Chapter 225: Found You
“Thank you so much, Ji Yang.”
“It’s great that Ji Yang is back; otherwise, we would have to wait a bit longer.”
“Ji Yang, you’re not going out anymore, right? What’s so great outside? Just live steadily in the village. If you need anything, you can just go to Aunt Zhao’s house.”
…
Listening to the villagers’ warm thanks, Ji Yang smiled in response, nodding repeatedly but not saying much.
Even some villagers brought out eggs and other items from their homes to thank Ji Yang, but he politely declined them one by one.
In the end, the villagers had no choice but to take their things back home.
“Aunt Zhao, I’ll take a walk by the river.”
“Alright, come back early for dinner.”
“Okay.”
Leaving the village, Ji Yang walked towards the riverbank without using any spells to speed up.
He planned to stay in the village for a few days and return once the farm work calmed down.
Though he didn’t speed up, Ji Yang’s strong legs got him to the only large river next to the village quickly.
The river was quite wide. If it were in his past life, boats would have passed by, and the nearby villages would have thrived with trade, making transportation much more convenient.
However, this world was vast, but the population was relatively sparse. Rivers of this size were abundant, and due to the desolate surroundings, there were not many fishermen living off the water.
At a glance, the river was glittering with light, and the depths were hard to see.
Looking at the river before him, Ji Yang snorted softly.
He didn’t believe there could be any fish that could pull him into the water this time.
He thought of using the causal fishing rod, but considering the Heavenly punishment buff above and worrying about attracting the attention of the villagers, Ji Yang took out the standard fishing rod he had gotten from Tianxing Lake from his storage bag.
Although this rod was standard, it felt like a waste to use it for common fish.
Given the fishing conditions here, Ji Yang originally wanted to use ordinary bait. However, the least he had on him was top-quality spiritual grains, so he had to make do with that.
Ji Yang found a large rock and sat on it, feeling at ease.
The river flowed gently, with only some waves creating sounds that echoed across the area.
He had expected the top-quality spiritual grains to work wonders, but after waiting for a while without seeing any bites, Ji Yang frowned.
He was itching to jump into the water to check what was going on. With such a large river, could there really be no fish?
If fish didn’t bite soon, he wouldn’t hesitate to use force!
“Ji Yang, are you fishing?”
Just as Ji Yang was about to leap into the water for a closer look, a few women with wooden buckets approached from the riverbank.
Ji Yang had no choice but to put his thoughts aside and nodded:
“Yes, Aunt Hua. Are you here to fetch water?”
The several aunties spoke up one after another:
“Isn’t that right? It hasn’t rained in a long time. If it keeps up like this, this year’s harvest will be poor.”
“Exactly! If we don’t fetch some water soon, all of our seedlings will die.”
Hearing this, Ji Yang spoke up:
“I see a few dark clouds today; it shouldn’t be long before it rains, so you don’t need to fetch too much.”
The aunties looked up at the clear blue sky and replied:
“With this tricky weather, we should fetch a few more buckets just in case.”
“Aunt Liu, let’s take what we have back and come for more later.”
“Alright.”
Watching the women leave, Ji Yang glanced at the sky.
On the way, the group had to stop and rest for a moment. Aunt Hua, wearing a worried expression, said:
“Aunt Liu, do you think Ji Yang has his eyes on my daughter, Xiao Hua?”
“No doubt about it! Your daughter is beautiful and hardworking. Ji Yang just hasn’t noticed yet, but if he did, he would surely like her.”
“Alas, it’s a pity my girl married early. Otherwise, I would definitely say something.”
Listening to the conversation around her, Aunt Hua beamed with joy, feeling a bit more energized even while fetching water.
“Why does it seem a bit darker now?”
Just as they were about to continue their journey, one of the aunties suddenly looked puzzled and then everyone turned their gaze skywards.
They saw that the originally clear blue sky had turned gloomy, with several dark clouds gathering overhead.
The women were surprised:
“Could it be that Ji Yang was right? Is it really going to rain?”
As they exchanged doubtful glances, a bolt of lightning lit up the sky, followed closely by drops of rain pouring down.
“Fantastic! Fantastic!”
“It’s really raining! This will save us so much work.”
“Ji Yang is quite capable; he said it would rain, and here it is.”
“Come on, let’s stop fetching water and head back!”
“Since we’ve suggested it, let’s take it back with us.”
“Sounds good.”
…
Watching the happy women leave, Ji Yang smiled slightly.
Rain? That’s something he was good at.
In the fine rain, not a single drop splashed near Ji Yang; he continued sitting calmly by the riverbank.
In the distance, Elder Li looked gloomy.
After searching for a long time and asking many ordinary people, he still hadn’t found Ji Yang, which made Elder Li extremely angry.
“Damn Ji Yang, where did he run off to?
Could it be that I guessed wrong?
While pondering, Elder Li suddenly looked into the distance, his expression filled with surprise:
“Small Rain Technique?”
After confirming the traces of the spell, a cold smile crept onto Elder Li’s lips.
This time, it should be right, shouldn’t it?
You shouldn’t, of all things, use a spell, especially such a large-scale one.
Without hesitation, Elder Li flew toward the area where it was raining.
By the river, Ji Yang shifted his gaze to the distance, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes.
Someone is coming?
A cultivator.
He seems somewhat familiar.
There aren’t many people who can make him feel familiar.
Could it be Ruan Yong’an and the others?
As the distance between them decreased, Ji Yang saw the approaching figure first.
At that moment, Elder Li was also overjoyed; once he entered the range of the Large Cloud Rain Technique, he sensed a familiar aura.
It is Ji Yang, no doubt about it.
Elder Li quickened his pace, and soon Ji Yang’s figure appeared in his sight.
Seeing that there was no one around and only Ji Yang alone, Elder Li couldn’t help but laugh out loud:
“Hahaha, Ji Yang, I finally found you!”
Looking at Elder Li, who came over laughing heartily, Ji Yang felt a bit confused but still asked:
“I see, it’s Elder Li. But why isn’t Elder Li cultivating spiritual grains in the spiritual herb garden and instead came here?”
Elder Li snorted coldly:
“Ji Yang, stop pretending to be confused. If it weren’t for you, how would I end up like this? I am no longer a sect elder; today, I will ensure you have no place to be buried to quench my hatred!”
Hearing this, Ji Yang’s expression remained calm as he slightly nodded:
“I see. Little Li, I advise you to keep your cool.”
“Cool? I’m perfectly calm right now. Once I kill you, I’ll join the Heaven Demon Sect. Isn’t that much better than planting spiritual grains in that Feng Ling Valley?”
“Ji Yang, surrender quietly, and I can give you a quick death.”
“Heaven Demon Sect?”
“Did you do something about the spiritual herb garden?”
Ji Yang’s expression turned somewhat somber.
