Marrying a playboy? She turned the tables and used a magical talisman to become famous throughout th

Ling Hua's lifeless eyes dared not look at her, and she said tremblingly,

"The little demon was greedy for merit and acted rashly, breaking the rules of animal cultivation and violating the law of heaven and earth, which is why he harmed himself and others!"

"But...but the little demon had no choice. It was only after eating a spiritual spring that it gained sentience, and it was determined to escape its animal form, which is why..."

As she spoke, she repeatedly banged her head against the ground, quickly drawing blood from her forehead.

"Please, young Taoist priest, spare my life! This little demon swears to heaven that I will never harm anyone again!"

"Breaking the rules is breaking the rules, there's nothing more to say."

Yin Liuli frowned and said, "The old princess is on the verge of death. If I spare you, do you think I don't care about her life?"

"Return your primordial yang to its rightful owner, and your karma in this life will be resolved. You'll have the chance to be reborn as a human in your next life."

"No...no! I don't want to make fish soup! I don't want to make fish soup!"

Ling Hua's face, covered in fish scales, was filled with terror. Suddenly, as if electrocuted, she sprang up and leaped into the pond.

"Splash..."

A huge splash of water erupted from the pool.

Ling Hua clasped her hands to her sides and brought her legs together, wriggling her body like a fish in the water as she swam desperately.

This pond has an inlet and an outlet that connect to the outside. As long as it can crawl out, it can escape!

It has given up the physical body of that koi fish. As long as its spirit remains, it can find a new body to start over!

"Still trying to run?"

Yin Liuli raised her hand and sent out a beam of spiritual light, then grabbed at the air with her other hand.

A giant, fish-shaped phantom emerged from Ling Hua's body, which she then pulled out.

She casually picked up a jade pendant and absorbed the fish demon's spiritual consciousness into it.

The lively fish with the character "福" (fortune) on the ground suddenly seemed to have lost its strength and went limp.

Ling Hua's body sank into the water, but she suddenly choked on a mouthful of water and regained consciousness. She frantically waved her arms and screamed, but her voice returned to normal.

"Help...help me! I can't swim...help me..."

No one in the manor knew whether she was Ling Hua or a fish demon causing trouble, so no one dared to make a move.

"What are you all standing there for? Save them!"

Prince Shan was the first to react, and hurriedly shouted, "Guards! Guards..."

Several servants quickly jumped into the water, swam to Ling Hua who was struggling desperately, and dragged her out of the water.

"Cough cough cough..."

Ling Hua spat out several mouthfuls of water, her chest aching as if being cut by a knife. She lay on the ground, clutching her chest, coughing and gasping for breath.

The people in the mansion watched her from afar, each covering their noses and not daring to approach.

"How could this happen! How could this be..."

After catching her breath, Linghua looked at her soaking wet body with a shocked expression.

She was soaking wet, her elegant dress clung to her body in wrinkles, and her face and body were covered in foul-smelling mud from the bottom of the pool.

Her jet-black hair was strewn with tangled seaweed, her hair bun was loose, and her hair was disheveled and stuck to her face.

Water droplets dripped down his body, making him look incredibly disheveled.

The air seemed to freeze.

Everyone present looked at her with unspeakable disdain and contempt, pointing and whispering about her.

Ling Hua looked at everyone with her dreamy eyes, and suddenly her heart trembled.

The words the fish demon spoke to everyone when she possessed her flooded her mind like a tidal wave.

Ling Hua's heart suddenly stopped beating for a second, and the feeling of drowning surged back into her heart, instantly turning her face ashen.

Finished!

She went to great lengths to win over her grandparents, but the image of a gentle and virtuous princess that she had painstakingly cultivated in front of everyone in the Prince's Mansion collapsed in an instant.

She was a concubine's daughter in the royal family.

My mother came from a humble background; she was the least noticeable of my father's many wives and concubines.

She wanted to stand out, but her mother couldn't offer her any help. She could only rely on her cleverness and wit, and diligently ingratiate herself with her grandparents, to win what she wanted.

Otherwise, she would only be used as a bargaining chip, assigned to a family worth exchanging for her as a concubine.

If she's lucky, she might be married off to a family with a low-ranking official and become their principal wife.

She would never stoop to marrying into a family where even wealth and luxury are luxuries!

She might even become a concubine accompanying the eldest granddaughter of Prince Shan's household...

She went to great lengths to change her fate, only to be brutally brought back to square one!

Scenes flashed through Ling Hua's mind like a movie.

Her heart clenched, and a deep sense of regret welled up inside her.

In fact, after catching the fish demon, Yin Liuli did not intend to embarrass her at all.

If she hadn't been so determined to save face and acted so aggressively, how could Yin Liuli have allowed the fish demon to possess her?

It was her cousin Wan'er who revealed that she had bought the fish with the character "福" (fortune/blessing).

She was so angry that she was blinded by rage and dared not offend Wan'er and her aunt, so she vented all her anger on Yin Liuli!

"what……"

Ling Hua was stunned for a long time, then suddenly raised her hand to cover her face and let out a shrill scream.

"Hua'er..."

Prince Shan called out, raised his hand and patted her head, sighing helplessly.

"You're just too strong-willed, kid. You should learn from your mistakes and learn to control your temper in the future."

Grandfather knows you've had a tough time, but don't worry, Grandfather will still treat you well from now on.

"grandfather……"

Linghua raised her dazed eyes, tears streaming down her face, and murmured, "Linghua, Linghua knows she was wrong..."

"Alright, get up."

A pang of heartache flashed in Prince Shan's aged eyes as he slowly said, "Someone, escort the princess back to her room."

Yin Liuli's clear eyes reflected the candlelight as she spoke softly.

"The matter is settled. Stew that fish as soon as possible and give it to the old princess so she will be fine."

"My lord, I cannot sell my goods cheaply. I cannot do this for you for nothing. Please calculate the price."

Prince Shan's haggard face was full of sincerity.

"Many thanks to Princess Anle for saving my wife's life. I don't know how to repay you."

Yin Liuli thought for a moment, then said casually,

"I used several talismans to catch the fish demon, each costing one hundred taels. You only need to give me five hundred taels in total."

If you need me to do anything in the future, this is the price. It shouldn't be expensive for you, right?

"Hehehe...Not expensive at all."

Prince Shan was amused by her innocent and carefree appearance and laughed heartily, waving his hands repeatedly and saying, "The princess saved my wife, whom I have known since childhood. One hundred taels of silver and a talisman are far too little for me!"

"Five hundred taels, is that still not enough?"

Yin Liuli puffed out her cheeks, inwardly grimacing. It seemed she really wasn't cut out to be a shrewd businesswoman!

When the master and senior brother went down the mountain to exorcise ghosts and cure diseases for the villagers, they would only charge ten or twenty coins.

Occasionally, when visiting the wealthy man in town, he would only receive one or two taels of silver.

She was thinking that Prince Shan was a rich man, so she asked for a hundred times the price, intending to use the money to support her master and fellow disciples.

Unexpectedly, they complained that they didn't want enough!

"Someone, bring a thousand taels of silver notes, along with my and my princess's gifts of gratitude, and send them to Princess Anle's residence."

King Shanqin gave an order and said with a kind smile, "The silver and the gift are nothing. If the princess ever needs my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
