Chapter 38038 How could a fish cause such a big mess!
I'm not just saying I want to dye my tail rainbow colors. It's rare that I have such a strong desire to do something, so I'm really excited now.
Little Lotus stroked her chin and imagined it, then expressed strong agreement with my wish. Then we both looked at Nezha at the same time.
"May I ask what the dyeing technique of the Heavenly Court is—?"
Nezha: ...
Although his expression remained stern, the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch slightly, and he glanced at us with a hint of warning. We both grinned, revealing innocent expressions.
After verifying the imperial jade token, the celestial soldiers at the South Heavenly Gate, though filled with suspicion, had no choice but to solemnly let us pass. Our group, two Zha and one Yu, passed through the towering gate and officially entered the realm of heaven.
The sea of clouds beneath my feet transformed into a tangible cloud road. On either side, rows of celestial palaces stood in a shimmering aura, dotted with exotic flowers and plants, each emitting a refreshing fragrance. It felt like stepping into a shopping mall in my past life, amidst a riot of vibrant perfume brands. Fairies, clad in brightly colored attire and crowned with pearls and jade, crisscrossed the landscape, clutching jade trays in their hands.
"It's so beautiful..." This is the Golden Palace.
Wherever our unique combination goes, we always attract countless looks of surprise, curiosity, or inquiry.
Nezha looked straight ahead, his wind-fire wheels gliding silently three inches off the ground. Little Lotus seemed much more at ease, holding my bubble, occasionally deliberately swaying it, causing me to stumble around inside. A playful smile lingered on his lips, as if he were admiring the exhibition of the various beings in heaven.
"When we meet the Jade Emperor, you might as well ask him how the clothes worn by the fairies in heaven are dyed. I'll make sure you have a colorful tail before we leave."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Little Lotus!"
Nezha pretended to cough in front, then slid forward without looking around.
Just as we were walking around the glittering corridors of the Tongming Palace and preparing to head to the higher Lingxiao Palace, a person came hurriedly towards us.
The man was tall, wearing golden armor and a ochre-yellow robe. He had a square and majestic face and three long beards under his chin. The most eye-catching thing was that he was holding a glowing, exquisitely crafted pagoda in his hand.
No need to ask, the person coming is Li Jing.
Li Jing seemed to have just emerged from a meeting in a temple. He walked hurriedly, his brow slightly furrowed, as if lost in thought. When he looked up, his gaze met with Nezha's, who was walking in front of him, and he subconsciously paused. This was perfectly normal, a father-son encounter.
However, when his gaze passed over Nezha's shoulder and fell on Little Lotus, who was walking almost side by side with him, also wearing red lotus armor and with an almost identical face...
Time seemed to stand still.
The dignity on Li Jing's face instantly faded, replaced by an indescribable horror. The blood drained from his face in an instant, and his lips moved slightly, but no sound came out. His eyes were filled with disbelief and uncertainty.
Nezha stopped and looked at Fufang expressionlessly. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why is father so shocked? Didn't you know about his existence a long time ago?"
He said "father" and "you" but there was no respect for his father in his tone. His eyes passed over the pagoda in Li Jing's hand, and there was a coldness in his eyes.
Little Lotus naturally noticed Li Jing as well. The playful smile on his face instantly faded, his eyes becoming dark and unfathomable. He didn't avoid Li Jing's gaze, but instead raised his chin slightly, a hint of a sneer and a hidden challenge playing at the corner of his lips. He even deliberately imitated Nezha's usual stance and crossed arms, amplifying the resemblance to him to an extreme.
The air seemed to freeze at that moment. The immortal energy flowing through the corridor seemed to stagnate. Passing immortal officials and maidens sensed the eerie atmosphere and circled around it, holding their breath, not daring to take a second look.
And I, the little carp at the center of the storm, feel that the water vapor in the bubbles is about to freeze!
It was awesome, witnessing the condensation of water vapor into ice, I felt like I finally had some real substance in my head!
"Bo~"
An extremely disappointing voice interrupted the stagnant atmosphere.
"I'm sorry, how about you continue?"
I didn't mean to interrupt the atmosphere, I just wanted to blow a few bubbles to liven up the mood, but the bubbles burst.
In the end, it was Li Jing who struggled to find his voice. The voice was a little twitching, a little dry, and he was shaking unconsciously: "Nezha... Nezha? You... you guys..." His eyes moved back and forth between the two Nezha, and finally fixed on Xiao Lianhua, as if he wanted to find even a trace of flaw in disguise on his face.
Nezha didn't respond to his father's heartbreaking words. He simply spoke calmly, his voice clearly echoing in the silent corridor: "Father, we are following the Jade Emperor's order to report to the Lingxiao Palace."
Little Lotus just snorted coldly with a hint of mockery in response.
Li Jing was choked by Nezha's official attitude. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, and his eyes swept over the little lotus again with complicated feelings, but in the end he could not say anything.
In the end, he just nodded with difficulty, moved aside to make way, but his eyes were still glued to the little lotus.
Under Li Jing's extremely complicated gaze, the two of us, Zha Yiyu, silently crossed the corridor and continued walking towards the Lingxiao Palace.
Even after I walked a long way, I could still seem to feel the gaze of my father behind me, which was like a thorn in my back, full of suspicion and heaviness... Bah, some kind of complicated emotion.
…
The Lingxiao Palace is where the Jade Emperor, the most benevolent and holy being in heaven, handles state affairs. Opposite is the Yaochi Lake.
Passing through the final, towering palace gate, supported by massive coiled dragon pillars, the view suddenly opened up. The vastness of the palace seemed endless, its high dome depicting the orbits of the sun, moon, and stars, emanating an aura of vastness and depth.
The floor was paved with lustrous, smooth white jade. The ethereal aura within the hall was so dense it almost transformed into tangible clouds, flowing slowly beneath the feet.
On both sides of the hall stood the civil and military celestial beings of heaven. The civil celestial beings wore feathered robes and star-shaped crowns, displaying an air of immortality; the martial gods wore golden armor and silver helmets, exuding awe-inspiring divine power.
Each one exuded a profound aura, a restrained divine light. At this moment, countless gazes, filled with scrutiny, curiosity, and inquiry, converged on us as we entered the temple like an invisible tide—especially the two Nezha, and... the fish in the bubble.
Perhaps it was my fish form that allowed me to avoid feeling awkward or uneasy with so many eyes focused on me. Furthermore, my fish form made the immortals less wary.
The Jade Emperor sat upright on the throne above the nine jade steps, wearing a tasseled crown and a royal robe. His face was shrouded in a hazy fairy light, and his specific expression could not be seen clearly. However, the supreme majesty that ruled the three realms permeated the entire hall as if it were a substance, which made people involuntarily feel awe.
Nezha took the lead and took a step forward, kneeling on one knee and clasping his fists in salute. "Your Highness, Nezha, has returned by your command. I report."
The voice is clear, neither humble nor arrogant.
Little Lotus hesitated for a moment, but finally imitated Nezha, slightly bending her knees and bowing, but her posture was somewhat distant and unruly.
And me… I tried to adjust my posture in the bubble, trying to make my fish body look more dignified, and then… I diligently nodded my fish head up and down! Well, that's considered a salute… I hope the Jade Emperor will not be too critical of me for my rural origin!
The entire hall fell into an eerie silence. Even the sound of flowing immortal energy could be clearly heard.
Countless eyes focused on me like searchlights, filled with surprise, bewilderment, and even a hint of...laughter. Especially when I tried to nod, the bubbles also swayed up and down.
The hazy celestial light above the Jade Throne seemed to fluctuate slightly. A gentle yet majestic voice rang out, breaking the silence: "Stand tall, Nezha."
Then, the Jade Emperor's gaze seemed to fall on me. "I summoned you here today as a reward. The Lord of the Cloud and Water River in the lower realm protects the waters and eliminates evil spirits. Although he is not a true god, he cares about all living beings and protects them in a proper way..."
I almost believe what you said.
"...I hereby appoint you as the True God of the Yunshui River. You are in charge of the Yunshui River and the 300-li waters along its banks. You are responsible for bringing clouds and rain, nourishing all living things, and protecting the region. I grant you the Golden Seal of the River God, and you will enjoy incense and offerings from the mortal world, and be ranked among the immortals."
As the Jade Emperor's solemn voice fell, a dazzling golden light beam fell from the star map on the dome, accurately covering the bubble where I was. The golden light contained a majestic and gentle divine power that instantly merged into my body.
As early as when the painting repeated "Ayu" as the goddess of clouds and water, I felt a close connection with the Yunshui River. Those tiny creatures seemed to have hearts, and I could clearly hear their voices. This time, I could also feel that the entire river was breathing in sync with me.
At the same time, a small, exquisite golden square seal suddenly appeared in my mind. I blinked. Could this be the Golden Seal of the River God?
Wait, I'm from another realm, so is it really okay to be granted a title in this realm? If I become a true god, can I still leave Yunshui River? Wouldn't that mean I'd lose my freedom?
As if seeing through my worries, the Jade Emperor's majestic voice came again:
"Considering that you are from another world, there is no compulsion in granting this title. If you return one day, I will take back the golden seal."
I:……
It seems like there is a feeling of being set up.
but……
This is compiled!
Although I hadn't held out hope before, the end of the universe is a fabrication, so how could I not be surprised at this moment? Whatever the reason for the conferment, the result is what matters. Otherwise, why would those mortal demons risk their lives to marry Tang Sanzang? Having traveled to another world, of course they deserve a taste of sweetness!
I was so carried away by my own pride that I momentarily forgot the context of the situation. I subconsciously released a series of bubbles, larger and rounder than before! Illuminated by the golden light and the countless celestial radiances within the hall, these bubbles shone with an even more dazzling, dreamy, and almost blindingly colorful brilliance.
These bubbles floated out happily from my water vapor bubbles, swayed up, and drifted in the solemn and dignified Lingxiao Palace.
A bubble slowly floated towards an old immortal with a white beard next to him, stuck to the tip of his long whisk, and trembled, reflecting a colorful halo.
Another bubble swayed and floated to the shoulder armor of a golden-armored general in the front row, and stayed there steadily like a colorful gem.
There was another bubble, which floated the highest and farthest, swaying slowly, as if carrying some kind of mission, as it floated towards the Jade Emperor's throne above the nine-tiered jade steps, shrouded in hazy fairy light...
The entire Lingxiao Palace fell into a silence even more eerie than before.
All the immortals, including those who had just been conferring the title upon me, their expressions varied, could not help but follow the drifting, colorful bubbles. Their expressions were one part solemnity, two parts astonishment, three parts surprise, and four parts strangeness...
The corners of Little Lotus' mouth twitched. She hugged me, quickly lowered her head, and shrugged her shoulders suspiciously.
Even Nezha turned his face slightly, as if he couldn't bear to look at it.
Finally, the bubble lived up to everyone's expectations and gently, gently stuck to the jade tassel hanging from the front of the Jade Emperor's crown... Then, with a "pop" sound, it shattered extremely lightly, turning into a small piece of moist water vapor with colorful spots of light, which stuck to the jade tassel that symbolized supreme power.
The hazy fairy light above the jade throne fluctuated violently.
Dead silence.
Absolute silence.
I stared at it all, completely stunned. I couldn't help but curl myself up into a ball. Help! How could a fish...how could it...cause such a big mess?
Ahhh, what should I do if I flirt with my boss right after getting hired?!
Little Lotus hid the hands that were holding me in her arms and looked around vigilantly.
At this suffocating moment, the Jade Emperor's majestic voice sounded again. It was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry, but it seemed to carry a hint of... extremely subtle and imperceptible helplessness.
"Ahem...is this...an auspicious aura?"

Copywriter:
After staying in a Taoist temple on the mountain for eighteen years, Ye Jingwu, who always thought he was an orphan, was told that he still had relatives alive.
There was no real or fake daughter, nor was there any preference for boys over girls. It was simply because when she was born, an old Taoist said that her fate was special and that all relatives in this life had to be cut off in order to save her life, so her family entrusted her to the old Taoist.
Ye Jingwu: May I ask a question?
Originally, her family would not come to disturb her, but because her biological mother wanted to see her before she died, she asked someone to come and inform her.
The master said: Go down the mountain, repay the kindness of your life, and cut off all kinship from now on.
But, Master, I can never repay your kindness in giving me life.
Her biological mother held her hand and closed her eyes. At the same time, the house opened its eyes, trapping her and others in the mourning hall.
Ye Jingwu, who went down the mountain for the first time, encountered a supernatural event in her biological mother's mourning hall, but it doesn't matter, she is a Taoist priest and she has a golden finger!
After reciting the incantation to summon the gods, a handsome young man with a red robe and double buns descended from the sky. He looked down at Ye Jingwu and asked, "You are the one who summoned me?"
Ye Jingwu stiffened his neck: "Yes, I am your Masta!"
Beautiful boy: ...
