I Am the Water God!

"Hmm... you can leave it for now, I'll eat it later."

You Su still didn't open her eyes; she was clearly exhausted.

Yu Meng nodded and smiled, placing the crystal-clear lotus seed soup by the pond. Looking at You Su's bare upper body, her heart pounded like Xiao Lu.

In recent days, You Su has become less resistant to her and her sister's service, but she still maintains a deliberate distance between men and women.

So she mustered her courage and said:

"Young Master You has worked hard; why not let Yu Meng massage your shoulders to relieve your fatigue?"

She was prepared to be rejected by You Su again, but to her surprise, You Su simply whispered:

"Next time, it's late tonight, you and Yu Long should get some rest."

You Su's voice was nowhere near as aloof as it had been on the first day of her bath. Yu Meng glanced at You Su in surprise, then lowered her head and said yes. Two blushes instantly appeared on her pretty face, and she gracefully withdrew.

As she retreated, she exclaimed that her young mistress's charm was truly unparalleled; even a blind man would be captivated by her beauty.

Since entering the pool You Su had maintained a polite demeanor, but she could sense that as she spent more time with the young lady, You Su's politeness was no longer a form of self-protection, but a natural expression.

True beauty doesn't just captivate your eyes, it captivates your heart.

"I wonder when Miss plans to make her move... If she doesn't act now, it will be too late."

Yu Meng sighed softly to herself, then led her younger sister out of the palace.

You Su lay motionless in the hot spring bath, eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought.

He suddenly picked up the small porcelain bowl beside him and weighed it in his hand.

It is said that the lotus seeds produced by the lotus flowers in Jade Ring Pool are extremely precious spiritual treasures with many wonderful uses. He has been here for so long, eating fish and various lake delicacies, as well as spiritual fruits and vegetables gathered from the mountains. This is the first time he has eaten food that has truly taken root at the Jade Ring Pool.

This Yu Die Saintess was truly generous to him.

You Su picked up the clean white spoon and stirred the lotus seed soup a couple of times before taking a spoonful.

He, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly felt an urge, an urge to open them and see...

He opened his eyes and, sure enough, saw something he hadn't expected!

He was fully aware that he was currently in a state of closed vision, with only extremely blurry outlines of the bath and the screen. But within the small bowl, he saw the spirit of the White Dragon Carp swimming continuously!

Its body was so white it was almost transparent. It seemed hungry, and while happily swaying its tail in the bowl, it devoured nearly ten lotus seeds one by one.

You Su's pupils instantly constricted to peas! It turned out that it hadn't disappeared after hitting his body at all; it had been lurking around him all along!

You Su then recalled the second question he had asked the Saintess, to Saintess replied, "White Dragon Carp capable of refining the soul has not been seen for a hundred years."

If this Little White Fish isn't a spirit, Evil Warding Token doesn't react to it, then what is it? And why can I see it?

The Little White Fish, however, paid no attention to You Su's questioning gaze and continued to enjoy its 'feast'. Its black and white eyes darted around, making it look rather silly and cute.

There was absolutely no sign of danger on it. You Su tentatively reached out and touched its back with his fingers. It seemed to be annoyed by being disturbed while eating, so it swam away from You Su's hand.

You Su was somewhat surprised. He had thought that the Little White Fish, which could regenerate after being cut in two by a sword, would be an invisible thing, but he did not expect that he could feel a clear sensation when he touched it with his fingers. It was icy cold, like touching a piece of ice.

You Su wasn't too concerned that it had devoured all the food the Saintess had prepared for him; he was more interested in what kind of fish it was.

After the Little White Fish devoured all the lotus seeds, only a few pieces of white fungus and cordyceps remained in the lotus seed soup. It seemed to disdain these things, and after eating its fill, it opened and closed its lips twice before swimming out of the small bowl.

Its flight requires no water support; rather than saying it can fly, it's more accurate to say it treats the entire world as a vast body of water, freely roaming within it.

Feeling something, You Su slowly raised his hand. The little Little White Fish, as if to thank him for feeding it, swirled around his fingertips, looking quite adorable.

You Su had never seen such a strange creature before, and unconsciously began to tease it. The Little White Fish, annoyed by his antics, darted about, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, glared at You Su and spat out a small bubble in protest.

You Su smiled slightly and popped the slowly approaching bubble, as if trying to tell Xiao Yu about the huge gap between them, so that Xiao Yu would give up struggling.

But the moment the bubble burst, the scene before You Su's eyes changed drastically. The white fish, which was the size of a finger, suddenly grew to be more than ten feet long, floating in the air and almost filling the entire bathroom.

"Foolish humans! How dare you be so disrespectful to this Water God!"

A little girl's voice suddenly rang out, so innocent that it was impossible to tell she was angry.

Who is speaking?

You Su stared in disbelief at the enormous fish head before her. Could it be it?

"It is I, the Water God, who am speaking!"

The enormous, swimming fish exudes a powerful sense of awe, but the girl's voice diminishes its imposing presence.

"Don't play tricks. There are no gods in this world, only immortals."

"Heh, utterly foolish!"

"If you're a god, then show me some skills, otherwise how can anyone believe you?"

You Su was fearless; although the fish looked huge, it didn't pose any threat to him.

As if to confirm his suspicions, he reached out to touch the huge fish, but this time he no longer felt anything substantial; instead, he passed right through the fish.

"What's wrong with you! Don't be rude!" Little White Fish seemed to be in a hurry and quickly turned away to avoid You Su's hand.

"Even gods possess such crude illusions?" You Su asked with curiosity, laughing, "Was that bubble you just created an illusion?"

It's easy to guess that the Xiao Yu was annoyed by his teasing and wanted to drag You Su into the illusion to scare him. That's why its size suddenly increased hundreds of times for no reason, just to make You Su feel afraid. It's just a pity that its voice didn't pose any threat at all.

"Don't underestimate me! It's just that my divine power has been depleted. Once I recover my full strength, I can make you fall into a dreamlike state without ever realizing it, believe it or not!"

The Little White Fish continued to glare at You Su, threatening her menacingly.

Looking at the big white fish's cute appearance, You Su felt that it was just empty talk to make a show of itself.

"Alright, I believe in the noble Water God."

"You'd better really believe it." The big white fish was quite pleased with the word 'noble' that You Su used, and the girl's tone softened considerably.

"Lord Water God, you just ate all my food. How will you make it up to me?"

The big white fish glanced at the small porcelain bowl containing only scraps of food, and, feeling a little embarrassed, said guiltily:

"It's just a few lotus seeds, and you want compensation? In the past, I wouldn't even bother with this."

"If you don't like it, then give it back to me."

"How could there be such a stingy human as you? My people used to offer me their best, begging me to give them a little power. It's an honor for this Water God to eat a few of your lotus seeds!"

"I'm not one of your people. Does that give God the right to steal other people's food? Here's what we'll do: answer a few questions for me, and I'll let this matter drop."

"Someone like you isn't even worthy of being my subject. Ask your own questions."

You Su thought for a moment and asked, "What exactly are you?"

"I am the Water God!!"

You Su had already guessed that it would say that, so she simply asked again, "Then why were you hiding inside the White Dragon Carp's body that day?"

"If some treacherous commoner tries to kill a god, of course I have to run."

"Slay a god? You think you can escape?"

If someone were to actually hunt this Little White Fish that had developed intelligence, You Su didn't believe it could escape.

"Alas, Old Bai was my number one general. He risked his life to help me escape. We were almost there, but then, out of sheer bad luck, you guys blocked our way, and you even killed Old Bai. Waaah, you died such a tragic death, Old Bai! I will definitely avenge you!"

It's a pity fish don't have tears, otherwise You Su really felt that this big white fish would be crying its eyes out.

"Then wouldn't I be offering myself up as bait?" You Su asked coldly.

"How could that be... Give me a few more lotus seeds, it's not like we have a life-or-death feud..."

You Su was only trying to scare it on purpose, and frowned slightly, saying:

"The White Dragon Carp led you from Jade Ring Pool to the outside; is there a secret passage underground?"

"A secret passage? Gods travel openly and honestly, who would use a secret passage?"

"The two lakes are independent; if you don't take the secret passage, how will you cross the mountains?"

"Hmph! I told you not to underestimate me, the Water God! Of course..."

With a pop, like a bubble bursting, the big white fish instantly turned back into Little White Fish before it could finish speaking.

It lay in You Su's palm, its white color much lighter than before, as if it had expended too much energy, and its fish eyes were somewhat lifeless.

This Little White Fish doesn't seem to be able to speak human language; its voice only came from the illusion it just experienced.

You Su frowned slightly. Why did it stop at such a crucial point? It seems I'll have to prepare more food next time I want to chat with it for a longer period.

However, fish food of the caliber of Jade Lotus seeds is hard to find...

The weak Little White Fish was very docile, appearing completely harmless. You Su carefully observed it and made her own deduction:

This white fish, which has developed intelligence, must have evolved from White Dragon Carp. Facing its still ignorant kind, it arrogantly calls itself the Water God. When the people of Jade Ring Pool discovered it and wanted to catch it, no fish felt it should be eaten, so it used the power of its kind to try to escape.

Suddenly, the Little White Fish shook its head, propped itself up, and transformed into a swift white light, rushing off in one direction before disappearing.

Even if You Su opened his eyes and looked around, he couldn't find any trace of it, nor did he know where it was hiding.
