Chapter 453: Scattered Wealth and an Unexpected Encounter
By the time they stepped out of the shop, the sky had already darkened, and the streets had grown much quieter.
The Daoist strolled at a leisurely pace, while the cat continued to trot beside him in small, quick steps. Yet, all the while, she kept her head turned, staring at him.
Finally, when they found a moment where no one else was around, she spoke up in a soft, delicate voice, “Young Daoist priest, what is a God of Wealth?”
“Are you starting to call me that again?”
“Mmph!” The calico cat paused for a split second, her little feet still moving, then quickly corrected herself, “Daoist priest! What is a God of Wealth?”
“A god who is believed to govern fortune and prosperity.”
“If you worship him, can you really become rich?”
“People believe so. And the God of Wealth himself promotes that belief.”
“If you worship him, can you really become rich?”
“I don’t know for certain,” the Daoist lowered his voice, matching the cat’s whispering tone. “But I have never seen anyone get rich solely because they worshipped the God of Wealth. Even if they themselves believed it.”
“So you can’t get rich...?” The calico cat’s interest waned immediately.
