Chapter 202 - 203: Show a Clear Path to the Minor Deity
As a member of the Dragon Clan, the Jing River Dragon King naturally had his own pride, and if given the chance, he naturally wouldn’t want to lose.
Although at the beginning, he felt that he had lost, and his opponent didn’t even agree to a wager.
But if his dignity could remain intact, all the better.
He wouldn’t need to apologize to that mortal, and his self-respect was preserved.
Upon hearing this, the River-patrolling Yaksha also breathed a sigh of relief, for he had done all he could, whether the mission was accomplished or not.
The next day, the Jing River Dragon King summoned Feng Bo, Cloud Child, Thunder Duke, and Mother of Lightning to above the Ninth Heaven of Chang’an City.
True to the River-patrolling Yaksha’s suggestion, he started the rainfall at Yi hour, thundered at noon, rained at Wei hour, and stopped the rain at Monkey Hour, but only three feet and forty point eight inches of rain fell — he had changed the time by one hour and deducted three inches and eight-tenths.
"Thinking about it, that Yuan Shoucheng must be full of regret at this moment, wondering why he didn’t calculate it correctly. I’ll go see how he’s dealing with it!"
On his way back to the Dragon Palace, the Jing River Dragon King was thoroughly pleased with himself; though the other party hadn’t agreed to the bet, he had won after all.
Considering he hadn’t been treated well by Yuan Shoucheng earlier, he naturally wanted to see what Yuan Shoucheng had to say this time.
He transformed into the appearance of a Scholar once more and headed towards Yuan Shoucheng’s stall.
