The bloody girl had blood oozing from the corners of her mouth and two bloody holes on her arms.

Although her brows were furrowed in pain, she still held the bright red wedding gown tightly, as if it was more precious than her life.

The blood dyed the wedding gown red, making it look even more translucent and gorgeous.

Liu Jinan walked up to her and said, "Are you going to continue to obstruct us, Miss Chang? Or should I call you, Ms. Sea Monster?"

Chang Siqin shook his head and laughed: "Ms. Sea Monster is not a very nice name. Okay, okay, I admit defeat, you win."

She looked at Liu Jinan, her beautiful eyes full of pleading: "Before you receive the gift from Jialin River, can you fulfill one of my requests?"

"You are a defeated general, yet you still dare to make demands?" Duan Haiping blocked Liu Jinan behind him with a cold look.

Chang Siqin was stunned and crawled back twice in fear.

Liu Jinan patted Xiao Duan on the shoulder and said, "Don't be so fierce. Be gentle to girls."

He ignored Duan Haiping's dissatisfied look and helped Chang Siqin sit on the wooden box: "Go ahead."

"Let me tell you a story." Chang Siqin sighed softly and his eyes gradually drifted away.

"A long time ago, there was a small village called Heqi Village on the bank of the Jialin River."

"The people in the village have believed in the river god for generations, and every twelve years, they choose a river priestess."

"On the surface, she is the wife of the river god, but in reality, she is just a sacrifice to the river god."

The girl's tone was very flat, as if she was just narrating someone else's life story, but she didn't know that every pause and every fluctuation of her emotions betrayed her.

It turns out that Chang Siqin's original name was Wang Yunmei, Wang Gui was her father, and Wang Yunshan was her sister.

Her mother was the previous witch in the village, but she was killed by the husband of the river priestess because she identified the river priestess.

The husband of the river priestess also paid with his life, leaving behind an orphan girl who was only ten years old.

The orphan girl used some unknown means to become the new witch's favorite disciple.

And asked the witch to designate Wang Yunmei as the next river priestess.

"When will the cycle of revenge end? When Wang Yunmei learned that she would become a river priestess, she calmly accepted her fate."

Chang Siqin's eyes were filled with blood and tears: "But she never expected that her compromise would bring her an extremely miserable end."

That year, Wang Yunmei had just turned eighteen, and it was only the second year since she was designated as the river priestess.

The current witch used the drought as an excuse to deceive the villagers and force her into the coffin.

She put on the wedding gown that her mother had sewn for her before she died, and was put into the coffin amid the cries of her father and sister, and drifted with the current.

The river water overflowed her mouth and flooded her eyes.

She slammed the coffin lid desperately, but she forgot that it was an airtight coffin for human sacrifice that used forty-nine wood screws!

How could she, a weak woman, have the strength to break free?

Endless darkness swallowed her up. She gave up struggling in despair and walked towards death bit by bit.

It would have been fine if it had ended there, but the witch was determined to kill her and even found a coffin exactly the same as hers from somewhere.

It was said that the coffin had returned to the world of the living, but nothing was known about it. It was said that she missed her loved ones.

The general Wang Gui and Wang Yunshan were sent into the river together to reunite with the river god's new wife.

Poor little sister, who was only nine years old, was also sent into the human sacrifice coffin and lost her life.

Hu Jianye had already burst into tears after hearing this: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, why would we be fighting? I'll help you with anything you want me to do!"

Wang Yunmei shook her head and said with a wry smile: "You have your rules, and we have ours."

Suppressing the sympathy in his heart, Liu Jinan asked her: "What do you want us to do for you?"

Wang Yunmei looked at the hole behind her: "After my father and Shanshan were killed, I found that I had some unusual abilities, such as being able to attach myself to other creatures and coexist with them."

"Among many marine creatures, I chose a giant squid. I used it to find my father and Shanshan's coffins. At the same time, I created a shipwreck while the witch and the orphan girl were out at sea."

"I avenged my family, but because of the killing, I lost the qualification to reincarnate."

"I wanted to free my father and Shanshan, but I didn't expect that the soul-breaking nail embedded in the coffin was a treasure passed down from the witch's family."

"In order to open the coffin and send their souls into reincarnation, they must first go through a test."

After hearing this, Hu Jianye couldn't close his mouth anymore.

His eyes were full of surprise: "Do people really have souls after death? Does reincarnation really exist?"

Liu Jinan didn't know how to answer his question.

Duan Haiping sneered: "Even the end of the world has appeared, what else is impossible? It may not have existed before, but it is hard to say now."

Putting Wang Yunmei's stories together, Liu Jinan finally realized: "It turns out that this is the real test of the gift of Jialin River."

Wang Yunmei nodded slightly: "You are indeed very smart. Yes, everything that has happened before is my father and I selecting candidates to participate in the test."

"He is a kind-hearted man who does not like fighting and killing, and does not want anyone to die in vain to save his and his little sister's trapped souls."

"I thought it would take a long time for anyone to pass the screening, but I didn't expect that we would find the person we like just after the end of the world."

Hu Jianye scratched his head embarrassedly: "I can't help it, I'm just that good."

Wang Yunmei looked at him with amusement: "Well, Mr. Hu, you may have misunderstood. I was referring to Liu Jinan."

"Ah?" Visible disappointment.

In order not to hurt Hu Jianye's feelings, Wang Yunmei also praised him: "Your ability is really amazing. You caught me off guard on the first day."

"In order to deal with you, I had to ask my father to add some powder developed using my special ability into the food, so that you would have hallucinations and think that my little sister was me."

She patiently explained: "Jianye, you are simple-minded and lack experience. This test is not suitable for you."

"You have to know how dangerous this test is. Once you fall into it, you will never wake up again."

"Otherwise, my father and I wouldn't have hesitated for so long, until you came to our door and we decided to let you accept the test."

Disappointment quickly turned into worry. When Hu Jianye heard that this test could be life-threatening, he subconsciously wanted to persuade Liu Jinan not to go.

"I'm willing to be tested."

Liu Jinan's gaze was more determined than ever before.

Hu Jianye's words were stuck in his throat.

"Old Hu," Liu Jinan put his hand on Hu Jianye's shoulder, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely. Don't forget, we still have the martial soul fusion technique!"

Hu Jianye nodded heavily: "That's right, kid, don't let my abilities be weakened!"

Liu Jinan waved his hand and followed Wang Yunmei into the cave without looking back.
