She became a god

To see the Demon Lord, one will naturally encounter those two old acquaintances.

After several years apart, Princess Qingluan still possessed the same charm. Holding a vermilion brush, she reviewed documents, her brow slightly furrowed, as if she were facing a difficult decision.

Even the usually arrogant Emperor Longyan would only cook for Qingluan to comfort his wife after she had worked hard.

"I guess I came at the wrong time."

Upon seeing Ye Qingzhou, Long Yan exclaimed with delight, "I was just about to ask you to tell my fortune!"

Ye Qingzhou teased, "Are you perhaps asking about offspring? But you're still so young, there shouldn't be any rush."

Longyan rolled his eyes at her. "It's a shame that Aunt Jiao and Yanyan praised you for being smart. In my opinion, you're still just a greenhorn. Which eye of yours could tell that I can't have children?"

Long Yan, who was already furious after being subtly and overtly urged by a group of clan elders to have his wife take a husband, was truly enraged by Ye Qingzhou's joke.

Ye Qingzhou, innocently taking the blame, replied perfunctorily, "Yes, no."

Long Yan was both angry and annoyed. He angrily threw five thousand high-grade spirit stones at Ye Qingzhou and asked, "Have you noticed any unusual activity in the Qi River basin?"

While counting the spirit stones, Ye Qingzhou sorted out the questions: "Is there a specific section of the river? Is there a time limit? What kind of anomaly is it?"

Upon hearing this, Long Yan subconsciously looked at Feng Yangyang. Men are not allowed to interfere in politics. He had only heard his wife's occasional complaints and had no idea about the specifics.

Feng Yanyan knew that although he was arrogant and domineering, he was deeply devoted to her and his love was as deep as the sea. She comforted him by taking his hand and answered for him, "About a hundred years ago, in the section of the river from the east side of Da Shi Mountain to the west side of Xiao Shi Mountain, there was a marriage arrangement."

The information provided is fairly accurate.

What does Your Highness wish to know?

"I would like to know the details of that marriage."

The workload is neither too large nor too small.

Ye Qingzhou stretched out his hand, "Please write a word in my palm, Your Highness."

Feng Yangyang slid her finger and slowly wrote down a single character.

Ye Qingzhou silently prayed, "As you wish, by my spirit, I will glimpse fate, answer your questions, console the past, resolve the present, and judge the unknown."

After a long silence, Ye Qingzhou sighed deeply, "This is truly a tragic fate."

A hundred years ago, the Qi River was a beautiful, flowing stream.

The large and small rocky mountains form a natural barrier, allowing many small ethnic groups to be independent of larger ones.

But everything in the world is relative; even within small groups, there are larger groups.

In the demon race, females are inherently stronger, while males tend to focus on dressing up and decorating themselves.

Among the merfolk, the distinction between male and female is even more pronounced.

Female mermaids are brave and skilled in battle but ugly in appearance, while male mermaids are weak and easily bullied but stunningly beautiful.

Two exceptionally beautiful mermaids emerged from the mermaid clan along the Qi River: the eldest son was named Bin, and the second son was named Shan.

One day, Bin and Shan went swimming together and rescued a boy.

The young man, Chao, was the young master of the White Egret Clan.

To repay a debt of gratitude, Lu Chao arranged a marriage with a member of the Merfolk.

Unexpectedly, although the two mermaids had beautiful faces, they were extremely vicious. In order to marry the good-tempered and beautiful wife, Lu Chao, they disregarded their brotherhood and framed each other.

These young men were known for their jealousy and rivalry. Seeing that Bin and Chaoliang were about to get married, Shan couldn't sit still and went so far as to drug Chaoliang and lose his virginity to her.

Chao had no choice but to change her husband's name to Sugi. Upon learning this news, Bin, in a fit of rage, stripped Sugi's skin off and put it on himself on the eve of their wedding, and married his beloved wife, Sugi Chao, in a grand and glorious manner.

However, due to the time constraints, Bin did not finish the job and threw the skinned Shan body into the depths of the Qi River.

Having miraculously survived, Shan harbored deep resentment towards Bin and swore to the heavens that she would make Bin pay the price.

For the next century, these two ruthless mermaids fought each other, but this caused great suffering to the people in the surrounding area.
