The River Gods Bridegroom

I accepted the ring, but I planned to make a final decision only after Xie Yu’s grandfather fully recovered.

When Xie Yu drove me back in the early hours of the morning,

we heard a commotion inside the house the moment we stepped through the door.

Xie Yu’s grandfather was in critical condition.

Although Xie Yu usually acted as if he had seen through life and death, I could tell he was incredibly anxious.

Xie Yu patted my head. “Go back to your room and wait for me. I’m taking Grandpa to the hospital.”

He looked back with every step, then suddenly turned around, strode back, and kissed me fiercely.

“Ze Quan, you must wait for me to come back.

“If I come back and can’t find you, I will hate you.”

He repeated those two sentences over and over.

Xie Yu was rarely like this, looking completely lost and helpless.

I knew why he said that. He was afraid I would change my mind and run off to ascend to a High God.

After the ambulance left, I saw that patch of black mist follow them like a persistent ghost.

It was like an impatient malevolent ghost about to devour the prey it had been eyeing for so long.

Oh no, this ghost is about to make its move.

I couldn’t just sit idle either.

I left a note for Xie Yu: “Wait for me.”

Embarrassingly enough, even though Xie Yu had spent so much time trying to teach me how to use a smartphone, I never got the hang of it. The only thing I learned was how to play Match-3 games.

So, I rushed off to find Rong Si.
