The owner of Yaowang Valley is a patient with depression

Yu Yao didn’t want to expose her relationship with the First Lord yet, so she didn’t continue the topic.

The two of them continued to move forward in the direction of Xiandan Valley. Everything was safe and sound along the way, but what she didn't know was that the safety along the way was cleared in advance by Tianyu Palace.

"Sir, this is the nth wave." Tianqi's confidant said as he looked at the man collapsed on the ground in front of him.

Apocalypse didn't say anything, but his mood became increasingly worse. All this was just the beginning, and the Devil's Domain had not taken any action yet.

A secret guard suddenly appeared and said something in Tianqi's ear. Tianqi frowned, then told everyone to continue to clear out those who wanted to harm Yu Yao, and then disappeared on the spot.

"Tell me, is this Miss Yuyao related to the Palace Master or to Lord Tianqi?"

"Who knows, maybe it has something to do with Lord Dijie."

"I think it's the Palace Master. After all, he is related to Lord Tianqi or Lord Dijie. The Palace Master is so strange, why would he rush to please him?"

"That's right, Lord Tianqi and Lord Dijie should have received orders from the Palace Master. We must protect Miss Yuyao well."

"That's exactly what you said."

"By the way, which batch is this?"

"It's still early. The people from the Wanyan family and the Fire God Temple haven't made any moves yet. Oh, my Lord has told us before that we should be especially careful of those from the Devil Realm who might try to take action."

"it is good."

"What? I was so careful, but the journey was so peaceful." An Ziyou couldn't help but mutter.

"It's really too peaceful." Yu Yao also had doubts in her heart.

"It's so lively up front, what place is that?" Yu Yao was attracted by the sound coming from the front.

"It seems to be the Heshen Village ahead. I'm not sure either." An Ziyou looked ahead where the gongs and drums were beating loudly. He only knew about it when he accidentally saw the boundary marker just now.

Heshenzhai, what a nice name.

Yuyao and the other person walked forward.

I saw that there must be a happy event in the village. There were lanterns and decorations everywhere, and red festive characters of "happiness" were pasted everywhere, and everyone's face was filled with joy.

When they saw Yu Yao and the others, a strange look flashed across everyone's faces, and then they immediately returned to normal.

It turned out that there was a happy event in the village today. When the people in the village learned that Yu Yao and the others were passing by and wanted to rest for a night, they happily agreed. But the strange thing was that no one invited them to such a big happy event.

"Do you think they are hospitable or not?" An Ziyou and Yu Yao were taken by the people in the village to an unused house, which was a little far from where they lived. Even far away from their crowd.

The aunt who led the way prepared some tea and snacks for them and left in a hurry.

"It's good enough that you can give us a place to stay. Why do you have so many requests?" Yu Yao continued An Ziyu's words.

"I just find it weird. And I haven't seen the groom. The bride is weird too, just sitting there, not moving. The marriage customs here are too weird." An Ziyou was still muttering to himself. In fact, An Ziyou is not like this usually. In the eyes of outsiders, he is also seen as a cold and aloof master.

It's just that after spending a long time with Yuyao, he released his true nature. Because Yuyao gave him a sense of freedom and freedom to do whatever he wanted, and he also yearned for the feeling of being himself.

As the sky gradually darkened, the sounds of jubilation outside finally faded away. But soon the woman's sobbing and screaming could be heard: "No, I've figured it out. I don't want to go. It's not a god, it's a monster!"

Pah—a huge slapping sound was heard. Although it was at a distance, masters like Yu Yao and An Ziyu could hear it clearly at this distance and this noise.

"I told you there was a problem." An Ziyou suddenly perked up, and his handsome face became even brighter.

Yuyao made a hushing gesture.

Monster? Yuyao was a little curious.

"God? Is there any god that would harm people's lives? Even if there is, it is an evil god!"

"Shut her mouth! If she angers the river god, our entire village will be in trouble!" Following the angry voice of an old man, a majestic male voice sounded: "Zu Qingmei, are you going to let your entire family be buried with the river god for you?"

After the naked threat, Zu Qingmei, who was wearing a red wedding dress and whose makeup was smudged by tears, calmed down. Looking at the angry village chief in front of her and the people whose eyes were filled with sympathy, worry and expectation, Zu Qingmei finally compromised, gave up and accepted her fate.

Seeing that Zu Qingmei stopped accusing and sobbing, the village chief's expression improved a little: "Qingmei, don't worry. We will remember what you have done for the village. We will also treat your sick mother and young sister well."

The village chief tried to soften his voice: "Don't be afraid for a while. The sisters before you were all like this. They protected their relatives and kept the village safe for so many years."

"Since I promised it in the beginning, I will accept it now. I just hope you will remember your promise to me and treat my mother and sister well."

"Of course." The village chief said quickly.

"Also, I hope all of you promise me that you will not let my sister follow in my footsteps! Let my sister live her life in peace!" Zu Qingmei said loudly.

Upon hearing this, the village chief's face froze. As more and more women married the river god, there were fewer and fewer girls in the village. It was hard to say whether it would be her sister's turn in the future.

Seeing the village chief remained silent, Zu Qingmei's heart skipped a beat: "If you don't agree, I will cause a scene at the River God's wedding banquet today."

"How can you be so selfish!"

"That's right. Since you've already agreed, how can you go back on your word and add conditions? I didn't expect you to be such a kid. I really misjudged you."

"Qingmei, I usually think you are a sensible person, why are you so confused today?"

"Over the years, we aunts and uncles have helped you a lot, and the village chief even helped with the funeral arrangements when your father passed away. It's really heartbreaking to see you like this now."

Seeing that everyone who usually looked kind and gentle was now pointing fingers at her, Zu Qingmei's heart completely dropped to the bottom. Even if she married the river god now, she might not be able to save her sister.

The scene reached a deadlock for a time.

"How about I go in her place?" a clear female voice sounded.

Everyone looked at Yu Yao.

"Stranger, this is a serious matter in our village and you won't be allowed to joke around!" The village chief glared at Yu Yao angrily.

The old man walked up to the village chief, pointed at Yu Yao and shouted, "Stranger, we took you in out of kindness, but now you come here to mess things up. You are not welcome here, leave quickly."

Yu Yao couldn't help but laugh: "I'm not kidding. I have admired the River God for a long time, and I came here to have a chance to see the River God's true appearance. I just happened to hear your conversation, and what I said is true."

After Yu Yao finished speaking, everyone looked at her suspiciously.

"Girl, do you know that to marry the River God one needs to enter this black culvert? Until now, no one who married the River God and entered the black culvert has ever appeared again." Although Zu Qingmei hoped that someone could save her, she couldn't bear to see such a beautiful girl like Yu Yao die inexplicably in a foreign land.
