Chapter 155 Shared
After the banquet ended, Shan Zuo and Shan You patted their round bellies and hiccuped as they saw off the officials one by one, feeling that the banquet had been incredibly easy to prepare.
Gu Qingqing sat at the last seat once again. This time, everything on the table had been removed, not even a single rhinoceros fruit remained.
The divine ruler of mountains and waters saw this, lowered his eyes, and whispered something to Shan Wu beside him.
Shan Wu glanced in the direction where Gu Qingqing was sitting, then quickly walked to her. He stood up, picked up Gu Qingqing and threw her next to Shan Shui's desk, then lay down beside Shan Shui and didn't move.
Ji Rong looked at the bewildered Gu Qingqing and said, "Sister Qingqing, come and get some food, then let's find a place to eat."
Gu Qingqing was immediately moved to tears. She filled half of the table with food into her storage ring, saying as she did so, "My Lord, Ji Zhuang has been busy outside and must not have eaten. I'll pack some for him too."
After Gu Qingqing finished dressing, the hall had been restored to its original state.
Jiao Jue looked at Gu Qingqing and said, "Fox, call Ji Zhuang here."
Gu Qingqing then jumped off the stage to find Ji Zhuang.
Ji Zhuang was dozing off with Shan Zuo and Shan You at that moment. Gu Qingqing dared not go forward again, so she stretched out her tail and stroked Ji Zhuang's head.
Ji Zhuang looked up and saw that it was Gu Qingqing. He immediately pushed Shan Zuo's hand away and walked over quietly, saying, "Sister Qingqing, is there something you need?"
Gu Qingqing showed his storage ring and said, "Lord Juejun is looking for you. I just packed a lot of food from the Divine Lord's feast. We'll eat together when you come out."
Ji Zhuang looked at the storage ring with a grateful expression, then let out a burp and said, "Sister Qingqing, you eat! I can't eat anymore. There were a lot of my uncles' relatives sitting outside. They felt that I was working too hard and kept stopping me to give me a few bites to eat. I'm really too full now."
Gu Qingqing murmured, "..." She pouted and said, "Then you should go quickly."
Ji Zhuang nodded and went inside.
Gu Qingqing sat on the steps in front of the hall, took out a piece of roasted venison from her storage ring, and slowly began to gnaw on it; her mood, which had originally sunk to the bottom, was revived by the chewy and sweet taste of the venison from the mortal demon realm.
"The dishes inside are definitely the best." Gu Qingqing thought happily as she chewed on the meat.
"Nephew, what are you eating?" Shan Zuo and Shan You suddenly surrounded Gu Qingqing in a flash. Shan You grabbed the meat from Gu Qingqing's hand and swallowed it, saying, "Nephew, is there any more? Give me another one."
This is outrageous! This is outrageous!
Gu Qingqing looked at her empty paws and burst into tears. She cried and wailed, "I didn't eat anything, I just worked hard! This was a reward from the God, and you ate it! You're bullying me!"
Shan Zuo swatted Shan You aside with one paw. He took a large storage ring with the character "Zuo" engraved on it out of his mouth and placed it in Gu Qingqing's paw, saying, "Nephew, don't cry. The restriction on your uncle's storage ring has been lifted. Quickly pick a few things you like and make yourself happy."
Then he slapped Shan You's face with his claw and said, "Give it to me!" Shan You reluctantly spat out a large storage ring with the character "You" engraved on it. He made a hand seal and released the restriction on the storage ring.
Satisfied, Shan Zuo took Shan You's storage ring and placed it in Gu Qingqing's other paw, saying, "Nephew, this is your Uncle Shan You's storage ring; take whatever you want from inside!"
"Stop crying! If the God hears us, he'll think we're bullying the younger generation."
Gu Qingqing choked for a moment, then exclaimed, "Your two uncles are so kind to Qingqing, I'm so happy that I can't help but cry."
Then her gaze swept over the storage rings. Without any hesitation, she took out two small, empty storage rings, filled them all up, and then returned the two large storage rings.
After Gu Qingqing accepted the bribe, she stopped crying. Shanxio then came closer and asked expectantly, "Nephew, is there any more meat?"
Gu Qingqing immediately took out the remaining three pieces of venison and said, "Yes, this is delicious, and I should share it with my two uncles."
After finishing her meal, Gu Qingqing couldn't help but peek inside.
Shan Zuo looked at her and said, "Nephew Ji Zhuangxian hasn't come out yet, he must be working inside! He'll come out when he's done, so let's squat a little further away and sunbathe."
"Eat your fill and bask in the sun!" Gu Qingqing's eyes lit up at the news, and she followed Shan Zuo and Shan You.
Ji Zhuang was indeed busy. Jiao Jue had piled up a large number of storage rings on the blue silk mat, and now only he was squatting there, emptying out the items and sorting them.
Gu Qingqing did not enter the palace for a long time. Jiao Jue thought to himself that this fox was indeed lazy. He had not spurred her on for a few days, and she had already reverted to her old ways.
The Mountain and Water God and the Proud Bone God, Yinpan, were discussing how to open up the desolate sea and bring the remnants of the Witch Tribe into Canglan, while Jiaojue and Ji Rong listened from the side.
The remnants of the Witch Clan wanted to escape the oppression and slaughter of the Heavenly Palaces. The ostensible reason for this had already been given by Jiao Jue through his enlightenment.
However, the spirit crystal ore and fire crystal ore offered by the remnants of the witch tribe proved to be troublesome.
A spirit crystal mine, the silver plate can still be exchanged for it through negotiation;
However, fire crystal ore is practically a contraband, and if Hu Qing persists in pursuing it, the prestige of the Silver Plate will inevitably suffer a great loss.
The left and right sides of the mountain are not suited for managing internal affairs, so one of them could be sent to oversee the witch tribe; however, the witch tribe is surrounded by the sea, and for powerful figures like the left and right sides of the mountain, fighting is not as convenient as for the aquatic tribes.
Jiao Jue squinted and said, "Mountain and Water God, the Witch Clan has more than just the troublesome fire crystal mine. Let's put that aside for now. I will be summoned soon. What do you plan to do?"
Shan Shuidao said, "I originally had no successor and planned to follow the spiritual flow of the Canglan Mountains back to the source when my Dao body collapsed; but I found that this path was a dead end. I have seen that as soon as I went in, I would be pulled out and suppressed at the critical moment."
Now, though there are many roads ahead, none seem to have an end in sight.
Jiao Jue squinted and continued to ask, "Mountain and Water God, now that you have relinquished your power and your divine essence has been shattered, do you know what form a naturally born god like you will ultimately take?"
Shan Shui thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "It will probably get smaller."
How small can it be?
"That's unclear. This is the first time I've lost power, and I've never seen anyone like me before."
"Now that Ji Rong is your mount, are you more comfortable?"
"Indeed, my friend Ji Rong is indeed a unique being blessed by heaven and earth, able to release the source of nourishment to my remaining body."
Jiao Jue stared at Ji Rong and said, "Ji Rong, later you will take the Mountain and Water God to the place where I attained enlightenment and absorb the source of life to prolong the God's decline."
Once I've established myself firmly in my position, I'll send you to work at the Golden Cauldron Palace; now that you've achieved some success in your cultivation, I'm sure Long Jun will be even more willing to recommend you.
The celestial spring in the Golden Cauldron Palace is likely the leak point of the source; many celestial maidens of high status bathe there. When you go, you must strive to become a capable celestial maiden yourself, so that you may have the opportunity to bring Him in.”
