Wei Xie stared blankly. How did he believe this big charlatan Qin Liuxi, becoming a divine officer of the City God, or Oxhead and Horseface, having him bear such a fierce and evil appearance? This couldn’t be!
Wei Xie was a flower-pin young man till death!
"If you want to pin a flower, you can also pin one on the ox’s head." Qin Liuxi laughed.
Wei Xie glared at her.
Qin Liuxi patted him and said, "Alright, being part of the City God’s team, still a divine officer, a bit of divine light falls on the spiritual platform, is much better than bitter cultivation."
"You used to ask to beco a Ghost Cultivator, why the change? Being a Ghost Cultivator isn’t bad either."
Qin Liuxi looked at him: "I initially thought, if you don’t go for reincarnation and cultivate the Ghost Path, it’s still better than wandering in the mortal world. After all, if you wander for too long, you’ll either lose your mind, slowly disappear, or beco the supplent of other Evil Ghosts or turn into an Evil Ghost yourself, none of which are good choices. Cultivating the Ghost Path allows you to have control. But Wei Xie, you have a better choice, naturally choose the better one. The City God appoints you; there is divine light; getting a Divine Position is better than being a ghost, no?"
Wei Xie muttered, "Previously, even Black Impermanence could recruit ."
Being recruited by the Underworld is also a legit ghost ssenger, without the need for exams.
Qin Liuxi smiled and said, "You don’t understand, the Underworld has countless ghost ssengers on staff, it’s very competitive, not as good as being a minor leader in the City God’s team. Most importantly, as a divine officer serving by the City God’s side, when the people co to offer incense, you can enjoy the advantages too. Whereas being a ghost ssenger in the Underworld, who’s offering you so much incense and worship?"
Wei Xie snorted, "You just keep bluffing."
"I would never harm you."
Wei Xie stared at her for a mont, feeling a bit choked, sighed, and said, "I can’t argue with you."
From then on, the City God’s Temple had an ox-headed deity statue under the City God’s throne, receiving incense and offerings.
After being appointed, Wei Xie imdiately took office and was tasked by the City God. In South County, there was a wicked person who killed his mother and devoured his child. He had to be taken to the Yama Hall for judgnt.
Wei Xie, enduring the pain, transford into an ugly blind ox head, holding a steel pitchfork, presenting a mighty and fierce deanor, set off with a huff.
After he left, the City God then looked at Qin Liuxi: "You girl, what on earth do you intend by sending this person here to ?"
"Following you has prospects."
The City God snorted, "You’re just putting on a show, I see you’re paving a way back for him."
Qin Liuxi said plainly, "As the City God, you must have confidence in yourself, believe that you can thrive and create brilliance, then all your team will benefit as well."
The City God looked at her and said, "Are you in big trouble this ti?"
Looking at her deanor, it’s like arranging aftermath, placing the valued ones where they can be protected.
Ah, pfft, how inauspicious, my tongue hasn’t been enlightened today.
Qin Liuxi countered, "You are the City God, even if only managing a local city, still a God. With divine insight, can you see where I co from?"
"Hmm?"
Qin Liuxi lowered her eyes, "I once saw a sea of fire in the Heart Demon Formation, countless beings perishing within. Soone there said it was my fault. Do you know, is that my past mory or a forewarning of the future? Is that sea of fire caused by ?"
If so, how many beings did she harm, and how is she different from Si Luo?
The City God thought for a mont and said, "If it’s a past mory, it ans it already happened, irreversible, you can only atone for it. If it’s a forewarning of the future, then there’s no need to worry too much, as it hasn’t arrived yet, and there’s even a chance to change it. So why trouble yourself with it? Needless worry is inadvisable."
Qin Liuxi pondered for a mont, then bowed to him: "I’ve learned a lot."
The City God continued, "I see your thoughts are heavier than before. Do you want , the City God, to enlighten you a bit more?"
"That would be appreciated."
"Follow your true heart, act according to circumstances, if you’re frustrated, just go for it, don’t hold back, otherwise your Dao Heart will be unstable, hindering cultivation." At her young age, being so heavy-hearted isn’t good. So, better to do sothing that only youthful arrogance would do, like getting into fights over disagreents to vent frustration first.
Qin Liuxi: "..."
"In short, don’t learn the Buddhist ways, saying things like all beings are equal or abstaining from killing, or facing death with phrases like ’if I don’t enter hell, who will?’ Rember the core Taoist idea: ’Death to fellow Daoists but not to this one!’ The City God advised earnestly, "There is a Taoist way, with no one in it, this way is the way of killing, so if you’re upset, go for it!"
Qin Liuxi pressed her twitching mouth, "You’re a dignified City God, how co you sound like a thug."
The City God glared, "This City God teaches you because I feel connected to you, others, not to ntion asking for guidance, can’t even get a divine descent. You should feel lucky."
Qin Liuxi smiled faintly, "It’s truly my honor then."
"Hmm." The City God said smugly, "Being too heavy-hearted, easily blinds your inner sight, obstructing the Dao Heart, hence hindering cultivation progress, so you should relax."
Instead of consuming yourself internally, better exhaust others externally.
Qin Liuxi moved forward, "Alright, then I’ll stick close to you to soak in so divine light."
She lay down beside him, her head resting against his curled-up leg, nuzzled, closed her eyes, and sighed.
She was so tired!
The City God’s face turned green, this was overstepping boundaries.
Wanted to scold her for being bold, but seeing her weary brow, he disdainfully poked her cheek, sighed slightly, with a hint of affection he himself hadn’t realized.
Qin Liuxi slept for two days straight.
Awakening, she was roused by Feng Xiu, that fox spirit’s cry for help.
It must be said, being under the City God’s protection, surrounded by incense and divine presence, her sleep was truly more comforting than two days of her own secluded cultivation.
Qin Liuxi said cheerily to the City God, "I’ll co again next ti for your guidance."
The City God said scowling, "There’s no need!"
You’re here to steal my incense, while you were sleeping, you’ve actually siphoned the Power of Faith onto yourself, if it were soone else, I would’ve kicked them out long ago.
"I will, I love listening to the elders’ teachings, I’m off now." Qin Liuxi saluted, walking onto the Yin Road.
The returning Wei Niutou saw this and felt aggrieved, this wicked girl, leaving him here uncared for, how ruthless.
"Oxhead," the City God looked down at him.
Wei Xie responded promptly, "I am here, what instruction does the City God have?"
The City God said, "Work hard, don’t let her down for paving a floral road for you."
Wei Xie paused, then knelt down: "Yes."
