From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"I?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Tru belatedly realized what they were thinking and hurriedly refused, "No, no, I can't go down the chimney."

"That is a problem."

Xiaoyu also figured it out: "The fact that Santa Claus can enter other people's houses through narrow chimneys... if Santa Claus isn't just fat, then he must have used magic. Tru, even though you are Dad's apprentice, if you want your body to 'transform,' you probably need to lose weight first."

"Then I'll be Santa Claus."

Jiang Liu noticed a picture of Santa Claus hanging on a nearby wall. With a twist of his body, he transformed into a kind, white-bearded old man, wearing a large red hat, a red cotton-padded coat, black leather boots, and a pair of small, transparent glasses.

"He looks exactly like Santa Claus!"

The Christmas elf circled the river once, then exclaimed in surprise, "Truly worthy of being an immortal god!"

"Lu Jin, Sister Mu Ying, want to come along?"

Jiang Liu chuckled and extended an invitation to the two of them.

“Then let’s go deal with Daolong!” Chen Long said, then said to Xiaoyu, “Xiaoyu, and Parker, you two stay here and wait for us to rescue Santa Claus.”

"You can't just stay here obediently!"

Xiaoyu had already asked a nearby elf for a red and blue elf costume, quickly put it on, and jumped onto the sleigh first. "I'm going to go deliver presents with Santa Claus!"

"Me too!"

Parker chimed in, and also asked a nearby elf for an elf outfit.

"...Never mind, I can't be bothered with you."

Chen Long sighed, but as long as he didn't have to face Dao Long with them, following Jiang Liu, this temporary Santa Claus, to deliver gifts to children all over the world was not a bad choice.

Jiang Liu then said to Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying, "Why don't you two change into elf costumes too?"

"Or should we consider it..."

Before Lu Jin could finish speaking, the nearby sprites transformed into a whirlwind, quickly circling around Lu Jin and Duanmu Ying several times, and changing them into two perfectly fitting sprite outfits.

Looking at the red cotton-padded jacket and skirt she was wearing and the big red hat on her head, Duanmu Ying jumped up and exclaimed in surprise, "It fits perfectly!"

"Of course, this was made especially for you."

The little elf holding a tailor's ruler laughed, "It uses magical silk threads, which can ensure that the body is in the most comfortable state, whether in a scorching volcano or in a freezing snowfield."

"Intimate?"

As if she had thought of something, Duanmu Ying punched the tailor elf on the head, her cheeks slightly red, and scolded, "Are Christmas elves this indecent?"

The little tailor elf, struck by this blow, immediately closed her eyes and fainted to the ground.

Looking at the brightly colored elf outfit she was wearing, Lu Jin felt a little embarrassed, her face flushed, and she said, "This outfit... is for children, isn't it?"

"Don't mind me, I'm dressed in bright red! Hurry up and get on the sled, it's time to deliver gifts to the children."

Jiang Liu ignored Lu Jin's complaints, took the lead, leaped onto the sled, glanced at the mountain of gift bags at the back of the sled, then picked up the list on the seats and unfolded it to take a look—

Good guy!

It's at least two billion!

"set off!"

Once Lu Jin, Duanmu Ying, Xiao Yu, and Parker were all on the sleigh and fastened their seatbelts, the Christmas elves opened the factory gates.

"drive!"

Jiang Liu flicked the reins, and the nine reindeer at the front of the sled trotted out of the factory against the wind and snow, galloping towards the snow slope directly in front of them.

Jingle bells!

Jingle bells!

Jingle bells!

Accompanied by the bells around the reindeer's necks, Rudolph, the lead reindeer with the red nose, was the first to leap into the air and soar into the sky.

The other eight reindeer, their hooves creating icy snowflakes, followed closely behind the lead reindeer Rudolph, together propelling the sled into the air.

Once airborne, the metal skids beneath the sled produced streaks of light, supporting the sled as it moved smoothly through the air.

"Is this a magical artifact?"

Lu Jin peeked out of the sled's range and looked down. All he could see was a vast ice field and two streaks of light behind the sled.

“Of course! Otherwise, how could this thing fly?” Duanmu Ying said, feeling the breeze blowing in her face, and sighed, “This sled can also insulate against the cold wind outside.”

But Jiang Liu knew perfectly well that the sled's ability to take flight was based on the utilization of the Zhou weather pattern, and also on the power of the worship of all living beings.

That's right!

It's faith!

The world's worship of Santa Claus has generated an incredible spiritual power, which has transformed into faith and given the reindeer and sleigh extraordinary flying abilities.

Therefore, even if the weather changes, as long as people have not forgotten Santa Claus, these reindeer and this sleigh can continue to fly.

Before long, Jiang Liu and his group rode their sleds and left the Arctic, returning to San Francisco—Jiang Liu was preparing for an "eastern journey" from west to east.

Upon arriving at the roof of the first house, Duanmu Ying and Lu Jin stood guard on the sled, while Jiang Liu, based on the list, found the gift that the child wanted and climbed down the chimney.

Jade and Parker followed closely behind.

After placing the gifts next to the Christmas tree in front of the fireplace, Jiang Liu was about to turn around when Xiao Yu stopped him, pointing to the cookies on the tea table next to him and saying, "After Santa Claus delivers the gifts, he also eats the cookies that this family has placed."

"Crack."

Jiang Liu didn't waste any time. He picked up a cookie, took a bite, and said, "Luckily it was me. If it were Tru, even with his strong physique, he probably wouldn't be able to eat all the cookies from the two billion-dollar family."

"Dad! There's a fake Santa Claus stealing cookies!"

Just then, a little girl in pajamas entered the living room, saw Jiang Liu eating cookies, and Xiao Yu and Parker dressed as elves, and shouted towards the room.

"what?"

The owner of the house, a burly man about two meters tall, kicked open the door and saw Jiang Liu, Xiao Yu, and Parker, three strangers. He grabbed a nearby baseball bat, pulled the little girl behind him, and smashed it down on Jiang Liu's head.

Boom!

Jiang Liu did not dodge and took the blow head-on.

And look at that baseball bat—

It had already bent and was now wrapped around Jiang Liu's forehead...

# Chapter 913 Working Only One Day a Year Isn't Easy (Part 2)

The fake Santa Claus was unharmed, but the baseball bat was bent. The homeowner stood there dumbfounded, at a loss for what to do.

"a ha ha ha!"

Jiang Liu laughed in Santa Claus's tone, took the baseball bat off his head, and handed it back to the burly man. "I'm so sorry for trespassing into your house, but if I don't do this, I won't be able to give your child a present."

"you?"

The man regained his senses, but still didn't believe Jiang Liu was Santa Claus, thinking he was just a psychopathic thug who had trained his brain.

"Perhaps, as Santa Claus, I need to learn about the laws of this era."

Jiang Liu jokingly picked up the gift bag, ran out the front door under the astonished gazes of the man and his daughter, and whistled towards the roof.

Upon hearing the signal, Lu Jin quickly pulled on the reindeer, urging it to run and land on the roof. It carried Jiang Liu, Xiao Yu, and Parker, and amidst the shocked gazes of the male homeowner and the little girl who had run out of the house, Lu Jin rode the reindeer soaring into the sky, disappearing without a trace.

"Is it really Santa Claus?!"

The man couldn't help but recall the joy of receiving gifts at Christmas when he was a child... He had assumed the gifts were from his parents, but this scene shattered his perception.

"Dad! Santa Claus gave me a present!"

At that moment, his daughter woke him up, holding a camera in her hands—

He knew that with his own financial resources, he would never give such a precious camera as a Christmas gift to his daughter.

and so!

Santa Claus is real!

Leaving aside the parents' excitement, Lu Jin, who was driving the sled, asked with a smile, "Brother Jiang, it seems the first time you delivered the gift didn't go very smoothly?"

"Sending the gift is a success in itself." Jiang Liu shrugged, completely unconcerned.

Xiaoyu was glad that Tru hadn't listened to her advice to dress up as Santa Claus. Otherwise, even though Tru was strong and had learned to cultivate Qi, if he had suddenly been hit on the head with that person's baseball bat, he probably would have needed to rest for three to five hours to recover.

"I'm curious how Santa Claus manages to deliver over two billion gifts overnight, with such precision?"

Duanmu Ying flipped through the list, which stretched for who knows how many kilometers, and complained, "With such a huge number of items, if we had to deliver gifts to each household and follow the complete process of 'climbing the chimney, placing the gift, and eating the cookie,' even if it only takes thirty seconds to complete the task for one household, it would take at least 1,900 years to complete this list of two billion items!"

"It's not easy to only work one day a year."

Jiang Liu sighed, his eyes sparkling like lotus blossoms, reflecting the stars in the sky, surveying the entire city of San Francisco, checking and matching the names on the list with the gifts behind the sled, and then exhaling a breath.

In an instant, thousands upon thousands of gift boxes floated out of the gift bag.

Jiang Liu said, "Children! Throw the gifts down!"

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Parker thought Jiang Liu wanted to throw away some of the gifts to relieve the pressure.

Without hesitation, Xiaoyu grabbed a gift box and threw it off the sled. The gift box floated straight into the chimney of one of the houses, and then a cookie shot out of the chimney, rose up, and landed in Xiaoyu's hand.

"magic!"

Immediately, Parker also joined in the gift-giving segment.

At this moment, countless gifts fall into every household, either placed beside the Christmas tree or nestled in the red Christmas stockings hanging near the closet, while countless cookies, candies, and other snacks rise from the chimney like clouds, drifting into the large red gift bag at the back of the sleigh.

in this way--

Jiang Liu precisely distributed the gifts, Lu Jin was in charge of driving the sled, and Duanmu Ying used a pen to mark the names of those who had received the gifts with a checkmark.

As for Xiaoyu and Parker...

In fact, the act of these two giving gifts could have been omitted, but since they came along, they should naturally feel involved.
