Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 395 Fragrant Honey 40

Chongyu's expression was too revealing, so while the waiter was serving the dishes, Jiang Xinxin winked at her to ask her to be more restrained. Unexpectedly, as soon as the curtain was opened, a drunkard outside saw Chongyu's appearance and insisted on squeezing in to touch Chongyu.

The drunkard didn't look bad, nor did he dress badly, but his temperament and appearance were a bit vulgar, which ruined his already good looks. Chongyu listened to the drunkard's frivolous words and the way he wanted to make a move, and felt that things were not going well today. It was not easy to use magic power in the mortal world, so he used some tricks to push the man out of the door.

It just so happened that the waiter was also a smart guy. Although the current atmosphere tended to be conservative, there were not many restrictions on women. Therefore, this restaurant was accustomed to seeing single women coming to the restaurant. Those who worked as errand boys had already practiced this skill. So, they took advantage of Chongyu's force to help the man out of the door and closed the door of the private room. Anyway, the man was a drunk and could be fooled by a few nice words.

This was indeed the case. Although the drunkard was a bit of a gangster just now, he was completely dizzy after being pushed and swayed for two rounds by Chongyu. After being supported by the waiter who ran errands in the restaurant and saying a few good words to him, he was flattered to the point that he even forgot about his companions.

Jiang Xinxin and Chongyu didn't take this matter seriously, but they didn't expect that there would be a follow-up - because the dandy young man who broke into their box happened to be the pampered youngest son of Runyu's number one political enemy who is now a reincarnation!

In this life, Runyu followed the same script as Yongzheng in The Battle for the Throne, except that Yongzheng was adopted by Empress Xiaoyi when he was a child and was known as a half-legitimate son, while Runyu was the legitimate son of the late empress. It’s just that the crown prince today is the son of the empress dowager, so Runyu is happy to hide behind the crown prince and quietly accumulate strength.

In the past, Runyu passively accepted everything from the outside world, but now, after experiencing hundreds of years of hardships, his temperament has become much more extroverted. He understands that as the son of the late queen, he will have to die if he cannot inherit the throne. So although he seems too lazy to take care of things on weekdays, he has accumulated a considerable power in his hands.

Jiang Xinxin had no intention of interfering in worldly affairs, but when she brought Chongyu into the restaurant, she was seen by many forces. In particular, these people saw with their own eyes that she might have had a conflict with someone, and they did not investigate any of the ins and outs afterwards. So after Jiang Xinxin and Chongyu stayed in an inn at night, they were harassed a lot.

Originally, Chongyu had set up a simple maze at the door and windows to prevent people from entering without permission. He had no intention of harming anyone, but he did not expect that the people who came in the first half of the night were all ordinary people, while two people who knew magic came in the second half of the night and easily broke the maze set up by Chongyu.

Chongyu was furious, but it was Jiang Xinxin who said in person that immortals were not allowed to use their magic powers unless it was absolutely necessary, and they were not allowed to use their magic powers in front of others. So Jiang Xinxin was too lazy to stay in the city any longer, and simply dragged Chongyu and disappeared in the room of the inn, leaving the two groups of people who came later empty-handed, but they still achieved their own goals by taking advantage of the disappearance of Jiang Xinxin and Chongyu.

Chong Yu was very angry: "Emperor, you have protected mortals for so many years, why did you let them scheme against you like this?!"

If it were in the past, Jiang Xinxin might have put on the airs of a cultivator, feeling superior to ordinary people who only knew a few martial arts, and even harbored a bit of contempt for them. However, the tragedies in the world she saw after entering this world made her mind clearer, and therefore she believed that places where mortals gathered should be better to isolate the spiritual energy to prevent mortals from being disturbed by external forces.

Jiang Xinxin explained: "Whether it's gods, demons, or mortals, all sentient beings have both good and evil sides. I treat everyone equally, but I also know that this is not the case in reality. I am not allowing mortals to plot against the Green Emperor, but I am too lazy to get involved in any plots."

After thinking for a while, Jiang Xinxin said, "When the world was created, the dragon and phoenix tribes gained great merits by helping to stabilize the heaven and earth. Therefore, the way of heaven compensated them with the position of Heavenly Emperor and Empress, and also made them the leaders of all animals in the sky and on the earth. Logically speaking, it is reasonable for these two tribes that have occupied great fortune to prosper for a long time."

"However, now apart from the three dragons and three phoenixes in Taihao Palace, there are only two dragons and one and a half phoenixes outside. The phoenix still leads the bird tribe, but the dragon tribe has lost power over the water tribe and even almost lost the position of the Emperor of Heaven. This is because they later became arrogant and extravagant, wasting merits and committing murders, without ever cultivating themselves and reflecting on themselves."

Chongyu immediately gave up the idea of ​​secretly getting revenge. Mortals were too weak and could easily commit sins if they were not careful. She came to the mortal world to gain experience, not to cause trouble for herself.

Chongyu pulled Jiang Xinxin's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Emperor, this place is not fun. Let's go to another place. I don't believe that in this three thousand mortal worlds, we will meet such greedy guys!"

Jiang Xinxin took Chongyu to another mortal world to play, but she didn't expect that as soon as she landed, she met a town where the people actually used a pair of boys and girls, a pair of young men and women, and a couple in their twenties whose yin and yang complemented each other perfectly, as sacrifices to pray for rain!

Chongyu couldn't bear to see this, and he also remembered that he couldn't use his magic power in front of mortals, so he didn't care about his true form as a firebird, and jumped directly into the river to cast a spell to protect the people.

Jiang Xinxin changed into the appearance of a middle-aged man and went forward to ask about the situation. He found out that it had not rained in the town for three years, and the only river for water was occupied by the so-called river god. The god demanded the sacrifice of three men and three women every year before allowing them to draw water from the river, pass through, and fish and catch shrimps.

Chongyu secretly rescued the six people behind the crowd, and fled from the river for five or six miles before finding a deserted place to go ashore. Jiang Xinxin saw that the one causing trouble in the river was just a white shrimp spirit that had some magical powers but could not even change its shape.

There have been Qi Refiners in this world, but most of them could not even cultivate the Golden Elixir, and were only at the foundation-building stage at best. As a result, over thousands of years even the inheritance of Qi Refiners has been broken. The legacy of the Qi Refiners did allow medical techniques and witchcraft to develop and grow, which also resulted in a mere white shrimp spirit that came here accidentally being able to tease the people of a town with a few insignificant magic spells, and even treat the people as blood food for its practice.

It is easy to kill the white shrimp monster, and it is also easy to restore rainfall to this town. The difficult part is to change these ignorant people's idea of ​​using human lives as sacrifices.

Firstly, because of the white shrimp spirit, it rained in the surrounding towns, but as soon as it reached this town, no rain fell at all. This could only be done by creatures with magical powers or spiritual powers. So even if the rainfall here has been controlled for only three years, the worship of the gods cannot be eliminated in a short time.

Secondly, Jiang Xinxin had no intention of reinforcing the impression that gods existed, so even if she had to use supernatural means, she had to ensure to the greatest extent possible that these people would not restart the practice of human sacrifice again because of natural disasters.

Jiang Xinxin's brain suddenly short-circuited and she couldn't think of a suitable solution. Unexpectedly, Chongyu who came over directly suggested: "Why don't we cast a spell to slightly change these people's memories of the three years without rain? Anyway, there will always be people dying in a drought. Let's just assume that those innocent people who were sacrificed died due to lack of water."
