Capítulo 1256: Chapter 1256: River God Above (Part 2)
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Chuzheng suddenly sat up, the sunlight was dazzling, and she instinctively tilted her head to the side.
“Miss, you’re awake?”
A clear and gentle voice sounded from the other side.
Chuzheng quickly turned her head and met the man’s eyes; then the man’s face became clear in her vision.
Handsome and elegant, extraordinary, exuding a refined and gentle aura.
Chuzheng blurted out, “Lang Sha?”
The man was slightly surprised, “Do you know me, miss?”
Chuzheng: “…”
What’s going on?
In the plot, it was supposed to be the original owner who saved Lang Sha, so how did it turn into…
No way!!
Previously, that palace suddenly flew towards her, then transformed into a beam of light, directly passing through Yin Xian and into her body, after which she passed out.
That palace… couldn’t be inside her body, could it?
Suppressing her doubts, Chuzheng answered Lang Sha’s question with a blank face, “I don’t know you.”
Lang Sha, slightly puzzled, asked, “Then how did you know my name is Lang Sha, miss?”
Chuzheng denied expressionlessly, “You heard wrong, I didn’t call you.”
Lang Sha: “…”
Lang Sha coughed lightly into his fist, his face somewhat pale, as if he were injured.
“How did you end up in the river, miss? If I hadn’t discovered you in time, you might have been in danger.”
“Thank you.”
“…”
Chuzheng got up from the ground; they were on a beach, the soft sand heated by the sun radiating waves of heat underfoot.
Chuzheng was wearing a very festive outfit and a veil on her face, meant as a ‘sacrificial offering’ attire prepared by the populace; she pulled off the outer garment and threw it on the ground.
As she was about to tear off the veil, the person beside her suddenly collapsed onto the ground.
Startled, Chuzheng jumped aside.
What’s this! Faking an injury?
Chuzheng stared at Lang Sha for a few seconds, hesitated before moving over and bending down to feel his breath—there’s life, not dead. Should she finish him off?
[…Miss, please be a good person; he did just save you, didn’t he!]
Ever ready to stop the crazy antics of our miss, the King’s Account expressed how exhausted it felt.
Chuzheng responded with a nonchalant oh.
Then she pulled down her veil to breathe freely, ignoring the person on the ground, and began examining her own body.
What was that palace that flew into her body?
Why did it fly into her body?!
Stuff not in the plot, why make a mess!!
Although you are a palace, you must stick to the setting!!
–
Chuzheng pondered over the palace, not moving, just sitting by the river.
The golden sun sank to the west, the crescent moon hung at the edge of the sky, its cool light falling on the river surface, where a thin layer of mist gradually rose, hazy and dim.
“Ugly!”
Chuzheng suddenly heard this voice.
This voice sounded familiar, very much like those aquatic creatures from the palace earlier.
Something broke through the river surface, tracing a parabolic arc in the void, and with a splash, it fell back into the water.
Ripples formed on the water surface, and then that thing leapt up again…
“Ugly!!”
Chuzheng: “…”
Aren’t you going too far!!
I’ve even set foot on land, and you’re still chasing to curse at me!
Tonight, I’ll have fish for dinner!
Chuzheng rolled up her sleeves to catch the fish.
A few fish were in a star-gazing posture, their heads protruding, staring at her.
“Ugly, the River God is coming to catch you, you better run.”
“Ugly, don’t blame us for not warning you.”
“Ah, she looks a bit fierce?”
“The River God is coming, we better leave too.”
“Ugly, you better run!!”
The few fish chattered before diving into the water, creating ripples that quickly disappeared in the growing misty surface of the river.
Chuzheng: “…”
I suspect they were here to curse at me, but I have no evidence.
The River God…
Wasn’t that thing supposed to be killed by Lang Sha? Even if not killed, it should have been seriously injured, how can it still come for me?
As soon as this thought crossed Chuzheng’s mind, the starry sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds.
The mist over the river started swirling, as something from afar hurriedly approached.
The thing moved extremely fast, and just as Chuzheng took a step back, a gale carrying the river’s humid stench struck her face.
The mist enveloped a figure, who stood impossibly in midair three meters away from her on the river surface.
The newcomer had a robust build, a square face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes, giving off a very fierce vibe.
Black horns grew on his forehead, resembling ram horns… though rather ugly, looking like they were underdeveloped.
This River God is malnourished?
The River God sternly demanded, “Hand over the thing!”
Chuzheng calmly countered, “What thing?”
River God: “Stop playing dumb with me! Hand it over quickly, or else you’ll face the consequences!”
“…”
You didn’t even give me rotten fruits!
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Chuzheng guessed it must be the palace, but how could she admit it now!
“Courting death!”
The River God waved his hand, and several water columns shot skyward from the river, lunging toward Chuzheng.
Water columns attacked from different directions; Chuzheng dodged one, then the second.
Yin Xian slid from Chuzheng’s wrist, forming a silver light wall just before the next water column could hit her.
Bang—
The water column crashed into the silver light wall, splashing apart, showering down from the sky.
The River God, infuriated, summoned dozens more water columns from the river, grandly smashing toward Chuzheng.
Chuzheng could avoid them, but the unconscious Lang Sha lying on the ground couldn’t.
After all, he had saved her from the river; quick as lightning, Chuzheng grabbed Lang Sha by the foot and yanked him over to her side.
Lang Sha collided with something, Chuzheng felt a slight obstruction, but she didn’t have time to look, roughly pulling him over with force!
“Mere human, daring to oppose me, hand over the thing sensibly!!”
The River God’s voice came through the water columns, tinged with murderous aura.
“…”
Do you take me for a fool!
With your attitude, even handing it over would lead to death!
“Miss…”
Lang Sha seemed to have awoken from the impact, opening his eyes only to see water columns crashing down, his pupils constricting.
“Watch out!”
Lang Sha raised his hand, releasing an invisible wave that struck the water columns, forming a standoff in the air.
“Miss, run quickly!”
Lang Sha shouted to Chuzheng, enduring discomfort, climbing up from the ground, swiftly intercepting the remaining water columns.
The River God, his focus on Chuzheng earlier, hadn’t noticed Lang Sha.
Now that Lang Sha made a move, the River God immediately recognized him as the one he fought against earlier.
Enemies meeting, their eyes blazed with hatred; countless water columns erupted from the river, attacking like they were free of charge.
Chuzheng retreated, quickly disappearing into the nearby thicket.
Lang Sha, seeing this, sighed in relief, concentrating on dealing with the River God.
Previously, the River God had clearly been injured, so how had his strength recovered so quickly!!
Lang Sha didn’t know what was happening with the River God, but he was in bad shape himself, uncertain how much longer he could hold out.
He just hoped that young lady could run far away…
