As soon as The Grand Pure One Laozi spoke, it was as if a bombshell had been dropped on the peak of Kunlun Mountain.

Tongtian Jiaozhu and Yuanshi Tianzun both snapped their heads up, staring wide-eyed at their eldest brother.

Their expressions were as if they had seen a three-legged golden crow crawling on the ground.

"Big Brother, what did you just say?"

"Let this woman treat Kunlun Mountain as her home?"

"Isn't this inviting a wolf into the house!"

"Big Brother! You've lost your mind!" Tongtian Jiaozhu was so anxious he almost jumped, his divine sense bombarding them frantically.

"This woman is deeply scheming and her methods are brilliant! If you let her stay, will we still have good days ahead? I don't think it'll take three days for the disciple to forget about us!"

"Exactly, exactly!" Yuanshi Tianzun, for once, found himself on the same side as Tongtian.

"This is absolutely not proper! Kunlun Mountain is the sacred dojo of Pangu's True Lineage, how can we allow an outsider to reside here permanently? If word gets out, what dignity will we have left?"

The two were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, wishing they could rush forward and cover their eldest brother's mouth.

However, The Grand Pure One Laozi paid no heed to his two junior brothers' intense reactions.

He simply gazed at Nuwa, his eyes deep and serene, waiting for her reply.

Nuwa was also taken aback by the sudden invitation.

She had expected that after the recent "farce," the Three Pure Ones would consider her the most unwelcome person on Kunlun Mountain.

She never imagined The Grand Pure One Laozi would personally invite her to stay.

And even say this place was her home?

A wave of warmth instantly enveloped Nuwa's heart.

Looking into The Grand Pure One Laozi's eyes, which seemed capable of seeing through everything, she immediately understood his intentions.

This leader of the Three Pure Ones, the senior disciple of Pangu's True Lineage, his cultivation and magnanimity were far deeper than those of his two junior brothers who were still anxiously vying for favor.

The Grand Pure One Laozi understood.

He understood Lin Shen's purest wish, and he understood their shortcomings as great beings in the art of raising children.

He also understood that Nuwa's presence might not be a bad thing for Lin Shen's growth.

Rather than viewing her as an enemy "stealing their disciple," it was better to make her an ally in "raising the child together."

It is better to guide than to block.

This was the true Dao of Non-Action.

"Well said, 'The Grand Pure One of Non-Action'," Nuwa praised silently in her heart.

She glanced at the Three Pure Ones, then lowered her head to look at Lin Shen, who was gazing at her expectantly in her arms.

The little one's small hands were still tightly gripping her sleeve, as if afraid she would run away.

Nuwa's heart completely softened.

Home?

She was born a goddess. Although Wa Huang Palace was filled with Immortal Qi, it was also cold and desolate.

Her elder brother Fuxi was in constant seclusion, deducing heavenly secrets, and spent very little time with her.

When had she ever truly had a "home"?

Now, a little one with a milky voice invited her to share a "home."

A venerable elder with profound cultivation told her that this place was also her home.

This feeling... was very strange, very warm.

Nuwa's eyes became slightly moist.

She took a deep breath and bowed deeply to The Grand Pure One Laozi with utmost sincerity.

"In that case, I shall impose upon the three Daoist Brothers."

She accepted!

She actually accepted!

Tongtian Jiaozhu and Yuanshi Tianzun felt as if the sky was falling.

It's over!

It's completely over!

Inviting a wolf into the house!

Tongtian Jiaozhu could already foresee the tragic future.

Every morning, the disciple's first action upon waking would be to look for "Sister Nuwa."

During meals, the disciple would only eat the "loving meals" made by Nuwa.

When playing, the disciple would only play with the "little animals" Nuwa molded.

When sleeping, the disciples also had to listen to Nuwa tell "bedtime stories."

And their three hardworking masters?

They could only watch from the side with longing, not even having the right to interject.

Thinking of this, Tongtian Jiaozhu was filled with sorrow and almost wailed loudly on the spot again.

Yuanshi Tianzun's expression also became extremely unpleasant.

He glared intently at The Grand Pure One Laozi with a look that said, "Big Brother, you've betrayed us."

But The Grand Pure One Laozi merely returned a profound smile.

He transmitted his thoughts telepathically: "Second Brother, Third Brother, take a longer view."

"It is beneficial for us, and for Lin Shen, to have Daoist Friend Nuwa stay."

"Firstly, she can compensate for our shortcomings in guiding Lin Shen's temperament, making Lin Shen's childhood more complete and his Dao heart more perfect."

"Secondly, Daoist Friend Nuwa presides over the Dao of Creation, which resonates with Lin Shen's Origin Qi. If she stays in Kunlun Mountain and spends time with Lin Shen, they can mutually verify the Great Dao, and both parties will benefit greatly. This is also very beneficial to the destiny of our Kunlun Mountain lineage."

"Thirdly, and most importantly," The Grand Pure One Laozi's voice became meaningful.

"Do you think we lose by letting her stay?"

"You are gravely mistaken!"

"This is precisely our best opportunity to turn defeat into victory!"

"Oh?" Yuanshi and Tongtian both perked up.

"If she, Nuwa, can raise a child, can't we learn?" The Grand Pure One Laozi was full of confidence.

"She lives right under our noses. We can see exactly what she does. What she can do, surely the three of us working together can also achieve?"

"The nearest water source gets the moon first; we have the geographical advantage! As long as we study diligently, imitate, and surpass, I don't believe the three of us combined can't measure up to her alone!"

"This is a war of attrition! It is a war of learning! It is even more a war of honor!"

"For the sake of our disciple, for the dignity of Pangu's True Lineage, we must win this battle!"

The Grand Pure One Laozi's words were impassioned and stirring.

In an instant, he reignited the low morale of Yuanshi and Tongtian.

That's right!

Big Brother is right!

It's just raising a child, isn't it?

Learn!

As dignified Primordial Golden Immortals, could their learning ability be poor?

If Nuwa can knead cats, they can forge dragons!

If Nuwa can tell stories, they can perform shadow puppetry!

If Nuwa can give gentle hugs, they... they can too!

Tongtian Jiaozhu immediately got up from the ground, brushed off the dirt on his body, and his eyes once again blazed with fighting spirit.

He looked into the mirror (Water Mirror Technique) and then used his magic power to shave his messy beard completely clean.

He also used a spell to change into a "more approachable" cyan Daoist robe.

Although he was still as heroic, he was at least much more refreshed.

Yuanshi Tianzun also silently tried his best to lift his eternally unchanging icy face upwards, attempting to force out a... smile.

Even though the smile looked worse than crying.

A more intense and competitive "battle for favor" centered around Lin Shen kicked off the moment Nuwa officially "moved into" Kunlun Mountain.

And our protagonist, Lin Shen, was completely unaware of this.

He only knew that today was truly wonderful!

Not only did he get to hug a beautiful older sister and pet a cute little cat, but the beautiful older sister would also "live" with them from now on!

This meant he could play with the beautiful older sister and the little cat every day!

Lin Shen happily rolled around in Nuwa's arms, letting out cheerful giggles.

"Sister... live... here!" the little fellow said in a milky voice, his chubby little finger pointing in various directions of Kunlun Mountain.

"Masters... also live... here!"

"Play... together! Eat... together! Sleep... together!"

The innocent words spoke of the purest happiness.

Seeing his happy expression, Nuwa's heart also softened.

She decided to build a palace next to the Three Pure Ones' Daoist sanctuary.

She had even thought of a name for the palace.

It shall be called... Wa Huang Palace!

Under Nuwa's power of creation, a magnificent palace, brimming with life and adorned with exotic flowers, rare herbs, and adorable little animals, rose from the peak of Kunlun Mountain.

A large open space was deliberately left in front of the palace gates, specifically for Lin Shen to use as a playground.

This stood in stark contrast to the simple yet grand Daoist palaces of the Three Pure Ones.

It also marked the official beginning of a new era on Kunlun Mountain: "Four Giants and One Child."

Tongtian Jiaozhu looked at the delicate pink palace, filled with girlish charm, and twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Big Brother... I suddenly feel... perhaps our Daoist palaces are a bit too... plain?"

The Grand Pure One Laozi stroked his beard, deep in thought.

"Indeed... Perhaps it's time we kept up with the times."
