I'm just an ornamental fish in the water.

Upon hearing Lady Luoshui's words, Jiang Li, who had many doubts in her heart, was at a loss for what to ask.

Lady Luoshui didn't urge them, but waited with a smile, and even had the leisure to pick up her teacup and take a sip.

After a while, Jiang Li walked to Lady Luoshui's side, picked up the teapot, and poured her a cup of tea that was exactly seven-tenths full.

Then, he asked softly, "Your Majesty King Yu, the True Man Ge Xuan, the Great Teacher of Virtue, even Prince Feng Mu, and even..."

Jiang Li raised her head, looked at Lady Luo Shui's profile, and hesitated before asking, "Do you... know something about my special characteristics?"

If he still doesn't understand now, he's just incredibly stupid.

From the very beginning, when His Majesty King Yu bestowed upon him the primordial spiritual essence of Wuzhiqi, to his first departure from the Luo River, he encountered a true cultivator in the mortal realm and obtained the talisman pill method, which was the culmination of the cultivator's own cultivation.

Then there was the banquet at Shouyang Mountain, where Emperor Fuxi's attitude was clearly not quite right, and when Feng Mu was at the Wei River, he emphasized that Jiang Li should act alone.

Then Jiang Li met the Great Sage Teacher. In their conversation, this former true cultivator of the mortal realm, now a powerful deity of the Heavenly Court, even expressed his intention to take Jiang Li as his disciple.

Even the Lady of Luoshui before my eyes.

Soon after appearing in this world, Jiang Li was protected by the Goddess of Luoshui, and then she took human form, was named, served as an official, and became an entourage...

One thing after another, it was almost obvious how much the Lady of Luoshui cared for and nurtured Jiang Li.

Jiang Li was naturally very grateful for this, but at the same time, after noticing the unique attitudes of many big shots towards her, Jiang Li had a very inappropriate thought.

What if Lady Luoshui knew about her specialness from the beginning, and that's why she took care of and nurtured her?

Jiang Li was well aware that even if that were the case, she should still be grateful.

But deep down, I still feel a little uncomfortable.

Human thoughts can be quite complex at times.

"I was the last to find out."

Lady Luoshui understood Jiang Li's meaning and smiled, "When I first saw you take human form, I didn't know anything more than you; I just felt that you were pleasing to my eye."

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief, while inwardly cursing herself for being so pretentious.

"When I left Shouyang Mountain, I met the immortal Ge Xuan."

Jiang Li suddenly looked up.

Lady Luoshui continued, "He talked to me about you, and... asked me to give you a few talismans."

"Leave it to me?"

Jiang Li repeated it, a thought suddenly striking her.

The actions of Master Ge Xuan seem to share a similar purpose with those of the Great Teacher of Virtue.

However, Ge Xuan Zhenren was not so direct from the beginning, but chose to pass it on to Jiang Li through Luoshui Niangniang.

At first, the Great Teacher of Virtue actually had the idea of ​​"intercepting" Jiang Li from Lady Luoshui.

However, after exchanging a few words with the Goddess of Luo River by the Wei River, he gave up the idea and instead passed on the Taiping Sutra to Jiang Li.

It is conceivable that if Lady Luoshui were to relent, the Great Teacher might even leave the Nine-Section Staff to Jiang Li.

"It was around that time that I realized something was wrong."

Lady Luoshui held her teacup, but didn't drink. She simply stroked the cup and said softly, "I went to the Heavenly Court to visit the Great Emperor of the Lower Yuan Water Official."

Jiang Li didn't speak, but her gaze grew increasingly serious.

The relationship between the Water God of the Lower Realm and King Yu is not merely one of incarnation, but rather a profound and mysterious concept of two sides of the same coin.

Just like the Ziwei Emperor and the Fengdu Emperor.

Asking the Great Emperor of the Water Official is essentially the same as asking King Yu.

"actually."

Lady Luoshui's gaze fell on Jiang Li, and she said, "I have always been somewhat interested in your true form."

"There are many naturally born extraordinary beings in the Three Realms, but even those born extraordinary beings will have traces to follow and will always follow certain rules."

"For example, snake species often have multiple heads, and tiger species often have colors different from ordinary tigers."

"But your existence is unprecedented. I am quite knowledgeable, but this is the first time I have ever seen a different kind of aquatic creature like you."

Jiang Li was also somewhat bewildered upon hearing this, and said softly, "I myself have never noticed anything special about my own body."

This is also what Jiang Li has always been puzzled about.

Self-control is an instinct for all living beings, but this principle seems to have failed for Jiang Li.

Even after he began his cultivation, he never realized that he possessed any innate or extraordinary abilities.

"You don't realize it because it's working all the time."

The words of Lady Luoshui surprised Jiang Li even more.

"Just like how humans breathe, it's not something special, it's an instinct, a normal instinct."

"My instincts?"

Jiang Li looked down at her hands, her eyes filled with confusion.

"That's right."

Lady Luoshui stood up and looked Jiang Li up and down, her eyes filled with amazement.

"I learned some information from the Great Emperor of the Lower Yuan Water Official."

"King Yu noticed your special qualities, which is why he bestowed gifts upon you, as did Ge Xuan, the great teacher, later on."

Jiang Li couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is my special ability?"

Could it be that I am a unique being? A body of an alien, yet possessing the soul of a pure human.

No, that's not it. What I'm talking about now is the innate special ability that I possess in my current physical form.

"luck."

The Lady of Luoshui made a startling statement.

"What?"

Jiang Li's eyes widened.

"It's that simple."

Lady Luoshui smiled with a touch of emotion and said, "The unique thing about your original form is luck."

"Or perhaps, luck?"

"What is an elusive and indescribable fortune to ordinary practitioners is traceable in you; it is a great fortune."

"In short, you will always encounter opportunities that ordinary cultivators may never encounter in their entire lives."

"This is true of King Yu, this is true of Ge Xuan, and this is also true of the Great Teacher."

Lady Luoshui exclaimed in amazement. Such clear, obvious, and even deliberately guided and utilized fortune was something she had never seen before.

"But……"

Jiang Li, however, was somewhat worried about this extraordinary opportunity that cultivators dreamed of, and asked, "Everything in the world is governed by cause and effect. If I receive this fortuitous gift, what price will I have to pay?"

"I don't know. Perhaps King Yu and the Great Teacher of Virtue would know, but I can't find out from them."

Lady Luo shook her head and comforted her, "However, you don't need to worry too much. Even if there is a price to pay, with me here, you don't need to worry too much."

His words, brimming with confidence and charisma, were reassuring.

"Even disregarding other factors, I am now the princess of the Lieshan clan, the direct lineage of the Shennong ruler. Protecting you is never a problem."

Lady Luo patted Jiang Li's shoulder with a smile and said, "As long as you don't complain that I'm blocking your path to becoming a disciple of the Great Virtuous Teacher."

"How could you have such a thought?"

Jiang Li shook her head with a wry smile and said, "To be shameless, I can take benefits from Her Majesty without any worries, but I wouldn't dare to do that to anyone else."

Upon hearing this, Lady Luoshui chuckled and was about to say something when her expression suddenly changed, and she looked towards the doorway.

"The Great Teacher is indeed quick in his actions."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Mu's voice came from outside the door.

"Sister, messengers from the Lower Yuan Water Official's Palace and the Heavenly Court's Water Department have arrived, as a reward for Jiang Li."
