Chapter 417 (2): The Happiness, Anger, Sorrow, and Joy in Autumn
Over at the bamboo building in Downtrodden Mountain, the little boy in azure had just had a farewell drink with a friend in a restaurant in the small town.
The little girl in pink was sitting on a small bamboo chair and snacking on roasted seeds, and after discovering the low spirits of the little boy in azure, she asked, "You didn't drink to your heart's content with your river god brother from the Imperial River? Or perhaps the wine is too expensive?"
The little boy in azure plonked down on the bamboo chair beside her, resting his cheeks in his hands as he replied, "You don't understand the matters pertaining to the cultivation world."
The little girl in pink reached over and poured him some roasted seeds, and the little boy in azure didn't turn down her offer.
Just then, the river god of the Yellow Court Nation's Imperial River had successfully obtained an incredibly valuable Peace and Safety Tablet from the little boy in azure.
He then received permission from the imperial court of the Yellow Court Nation to leave his jurisdiction and cross the border to the Great Li Empire, allowing him to visit Downtrodden Mountain.
The little boy in azure had brought his best friend and brother to many places, and the little girl in pink was sure that he hadn't held back when boasting to the river god.
After finishing his roasted seeds, the little boy in azure wailed and moaned in gloominess for a moment, scratching his cheeks and ears before suddenly falling silent. He straightened his legs, appearing completely dispirited as he slumped back into his bamboo chair and said slowly, "The formal gods of rivers are also divided into different grades, and when we were drinking just then, my brother told me that he came across the highest-grade river god from the Iron Talisman River when he was making his way over. He felt extremely envious, and he asked me to put in some good words for him in the imperial court of the Great Li Empire, hoping that some branch rivers can also be included into the jurisdiction of the Imperial River."
"Then did he give you any immortal coins to forge relationships with?" the little girl in pink asked.
"No," the little boy in azure replied.
There was a strange look in the little girl's eyes.
