Chapter 1193: The River God’s Bride 28

Hearing Lihua’s words, Yu’er’s face fell slightly, though he still nodded obediently. “Alright… then,” he said, his tone tinged with disappointment. After handing over the hairpin, he turned and left, his steps noticeably slower than before, his mood clearly weighed down. In his heart, he couldn’t help but feel confused—she had liked the gift, so why was she still unwilling to spend time with him? Watching him go, Tang Wan immediately leaned closer to Bingtong and whispered, “Tongtong, let’s move aside first. Don’t let Yu’er notice us.” “Alright,” Bingtong agreed at once. He pulled her gently with him, and the two quickly slipped into the shadow of another nearby stall. Once Yu’er had gone, Tang Wan turned to the white dolphin demon who had accompanied them and said quietly, “Xiao Bai, take this hairpin and give it to that girl. Then invite her to go out and see how she responds.” The white dolphin looked slightly confused but nodded obediently. “Yes, Madam.” Taking the hairpin Tang Wa...

Chapter 1192: The River God’s Bride 27

When Tang Wan opened her eyes again, a wave of lively noise immediately flooded her ears. “Come take a look! Finest fox fur!” “Don’t miss out! Our shop has long trousers worn by emperors and foot bindings used by queens!” “Boss, can you make it cheaper? This is too expensive!” “No bargaining! If you can’t afford it, don’t touch!” Tang Wan blinked, momentarily dazed. For a brief second, she almost thought she had arrived at some kind of bustling marketplace. But when her vision cleared, the scene before her left her completely captivated. A wide street stretched out ahead, filled with all kinds of demons in countless strange and varied forms, moving about leisurely. On both sides of the road hung rows upon rows of lanterns, their soft glow weaving together into a hazy, dreamlike illumination. The light wasn’t dazzling, but under the dim night sky, it created an atmosphere that felt both mysterious and enchanting, as if she had stepped into a world straight out of fantasy. “My lady, are ...

Chapter 1191: The River God’s Bride 26

Although Bingtong only responded lightly, his heart was already filled with quiet delight. To him, Tang Wan’s actions meant trust—meant that being by his side made her feel safe and at ease. That alone was enough to make him feel an indescribable happiness. “My lady, it’s getting late,” Bingtong said after a moment, his tone gentle. “Let’s go back first. The Demon Market will open tonight. If you still want to go, I can take you there.” Tang Wan looked at him in surprise. “But didn’t you say humans can’t enter the Demon Market?” Bingtong coughed lightly, as if trying to cover his earlier words. “Humans can’t… normally. But I am the River God of this region. As long as you stay by my side and I cover you with my aura, it can temporarily conceal your human presence.” Hearing this, Tang Wan’s face lit up instantly, her eyes curving with delight. “Really? Tongtong, you’re so good to me. I like you so much!” Seeing her happiness, Bingtong couldn’t help but smile faintly. “As long as it’s so...

Chapter 1190: The River God’s Bride 25

In theory, everything between the male and female leads should unfold smoothly. But Tang Wan knew very well that reality was rarely so simple. Without shared hardship to temper a relationship, even the strongest beginnings could falter over time. Though she was familiar with the original course of events, she could not guarantee that Feng Lun’s feelings would never change. With the conch in Yuexiang’s possession, even if she were to marry far away someday, she would still have a way to seek help should trouble arise. Yuexiang stared at the conch in her hands, her eyes gradually reddening. In the next moment, tears welled up and spilled over as she clutched Tang Wan’s hand tightly. “Wanwan… you’re too good to me!” she choked out. She had never imagined that Tang Wan would think so far ahead for her sake. Seeing her moved to tears, Tang Wan gently patted her hand, her tone soft but steady. “Why are you crying? Haven’t you always been good to me as well? Now that I have Tongtong to protec...

Chapter 1189: The River God’s Bride 24

Hearing Tang Wan’s words, a trace of hesitation appeared on Yuexiang’s face, her fingers unconsciously tightening as she struggled inwardly. “Wanwan… am I really… good enough?” she asked softly. “Lord Feng said he wants me to marry him, but… I haven’t thought it through yet…” Seeing her uncertainty, Tang Wan reached out and held her hand firmly, her voice steady and reassuring. “Of course you are. As long as you and Lord Feng are happy, that’s all that matters. And in the future, with him by your side, no one will dare bully you again. But you must remember this—if someone wrongs you, you can’t keep everything bottled up inside. You have to tell him. You’re too kind, too willing to endure things quietly.” Her words carried both warmth and firmness, and slowly, Yuexiang’s wavering confidence began to steady. After a moment of silence, she nodded. “Mm… I’ll think about it.” Then, as if something suddenly came to mind, Yuexiang looked at her curiously. “By the way… how is Master He treati...

Chapter 1188: The River God’s Bride 23

Of course, Tang Wan had no intention of running away. Even so, she deliberately put on a cautious act, glancing left and right as she walked, as though afraid of being discovered. From a distance, Bingtong watched her every move, his small frog form hidden among the shadows, his eyes filled with confusion. If she truly planned to escape, why would she behave so hesitantly instead of leaving immediately? After wandering through the village for a while, Tang Wan finally stopped in front of Yuexiang’s house. She cast another careful look around to ensure no one from the Tang family was nearby, then stepped forward and knocked gently on the door. Inside, Yuexiang was sitting absentmindedly, her chin propped on her hand, a faint smile lingering on her lips. Her expression was that of a young girl lost in her thoughts, her cheeks flushed with an unmistakable hint of shyness. She did not hear the knocking at first, and it was only after several persistent taps that she suddenly snapped out of...

Chapter 1187: The River God’s Bride 22

“If they take me away, then I’ll run back to find you no matter what,” Tang Wan said softly, her fingers tightening around Bingtong’s hands as she looked at him with unwavering sincerity. “Really?” Bingtong asked, a trace of doubt still lingering in his voice. “Really,” Tang Wan replied without hesitation. “I swear it. I only want to marry you and be your bride, Tongtong.” Her certainty caused something in Bingtong’s chest to stir. He clenched his fists unconsciously, his thoughts churning. After a moment of silence, he finally nodded. “Alright… then I’ll believe you this time.” Even if she left, the contract between them would allow him to find her no matter where she went. But if she truly chose to run… then perhaps he would never trust her again. For now, he could only hope she would not disappoint him. Seeing him agree, Tang Wan smiled faintly, her expression softening. “Don’t worry, I would never deceive you,” she said gently. “Tongtong, you look so good—where else in this world c...
