The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 40 Processing
"Life is going to be hard again."

Benboerba sighed, and then said no more. His demonic energy circulated, and a dark cloud rose from under his feet, lifting him into the air. He held Ding Lin in one hand and rode the dark cloud eastward.

The only thing left there was a snake demon that had fainted from fright at some point in time.

It was already past midnight before the snake demon woke up. He shuddered and then swam quickly to a huge rock where the water and the bank met and got stuck in the crack. The patterns on his body twisted and changed again, and soon the crack was smoothed out.

The snake demon was also completely hidden.

……

About a quarter of an hour later, the big lake that Ding Lin had swam across appeared at Benboerba's feet. He dispersed the dark clouds, and his body floated down and sank into the water.

At the bottom of the pool, four shrimp soldiers were already waiting carrying a sedan chair. They had dull looks on their faces and their eyes were sluggish. This must be the result of the combination of enlightenment and body shaping techniques.

"Go home."

Benboerba gave an order, without even turning his head, he lifted the curtain and got into the sedan chair.

……

Less than half a moment after Benboerba entered the water, colorful clouds suddenly floated in from the western sky. Above the Bibotan Lake, the clouds were parted to reveal a row of shrimp soldiers in bright armor leading the way, followed by a crab general holding a sign, and several handsome fish monsters and clam spirits accompanying them.

Under the moon and stars, five slender sea snakes with prominent heads and horns descended from the sky, pulling a phoenix chariot inlaid with pearls and carved with agate.

A beautiful lady was sitting on the phoenix sedan chair, with a graceful figure. She was dressed in a gorgeous scarlet dress with ancient and repetitive patterns, and her head was covered with pearls and jade. On her fair face, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were like autumn water, looking forward. No one knew what she was thinking.

Looking down, the most alluring thing is the red lips under the delicate and straight nose, which are hot like a burning flame, burning straight into the soul.

Her right hand was unconsciously stroking a beautiful little snake several feet long, as white as jade. The snake coiled its body around her fair wrist like a bracelet, with only its tiny head poking out from between her fingers, its eyes narrowed, as if it was enjoying its owner's caress very much.

The phoenix sedan chair never stops.

He pulled the beautiful woman into the water immediately.

……

"How come..."

In the water, Benboerba was resting with his eyes closed when he suddenly felt the sedan chair stopped. He lifted the curtain and was about to scold, but just as he opened his mouth, his voice was stuck in his throat. The expression on his face changed quickly, he became humble and flattering, then he got out of the sedan chair in a flash, stood aside, slightly bent over, and made a respectful gesture.

"Benboerba?"

A sound was heard, and then the phoenix sedan that was still moving forward slowly stopped.

The beautiful woman who caught up turned her head.

"It's a small one."

It’s hard to imagine that a fish’s face can display so many expressions.

"Princess, you are back, this is..."

Benboerba stepped forward and stopped not far in front of the carriage.

Suddenly he seemed to have just discovered something, his face full of surprise, giving it enough emotional value.

"Five dragons are driving the sedan chair. This is the ceremonial procession of the princesses of the four seas. The Dragon King of the West Sea actually used this to send you back. It seems that he likes you very much. Your marriage..."

"Ah."

The beautiful lady on the chase - Princess Halloween nodded. She leaned lazily on a soft pillow and nodded nonchalantly, but there was no joy on her face.

"The Third Prince actually liked the legitimate daughter of the Yellow River Lord, but as my father expected, the West Sea Dragon King did not choose the offspring of the Four Rivers Dragon Gods. He chose me and the third daughter of the Dongting Dragon Lord for Ao Lie, and somewhat out of consideration for our old relationship, he chose me as his principal wife and made the three daughters of the Dongting Dragon Palace his concubines."

"Oh, congratulations, princess, this is such a great thing!"

Benboerba was beaming with joy. "What's there to be happy about?"

Princess Halloween raised her eyes lazily, and stroked the little snake between her fingers, with a smile on her face.

"Isn't this what was expected?"

"Yes. Yes." Benboerba nodded repeatedly, "I am making a fuss. You are only three thousand years old, but you have already become an immortal. With such talent, plus your beauty and talent, this should be a natural thing."

"We will get married in five hundred years."

Princess Halloween changed her sitting position again.

"I've been very tired these days. I'm going back to the palace to see my father first. Tomorrow you can ask Ba Boer to come to me. I have something to tell you."

"okay!"

Benboerba was full of energy, and there was no trace of him complaining in private just now.

The chase car was about to move again.

Princess Halloween took one last look at Benboerba, and her eyes suddenly swept over Ding Lin who was in his hand.

Although it was still night, the Bibotan Lake was too deep for the moonlight to shine through. Fortunately, Princess Wansheng's phoenix sedan was adorned with countless pearls.

At this time, the night pearl flashed in the darkness, and it could be barely seen clearly.

Ding Lin's body stood straight, the light of the night pearl shone on the palm-sized fish, the scales of which were dim, giving it a broken and desolate beauty.

"slow."

Princess Halloween spoke again and stopped the phoenix sedan. She looked Ding Lin up and down carefully with a strange look.

After a long while, he suddenly smiled with satisfaction:

"It's a beautiful carp, Benboerba, you are thoughtful."

"Princess, this..."

Benboerba was stunned, words rolling on his lips, and suddenly he realized something and changed his tone.

"Princess, this carp demon killed my cousin Hei San. I was originally planning to kill him right there, but when I saw his true form, I found him quite handsome. I thought you would be back soon, and maybe I could have some fun with him, so I brought him back. It turns out that the princess really took a liking to him. It is my honor and also the blessing of this carp demon."

Benboerba said this, holding Ding Lin with both hands and making a gesture of submission.

Without Princess Wansheng's order, a clam spirit that was accompanying the phoenix sedan came forward and took Ding Lin away.

Princess Wansheng mercilessly took off the little snake wrapped around her wrist, handed it to the clam spirit, and said nonchalantly:
"Take it down and deal with it."

"No, Princess, don't!"

The little white snake, as thick as a finger, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and screamed in fear.

"Princess, this carp is so ugly and its red color is vulgar. Didn't you say that you like my cute and fair skin? Princess, please don't abandon me, princess..."

The clam spirit took the little white snake, and he struggled even more violently.

"Princess, didn't you say yesterday that you loved me the most? Why are you replacing me today, Princess..."

The little white snake turned its head and looked at the fish monsters and clam spirits beside it.

"Aunts, please help me talk to the princess and ask for mercy. Didn't you like Xiaobai very much in the past..."
