From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 355 The "Side Effects" of the Book of Animal Husbandry

You Ming suddenly realized that there must be something earth-shattering going on here, and he was the unlucky guy who had come here to die.

He felt like crying but had no tears left. "I haven't even reached the stage of 'trial by fire' yet, how come I'm already facing this level of tribulation?"

The female officials, including the shell maidens and clam maidens, as well as some of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals guarding the main hall, were all somewhat bewildered by all this.

What's going on? Why is the usually dignified and compassionate Empress acting so strangely today?

"Thorn."

The Goddess of the River suddenly realized something, and she abruptly waved her hand, an invisible force instantly reverberating throughout the entire hall.

All the female officials and soldiers were blasted into mincemeat in an instant, their very souls scattered.

However, she did not kill the minor deities in the adjacent side hall because they were unaware of what was happening here. She could deal with these subordinates herself, but she would be held accountable if she killed any deities without authorization.

However, when You Ming witnessed her giving birth, she was determined to kill him, even at the risk of being held accountable by the gods.

"Your Excellency..."

The Goddess of the River looked at the fetus floating in the blood-red light before her with a very respectful expression, but also with a hint of confusion.

She didn't know why the Venerable One was stopping her from killing this kid as well.

"I……"

"I do not know."

The fetus, suspended in mid-air, uttered a childish voice. After hesitating for a long time, it slowly answered the question posed by the Goddess of the River.

This infant's appearance is similar to that of the river god, with the upper body being human and the lower body being a snake.

Moreover, he was born with exquisite features, snow-white skin, and eyes that seemed to hold starlight, as if he was born with divinity, with a faint divine radiance flowing from his body.

They look like they were born divine.

However, when he spoke, his tone was full of the vicissitudes of an adult.

You Ming was so frightened by the powerful aura that he lay on the ground. He looked down at the Book of Animal Husbandry. On the second page, next to the original Goddess of the River, there was a monster covered in crimson scales, with four long, thin claws like knives, exuding a dangerous aura.

His pupils contracted slightly.

The Book of Animal Husbandry does not lie, which means that the image manifested by this fetus is false.

“Your Excellency, there’s something strange about this kid. I should kill him first.”

Jiang Shen Niangniang's eyebrows furrowed. She wasn't sure if the Venerable One had developed some mental problems due to his premature birth, but since this little god had witnessed everything, she certainly couldn't let him get away with it.

"call."

As she slapped her hand down, a flash of light streaked through the air, startling You Ming so much that he prepared to adjust the compass again.

"do not want!"

But the next moment, the small, holy figure suddenly flew up, its body flashing with blood-red light, and actually crashed into the light and shadow.

"Pong."

His body was blasted away and he landed on the ground in a very disheveled state.

"Your Excellency... Your Excellency."

The Goddess of the River turned pale. What was wrong with the Venerable One? He was actually risking his own life to save an ant.

The thought that she had actually hit the Venerable One filled her with unease.

The small figure got up from the ground. Although he had once held a high position, he was no match for the Goddess of the River, now that he had just been born.

Even though he hadn't used his full strength in that move, it still left him with serious injuries.

"I...I don't know what happened?"

"I always instinctively want to protect this kid."

"Boy, what exactly did you do to me?" The small figure slowly changed, and layers of scales appeared on its originally delicate skin, and its claws became sharp.

The voice, which was originally still childish, now sounds somewhat sharp.

A faint blood-red light emanated from his body, and his pair of dark eyes stared intently at You Ming.

"Kan Kun, I order you to protect my safety at all times. If I die or am injured in any way, you must commit suicide immediately."

You Ming slowly got up from the ground. Although he was surrounded by the oppressive aura of the River Goddess, his willpower was further strengthened to 14 points, which was enough to support him to stand up.

"you……"

"How do you know my name?!"

The monster's eyes visibly narrowed; being called by name clearly startled it.

How did I know? It's because it's marked in this "Book of Animal Husbandry".

You Ming muttered a curse to himself.

However, after shouting a sentence at the monster, You Ming felt a bit more confident.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

The monster was clearly flustered after hearing You Ming's words, but for some reason, he regarded You Ming's words as an ironclad rule deep in his heart.

If You Ming dies or is injured in any way, he will commit suicide!

"Quick, kill him for me!"

Panic gripped the monster, and he turned and shouted at the Goddess of the River.

Upon hearing this, the Goddess of the River hesitated for a moment before flicking her finger, instantly transforming it into a water arrow that shot towards You Ming's brow.

The water arrow wasn't fast; in fact, it seemed slow to You Ming. But You Ming couldn't dodge it at all and could only watch helplessly as the water arrow approached him.

If he were shot, he would surely be annihilated, both physically and mentally.

"and many more!"

Just as the water arrow was about to reach You Ming's brow, the monster suddenly roared.

He moved swiftly in front of Youming and grabbed the water arrow.

The River Goddess breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed the water arrows.

She naturally had the ability to kill You Ming in an instant, but she also realized that something was wrong. If she really killed You Ming, the Venerable One would have to commit suicide to accompany him, and that would be the end of it.

The monster's expression kept changing. Just now, as the water arrow approached Youming, it involuntarily moved closer to the water arrow, and even had self-destructive tendencies in its mind.

He would commit suicide immediately if You Ming died!

"how so……"

His mind was in complete turmoil. Even if he were reincarnated, his innate status would be extremely high and noble. Even those old monsters in the Heavenly Realm would not be able to control him like this.

"This is absolutely infuriating! My mood is going up and down like this, my heart is about to give out."

You Ming's mood was like a rollercoaster. Even with his strong will, he was struggling to keep up. However, he was very grateful to the Book of Animal Husbandry at this moment.

The "side effect" of the Book of Animal Husbandry is that once the mother gives birth, the newborn fetus forms a bond with her, just as a small animal will recognize the first person it sees as its parent.

This "Book of Animal Husbandry" also has this characteristic, having an effect similar to being bound to a master.

This is certainly not a side effect; it's more of a useful ability, since nobody wants their livestock to disobey their commands.

But for Jiang Shen and his mother, this is definitely a side effect.

This monster was forced to acknowledge Youming as its master.

Under normal circumstances, this constraint is very weak. If he is a normal fetus, he will at most have a good feeling towards You Ming. But once he develops malice towards You Ming, this constraint will immediately appear.
