The Lucky Bride Is Pretty And Delicate

528 Black Python

Seeing that Liu Sanniang had even brought General Black with her, Su Yanyu knew what was going on.

Liu Sanniang nodded. She knew that Su Yanyu wanted to go along. Before she could speak, Su Yanyu put down the pot. “Then, I won’t disturb you anymore. General Black likes to eat this. Let him eat on the way.”

After putting down the pot, Su Yanyu left.

He still had to go back and pack quickly. Since he wanted to become a disciple of Liu Sanniang, he naturally had to learn hands-on. In the future, he would subdue demons, so it was impossible for him not to go.

He was afraid that Liu Sanniang would be annoyed, so Su Yanyu decided to follow her later.

He would try to reduce his presence and wait by the side to see if there was anything he could do to help. He wanted to make Liu Sanniang remember him one bit at a time over the course of three years. By the time three years was up, Liu Sanniang would willingly take him in…

What an awesome plan!

After Su Yanyu left, Liu Sanniang touched General Black and said, “Let’s go.”

Jiangzhou was really far from the capital. It was at least half a month’s journey.

As soon as they approached the border of Jiangzhou, they looked up and saw a gray sky. Even the air was moist with drizzle. Without the sun, it was cold. Without an umbrella, one would be wet all over in no time.

Such raindrops could even stick to people’s clothes and seep in.

When Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan arrived at Jiangzhou, they found an inn to stay in. The waiter said casually, “Are you staying? Two taels of silver for the room upstairs and one tael of silver for the room downstairs. One tael of silver for each meal. No bargaining.”

The waiter looked at Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan. “Are you staying? If not, don’t block the way.”

Liu Sanniang replied calmly. “We’ll be staying.”

The waiter led Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan upstairs. Because it had been raining for a long time, the rooms in the inn smelled musty.

It was already dark, so Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan didn’t go out and stayed in for the night.

In the middle of the night, a strange smell filled the room. Liu Sanniang opened her eyes and saw General Black rubbing his head against her palm.

Liu Sanniang realized that this seemed to be a knockout powder…

When the drug was absorbed by her, she felt weak for a moment, but it was quickly dispelled. Was this an gangster inn?

With a click, the door latch was lifted.

“These two people are very rich. I saw it earlier. That bag is bulging. It must be filled with taels. The man and woman are beautiful too. They can be sold for a good price.”

The waiter’s voice sounded malicious.

“Good job. These two people look like travelers. Now that Jiangzhou is in such a mess, no one will notice if these two travelers are gone.”

The shopkeeper smiled evilly.

The waiter nodded in agreement. “Shopkeeper, you have to share the booty with me.”

The shopkeeper nodded. “Go and light the lamp.”

General Black let out a muffled roar.

The waiter was shocked. “There’s something in this room!”

The shopkeeper was also shocked. “What is it? Light the lamp quickly.”

The waiter’s hands were trembling. “Shopkeeper, why do I feel hot air on my face…”

When he lit the lamp, what greeted his eyes was a big black head. Black eyes stared at him coldly. A huge creature stood in front of him and bared its teeth at him…

“Help, help!”

When the waiter saw how big the black thing was, his legs went limp. When he turned around, the shopkeeper had already run to the door. He was so frightened that he scrambled out.

Before he left, he heard the shopkeeper fall in front of him with a cry of pain. The shopkeeper covered his face and his mouth was bleeding.

Chu Yan walked closer. “A gangster inn.”

Liu Sanniang had already stood up. “Report it to the authorities.”

The waiter and the shopkeeper immediately cried. “Please don’t report us to the authorities. We have a family. If not for the fact that we haven’t been able to make a living recently, we wouldn’t have made this choice.”

Liu Sanniang lit the lamp and the room brightened up.

General Black stood beside her, looking like a tall and mighty ferocious beast.

The shopkeeper was a little resentful of the waiter. Why didn’t he see such a huge beast earlier??

The waiter also wanted to cry. He really did not see it. It was so big and looked like a dog, but what kind of dog could grow so big??

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan were unmoved. An inn like this would only harm people.

Chu Yan tied the two of them up and sent them to the government.

The officers took them away and locked them up.

When Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan returned to the inn, it was already dawn.

The inn was empty. Because of the serious flood, there was no one else in the inn, so Chu Yan went to the kitchen to cook.

Not long after, the meat porridge was cooked.

“Most of the things in the kitchen have already gone bad.”

Chu Yan was worried that Liu Sanniang would not be used to it. His little rabbit had to be pampered. She had never eaten anything bad.

Liu Sanniang ate the porridge and smiled. “It’s alright.”

After eating, the two of them went out on the street.

There was no drizzle today. As they walked on the street, they could hear people discussing.

“As expected, that spiritual girl is really capable. That python will definitely be subdued.”

“I hope so. If it rains again, I’m afraid everyone in Jiangzhou will drown. Sigh… As long as that spiritual girl helps us fix it, we’re even willing to build a golden body for her.”

...

“She can definitely fix it. Didn’t she say that she will perform a half-month ritual to stop the flood? She only performed the ritual for a day before it stopped raining. Didn’t the traveling monks in Jiangzhou say that the spiritual girl is a goddess?”

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan walked towards the door of the Jiangzhou magistrate’s mansion. Wei Shilai arrived before them and came out very quickly. He brought Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan into the mansion. He was now living in a small courtyard in the Jiangzhou magistrate’s mansion.

The servants came over to make tea. The tea was bland and tasteless. After a long period of rain, the tea leaves had turned damp.

Wei Shilai said, “The crown prince has set up an altar outside the city with the Seventh Princess. Everyone is saying that the Seventh Princess is a spiritual girl. She said that there is a thousand-year-old flood dragon in Jiangzhou. When it failed to transcend the tribulation, it flew into a rage and drowned Jiangzhou to vent its anger.”

Wei Shilai told her everything he knew in detail.

When Xia Qiluo was performing the ritual, the sky was covered in dark clouds. In the clouds, there seemed to be a black python flying. Xia Qiluo held a golden pen and drew a talisman in the air. When the talisman landed on the black python, it disappeared.

Wei Shilai saw it with his own eyes, and it was indeed effective. Today, it did not rain in Jiangzhou.

After saying that, Wei Shilai looked at Liu Sanniang and added. “The ritual will be held in the morning. Miss Liu, you can go tomorrow morning and see if she’s doing the right thing.”
