night.

The heavy snow kept falling.

Hua Ying lay on the bed, preparing to rest.

After a busy day, she finally had a chance to rest, but the sudden knocking on the door annoyed Hua Ying.

As Hua Ying opened the door, she saw Qin Luo's smiling face. "What do you want with me so late?"

"I'll take you for a walk."

Qin Luo smiled.

Going out for a walk so late? Hua Ying looked at Qin Luo's smiling face. Did he want to confess his feelings to me?

Hua Ying nodded and smiled softly.

Just wait and see how I deal with you then.

"Hurry up and catch up."

Qin Luo had already walked quite far.

Hua Ying didn't have time to put her long hair up; her light purple hair was loose as she ran, her hair fluttering in the wind.

The wind was strong, and the snow was heavy.

The moonlight and the snow complement each other beautifully.

Hua Ying was a little nervous at first, but after a long time, Qin Luo didn't say anything or look at her.

Why isn't this guy saying anything?

Hua Ying was trembling with anger!

Are you cold?

Qin Luo saw the flower shadow trembling.

"A little."

Hua Ying blushed and nodded.

She didn't know why she lied.

Qin Luo said softly, "Then move closer to me."

Hua Ying was stunned for a moment. While she hesitated, Qin Luo took the initiative to approach her, bringing her a warm feeling.

I thought to myself that he still cares about me after all.

Hua Ying smiled, pursing her lips.

Qin Luo wondered if the snowstorm would stop. Before long, the snowstorm abruptly ceased, and the moonlight shone on the snow, which was as white as jade. There were shallow footprints in the snow.

Because they were so close, Qin Luo and Hua Ying's hands often touched when they walked.

Hua Ying's eyes and brows seemed to smile.

When we were halfway there.

Hua Ying's pretty face turned towards Qin Luo's shoulder.

The young Taoist priest paid no attention, but Hua Ying had a bold idea and reached out to hug Qin Luo's arm.

Are you that cold?

Qin Luo looked puzzled. Although Hua Ying's cultivation was sealed, she was still a cultivator with a very high level of cultivation.

"Who told you to call me out!"

Find a reason.

Hua Ying hugged him even tighter.

Qin Luo didn't say anything more.

Even her junior sister isn't as afraid of the cold as she is.

Hua Ying rested her head on Qin Luo's shoulder, feeling a warmth she had never experienced before, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Outside Baiyun Town, there is the City God Temple.

The City God Temple is not large, not because Zhao Fugui is unwilling to spend money, but mainly because he is afraid of overshadowing the Longhu Temple.

"Thank you for making this trip, Immortal Master!"

Lu Xian stood outside the City God Temple, cupping his hands in greeting to Qin Luo, with many powerful Yin spirits standing behind him.

"Greetings, Immortal Master!"

The spirits said in unison.

When Hua Ying saw them, she immediately understood that Qin Luo had asked her to come out for a walk because he was worried about her.

"snort!"

Hua Ying released Qin Luo's hand.

Qin Luo didn't know why she suddenly changed her expression.

Seeing that they were a handsome couple, Lu Xian smiled and asked, "Are you the Immortal Master's Daoist partner?"

Hua Ying turned her back to Qin Luosheng, sulking.

Qin Luo smiled and shook his head, saying softly, "No, she's someone I defeated."

Upon hearing the words "defeated opponent," Hua Ying turned around and stared intently at Qin Luo's retreating figure, but she was helpless and could only swallow her anger.

Lu Xian dared not inquire about their affairs. He took out a small booklet and said respectfully, "Immortal Master, these are the souls of those who had performed meritorious deeds in their previous lives."

Qin Luo opened the booklet. The first row was City God Lu Xian, the second row was Civil Judge Cui Yan and Military Judge Jiang Lie, the third row was the Day Wanderer God who roams the Light and the Night Wanderer God who roams the Darkness, and then there were the Six Departments. The original City God Temple had more than six departments, but now that there was a shortage of people, only six departments were set up. Behind them were some Yin Gods with even lower positions.

"Senior Lu, some of the spirits in the booklet are Yin spirits."

"Immortal Master, please don't worry about it. Please just confer titles on all the Yin spirits in the book."

Lu Xian looked at Qin Luo with a smile.

Qin Luo was somewhat puzzled. "Senior, I see many local gods on the list, and you are an old city god who has already been appointed by imperial decree. Wouldn't it be redundant for me to appoint you again?"

Lu Xian waved his hand, his eyes burning with fervor, "Since it's all the power of the Dao Ancestor anyway, I would like to ask the Immortal Master to bestow the title upon it again."

"All right!"

Qin Luo didn't find it troublesome.

He opened his arms, and the booklet floated in mid-air.

Hua Ying turned to look at Qin Luo, only to see that his back had become imposing, and his whole body was filled with golden light.

The conferment of titles upon gods is not permitted within the Great Xia territory. The Imperial Observatory is responsible for overseeing this. This guy knew I came from the Imperial Observatory, yet he deliberately dragged me out and wanted to confer a title upon a god right in front of me.

Hua Ying was almost brought to tears by Qin Luo.

"In the name of the Dao Ancestor, I hereby bestow upon Lu Xian the title of City God of Baiyun Town! I hereby bestow upon Cui Yan the title of Civil Judge of Baiyun Town's City God Temple! I hereby bestow upon Jiang Lie..."

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

Lu Xian and the other Yin spirits knelt down one after another.

Rays of golden light descended from the sky.

Hua Ying's expression was solemn. In the past, only the Emperor of Great Xia was qualified to confer deities within the Great Xia territory. She had been fortunate enough to witness it. The process of conferring deities was extremely complicated, requiring the Emperor's decree, the imperial seal symbolizing the fate of the nation, and special ceremonies.

Qin Luo's deification was happening like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Before Hua Ying could recover, all the Yin gods in the City God Temple had been conferred titles. Qin Luo returned the booklet to Lu Xian, saying, "I'll have to trouble Senior Lu and everyone else from now on."

Qin Luo bowed to the Yin Gods present.

Lu Xian and the two judges returned the greeting with clasped hands, while many Yin spirits could not accept the gesture and could only kneel.

A moment later, the candles in the City God Temple were lit at the same time, the spirits left one after another, and the area outside the City God Temple returned to quiet.

"Come with me."

Qin Luo entered the City God Temple.

Hua Ying watched Qin Luo's retreating figure, not wanting to listen to him, but her feet wouldn't obey her and she followed him.
