Chapter 179 The Emperor Returns

Deng Yin's three gold coins weren't wasted; the task rewarded her with 50 points.

The amount of points awarded now is as unpredictable as the relationship between tasks and natural disasters.

Logically, the greater the difficulty, the higher the reward, but it seems that's not the case now.

The protagonist's life is not even as valuable as five pigs, five sheep, and twenty chickens.

He can't compete with money or points, so how did he become the male lead?

Just because he's a general?

But now natural disasters are coming one after another, and the general has no use for his skills.

Having completed his mission, Deng Yin prepared to return home.

Although the rain has been heavy these past two days, the water level hasn't risen much. Deng Yin's boat was locked to the window by Wang Jiang. Before, it would take someone to pull her in through the window, but now, even standing inside the boat, you can see her head through the window.

Deng Yin also left Wang Jiang a basket of strawberries and grapes, and gave him three gold coins, after all, this matter could not have been completed so quickly without his help.

Wang Jiang was still somewhat uncomfortable because of what she had said to Kong Niesheng before, and even though she was giving him this and that now, Wang Jiang was still not very happy.

Wang Jiang kept half of the fruit in the basket, and sent the other half to Kong Niesheng.

Deng Yin's approach to gift-giving was all about uniformity. When Wang Jiang saw the basket on the table, he asked, "This isn't a gift from Deng Yi, is it?"

Although it was a question, Wang Jiang used an affirmative sentence when he spoke it.

Kong Niesheng saw the basket in Wang Jiang's hand, nodded, and admitted it. "Yes, what are you doing with that basket? Is it for me?"

Wang Jiang immediately put the basket behind his back. "No, I brought it here to show you off."

Although that wasn't his intention, his mouth moved faster than his brain. The heartwarming scene he imagined didn't materialize, and Wang Jiang got a beating. He then obediently went back to guard the window.

......

Deng Yin moored the boat at the entrance to the basement, opened the cabin, and the first thing she saw was not her house, but a giant ship.

She recognized the people on the boat; through the rain, the two looked at each other from afar.

Chi Lin stood up and said to Deng Yin, "I said we would meet again."

The rain was like a wall around Deng Yin's body; the heavy rain turned a corner before hitting her, and even though there was nothing above her head to shield her, not even the hem of her clothes got wet.

Chi Lin had a boat canopy on his head, but because he was standing at the front, rainwater fell on the boat and splashed onto the hem of his clothes.

Deng Yin turned around, as if he had made a decision.

Dog Egg asked, puzzled, "Where are you going?"

"Let's go home." Deng Yin steered the boat downstairs, tied the grappling hook with a rope, swung it a few times, and threw it out the window.

...Missed.

Upon seeing Deng Yin return, Cui Wuji, Zhao Shanglan, and the group of people responsible for rowing stood at the bow of the boat to watch her.

Deng Yin didn't turn around, but he could feel the burning gaze behind him.

many......

Deng's accuracy was insufficient, and the claw hook was not well-made; the teeth on it were a bit blunt. Even if it was thrown up, it might not be able to get stuck.

After finally getting stuck, Deng Yin pulled it down a little.

...It's gone.

Those people didn't know what Deng Yin was doing, but since a deity must have her reasons for doing things, they all stood there quietly watching.

Even with Deng Yin's thick skin, he couldn't withstand being watched by so many people.

The sound of metal hitting the wooden window was quite loud. Deng Yin tried many times, and although he didn't succeed, he managed to get Li Pingle to figure it out.

"What's going on? You're all back, why aren't you coming in?"

She wanted to go in, but she couldn't!

Deng Yin, who was very proud, naturally refused to admit that he was not good enough. "My window is a bit small and doesn't let in any air. I plan to make it bigger."

Deng Yin could lie with ease, without batting an eye or showing the slightest hint of guilt.

Everyone had a biased view of Deng Yin and believed what she said.

Apart from Gou Dan and Chi Lin.

It's normal for Gou Dan not to believe it. He doesn't have that kind of bias towards Deng Yin and knows very well what kind of person Deng Yin is.

Chi Lin didn't believe her because he knew Deng Yin was an imposter. Someone who could casually tell lies like claiming to be a deity would be met with skepticism no matter what she said next.

Seeing that this route was blocked, Deng Yin started using the underpass. This time, she didn't pretend not to see it; she said to Cui Wuji, "Why are you here again?"

Cui Wuji was not angry because of her words. He was very grateful to her this time, otherwise the number of people who would have died in this natural disaster would have been dozens of times more.

"I came to ask if the immortal knows what the next natural disaster will be." Cui Wuji was very perceptive and had his men bring out three large boxes. "Here are fifty thousand gold coins. I wonder what the immortal likes? I also had some novelties prepared."

The servants opened the lid, revealing what was inside.

All sorts of jewelry were piled together, while on the other side was a pile of objects whose purpose was unclear.

Cui Wuji didn't know what Deng Yin liked, so he had people collect a bunch of trendy things.

Although Deng Yin was no longer interested in these things, he didn't hesitate to tell him about natural disasters.

"The next natural disaster will bring hail." Deng Yin didn't intend to invite anyone in to sit down; he told him what he wanted to know from a distance.

After saying that, Deng Yin waved her hand and put all the gifts that Cui Wuji had prepared for her into her spatial storage.

Actually, it didn't have to be this complicated. If Deng Yin wanted to put those things into his spatial storage, he only needed to think about it.

Besides storybooks, Deng Yin had also read several picture books. In them, the deities would wave their hands when casting spells.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do; perhaps that's how the local gods are.

Cui Wuji had witnessed Deng Yin's strength, but the servants beside him did not.

Upon suddenly witnessing a deity performing magic, some people immediately knelt down in worship.

This behavior is actually quite presumptuous. The emperor is still here, yet he doesn't bow to the emperor but instead bows to someone else. If he encountered a petty emperor, he might be beheaded on the spot.

But Cui Wuji said nothing. He bowed to Deng Yin and said, "Thank you, immortal."

Having achieved their objective, the emperor and his entourage prepared to depart, but Chi Lin did not wish to leave.

He didn't finish what he was saying.

"I have something to tell you."

“But I have nothing to say to you.” Deng Yin didn’t have a good impression of this person. After all, if it weren’t for him, Wang Xi wouldn’t have been almost sacrificed, and Aunt Wang wouldn’t have been captured and nearly died.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold. Although the rain kept falling and the sounds of raindrops hitting the water and the boat were incessant, it still felt very quiet.
