Global Apocalypse: The True Young Master Awakens and Tames the Villain

The blood-stained girl’s mouth was bleeding, and there were two blood holes on her arms.

She frowned in pain, but she still hugged the red wedding robe tightly, as if it was more precious than her life.

The blood dyed the wedding robe red, making it even more translucent and delicate.

Liu Jin’an walked up to her: “Are you still trying to stop us, Miss Chang? Or should I call you, sea monster girl?”

Chang Siqin shook her head and laughed: “The name Sea Monster Girl wasn’t very pleasant. Okay, okay, I admit defeat, you win.”

She looked at Liu Jin’an, her beautiful eyes full of pleading: “Before you got the gift from Jialinhe, could you satisfy me with one request?”

“How dare you make demands even though your general was defeated?” Duan Haiping blocked Liu Jin’an behind him with a cold gaze.

Chang Siqin was stunned and crawled back twice.

Liu Jin’an patted Xiao Duan on the shoulder: “Don’t be so fierce, be gentler to girls.”

He ignored Duan Haiping’s dissatisfied look and helped Chang Siqin sit down on the wooden box: “Go ahead.”

“Let me tell you a story.” Chang Siqin sighed softly, her eyes gradually drifting away.

“A long time ago, on the banks of the Jialin River, there was a small village called Heqi Village.”

“People in the village believed in the river deity for generations. Every twelve years, a woman was chosen to be the River Deity’s wife.”

“On the surface, it said she was a wife to the River Deity, but in fact, she was just a sacrifice to the River Deity.”

The girl’s tone was very calm, as if she was just telling someone else’s life, but she didn’t know that every pause and every fluctuation of her emotions betrayed her.

It turned out that Chang Siqin’s original name was Wang Yunmei. Wang Gui was her father, and Wang Yunshan was her sister.

Her mother was the previous priestess in the village, but she was killed by the husband of the chosen River Deity’s wife because she identified the woman.

The husband of the chosen woman also died for this, leaving behind an orphan girl who was only ten years old.

The orphan girl didn’t know what means she used to become the new priestess’ favourite disciple.

And asked the priestess to designate the next river wife as Wang Yunmei.

“When would the injustice be repaid?” When she learned that she became a river wife, Wang Yunmei calmly accepted her fate.

Chang Siqin’s eyes shed tears of blood: “But she never expected that her humiliation and seeking for perfection would lead to an extremely miserable end.”

Wang Yunmei turned eighteen that year, and it was only the second year since she was designated as the River Deity’s wife.

The current priestess used drought as an excuse to confuse the whole village and force her into a coffin.

She wore the wedding robe that her mother sewed for her before she died. Amid the cries of her father and sister, she was sent into the coffin and drifted away.

The river water filled her mouth and flooded her eyes.

She slapped the coffin lid desperately but forgot it was an airtight human sacrifice coffin with forty-nine wooden screws!

How could she, a weak woman, have the strength to break free?

The endless darkness swallowed her up, and she gave up her struggle in despair, heading toward death bit by bit.

It would have been fine if it ended there, but the priestess wanted to kill her whole family and found a coffin exactly like hers from nowhere.

She said the coffin was returned from Yangtze River, but no one knew the truth. She even said the River Deity’s wife missed her loved ones.

It was time to send Wang Gui and Wang Yunshan into the river together to reunite with the River Deity’s wife.

Unfortunately, her sister was only nine years old, and she was put into a human sacrifice coffin and lost her life.

Hu Jianye already burst into tears after hearing this: “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? If you told me earlier, what else would we fight for? If you wanted me to help you, I would have done it!”

Wang Yunmei shook her head and said with a wry smile: “You have your rules, and we also have ours.”

Pressing down on the sympathy in his heart, Liu Jin’an asked her: “What do you want us to do for you?”

Wang Yunmei looked at the cave entrance behind her: “After my father and Shanshan were killed, I discovered that I had some unusual abilities, such as being able to attach to other creatures and live symbiotically with them.”

“Among many sea creatures, I chose a giant squid. I used it to retrieve the coffins of my father and Shanshan, and at the same time, I created a shipwreck while the priestess and the orphan girl were out at sea.”

“I avenged my family, but I also lost the qualification for reincarnation because of the killing.”

“I originally wanted to free my father and Shanshan, but I didn’t expect that the soul-breaking nails embedded in the coffin were the treasures passed down from the priestess’ family.”

“If I want to open the coffin and send their souls into reincarnation, someone must go through a test.”

Hearing this, Hu Jianye couldn’t close his mouth.

His eyes were full of surprise: “Is there really a soul after death? Does reincarnation really exist?”

Liu Jin’an didn’t know how to answer his question.

Duan Haiping sneered: “Even the end of the world has appeared, what else can’t exist? It might not have existed before, but now we can’t say for sure.”

After connecting Wang Yunmei’s stories together, Liu Jin’an finally realized: “It turns out that this is the real test of Jialinhe’s gift.”

Wang Yunmei nodded slightly: “You are indeed very smart. Yes, everything above is my father and I selecting candidates to participate in the test.”

“He was a kind-hearted person. He didn’t like fighting and killing, and he didn’t want anyone to sacrifice in vain to save his and my little sister’s trapped souls.”

“I originally thought that no one would pass the screening for a long time, but I didn’t expect that just after the end of the world, we found the person we wanted.”

Hu Jianye scratched his head in embarrassment: “I can’t help it, I’m just so good.”

Wang Yunmei looked at him funny: “Well, Mr. Hu, you may have misunderstood, I am referring to Liu Jin’an.”

“Huh?” Disappointment was visible to the naked eye.

In order not to hurt Hu Jianye’s heart, Wang Yunmei also praised him: “Your powers are really powerful. You caught me off guard on the first day.”

“In order to deal with you, I asked my father to add some powder developed with my special ability to the food to induce you to hallucinate and think that my little sister was me.”

She explained patiently: “Jianye, you have a simple personality and lack experience. This test is not suitable for you.”

“You have to know how dangerous this test is. Once you fall into it, you will never wake up.”

“Otherwise, my father and I wouldn’t have hesitated for so long. It wasn’t until you knocked on the door that we decided to let you accept the test.”

Disappointment quickly turned into worry. When Hu Jianye heard that this test was actually life-threatening, he subconsciously wanted to persuade Liu Jin’an not to go.

“I’m willing to be tested.”

Liu Jin’an’s eyes were firmer than ever.

Hu Jianye’s words were stuck in his throat.

“Old Hu,” Liu Jin’an put his hand on Hu Jianye’s shoulder, “don’t worry, I will definitely come back safely. Don’t forget, we still have martial soul fusion skills!”

Hu Jianye nodded heavily: “That’s right, you kid, don’t let my powers be weakened!”

Liu Jin’an waved his hand and followed Wang Yunmei into the cave entrance without looking back.
