She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 18: Brain Filled

This is different from Judge Wen who hid his tracks and was not seen by others.

The City God of Xiaoning County transformed into a human form, looking like a wealthy old man. In addition to his eye-catching long beard, he was also leaning on a green vine cane. His eyes were as deep as the sea, revealing a bit of divinity.

Xie Lian was startled to see the real god in front of him. Just as he was about to say something polite, he saw the City God of Xiaoning County already bowing down.

"I would like to thank the fairy for giving me this opportunity. If you hadn't helped me, I would have turned into ashes by now. Your grace of giving me a new life is as high as the sky and as deep as the earth!"

The City God said sincerely.

The position of a god is not easy to come by. To become a true god is to achieve the right result.

From then on, he enjoyed the incense of the area and held power.

Life span will no longer be a problem.

This is the blessing that many people dream of.

It seemed that he was making progress that day, but in fact he had already prepared for his death.

But that was also a helpless act. If there was any other way, he would not be so stubborn.

Xie Lian’s sudden action not only saved his life and property, but also saved his position as a god.

Therefore, his gratitude towards Xie Lian was indeed extremely strong.

"God, I am so embarrassed. Please get up quickly."

Xie Lian quickly helped him up and said with a smile.

"In fact, I dealt with the evil ghost only to protect myself. I didn't think it would help the God at that time."

This is true.

But the City God naturally could not believe it. He thought it was just a humble remark and said it after being helped up.

"That evil ghost has lost his sense of propriety since he took the seal. He even dared to provoke the fairy. It can only be said that he is courting death!"

When he mentioned the evil ghost, he still gritted his teeth, but other than that, he actually felt some sympathy.

Just looking at his appearance, who could tell that Xie Lian was an unrivaled master?
At this moment, when I was close to him, I felt that Xie Lian did not have any magical power at all. He was clearly just a beautiful and delicate weak woman.
He also learned that Xie Lian had to fetch water, carry water, wash himself every day, and eat three meals a day with the Zhuang family father and son. His life was exactly the same as that of an ordinary person.

But he did not look down on Xie Lian because of this. Instead, he admired him even more.

This is what the real masters in the world are like, returning to nature, simple and unpretentious, playing with the world and savoring the flavors of life.

On the contrary, those half-baked people who are only half-full like to show off their own strength, fearing that others don’t know how powerful they are.

"Thank you for your praise, Lord. Actually, I am not as powerful as you think."

Xie Lian smiled bitterly. She felt that the City God had misunderstood her and seemed to think she was some extraordinary person.

This respectful gesture is not entirely out of gratitude. Now it seems that it also contains a bit of awe.

This made her feel a little uneasy. She hadn't even stepped into the threshold of cultivation yet, so how could she deserve such respect from the City God?
"I know the abilities of fairies very well."

The City God chuckled and made a gesture of invitation.

"The food and drinks have been ordered, please come and enjoy the meal, fairy."

Xie Lian could only swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth, and went to the restaurant with the City God.

But she could sense that the City God had a deep misunderstanding of her. Not to mention the respect in his words, he even cautiously lagged behind her half a step when walking...

This cautious attitude made her feel helpless and even absurd.

After all, he is the righteous god of the underworld who has the support of the underworld...

Why do I feel a little too humble?

Since the City God was going to treat them, he was naturally generous and booked the entire restaurant, then took Xie Lian to the private room on the rooftop.

Just as they sat down, the waiter who had prepared the food in advance brought up the wine and food one after another.

"Hey, isn't this Sister Lian? The distinguished guest that this old gentleman wants to invite is actually you!"

The waiter was surprised when he saw Xie Lian.

When Xie Lian was trying to find a way to make money, he had been to many places, and of course he had been to the "Yingkelou" which had the most business. So it was normal for him to know the waiter.

"It's hard to refuse a friend's kindness. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, little brother."

Xie Lian smiled and cupped his hands.

"Haha, what's so funny about this? I thought Sister Lian would feel lonely when she came to Xiaoning County with only Mr. Zhuang as her friend, but I didn't expect that she would make new friends so quickly. This is something worth celebrating. How about this, I will make the decision and ask the kitchen to add a dish as a celebration."

The waiter put the towel on his shoulders and said with a smile.

Not long after, a dish was added.

Xie Lian and the City God couldn't help but smile when they saw this.

"This waiter is quite a smart guy."

In fact, although the business of Yingkelou is good, it is rare to see wealthy customers who book the entire restaurant by themselves, and the dishes ordered by the City God are unlikely to be cheap.

This trip to the Yingke Tower has made a lot of money. Of course, they have to find ways to win the favor of such a wealthy guest. Xie Lian is a good starting point. What’s the point of saying a few nice words and giving him a dish?
"Knowledge of the world is knowledge, and understanding of human nature is writing... Dear God, please don't look down on these ordinary people. They know their own way of survival better than anyone else."

Xie Lian smelled the fragrant aroma of the dishes and her appetite was aroused. She was a foodie, but she had never had the chance to taste the delicacies of the world.

The Zhuang family tradition is strict and simple. Zhuang Mochen does not like to indulge in food, so he eats light meals.

Xie Lian was living under someone else's roof, so it was difficult for him to say much, but he was already feeling very upset.

How could he resist now that the delicious food was in front of him? He immediately started eating.

The City God did not move, but muttered.

"To be well versed in worldly affairs is learning, to be well versed in human nature is writing... As expected of Fairy Xie, this sentence seems to have explained everything about the world. The more you savor it, the more you appreciate it."

Xie Lian swallowed the food in his mouth.

"If it's delicious, it's like the food in front of you. Why don't you start eating, God?"

The City God looked at the delicious food, sighed softly, and a look of regret appeared in his eyes.

"I ordered this for Fairy Xie alone. Fairy, just eat it and don't worry about me."

Xie Lian suddenly lost his appetite.

"How can I eat while you watch? Your Excellency God, you are a little too polite."

Xie Lian felt a little embarrassed when encountering this situation while eating.

"It's not that I'm being polite, but I've long lost the chance to eat this delicacy in the human world."

The City God shook his head.

"In my City God's Mansion, from the minor gods to the ghost messengers, no one has the opportunity to taste the food. At most, we can just smell it. But if we smell it, even the best ingredients will lose their flavor... Eh? This is common sense. Don't you know it, fairy?"

Looking at the City God who was showing curiosity, Xie Lian nodded and answered truthfully.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to think too highly of me. There are many things in this world that I, Xie, do not know."

The City God was startled, then laughed at himself.

"That's true. The fairy is a master in the game world, so how could she pay attention to a small city god? The gods are poor and weak, and have never been in the eyes of the immortals."

There was a hint of inferiority in his words.

This made Xie Lian feel confused. He was just in awe of the old City God before, but why did he feel inferior now?

So I couldn't help but say it.

"Your Majesty is the God of the underworld, enjoying the incense of the human world, being canonized by the underworld, and entering the heavenly court. The gods rule the world, and their majesty spreads throughout the world. How could you be so self-deprecating?"

Unexpectedly, these words confused the City God.

"Why do you say that, fairy? What is the true god of the underworld? Where are the underworld and heaven?"

He asked with doubtful eyes.
