Everyone did their job and started cutting down trees.

"Okay, it's time for us to go pick some lychees."

As she spoke, Qingyu turned her head and looked at her daughter who had thrown herself into Xie Chenzhou's arms. She felt a little headache:

"Weiwei, why did you run over to the guests again?"

Weiwei hugged Xie Chenzhou's neck, rubbed her forehead against his face, and called affectionately:

"Boat, boat."

Xie Chenzhou held her with one hand and turned away uncomfortably:

"Stop yelling, it's annoying."

She turned a deaf ear to him and continued to rub against him, still jumping out one word at a time.

Xie Chenzhou couldn't do anything with her, so he could only look to Sang Nian for help.

Sang Nian came back to his senses, collected his thoughts, and said with a smile:

"She likes you very much and sticks to you all the time."

Xie Chenzhou frowned:

"Very annoying."

Sang Nian said, "Don't say this in front of the children."

Xie Chenzhou changed his words: "It's a bit annoying."

Sang Nian: "Tsk."

Xie Chenzhou had no expression on his face:

"She's so cute."

Sang Nian nodded with relief.

He handed Weiwei to Qingyu stiffly, then turned around and followed everyone to cut down trees.

The sword flashed, and "boom" sounds rang out one after another, and a row of trees fell down in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Yuren, who was holding the axe, stared blankly with his jaw hanging open.

Qingyu also said:

"It's really strange. Our Weiwei actually likes your friend so much. In the morning, too, it was as if she knew you were coming and she suddenly ran out."

Sang Nian touched his chin:

"She didn't come here specially to pick us up, did she?"

After saying that, she narrowed her eyes, moved closer to Weiwei, and lowered her voice:

"Tell me, who sent you here? Who is your superior?"

Weiwei: “Yeah?”

Sang Nian: "What is your purpose in lurking around us?"

Weiwei was amused by her. She waved her little hands, exclaimed "Ah", and hugged her neck, rubbing it again and again like she did to Xie Chenzhou.

Sang Nian's heart melted. When he started chopping trees, his waist and legs no longer felt sore. He just carried the sword and chopped trees.

With the help of the two of them, the wood needed to build the bridge was quickly cut.

The next problem was to transport the wood to the river.

"Use ropes to pull them one by one?" Sang Nian said, "That's too slow."

Zhu Yu people scratched their heads:

"What should I do?"

Sang Nian put all the wood into the storage bag:

"Okay, I'll let them out tomorrow when we get to the river."

Zhu Yuren widened his eyes, not understanding how she could have made the wood disappear.

Sang Nian demonstrated it again and explained:

"This storage bag has a formation drawn on it. It contains a small space, about the size of your village."

Their eyes widened even more.

"Okay, let's pack up and go back to eat." Qingyu said, "We have picked the fruits."

Everyone responded, packed up their things quickly, and laughed and talked all the way.

The Zhuyu people eat together and do not eat alone in the house.

To the east of the village, a statue of a god more than ten meters high stands on the grass.

Over time, the face of the statue has become blurred and its original appearance cannot be seen.

He clasped his hands in front of his chest, his temperament was extremely peaceful, but at his feet was crawling a ferocious beast.

"This is the deity we believe in in Zhuyu." Qingyu introduced, "It was He who created Zhuyu and gave us life."

Sang Nian hurriedly followed her example and bowed to the statue.

Xie Chenzhou stood far away and had no intention of coming over to salute.

Sang Nian didn't force him and smiled at him:

"Let's go eat."

There was a long table on the grass not far away.

Wooden plates filled with food whose ingredients could not be identified were brought to the table one by one.

Everyone sat on both sides, clasped their hands in front of their chests, and prayed in unison:

"May the gods bless you."

After that, they picked up their cutlery and started eating.

Sang Nian looked at the food in front of him curiously.

The milky white strips are soft and a bit like noodles, but they smell like a fresh grassy fragrance.

"This is noodles made from the seeds of yellow clover that are ground into powder."

Qingyu Road:

"If you take it, you won't get scabies and your skin will be very good."

Sang Nian took a tentative bite and tasted a very special herbal aroma.

She took out a bottle of vinegar from her storage bag, poured in a lethal amount, and devoured the meal.

Xie Chenzhou also tasted it, silently took away her vinegar, and poured in a lethal amount as well.

There are also a few plates of lychee fruit on the side.

Sang Nian said:

"You guys only have fruit and noodles for dinner? It's so light, no meat?"

There are obviously many animals like hares in the mountains, so it shouldn't be possible that there is no meat at all.

Qingyu looked serious:

"We can't hurt them, it's not right."

Sang Nian was slightly startled.

Qingyu's husband interrupted:

"If we hurt the rabbit, we would be very sad, so sad that we would want to die with the rabbit."

"The same goes for harming other intelligent beings."

Sang Nian paused while eating noodles.

The words that thief said that day are still ringing in my ears——

"There are no more compassionate and kind-hearted creatures in the world than them."

Zhu Yu clan, the descendants of God.

Possessing a compassionate heart that rivals that of the gods.

But this may not be a good thing for them.

……

The sun gradually sank into the distant mountains, and dusk enveloped the whole area.

After the meal, the villagers started singing and dancing around the statue.

Sang Nian and Xie Chenzhou sat aside and watched, propping up their chins and saying comfortably:

"so good."

Xie Chenzhou looked at her seriously and said "hmm" nonchalantly.

Qingyu rushed out of the crowd, forcibly pulled them away, and said enthusiastically:

"I'll teach you how to dance!"

Sang Nian was frightened and waved his hands hurriedly:

"No no no no no—"

Before she finished her words, she and Xie Chenzhou were pushed in front of the statue.

Suddenly, the statue lit up.

Two small white flowers floated down from the sky and slowly landed in the palms of Sang Nian and Xie Chenzhou.

Sang Nianqi asked: "What is this?"

Xie Chenzhou was not interested and threw it away.

Qingyu said happily:

"This is a white flower, which means that the gods have blessed you. It proves that they approve of your union and that you will be a happy couple!"

Sang Nian translated truthfully, and Xie Chenzhou bent down and picked up the flowers.

The next moment, all the Zhuyu people in the surrounding area rushed over and escorted the two of them away.

Sang Nian changed into the Zhuyu tribe's clothes without knowing what was going on, and asked in a daze:

"What is this going to do?"

Qingyu dressed her up skillfully and replied with a smile:

"According to the rules, whoever gets the white flower must get married immediately under the statue.

In this way, the blessing of the gods will be realized, and you will be together forever, hand in hand for the rest of your lives."

Sang Nian: "Ah??!!!"

Soon, she was dressed up and escorted back to the statue.

Xie Chenzhou had been waiting there for a long time.

He also changed into the clothing of the Zhuyu tribe, making his figure look even taller and more slender.

Hearing Sang Nian's voice, he turned around immediately.

Both of them were stunned.

The boy had long, slightly curly hair and wore a very thin headband that looked like a silver chain, with small red and blue glass beads hanging on it.

There were tiny braids on both sides of her hair, a shiny pendant hanging in her hair, and a few bright red pheasant feathers at the end of her hair.

Except for the headband, Sang Nian was dressed almost exactly like him.

However, the pendants in her hair were more numerous and more exquisite, her clothes were more flowing, and the bracelets on her arms were dazzling.

It was the first time that Sang Nian saw him dressed like this. She subconsciously held her breath and even forgot to blink.

She praised blankly: "It's really beautiful."

He also said, “It’s really beautiful.”

Sang Nian: "Yes, yes, you are really beautiful."

Xie Chenzhou: "I'm talking about you."

Sang Nian's already confused head became even more dizzy.

Amid the congratulations of the Zhu Yu people, she was pushed to Xie Chenzhou's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him under the statue.

The Zhuyu people on both sides were busy scattering flower petals.

Xie Chenzhou reached out to Sang Nian with red earlobes.

Sang Nian said awkwardly:

"Isn't this a bad idea? Do you know what we are going to do?"

Xie Chenzhou: “Hmm?”

Sang Nian: "They said we got the flowers and we have to get married under the statue. Do we really have to...get married?"

Xie Chenzhou asked back:

"Weren't we married a long time ago?"

Sang Nian's voice was so low that only he could hear it:

"But that time... that time doesn't count."

Xie Chenzhou pursed his lips and asked:

"So—will you marry me again?"

Sang Nian was stunned.

After a while, she took his outstretched hand and interlocked their fingers.

She said softly:

"willing."

Sang Nian is willing to marry Xie Chenzhou.

Cheers rang out like a tide.

The two of them smiled, their hearts beating like drums.

……

No one knew that many years later, Xie Chenzhou, no longer a teenager, came to the statue again.

At that time, he had already become the Demon Lord who was feared, hated, and loathed by the world.

Demon Lord Xie Chenzhou knelt before the statue for a long time with his hands clasped together devoutly.

"Gods, I, the disciple Xie Chenzhou, hereby repent for all the sins I have committed."

"I am willing to fall into the endless hell for this, suffer the pain of being burned by fire every day, and have my bones and tendons torn out, and never have peace."

"I only ask...for my wife to return."

"I'm guilty."

"I love her."
