1 A Ball of Golden Light

Yang Cailan was a lotus named Qing Lian and was raised in a Taoist temple. Because she was influenced by the incense of the Taoist sect, she could finally transform into a human after cultivating for a thousand years. However, when she was transforming, she encountered heavenly lightning and was struck by it. If it was not for the critical moment, she would not have torn open the space-time rift and fled, or she would have been reduced to ashes.

Due to the urgency of the situation, Qing Lian did not notice that her current surroundings were poverty-stricken and the various places were still developing in the 1950s. She could not care less about that. When Qing Lian saw a little girl hanging herself from a beam, she took advantage of the fact that the body was still warm and no one had found out. She jumped into the body and took over as Yang Cailan.

Due to her family being poor and she was a girl, Yang Cailan was not favored at home at all. She ate the least food and did the most work. Although Qing Lian's true form was a fairy, now that she had a human body, she still had to eat. She wanted to try her luck in the river and catch a small fish to satisfy her craving. In the end, when she came into contact with the river water, she actually felt like she had turned into a green lotus. Her body became light and she directly fell into the water.

Just as Qing Lian was about to lose her human form and turn back into a green lotus, she saw a dazzling golden light in her daze. It was especially warm, and it was very similar to the spiritual power that her masters had given her a thousand years ago. In an instant, she knew that she would not die. As long as she obtained this ball of light, it would be the spiritual power she needed the most.

Qing Lian's survival instinct made her hold the golden light in front of her with both hands, and she opened her mouth to bite it. Every time the old Taoist priest fed her spiritual power, he would wrap it up and let her swallow it. That was why her impression of spiritual energy was that she had to eat it.

This so-called golden light was Liu Baishan. He had been trying his best to get her out of the water, but he did not expect a pair of arms to wrap around his neck. Before he could react, his lips were blocked, and was even sucking the air from his mouth! He had never been treated like this in his twenty-five years of life. He immediately froze. He did not know how to react at all. If he hadn't felt that the breath in his mouth had been sucked away, he definitely wouldn't have woken up. The person who was as heavy as a thousand gold just now floated up to the surface of the water with him.

"Oh no! Isn't that Lan? Could it be that she couldn't stand the death of her fiancé and decided to jump into the river to die for love? She's so young, yet she can't take things too hard?" Someone recognized Yang Cailan and made a bold guess.

The young people on the shore stretched their necks to look into the water. The river was not too wide, about ten meters wide. Even though there was a distance, those with good eyesight could still see clearly.

"Die for love? Would she hug and kiss a man when she died for love? Tsk…" A man retorted with an ambiguous expression.

"Why are they kissing in broad daylight? Such a shameless girl…"

Some sharp-eyed people saw Yang Cailan hugging Liu Baishan and kissing him, and they immediately exclaimed. If there were still people who had not seen it clearly just now, they would stretch their necks to take a look.

"Wow, I thought it was suicide, but it turns out to be seeking a man in the water! Young people these days are dauntless…"

...

The group of people on the shore began to chitter-chatter loudly.

In the evening, the busy farming season in the village had ended. Men, women, and children usually had nothing new to talk about. The big news in front of them had become explosive.

Yang Cailan heard their discussion and instinctively wanted to retort, 'Who found a man? I'm saving his life!' Unfortunately, she didn't have the strength to retaliate. She was counting on the golden light in front of her to extend her life. She still wanted to continue absorbing the energy. It was great to have spiritual power. She did not have to worry about becoming a lotus flower again and not being able to move. She had finally managed to take advantage of heaven's loophole. She did not want her soul to be destroyed.

Just as Yang Cailan was about to absorb more golden light, she felt herself being pulled down and pushed away. She felt her feet digging into the mud again.

"Oh my, hurry up and save them. Why did they sink to the bottom again? Young man, pull them up now!"

There were sharp-eyed old women on the shore who shouted at Liu Baishan one by one. They saw him floating on the water and Yang Cailan sinking again. No matter what, they could not just watch people sink.

This series of twists and turns scared everyone so much that their little hearts throbbed.

Liu Baishan had no choice but to dive again. Yang Cailan saw the golden light approaching her again. This time, she hugged the golden light tightly and kissed his lips even more firmly, refusing to let go. Otherwise, she would sink bit by bit like before and become a dead green lotus.

The hearts of the people on the shore rose and fell at the sight. If Liu Baishan did not kiss Yan Cailan, she would sink to the bottom. If he kissed her, she would float up. The people around found the scene infuriating. It was enviable to say that Liu Baishan was a lucky guy.

The most important thing was that everyone had clearly seen that the woman was Yang Cailan. She was the most beautiful girl in their village, but she went and kissed a fearsome man.
