Would the Queen Mother of the West reward him?
As long as the Queen Mother of the West did not have him killed, everything would be fine.
As Zhang Chen grumbled inwardly, the Queen Mother of the West on the altar suddenly opened her eyes. Her gaze fell upon Zhang Chen, who was waiting below the altar, and she said, "Come up."
As her words fell, the revolving Innate Grand Formation stopped as well. The entire altar returned to silence. Divine light shrouded the Queen Mother of the West, making her form impossible to discern.
Zhang Chen hurriedly climbed onto the altar, came before the Queen Mother of the West, and bowed. "Greetings, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother of the West was taken aback. She looked Zhang Chen up and down, curiosity appearing in her eyes. "Why did you not perish beneath the heavenly punishment?"
Zhang Chen was speechless. He cursed inwardly, So you would only be satisfied if I died under heavenly punishment? This is simply going too far. Even if you do not care about my life, you cannot just ask that outright, can you?
Though Zhang Chen grumbled inside, he did not dare show it. Instead, he answered the Queen Mother of the West with utmost sincerity and obedience, "This lowly one does not know either. After the heavenly punishment descended, this lowly one somehow emerged completely unharmed. Even this lowly one finds it strange."
The Queen Mother of the West examined Zhang Chen from head to toe. Zhang Chen had assumed that she would inspect the anomaly within him, but lightning suddenly flickered within her sleeve. A terrifying bolt burst from her fingertip and shot toward him.
"Spare me, Queen Mother!" Zhang Chen's heart lurched at the sight of that lightning. It was terrifying beyond measure.
