Little Water God
Stream God blushed and shrank back into the blankets, feeling her entire face burning hot, as if it had been steamed by hot spring water, both soft and scalding.
He slowly pulled a small water doll out of his pocket.
The doll was only the size of a palm, and round and chubby.
It looks like a miniature version of him.
A single tuft of hair sticks up on its head, making it look both silly and limp.
This was a gift from the Sea God.
That happened a long time ago.
The Stream God still remembered that day when he hid in the seaweed and refused to come out because of something. Originally, no god would have discovered this, but unfortunately, he happened to run into a meeting.
A group of gods came looking for him menacingly; the scene was terrifying. He didn't want to come out anymore and even tried to bury himself in the mud with his bare hands.
In short, they simply refuse to come out.
Later, the Sea God's brother made the other gods leave.
The other person sat right next to me, silently kneading the lump of water for a very long time.
He was initially quite scared, but seeing that the other person wasn't making any moves, he gradually relaxed. However, the other person had been pinching him for so long that he couldn't help but steal a glance at the other person's profile.
Later, the other person also left.
At the time, he was a little sad, but then he turned his head and saw this little water doll with a smiley face drawn next to it.
The doll looked about seven or eight parts like me, with a single tuft of hair sticking up on its head. It was silly and clumsy, but incredibly cute.
That was the first time he saw this little water doll, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.
This is so cute.
He couldn't help but wonder, did he think he was so adorable in her eyes?
The Stream God stretched out his finger and poked the doll's cheek. His fingertip sank in, feeling cool and comfortable. Suddenly, the Sea God's smile flashed through his mind again, and his face turned even redder, his ears burning.
He hurriedly pressed the small water doll to his face, trying to cool it down with its coolness.
Outside the blanket, Wuma Xiu had already withdrawn his gaze.
Just like before, timid, easy to understand, and hasn't made any progress.
That's fine too.
The Water God was thinking about how to sneak out to find the Goddess of Beauty when he saw the Sea God, whom he had been longing for, enter from outside the palace.
His eyes lit up instantly.
The god practically sprang up from his seat and instantly pounced on Wuma Xiu, embracing him tightly.
"Sea, you're finally awake!" The Water God exclaimed excitedly, as if he had seen a savior. "I'm entrusting all these matters to you. Don't bother me; I have other things to attend to, so I'm leaving now!"
After saying that, he turned and ran.
Wuma Xiu reached out and grabbed the Water God by the back of his collar, pulling him back like a little chick.
Okay, time to get to work.
With a flick of his other fingertip, a pair of thin, gold-rimmed half-rimmed glasses appeared out of thin air and he put them on.
Wuma Xiu lightly touched the frame of his glasses, and a very thin gold chain dangled from the temple, resting on his cheek.
This made his already gentle face appear even more noble.
"Lord Water God, where are you going? Is there something you can't tell me?"
The Water God, being lifted off the ground, dared not struggle. She merely pursed her lips, gazing pitifully at him with evasive eyes.
After struggling for a long time, he finally managed to stammer out a sentence:
"I... want to... go... to... find... mei."
The word "beautiful" was still on the Water God's lips, but before he could utter a sound, Wuma Xiu cut it off:
"Rose cake, is that right? I understand."
Wuma Xiu chuckled softly, and a translucent white porcelain plate appeared out of thin air in his hand. On the plate were several pieces of bright red rose cake, their sweet fragrance wafting out.
He glanced down at the Water God, then said gently:
"Please Water God, shrink a little."
Upon hearing this, the Water God shrank back, instantly transforming from an adult god into someone no bigger than a three- or four-year-old child, who was then held in Wuma Xiu's arms with one hand.
He seemed to be completely unable to refuse the Sea God.
Even the Water God didn't know the reason.
Wuma Xiu carried him and calmly walked to the head of the table, then turned and sat down in the seat that originally belonged to the Water God.
"Lord Water God, be a good boy/girl~"
The Little Water God nodded obediently, nestled in Wuma Xiu, and kept his hands and feet tucked in.
His only remaining eye was darting longingly towards the palace gate.
What should I do? I really want to get out of here.
He wanted to see the Goddess of Beauty!
Unfortunately, before that thought could take shape, it was interrupted by a piece of rose cake being offered to him.
Wuma Xiu placed the pastry near the Little Water God's mouth and whispered:
"Lord Water God, come, open your mouth."
The Water God smelled the sweet fragrance, hesitated for a moment, and then opened his mouth and took a bite.
The delicate sweetness of the petals melts on the tip of the tongue.
He narrowed his eyes, temporarily forgetting even about running away.
Moreover, it was really comfortable in the Sea God's arms.
Wuma Xiu wrapped one arm around him and slowly fed him with the other, saying:
"Gentlemen, speak up. What exactly is the purpose of this meeting today?"
Faced with this scene, the Gods in the hall were not surprised at all; on the contrary, they were all moved to tears and almost burst into applause.
Okay! Okay!
Sea God is still as powerful as ever!
With just a few words, he stabilized the situation and even subdued the Water God.
Honestly, if the Water God were to actually go to the Goddess of Beauty, people who didn't know better would think that their Water God was a licking god.
Over the years, when they went out, they all felt that they were somehow inferior to the other gods. Unfortunately, the Water God was someone who wouldn't listen to advice, and apart from the Sea God, no one dared to contradict any of his decisions.
The Gods sighed inwardly, and some even couldn't help but think:
Why isn't the Sea God the Water God?
Wuma Xiu took in everyone's expressions, his face remaining as gentle and refined as ever. After feeding the Water God the last piece of rose cake, he even wiped the corner of his mouth.
"Lord Water God, now we must discuss serious matters."
Wuma Xiu lowered his eyes, gently patted the Water God's head, and then pulled him into his arms.
"If you don't want to listen, you should take a nap first."
Sleep, sleep.
Children should get some rest.
The Little Water God had no interest in the meeting and his eyelids were already heavy. But as the Sea God gently patted his back, he felt warm all over and soon closed his eyes.
Just before falling asleep, he was still half asleep, thinking that when he woke up he should tell Hai not to stop him from going out.
He must go find the Goddess of Beauty.
Last time, I finally caught a glimpse of her from afar, but before I could even exchange two words, Xi dragged me back.
This time he definitely has to ask the Goddess of Beauty what she likes; he can't always go empty-handed.
With that thought in mind, he drifted off to sleep.
Listening to the even, shallow breathing in his arms, Wuma Xiu smiled and casually stroked the top of the Water God's head with his fingertips.
Upon seeing this, Gods in the hall lowered their breathing slightly.
Wuma Xiu raised his eyes, his gaze behind his glasses gentle yet sharp, sweeping over every face in the hall.
"Now, we can begin."
They're meeting today for only one thing.
--Desert God.
