Chapter 3: chapter 1-2 众神新娘 The Bride of deity
Ābèi did not know her fate. She wasn't even sure if she would survive.
A giant serpent as tall as the sky. The scales on the body are completely black. spread sharp claws on its four legs. appeared from the water, suddenly snapping her whole body into its mouth!
Even Master Huì míng, who practiced asceticism until becoming great master, waved his hand to say goodbye to her...
So...
How about her pitiful life?
A small wooden boat that the painter intended to paint with the best of his skill was turned into small pieces. dissolving like acid rain
She is still alive because Lóng– nián Deity did not swallow her, or maybe this thing only had two sharp fangs on left and right? She couldn't see that he had teeth to grind food like a human.
This dark place was sweltering hot and awkward, and the smell was not good. The scorching sound of boiling yellow poison hit Master Huì míng's protection. He had spread it as a shield for her.
Ābèi was swayed. The sound of water from outside was a gigantic ripple. When she sat, she closed her eyes to concentrate. She was able to control a tumultuous situation. She bounced around like a ball rolling in a glass bottle. even though she didn't know how long she had been in the serpent's mouth.
until reaching a river somewhere. While Lóng-nián Deity opened his mouth, she slipped through a small hole. kicked herself out in a supine position, jumped into the air, and then stepped on the clawed hands of a dragon.
When the tribute pulls off the bride's veil. He stared at her under the dim moonlight.
Lóng- nián Deity raised his big finger to consider her.
She was a human, a woman, smaller than his terrifying red eyes.
"You... still alive?"
"Will you congratulate me? Lord Lóng– nián, I suspect my skin is a bit sticky."
"The sacrifice that I brought back for twelve lives turned to ashes. They couldn't stand the poison from my saliva. I don't think this year... Lord Lóng yī jìn sent a female master to come over. Is he thinking of rebellion against the deities?" The voice intimidated her. Ābèi raised her hand against him.
"Wait, Lord. It's just a misunderstanding. I'm Miss Yan's daughter. When she gave birth to me and found that I had a birthmark in the shape of a python. She sent me to Master Huì míng in Tiān Long Mountain. I have just been taught a few martial arts techniques. I don't know much. I can't call myself as a master."
Somehow, she survived, so she didn't want them to get into trouble. She had such a beautiful heart,
Ābèi thought while straightening her back, putting her hands behind her with her courage.
"Most human beings are liars. Your immortal shield must be at least as powerful as the Grandmaster's. So, you can survive."
"Because Master Huì míng saved me, if I had spread my armor shield by myself, I wouldn't have survived as you said. Please believe me Lord, I'm telling the truth. Lord Lóng yī jìn never thought of betraying gods. Otherwise, for what purpose would a sacrifice be sent every twelve years?"
Lóng- nián Deity rolled his red eyes before returning his gaze to her face.
"I will inform the Heavenly King of everything you have told me. Hopefully your words will not burden me later."
In the end, the enormous black serpent transformed into a handsomely clothed man. The long-sleeved shoulder coat is shiny leather, like snakeskin. The waistband is woven with gold thread and embroidered with dragons. It was all pitch black.
So... this terrifying giant snake had a dragon's paw? Even his clothes are like that too.
Ābèi furrowed her brows together in a confused expression. Surprisingly for her, who had not taken her eyes off him for a moment.
As she had just lost her balance, she almost fell into the water when Lord Lóng- nián suddenly transformed himself without telling her a word.
Thanks to her agility, she can jump across the water whenever Deity Lóng- nián commands.
"Follow me"
The divine man drew both palms out. Kick his feet into the air to quickly get ahead of her!
The moonlight shone brightly enough along the river at night to illuminate the path.
Next to the lush forest is a large house. It appears to be the same house as Lord Lóng yī jìn's, but there are minor differences. She remembered exactly when she was apprehended by the city lord's soldiers,
It was surrounded by glistening emerald waters, which was unusual. The blossoming flora was as bright as the color of blood. There's also a sweet pink rose. The bright white flower bloomed beautifully.
It was unbelievable that the beauty in front of her was evident in her eyes.
She'd only heard an old woman describe the celestial world as clean and beautiful. It's much wider than the human world. It's the dwelling place of the immortal gods.
The celestial world, which is divided into the heavens, earth, and water, is higher, more beautiful, and more peaceful.
"You lied to me one thing." A deep voice said. Lóng nián Deity turned around to face her, with eyes as sharp as a slashed knife. "Know a little martial art, but you were able to catch up with me."
"I need to keep up with you because I don't want to be left in the middle of the forest. My feet are all sore. You keep jumping away from me. You didn't turn around even once to see if I could catch you up or not. How do you know about it?"
Ābèi argues well. She's the best at this. She removed her shoes, casting curious glances to the left and right. Suddenly, an angry deity flew into the air. She hurried after him, shouting after him. Begging him
"Lord Lóng- nián! Please do not make the thunder, rain, and wind destroy my city. Every word I say is true. I definitely wouldn't dare lie to you."
"It's a heavenly command. I don't have the authority to make decisions."
This is devastating news for City Lord!
If it's up to heavenly's command, it means they all came to die for nothing.
Ābèi was shocked. She does not have a chance to redeem anything from the deities while arriving in front of the sliding door, beautifully carved in bamboo patterns. Looking into the narrow, square room, there is a mattress covered with soft fur. a single candle lit up.
"I don't like to welcome guests. Your dwelling is this basement, and I won't allow you to wander around. The most important thing... Do not disturb me."
"Wait, Lord..." She held her hand up, looking at his disapproving expression right now. He surely didn't want to talk to her. Ābèi didn't want him to think that she was fussy, so she stepped into the room, speaking softly.
"Humans say that you... in the form of a man have a black face with serpent's fangs and a body full of snake scales with a blade edge. Sometimes you have a body with two serpents' heads. Some say that you were a snake wrapped around a turtle."
Dark eyebrows furrowed together in question. "Is that so?"
"But you... uh... look better than what I heard... At this time, if you go for a walk in the human world. Women from everywhere would have surrounded you... look amazing... Like a carved jade."
Bang!
Lóng- nián Deity flicked his hand and slammed a black spell into the door. The pitch-black vapor was still floating in the air.
Ābèi's face was startled. She stepped back when the door slammed.
She only complimented him on how attractive he was. Did she say something wrong!?
