Rebirth Of The General's Granddaughter Chapter 191

[PK = “Player Kill” in games, i.e. fighting or battling]

“What did you say?” Shangguan LingRan was full of anger. He couldn't restrain himself anymore. He jumped up eight feet high. His palm flipped and fire emerged. The fire soon gathered itself into a ball and was thrown towards Goddess Mari.

Shangguan LingRan's actions were as fast as lightning and Goddess Mari wasn't hesitant either.

She gently pushed and a beautiful sea blue ice ball emitting coldness flew towards Shangguan LingRan's fireball and shattered it.

Fire sparked and burned several places in the divine temple. A large fire soon burned.

Goddess Mari was really angry now! The divine temple had existed for so many years and no one had dared to come provoke her. Now, someone dared to burn the divine temple right under her eyes. If this was spread out, how was she going to establish herself in the God Realm?

She waved her hands and countless spiritual Qi turned into sharp swords and flew towards Shangguan LingRan.

Second martial brother quickly pushed Shangguan LingRan away. He waved and a deep purple fireball bigger than Shangguan LingRan's fireball flew over to the ice swords.

Goddess Mari didn't dare to underestimate them anymore. One of the two people here today was forty or fifty years old and the other was only eighteen or so. She couldn't tell their level of cultivation. She didn't expect that they could generate real fire and even block her ice soul water.

“Catch them!” Goddess Mari was anxious. She gave a command as she waved her hands. Countless flower petals dropped down from the sky over the two males.

The two knew that these colorful flowers weren't real flowers. Sure enough, they turned into hail the size of apples and smashed down at their heads.

Second martial brother and Shangguan LingRan didn't dare to be careless. They knew that they had met the biggest enemy of their lives. They lifted their arms and sprayed out two huge fires and turned all the hail into mist.

Goddess Mari's eyes turned dark blue. She shouted, “Get out of my way.”

She clasped her hands together and her body turned. In an instant, raging seawater poured from the sky, as if it wanted to engulf Shangguan LingRan and second martial brother.

Second martial brother saw that the situation was bad and quickly pulled Shangguan LingRan behind him. “Little martial brother, we will combine forces to withstand the seawater.”

Shangguan LingRan immediately leaned against his second martial brother's back and the two people rose into midair.

Second martial brother intertwined his fingers and a fire spread out in an instant. It formed a dark red glass dome and covered them.

The seawater roared and pounded against the glass. Water and fire met. It was like lava flowing into the sea and crackled.

The two people inside the glass dome were fine, but some disciples of lower spiritual attainment in the divine temple were unlucky. Some were scalded by the boiling water and some were swept away by the sea……

Goddess Mari completely did not expect that the seawater would not flow according to her intentions when it hit the glass dome, but instead hurt her people.

She anxiously generated her spiritual power, but she saw a young girl hurriedly ran over to block in front of her. “Great-grandmother, have mercy! Do you really want both sides to suffer?”

Goddess Mari saw that Zi You had actually escaped from Blackwater Pool. She was first startled, but then she was even angrier. “They damaged my divine temple. I can't spare them. And this is all your fault!”

“Okay. I'm at your disposal.” Zi You spoke decisively. “Just let them go!”

Zi You pointed to Shangguan LingRan and his second martial brother. For them, she, who had never succumbed to Goddess Mari, knelt down in front of her.

“YouYou!” Her clothing was dirty. She was covered in dirt and mud. Her original complexion and appearance couldn't be seen, but Shangguan LingRan still recognized her from her bright and sparkling large purple eyes.

He quickly flew over to her and grabbed her dark and muddy hands without any disdain.

Shangguan LingRan was obsessed with cleanliness. If he didn't deeply love Zi You, how could he not disdain her now?

Two pairs of hands clenched together. They gazed at each other. They couldn't see anyone or anything else, as if there were only the two of them on earth.

This scene made even Goddess Mari, whose heart was like water, feel a little touched.

She didn't ask how Zi You escaped from Blackwater Pool, but instead said angrily, “They destroyed the divine temple, so they must be punished. I will execute these two heathens!”

“If you want to execute them, then kill me first.” Zi You looked at Goddess Mari without fear. “Aren't you responsible for the destruction of the divine temple too? If you had let me go back to Great Yan, why would they come here?”

“Yes.” Zi You's grandmother also knelt down at Goddess Mari's feet. “Spare them, mother. Their love is more solid than gold. Aren't you touched?”

Shangguan LingRan knew that the matters today won't be solved so easily. But he would rather die than have YouYou pay with her life.

Shangguan LingRan was very proud. If it wasn't for his imperial grandmother, he would rarely kneel in front of Xuanwu Emperor. And he was even more rebellious in front of his own father.

But at this moment, he knelt in front of Goddess Mari for Zi You. “You can dispose of me as you wish. But you are not allowed to hurt YouYou. Otherwise, I will sacrifice my life just to destroy your divine temple!”

“You would rather die for her?” Goddess Mari looked in disbelief at this young man who was so handsome that he was almost an evildoer.

“I'm willing to give up everything for YouYou!” Shangguan LingRan didn't hesitate and firmly replied. “It's no better than death without YouYou. If you don't let her come back to Great Yan, it would be better to kill me.”

“No, great-grandmother. If he dies, I won't live alone!” Zi You's tears flowed down. She held Shangguan LingRan's hand tightly and said to Goddess Mari, “You are a worshipped goddess in vain. You claim that your mission is to save the whole world. Then, aren't me and him part of the world?”

“Grandmother, you already broke your vow because of him.” Dier cried out excitedly, “Didn't you say that if there is a man willing to give up his life for a woman, you will fulfill one of his wishes?”

Yes. Goddess Mari had indeed made such a vow. That was because she had been betrayed by the man whom she loved before she became a goddess.

She had been a wealthy family's xiaojie. Despite her family's objections, she had fallen in love with a commoner. When she was going to marry him, her father had captured that man and said to him, “If you leave my daughter, I will give you money. But if you insist on being with my daughter, I will kill you.”

That man had betrayed her as soon as he heard that. “I want gold. I didn't want her to leave her wealthy family to marry me. If she really does that, I won't have any money to feed her.”

Under Goddess Mari's father's mocking gaze and the man's ruthless gaze, she angrily left the mundane world behind and turned to Buddhism. She later became the Goddess of Rain and Flowers.

But when she became a goddess, her dislike of men was so negative that she had vowed, “If there is a man willing to give up his life for the woman he loves, I will fulfill his wish.”

“Fine.” Goddess Mari kept her word of course. So she threw a dagger at Shangguan LingRan. She coldly said, “State your wish before you die.”

“Don't!” Zi You wanted to snatch the dagger, but Shangguan LingRan was ahead of her and grabbed it first.

He looked affectionately at Zi You and said, “My wish is to live with her forever.”

Then he picked up the dagger and fiercely stabbed it at his chest……

There was no hesitation and his actions were so incredibly quick that even Goddess Mari secretly nodded in praise.

This young man was not only handsome, but smart, bold, resolute, and even loving towards You'er. If so, then she was reassured leaving her great-granddaughter to him.

Zi You was so scared by Shangguan LingRan's actions that she fainted.

Even Dier closed her eyes in sorrow. But when she opened them again, she saw Shangguan LingRan standing there unharmed. There was no blood on his chest or scars.

Goddess Mari smiled brightly and dazzlingly. She was already beautiful and noble. This smile gave a bit of warmth to her cold face and suddenly made her seem amiable.

She waved and a ray of blue light shot towards Zi You.

Zi You woke up, but her tears flowed down like rain. She pounced on Shangguan LingRan. “Don't, LingRan……”

His little woman threw herself into his arms. Shangguan LingRan was happy of course. He didn't care that she was smelly and dirty. He held her like he was holding the most precious treasure in the world and tightly hugged her in his arms.

Goddess Mari smiled again. She happily said, “You'er, you found the smartest man in the world who also cherishes you the most. Great-grandmother gives you my blessings!”

Hm?! Zi You then reacted. She saw that Shangguan LingRan was fine and cried with joy. She didn't care about being shy and hugged him again. “Shangguan LingRan, you're not dead!”

“Little fool!” Goddess Mari smiled dotingly. “Your heart was chaotic and didn't hear what he said. His wish is to live with you forever. So how can I let him die? Besides, he now has a diamond-plated body. This dagger can't kill him.”

Goddess Mari's smile then disappeared. She coldly warned Shangguan LingRan, “But please, always remember your wish. If you dare to slight my You'er, I will not spare you!”

“Yes, great-grandmother!” Shangguan LingRan respectfully kowtowed three times to Goddess Mari. His smile was devilishly charming and very handsome. The female disciples in the divine temple once again looked smitten.

Goddess Mari saw this and angrily waved her hand. “Shangguan LingRan, take your woman and scram out of here. Don't stay here and harm my disciples.”

Second martial brother laughed loudly. He went over to bow. “This Daoist Aochen pays respects to Goddess Mari. Please forgive us for offending you. We damaged the divine temple, so we should fix it for you before leaving.”

Goddess Mari looked back. Her female disciples all looked joyfully surprised. She angrily snorted and decisively refused second martial brother's offer. “No, this much damage is nothing.”

Shangguan LingRan immediately took out a bag of gold. He held it in front of her with both hands and smiled fawningly. “Great-grandmother, you have to accept this gold. It's mine and YouYou's filial piety towards you.”

Goddess Mari liked hearing these words. Her favorable impression of Shangguan LingRan instantly soared. She took the gold and flung it at Zi You's grandmother. “Give the command to entertain the guests.”

Then she pretended to look angrily at Zi You and scolded, “Ruthless yatou. You just came back and now you're leaving again. Your grandfather and uncle are your relatives, but I, your mother, and grandmother aren't? You even said that I have no love in my heart……”

“Yes, you're all my relatives.” Zi You pounced over, scaring Goddess Mari to flashing far away.

“You stink! Hurry and take a bath. It's only your little husband who doesn't disdain you!”

Few people had seen such a humanized goddess. The atmosphere instantly lightened and laughter sounded in the divine temple. If it wasn't for the charred remains, no one could tell that a life and death battle had just taken place here.

When Zi You came out again, not only was Shangguan LingRan stunned, but all the goddesses, guardians, and disciples were stunned.

Long hair like black clouds scattered over her shoulders in waves. She wore a light purple sari with embroidered roses in silver thread and inlaid with diamonds around her delicate body. A purple chain hung on her smooth forehead. Crystal clear beds hung from the middle of the chain between her eyebrows, which gave her a flirtatious air. Her exposed neck, arms, and flat belly were white and smooth, like white jade.

She slightly smiled. Her youthful and sparkling eyes glowed with pearl-like brilliance. They were as clear as a stream under ice without a trace of the mundane world. Her eyelashes were long and thick and curved upwards like a fan. She had a small nose and slender jade-like arms. Her lips glowed crystal pink in a beautiful curve. There were pale purple tassels that slowly danced from her jade-like earlobes.

Dier looked at her daughter and shed tears of excitement. If her daughter was a bud before, she had fully bloomed now. She was like a blossoming purple mandara flower: mysterious, noble, beautiful, enchanting, and exuding a seductive aroma.

Shangguan LingRan had seen beautiful women before, but he had never seen a beautiful woman like Zi You who was so beautiful that she didn't seem mortal.
