Der Fall des Geisterboten – Die Geschichte einer Seele, die den Körper verlässt

Kapitel 10

"So it was you!!!" The river shrimp gritted its teeth, walked up to Yin Ming, and grabbed him by the collar. "Why did you throw things down? Pushing me last time didn't count, are you trying to kill me this time?!"

Yin Ming put down the roast suckling pig and shook his head. "No, no." He pointed to a table with incense and candles on one side. "Last time, we asked Master Ji You to exorcise the demon. Later, Master Ji You said that the one in the well wasn't a demon, but a deity. He told us to worship him properly to ensure the safety of our family. So my father told me..."

"I don't care! You hit me anyway!!!" The river shrimp gritted its teeth, its face filled with deep hatred.

"I'm sorry," Yin Ming said sincerely.

"Hmph!" The river shrimp released him, walked to the side, and picked up a pear. "Is this all you're offering?"

Yin Ming nodded. "Isn't that right? Then what should we offer?"

"Don't you even know the rules of the trade?" River Shrimp grinned sinisterly. "Boys and girls!"

Yin Ming was taken aback for a moment, "Miss He... that's not how jokes are told..."

"Who's joking with you!" River Shrimp tossed aside the pear and said, "That's right, there's a deity living in the well, but there are also many demons!" She pointed to herself, "For us demons, the fastest way to increase our power is to absorb the essence of young boys and girls. Don't you even know that?!"

Yinming looked at it, unsure of what to say.

"A fairy is a fairy. Don't get cocky just because I've been nice to you a little." The river shrimp grinned wickedly. "If I get upset one day, I'll eat you up!"

“Miss He, why are you scaring me?” Yin Ming smiled. “Master Ji You said that day that there are demons in the well, but they are all harmless and cultivate according to the righteous path, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t subdue them. You have never eaten a person.”

The river shrimp frowned. "It's not too late for me to start eating now!"

“Okay,” Yin Ming smiled nonchalantly, “You eat it.”

The river shrimp looked at him, and after a stick of incense had burned, it stiffly uttered, "So he's a madman..." After saying that, it jumped onto the well rim, ready to slip away.

"Young master, who are you talking to?" Suddenly, someone walked in.

The river shrimp instantly reverted to its original form. Thus, what the servant saw was his young master staring wide-eyed at a river shrimp on the well's edge.

"Hmm, why is there a river shrimp here?" The servant walked over in surprise.

The river shrimp waved its claws, signaling: You little punk! Dare to come any closer, or I'll pinch you to death!

Yinming immediately understood, "It probably crawled out of the well, it's alright. Could you bring me that roast pig?"

The servant immediately went to the side and brought over the roast suckling pig.

Yinming took the pig and threw it into the well.

"Oh no... there's a flying pig from outer space..." A scream came from the well.

"Kuroko, Kuroko, are you alright?!"

"Carp, I can't go on..."

"Hey, you have to hold on... Who's so heartless as to throw a pig at someone like that..."

Yin Ming's lips twitched, and he awkwardly scratched his hair.

The servant was terrified. "There really are gods!" He immediately ran away, crying, "Master, there are gods..."

The river shrimp snorted coldly, "Look what you've done."

"Kuroko, don't abandon me!"

"Carp, let's be brothers again in our next life..."

"Heizi!"

"Carp!"

"Heizi!"

"Carp!"

...

"Damn it! Who threw all that organic waste down here?!" The frog's roar erupted from the bottom of the well. "Who threw it down here?! This is a well, not a garbage can! OK? What! Roast suckling pig! Can't you use some common sense?! We're all vegetarians!!! Which bastard made this?! I'll swear I'll @#$%^&*..."

The river shrimp glanced at Yin Ming and slowly crawled away.

“Miss He,” Yinming called out to it, “I…I won’t be eaten, will I?”

The river shrimp scoffed, "Didn't you hear it say it's a vegetarian? Humans are so stupid..."

"It must be you again, you catfish!!! Damn it, damn it, damn it..." The frog's anger did not subside at all.

"Heh, speaking of which, it's awful, I once..."

"Old Catfish! Don't change the subject!!!"

= =#

Yinming scratched his head. In this situation, should they throw away the rest of the roasted whole lamb?

...

Chapter Seventeen

When the first autumn rain fell, the dragon happily looked up, watching the raindrops fall on the pond's surface. It never rains in the Heavenly Palace, and it remains fascinated by this sight to this day.

"I say..." the dragon's voice rang out, tinged with a hint of helplessness, "You're not the water official of this pond, are you? Why are you hanging around here every day!"

The dragon hugged its paws, "But the carp are all gone, my pond is so deserted... I can't stay in the frog's well forever..."

"Hmph, you can't even stand such a little loneliness!" the dragon scoffed.

"But...didn't you also engage in private feuds with your colleagues because you were bored?" Chi asked, puzzled.

"I..." The dragon was speechless.

The dragon swam to its side and said, "The old catfish once told me that loneliness is the most terrible thing. I didn't understand before, but these past few days, with them all gone, I've realized how unbearable that emptiness really is..."

The dragon closed its eyes, pretended to be asleep, and ignored it.

"You've been locked up all by yourself for so long, you must have been even more lonely than me, right?"

The dragon's voice echoed softly in my ears.

The dragon opened its eyes and glared at it, "No way! My life used to be so peaceful, and you've ruined it all!"

Chi looked at him and said, "You're lying."

"Who lied to you!" the dragon shouted angrily.

"Yo yo yo... What a temper..." A beam of seven-colored light shot into the pond in an instant, and a dragon with seven-colored scales swaggered in front of Chi and Jiaolong.

“It’s you,” the dragon said through gritted teeth.

"Long time no see~" The dragon swam over happily, causing the entire pond to shimmer with seven-colored light.

"Hello. I am Bai Chi." Chi greeted him politely.

The dragon looked at it and nodded, "I can tell. I am Rainbow."

"Rainbow?" Chi's eyes widened. "The rainbow that can emit auspicious seven-colored light?"

"Yes, yes..." Hong smiled, "I came to administer rain, and by the way, to see an old friend~"

"Who's your friend!" the dragon replied irritably.

"Tsk tsk, still so fierce~" Hongyou went over to look at it, "Hmm, you look pretty good~ You've been tied up for so long, but your spirits are still so high, no wonder you're a little dragon~"

"Don't call me Little Jiao!" the dragon glared at it angrily.

"Hehe~" Rainbow chuckled from the bottom of the pool, "Getting angry easily means you're calcium deficient~"

"Hmph." The dragon turned its head away, ignoring it.

"Are you friends?" Chi asked cautiously.

"Yeah, I was one of the onlookers when they were fighting privately back then—and, yeah, that fight was really something to watch!"

Then, Hong vividly recounted the battle. The blue sea raged, the wind howled and thunder roared, and the entire East China Sea was shrouded in an impenetrable fighting spirit; even the Heavenly Palace could feel the fierce killing intent.

The dragon was thrilled. In all its life, it had never seen anyone fight, nor had it ever felt any killing intent.

"Sigh." After talking for a while, Hong sighed, "A soldier should be on the battlefield. It's a waste to have him tied up like this."

"None of your business!" the dragon retorted angrily.

"So, what happened to that dragon in the East Sea?" Chi asked curiously.

"That one," Hong shook her head, "It couldn't defeat the little dragon, so it went to eat young boys and girls to increase its power. Later, it was killed by Nezha, the Third Prince. Poor thing..."

"Why should it..." the dragon sighed softly.

"Hehe, you're still the same as ever~ Not everyone is like you~" Hong approached it and examined it carefully. "Where did you get the inner core crystal?"

Before the dragon could speak, the dragon replied, "The frog."

"A frog?" A hint of mockery flashed in Hong's eyes. "After chasing it for hundreds of years, it seems you've developed feelings for it after all~"

"You—" The dragon moved, and the water-suppressing sword cut into its flesh and bones, shaving off its scales.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited. I was just worried you'd be bored, so I told you a joke~" Hong waved her paw.

"You're the boring one!"

“Hehe~” Hong looked at Chi and laughed, “Yeah, you shouldn’t be bored now, right?” It squinted its eyes, “Actually, as long as you have a companion, you’ll be happy anywhere… If you had known this back then, you wouldn’t have broken the heavenly rules.”

“Not everyone is like you…” the dragon muttered in dissatisfaction.

At this moment, another seven-colored ray of light fell into the pond, and another dragon with seven-colored scales appeared in the pond.

“Rainbow, the rain has stopped, let’s go back,” it said to the rainbow.

"Mmm!" Rainbow wagged its tail. "Hehe, little dragon, I'm leaving now~ I'll come see you again next time~"

"No need to come again!" the dragon shouted at its retreating back.

"Hehe..." Rainbow flew out of the pond, soared into the air, and dispelled the rain clouds.

"You're really meddling in other people's business. What's so interesting about this prisoner?" the seven-colored dragon said.

“Don’t say that, Ni.” Ni looked at the pond. “…Everyone is afraid of being alone…”

Ni sighed, "I'm so lonely..."

...

"Wow, it's a rainbow..."

Inside the well, the demons looked up and saw a beautiful rainbow at the well's opening.
