Liu Baishan carried Yang Cailan up and out of the water completely. Only then, she had woken up a little. Of course, she also realized that she was not consuming spiritual energy but a man.
"My poor daughter! Why are you so stubborn?" Yang Cailan's mother had betrothed her to a dying man to help her son get married. It could not be helped. After all, the family gave a lot of betrothal gifts. However, what she did not expect was that the man could not hold on and died right after the engagement.
Now, the man's family was clamoring for a refund or for her to be sent over to be a widow. Yang Cailan was only eighteen years old. If she became a widow at such a young age, her future would be ruined. Even if the family did not treat their daughter, Yang Cailan, as a human, they still had to protect their faces. Otherwise, who knew how the villagers would laugh at the Yang family.
However, the matter was not over yet. Not long after, Yang Cailan's mother found an old man for Yang Cailan to be his mistress. The other party gave her a lot of money. Yang Cailan's mother was crying now because she was afraid that she would lose the money. The money that could get her son a good wife!
However, no one knew that the real Yang Cailan had hanged herself when she found out that her family had forced her to marry a man who was about to die. The only one alive now was the fairy, Qing Lian.
"I'll beat you to death. How are you going to get married if your innocence is ruined? This is so embarrassing!" Yang Cailan's mother, Bai Hua, shouted as she patted the dazed Yang Cailan.
The surrounding people were all shocked. They had never seen such a vicious mother. Everyone could understand the situation just now, but Bai Hua said that Yang Cailan's innocence had been ruined. It was obvious that she was trying to scam Liu Baishan.
"Yang Laoda, is your wife that inhuman? If anything happens to Yang Cailan, I'd like to see how you're going to…" said the village party secretary. He was walking over with the tobacco pipe in his hand aggressively as he kicked the man who had his head shrunk and his hands hidden in his sleeves.
No one dared to step forward to stop the fight. The old village party secretary was the most influential person in the village.
"How did a good-for-nothing like you exist in our Yellow River Village? This woman is so spoiled that she dares to hit someone!" If it wasn't for his uncle who came and shouted, the village party secretary would have kicked Yang Laoda again. The village party secretary had never seen such a useless man who dared not say a word at home and let his wife stand up for him. It would have been fine if his wife was a good one, but...
"I know I was wrong. I had no choice!" Yang Laoda was very submissive.
The village party secretary, who had just pulled out the pipe pole and was about to put on the tobacco, was so angry that he kicked Yang Laoda twice again. 'What a useless man. It angers me even just by looking at him.'
"Isn't it enough that you sold Lan to someone once? Now, you want to sell her for the second time? Are you out of your mind? Don't you feel guilty about it? Are you trying to kill her?" The village party secretary did not kick Yang Laoda this time. Instead, he took the pipe pole and knocked Yang Laoda's head with the pipe pot.
Yang Cailan's mother, Bai Hua, was a fierce and fearless person, but she did not dare to make a sound when she saw the village party secretary.
"I don't dare to. Let's have a look at Lan!" Yang Laoda held his head and ran around. It was embarrassing for a man in his forties to be beaten up.
The village party secretary walked to Liu Baishan with the tobacco pipe in his hand. Liu Baishan had placed Yang Cailan on the big stone slab by the river. Liu Baishan stood at the side and wrung the water off his body, ready to leave.
However, before Liu Baishan could make one step forward, an old woman lay down in front of him and threw a tantrum at him.
"You're not going anywhere. You ruined my daughter's innocence. You have to take responsibility! Otherwise, I'll sue you for taking liberties of women!" Bai Hua pointed at Liu Baishan and shouted. Since so many people had seen him kiss Yang Cailan, her new marriage arrangement would definitely not work out. Although Yang Cailan's fiance was old, he did not lack a wife to marry with. No one would want to marry Yang Cailan after this. So Bai Hua thought to trap Liu Baishan and make him pay.
If Yang Cailan had not been holding onto his clothes, Liu Baishan would have left long ago. He looked at the woman on the ground and then at Yang Cailan, who was still clinging to him. He was a little annoyed at saving Yang Cailan.
"I was saving her!" Liu Baishan said deeply with his voice. Yang Cailan overheard that and peeked at Liu Baishan with her eyes narrowed.
Yang Cailan thought, 'This man looks quite burly. He had the potential to become a general. But the scar on his face was a little scary and it looks like it split his face in half. Lucky for him, I don't mind that. Once I stabilized my soul in this body, everything would be fine. Just when I was wondering how I should build a rapport with this walking spiritual energy container, my "mother" gave me an idea. If I married Liu Baishan, I would be able to consume spiritual energy whenever I want. At my current state, I had to get married anyway, no matter what.'
