I'm just an ornamental fish in the water.

Jiang Li remained nestled in Lady Luoshui's arms, perfectly playing the role of a lapdog. However, upon hearing Lady Luoshui's greeting, a storm raged within her.

King Yu!

Yu the Great!

The human race has three sovereigns and five emperors: the Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi, the Earthly Sovereign Shennong, and the Human Sovereign Xuanyuan. These three sovereigns established order, and the five emperors ruled the world.

It is said: Shaohao, Zhuanxu, Yao, Shun, Yu.

The King Yu before us was the last ruler of the human race, who tamed the floods and brought peace to the land, and cast the Nine Tripods to establish order in the nine provinces.

In a world where gods truly exist, Jiang Li finds it hard to imagine how terrifying the abilities of such a human ruler must be.

Judging from Lady Luoshui's attitude, she doesn't seem to be very respectful to this human ruler.

Jiang Li couldn't help but think of the identity of Lady Luoshui.

She may appear to be just a water deity in the mortal realm, a fifth-rank celestial official, but in reality, this lady's seniority is among the highest in the entire Heavenly Court.

Because she was the first ruler of the human race, the daughter of Emperor Fuxi, she chose not to ascend to the Fire Cloud Cave with Emperor Fuxi because she was captivated by the scenery of the Luo River, but instead remained in the human world.

"Your Highness is too polite."

King Yu smiled and nodded slightly, placing himself on an equal footing with the Goddess of the Luo River.

"Please sit down."

Lady Luoshui stepped aside to guide him, and casually released Jiang Li.

Jiang Li didn't dare to linger and began to slowly move around the reception hall as instructed by Aunt Chi.

After King Yu sat down, he glanced at Jiang Li with great interest and praised, "Your Highness's water palace actually contains such a rare aquatic creatures."

"Luoshui is indeed a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, so it's nothing special that there are a few strange creatures here."

Lady Luoshui replied politely, but then said, "His Majesty sent his visiting card only half an hour ago, and he has already arrived. There has been no time to make arrangements for his welcome, which is truly impolite."

These words were loaded with meaning, and King Yu clearly understood. He smiled helplessly and said, "Let's not beat around the bush. Although the Three Realms are vast, there are only a handful of beings who can make this old man run around like a donkey."

"Your Highness is surely aware of whose orders I have come on," the old man said.

Lady Luoshui did not speak, but simply nodded slightly.

The fact that this last human ruler was so busy and anxious was something that even the other five emperors of the human race didn't have the same confidence to do.

Only the three emperors of the human race possessed such authority.

As for who it is, given the identity of Lady Luoshui, it goes without saying.

"What did he ask you to do here?"

Lady Luoshui spoke calmly, but her tone carried a deep-seated resentment.

This tone and attitude are definitely not how one would address their own father.

King Yu showed no reaction, but said solemnly, "One month from now, His Majesty Fuxi will bestow upon his four sons the titles of Gods of the Four Seasons. At that time, a grand banquet will be held on Shouyang Mountain, inviting all true cultivators of the Three Realms to witness the ceremony."

As he spoke, King Yu paused, took out an invitation from his sleeve, and gently placed it on the table.

"I, by order of His Majesty Emperor Fuxi of the Human Race, have come to invite Feng Mi, the eldest daughter of the Fuxi clan, to come..."

"Your Majesty King Yu."

Lady Luoshui interrupted King Yu directly.

She picked up the invitation, unfolded it, and ran her fingertips over it, finally settling on a name.

She pressed her fingertips firmly against the name, lowered her eyes, and whispered, "The name is wrong."

The invitation naturally bore the name "Fuxi Fengmi," but the Goddess of the Luo River said it was wrong.

"My surname is Jiang, which is the Jiang surname of Shennong Lieshan clan, personally recognized by His Majesty Shennong, the Earthly Sovereign of the Human Race. It is not the Feng surname of Fuxi clan."

"Please call me Jiang Mi."

King Yu suddenly looked up and met the gaze of the Goddess of the Luo River.

Neither the human princess nor the human ruler spoke, and the scene fell silent for a moment.

In the corner, Jiang Li silently exhaled a beautiful bubble.

She looks like a clueless little fish, but inside Jiang Li's heart is in turmoil.

If I hear about this, will I be silenced?

My goodness, this is a lot of information!

"I cannot accept this invitation."

Lady Luo broke the silence by pushing the invitation back and saying softly, "Your Majesty, please change the title on it."

King Yu remained silent for a moment, then finally raised his hand and made a light stroke on the invitation.

The large characters "Fuxi Shi Feng Mi" have disappeared, and have been replaced by "Lieshan Shi Jiang Mi".

Thank you.

Lady Luoshui nodded slightly, put away the invitation, and said, "I will attend the meeting on time one month from now."

"good."

King Yu nodded slightly, stood up, and looked at the Goddess of the Luo River with a complicated expression. He said softly, "Your Highness, matters of the past should not be my concern, but so many years have passed, Your Highness still..."

"Jiang Mi understands, and thanks Your Majesty Yu for your understanding."

Lady Luoshui also stood up and curtsied.

King Yu opened his mouth, shook his head slightly, and said no more. He simply smiled and said, "It's not easy to come out of the Fire Cloud Cave. Your Highness's water palace has quite a beautiful view. I wonder if I could stay a little longer to enjoy it properly?"

"Your Majesty, please proceed."

Lady Luoshui was somewhat surprised, but did not refuse. She simply said, "His Majesty's avatar in the Heavenly Court is the Great Emperor of the Lower Yuan Water Official. You also find the scenery of the Water Palace novel?"

"An incarnation is an incarnation, and I am myself; how can we generalize?"

King Yu smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back, and began to stroll around the unremarkable reception hall.

Lady Luo looked at Yu the Great's figure with doubt. Would a human ruler really linger at the scenery of the Water Palace?

Besides, what's there to see here?

Jiang Li maintained her usual rhythm, swimming around the reception hall, occasionally blowing out a bubble, as if King Yu did not exist.

However, King Yu seemed quite interested in him, his gaze constantly following Jiang Li's figure.

"This little fish is quite interesting."

King Yu suddenly smiled and beckoned, pulling Jiang Li into his hand and bringing her close to his eyes for a close examination.

"This is nothing more than a small fish in the Ten Thousand Fish Pond of my Luoshui Divine Palace. What's so special about it?"

Lady Luoshui grew increasingly puzzled.

It seems that King Yu stayed behind because of his little fish?

From an angle unseen by the Goddess of Luoshui, a faint golden light suddenly appeared in King Yu's eyes, and his eyes, tinged with a gilded hue, were fixed intently on Jiang Li.

A moment later, the golden light in King Yu's eyes dissipated.

"What makes it so extraordinary is that it's different from ordinary fish."

King Yu gave a somewhat redundant explanation, and then did something that greatly surprised the Goddess of the Luo River.

But then Yu rubbed his fingers together, and a deep blue light appeared at his fingertips, within which a blood-red precious light was brewing.

This precious light appears gentle and smooth like water, but it carries within it a fierce and ruthless meaning.

"This is……"

Lady Luo looked at King Yu with some shock.

"The original spiritual essence of the Huai River God of the past is perfectly suited to you."

King Yu smiled and pressed that precious light onto Jiang Li's body.

Instantly, Jiang Li's scales began to glow, and deep blue light burst forth from the gaps between each of his scales.

King Yu released Jiang Li, letting him float in mid-air. He took two steps back, nodded slightly, and looked very satisfied.

"This one spiritual essence is sufficient for foundation building."

King Yu muttered to himself, then turned to the Goddess of the Luo River, nodded slightly, and smiled, "Now that this matter is settled, I shall take my leave."

Lady Luoshui regained her senses, suppressed her doubts, curtsied, and said, "Respectfully seeing off His Majesty King Yu."

The figure of King Yu slowly disappeared.

Lady Luoshui stood still, her gaze falling on Jiang Li, who was glowing like a small blue sun.

The blue light grew increasingly intense until it completely enveloped Jiang Li, leaving only a faint hint of crimson.

The next moment, the blue light began to distort, extend, and lengthen.

There seemed to be a human-shaped figure being conceived inside...
