The Empress Dowager forced the King's Fire Spirit Pearl into her body.
"A Yin, Mother has found a new place for you. It's not like our Sea Spirit Heaven. It will be hot, and it will be cold. You cannot absorb this Fire Spirit Pearl, but it will keep you healthy."
"The people there are also different. They have no spiritual power. If you go there, you might be seen as an anomaly, but do not be afraid. Mother has set up a Spirit Locking Array there. Your fate is tied to that place. If you do not live well, neither will they."
"As long as you grow up safely and can control your spiritual power, you will become a god there, and no one will dare to bully you again. A Yin, just grow up safely."
"Mother will send you away."
With her last bit of strength, she tore open a rift in space.
"A Yin! Go!" Kuai Shu Ge
She was pushed out of Sea Spirit Heaven, extending her arms in panic and helplessness, wanting to embrace her mother again.
She saw another figure rush out, the eldest daughter of the Ma clan. Then, rubble flew, Sea Spirit Heaven began to shake, and her mother was buried in dust.
The rift gradually closed, and her body fell, fell...
Until she landed in this small mountain village.
Initially, the villagers were kind to her, giving her clothes and speaking to her. Although she couldn't understand, they began to drive her away once her eyes turned red.
This must be what Mother meant, being treated as an anomaly.
So, where should she go?
She walked and walked, her small feet becoming bruised. She was almost captured and had her eyes gouged out by someone who thought she was a monster. Fortunately, she bit the person's hand and escaped.
It was too terrifying. The people here were all so wicked.
Later, she was so hungry that she could no longer walk and fainted by the roadside. She was then rescued by someone.
That person was her adoptive father, Fu Tu Gao Li.
At first, she was very scared, but there was a little brother in his family, who looked a bit older than her. She was less afraid and stayed.
Fu Tu Gao Li and the little brother, Fu Tu Luo Xuan, taught her to speak and gave her the name Fu Tu Nian.
Later, she learned that her adoptive father had retired from the battlefield, and Luo Xuan was not his biological son, but an orphan he had found on the battlefield who had lost his parents.
He must have been a kind person.
She stayed in this home.
But she still didn't dare to relax her guard.
That time, in her haste, her eyes turned red again. She saw the astonished eyes of Fu Tu Gao Li and Luo Xuan.
She was terrified and turned to flee, but Fu Tu Gao Li caught her.
"Don't be afraid, child, don't be afraid. You're just sick, and you'll get better."
She wasn't sick, but him saying that seemed better than being treated as an anomaly.
After this, the father and son treated her even better and moved their home to the foot of the mountain.
During the day, her adoptive father hunted in the mountains, and Luo Xuan took her to play. Sometimes he took her to the market. Once, her eyes accidentally turned red, and a child saw it, which scared him into crying.
The always sensible Luo Xuan beat up that child and threatened him not to speak of it.
It was then that she truly felt safe to stay and began to call them Father and Brother.
She called them that for many years.
She was sixteen years old, the most beautiful girl in the village. She could control her eyes now and they wouldn't turn red easily.
Father thought it was the medicine he gave her that cured her red eyes, but she had actually poured all the medicine away.
Brother was as good to her as ever. Which girl in the village didn't work?
Only she didn't. Father and Brother wouldn't let her. She just sewed clothes and fed chickens at home.
The young men in the village liked her, but none dared to marry her because they knew they couldn't afford her.
She was the treasure of the Fu Tu family and was destined to marry Luo Xuan. Everyone knew this tacitly.
She didn't mind; she would just listen to Father.
Brother was capable and skilled. He worked as a guard in the town and was highly regarded by his employer. Every time he returned from town, he would buy her delicious food.
Many girls in the village also liked Brother. Among them was one named Yu Zi, who was quite bold and dared to block Brother on the road.
One time, she saw Yu Zi pull Brother into a cornfield.
She was very angry.
Everyone said she would be Brother's wife. If he was with someone else, then she didn't want him anymore.
Thinking that Brother would be home soon, she didn't want to see him and ran into the mountains.
It was during that trip into the mountains that she met her Great Yao Divine Lord.
She was the princess of Sea Spirit Heaven. After she came of age, her King and Queen would choose a Great Yao Divine Lord for her.
But Sea Spirit Heaven was gone, and she had ended up here. She hadn't thought about the Great Yao Divine Lord at all.
But she saw that man.
He was so handsome!
She thought she had returned to Sea Spirit Heaven.
He looked so much like the people of Sea Spirit Heaven, comparable to her three brothers, rivaling the sun and moon.
How could there be such a handsome person in this mortal world?
Had Mother thrown her down here in advance?
The man was injured, with an arrow in his chest. It was the first time she had used blood to save someone. Although her divine power had not yet awakened, saving someone was still very simple.
He woke up.
His eyes were also beautiful, like the water in the cold pond of Sea Spirit Heaven, clear, cold, and proud.
Looking at the bandaged wound, he spoke, "Thank you, girl."
His voice was also pleasant, like the ice crystal bells that hung at the Azure Wave Gate of Sea Spirit Heaven, tinkling incessantly.
"I want you to be my Great Yao Divine Lord!" she blurted out.
He didn't understand and furrowed his handsome brows.
"I will repay you, girl."
For the next few days, he didn't leave and stayed in a cave on the mountain.
She learned his name.
Feng Yao, courtesy name Cheng Ye.
He was the seventh son of the Emperor of Jing Kingdom.
At this moment, Fu Tu Nian did not fully understand the human concepts of hierarchy and class differences. Therefore, after learning that he was a prince, she showed no unusual reaction.
Feng Cheng Ye was also attracted by her sincerity.
There was a spy in the army, and it was inconvenient for him to show himself. He took the opportunity to recuperate in the mountains for a few more days, which also led to more interaction between them.
Until one day, Fu Tu Gao Li began to propose marriage.
Luo Xuan looked at her with gentle eyes, unable to hide his joy.
"I won't marry. I have someone I like," she refused.
Luo Xuan's face turned ugly. He first thought of the young men in the village. He worked outside during the day, and perhaps some restless people had taken advantage, but everyone knew she was his future wife. Who would be so shameless?
She must have been deceived by someone with questionable character.
"Who is it?"
"It's the Seventh Prince of our Jing Kingdom," Little Nian replied crisply.
Fu Tu Gao Li's hand trembled.
The Seventh Prince, the God of War of Jing Kingdom, he had seen him in the mountains a few days ago.
Little Nian she...
Was it true?
But their family was just commoners. Wouldn't she be a concubine if she went there?
He frowned deeply.
Luo Xuan, however, thought she had indeed been deceived and stood up to confront that man, but Fu Tu Gao Li stopped him.
"Father! Little Nian must have met a骗子!"
"No, he's not a骗子. I want to marry him and go to the capital with him."
