Reborn as a Guardian Beast: The Divine Venerable's Safety Depends on Me

Cang Yue, an ancient spirit mermaid, had barely reclaimed her scattered soul when the Heavenly Dao handed her straight to Ling Yuan, the God of War of Cangyuan. Word around the Three Realms was that this god of war was ruthless and didn't spare even his own family. Terrified, Cang Yue packed her things in the middle of the night and prepared to run. But after swimming for three days and three nights, she looked up and saw Ling Yuan sitting on a reef, waiting for her. His dark robes fluttered in the wind, and he held a bowl of delicious spirit fish soup. “ Tired from running?” He held it out to her. “Drink it while it’s hot.” Later, Cang Yue searched through ancient books, secretly trying to learn a spell that would break their contract. Ling Yuan simply left the library key outside her door, along with a bonus book titled 108 Ways for Spirit Mermaids to Get Along with Their Masters as Equals. # Later, Cang Yue attended a banquet hosted by the immortal sects, hoping to find someone powerful enough to help her escape. In front of all the immortals in the hall, Ling Yuan swept her into his arms. “I am her strongest backer. Does anyone have a problem with that?” Cang Yue glared at him. “Didn't you say you were only keeping me as a spirit beast?” Ling Yuan fell silent for a few seconds, then asked, his ears turning red: “Do you think I would personally choose three thousand bolts of mermaid silk to make a spirit beast a dress?” Cang Yue: “Man, you’re so stubborn!” Ling Yuan smiled and lowered his head to kiss the corner of Cang Yue’s eye. “It’s soft now. You taught me how.”
