"Come and pick up the money!"
"It's not a snake, it's a copper coin!"
"So many, so many!"
"No, it's too much, I can't take it anymore!"
A woman was panting heavily, sweating profusely. Her clothes were stuffed into a big cloth bag, which was extremely heavy. Copper coins overflowed and fell as she ran.
"I'm rich! I'm rich!"
"I have enough money to marry a wife! I finally don't have to be a bachelor anymore. Dad and Mom, can you see this in heaven? I, your son, have made it. Woo woo woo—"
"I want to marry two wives, no! Three!"

If this continued, he would definitely cut off the lifelines, incense and offerings of all the sacred things.
By then, Zhang Ling would probably become a rat that everyone in the fairy world would want to kill. His reputation would spread and he would be unwelcome wherever he went. Some people might even deliberately make trouble for him and make things worse for the parade.
