How could the Red-Haired Ghost be human? (2/3)

Under the swift speed of the storm, Li Boyang quickly arrived at Mountain Hollow Village.

As for that Kingfisher?

After briefly explaining and introducing the Gods of the Five Directions, she left without hesitation.

As the Kingfisher herself said, her grandmother did not approve of her private meeting with Li Boyang.

That was simply a decision made on the spur of the moment by the Kingfisher out of his friendship with Xiluo.

If Li Boyang is determined to get involved in this conflict, Kingfisher only hopes that the information she provides will allow him to escape unscathed, or even back down.

"Hello?"

To Li Boyang's surprise, when he appeared at the entrance of Mountain Hollow Village...

The villagers were busy working in the fields as usual, a picture of peaceful tranquility.

The Heavenly Eye between Li Boyang's brows suddenly opened, and after a brief glance, he understood.

"You've really had a lot of bad luck!"

After a brief moment of reflection, Li Boyang strolled into the village.

During this process, the villagers of Mountain Hollow Village naturally noticed Li Boyang and took the initiative to greet him.

Seeing this, Li Boyang didn't expose them, but smiled and waved in response, without stopping at all.

Before long, Li Boyang arrived outside Uncle Lu's courtyard.

As the village head, Uncle Lu's house had no striking features; it was simply located a little off the village entrance. "Arbiter of Fate, why did you arrive early today?"

Pushing open her front door, Lu Suiniang looked at Li Boyang in surprise.

In the courtyard, wisps of smoke could be faintly seen rising from the chimneys.

It was obvious that Lu Suiniang was cooking.

If Li Boyang hadn't arrived early, he would have arrived just in time for lunch.

"Something came up and I needed to come over early to take care of it."

A faint smile appeared on Li Boyang's face. He stared at Lu Suiniang for a long time before suddenly asking a question.

"Where's the amulet I gave you? I didn't see you wearing it today."

Upon hearing this, Lu Suiniang was clearly stunned for a moment before belatedly glancing down at her chest.

"Oh yes? Where's my amulet?"

After tilting her head and thinking for a while, Lu Suiniang suddenly realized and said...

"Oh my memory! I hung my amulet by my bedside when I took my afternoon nap!"

"I only went without it for a short while, it should be fine, right?"

As she said this, Lu Suiniang looked at Li Boyang cautiously, as if afraid that he would utter a "no".

"It's okay, I've got mine."

Li Boyang gently took off his red fur coat and handed it to Lu Suiniang.

"It's almost winter now, so you should wear more clothes when you go out."

"Wear this for now, I'm going to see your father."

Without giving Lu Suiniang a chance to refuse, Li Boyang stuffed the clothes into her hands and turned to walk towards the altar.

He watched Li Boyang's figure disappear from his sight.

Lu Suiniang blinked, looking somewhat bewildered.

Then he looked down at the red fur coat in his hand.

"What am I doing?"

For some unknown reason, Lu Suiniang instinctively put on the red fur coat, and her eyes seemed to become a little clearer.

"I never imagined you actually cared about these Mountain Folk!"

When Li Boyang arrived near the altar, Qingfu slowly turned around.

At Qingfu's feet, Uncle Lu had completely lost consciousness, and could only be told he was still alive by his faint breathing.

"I never expected you to stand so openly in front of me."

Due to the height difference between the two.

Therefore, Li Boyang had to tilt his head back slightly to see Qingfu's appearance clearly.

However, in terms of imposing presence, Li Boyang far surpassed Qingfu by a great deal.

After being stared at for only a short while, Qingfu couldn't stand it and turned his head away.

Faint bluish-green snake scales emerged from beneath its skin, much like a hedgehog whose hairs stood on end when provoked.

"Who gave you the courage to stand in front of me?"

"Ignorance? Or is it the Green Wood Clan residing within you?"

Upon hearing Li Boyang's words, Qingfu's pupils dilated in shock, and the look of disbelief on his face was completely genuine. "It seems you don't even know that your god is actually hidden within your body?"

He keenly noticed the change in Qingfu's expression.

Li Boyang tossed the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron aside, then spoke with a similarly strange expression.

"It seems your gods don't completely trust you either!"

Li Boyang admitted that his words had an element of sowing discord, but he did not expect the Green Wood Clan to react so strongly.

Boom!

A flash of blue light followed.

The Qingfu suddenly transformed into a beautiful snake with a human body and a snake tail.

From those upright golden pupils, it was clear that the one currently in control of this body was Green Wood Clan.

"I was originally curious to see just who this person was who would entrust such a magical artifact to a simple village woman."

"But now it seems you know a little too much!"

Its size expands rapidly; its body grows at a rate visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, Green Wood Clan had grown to be five or six meters tall, reaching a height that allowed him to completely look down on Li Boyang.

At the neck of the Green Wood Clan, the [Yin-Yang Talisman Incantation] that was magnified simultaneously stood out conspicuously.

It was precisely through the power of the [Yin-Yang Talisman Incantation] that this was achieved.

Only Green Wood Clan was able to so quickly reconcile his relationship with this body and maximize his power as Heavenly Deity.

Yes, unlike the half-baked "demigod" approach used when dealing with the Deception Rabbit.

At this moment, Green Wood Clan regained the body he had before becoming Heavenly Deity, yet perfectly preserved that Heavenly Deity power.

"So after all that, you stole my yin-yang symbol, but you don't even know who I am?"

Li Boyang sighed with feigned helplessness, his calm and composed tone startling Green Wood Clan.

"Who are you?"

Green Wood Clan, he opened his mouth and asked a question, feeling vaguely as if he had committed a grave offense.

"As expected, it seems there are differences even among Heavenly Deity."

"You're far inferior to the Roaring Heaven Clan." No wonder he went to such lengths to hide his true form within a mortal's body and travel all the way to these Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Li Boyang could clearly see that after hearing his words, Green Wood Clan's expression became strange and he looked stunned.

"You're the Red-Haired Ghost!?"

Only then did Green Wood Clan realize what was happening, his mouth agape in shock.

How is that possible?

"You're clearly just a human, how could you possibly be Red-Haired Ghost?"

Green Wood Clan still remembered Li Boyang's manifestation as Yang God, and the power he displayed by splitting mountains and rivers with a single sword strike.

Therefore, she simply could not reconcile it with the red-haired boy before her.

It is common knowledge that Heavenly Deity must abandon their mortal bodies to become Heavenly Deity.
