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

That night.

As the heatwave subsided, a cool evening breeze brought in clouds, plunging the entire world into darkness.

The deep darkness enveloped the mountains and forests, from which rustling sounds could be heard.

Edge of the Taihang Mountains.

Several monkey demons carrying a basket of various spiritual fruits arrived at the riverbank outside the jungle.

They cautiously and furtively surveyed their surroundings.

"Little carp, we're here! Come out quickly!"

One of the monkey demons took out several fruits from its bosom and threw them all into the river.

With a "plop".

The spiritual fruit suddenly disappeared, and a pale yellow carp appeared, looking at the monkey demon in front of it and complaining, "It's a bit sour."

The carp's name is Huang Yu'er. She is a little demon taken in by the Jingyue River God and is considered his personal maid.

"Alright, the mistress will definitely give you some of these fruits. Take them back quickly, don't make our mistress wait anxiously."

The monkey demons put all the fruit into the river and gave several jade bottles to the carp.

"The King sent me to tell you that these newly refined elixirs should be used sparingly, as one of the main ingredients is running low!"

"Understood." The carp opened its mouth and spat out several letters, adding, "Things aren't going well here lately, you should leave quickly."

As it spoke, the yellow carp rolled over and used water magic to carry the many spiritual fruits into the riverbed and disappear.

"Hey, have you guys noticed? The river seems much shallower now."

"It really is true. Alright, let's go, it'll be terrible if someone sees us!"

The monkey demons did not linger and quickly disappeared into the jungle.

the other side.

Huang Yu'er sped along, not daring to waste a single moment.

Not long after.

She returned to her cave at the bottom of the Jingyue River.

"Master, I brought back all the spirit fruits."

Before he could finish speaking...

The cave entrance suddenly burst open, and a girl with two long braids hanging down her back, delicate features, and a slightly chubby face appeared beside Huang Yu'er.

"This is making me... oh... this girl... oh... so hungry!"

With a slightly protruding belly, the River God of the Pure Moon held three spiritual fruits in one hand and had already eaten two vermilion fruits while speaking.

"Master, only two hours have passed since you last ate the spiritual fruit!"

Huang Yu'er reminded her from the side.

"What do you know?"

The River Goddess of the Pure Moon shook her head, ate the remaining spiritual fruit in her hand, and then said, "This young lady is now worried!"

"What's bothering you?" Huang Yu'er looked at the pile of spiritual fruits beside her and wondered if the River God's appetite had increased again.

"Yunzhou is suffering from a severe drought, and Fengyang is no exception. Haven't you noticed that the water level in our Jingyue River is starting to drop?"

The River God of the Pure Moon casually picked up a bottle of elixirs, popped one into his mouth, and chewed it like a candy.

After taking the elixir, the worry on her pretty face lessened considerably.

"So many people are probably going to die. I really don't understand what those guys in the Immortal Salary Bureau are thinking!"

The river goddess girl continued, "We're doing alright on both sides of the Jingyue River; we can make a living by fishing. But I've heard that people are starving to death in other places."

The key issue is that if this continues, the displaced people will flee, and the villages along the riverbank will likely suffer as well.

They're suffering because no one's offering me anything, so I'm suffering along with them, understand?

"If all else fails, let's go to the mountains. Didn't you say Wolongtan is a huge place?" Huang Yu'er comforted her.

"You think I don't want to? It's just that the time isn't right yet... Going there would only cause him trouble."

When the River God of Jingyue spoke these words, a trace of longing and sorrow appeared in his large, bright eyes, which were like jewels.

However, once the elixir entered the mouth, it vanished instantly.

"His Majesty said that the main ingredient of this elixir is scarce recently, so you should use it sparingly," Huang Yu'er reminded him upon seeing this.

"You're wrong, Yu'er, you're so wrong." The River God of the Pure Moon shook his head, his two braids stirring the river water. "You must remember, it's not that I want to eat, it's that the child is too greedy, do you understand?"

Huang Yu'er didn't say anything more, and turned around to start moving the spirit fruits into the cave.

And just then...

"Li Xuanxiao of Miaozhen Temple requests an audience with the River God of Jingyue!"

A sound came from the surface of the river to the bottom.

"Li Xuanxiao?" The River God of Jingyue raised his head, took a bite of the fruit, and suddenly felt that the name sounded familiar.

at the same time.

Under the moonlight, on the bank of the Jingyue River, a Taoist priest with graying temples stood quietly with a long sword on his back.

Li Xuanxiao was seriously injured while fighting the evil female corpse in Jiangning Village, so he decided to stay in Yunzhou to recuperate.

Having just recovered from his injuries a few days ago, he encountered a severe drought in the northern border region after leaving the pass.

He knew all too well that if the Xiu family did not intervene in the face of such a natural disaster, several places in Yunzhou would surely become a living hell.

Li Xuanxiao immediately went to see the City God and the Earth God to question why they hadn't used their magic to bring rain, but he was turned away each time.

Seeing the scene of people exchanging children to eat, Li Xuanxiao could not stand idly by, driven by a sense of morality.

So he made a decision.

The rain that the City God and the Earth God dare not send, I, the Taoist priest, will send!

Even if the imperial court investigates, he will only face death anyway.

All he ever sought in his life was peace of mind.

The true nature of one's heart cannot be controlled by life and death.

The Taoist school has techniques for bringing rain, but to make the rain heavier, one needs to find a place with abundant water.

Jingyue River is naturally the first choice.

Li Xuanxiao was only concerned about being stopped by the Jingyue River God for plundering the water elemental essence of this place, so he came here to inform him.

Splash---

The water rippled, and the River God poked half his head out from underwater, staring warily at Li Xuanxiao, and asked, "What?"

"Li Xuanxiao has met the River God."

Li Xuanxiao bowed respectfully and said, "I wish to perform a rainmaking ritual here..."

He explained everything in detail and said earnestly, "Please rest assured, River God, I am not asking you to take action, I just hope you will not interfere."

"You Taoist priest, are you courting death?"

The river goddess stared at Li Xuanxiao, her eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

The City God and the Earth God are guilty of a capital offense if they allow rain to fall without authorization, and the same applies to the Xiu family.

Once discovered, at best their cultivation will be abolished, and their path to immortality will be severed.

In severe cases, they may be directly imprisoned in the prison, where they will suffer a fate worse than death!

"Everyone is destined to die," Li Xuanxiao said calmly. "It's better to die a quick and painless death than to live a miserable life."

"...What a madman."

The River God of the Pure Moon looked at Li Xuanxiao, then suddenly tossed out a spiritual fruit, saying, "Here you go. Just stay away from my cave."

A wave rose, and the river goddess girl vanished.

Li Xuanxiao looked at the spiritual fruit in his hand, his wrinkles widening, and suddenly he smiled.

"Thank you, River God."

The old Taoist priest tucked the fruit into his robes and turned to leave.

The twenty-first year of the Jingtai reign.

The seventh day of the fifth lunar month.

Li Xuanxiao, a wandering Taoist priest from Miaozhen Temple, held a ritual in Fengyang County, Yunzhou, to pray for rain and offer sacrifices to the heavens!

Some locals witnessed the old Taoist priest standing on the altar, holding a magic sword, blood flowing from his seven orifices, his figure swaying, the long sword in his hand stirring up the wind and clouds.

On that day, dark clouds covered the sky, heavy rain poured down, and strong winds howled around Fengyang County, Yunzhou!
