Chapter 2

I’ve known the Xie family since his ancestors’ time.

Xie Yu’s great-great-great-great-great-grandfather was just a boatman when I first became the river god.

He was a good, honest man, ferrying people across the river, accumulating good deeds and virtue.

During a great flood, he fell into the water trying to save a pregnant woman.

Originally, as a newly appointed god, I should have been making a big splash.

My master, the old river god, also taught me that I shouldn’t interfere in such matters, much less save people.

But I saved him anyway.

And then I received a heavy punishment.

After the boatman was rescued, he brought his whole family, old and young, to the riverbank to kowtow in gratitude.

He even built a River God Temple for me.

From then on, what seemed like a misfortune turned into a blessing. The incense in my temple flourished, and offerings never ceased.

As for the boatman’s family, they started a delivery business.

To this day, they’ve become the leading logistics giant in Zhou City.

Xie Yu’s grandfather was also saved by me.
