Yao Wen Yuan joyfully said, "You look really well. Could it be that your health has greatly improved? If our young master knew about your recovery and waking up, he would be overjoyed..."

As soon as he spoke, Ning Xiaoxian immediately felt an invisible and intense killing aura behind her. She quickly coughed lightly and said casually, "You all should leave." She placed her slender hand behind her and gently held Changtian’s palm.

His hand was very cold.

Yao Wen Yuan was momentarily stunned by her interruption, then realized and saluted again, saying, "We take our leave." With a slight wave, dozens of people re-hidden in the dark, quickly disappearing.

He lost the demon, yet he took the news of Ning Xiaoxian’s recovery back to the young master, somewhat making up for it. Before leaving, he took one last look, the two figures by the river under the moonlight seemed to overlap, indistinguishable from each other. The legend that Shaking Heaven God deeply loved Ning Xiaoxian seemed not to be a lie, as he never kept a distance of more than a foot from her.

As soon as they vanished, Changtian reversed his grip on her hand, turning to face the River Demon. He used quite a bit of force, Ning Xiaoxian felt as if caught in a tiger’s jaws; evidently, he was indignant. Wisely, she didn’t provoke him at this moment and obediently let him hold her.

With a slight exertion, the slender hand in Changtian’s palm became soft, like cotton, delicate without bones. The sensation was so good that he wanted to apply more pressure yet feared hurting her.

He truly wanted to hold her tighter.

He lowered his gaze, temporarily dismissing these thoughts, then pointed at Ning Xiaoxian to the River Monster and said, "You should meet her first."

The River Monster’s gaze immediately fell on her. He was perceptive, Changtian standing close indicated this woman held a unique status in the Divine Monarch’s mind; thus, he quickly glanced twice and shifted his gaze, not daring to look more. "Who is this?"

Changtian raised an eyebrow, "You don’t know?"

River Monster’s voice sounded surprised, "How...? I have never seen this... lady." He hesitated, unsure how to phrase it.

Changtian’s lips thinned, "This evening, she was at your Water God Temple, playing around. The talisman with water patterns fell, landing right at her feet."

"Talisman with water patterns?" River Monster’s voice sounded stranger; after a long time, he realized, "Oh, you mean Water God’s Talisman!"

"..." Ning Xiaoxian glared at him forcefully. This guy could utterly forget about tossing the talisman to lead a bride, it was truly exasperating. However, this also confirmed that matters of utmost importance to mortals may just be trivial sesame green bean concerns to an "Immortal."

Now, it was River Monster’s turn to cautiously scrutinize her. He hadn’t misjudged, the Divine Monarch had always tightly grasped her small hand. Such blatant possessiveness, such intense romantic tension, if he lacked the insight, he wouldn’t survive these long years. So he quickly patted his head, saying, "Truly unforgivable, that was a trinket left by the previous Water God. Ever since I took over, I haven’t dealt with such trifles; who knew today it would actually shake out a Water God’s Talisman."

Previous? She blinked.

"In that holder, there are one hundred eighty-eight talismans, yet this lady managed to draw the Water God’s Talisman all at once, it’s really..." He awkwardly said, "That Water God’s Talisman custom was left by the previous Water God, who was a Lumang Spirit. I never intended to continue that habit to marry a bride. Since this lady is the adult’s Daoist companion, I apologize first!" Saying this, he respectfully bowed while standing on the water surface.

She always had the temperament of favoring softness over hardness; seeing the Water God apologize, and noticing Changtian’s lack of other reactions, evidently with reconciliation in mind, she returned the bow and smiled, "I am naturally unbothered, but the mortals chased me all the way, intending to bind me tightly."

The River Monster hurriedly said, "I shall dream to the temple priest shortly, instructing him never to act this way again." Saying this, he eagerly looked at Changtian.

Changtian snorted lightly, "I’ll pardon you this time. You previously suffered serious injuries; have they not yet healed?" He previously fought this guy, already sensing exhaustion on the opponent’s side, making the battle uninspiring.

River Monster joyfully said, "The Divine Monarch is wise, Chi Ya admires deeply." The new master saying thus indicated he might offer treatment for its injuries, which were somewhat strange, but if Shaking Heaven God was willing to act, its chance of recovery would increase drastically.
