The Mountain God's Little Shrine Keeper

Lin Churong was banished to the mortal realm to cultivate anew as punishment for a mistake. He was assigned to guard a mountain god's temple whose deity had gone missing, becoming its little shrine keeper.

The mountain god's temple was dirt poor. If he wanted vegetables, he had to grow them himself; if he wanted chicken, he had to raise it himself.

As the only deity on the mountain, he had his hands full.

In his spare time, he had to take odd jobs to earn enough to eat.

When things got busy and too many pilgrims came to pray, he had to go down the mountain and capture demons and monsters.

But eventually, the pilgrims stopped praying for peace and safety. They started praying to find their true love.

Lin Churong was utterly despairing: This is way too much to ask of a single dog like me. QAQ

Yin Shiyi, the most powerful young master of the Yin family in the imperial capital, had recently run into a problem. It seemed a female ghost had latched onto him.

Every night when he went to sleep, he could hear a woman sobbing. It had scared off one group of servants after another, and he hadn't slept well for several nights in a row.

A feng shui master told him that his destined opportunity lay at the mountain god's temple outside the imperial capital, and sent him there to find a way to break the curse.

As he gazed at the mountain god's statue, a young shrine keeper beside him murmured, "This guy's loaded. I wish I could latch onto him, sob sob."

Yin Shiyi: ...?

Yin Shiyi looked over. The young shrine keeper smiled and nodded at him.

He hadn't said a word aloud, but Yin Shiyi heard him think again: This loaded guy's looking at me. Is he hoping I'll let him bask in my rich-person aura?

Yin Shiyi: ...

When did he gain the ability to hear other people's thoughts?
