Li Huai was reincarnated as a foolish emperor. His suspicions drove Xie Jue, who had been reincarnated as a general and was utterly loyal to him, to his death.
After their tribulations ended, they were rewarded according to their merits.
Li Huai was appointed the Heavenly God of Justice and also took charge as King of Hell in the Underworld.
But because Xie Jue's merits fell short, he was only appointed the God of Wealth.
And so...
Li Huai approved the funds, but Xie Jue refused to pay.
Li Huai asked for money, but Xie Jue refused to approve it.
Li Huai ran out of money, but Xie Jue wouldn't lend him any.
A single coin can bring a hero to his knees. Thus, the Palace of the God of Wealth became enemies with the Department of Justice and the Palace of the King of Hell.
The immortals of all three palaces fought fiercely. The Jade Emperor flew into a rage, stripped the heads of the two palaces of their divine powers, and banished them to the mortal world to accumulate merit. They would need to earn five billion merits before they could return to Heaven.
On their first day reporting to the human world,
Xie Jue looked at Li Huai, smiling brightly, and felt for the Sword That Slays Immortals in his robes.
When enemies meet, their eyes blaze with hatred.
They could fight and bicker all they liked, but they couldn't joke around with their divine ranks.
The two of them were penniless and powerless.
With five billion merits seeming hopelessly out of reach, they put their heads together
and decided to start a livestream, drawing talismans and telling fortunes for money.
The stream had barely started when a wealthy man, dripping in gold and seeking a son, showed up.
Xie Jue began, "Comrade, you have a broad forehead and a strong jaw. Unfortunately, dark energy has been gathering around you lately. I'm afraid you need to buy a few talismans..."
Li Huai: "You'll die without a son."
A rich woman came to the livestream to buy over a thousand talismans for protection.
Xie Jue: "I'll guarantee your safety for life."
Li Huai: "You don't have long to live."
A glamorous woman in a qipao, whose mother had come to the livestream to debunk the claims, dropped by.
Xie Jue: "Has your mother been acting strangely lately?"
Li Huai: "Your mom's dead."
Before long, the livestream was shut down.
Xie Jue turned to Li Huai, rummaged around with a sinister look, and grabbed some super glue to seal Li Huai's mouth shut.
Li Huai: "You could actually use something else to shut me up."
Xie Jue: "???"
Also known as: "What Should I Do When My Archrival Has a Crush on Me?" and "Banished to the Mortal World, I Went Viral Livestreaming Fortune-Telling with My Archrival"
