Don't let his current cheerful demeanor fool you; if he were out in the open, he'd probably terrify a whole bunch of gods. The only reason Su Xinhe treats An Ge this way is because Su Xinhe greatly admires her.
Yin Cang curiously sized up An Ge. Her gentle demeanor suggested she was a docile person, but he worried that her soft temper might lead to her being bullied. She was beautiful and a perfect match for Hu Jiu. Even though the Divine Realm was full of handsome men and beautiful women, their looks and气质 (qi zhi - a combination of temperament, bearing, and aura) still stood out.
Her strength goes without saying; she ascended to godhood with a management-attribute divine status in less than thirty years, something unimaginable before. Su Xinhe mentioned that her divine power was related to life, and this type of divine power is extremely strong. Barring unforeseen circumstances, she will undoubtedly become a top-tier deity in the Eastern Divine Realm.
In short, Yin Cang was extremely satisfied with An Ge, both in terms of appearance and ability. Unconsciously, his gaze towards An Ge also carried a smile.
Perhaps Yin Cang's gaze was too intense, for An Ge turned her head and met his eyes. Yin Cang, unfazed by being observed, offered a friendly smile.
"Who is this?" She had noticed this unfamiliar deity from the beginning, but had never had the chance to get to know him.
Before anyone could introduce us, Yin Cang took the initiative to say, "My name is Yin Cang, and I am a friend of God Su. I came to see you today because I am curious about who this chosen one who has stirred up the two realms is. You won't mind if I come uninvited, will you?"
Sure enough, An Ge's eyes lit up, and her guess was confirmed.
After hearing Yin Cang's introduction, An Ge was first stunned, then became excited, as if she had met her idol. "You, you are the legendary God Yin Cang?"
Yin Cang stared at An Ge for a moment, then nodded and said, "You've heard of me?"
"Of course, I heard Su Shen say before that if it weren't for you, I might not have been able to get this land deed. Also, my elder brother told me many of your glorious deeds, saying that you are a righteous god who hates evil as much as he hates it, and you are simply the light of the Eastern Divine Realm. I have always admired you and would like to find an opportunity to meet you."
In short, An Ge both praised Yin Cang and curried favor with Su Xinhe and Long Yutian. She silently gave herself a thumbs up.
Sure enough, after An Ge finished speaking, Su Xinhe's expression improved considerably. He looked at An Ge with some surprise. Although he hadn't had much contact with An Ge, he knew that this guy wouldn't do anything without a reason. Thinking of Yin Cang's divine power, Su Xinhe understood.
Long Yutian didn't think much of it, only feeling that his sister was really too considerate.
No one knew what the person being praised, Shen Yincang, was thinking, but his attitude towards An Ge was noticeably more friendly. "What light of the Eastern Divine Realm? Dragon God, you flatter me."
Long Yutian silently rolled his eyes. He should at least have suppressed his laughter when he said that. So this is the real Yin Cang, the great god. Besides, it wasn't an overpraise; he never actually said that.
An Ge shook her head in disapproval. "My elder brother wasn't exaggerating. As a new god, hearing about Lord Yin Cang's deeds fills me with admiration. I even think that your concern for both realms makes you a beacon of light for the divine realm."
Everyone... went too far.
"Ahem!" Hu Jiu suppressed a laugh. He knew An Ge's intention the moment she opened her mouth. His eyes were filled with a doting smile as he cooperated, "This is the first time I've heard Xiao Ge admire someone so much. But if it's Lord Yin Cang, then I can understand."
An Ge gave Hu Jiu a knowing look. "Of course, Lord Yin Cang is my role model. If you can, please write me a piece of calligraphy. I will definitely hang it in the lobby of the inn and admire it every day. It's not that I covet your calligraphy, but where we're from, if you admire someone, you want them to sign their name."
Yin Cang had heard other gods praise him openly or secretly before, and he had never liked it. But An Ge's sincerity in saying "I can't help but praise you because I'm too excited" made him feel happy.
"Haha, don't follow my example. My bad temper doesn't have a good reputation in the Divine Realm."
"What bad temper? I think you are very similar to my master in some ways. You are both tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Besides, you can show your true personality because of your strength. If you were weak and humble, the other gods would not say anything, but how many of them would respect you? So, it is said that no one is mediocre if they are not envied by the gods. You are the best."
Those words struck a chord with Yin Cang. He knew he had a bad temper all these years and had tried to control it, but always failed. This was the first time someone had said that his bad temper stemmed from having the right to be willful; thinking about it, it really was true.
"You're right. In the Divine Realm, strength speaks for itself. If you want to gain respect from others, all those fancy tricks are useless."
An Ge looked like she had learned something, as if she was about to take notes.
Su Xin and the Dragon God were dumbfounded. Good heavens, was this obedient and docile god the An Ge they knew?
Su Xinhe quietly moved to Hu Jiu's side. "Hu Jiu, your husband is so young, where did he learn all these smooth talk skills from?" Seeing Yin Cang laughing heartily, seemingly becoming close friends with An Ge despite their age difference, and considering that he had turned the Dragon God, whom he didn't get along with, into a powerful backer in just half a day, Su Xinhe was truly envious.
He's been in the Divine Realm for so long, but he doesn't have any powerful backers or even a close friend. The only time he's gotten close to Yin Cang, Hu Jiu, and the Dragon God has been in recent years.
Hu Jiu rolled his eyes at Su Xinhe, "My little Ge'er has always been popular because she is sincere, cute, well-behaved, and upright... If you can do these things, you can be one-tenth as good as her."
Su Xinhe… This was the first time he realized that Hu Jiu had poor eyesight. Even Long Yutian glanced at Hu Jiu speechlessly. He had a soft spot for An Ge, but he couldn't believe that someone as blind as Hu Jiu was.
Because of this, Long Yutian suddenly found Hu Jiu much more agreeable.
As they were discussing this, Yin Cang burst into laughter, drawing everyone's attention. He said, "You've got guts, we can't compare to you. Once you've settled things here, Grandpa will take you to the Alliance for a stroll, I guarantee you'll give those old guys a real shock."
"Master...Master?" Everyone was stunned when they heard Yin Cang address him as "Master."
Long Yutian was short-tempered. "What grandfather? I am An Ge's older brother. You call yourself grandfather? Aren't you taking advantage of me? Besides, you are old enough to acknowledge a junior like this."
Although Su Xinhe didn't speak, he thought so too. Lord Yin Cang was hundreds of thousands of years old; if judged by human standards, he would be an ancestor.
