Whoosh

The sky that should have welcomed the morning sun was instead dark and hidden, swept by a raging wind. Clouds rapidly piled upon each other, blocking the sunlight completely, leaving the world in a gloomy state, making the night- which should have ended- appear to linger on.

Flash—

A branch-like lightning bolt roared in the sky, bringing a brief moment of brightness to the earth, illuminating countless faces filled with joy. Farmers, who rose early to work on the fields, couldn’t help but beam with joy and excitement at the sight of the overcast sky.

“It’s raining, haha, finally, a heavy rain is coming!”

“The heavens have opened, and the river god has shown his power!”

“Our wheat is saved!”

Full of joyous cheering under the increasingly dark and oppressive cloud cover, it seemed so out of place. Some naive children, startled by the continuous thunder in the sky and the sound of the howling wind, broke into tears. Yet the adults, despite the gloomy sky, laughed heartily.

DripDrip-

Soon, under the expectant eyes of the farmers, large drops of rain fell from the sky, hitting the parched earth, moisturizing the land that had longed for rain for an extended time.

The rain fell like a waterfall, seemingly enough to make up for all the rain that hadn’t fallen since the start of planting season.

The rain poured from the sky and quickly moisturized the long-parched earth. When the anxious farmers saw the rain gradually reducing, the heavy rain clouds were blown further away by the raging wind.

“The river god has shown himself!”

“Long live the Dragon King!”

Witnessing this timely rain, ending just as it needed to, several farmers kneeled on the ground in worship, giving thanks to whoever had brought the rain, whether it was River Water Monarch who controlled the river or the mysterious Heavenly Father.

“On behalf of the people of Xining County, I thank Second Young Master Feng!”

As the rain clouds began to scatter and the morning sun was about to shine, a golden ghost-like figure in the sky bowed deeply to the entity standing above the retreating clouds.

The being causing the rainstorm wasn’t even human-shaped; it was just a fine horse standing among the clouds, with its hooves upon the snow. However, the city’s deity perceived the other party’s strong power.

A great demon!

Following the orders of the rumored Second Young Master Feng to bring about the rain, even though he also spent a lot of divine power guiding the gathering of clouds. Yet his contribution was nothing compared to this fine horse who mainly directed the cascading downpour.

Sen Miao, instead, glanced at the city’s deity and nodded slightly, not giving any verbal response, and led the rain clouds towards the next rainfall site. She must muster seven heavy rainfalls within two days, without wasting too much time and energy unnecessarily.

Sing-

A melodious dragon chant came from afar, and as a Kirin, Sen Miao could sense a small golden silhouette frolicking among the rain clouds above, pouring down a heavy rain.

At that moment, not only she and another were raining down on South Shao Prefecture, but also three other great water clan demons from the Water Mansion and Dragon Palace, temporarily under the command of Feng Qing’an.

As South Shao Prefecture finally witnessed a long-awaited rain slowing the drought, the young man sitting at the divine platform in the Water Mansion and Dragon Palace looked worried.

“Being a Water Monarch is not so easy, after all!”

Initially, Feng Qing’an thought that by managing the privilege of rainfall, even in the absence of the Water Monarch, he could replace him and prevent any impact on the people living alongside the rivers.

Indeed, conjuring rain was not a big deal; some gifted demon creatures could leverage the natural environment to bring about heavy rain.

However, if you were to conjure a certain amount of rain in different locations within a day? Mountains have no definite shape, water has no straight route, and the quantity could cause a disaster if a slight bit more than necessary.

Divine positions and divine power are not toys. Once they are in your hands, you must fulfill the corresponding responsibilities. Moreover, this is not something you do for a while and then stop; the rights of gods must be executed daily, which is part of day-to-day life for a deity.

From the day he left home, having spent his time wandering and exploring, Feng Qing’an felt immense pressure. He was dealing with the aftermath of his own sword strike, satisfying his curiosity and experiencing what it meant to be a Water Monarch.

However, who could have known that being a monarch in charge of a thousand-mile river would be so tough? As the Water Monarch, you must look after more than just South Shao Prefecture, as it only comprises a portion of the entire area through which the river runs.

The people in other states also worshiped the Wave River Water Monarch and prayed for rain. This resulted in Feng Qing’an, who took over as Water Monarch, not getting proper rest since then.

He frequently received pleas for rain and didn’t get a single moment of peace. This was even with the aid of an old turtle. Yet, Feng Qing’an still felt exhausted.

“My Lord, this is the result of your unwillingness to refine the water veins. If you are willing, as long as you fully control the water veins of the Wave River, you can bring rain with a single thought.. It wouldn’t be so troublesome!”
