Capítulo 1284: Chapter 1284: River God Above (30)
After dealing with those people, Chuzheng dragged the River God back to the pharmacy, with Lang Sha following behind.
“Miss Chuzheng, how did you catch him?”
“Aren’t you a mortal?”
“How can you deal with a River God?”
Lang Sha’s questions came one after another, and suddenly the curtain behind them was lifted by a pair of hands, and someone bent slightly to come out from behind.
Lang Sha’s voice abruptly disappeared, as he warily stared at the distinguished man.
Why is he still with Miss Chuzheng?
“Where have you been?” Xuan Ying didn’t look at Lang Sha, only fixating on Chuzheng, his voice carrying a slight chill of the night.
Chuzheng: “Catching loaches.”
Xuan Ying paused slightly: “Caught them?”
Chuzheng held up the loach: “Of course.”
When the big shot makes a move, there’s no reason not to catch them.
Xuan Ying’s gaze lingered on the loach for a few seconds, then turned to ask Chuzheng: “Any discoveries?”
Chuzheng summarized it in a few sentences.
Xuan Ying frowned slightly: “What are you planning to do next?”
His gaze fell on the motionless dead loach.
She caught the River God just like that.
Xuan Ying wasn’t sure whether to praise her for being impressive, or for being reckless…
Chuzheng, after a night of tossing, was quite tired as a mortal.
So…
“Sleep, let’s talk tomorrow.”
“Huh?” Lang Sha was full of questions.
Is now really a time to sleep?
They’ve already caught the River God!!
They should strike while the iron is hot and resolve this matter.
“Give it to me.” Xuan Ying pointed at the River God: “I’ll set up a barrier to prevent it from running away.”
Chuzheng wanted to say that it couldn’t escape, but thought better and decided to give the Good Person Card a chance to shine.
She couldn’t dampen the Good Person Card’s enthusiasm.
She shouldn’t go against the Good Person Card.
Her own Good Person Card needed pampering.
She should pamper, pamper, and pamper it…
Chuzheng handed the River God to Xuan Ying and went directly to the back.
Lang Sha was somewhat anxious, not knowing Xuan Ying’s background but feeling he’s not a good person.
What if something happened after giving the River God to him?
Lang Sha hurriedly spoke up, trying to call Chuzheng back.
“Miss Chuzheng…”
Xuan Ying raised his hand, stopping Lang Sha: “Sir, it’s late, please leave.”
Lang Sha: “…”
Lang Sha was already a bit apprehensive of Xuan Ying, and this composed manner of speaking made Lang Sha even more uneasy.
The impression this man gives is of a calm, polite, well-mannered nobleman image.
However, Lang Sha couldn’t see through him.
He wasn’t human, nor a demon, yet seemed ominous, making it impossible for him to be a God…
So, what exactly is he?
Lang Sha left the pharmacy and found a place to sit, preparing to keep watch there.
–
The next day.
Chuzheng got up and saw the River God, now human-shaped, sitting cross-legged on the ground within a barrier in the courtyard.
Xuan Ying was leisurely sipping tea nearby, with a few exquisite breakfast items placed beside him.
“Awake.”
Seeing Chuzheng come out, Xuan Ying put down his teacup.
“Mm.” Chuzheng responded and sat down to eat breakfast.
Xuan Ying talked to Chuzheng, who occasionally replied, completely ignoring the River God.
“What exactly do you two want to do!” the River God couldn’t hold back any longer, wanting some relief whether by death or otherwise.
They brought him here, left him for so long, asked nothing, did nothing…
And now, right in front of him, they’re casually eating breakfast and chatting.
Chuzheng finished her last sip of porridge and put down her spoon: “What do you intend to do.”
River God: “You took something from me, I’m here to take it back.”
“Is it really yours?”
The River God’s expression changed slightly, and then he slapped the ground, standing up in anger: “If it wasn’t mine, is it yours?”
“Is the Tongtian Temple yours? Are you sure?”
Hearing Chuzheng mention the Tongtian Temple, the River God’s face twisted even more, his already not-so-good-looking face appearing more sinister.
The River God gritted his teeth: “The Tongtian Temple has no master. Whoever gets it owns it!”
Chuzheng nodded: “Exactly, so now that I’ve got it, it’s mine.”
“…”
The River God choked, falling into the pit he dug for himself.
The River God clenched his fists, raising his voice sounding tough but inwardly fearful: “I’m the River God, do you know the consequences of desecrating a deity?!”
Xuan Ying gestured for Chuzheng not to speak, and asked the River God: “How did your divine seal come about?”
The River God snorted coldly: “The divine seal was granted when I took office. Can I manufacture a divine seal myself?”
Xuan Ying’s tone remained unhurried: “One cannot create a divine seal by oneself, but it can be stolen. As a loach, you can’t possibly be the River God; your divine seal was stolen from someone else.”
The River God gnashed his teeth: “Don’t belittle me, what’s wrong with being a loach? Why can’t I be the River God!”
Xuan Ying: “That’s the rule.”
A River God must ensure smooth seasonal changes and weather for the people; the great rivers usually have members from the Dragon Clan govern them, and the smaller rivers might be managed by either branches of the Dragon Clan or other Auspicious Beasts, but certainly not a loach.
The river outside Hanjiang City is one of the three major rivers in the Human Realm; the River God should have been from the Dragon Clan.
The River God’s face turned red: “Bullshit rules!”
“Where did you get your divine seal from?”
“I told you, my divine seal was conferred. I was ordered to guard this place.”
He seemed to remember something and said coldly: “Now all the deities in the Human Realm are gone, and the Dragon Clan is extinct. Why can’t I become a River God?”
Xuan Ying tapped a finger on his teacup: “Since you’re aware of the current situation, you should know that the passage to the Divine Realm has long been closed. Who conferred your divine seal?”
The River God: “…”
The River God quickly calmed down, “Before the passage was closed…”
Xuan Ying interrupted him: “Before the passage was closed, the River God of this river, I knew them, and it wasn’t you.”
“…”
The River God didn’t know Xuan Ying, he just felt that this person was tough to deal with, probably not someone he could defeat.
Therefore, earlier, he never dared to confront him directly.
Now, with Xuan Ying pressing him like this, the River God panicked slightly.
But in just an instant, the River God calmed down.
With all the deities disappearing and the Divine Realm sealed off, whatever he says cannot be verified.
And so, the River God stubbornly said: “It was passed down by the former River God.”
Xuan Ying ignored this answer and persisted with his question: “Where is the real River God?”
Given that he has a River God’s seal, it proves that there once was a real River God here.
“You don’t understand? I am the River God… Haha, I am the River God!”
The River God suddenly burst into manic laughter, eyes filled with madness.
He is the River God.
The River God is him.
Xuan Ying’s voice remained calm and composed: “You are not the River God.”
The River God’s original body and human form kept switching, one moment a loach’s face, the next a human face, as he bared his teeth and roared: “I am!”
He is the River God, he is a deity.
He has a divine seal.
The River God firmly believed he was the River God, refusing to mention anything else, with his behavior showing hints of madness.
