Capítulo 1260: Chapter 1260: River God Above (Part 6)
The people on the boat shouted in terror, “Lord River God, spare us!”
“Lord River God, spare us!”
“We truly didn’t know.”
“Lord River God, calm your wrath.”
“It was all done by the Yuh Residence, it has nothing to do with us, Lord River God.”
“Lord River God…”
The Lord River God snorted coldly, “From now on, the ‘sacrificial offering’ each year will increase to two!!”
The crowd was frightened and afraid, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
They could barely handle one; now to increase it to two…
“Lord River God…”
The waves almost capsized the boat.
The River God spoke with a threatening tone, “Any objections?”
“…”
Facing an overwhelming force, how could they have objections?
The River God waved his sleeve, and the unconscious Yuh Lian flew into the air, floating behind him.
“I won’t hold this against you this time.”
Some couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this.
“But…”
This relief was short-lived as those two words put them back on edge.
Deliberately pausing, the River God waited until the people were trembling on the verge of fainting before coldly continuing, “There’s one more thing.”
The speaker’s teeth were chattering, “Ri…river God…Lord, please…please speak.”
The River God waved his hand, conjuring a water mirror in the void, revealing a person inside.
“This woman stole something from me. She’s in the city right now, bring her to me!”
The person in the water mirror was none other than Chuzheng.
The people’s hearts sank; wasn’t she ‘ordered’ to return? She actually stole from the Lord River God?!
The crowd probably realized they had been fooled by Chuzheng.
The River God didn’t even know about the sacrificial offering being switched…
Repeatedly deceived and with no outlet for their fear of the River God, the people became angry, almost wishing to tear Chuzheng to pieces.
Chuzheng: “…”
I take back what I said before.
Who else stole from you!
That little ruined temple just up and went into my body, how is that my fault!
I’m not taking the blame for this!
–
The people on the shore looked around, trying to find Chuzheng. Their attention had been on the boat, not noticing when Chuzheng had left.
“Where did she go?”
“Who saw her?”
“No one, where did she go?”
“She was just here… Look! Find her quickly, we can’t let her get away!”
Having stolen from the River God, they couldn’t let her escape if they wanted to keep living.
“There she is!”
A child in the crowd pointed in Chuzheng’s direction and shouted.
Chuzheng: “…”
Darn kids are really annoying!!
“Lord River God, she’s over there!”
The adult next to the child immediately called out to the River God.
The River God, not finding Lang Sha with Chuzheng, attacked first without caring if there were any commoners nearby. The water waves surged and roared towards Chuzheng.
A silver glint flashed through the air, and Chuzheng lightly tapped the ground with her toe, leaping into the air, taking two steps through the void on a silver thread.
This raised a sense of unease in the River God’s heart.
She’s just a mortal…
How could she stand in mid-air? Walk on air like it’s solid ground?
With a heavy heart, the River God, not suffering from the classic villain flaw of talking too much, reached out a hand toward the water, drawing the currents upward.
“Go!”
With a flick of his hand, torrents shot towards Chuzheng, forming a water dragon mid-flight.
The water dragon roared, destroying everything in its path, and the people cried out, scattering like birds and beasts.
Chuzheng, ensnared by the water dragon, wasn’t harmed, deftly dodging within its coils.
The more the River God watched, the more he felt something was wrong.
What power was supporting her?
Intent on ending things quickly, the River God summoned another water dragon, striking towards Chuzheng with lightning speed.
The two water dragons attacked Chuzheng from left and right in concert.
Chuzheng only dodged without attacking… She had no means to attack; she’s just a mortal!
The dragon’s roars were eerily lifelike. Stepping on the silver thread, Chuzheng dodged one water dragon and suddenly flipped up, landing atop its head.
The water dragon twisted and dove, trying to throw her off.
Chuzheng jumped down, landing on a boat that had yet to capsize.
The two water dragons simultaneously dove at her, but the girl on the boat didn’t dodge, standing upright, slightly tilting her head to gaze at the River God on the water, her dress billowing in the wind, her long hair swirling behind her.
The River God fixed his gaze on Chuzheng, urging the water dragons to speed up.
Chuzheng stretched her right hand from her sleeve, her slender, fair fingers casually stretching, slowly pressing down.
Boom—
The two water dragons suddenly exploded behind her.
The sky rained down, the water dropping onto the river as if a torrential downpour had just occurred.
If anyone had seen the silver threads in the air when the dragons exploded, they would have noticed that the dragons had already been entangled in them.
At the moment Chuzheng moved, the silver threads tightened, and finally… boom!
The River God showed a flicker of surprise, turning quickly to dread.
He shook his arms, summoning several water dragons from the river, their deafening roars echoing against the sky.
The dragons roared and spiraled, the scene was indescribably awe-inspiring.
Yet in the next moment, without warning, the spiraling dragons disintegrated in mid-air, turning back into water droplets that fell back into the river.
The River God: “…”
If the River God had been surprised and wary, now he was downright shocked.
Chuzheng: “…”
I didn’t do it! What are you looking at me for!
Could it be that the little dragon’s power was exhausted and couldn’t sustain so many water dragons?
The clouds were also scattering, the sunlight breaking through, beams of golden light falling onto the river, reflecting a shimmering glow.
At this moment, the River God seemed to sense something. He looked up at the sky.
Chuzheng followed his gaze.
The sky was clearing, the sun shining brightly, dispelling all the fog.
Though Chuzheng didn’t see anything specifically, she felt the airflow seemingly slow down, creating a sense of pressure.
Darkness abruptly dropped in front of Chuzheng, as the clouds that had scattered earlier moved together with an eerie speed, blocking out the sunlight again.
Different from before, if the clouds had dimmed the brightness by six parts earlier, now it was at most three, barely brighter than night.
An eerie, damp, oppressive feeling spread continuously through the air.
Splosh—
Chuzheng looked towards the River God’s location, seeing only the splashes.
River God and Yuh Lian were gone.
Taking a few steps towards the boat’s bow, Chuzheng vaguely saw a dark shadow heading towards the depths of the river.
Chuzheng: “…”
Quite the quick escape.
Looking up at the sky again, apart from the thick layer of clouds, there was nothing else.
After the River God’s departure, the clouds dispersed as rapidly as they arrived, and the sky was clear once again.
The river returned to its calm state, as if nothing had ever happened.
