Ti flies, more than a year has passed, and it happens to be the Water God Festival, coinciding with the sixteenth birthday of the City Lord’s beloved daughter, Luo Qixue. The entire Shui City is adorned with lanterns and decorations, imrsed in a festive and joyous atmosphere.
At night, Luo Qixue secretly escaped from her birthday banquet.
She went alone to the canal.
On the canal, flower lanterns floated by.
Couples of lovers, paired together, released the flower lanterns.
Luo Qixue gazed at the flower lanterns on the canal, searching by the riverbank for the figure she had been longing for over the past year.
But ti and again, until late at night, all the people by the canal had already dispersed, yet she still did not see Mo Ze.
In Luo Qixue’s heart, emotions were mixed.
Mo Ze had been gone for more than a year, and now he was already seventeen years old.
He should have regained control of the rfolk Tribe and successfully transford into human form, right?
Or perhaps, he encountered so misfortune; otherwise, how could he have not appeared at all.
"Mo Ze... Mo Ze."
Luo Qixue stared at the flower lanterns drifting away on the canal, in a daze.
"Is this your flower lantern?"
From behind, a deep, magnetic voice sounded. Luo Qixue was startled and turned around, only to see a young and handso man standing under the dim lights.
He smiled, looking at her, with deep eyes that glead bluish-black in the light.
When she saw those eyes, Luo Qixue couldn’t help but grab the man’s hand and blurted out.
"Mo Ze, is it you, have you returned?"
The man paused slightly, his gaze moving from Luo Qixue’s pretty face to her costly attire, and he grinned, nodding.
"Yes, it’s , I’ve returned."
Upon witnessing this scene, Luo Qianche couldn’t help covering her mouth.
How could it be? That man was actually the young Luo Qian.
Luo Qian had impersonated Mo Ze.
What followed was all so logical, not long after, Luo Qian married Luo Qixue and beca the City Lord’s Mansion son-in-law. Soon, Luo Qixue beca pregnant.
Due to her pregnancy, Luo Qixue gradually handed over so of the city matters to Luo Qian.
But considering that Luo Qian did not have the Water God Bloodline, he constantly faced inconveniences in summoning the Water Clan. Unable to resist Luo Qian’s repeated persuasion, Luo Qixue finally transferred so of her Water God Bloodline to Luo Qian using a thod of inheritance.
Not long after receiving the Water God inheritance, coincidentally, the Old City Lord fell ill, and water beasts caused chaos in the Han River area.
As the Young City Lord, Luo Qixue, due to her pregnancy, could not go out to suppress the chaos.
Luo Qian volunteered to head to the Han River Basin.
After Luo Qian left, Luo Qixue was worried that Luo Qian could not handle the water beasts alone, so she secretly went to Han River as well.
At that ti, Luo Qixue was over seven months pregnant, exhausted from her journey, intending to surprise her husband.
Little did she know, upon arriving at Han River, she unexpectedly saw Luo Qian carousing with several local mayors on a painted boat.
Luo Qian had his arms around a few charming won, occasionally uttering so vulgar jokes.
The won teased and laughed.
"It’s said that Sir and the Young City Lord have a deep relationship; unexpectedly, you’re also a master at the pleasure house."
Luo Qian teased in reply.
"What deep relationship? I’m just tired of that woman, so I had the mayors fabricate the pretense of water beasts. You all don’t know, the Young City Lord you respect, not only is she boring in bed, but she’s also quite dumb. Until now, she still thinks I’m her childhood friend Mo Ze. I just happened to et her then, and she mistook for Mo Ze."
Upon hearing this, Luo Qixue felt her mind explode, and she slamd open the cabin door.
He’s not Mo Ze; she mistook soone?
Inside, everyone panicked upon seeing Luo Qixue.
Luo Qian hurriedly got up, hypocritically approaching to attempt an explanation.
In the chaos, Luo Qixue felt severe abdominal pain.
The boat was in a turmoil, with the midwife’s voice echoing in her ears.
"Mo Ze... Mo Ze."
Luo Qixue felt a warm stream continuously flowing from beneath her; at that mont, she had only one thought in her mind: never let Luo Qian off.
At the mont the child cried out and was born.
Luo Qian held the child, grasping Luo Qixue’s hand.
"Qixue, look, this is our child. It was all my fault before; I shouldn’t have kept it from you. Don’t worry, I will treat you well from now on."
Looking at the innocent child and then at Luo Qian’s ugly face, Luo Qixue let out a tragic laugh.
"You beast, get out!"
Luo Qian’s expression changed suddenly.
He had impersonated Mo Ze, living in fear for over a year.
He had never loved Luo Qixue.
Not only did he not love her, but he hated Luo Qixue deeply. This woman, even on the night they were newlywed, when he pressed her beneath him, she was calling out Mo Ze’s na.
For Luo Qian, for over a year, he had been wearing a green hat.
"Bitch, all you ever talk about is Mo Ze. That wild man abandoned you long ago. You give no way out, so why should I care for marital sentints with you? You should die."
Luo Qian’s hand squeezed Luo Qixue’s throat; she struggled, but her body, weakened from childbirth, could not withstand the beast Luo Qian’s tornt.
Underneath Luo Qixue, the wound tore open, bleeding heavily like an avalanche until she bled to death, losing consciousness.
The heartless Luo Qian declared to the public that Luo Qixue died of dystocia and secretly tied her corpse to stones, sinking it into the Moli Sea.
Yet, a year after Luo Qixue’s death, by the next Water God Festival, the rfolk King who had regained control over the rfolk Clan returned to Shui City.
The rfolk King Mo Ze had successfully transford and returned full of joy to find his love.
But what awaited him was the news of Luo Qixue’s death, and Luo Qian, who had inherited the Shui City Lord’s title, holding a year-old Luo Qianche in his arms.
Deceptive Luo Qian, upon seeing the rfolk King as a demigod, harbored malicious thoughts and fabricated a lie about Luo Qixue entrusting Shui City and Luo Qianche to the rfolk King before her death.
The rfolk King, touched by affection for an old friend, accepted Luo Qian’s pact and beca the guardian demigod beast of Shui City.
At that ti, everyone, including Luo Qian, believed Luo Qixue was already dead.
But unexpectedly, there seed to be destiny at work.
Full of regret and hatred, Luo Qixue’s soul did not dissipate due to her wrongful death; her corpse happened to rest upon a cluster of deep sea water grass.
Year after year, day after day, the water grass completely absorbed Luo Qixue’s body, slowly awakening her soul. Once she gained consciousness, Luo Qixue was filled with hatred for Luo Qian, her resentnt eventually transford into a massive amount of Resentful Qi.
The Resentful Qi spread continuously, extending from the sea to the inland.
This eventually led to the Water Ghost uprising in Yuliao Town.
