What Water God?
What bride sacrifice grants protection?
It's all just a series of rumors and coincidental events leading to a worship of a wild deity.
Standing by the river, feeling the cold wind, Wen Ran watched the villagers release river lanterns and return to their homes, holding a grudge in her heart.
"I've seen that idol, probably just the first person who fell into the water saw some aquatic plants or water snakes and had an illusion of an idol. The river pearls, rain after drought... all just coincidences. There's no spiritual energy here, how could there be an immortal!"
Seeing Wen Ran angry, Shen Wu whispered, "Ranran, don't be mad, I'll kill them, alright?"
Wen Ran, helpless, held her forehead, "Remember the mountain you cut half down? It restored itself soon after. I suspect, even if everyone here were dead, they'd come back to life shortly after."
Shen Wu tilted his head, "Then I'll kill again until Ranran's anger is appeased."
