Si Wen Bing didn't look at the two priests. Instead, he deeply bowed to Ji Wu.
Standing on the city wall, Ji Wu's clothes were luxurious, made from multicolored silkworm silk. Around his waist was a golden dragon-skin belt, with over ten glowing jade pieces dangling from it.
Ji Wu also had a black ice silk hairband on his forehead, inlaid with over ten thumb-sized gemstones. He held his hands behind his body, standing on the city wall. His entire body was sparkling, and he was tall and sturdy, looking noble and mighty, like a god.
As for Si Wen Bing, who was bowing deeply to him, he had been soaking in the water for a long time, fighting against water-kind spirit creatures day and night, without any rest. His coarse clothes were already ragged, even exposing the muscles on his shoulders and buttocks.
His thighs were bared. His pale skin was soaked in the water, without even a single fine hair, and all fine hairs had fallen off.
His hair was messy as well, looking like a broken bird's nest. Added with his rusty face and tired look, Si Wen Bing looked like an old beggar who had been suffering for a long time. His entire body had been emitting an indescribable, destitute look.
Compared to Ji Wu, who was wearing a splendid royal robe, with a jade-like face and a faint aroma of incense, Si Wen Bing looked like a puddle of mud on the ground. Compared to Ji Wu, who looked so handsome, Si Wen Bing didn't even look like a human being.
Si Wen Bing was a high-level Divine Magus, but he had been struggling in the flood for so many days, yet he still ended up like this. It was not hard to imagine how miserable those Magus Kings, Senior Magi, and those human beings who didn't even have the power of Senior Magi were.
Si Wen Bing bowed deeply to Ji Wu, as if he didn't remember that he was Ji Wu's distant uncle. According to the human etiquette, Ji Wu should be the one to bow to him first when they met each other!
"Lord Ji Wu, this flood has made countless human beings homeless and destitute. Their families have been destroyed. The flood has been raging, and with every passing day, the humankind has been losing more life-force. Look at those people behind me, for the flood-control mission … "
Ji Wu laughed out loud. He raised his head and laughed towards the sky. His sonorous laughter even shattered a miles-thick water column, which had been descending from the sky. The water column turned into countless human-head-sized water balls and smashed down.
The city was protected by those lotuses in the water tanks. When the water ball was still hundreds of meters away from the city wall, it was evaporated by a soft layer of colorful light. Countless water balls struck on Si Wen Bing's head and body, making his messy hair even more messy, hanging on his face like countless water weeds.
Si Wen Bing and the few warriors behind him all looked especially embarrassed. Si Wen Bing was still bowing deeply, while the few warriors behind him glanced at Ji Wu in anger. Eventually, they helplessly lowered their heads.
"I saw the flood!" "But, my people didn't suffer. Look, my people in Ying Water City are living in peace and contentment. They have food and water … Over ten-thousand cities and villages in Ying Yue Mountain are all safe and sound. No flood happened." said Ji Wu with a frivolous tone.
"You can't control the flood, that's because you're useless!" Said Ji Wu proudly, "Look at you, you look like Jurassic beasts whose shed was broken by the flood. I'm angry just by looking at you!"
"Look at your faces, look at your clothes, and smell the sour smell coming from you!" Ji Wu turned around in disgust, gave a long sigh, and said, "How many days has it been since you took a hot bath? His body stinks, and he's no different from an animal! "
Shaking his head, Ji Wu continued blandly, "You bowed to me and said nice words to me … You just want me to let you control the flood!"
Si Wen Bing pretended that he didn't hear Ji Wu. He raised his head, grinned embarrassedly, and responded, "Yes, Lord Ji Wu. Please let us control the river and the mountains."
Taking a deep breath, Si Wen Bing continued with a deep voice, "As long as the Fei Water is controlled, all three to four thousand water meridians in the area will be unobstructed. A big half of the excess moisture in the air will be drawn away, and the storm will be much smaller. The flood will be …"
Ji Wu rudely interrupted Si Wen Bing and said, "Don't talk to me about these useless things. I don't think this heavy rain is bad at all. The sound of the wind and the rain is pleasant."
Laughing with a weird tone, Ji Wu pointed at the flood, which was hundreds of meters away from the city gate, and continued with a dark voice, "As for this flood, it's so vast, so magnificent, so beautiful. I thought it wasn't magnificent enough. You've made the flood smaller. What can I enjoy then?"
Si Wen Bing's face twitched. Subconsciously, he clenched his fists.
The storm destroyed countless human villages, and you said that the sounds of the wind and the rain were pleasant to the ears?
The flood that destroyed countless human beings' families and left corpses floating in tens of thousands of miles away … Do you think this flood is not strong enough, not magnificent enough?
As a landowner, as a human leader who was related to the life and death of hundreds of millions of people, and more importantly, you're a descendant of Emperor Ku! Ji Wu, how can you say something like this?
What do you think about your responsibility to protect your people?
What do you think about the glory left by Emperor Ku?
Back in a peaceful day, Hao Tao could capture Ji Wu with his warriors and imprison him in Pu Ban City forever, because of what Ji Wu just said.
"Ji Wu!" Si Wen Bing slowly straightened his waist and growled Ji Wu's name word by word, "You, are you worthy of your ancestor, Emperor Ku? Do you deserve the family name of Gao Xin? Do you deserve to be a descendant of Emperor Xuanyuan? "
Ji Wu laughed scornfully. Looking down at Si Wen Bing, he responded blandly, "Whether I'm a descendant of Emperor Ku or not, are you qualified to talk about that? Whether I'm a descendant of Emperor Xuanyuan or not, unless the elders of You Xiong Family in You Xiong City say it, who dares to say that? "
Reaching out his hands, Ji Wu carefully looked at his smooth, well-maintained hands, then said slowly, "Go back, I don't want to talk to a small fry like you. If you want to touch my Fei Water territory, want to control the flood through my territory … Let Si Wen Ming come here himself, eh? "
Pointing at Si Wen Bing, Ji Wu grinned and continued, "Remember, give him three days. Let Si Wen Ming come here and beg me."
"Beg me, make me happy, then make Si Wen Ming give up the throne. If I'm happy, I might let you control the flood." Ji Wu grinned brightly, "You see, we're all descendants of Emperor Xuanyuan, we're all relatives … Si Wen Ming can inherit the throne, but I can't, can't I?"
Si Wen Bing's face turned blue in anger, and he even began trembling intensely.
Ji Wu actually wanted the throne of the human emperor! He didn't do anything. On the contrary, he was dragging the flood-control mission down. But just like that, he dared to try for the throne!
"How dare you!" Si Wen Bing growled in anger. He leaped up, trod on a fierce gale, and rose to the height of the city wall. Pointing at Ji Wu, he yelled, "How dare you!"
