Chapter 290 What is Called a Husband



“He said something called ‘Offering’ last night, right?”

Biting Moon Flood Dragon tilted her head, pondering, not quite understanding what ‘Offering’ was.

But since it was something that person had helped her acquire, it must be something good.

She could feel that this mysterious energy called ‘Offering’ had very powerful force.

If used for hunting, perhaps it would be very effective.

It was just that there were too few offerings right now.

She thought regretfully.

But at that moment, the Biting Moon Flood Dragon on the riverbed suddenly shuddered, hearing a woman’s voice.

“… plea River God Lord, ensure my husband returns safely.”

“If my husband can return safely, I will daily offer incense and candles, and sacrifice sheep to fulfill my vow.”

The woman’s voice appeared incredibly abrupt, as though it was very distant.

Yet she was clearly under the water, how could someone be talking to her!

Biting Moon Flood Dragon looked around in panic, but saw only the quietly flowing river water, no woman in sight.

And the woman’s voice continued to sound, now with a hint of sobbing.

“… request River God Lord’s mercy, my husband has always been honest and upright. This time he traveled far as a debt collector for his employer, but he encountered a storm on the way, fell into the river, and disappeared without a trace.”

“Beg River God Lord’s compassion, ensure my husband returns home safely.”

“My husband, named Ji Bochang, is a native of Tianwan Village, Baizhou City…”

The woman’s low sobbing continued to echo, and Biting Moon Flood Dragon finally realized where the sound was coming from.

It was actually coming from that distant River God temple.

When she focused intentionally, her spirit seemed to enter the River God temple, standing on the temple’s table, and she saw the kneeling woman below.

As the woman’s mournful crying continued, she faintly felt a deep connection with the river she was in.

At that moment, her body seemed to merge into the Jade Water River, and the entire river’s currents fluctuated within her sensation.

In this mysterious sensation, she faintly felt she knew where the man named Ji Bochang was.

He was by a river bend far downstream of the Jade Water River.

“… Another mortal who wants to use me as a servant.”

Listening to the woman’s plea, she instinctively felt some disgust.

She wasn’t someone to be summoned by just anyone.

But as the woman spoke more and wept harder, listening to that crying and wailing, she couldn’t help but become agitated.

“Do all these human females cry so much? It’s so annoying!”

With a thought, she forcibly blocked out the woman’s crying.

In an instant, no more noise from the River God temple could reach her mind.

This subconscious blocking was almost an instinctive act, as natural as eating or drinking, something she just knew how to do.

No one had taught her, but she had managed it anyway.

After her surroundings quieted, she immediately dived back into the water to continue hunting evil creatures, no longer concerning herself with the woman’s sobbing.

Yet she let two water monkeys escape from her attacks in succession.

She had grown in size, which should have made hunting these small creatures quite easy, making a mistake was unlikely.

The Biting Moon Flood Dragon, frustrated by the failed hunt, became somewhat angry.

For some reason, she thought again of the woman’s earlier crying…

“Ah, this is so annoying!”

Biting Moon Flood Dragon violently thrashed her body and swam towards the downstream river bend.

She could vaguely feel that the mortal named Ji Bochang was somewhere nearby.

This inexplicable sensation was profoundly mysterious, and Biting Moon Flood Dragon swam with the current for a long time before reaching that river bend.

The place was isolated, the woods dense, without even a road, completely wild.

Biting Moon Flood Dragon climbed onto the shore, following that vague sensation to a bed of reeds at the riverbank, where she saw a man with a pale face lying motionless in the reeds, barely breathing.

“Is this the mortal female’s husband?”

Biting Moon Flood Dragon leaned in close to Ji Bochang, examined him carefully, then confusedly tilted her head in thought.

“Right, what does ‘husband’ mean again…”

She didn’t quite understand, but he must be someone important.

Otherwise, that mortal wouldn’t have cried so heartbreakingly.

The Flood Dragon Yao stretched out its claws, grabbed the unconscious man, and carried him like a little chick back to the river.

The ten-meter-long Flood Dragon moved swiftly through the water, its claws parting the water around them so the unconscious man in its grip wouldn’t drown.

This way, it swam upstream and arrived at the River God Temple outside Baizhou City.

At that time, many people gathered outside the River God Temple to catch sight of the spectacle.

“I heard that after last night, the clay statue in the temple has changed!”

“Yes! I just went in and saw, the River God has shown his divine presence!”

“Now, the statue has become lifelike, just as if the River God himself has descended!”

“Tsk… Mr. Lu’s piety this time seems to have moved the River God.”

This newly built River God Temple was just a small temple by the river.

There was no surrounding wall or courtyard, just a solitary little house that housed the River God’s statue inside.

Now, due to the story of the River God’s divine manifestation spreading, many curious people from the city had rushed to see.

The small River God Temple was crowded inside and out.

People entered one after another to gaze at the lifelike and beautifully crafted River God statue.

Each person who came out was astonishment personified.

This, in turn, made the spectators outside even more curious and eager to go in for a look.

Just then, suddenly there was a surge of water on the nearby Jade Water River.

Immediately after, a figure floated up from the water, carried by the current towards the shore.

This miraculous and bizarre scene immediately attracted the attention of the onlookers outside the River God Temple.

“Hey! Wait! Look! Someone is coming out of the river!”

“Could it be a corpse? It’s not moving…”

When the unconscious man was carried by the water to the shore, the crowd immediately surrounded him.

On finding that the man was still breathing, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“Thank goodness, thank goodness, it’s not a corpse, he’s alive.”

“But who is this? How did he float up from the water?”

The people were immensely curious.

However, amidst the crowd, suddenly a woman’s cries of extreme joy were heard.

“Husband! It’s my husband!”

That woman, stumbling and faltering, pushed through the crowd and knelt next to the unconscious man, frantically checking that her husband wasn’t dead, then turned joyously toward the River God Temple behind her, knelt and began fervently kowtowing.

“Thank you, River God Lord, for your mercy! Thank you, River God Lord!”

“Your devoted follower will make offerings to you day after day!”

The woman’s cries of extreme joy caused the onlookers to glance at each other in surprise.

But soon, someone recognized the unconscious Ji Bochang.

“It’s Ji Bochang from Tianwan Village, who was lost in a storm! He’s actually alive?”

The joyous woman then excitedly shared with the people around her how she had prayed in the temple that morning and how her husband had floated to her by the water in the afternoon. This was the River God showing his powers!

Instantly, the crowd dispersed, all rushing to buy incense sticks.

“The River God really has shown his power! I’m going to ask the River God to bless me!”

“I’m also going to ask the River God to bless me!”

The Flood Dragon Yao, having already left the waters of Baizhou City, was lying in wait at the riverbed, preparing to ambush a water monkey ahead.

Suddenly, a surge of intensely hot, mysterious energy welled up inside her.

This energy, known as the power of incense, rushed into her continuously, frantically merging within her.

At her ears, suddenly arose a cacophony of the noisy, chaotic voices of mortals.

“Ask the River God Lord to bless me to pass my college entrance exams…”

“Ask the River God Lord to bless my mother-in-law to pass away tonight…”

“Ask the River God Lord…”

The sudden influx of immense incense power, along with the noisy, discordant voices of mortals, completely bewildered the Flood Dragon Yao.

Dumbfounded and bewildered, she stayed still in the water, momentarily forgetting about the water monkey nearby.
