Jing River Young Master

"Leave?"

"Hmph!"

The Noble Young Master snorted coldly and rebuked, "None of you are leaving today! You mortal, how dare you overstep your station? Let's see how I teach you a lesson!"

"Me, a mortal?"

Verdant Green Maiden raised a brow.

Sanniang hurriedly said, "My lord, I did not tell you the truth earlier! I am not a mortal! I am Dongting Monarch's daughter!"

"He is my husband, the Jing River Young Master, the water god of this place!"

A water god?

"Oh!"

"I understand."

Verdant Green Maiden put on a look of sudden realization and nodded slightly.

"My lord, hurry and leave!"

Sanniang grew even more anxious, pushing Verdant Green Maiden to make her leave.

But Verdant Green Maiden caught Sanniang's hand and pulled her toward herself, twirling the folding fan in her right hand.

She raised the fan and used it to lift Sanniang's chin, her voice intimate.

"Sanniang, why fear him?"

"My lord?"

Sanniang froze and looked at Verdant Green Maiden in surprise.

Then her face flushed red.

Th-this...

At such close range, Verdant Green Maiden's flawless face truly left her unable to control herself.

"Y-you-you!"

Seeing Verdant Green Maiden getting handsy with Sanniang, the Jing River Young Master was beside himself with rage.

He immediately shouted at his subordinates, ordering them to seize Verdant Green Maiden. As those fellows charged toward her, Sanniang stepped directly in front of Verdant Green Maiden, her expression grave. Though she feared the Jing River Young Master, she did not flee.

"My lord! Go first."

"Sanniang will keep you safe."

"No need."

Verdant Green Maiden shook her head.

She wrapped an arm around Sanniang's shoulders and flicked open her folding fan.

Heaven and earth trembled, and sunlight shone everywhere!

"Mere water monsters."

"I do not even put them in my eyes."
