Chapter 3

During the Republic of China era, the Xie family, with their vast wealth and business, became a target.

On New Year’s Eve, Xie Yu’s grandfather was put in a sack, tied with stones, and thrown directly into the river.

I watched his little arms and legs struggle desperately to survive.

I actually fought a battle with Lord Yan Luo Rong Si of the Underworld, and then I saved him.

I was punished, and my term was extended by another five hundred years.

After saving him, I felt like I’d gotten the short end of the stick again.

I made up my mind not to do anything outside my duties again, but then Xie Yu came along.

Xie Yu was five when he accidentally fell into the river while trying to catch a turtle.

I just saved him as a matter of convenience, because Rong Si told me this kid still had a long life ahead of him, so I could save him.

So I picked Xie Yu up by the scruff of his neck and tossed him onto the bank.

Xie Yu stared at me with his big, round, beautiful eyes: “Monster?”

I flung my long hair over my face: “Wuwuwu… I’m a female ghost, and I’m going to eat you~”

Xie Yu’s face held a calm and composure unbefitting his age: “What female ghost is as pretty as you?”

This kid!

His mouth is surprisingly sweet.

I cleared my throat and said, putting on an act: “Actually, I’m the River God, kid. Remember to offer me delicious food and drinks from now on.

“I like sweet-skinned duck with osmanthus. Remember that.”

Xie Yu: “My grandpa said the River God is wise and beautiful. You might look okay, but you seem a bit dumb.

“So, you’re lying.”

Hey! How dare he!

I was just about to give him a beating when I heard voices in the distance.

Damn it, gotta hide.

I’ll beat him up next time.
