Severing ties with family to marry the young marshal, his whole family chases me to the crematorium.

Although Shen Qingyao wanted to separate her destiny from the Shen family, she did not want to risk her life for it.

"Master, what should I do now?"

Shen Qingyao looked at Xia Ran with a bitter expression and expectant eyes.

"What are you panicking about? You've survived this long, which means he can't kill you yet. Getting injured is just a normal occurrence for him."

Xia Ran's words were like a revelation to Shen Qingyao, making her realize that she had indeed been getting injured quite frequently since marrying Si Jingnian.

"You two haven't done *that* yet, have you?"

Xia Ran suddenly leaned closer to Shen Qingyao, her eyes full of gossip.

Shen Qingyao didn't immediately understand what her master was talking about and looked at her blankly.

"what?"

"What I mean is, have you two consummated your marriage yet?"

Shen Qingyao blushed instantly from her neck to her face. Xia Ran understood immediately and couldn't help but shake her head with a smile.

"It's a good thing you haven't consummated your marriage with him yet, otherwise do you think you'd still be standing here unharmed?"

Xia Ran gently fanned herself with a fan while listlessly lifting her eyelids to look at Shen Qingyao.

"However, there is a way to solve your predicament."

"any solution?"

Shen Qingyao's face lit up with joy, and she looked intently at Xia Ran, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Kill him before he brings you bad luck."

Shen Qingyao: ...

It must be said that my master's method really solved the problem at its root.

"Is there no other way?"

Xia Ran shook her head lazily, as calmly as if she were talking about saving lives, not killing.

Shen Qingyao fell silent for a moment, her mind in turmoil.

She did want to live, but she didn't want to sacrifice innocent people.

Moreover, ever since she met Si Jingnian, he has taken exceptional care of her, making it even harder for her to do it.

Xia Ran raised an eyebrow at Shen Qingyao, a knowing smile playing on her lips.

"Actually, it's not like there's no way at all."

At this moment, Shen Qingyao had already given up hope for her master, and only looked up at her with a dejected expression.

"That kid's fate is special, but it's not as special as yours."

Shen Qingyao was even more confused. She had never known what her destiny was, and her master had never told her either.

What is my destiny?

"Well... it's a secret that can't be revealed. Anyway, your fate is quite special, so there's no need to worry about that kid bringing you bad luck."

Xia Ran raised an eyebrow and chuckled, showing no sign of nervousness whatsoever. Only then did Shen Qingyao realize that her master had been teasing her the whole time.

"Then what you just said..."

"I'm not making this up! If that kid were to marry someone else, that person would die the very next day."

"But you are different. After your destiny was combined with his, it has already changed his destiny in some mysterious way."

Hearing this, Shen Qingyao breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little scared.

If my fate weren't special, wouldn't I have died long ago?

“But Master, I have indeed been injured twice since I became his wife.”

"That's because you're too bad at it, you can't blame them."

Shen Qingyao: ...

This is my own master.

Seeing Shen Qingyao's speechless expression, Xia Ran not only didn't restrain herself at all, but instead raised her hand and patted Shen Qingyao's shoulder, looking at her with a look of disappointment.

Shen Qingyao: ...

Master, you don't need to do this. I know I'm not very good.

Suddenly, Xia Ran approached Shen Qingyao's ear like a ghost and whispered something.

"Yaoyao, let me tell you, although that boy's fate is ominous, if you and he can become a real couple, it will be beneficial to you."

Shen Qingyao realized what her master meant, and her face flushed red again.

"Master, I have come back to see you this time for another matter."

Fearing that her master might say something shocking again, Shen Qingyao quickly changed the subject.

Seeing this, Xia Ran couldn't help but smile jokingly and didn't continue to dwell on the topic.

"You haven't seen any benefits, but you remember your master. Now that you have a problem, you know to come to your master. Go ahead and tell me."

Shen Qingyao completely ignored her complaints.

"Master, do you know about the God of Bliss?"

Upon hearing the words "God of Bliss," Xia Ran abruptly stopped fanning herself and immediately sat up straight.

Where did you hear about this?

Seeing Xia Ran's serious expression, Shen Qingyao knew that she understood this Goddess of Bliss.

“A very large cult called the Bliss Society has appeared in the southern part of the city. It enshrines a statue called the God of Bliss.”

Xia Ran waved her fan again, but she was clearly no longer as relaxed and carefree as before.

"This thing is an evil god, it was banished from the country long ago, how could it suddenly reappear?"

Xia Ran's expression was solemn, and the slowly waving fan reflected Shen Qingyao's fluctuating emotions.

"Master, what exactly is this God of Bliss?"

"The God of Bliss, although the name sounds nice, is actually an evil god."

"Bliss, as the name suggests, is a state where one experiences only joy and happiness, and all troubles and sorrows disappear."

Shen Qingyao frowned deeply. Could there really be such a god in this world? Just the name itself sounded sinister.

Everyone in this world experiences joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness; no emotion is dispensable.

There is only joy and happiness, but no anger or sorrow. This is not what a normal person should have.

"This kind of evil god is nourished by absorbing negative human emotions. Every human emotion carries vitality, and sorrow and anger are the easiest to take away a person's vitality."

"When the sorrow and anger of a person are absorbed by the God of Bliss, a large amount of their vital energy will be absorbed along with it. In mild cases, this will shorten their lifespan, and in severe cases, it will lead to immediate death. However, the person whose sorrow and anger have been absorbed will remain in a state of extreme joy until death. Therefore, people who die from having their vital energy absorbed by the God of Bliss usually have a smile on their face."

Shen Qingyao became increasingly alarmed as she listened, and at the same time, she couldn't help but feel worried.

Everyone desires joy and happiness, and the Paradise Society uses this as its banner; it's likely that very few people can resist such temptation.

The exact number of followers of the Bliss Society is currently unknown.

"Those who worship the God of Bliss are usually very ambitious and want to use the God of Bliss to achieve their own goals. They will recruit many followers to absorb their sorrow and anger."

“Once these believers experience it once, they can’t help but want to do it a second time, just like drug addicts, they become addicted.”

"But if they don't receive these offerings for a period of time, they will become irritable, manic, or even experience hallucinations and violent tendencies."

Xia Ran couldn't help but sigh, the unease in her eyes betraying her emotions.

"Yaoyao, this kind of cult should not exist."

“I know, but Master, the Bliss Society in Nancheng must be a very large organization, which is why I came back to find you.”

Shen Qingyao could sense Xia Ran's unease, and an indescribable heaviness rose in her heart as well.

In her memory, nothing had ever troubled her master so much, but now this Blissful Gathering had brought out such a solemn expression in her, which meant that this matter was indeed very troublesome.
