Claiming the Throne of Gods, Starting from the Rebirth of Nezha

Nezha descended the city tower, went home to have dinner, and then was about to go to bed. On his way past the inner chamber, he heard a man and a woman talking inside. Nezha, of course, knew who they were. The man was Li Jing and the woman was a maid he had seen before, Li Jing’s newly favored concubine, Lv Ping.

For the past seven years, Nezha had been in a state of confusion; he was aware of this but was too lazy to bother.

Now, the situation was much the same. At the Li Family of Chentang Pass, everything seemed peaceful on the surface. However, if you delved deeper, you’d find a heap of absurdities that could drive you crazy if you decided to meddle in them.

But this time, as he passed by, Nezha inadvertently heard his own name mentioned in their conversation. So he sat under the illuminated window, looking up at the moon hanging like a jade plate in the sky.

Rare gusts of cool night wind blew, but the cicadas were still annoyingly noisy. The maiden’s coquettish voice was no longer as charming as it usually sounded.

"What do you mean?" Li Jing, who was reading under the lamp, frowned, casting his tiger eyes toward Lv Ping, wearing only a green silk shawl.

Lv Ping was frightened by Li Jing’s gaze, but she was anxious about this matter, so she mustered up the courage to say, "I heard people say that Nezha, like Su Daji in Zhaoge, is possessed by a demon, which is why his temperament changed so suddenly. The master possesses vast divine skills, and our family surely doesn’t fear a mere demon. But if outsiders find out our family is being toyed with by a demon, the family’s reputation would be completely ruined—"
