I Have A Demon God Simulator - Chapter 317

Chapter 317: A Hundred Years, First Meeting with Ying Zheng (4)
 

“Thank you, Orochi! One day, when I control the world, I will definitely repay you a hundred times!”

Having said that, Ying Zheng did not stop any longer, and strode towards the Chu Country.

That attitude didn’t seem like he was going to be a hostage, but to conquer Chu.

“Interesting!”

Looking at Little Ying Zheng’s back as he left, Su Mu muttered to himself in a low voice.

The history books are incomplete and the deeds are incomplete.

Su Mu wanted to personally witness Ying Zheng’s growth, and see what role he would play in the upcoming calamity.

Perhaps it would be the key to breaking the situation!

..

After arriving in the Chu Country, Ying Zheng’s days were very bitter.

But it was still passable, and nothing special happened.

Su Mu didn’t need to keep an eye on them all the time. He only needed to pay attention to them occasionally.

Five years passed in a flash.

Five years was a very short period of time for Su Mu in this life.

But for the young Ying Zheng, it was an extremely long time.

He had spent the most difficult five years of his life and encountered many troubles.

Fortunately, he had successfully grown from a 7-year-old child to a 12-year-old youth.

Recently, Ying Zheng had welcomed the opportunity to return to Qin!

In recent years, the Zhao Kingdom had been growing in power, and the relationship between Qin and Chu had become much better.

After some negotiations, the Chu Kingdom decided to return Ying Zheng, the hostage.

The team from the State of Qin was already on their way!

After hearing this news, Ying Zheng was delighted at first, but when he thought of his father who looked at him like an outsider, his heart turned cold again.

He had never felt the warmth of family in his life.

His father was unhappy and his mother died early.

The only person who gave Ying Zheng the warmth of an elder was Su Mu, whom he had only met once five years ago.

In his heart, this Monster King had at least protected him before.

Thinking of this, Ying Zheng touched the Heart Protection Mirror on his chest, and his expression changed slightly.

This Heart Protection Mirror had saved him several times and had become the thing he cherished the most!

Even when he was sleeping, he would not take it off.

Only by wearing it would Ying Zheng feel safe!

Because of this, he had a special feeling towards Su Mu.

..

Just as he was thinking, a commotion came from outside.

“The River God of Qingshui River has arrived.”

“The River God of Qingshui River has arrived.”

“The River God of Qingshui River has arrived.”

The shouts were repeated over and over again, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, as well as waves of cheers.

“Why is the Qingshui River God’s ceremony here?”

The servant beside Ying Zheng stuck his head out and looked outside with a strange expression.

They saw a group of people dressed in red and green, beating gongs and drums, waiting at the door with a statue on their shoulders, waiting to open the door.

This was part of the ceremony, known as “Welcoming the Gods”.

The sacrificial procession would randomly enter the homes of the commoners, and the commoners needed to welcome them.

After they walked around the house with gongs and drums, the sacrificial team would leave.

It meant that this family would receive the blessings of the gods in the future.

In fact, it was just a folk custom activity for fun and good luck.

People who were visited by gods would usually be very happy and think that it was a good thing.

However, the sacrificial ceremony for the River God of Qingshui River wasn’t held here, so it was still quite far away.

This time, he didn’t know why, but he came here.

..

“Young Master, shall we open the door to welcome the gods? It just so happened that it was going to belong to Qin, so he had a good chance!”

The attendants beside Ying Zheng beamed with joy, feeling that this was a good sign.

“Alright.”

Ying Zheng did not think too much about it, nodding his head in agreement.

However, right at this moment, the Heart-Protecting Mirror in front of his chest suddenly lit up, and a huge snake phantom appeared in front of them.

“Don’t open the door. Everyone, be on guard!”

For the first time, Su Mu did not have time to say anything to Ying Zheng, and immediately shouted out a warning.

His words caused the surrounding air to freeze!

Su Mu stood in front of Ying Zheng with a grave expression, looking at the sacrificial procession behind the door with vigilance.

He had not expected that the Heavenly Court would find Ying Zheng at this time.

This was somewhat unreasonable.
