Chapter 52 The Jade Emperor bestows the title, Venus proclaims the decree, and the Water Official ac
The Jade Emperor had just returned to the Lingxiao Palace.
As soon as he sat down, he waved to his attendant and immediately summoned the Water Official Emperor to come and pay his respects.
Seeing this, Venus Li Changgeng, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart and began to ponder.
You should know that the reason he was able to become the Jade Emperor's most trusted minister was because of his exceptional insight and quick wit.
Before long, the Water Official Emperor hurriedly arrived at the palace.
This water official was always low-key among the gods in Heaven, even somewhat transparent, and was almost never personally summoned by the Jade Emperor.
This sudden summons left him completely bewildered, his heart leaping into his throat.
He stepped forward tremblingly, bowed, and said in a slightly trembling voice:
"Your subject, the Water Official, pays his respects to Your Majesty."
However, after performing the rites, the water official found that the Jade Emperor did not respond at all, and he became extremely anxious.
He felt that every minute and every second was extremely agonizing, and large beads of sweat seeped from his forehead. He kept wiping his forehead with his sleeve for fear of losing his composure in front of the palace.
At this time, the Jade Emperor,
His slender fingertips tapped lightly on the table as he pondered how to phrase his words.
After all, the reason for summoning the Water Official Emperor was merely to promote a minor intern river god at Guanjiang Estuary to a full position. Such a trivial matter was truly difficult for him to mention.
Both sides were in an awkward situation.
Time passed slowly, and the entire hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
After a long silence, the Jade Emperor, as if having made up his mind, turned his head slightly and said in an almost inaudible voice:
"Then... let's officially appoint the trainee river god of Guanjiang Estuary."
Before he could finish speaking, the water official was first stunned, then looked up in disbelief and exclaimed in astonishment:
"what?"
The water official thought he had misheard; the Jade Emperor was appointing a minor river god?
An intern? A river god in a small local river basin?
What kind of powerful background must one have to get the Jade Emperor to speak up personally!
Venus gently tugged at the Water Official's sleeve and whispered:
"Your Majesty's decree, obey it at all times!"
The water official seemed to wake from a dream and quickly bowed his head in agreement.
Venus, however, rolled his eyes and immediately came up with a plan.
There must be something significant going on behind the fact that His Majesty personally descended to the mortal realm and personally designated a specific region!
Thinking of this, he quickly bowed and stepped forward, proposing to the Jade Emperor:
"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, there are very few deities serving at the mouth of the Guanjiang River, and they may not be able to fully protect the peace and tranquility of the local people. It would be better to send more people down there, so that we can ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor's fingers, which were lightly tapping the chopping board, suddenly stopped.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed intently on Venus.
Venus spoke again:
"Your Majesty, I have several clever and capable celestial officials under my command. If Your Majesty permits, I will immediately dispatch them to the mouth of the Guanjiang River to assist the newly appointed River God in protecting this place."
As soon as he finished speaking, a smile slowly appeared on the Jade Emperor's face.
He glanced meaningfully at Venus, nodded, and said:
"Well, Chang Geng, you've always been reliable and dependable, so I'll leave this matter to you to handle personally."
Upon hearing this, Venus was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.
No wonder he could be the Jade Emperor's confidant. With just a word, he placed his own people in Guanjiangkou. In this way, no matter what schemes the Jade Emperor had in the mortal realm, they would never be easily leaked.
Moreover, by increasing manpower, the area can be protected more comprehensively and meticulously.
This is a win-win situation!
The two of them stood on auspicious clouds and plummeted straight down to the bank of the Guankou River like shooting stars.
As they approached the riverbank, the water official gently waved his hand while chanting incantations. Suddenly, ripples spread across the once calm river, and then a figure slowly rose from the water.
The river god still looked sleepy, but when he saw the person in front of him, his eyes widened in horror.
The reason was simple: the people standing in front of them were important figures from the Heavenly Court—Li Changgeng and the Water Official!
To him, a mere river god, Li Changgeng was like a legendary figure.
Venus! The secretary to the chairman of the head office, his status is self-evident; while the water official beside him is a great god who governs a region of water, equivalent to the chairman of a branch office.
Upon seeing these two powerful figures arrive in person, the River God felt his legs go weak, and even his hands trembled as he bowed in respect.
"This humble... this lowly deity pays respects to the two venerable immortals."
Li Changgeng looked the river god up and down, pondering to himself:
This god looks ordinary and has nothing special about him, but since he was personally appointed by His Majesty, he should not be underestimated or neglected.
Thinking of this, Li Changgeng took a step forward, cleared his throat, and then solemnly began to read the imperial edict.
"Little River God, receive the decree. His Majesty has ordered that you be appointed as the legitimate River God of Guanjiang Estuary, in charge of all affairs in this area."
"Wh...what?!"
Upon hearing this news, the river god's eyes, which had been narrowed to slits, suddenly widened, as if he could not believe what he had just heard.
It should be noted that even if the Dragon King of the East Sea wanted to pass on his throne to his descendants, he might not be able to gain the Jade Emperor's attention and receive a personal decree of reward.
But now, how could such an insignificant little river god receive the honor of being personally bestowed the title of god by the Jade Emperor? For a moment, the river god was stunned into silence.
Seeing that he had even forgotten to express his gratitude, Shui Guan thought to himself, "He really is the god of my department, just like him!"
You're a good-for-nothing.
"Hurry up and thank the emperor!"
The river god knelt down in a daze and kowtowed to the heavens.
My heart was filled with a turbulent storm, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.
The Jade Emperor bestowed the title, Venus proclaimed the decree, and the Water Official accompanied the procession.
What an immense honor!
I must show off to that little girl!
Venus stood atop a cloud, surveying the Guanjiang Estuary for a long time.
In the Heavenly Court, he is Venus, but when it comes to his abilities, who can compare to him and secretly fear this great killer star?
What he was determined to investigate was quickly resolved.
"Yao Ji".
His expression darkened, and his heart trembled.
"No, we need to send more people."
This matter is of utmost importance. Since His Majesty is determined to protect it, he must handle this matter well.
Yang Jiao returned home.
All I could see was my little brother hugging the big milk bottle, standing at the door looking on longingly.
The moment they saw me return, their eyes lit up with joy.
As soon as she approached,
Little Yang Jian spread his arms to block the door, slammed the empty milk bottle on the ground, and acted as if to say, "If you don't fill my bottle with milk today, I won't let you in."
Yang Jiao stepped forward helplessly, shook her head, and said:
"You're such a big person, why do you still want to be hugged?"
He then opened his arms and hugged Yang Jian.
She released him immediately upon touching him, then walked around him and went into her house.
Xiao Yangjian's face turned red instantly.
Before he could even discern the emotions behind it, he stomped his foot angrily and muttered:
"I don't want you to hug me!"
He grabbed the baby bottle and chased after it.
Like a little tail, he followed Yang Jiao wherever she went.
She stopped in her tracks.
Yang Jian also stopped behind her.
"what?"
He raised his chin, still thinking about last night, and muttered:
"Make milk!"
"Call me 'sister' and I'll make you some."
Yang Jian looked incredulous.
"You'll only call me that if you soak me."
Oh.
Yang Jiao left again.
"Then you can go hungry."
She had other things to do and didn't have time to make milk.
Yang Jiao took out the peach that her parents had left for her; its fragrance was delightful.
"System, what benefits will eating this peach bring me?"
This is a peach from a three-thousand-year-old immortal body. Eating it aids in cultivation and enlightenment, accelerates the cultivation process, and makes the body healthy and light.
Little Yang Jian, who was watching eagerly from the side, was drooling.
These peaches smell so good! If I eat one more, I'll be taller than my sister, right?
Let's see how she bullies me then.
Yang Jian stood on tiptoe and took a bite.
oooo~
Pounced empty.
Yang Jiao raised the peach in her hand and slapped him across the face with her other hand, knocking his head to the side.
"You're drooling all over my shoes!"
After saying this with obvious disdain, he even rubbed the top of his shoe on Yang Jian's pants without any hesitation.
[The host possesses Primordial Purple Qi, which will accelerate cultivation once it begins; the Peaches of Immortality will have little effect.]
[It is recommended to feed this to the system.]
Oh.
My brother's got his eye on the peaches of immortality, and even the damn system wants to join in the fun?
Then...
To the Great Sage!
Come to think of it, it's been almost a year since I last saw Kongkong.
I miss him, I miss him, I miss him.
I wonder if a few more hairs have grown?
Thinking of this, Yang Jiao immediately became impatient and was about to walk out when her clothes tightened around her waist.
Turning around, I only saw Yang Jian with his round head down, his expression hidden. After a long while, a muffled voice came from behind him:
"You're leaving again, aren't you?"
He raised his slightly reddened eyes, snorted, released his hand, then turned his head away, saying indifferently:
"Go away, go away, go away, and don't come home."
"Once I leave, I'll be the eldest son."
Yang Jiao used to think of him as her own younger brother, and that they were inseparable even without trying to get along. But now she realized that he was her younger brother.
I was wrong too.
Yang Jian is not arrogant.
He is bad at expressing himself.
"Erlang, your sister is just going out for a bit, she'll be back soon."
"I don't believe it!" Yang Jian made a face to hide his unusual emotions and ran to the door.
He plopped down on the threshold, with a huge empty milk bottle in front of him.
Yang Jiao walked over, patted his head, and gently coaxed him:
"I'm going to make some milk for Jian'er, a whole bottle full, and I promise I'll be back before you finish it."
Yang Jian silently moved the baby bottle, which he treasured so much that he even slept with, away from him...
This is the first time he has preferred not to drink milk.
"Where are you going? I want to go too."
