[Tsundere Immortal x Brooding Office Worker]
After realizing that hard work was useless, Su Zheng fell in love with the occult. Every week, without fail, she knelt for hours in front of the Temple of the God of Wealth.
Afraid the God of Wealth might not hear how sincere she was, she followed the method taught by a forum guru: she bought yellow paper, drew some strange talismans, and burned them.
Afterward, she thought she might be a little crazy. But when she saw an immortal in flowing white robes appear in her home, Su Zheng was even more certain of one thing: that forum guru really did teach some useful stuff!
It was just that she wanted money, not a person!
Who wouldn't be scared if someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere in their home?!
Su Zheng's voice trembled. "Didn't they say... that after the founding of the country, spirits weren't allowed to become monsters?"
"A monster?" The immortal chuckled. "I was born from primordial chaos. You should call me a god."
Su Zheng swallowed. "You're... really the God of Wealth..."
"What God of Wealth?" The immortal furrowed his brow. "I am the God of Clouds and Rain, master of the clouds and rain of heaven and earth."
Su Zheng blurted out instinctively, "Isn't that the Thunder Duke and Lightning Goddess?"
Displeasure showed on the immortal's flawless face. "I am a creator god. The Thunder Duke and Lightning Goddess only became gods later. How could they be compared to me?"
After hearing this, Su Zheng was utterly confused.
"But I... was praying for the God of Wealth..."
The immortal gave Su Zheng a cold look. "The talisman you burned was one for forging a romantic bond."
"Huh... what?!" Su Zheng was stunned.
So... she'd prayed for a romantic match for herself?!
