The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 33: The God of Land’s Birthday

In an office in a high-rise building, a man who looked to be in his thirties was sitting. Standing in front of him was the kidnapper leader who had kidnapped Luo Fan and Zhou Hai - the nine-tailed fox demon.

"Have you met Xia Yu?"

The person who spoke was wearing a suit and tie, and was drinking tea with an expressionless face, without even raising his eyebrows, and there was a hint of blame in his tone.

Xiaojiu was wearing a beautiful one-shoulder dress at this time, and she was dressed up beautifully, as if she had prepared for this trip for a long time.

"Haven't the sisters seen gods before? I just take them to see them and broaden their horizons." Xiaojiu looked at the man who was questioning her with confidence, not feeling that she had done anything wrong at all.

"I said, as long as you don't ruin my business and don't cause trouble, I won't care about you." The man paused, put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Xiao Jiu with a condescending look, and said angrily: "But you just want to provoke that immortal!"

"Isn't he just a little fairy disciple under Yue Lao's seat? How powerful can he be?" Xiao Jiu said disapprovingly, "I didn't expect that a powerful figure like you, Brother Qingyun, would be afraid of a little fairy disciple."

Luo Qingyun became even angrier after hearing this, and immediately asked back: "If you look down on that little immortal disciple so much, why did you return injured?"

"I……"

Just as Xiao Jiu was about to explain, Luo Qingyun interrupted, "That little fairy disciple's master is the old man Yue Lao. Although she is not to be feared, she has the Heavenly Court behind her. Do you think that you alone are strong enough to fight against the Heavenly Court? With your level of skills, I'm afraid you can't even beat the dog beside Erlang Shen."

"You!" Xiao Jiu was so angry that he rushed to Luo Qingyun and said, "We can't beat you. I'm afraid you can only fight with that Roaring Sky Dog. How powerful can I be as a person who came here that day? I'm just this strong."

She has liked him silently for a long time, and because she likes him, she listens to him: don't do anything wrong, don't affect human life, don't reveal your identity as a demon, and don't cause trouble.

However, he didn't appreciate it!
All the good mood was gone, and Xiaojiu turned around and disappeared without waiting for Luo Qingyun's reaction.

Luo Qingyun was so angry that his veins popped out. He cursed in the direction where Xiaojiu disappeared: "Stupid pig...!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another demon appeared.

"Ah... Brother Qingyun must be confused." The weasel smiled awkwardly and walked towards Luo Qingyun, saying, "Her original form is a nine-tailed white fox. She should be a 'stupid fox' instead of a 'stupid pig'!"

Luo Qingyun was too lazy to pay attention to this weasel. It would be no good for it to pay New Year's greetings to the chicken, and nothing good would come from looking for him either.

The weasel has an alias in the mortal world called Huang Shu, and his identity... is a vagrant.

Seeing that Luo Qingyun ignored him, he shamelessly stated his purpose: "I came here to report Li Jian's situation to Brother Qingyun."

After hearing Li Jian's name, Luo Qingyun looked at Huang Shu seriously and said, "Speak."

"It is said that Xia Yu came to the mortal world this time to save the marriages of several destined couples. Usually, she has the help of the Earth God, and even the Clairvoyant and the Wind-eared One help her for personal gain. Not long ago, Li Jian and Xia Yu met, and he promised to help her and let her complete the mission and return to heaven as soon as possible." Huang Shu was tired of talking, took a breath, and continued: "Isn't today the birthday of the Earth God? Many people in the mortal world go to the [Earth God Temple] to worship, and the incense money in the temple has increased a lot. Moreover, Xia Yu also bought a very large birthday cake, and together with Li Jian, they are celebrating the birthday of the Earth God in the [Earth God Temple]! And..."

"Enough." Luo Qingyun interrupted.

We are really getting further and further away from the topic.

However, it is very rare to celebrate the birthday of a terrestrial immortal and buy a birthday cake.

……

【Land God Temple】

Xia Yu, Li Jian and the Earth God were surrounding a large birthday cake and singing a birthday song to the Earth God. Celebrating birthdays in a mortal way was somewhat embarrassing in the Earthly Immortal World.

Because the God of Land felt it was beneath his status, Xia Yu and Li Jian celebrated his birthday secretly without the knowledge of any other earthly immortals.

Since the birthday cake was nine layers high and the God of Land was a little short, Xia Yu thoughtfully prepared a stool for him.

Xia Yu heard the saying "eat birthday cake on birthdays" from Li Jian.

In order to make it easier for Xia Yu to understand, Li Jian specially let Xia Yu watch a video of "mortals eating cake on their birthdays".

Giving the God of Land a birthday cake was one thing, and Xia Yu saw how the birthday cake was used, but on the other hand she still wanted to avenge her master.

"Happy birthday, God of Land!" Xia Yu said, and gave Li Jian a wink. They each put a handful of cream on the face of the God of Land.

"Silly girl..." The God of Land had no idea that Xia Yu and Li Jian would really smear him with cream, which is something mortals do.

"I'll let you steal my master's business... I'll let you steal my master's credit..." Xia Yu used both hands to smear cream all over the face of the God of Land, making him unable to open his eyes.

Compared to Xia Yu, Li Jian was more stable. At least... he showed mercy.

Because he couldn't see, the God of Land accidentally slipped off the stool while trying to avoid Xia Yu's clutches, and Li Jian hurriedly held him up.

"Junior sister, that's enough..." Li Jian finally couldn't bear it anymore and stopped Xia Yu: "He is the land god after all, don't go too far."

"I don't care..." Xia Yu was still grabbing the land god and smearing cream on him. His white beard was all stuck together by the cream.

"Hmph... your master should thank me..." The Earth God lifted his sleeves to wipe the cream from his eyes while defending himself: "If I hadn't been in the mortal world... delaying his time, he would have ruined his marriage. I would have reported it to... the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor long ago."

What the God of Land said was true, he did help Yue Lao a lot.

The matchmaker was drunk and made mistakes. When mortals prayed for marriage, he was unable to help them find their partners in time. It was the god of land who helped them secretly.

"Junior sister..." Li Jian held Xia Yu with one hand, glanced at the embarrassed land god, and whispered to Xia Yu: "What he said... does make sense..."

So it seems that Xia Yu had wrongly blamed the God of Land.

No matter how hard the god of land tried to wipe the cream clean, he couldn't, so he simply used magic to make it disappear.

"Oh... I was just kidding! Haha, isn't this how all mortals celebrate their birthdays? God of the Land, you're not going to be angry, are you? Of course, I know you're not a stingy earthly immortal." Xia Yu suddenly smiled and pulled God of the Land, letting him stand back on the stool, and said with a smile: "Birthday boy, please cut the cake!"

"..."

Xia Yu had said everything, and the God of Land was speechless for a moment. He reluctantly cut the cake and gave a piece each to Xia Yu and Li Jian.

"Junior sister, I didn't mean to offend you. I just wanted to have fun. I hope the Earth God won't mind." Li Jian suddenly spoke up for Xia Yu. He picked up the wine glass on the table and toasted the Earth God, saying, "You are so kind to help me. I thank you on behalf of Master."

"Look... the older ones are more sensible. But if you really want to thank me, please tell your master to help me say more good things in front of the Queen Mother and give me a promotion soon!" The land god drank a glass of wine with Li Jian, then turned to look at Xia Yu and said, "This time... for the sake of 'birthday cake' and your master, I won't bother with you."

"Thank you, God of Land." Xia Yu said with a smile.
