Chapter 542 Young Yang Jiao, did you drop this Golden Cloud Seed or this Silver Cloud Seed?
Yangjia Village, Guanjiang Estuary.
Even after more than a decade, when I returned home, everything was exactly the same as before.
The stone lions in front of the gate, the broken wooden stick that Yang Jian secretly hid behind the gate, the lotus pond in the courtyard, and a row of flower pots next to it.
And the eaves covered with wind chimes.
The bell rang.
Yao Ji walked slowly through her home, every corner bearing traces of her former life.
The stone bench was covered in dust. She went over and brushed it off, then pointed to the spot and suddenly recalled something, saying:
"When Jiao'er was little, she would lie here and get a spanking whenever she was naughty."
Yang Jiao said urgently: "Mother!"
Her gaze swept across the room, and seeing everyone's faces filled with barely suppressed laughter, she felt incredibly embarrassed.
Yao Ji looked at the lawn in the courtyard, where many weeds had grown rampant.
She seemed to see a young child squatting there, puffing out his cheeks and angrily pulling weeds.
As his mother's recollection was about to begin, Yang Jian felt a chill run down his spine and stepped forward as if facing a formidable enemy:
"Mother, we've all grown up."
There's really no need to reminisce about childhood.
There's nothing wrong with having a hobby like pulling weeds, but Yang Jian dares not imagine how he could continue to be the God of Justice if his other great childhood hobby were exposed to the public.
"Ahem, Mother, let's come inside."
Mosquito Taoist was the most excited, as she had grown up here with the three Yang siblings!
It's incredibly familiar.
"The mosquitoes haven't had any milk from home in a long time."
She didn't have Nezha's sensitive emotions. Although Mosquito Taoist was invisible when he was in the Yang family, it didn't affect her feeling that she was a member of the family.
They moved around the yard with practiced ease.
"Going home, going home."
After circling around several times, Mosquito Taoist suddenly stopped, looking puzzled: "I feel like someone's missing."
At this moment, Jingwei, in the Divine Beast Garden, screamed in alarm as she watched the divine beasts running rampant throughout the garden:
"Jingwei!"
Inside the mansion.
The servants had changed; the once young and strong men now had wrinkles on their faces.
He ran out of the kitchen, looked at Yang Tianyou and his group, and shouted excitedly:
"Master and Madam are back! Young Miss and Young Master are back!"
Before long, a few more heads peeked out from the gate.
They were all from the same hometown and had found jobs in the Yang family. Since the calamity in Heaven, they would occasionally come to the Yang residence to do odd jobs.
They were overjoyed to see their owners return.
"They're truly amazing! Look, they haven't changed at all."
“We’ve all grown old, but Madam is still the same as she was more than a decade ago. It’s like a miracle! We’ve finally waited for you to come back.”
Looking at these people, Yao Ji felt an even stronger sense of familiarity.
Yang Tianyou muttered to himself, "I haven't even had a proper time with my wife."
He didn't speak loudly.
But who among those present wasn't a deity or Taoist immortal? With their keen hearing, they heard every single word.
Yao Ji blushed and glared at Yang Tianyou.
Yang Jiao, with great perceptiveness, began to greet everyone:
"By the way, it's been a long time since we've been to Longmen at the mouth of the Guanjiang River. Let's go see the River God."
"Okay, okay." Mosquito Taoist walked over, took Yang Jiao's arm and shook it: "Let's go now."
Yang Jiao nodded, bid farewell to her parents, and gave them a slightly teasing look:
"Then Jiao'er will take her younger siblings to Guanjiang Estuary for a walk. We'll eat out tonight. If Father still thinks the children are in the way, Jiao'er can also take them to rest outside."
"Jiao'er." Yao Ji.
Yang Tianyou said calmly, "Yes, Jiao'er has grown up and is very sensible."
So, the very sensible Yang Jiao led a large group of people out of the Yang residence.
Only after everyone had disappeared through the doorway did Yang Tianyou put his arm around Yao Ji's shoulder:
"My wife, it's been more than ten years since we last met. Don't you have anything you want to say to your husband?"
……
Guanjiang Estuary, Longmen.
The river god emerged from the temple, watching the babbling river rush forward.
He looked at the group of people watching the sunset below the Dragon Gate with a displeased expression.
"Gentlemen, are you trying to stay on my territory?"
Beneath the Dragon Gate.
Maitreya, Ksitigarbha, Jade Tripod Immortal, Yun Zhongzi, Thousand-Mile Eye, and Wind-Following Ear all treated themselves as guests, enjoying the hospitality from the river god.
The all-seeing eye leisurely and happily said:
"Who would have thought that when I returned to Guanjiang Estuary, I'd be living like an immortal!"
Correction of "super-ear":
"To become a god without dying! Is that easy? Looking across the entire Three Realms, there are very few people who become gods without being listed on the Investiture of the Gods. We brothers are very fortunate."
The river god, grumbling, placed a plate of fruit on the table and said jealously:
"Who would have thought that you two would come back from your trip like gods?"
They were still gods working in the Heavenly Court, enjoying a leisurely life and high benefits.
He was a perfectly good river god, and now he's become a local official.
So he's the only one doing grassroots work, huh?
If only he had known, he would have gone out and made his own way with Yang Jiao back then.
Perhaps, the one in charge of the Milky Way now is not Marshal Tianpeng, but the River God?
However, imagination is just imagination. The River God is pragmatic. Although he complains, he actually loves excitement the most.
I just sat down and picked up a cup of tea, but hadn't even drunk it yet.
Suddenly, the person with the keen ears twitched their ears:
"Huh? Why do I hear so many familiar footsteps?"
Thousand-Mile Eyes looked up and was so shocked that he stood up: "Little Aunt, it's Little Aunt and the others who are back!"
With the help of the all-seeing and all-hearing eyes, the group looked towards the other side of the Dragon Gate.
Yang Jiao was the only one seen leading the way, followed by familiar faces.
"Yang Jiao!" Maitreya greeted him with squinted eyes.
"Why are you all here?!" Yang Jiao rushed over, her joy overflowing.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Congratulations on your family's reunion." Yun Zhongzi raised his glass.
Yang Jiao walked over happily, but before she could even sit down, everything went blurry.
The river god grabbed her sleeve and began to howl, "Yang Jiao, in the more than ten years you've been gone, you haven't come back to see me even once."
The River God is wronged!
He pointed to the monster at the bottom of the Guanjiang River, which had turned into a gold and silver statue, and said:
"There's no room left at the bottom of the river; have you forgotten your once-great achievements!"
Yang Jiao, who had vowed to help him develop the business at Guankou, abandoned him when he was still in the startup phase and went to Xiqi for more than ten years.
The river god felt something was missing every day as he earned merit.
"River God~" Yang Jiao looked at the squinty-eyed man in front of her and couldn't help but reach out and pull up his sleeve. The golden light was even more dazzling than before. She exclaimed in surprise, "Why is it even more dazzling?"
When the River God was reborn as a golden figure, he wasn't nearly as dazzling as he is now.
Could it be... that the River God has also advanced in rank?
Noticing Yang Jiao's confusion, the River God shyly nudged her, "Oh dear~ It's all because the Dragon Gate's reputation has grown so much. Over the years, it has leaped over several demonic beasts. I've settled my merits, so naturally I'm leaving~"
"Yes, it's time to settle the merits." Yang Jiao hadn't settled the merits for being granted godhood yet!
She turned to look at Yang Jian and Nezha, the two who had performed exceptionally well in the Investiture of the Gods, and asked:
"Have your merits been accumulated?"
"You're down." Yang Jian.
Nezha nodded.
Yang Jiao felt as if she had been struck by lightning. "Then why hasn't mine been settled?"
"That's impossible. Even we have the merits from the Investiture of the Gods." Yun Zhongzi stood up, circled Yang Jiao, and as if he had discovered something important, said, "Is it possible that you've done a lot of heaven-defying things, and the Heavenly Dao hasn't deducted your merits, which is already quite virtuous?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Jiao, who already felt she had suffered a loss, looked at Yun Zhongzi with a sinister expression and said:
"Master Yun Zhongzi, the things you're saying are getting more and more outrageous."
She gave him a push, seemingly in anger.
Unexpectedly, Yun Zhongzi underestimated Yang Jiao's strength, while Yang Jiao overestimated Yun Zhongzi's center of gravity.
Behind us flows the vast Guanjiang Estuary.
puff.
Yun Zhongzi fell directly into the river.
"Master Yun Zhongzi!" Yang Jiao exclaimed in shock.
Just as they were about to rush to rescue the person, the river god beside them suddenly stood up slowly.
The sunset cast an even brighter golden glow upon him, making the river god's light shine even brighter. He squinted his eyes and smiled contentedly.
"Here it comes, here it comes, another business opportunity."
The river god, lying on the edge of the Guanjiang estuary, turned back to Yang Jiao and asked:
"Young Yang Jiao, did you drop this golden cloud seed or this silver cloud seed?"
