Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 1: The Dao Heart Of The Materialist God Of War Is Broken

Chapter 1: The Snake and Dragon Seek Recognition, the Shattered Heart of Materialist War God Daoxin

"Good river, good water, good mountain, but unfortunately not my hometown."

Distant mountains surround,

The torrential river flows from the sky, rushing and crashing against the shore.

Such magnificent nature, compared to human power, is incredibly small.

Along the riverbank and among the mountains,

There are few signs of human habitation,

But there is a man and a donkey who stop and stay.

The donkey pulls a simple wooden cart,

On the flat surface of the cart,

A handsome young man dressed in a blue robe, holding a folding fan, with the appearance of a scholar.

However, his clothes are somewhat disheveled,

And he leans lazily against the wooden board.

Looking at the awe-inspiring rushing river not far away, he can't help but sigh softly.

Such a beautiful river and mountains.

If it were in his previous life, it would probably be crowded during the May Day holiday.

Unlike now,

Where everyone is busy with their livelihoods,

The grand rivers and mountains are only enjoyed by him alone.

Unknowingly, he has been in this world for sixteen years.

Bai Yu is a person who has been reborn through time and space.

Originally living in a country illuminated by the red flag,

Suddenly, he woke up one night and was reborn into this world, becoming a baby in a household.

The civilization of this world is no different from the civilization of ancient feudal kingdoms.

Clothing, etiquette, language, culture...

In all aspects, they are very similar.

At first, Bai Yu thought he had been reborn into a past dynasty.

He was preparing to use his advantage of knowing history in advance, like other predecessors who had traveled through time, to deceive the emperor and achieve great success.

But unexpectedly,

"The Qianyuan Dynasty"

The name of a kingdom that he had never heard of before.

Checking the history of past kingdoms in this world, it is completely different from the 5,000 years of civilization that he is familiar with.

Well, this is an unfamiliar ancient world.

A bucket of cold water poured over his head.

Bai Yu instantly lost his enthusiasm and decided to give up on lying low.

Fortunately, his luck was good, and he was reborn into the first wealthy family in the area, with a prosperous family background.

He couldn't become an emperor or a prime minister, wielding power and determining the fate of the world.

But he could live a carefree life, being a lazy and indulgent young master.

Although there aren't as many entertainment options as in the information age, he can still lie down and enjoy life leisurely.

However...

Ancient times had their own troubles.

Parents' words can break through the sky.

He was intelligent since childhood,

But Dad didn't know which fortune teller he listened to,

Saying that his destiny had dragons and tigers, with a force that reached the heavens,

Both immortals and ghosts feared him, destined for greatness.

He would enter the imperial court and display his grand ambitions.

Dad was easily fooled, laughing with a wide-open mouth.

Who doesn't love hearing good things?

He directly said, "My son has great fortune, my son has the appearance of a prime minister or general."

Luckily, he didn't say he had the potential to become an emperor.

Bai Yu also felt somewhat helpless.

Dad, we must believe in science.

Although reincarnation has happened, Bai Yu is still a pure materialist warrior.

Ancient people were superstitious, that's because they didn't understand.

There are no immortals, gods, ghosts, or fate theories, it's all science!

We must believe in science!

Unfortunately, Dad couldn't understand his superhuman thoughts.

He planned out his life for him.

Studying diligently for six years, reading the books of sages,

Waiting for the day of the imperial examination, aiming for fame and glory, bringing honor to the ancestors.

This is the tragedy of ancient times,

The younger generation doesn't have much choice.

But studying and taking exams is just fine, although it's a winding path,

It is indeed a path to success.

Bai Yu was already precocious, studying for six years, combined with the insights from his past life.

At a young age, he passed the provincial examination and obtained the title of a scholar.

Waiting for the day of the imperial examination.

Not to mention achieving a high-ranking official position, entering the top echelons of power.

But coming back to become a local county magistrate or village chief would be more than enough.

However... parents' orders, matchmaker's words.

That is something Bai Yu truly cannot accept.

Even if it's about having a graceful and beautiful fiancée, that would be tolerable.

Poor Dad, he set up a marriage for his son,

It seems to be the daughter of the friendly neighbor, the Zhu family.

Bai Yu hasn't even met her,

But... it is said that the girl is very robust, with a good physique for childbearing.

Hmm, to be more specific, she weighs over 200 catties (100 kg), a slightly plump beauty. In ancient times, being fat was considered auspicious, indicating good eating habits, and losing weight would definitely reveal potential.

Old Bai plans to finalize this marriage before Bai Yu goes to the capital for the examination, and hopefully have a child as well.

That would be considered starting a family.

In the future, when I establish my career, I will have a foundation.

Bai Yu was so scared that he quickly left a letter, saying, "How can I dare to miss a good woman when I have nothing?"

"If my country is not settled, how can I start a family?"

He hurriedly rode his donkey and left overnight.

He was afraid that if he was late, he would be crushed to death by the slightly chubby girl on the bed.

In recent days, he had countless nightmares of the slightly chubby girl smiling at him in the middle of the night.

Although love is not solely based on appearance,

But, let's be honest, it still matters.

It's a bit outrageous to marry someone you haven't even met!

So, Bai Yu bid farewell to his lazy and aimless life and hastily embarked on a journey.

Bai Yu's hometown, Liuzhou, is considered part of the northern region of the country.

In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient.

At his leisurely pace, it would probably take him at least a month or so to arrive.

Fortunately, he had knowledge from two lifetimes and was also intelligent.

He didn't feel nervous or panicked along the way.

He maintained a relaxed mindset,

Traveling thousands of miles can also be considered a part of life.

It can be seen as a journey of self-discovery.

The local people call this river the "Jumping Dragon River,"

It is said that during thunderstorms, people have seen dragons emerging from the water,

Causing chaos and creating huge waves.

Hence the name "Jumping Dragon River."

There are also many legendary stories associated with it.

Bai Yu understood this.

Ancient people always liked to give grand names like "dragon" and "tiger."

It's normal.

If this majestic and magnificent river were called the "Earthworm River," it would instantly lose its grandeur, wouldn't it?

As for dragons, legends are just legends.

How can we take the boasting of ancient people seriously?

Dragons don't exist in this world,

They are just products of imagination.

The materialistic warrior does not believe in them!

However, at this moment,

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly,

Just a moment ago, the sky was clear and sunny, but suddenly dark clouds covered the sun, and strong winds blew, causing sand and dust to swirl.

The surging river water became even more turbulent and fierce, and a huge vortex formed in the middle of the wide river, as if something was stirring up the clouds and rain within it.

Bai Yu: ...

Why did the weather suddenly change?

It's so hopeless without weather forecasts in ancient times!

However, in the next moment,

"Roar!"

Accompanied by deafening roars and howls, Bai Yu had never heard such a beastly roar before, as if it were the sound of bells and drums.

Then,

A figure nearly a hundred meters tall suddenly rose from the center of the river vortex.

Its massive body covered the sky.

Well, the Loch Ness Monster might actually exist.

The little donkey was so scared that it lay on the ground pretending to be dead.

Bai Yu also felt a bit helpless,

Alright, it seems that I really don't need to marry the slightly chubby girl.

The water curtain covered the sky, amidst the misty drizzle.

The newcomer finally revealed its appearance to Bai Yu.

A huge "python," with its black scales neatly arranged, emitted a faint glow in the strong wind. Its massive body stood in the air, shining with divine light.

It had two horns on its head and no limbs,

Slightly bowing its head, its enormous skull exuded a terrifying aura.

Its black vertical pupils scanned the surroundings,

Finally, its gaze fell upon Bai Yu, a mortal who was infinitely smaller than itself.

Its eyes seemed to hold no hostility, just watching him, spitting out its tongue, as if waiting for something.

The man and the snake stared at each other like this.

At the same time,

[Seeking to Seal the Dragon]

[Please choose:]

[1. Seal the dragon, obtain rewards: Dragon-Snake Blood, Dragon-summoning Bell]

[2. Seal the snake, be cursed]

A prompt that only Bai Yu could see appeared before his eyes.
