After Being Banished to the Mortal Realm, My Archrival Came Looking for Me

Ji Yunyishen is the God of Wealth, the richest god in the Three Realms.

But no one knows that in the mortal world, he eats wild greens, lives in a thatched hut, and won't throw away clothes even when they're worn out.

Except for his archenemy, the Kitchen God, Cang Tiao.

After emerging from seclusion, Cang Tiao hears that his archenemy has been banished to the mortal world. Hoping to see him in dire straits, he follows him there.

He transforms into a mortal poisoned by a toxin and collapses in front of Ji Yunyishen.

But he never expects Ji Yunyishen to care for him so attentively, or to be willing to go to the Demon Realm to find a cure for his poison.

Cang Tiao: So it really is true. He's nice to everyone except me!

As they spend day and night together, Cang Tiao discovers something else he can't understand.

After being Ji Yunyishen's archenemy for hundreds of years, why does he not only worship the Kitchen God, but also carry around a portrait of him?!

Cang Tiao: Hm? Is he plotting something?

Later,

The two fight their way through demons and gods alike. They not only obtain the antidote, but also unexpectedly learn the truth behind Ji Yunyishen's banishment to the mortal world.

It's only then that Ji Yunyishen realizes the person who has been by his side is his archenemy!

But by then it's too late.

The nosy gods: "I never would have guessed you two were..."

Ji Yunyishen: "Don't make things up. There's nothing between us."

Cang Tiao: "That's right. He just admires me."

Ji Yunyishen: "Nonsense. I just want your good luck."

Cang Tiao: "Want me, then."

A hundred years after ascending, Cang Tiao meets someone.

Dressed in gold and white and surrounded by gods, he is the most handsome deity Cang Tiao has ever seen.

Cang Tiao asks someone nearby, "Who is that?"

"The God of Wealth, Ji Yunyishen."

He had thought Ji Yunyishen, standing high among the clouds, was a truly unattainable immortal.

But...

No one could have imagined that the Kitchen God and the God of Wealth would loathe each other at first sight.

They bicker in public and sabotage each other in private. Whenever they get together, all the gods in the Celestial Realm tremble in fear.

Ji Yunyishen gives him a fake smile. "Actually, I don't want to be at odds with the Kitchen God. Just stop keeping your eyes on me."

Cang Tiao holds back his frustration. "You're the one who started this."

Ji Yunyishen: "..."

Did I?
