What's the difference with a bit of the river's favor?
Liang Qu jumped into the water full of expectation, yet before he could enjoy the benefits, he experienced an uncomfortable throbbing in his chest as soon as he hit the water.
It was like someone was pressing a fine needle against his brow, causing an unusual pricking pain.
What's going on?
Why did the entire Jiang Huai River seem to bear malice against him after he received favor?
Liang Qu stepped back onto the deck of the boat, and only then did the prickling sensation at his brow disappear.
When he entered the water again, the sensation returned.
He was bewildered and turned to the Fat Catfish and Unable to Move among other creatures, asking if they felt the same malice in the water, an uncomfortable sensation.
The creatures looked at each other and all shook their heads.
