Chapter 1166: The River God’s Bride 1

Although she had ultimately died in the end, Tang Wan felt an unexpected sense of satisfaction this time. At the very least, she had lived long enough to see her son nearly reach adulthood, which was more than she could have asked for in many of her previous lives. Her son had grown into a sensible and intelligent young man, and under Tongtong’s guidance, he had already begun getting involved with the company at the age of fifteen. By now, he was more than capable of taking over the LS Group, especially with the professional team they had arranged for him in advance to support his transition. As for her daughter, though she was still young, Tang Wan had no real worries. Her son adored his younger sister deeply, and with him looking after her, there was no doubt she would be well cared for. With everything settled so neatly, Tang Wan found that in this life, she truly had no regrets.

Little Cutie, on the other hand, was in an unusually good mood after witnessing Tang Wan’s unexpected death. It was rare for things to conclude so smoothly, and she couldn’t help but feel relieved. Practically bouncing with excitement, she rubbed her hands together and asked, “Host, are you going to draw the lottery? You haven’t done a draw in a long time!”

Tang Wan considered this for a moment before replying, “How many draws do I have?”

“Eight!” Little Cutie answered eagerly, her eyes practically sparkling.

Hearing that, Tang Wan fell into brief thought, then asked, “So I’m just two short of a ten-draw?”

“Yes, Host,” Little Cutie nodded quickly, clearly anticipating what was coming next.

“If I do a ten-draw, is there any kind of discount?” Tang Wan asked again, her tone thoughtful. If there wasn’t, then there was really no difference between doing single draws or saving up.

The moment her words fell, Little Cutie suddenly froze, then burst out in surprise, her voice rising with excitement. “Ahhhh! Host, the main system has just launched a new event! It guarantees at least one SSR in a ten-draw, and for your first ten consecutive draws, you only need to spend eight lottery tickets!”

Tang Wan’s eyes lit up slightly. “So I can draw now?”

Little Cutie quickly shook her head. “Not yet, Host! The discount only applies once you’ve accumulated ten lottery tickets in total.”

“I see.” Tang Wan nodded, then smiled faintly as she thought it over. “Then I’ll wait until I’ve saved up two more. With my current luck… maybe I’ll end up with twelve SSR rewards?”

At this, Little Cutie’s eyes widened even further, and she nodded vigorously, clearly more excited than Tang Wan herself. “Yes, yes! And if you unlock a big gift pack for system upgrades, that would be even better! Then I can level up again!”

Watching her eager, almost over-the-top expression, Tang Wan couldn’t help but press her lips together in faint amusement, though she didn’t say anything to dampen her enthusiasm. Instead, she simply waved her hand and said, “Alright, hurry up and prepare. Let’s head to the next world.”

“Got it! Host, please wait a moment—it’ll be ready soon!” Little Cutie responded immediately, nodding repeatedly as she moved to make the necessary arrangements.

Once the familiar process was complete, Tang Wan was swiftly sent into the next mission world.

When she opened her eyes again, the first thing she heard was an aged yet resounding voice echoing in her ears, carrying a solemn authority that seemed to press down on the surrounding crowd. “Master He appeared in my dream and has instructed that Tang Wan, the third daughter of the Tang family, is to be taken as his wife. In return, he promises ten years of favorable weather and prosperity for our village!”

The moment these words were spoken, all eyes in the crowd turned toward Tang Wan at once. Their gazes were mixed—some filled with envy, others with pity, and still others with unmistakable relief, as though a burden had just been lifted from their own shoulders.

Before Tang Wan could fully process the situation, the village elder—his voice steady despite the weight of his declaration—turned to face the Tang family. Under Tang mother’s stunned and frozen expression, he said, “Tang family, to be chosen by Master He is a blessing bestowed upon your household. The entire village will remember your kindness.”

Hearing this, Father Tang immediately bent forward with a broad, eager smile, his tone filled with flattery as he replied, “It is our Wanwan’s great fortune to be selected by Lord He! Please rest assured, Elder—we will make sure she is dressed beautifully within three days. When the time comes, Master He will surely be pleased the moment he sees her!”

“Good, very good.” The elder nodded in satisfaction before producing a pouch of silver. “Here are twenty taels. Use it to prepare her wedding attire.”

Father Tang accepted the silver without hesitation, his face lighting up with delight as he clasped it tightly. “Yes, yes, thank you, Elder!”

Throughout the entire exchange, Tang Wan remained calm, quietly observing everything before her as she rapidly absorbed the memories of this new world. It did not take long for her to understand the situation. This was an ancient era where demons and spirits truly existed, and the “Master He” they spoke of was no mere legend but a genuine river deity.

And she, Tang Wan—the current owner of this body—had just been chosen as the River God’s bride.
