Old Yellow Ox no longer needed anyone to lead him by the reins to find his way, which kept Jingang studying him closely for quite some time.
He couldn't eat him, but surely he could look!
Still, Jingang's gaze kept frightening Old Yellow Ox half to death. After all, Jingang was a centuries-old Wolf Demon, and a herbivore couldn't compare. Besides, Jingang's true form was much bigger than Old Yellow Ox! Swallowing him in one bite wouldn't be all that difficult.
Seeing this, Verdant Green Maiden took out a roasted ox leg and handed it over. "Take this! Stop staring at Brother Ox."
The ox was going to be scared to death.
Jingang's eyes lit up at the sight of the roasted ox leg. "Thank you, Goddess!"
Watching him beam with delight, Verdant Green Maiden asked, "Wolf Brother, what have you been doing lately? You've been so carefree that you even had time to watch a magic show."
At that, Jingang replied, "Didn't you say I should cross the river to protect the people? I only swam over a few days ago."
Swam over?
Verdant Green Maiden imagined Jingang paddling across the river.
Tsk...
Wolf Brother really did as he was told!
"Did you come alone?"
Jingang nodded, then shook his head. "Ti Ying and Bird Sister seem to have come too, but we're not together. They should have heard your Divine Decree as well."
"Mm."
Verdant Green Maiden nodded and said nothing more.
But when they entered the city, they found it quite lively today, with many young men and women coming and going.
"What day is it? Why is it so lively?"
Verdant Green Maiden found it strange too.
She stopped someone to ask, and only then learned that today was Qixi Festival.
"So it's Qiqiao Festival!"
Jingang
