Chapter 71: 71 Tushan Family's Future Son-in-Law

71 Tushan Family's Future Son-in-Law

Carving the eyes isn't difficult; not long after, Sun Ying finished it.

Shi Ji beside him, excited, jumped up directly, wanting to hug him.

Sun Ying swiftly dodged his embrace, disdain hard to conceal.

Shi Ji narrowed his eyes, but said nothing, because his purpose had been achieved.

If it weren't for his low cultivation, he would have already killed him to silence him.

And it would be the kind where his soul flies away and his spirit scatters.

He doesn't cultivate the Slaying Dao; that's what the stubborn stone next door cultivates.

Unfortunately, he didn't succeed; the newly awakened stubborn stone was turned to ash by that stone crusher.

He cultivates the Slaughter Dao!

He crushed over ten people; isn't that already cultivating into human form?

The stubborn stone is indeed just a stubborn stone.

After awakening its spirit, its head still won't turn.

Shi Ji gave Sun Ying a deep look.

Wait until he increases his cultivation after some time, then coming to kill him won't be too late.

He snorted, reached out to hug that City God statue, preparing to leave.

But as he exerted force—

Huh? It didn't lift!

He exerted force again.

Huh? Still didn't lift!

What's going on?

Just as he was about to check what was going on, a female voice sounded from behind: 'How dare a spirit like you dare to move the City God's statue?'

Shi Ji immediately turned to look.

He saw that, unknown when, three people stood behind him.

Oh, no, to be precise, it's two people and one demon.

His face sank as he looked at Bai Yu: 'Are you the one meddling?'

Upon hearing that, Bai Yu immediately objected, hands on hips, shouting angrily: 'What's wrong with me? Who are you looking down on? Believe it or not, I'll pinch you into a stone ball and kick you like a ball!'

Shi Ji snorted dismissively, completely disregarding his words, looking down on him.

He glanced again at Tushan Jiu.

When his eyes met hers, which seemed able to see through all things, his heart trembled.

'Don't go scaring people; the City God statue hasn't even had incense offered, how could the City God possibly descend?'

Tushan Jiu pulled out a purple stick-like lollipop from her pocket and began to unwrap it.

She nodded: 'You're right; without incense and unsealed, the City God won't descend.'

Shi Ji scoffed: 'You know quite a bit; which family are you from...'

Tushan Jiu put the lollipop in her mouth, tilted her head, and interrupted him: 'However, why not just invite the City God over?'

The next second, she produced an invocation talisman, lit an invocation incense, and slowly began to speak:

'Heaven and earth respond to Qiankun, burning incense pierces the heavenly gate, the golden bird rushes like cloud arrows, the jade rabbit's radiance like wheels... the 283rd-generation debt-sword person Tushan Jiu, respectfully invite the Nan Cheng City God!'

As her words fell, the City God statue before them trembled violently.

With each tremor, golden light spread outward from within the statue.

Shi Ji was greatly alarmed, silently thinking, 'Not good!'

He turned and ran toward the door.

The others inside were also shocked by this scene.

City God?

An immortal was summoned by Tushan Jiu!

Xie Shiyu and Sun Ying, as humans, were more astonished.

But Bai Yu is different.

With a yelp, he darted straight into the guest room.

He's just a little fox who recently took human form; how could he withstand the City God's aura!

Sun Ying is here; he can't reveal his true form in front of him, can he?

He closed and locked the door in one smooth motion.

Meanwhile, Shi Ji, just about to touch the door handle, was bound by a golden light.

Shi Ji lowered his head to look, and his face instantly turned ashen.

He didn't even struggle.

This is divine power formed from the combination of faith and merit; how could he possibly break free?

Unwilling, he glared viciously at Sun Ying.

Sun Ying was frightened by his gaze, but then he suddenly realized that at this moment, the one who should be afraid is him, this spirit, and so he steeled himself and glared back.

Suddenly, the previously trembling City God statue stilled, and everyone looked over.

Sun Ying sucked in a breath of cold air.

That City God statue—has come to life!

The Nan Cheng City God looked around, first glancing at the stone spirit restrained by his divine power, then at Xie Shiyu and the tightly closed door behind him, and finally at Tushan Jiu.

"The 283rd-generation Sword Debt Person? Tushan Lan Yu is your great-great-grandfather."

"Tushan Jiu showed no hesitation, clasped her hands, and faced the City God's scrutiny, saying, 'Yes, Tushan Lan Yu is indeed my great-great-grandfather.'"

"The Nan Cheng City God laughed heartily, withdrew his aura, and wore a relieved expression, saying, 'Not bad, truly not bad—how long has it been since your Tushan Family produced a girl like this? Your strength is indeed extraordinary; even your grandfather couldn't summon me back then.'"

"Tushan Jiu echoed with a smile, but she still couldn't change her habit of speaking bluntly, even though the person opposite her was the City God."

"She said, 'So I've come to collect the debt, otherwise, if my future child lacks this ability, this debt might drag on for several more generations.'"

"Upon hearing this, Xie Shiyu, standing beside her, lowered his gaze and glanced at her, the corner of his mouth lifting in a slight arc."

"The Nan Cheng City God was embarrassed by her words, 'Hahaha, you really speak so bluntly, kid. Even if you didn't invite me today, that stone spirit monster wouldn't stand a chance against your words—collecting the debt is surely your main goal, right? Tell me, what reward do you want?'"

"Tushan Jiu nodded calmly, 'I studied the Storage Array, engraved it on my jade bracelet, but the final part remains; I need one-tenth of your divine power.'"

"The Nan Cheng City God's eyes showed surprise as he looked at her wrist and indeed saw a jade bracelet."

"A golden light flashed in his eyes; he saw clearly that the Storage Array was engraved there."

"He fell silent for two seconds, then glanced at Xie Shiyu beside him and smiled, 'You've even found this Person of Fortune's Qi—I never expected them to be born within my jurisdiction.'"

"Back when he had just been promoted to City God, inexperienced in his duties, he judged a wrongful case and sent the soul to the Underworld, only then realizing something was off."

"Thus, together with the Sword Debt Person Tushan Lan Yu, who had just arrived at the Underworld to report, he borrowed a knife to make amends, returning the wrongly judged soul."

"Later, he told him to help watch for the birth of a Son of Fortune's Qi within his jurisdiction."

"One piece of information could offset the Sword Debt."

"But after he took office, he got busy and forgot, completely missing the best chance to repay the debt."

"Now, the only way is to repay the debt with one-tenth of divine power."

"Tushan Jiu nodded, 'My grandfather found it.'"

"She linked arms with Xie Shiyu and introduced him to the Nan Cheng City God, 'My fiancé, Xie Shiyu.'"

"Xie Shiyu was also meeting the City God for the first time, but he wasn't too nervous; he imitated Tushan Jiu's gesture earlier and bowed with clasped fists, 'Future son-in-law of the Tushan Family, Xie Shiyu, greetings, City God.'"
