Chapter 99 Receiving Gifts
It was already midnight when Xu Zhoujiao returned to the general's mansion.
The general's mansion, where people were supposed to turn off the candles and go to sleep, was still brightly lit.
Even the doorman was still seeing guests off.
Xu Zhoujiao looked at the visitor's back with a puzzled look on her face, muttering to herself: Why are you not sleeping at this hour of night? What kind of a place are you coming to...
Before she even stepped into the house, she spotted a sneaky figure behind the stone lions at the door of her house.
Xu Zhoujiao directly flashed behind the peeper.
She discovered that the peeper was actually Chilong!
"Chilong, what are you doing sneaking around like that?"
Chi Long was startled by the person who suddenly appeared behind him. He jumped out of his place and took precautions against the newcomer.
Xu Zhoujiao folded her hands and walked out of the shadows. She said to Chi Long, who was slow to realize what was happening, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Chi Long, what can I praise you for!"
"When you peek, can you please cover the dragon horns on your head?"
"You're so exposed, it's too conspicuous!"
When Chilong saw that it was Xu Zhoujiao who came out, he suddenly became at a loss.
He touched his dragon horn and said a little embarrassedly: "I, I don't know how to collect my dragon horn."
"When the cave master brought me out before, he always let me wear the Sky Sealing Cloak."
As Xu Zhoujiao got closer, Chilong lowered his head and spoke in a lower and lower voice.
He secretly glanced at Xu Zhoujiao's reaction, fearing that she would despise him for being useless.
Xu Zhoujiao stared straight at the red dragon's horn and gently touched it with her hand: "As a dragon of pure blood, how could you not be able to retract your own horn?"
He felt Xu Zhoujiao's fingertips gently stroke his dragon horns.
Chilong felt an electric current spreading from the place where she touched to his whole body.
This strange feeling that makes the scales all over the body explode makes the red dragon want to escape but also want to be greedy.
He felt his heart beating faster and faster.
Xu Zhoujiao noticed that the red dragon scales on the red dragon's temples were becoming redder and brighter.
Then he asked: "Red Dragon, how is your dragon scale......"
Before she finished speaking, Chilong covered his temples tightly and said loudly: "I'm fine, nothing happened."
"I just wanted to tell you that the cave master asked me to stay by your side and keep an eye on your every move."
"Okay, I'm done. I'm going back to the City God Temple!"
After saying that, Chi Longtou ran away without looking back, fearing that Xu Zhoujiao would continue to ask him something.
However, the red dragon that ran away did not go far.
He hid at the corner of the street and secretly watched Xu Zhoujiao walk into the general's mansion.
He leaned against the wall and reached out to touch his dragon horn, which still had the touch of Xu Zhoujiao.
Chilong has been waiting for Xuzhou Jiao to come to him all day.
He sat on the ground obediently, staring at the closed door.
Until I saw the person who opened the door was Zhu Zhi.
The person who came was not her.
There was a hint of disappointment and loneliness in his eyes.
Zhu Zhi took him back to the City God Temple and told him: "Today a distinguished guest suddenly came to visit, and the master went to entertain him first. Before leaving, the master specifically told me to take you back to the City God Temple and take good care of you."
After hearing Zhu Zhi's words, Chilong's lost heart became active again.
It turned out that she wanted to come and pick me up.
Chilong behaved obediently in front of Zhuzhi, but when Zhuzhi was away, he sneaked out of the City God Temple.
He stayed at the gate of the general's mansion waiting for Xu Zhoujiao to come back. Even though Shen Tu and Yu Lei warned him many times on the door, he did not move at all.
The hiding Chilong stayed at the corner of the street until the candles in the general's mansion were extinguished, and then slowly returned to the City God Temple.
As soon as she entered the mansion, Xu Zhoujiao was forced to face a room full of gifts and had no idea what was happening on the street corner.
Xu Zhoujiao looked at the gift boxes that filled the main hall. Her eyes widened instantly and her face was full of surprise.
That surprised expression is so funny.
Xuzhou Jiao picked up a box and shook it next to her ear. Seeing her mother coming in from the outside, she asked, "Mom, where did all this come from?"
Ying Tian sighed and said, "These are gifts from people who came to congratulate you on becoming the City God."
"All the famous families in Kyoto are here. Look, the one who just left is the last one today."
Xu Zhoujiao, who was unpacking the box, asked back, "The last one today? Why do you say it as if there will be another one tomorrow?"
With an inexplicable smile on her face, Yingtian picked up a stack of visiting cards from the table beside her and handed them to Xu Zhoujiao.
"Just look for yourself. The visiting invitations are already scheduled for half a month later."
Xu Zhoujiao flipped through a few books and laughed out loud: "These people are really considerate of you. They have arranged their own schedules."
Xu Zhoujiao pointed to one of the books and said, "Look at what this one says: The general's mansion is crowded with people, and I dare not disturb them without permission, so I respectfully send you a visiting card. I hope the general and his wife will allow me to visit you in half a month."
"Hu Guangheng, respectfully presented!"
Xu Zhoujiao raised the visiting card in her hand and asked her mother, "Mom, who is this Hu Guangheng?"
Ying Tian took the visiting card from her hand, glanced at it and said, "This Hu Guangheng is a well-known wealthy family in Kyoto, and he is a kind person. It's a pity that he is over 40 and still has no child."
"His wife took seventeen concubines for him, but she didn't give birth to any of them."
As she said this, Yingtian covered her mouth and laughed secretly.
Xu Zhoujiao had a hunch that her mother's next words would not be good!
"I guess he must be here to ask you for a child!"
Sure enough~
Xu Zhoujiao rolled her eyes at her mother: "I am going to be the City God, not the Goddess of Childbirth!"
"Instead of worshipping me, you might as well go to the Temple of the Goddess of Childbirth more often~"
Ying Tian looked at her teasingly: "Do you think he has never been there? He has been begging for more than ten years."
"This is just a last-ditch effort. Please do this!"
Xu Zhoujiao stared at her mother with a look of astonishment, as if struck by lightning: Death, should we try to save the dying horse?
Yingtian was amused by her expression and laughed so hard that tears came out of the corners of her eyes.
At this time Xuzhou He happened to enter the main hall. He looked at his mother who was laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her back, and then at his sister who looked like she had swallowed a fly alive.
What's going on here?
Yingtian looked at her son coming in and tried hard to stop laughing.
She called Xuzhou He and Xuzhou Jiao to walk to the mountain of gift boxes and said, "It just so happens that you are all here. Your father said that it is not a good thing to have so many things piled up in our house. He asked me to ask you how to deal with this matter."
Xuzhou He walked over and casually opened a gift box.
Inside is a pair of transparent jade ruyi.
No matter the size or the workmanship, it is a rare and top-quality product.
"Hey, these noble families are really willing to spend a lot of money. Mom, since there are so many good things, why don't you take them!"
Xu Zhoujiao took out the jade ruyi and examined it carefully. It was indeed a rare and precious item.
"Collect, not only collect, but collect more!"
Yingtian looked at her two children, both of whom expressed their desire to continue accepting gifts. She was a little confused about what they were thinking.
"Will this give people an excuse to accuse us of this?"
Xuzhou He smiled and said, "Mother, these things were brought into the mansion under the pretext of being gifts for the new City God, right?"
Looking at Yingdian's head, Xuzhou He continued, "Since it is a gift to the new City God, it must be carried into the City God Temple. How can it give us an excuse?"
Xu Zhoujiao took over and continued, "Yes, these things are to be carried into my City God Temple and have nothing to do with the General's Mansion."
"When I officially enter the City God Temple, all these things must be carried around the city three times before being brought into the Temple."
"I have great use for all these things."
"So, Mom, I'll accept all the gifts for the past half month!"
Ying Tian looked at her daughter who had already made up her mind and asked directly, "Jiaojiao, are you going to use this money to benefit the people?"
Xu Zhoujiao nodded, took out the token given to her by the Changsheng River God, and said, "Now the entire Changsheng River is under my control. I plan to reroute the river."
As she spoke, she reached for the gift box at hand and said, "They are the wages of the people who come here to work."
Hearing that his daughter wanted to change the river course, Ying Tian clapped his hands and praised: "It's good to change the river course. In this way, the river water in the rainy season will no longer flood the people's crops, and the people's lives will be better."
Xuzhou Hefa burst into a hearty laugh and said, "My sister has made such a big move since she took office. As a brother, I naturally cannot fall behind."
"I will be your supervisor for free, and I will even build a porridge stall to provide food for the people working there!"
Ying Tian nodded quickly at the side: "Yes, yes, mother will go too, mother will help distribute porridge."
Seeing her whole family supporting her so much, Xu Zhoujiao felt full of strength.
She looked at the pile of gifts and said to herself: I promised you that when you are reborn again, you will live a rich and good life.
I will keep working hard for this day.
In the underworld, the Emperor of Fengdu projected all her actions and thoughts into the New Life Valley.
Hundreds of thousands of ghosts were deeply touched when they saw Xu Zhoujiao's dedication and hard work.
Many of them quietly withdrew from their original teams and turned to the animal realm.
They would rather work like slaves than fail and contribute their own efforts to the ideal prosperous world.
Even if it means burning your own life, you must bring a ray of light to this world.
PS: Chilong is the second male lead in this article. He is just stupid temporarily.
