The good times did not last long, just as Lian Gongzi was preparing to go to the Red Sea Palace to propose to the Red Sea King!

In June of that year, the climate was abnormal, the rain fell for more than ten days, the rain caused a flash flood, the entire Bagong Mountain was in danger, the Red Carp King in order to protect the people of Bagong Mountain, with the carp will go ashore to form a wall, vowing to block the flash flood. Princess Xianglan did not hesitate to take her daughter's body and also joined the army of guards.

In order to protect his father and fellow villagers in his hometown, and also for his beloved princess, Lian Gongzi held hands with Lan Xiang and shouldered shoulders to resist the storm...

But the Red Carp Clan, including the Red Carp King, Princess Xianglan, Lian Gongzi, and the soldiers of the Red Carp Clan, will never come back!

When the flash flood receded, the red carp group became a maple forest, rooted in the Bagong Valley, at this time people found that the branches of two maple trees were connected together, and if they looked closely at the two trees still maintained the shape of a person, it was a man and a woman, and people knew that these two maple trees were illusioned by Lian Gongzi and Princess Lanxiang, and the two maple trees connected by the branches were always hand in hand.
