Transmigrating to another world, starting as a mountain god

It sounds simple, but it's actually quite difficult to do.

After realizing the possibility of collusion between officials and traitors in the capital, Zhao Wanjun dared not trust anyone.

This matter needs to be handled by a trustworthy person.

Zhao Wanjun pondered for a moment: "It seems that this is the only way."

Li Yuan peers in: ?

The two left the alley, and Zhao Wanjun led Li Yuan quickly toward a certain place.

All of this was observed by a pair of hidden eyes.

“Someone is watching us.”

Li Yuan remained calm and spoke casually.

With the support of the Huanshan mark, if he focuses on perceiving, his divine sense can easily encompass half a city.

Zhao Wanjun's expression hardened, but she did not make any move.

"It seems that someone was indeed involved."

Instead of heading directly to their destination, the two walked for a while before turning towards the government office.

Afterwards, Zhao Wanjun led Li Yuan away through a hidden door in the yamen.

The hidden door leads underground, forming a deep passage.

"The secret door is located in the inner office of my office. We can leave through the secret door without anyone knowing."

Zhao Wanjun finally relaxed a bit.

Li Yuan looked up at the somewhat damp ceiling of the passageway:

"Your tunnel is unstable and needs to be reinforced immediately."

Above their heads, small, broken clods of earth were falling down, posing a constant risk of collapse.

Zhao Wanjun nodded: "It hasn't been repaired for years, and some of the top has fallen off."

The two quickly left through the tunnel.

At the end of the tunnel is a large bronze gate, which is intricately carved with various patterns and texts.

Upon touching the bronze gate, Li Yuan suddenly realized something, and his expression turned strange:

"There's no guy behind you, is there?"

Zhao Wanjun: ? ? ?

"Who is this young man?" she asked curiously. "My home is behind this door."

Li Yuan responded with an "Oh," and said, "It's nothing. Just pretend I'm talking nonsense again."

The two opened the bronze gate, walked out of an antique-style room, and instantly arrived in a beautiful courtyard.

Two figures, a man and a woman, were enjoying tea and the scenery in the courtyard.

"Father, Mother!" Zhao Wanjun called out softly, hopping over like a light and graceful swallow.

Two figures turned around.

The man was about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, with a square face, neat hair and beard, thick eyebrows, and eyes like sharp swords.

Only when looking at his own family does that sharp gaze soften into tender affection.

The woman was of similar age, dressed in a plain white robe, with gentle features, dignified and elegant, still retaining her charm.

Between her brows and eyes, there seems to be a mature, intellectual, and gentle elegance.

Zhao Wanjun inherited the good genes of her parents; her nose, lips and face are as gentle as her mother's, and her eyes and eyebrows are as upright as her father's.

That beautiful face possessed both the gentle temperament of a woman and the resolute spirit of a man.

The two men looked at Zhao Wanjun who was approaching, both smiling with doting and gentle expressions.

However, upon seeing Li Yuan lazily strolling out of the dark room, Zhao Wanjun's father immediately frowned.

His gaze transformed into swords, as if he wanted to slice Li Yuan apart.

The gentle woman was also taken aback, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly as she looked at Li Yuan.

Before Zhao Tianya could speak, Zhao Wanjun pulled Li Yuan over and introduced him:

"This is Li Xiaoyao, he's my assistant now!"

Zhao Tianya wore a stern face, but his heart was in turmoil: It's over, it's over!

I didn't pressure my daughter to get married, and now she's bringing someone home with her!

This is the first time my precious daughter has brought someone home!

Before I could even say anything, she started introducing herself!

Oh no, oh no, my little cabbage has been...

But why would my precious daughter fall for this guy who looks like he has kidney deficiency?

If you're visiting for the first time, it's perfectly acceptable to come empty-handed.

This kid is quite ordinary, with a weasel-like face, a bony build, and a gait like a pheasant...

This won't do!

Zhao Wanjun's elderly father was devastated.

"Ahem..." Zhao's mother, Huang Shuya, gently reminded her husband not to lose his composure.

Zhao Tianya blinked and looked at his daughter, hoping to see a misunderstanding on her face.

However, Zhao Wanjun was preoccupied with the matter of the thief and paid no attention to her father's expression.

Seeing Zhao Wanjun lower her head and remain silent, Zhao Tianya's heart skipped a beat!

Oh no, that's a really firm stance!

If my precious daughter insists on choosing this boy, if her eyes redden, if her lips pout...

How can I back down without hurting my daughter's feelings while maintaining my dignity as a father?

"Um... well, Brother Xiaoyao?"

Zhao Tianya took a few deep breaths and turned his head toward Li Yuan.

Li Yuan smiled slightly: "What's going on, bro?"

Immediately, Zhao Tianya's lips trembled.

It’s bad!

This kid is talking nonsense; he's not a normal person!

Zhao's mother, Huang Shuya, secretly helped Zhao Tianya up, and said to Li Yuan with a smile, "Young man, you are a handsome and talented young man..."

Praised by a mortal, Li Yuan smiled shyly:

"Before, when people praised me, they always complimented my abilities or my kind heart. This is the first time someone has ever complimented me on my looks..."

In the past, when ordinary people worshipped him, they praised the mountain god for his compassion for all living beings and his great supernatural powers.

Even if he was actually just the worst of the gods.

Zhao Tianya, standing to the side, felt like he was about to faint.

I'm praising you... for being amazing?

Could it be...?!

Huang Shuya secretly pinched Zhao Tianya, signaling him not to think too much.

Zhao Tianya's face was stiff as he mechanically exchanged a few polite words with Li Yuan.

Soon, it was lunchtime.

Huang Shuya glanced at the sky and exclaimed, "Oh dear, I've been talking with you for so long, I've really taken up too much of your time..."

"You're clearly a young and promising talent, always busy. Today will undoubtedly be busy as well, but..."

"Why don't you stay for a simple meal?"

Most people, after being greeted with such a half-hearted, half-farewell manner, would find it hard to maintain their composure and would naturally leave politely.

In addition, the Qian Kingdom values ​​etiquette, and it is generally uncommon for people to freeload a meal upon their first visit.

But is Li Yuan an ordinary person?

He's not even human.

At this moment, Zhao Wanjun, who was pondering important matters, interjected, "Why don't you stay for a meal? We can discuss things later."

“Okay,” Li Yuan said with a smile.

Deng!

Zhao Tianya staggered back several steps, clutching his heart.

Why don't you stay for dinner so we can discuss things?

What are you discussing? Are you talking about marriage?

Is it really that fast? Is my own daughter in such a hurry?

"It's urgent, my daughter can't wait another day!"

"I'll need your help then, Father and Mother," Zhao Wanjun said with a smile, leaning against her mother.

Zhao Tianya's heart was broken.

The matter is urgent, could it be that it's already...?

Furthermore, the parents should indeed assist with the wedding arrangements...

"I never expected this, I never expected this..."

Zhao Tianya sighed deeply, his eyes red-rimmed.

I, Zhao Tianya, have spent half my life on the battlefield, finally managing to secure a leisurely job at home. But before I could settle down for even a few years, my precious daughter...

Of all the talented young men in the Qian Kingdom, why did they choose this weak, ugly nobody...?

At this moment, Zhao Tianya's world collapsed.

After a while.

Inside the main hall of the Zhao family.

Since everyone is a guest, the Zhao family prepared a table full of dishes to entertain Li Yuan.

Zhao Tianya even moved Zhao Wanjun's usual seat to sit next to him.

The father and mother protected Zhao Wanjun, who was still pondering the strategy for capturing the thief.

It's said that the more a father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, the more uncomfortable he becomes.

When Zhao Tianya put himself in the position of his future father-in-law, he couldn't stand Li Yuan no matter what.

It's not a nose, and it's not an eye.

Logically speaking, Li Yuan should not need to eat.

But he still had some appetite.

The food served to these officials was indeed much better than what you'd find in ordinary restaurants.

Compared to the delicacies of Earth in the past, Li Yuan could only console himself.

It has a bit of color, aroma, and flavor.

He picked up a piece of green vegetable with his chopsticks and was about to put it in his mouth.

"Mmmm!"

Zhao Tianya coughed.

Li Yuan glanced at him and then put the food in his mouth.

After quickly swallowing a few mouthfuls of yellow rice, Li Yuan picked up a piece of meat.

"Ahem!!" Zhao Tianya secretly glared at Li Yuan, then pretended to cough.

Zhao's mother, Huang Shuya, also glared at her husband from the side.

Even if there are objections, they aren't that obvious.

If a daughter is truly in love, she will be extremely stubborn.

If you embarrass this kid, he'll have to comfort his daughter when she cries!

However, Zhao Tianya was so engrossed in his own thoughts that he completely failed to notice his wife's subtle hints.

Every time Li Yuan picked up a piece of food, Zhao Tianya would cough in a mock manner.

The subtext is:

I don't like you, so say a few nice words to appease me first!

Li Yuan ate two large bowls of rice and then casually picked up some vegetables.

An awkward silence fell over the room.

"Mmmm!"

Li Yuan glanced at it every now and then while eating.

"Cough!!"

Li Yuan ate the vegetables heartily.

"Uh-huh!"

Finally, seeing Zhao Tianya coughing incessantly, Li Yuan reacted.

He seemed to understand something, and holding his rice bowl, he suspiciously approached Zhao Tianya.

He looked it over.

He opened his mouth gently.

Do you have asthma?
