My Princess and Crown Prince Are Revived
Chapter 172: The Anger of the People

Chapter 172: Chapter 172: The Anger of the People

People with insincerity?

Almost instantly, everyone’s gaze fell upon Yan Lian.

"My royal nephew, this is to seek rain for the people, to bring them benefits; do not be reckless,"

Fen Chunjing slowly raised her head, speaking to Yan Lian with a harsh tone.

"Benefits. I think you are actually committing sins," Yan Lian retorted bitterly.

"How dare you! Even though you are a prince, you must not disrespect the gods!" Fen Chunjing stood up and scolded angrily.

"Mother, perhaps cousin Prince does not yet understand the power of the gods; please do not be angry..."

Tang Qingping and Gao Shixuan hurried over to persuade.

The thoughts of Tang Qingping were quite simple.

If she wanted to be a Princess Consort in the future, it was better not to offend Yan Lian and his family.

But Fen Chunjing swept them with a cold look, then scolded again: "You two, kneel down."

Tang Qingping and Li Jiaoqing were so frightened that they immediately knelt down, not daring to speak anymore.

Seeing this scene, Chu Baihan and Yan Lin exchanged glances.

Both men had very solemn expressions.

It seemed that Princess Chunjing...had also lost her sense.

Just at that moment, the rain stopped.

"Why has the rain stopped?"

"Yes, wasn’t it just raining a moment ago? How suddenly it has stopped?"

The public started to panic.

They looked up and around, asking each other.

"Do not panic, everyone. The gods are displeased because someone here is disrespectful and defiant, hence they stopped the rain as a small punishment to forewarn others,"

King Qin spoke solemnly from the rooftop.

His martial arts were not weak, and his voice, infused with Inner Strength, carried an overwhelming authority.

His words reached every corner, making all the people clearly aware, further convincing them of the existence of the gods.

As for those who are disrespectful to the gods...

"Get out of Jiangnan, Jiangnan does not welcome those who disrespect the gods,"

"Exactly, you troublemakers, quickly get out of Jiangnan. Otherwise, we will not let you off lightly,"

The people showed their hatred, their words extremely harsh.

"Everybody, stay calm, this is Prince Lian,"

Tang Qingping frowned and hurriedly spoke up.

But hearing her words, many of the public grew even angrier.

"What does being a prince matter? Can a prince become a curse to Jiangnan?"

"It’s said that the emperor sent them here for disaster relief, but what have they done after all these days? They’ve done nothing but harm to Jiangnan!"

"That’s right, we do not welcome such disasters in Jiangnan!"

The people grew angrier, with some even standing up and moving aggressively towards Yan Lian.

The guards around Yan Lian quickly drew their swords.

"Do not."

Chu Baihan hastily spoke out to stop them.

The people were enraged, and any violence against them might only worsen the situation.

"Crown Princess, what should we do now?"

Yan Lian was forced back to the side of Chu Baihan and Yan Lin.

Looking around, they found that nearly all the people had stood up, then surrounded them.

"Stubborn and unenlightened, you deserve to suffer,"

King Qin sneered coldly.

The next moment, he waved his hand towards the sky.

With a loud "boom," lightning struck down from the sky, aiming directly at Yan Lian.

"Be careful!"

Yan Lin sensed something wrong and immediately pulled Yan Lian away.

Yan Lian ended up sitting on the ground, his face filled with panic and his forehead drenched in cold sweat.

Because right where he had been standing, a huge crater had formed.

If it hadn’t been for his eighth brother pulling him away, he might very well have lost his life.

"Look, that is the consequence of angering the gods," King Qin spoke coldly.

"Gods, spare us, Gods, spare us."

"Gods, save us."

"We will always be sincere to the gods."

"..."

The common folk, seeing this scene, became even more convinced of the divine power.

One by one, they hurried to kneel until their foreheads nearly bled.

"Pretending to be gods and spirits!"

Chu Baihan said coldly.

Having lived in Jiangnan for so many years, she considered it one of her homes.

She simply could not tolerate the people being deceived like this.

She exchanged a glance with Yan Lin, and in perfect understanding, they used their Qinggong to fly up to the rooftop.

Noticing the noise, Qin Rong, who had been closing his eyes, immediately opened them.

"Where is the protector?" he shouted loudly.

Soon, countless figures in black leapt over from the side.

"Seems like you’ve prepared well," Chu Baihan snorted coldly.

Yan Chen, Ziyi, Tang Yu, and others weren’t just standing around idly, they drew their swords and quickly flew up as well.

The common folk, seeing this scene, were on edge.

But soon they started shouting.

"Kill them, kill these impious ones!"

They were all, without exception, supporters of Qin Rong.

Their minds were indeed deeply poisoned.

"I see Yan Xiao!"

While engaged in combat with the men in black, Chu Baihan caught a glimpse of a figure hidden amongst the commoners and immediately alerted Yan Lin.

"This prince will deal with him. Be careful," Yan Lin said gravely to Chu Baihan.

"Alright, you be careful too," Chu Baihan solemnly nodded in response.

"Jian Ying, Wuji, stop these men in black for this princess, I am going to take this so-called divine head," Chu Baihan ordered coldly.

"Yes, Princess!"

With their protection, Chu Baihan quickly confronted Qin Rong.

"You ignorant boy."

Seeing this, Qin Rong smirked contemptuously.

Although the Crown Prince had warned him not to kill Chu Baihan,

after all, she was the Princess of Nanduan Kingdom.

If something happened to her here, it wouldn’t benefit them.

But today, he felt he needed to teach her a lesson lest his authority be undermined.

Soon, Qin Rong raised his right hand to the sky.

Soon, a bolt of lightning even more terrifying than before slashed down from the sky, aimed directly at Chu Baihan.

Everyone who saw this scene changed their expressions dramatically.

"Hanhan!"

"Princess."

"My master."

Voices of concern arose from various quarters, the voice of Yan Lin even carried a soul-tearing pain.

But faced with this situation, Chu Baihan did not dodge, but instead headed straight for the lightning.

Was she seeking death?

The people below did not understand, and even Qin Rong was evidently surprised.

Was she truly fearless of death?

Only Yan Lin knew...

He quickly guessed her purpose.

But what if there was an accident?

Clenching his fists, Yan Lin’s eyes reddened, his face full of worry.

With a "boom", the lightning engulfed Chu Baihan in light.

"Looks like she’s done for. This is what happens to those who disrespect the divine," they said.

"But she is the eldest princess of Nanduan Kingdom, what if..."

"What’s there to fear, she went to her death willingly, we didn’t force her. Besides, we have divine protection, what can Nanduan Kingdom do to us?"

"Right, right, we have the divine protection, there is nothing to fear," they said, their confidence returning.

"Hahaha, to be reduced to ashes is merely this feeling," Qin Rong said, touching his beard and laughing derisively.

But the next moment, Chu Baihan’s voice of contempt rang out—

"So this is the extent of a god’s power, nothing more than this."
