Reborn as a Snake: Many Children, Many Blessings, Only I, the Green Snake Immortal

Jingyue River.

The mighty river surges and rolls, wooden boats shuttle across the water, and fishermen cast their nets to catch fish.

Whenever the harvest is ready, the fishermen are overjoyed and sincerely recite the name of the river god.

Wisps of green mist sank to the bottom of the river and gathered in the cave at the bottom.

Suddenly.

A cold wind blew by, and the fishermen felt a chill run through their bodies, but they didn't know why.

at the same time.

Underwater riverbed.

In front of the cave of the Jingyue River God.

A dark shadow appeared and quickly coalesced.

The Fengyang City God, dressed in official robes and with a stout figure, appeared in front of the cave.

His facial expressions shifted, revealing a complex range of emotions.

A mix of emotions including tension, joy, worry, and doubt.

For the past few dozen days, he has barely been able to eat or drink, and has been in a state of high tension and panic day and night.

If anything happens to the River God of Jingyue, he can forget about being the City God.

Upon hearing the news of the River God's appearance, I couldn't wait any longer and rushed to the Jingyue River to find out what was going on!

What has the River God been doing for almost a month?!

That snake demon in the Taihang Mountains... has it been dealt with yet?

Filled with many questions, the City God of Fengyang knocked on the door of the cave.

"River God? River God, are you there? It's me, the City God of Fengyang."

He shouted a few times.

No sound came from inside the cave.

The City God of Fengyang knew that the River God must be inside, and judging by the time, the River God should have just arrived at the cave not long ago.

Why aren't you saying anything?

A hint of doubt flashed in Huang Yushu's eyes, the City God of Fengyang.

Inside the cave.

The river god took a bite of a vermilion fruit, stared at the cave entrance with a fierce look in his eyes.

"You, Huang Yushu! You dare come looking for me!"

She rolled her big eyes, popped the fruit into her mouth, puffed out her cheeks, and walked over.

The water flowed, and the cave entrance was wide open.

Huang Yushu was taken aback when he saw the river god munching on fruit. He suddenly felt that the river god seemed a little different.

But they couldn't quite put their finger on what was different.

Then he realized what was happening.

"River God, you're finally back!" The City God of Fengyang rushed forward. "Why did it take so long? A whole month!"

The river god did not speak, but simply looked him up and down.

The City God of Fengyang didn't seem to care and continued, "What happened?"

As images of the mountains came to mind, the River God couldn't help but smile faintly.

"Was the snake demon killed?" asked the City God of Fengyang.

Upon hearing this, the river god's smile vanished instantly.

She stared coldly at the City God of Fengyang, and said what she had already prepared, shaking her head: "No, I didn't meet him."

"Didn't you see him?" The City God of Fengyang frowned.

"Otherwise, do you think I would spend a whole month?" The River God took out another fruit.

That shouldn't be happening!

The City God of Fengyang was filled with doubt.

Where could that snake demon possibly run to?

Besides, a month is a long time; even if you just wander around aimlessly, you should be able to find the other person by now, right?

Could it be that this river god just found a place to play for a month and never intended to make a move?

The City God of Fengyang couldn't understand it, but he didn't dare to ask directly.

He pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, could we ask the River God to make another trip after some time?"

"Alright!" The river god immediately nodded, holding out his hand. "Give it to me."

"What?" The City God of Fengyang was taken aback.

The River God of the Pure Moon glared at him: "The reward, the same as last time, not a penny less."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yushu's face flushed red, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Logically speaking, since he offered such a high reward and the other party failed to complete the task, he should either return the money to him or find a time to continue the work.

Now they want an extra payment? That's just outrageous!

"Also, this matter of yours has taken up so much of my time. I've been running around for a whole month, it's been very tiring..."

The City God of Fengyang raised his hand and said, "River God, what do you mean?"

The river god rubbed his fingers together: "What I mean is... we need to pay more!"

hiss---

The City God of Fengyang took a deep breath of the icy river water, never expecting that the seemingly simple river god could say such a thing.

"If you don't give it to me, I'll go to the state capital!"

The City God of Fengyang was so angry that he trembled all over. He casually threw out some jade and jewels, gave the River God a deep look, and then turned and left.

"Goodbye!"

He left as quickly as possible, his face extremely gloomy.

"That fatso is so stingy." The River God happily put away the jewelry and began to select some.

the other side.

The City God of Fengyang returned to the underworld.

When the underworld officials saw him return, they all stepped forward to inquire.

The already irritable City God of Fengyang was even more furious, and the thought of the reward he had given him made him feel even more heartbroken.

"Get out! All of you, get out!"

He roared, startling all the underworld officials into retreating.

......

Taihang Mountains.

After seeing the river goddess girl off, Xu Qing returned directly to the Taihang Mountains.

On the way, they happened to run into Bai Ling and Liu Mei, who were taking a stroll together to relax.

"Did you go back?" Bai Ling asked.

Xu Qing nodded and repeated the River God's request.

Liu Mei said she would inform the fat protector to deliver fruit every three days.

Afterwards, Xu Qing returned to the mountaintop with his two wives.

After sending them back to their lair, he went to the other side of the mountaintop.

He opened his mouth and spat out three jade bottles, from which thick green mist wafted.

One of the jade bottles contained incense from nearly a hundred villages at the foot of the Taihang Mountains. They all worshipped the mountain god, and their incense was of utmost purity.

The other two bottles contained the incense offerings and prayers of people from other parts of Fengyang County.

The quantity is relatively large, but its purity is much lower than that of Xu Qing's own.

The City God of Fengyang has not done much good work in recent years, and the people's trust in him has decreased considerably.

Xu Qing looked at the two bottles of incense and fell into deep thought.

The river god had previously told him many things about the path of divine cultivation.

Many Taoist practitioners do not have physical bodies, but only spiritual souls.

Incense is the foundation of their existence. Without the power of faith from incense, their cultivation will at best regress, and at worst, they will die and their cultivation will be destroyed.

However, incense has many other uses, such as casting spells, refining magical artifacts, and tempering the physical body.

There's nothing to worry about when using incense for these purposes.

With a thought, Xu Qing took out the incense from his bottle and carefully controlled it with his magic power, beginning to temper his physical body little by little.

In an instant, Xu Qing's flesh, bones, and blood vessels began to slowly change.

The constant cleansing power of the incense made his physical body even stronger.

at the same time.

In the system panel, the bloodline points began to slowly increase.

After a long time, the sun set and night fell.

"Click..."

A crisp sound came from Xu Qing's body, and fine cracks appeared on his scales as he began to molt.

......

(The idea that incense is poisonous seems to be a claim from the novel *Xian Ni*. We're talking about legitimate incense offerings, not so particular... Experts, please be gentle with your criticism. Also, the next chapter will introduce Tushan.)
