As the red-robed male Grand Unity Golden Immortal gave chase, he called out, "Yaochi, wait for me."
Yaochi was Queen Mother of the West's true name.
Queen Mother of the West turned back to look at the red-robed Grand Unity Golden Immortal and said, "Donghua, why should I wait for you?"
Eastern Prince Gong—the red-robed Grand Unity Golden Immortal—said, "My true form is the supreme yang qi of heaven and earth, while yours is the supreme yin qi of heaven and earth. Our origins are similar, so we should naturally be close."
Queen Mother of the West retorted, "You are supreme yang qi, and I am supreme yin qi. We stand opposed to each other. What reason is there for us to be close?"
Queen Mother of the West looked at Eastern Prince Gong with some irritation. She clearly had no interest in him whatsoever, yet he kept pestering her. It was truly infuriating.
However, Queen Mother of the West's cultivation was close to Eastern Prince Gong's. Both were at the late Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, so it was somewhat difficult for her to shake him off. She was deeply vexed.
Eastern Prince Gong shook his head and said, "Yin and yang may seem like two extremes, but when yin and yang unite, they possess boundless might. It is heaven and earth's will that we should be close."
"What nonsense!"
Queen Mother of the West suddenly accelerated and shot beyond the Ninth Heavens.
But Eastern Prince Gong shamelessly chased after Queen Mother of the West.
In truth, his cultivation was slightly stronger than hers, so he could easily catch up to her.
Seeing Eastern Prince Gong catching up from behind again, Queen Mother of the West was naturally in a terrible mood.
At that moment, she spotted two familiar figures several thousand miles away, unhurriedly making their way toward Zixiao Palace.
Those two figures were Nuwa and Fuxi.
After hesitating for a moment, Queen Mother of the West flew toward Fuxi.
Naturally, Fuxi and Nuwa also noticed Queen Mother of the West approaching.
The two found it somewhat unexpected, as they had never spoken or chatted with Queen Mother of the West before.
Fuxi looked at Nuwa, his eyes seeming to ask: Is Queen Mother of the West your friend?
Nuwa also furrowed her brows, her eyes seeming to say: I thought she was your friend.
Both Fuxi and Nuwa were full of confusion, but Queen Mother of the West brazenly came before them.
"Fellow Daoists, could you take me with you to Zixiao Palace?"
Queen Mother of the West asked softly, a faint trace of pleading in her eyes.
Fuxi had been somewhat puzzled by Queen Mother of the West's words, but shortly afterward, Eastern Prince Gong's voice came from nearby.
"Yaochi, wait for me!"
Eastern Prince Gong relentlessly pursued Queen Mother of the West. Though he had no relationship with Fuxi and Nuwa either, his skin was far thicker than Queen Mother of the West's.
When Eastern Prince Gong saw Queen Mother of the West join Fuxi and Nuwa's group, he wanted to shamelessly squeeze in as well.
Eastern Prince Gong came before them and greeted Fuxi and Nuwa. "Fellow Daoists, could you bring Yaochi and me along to Zixiao Palace?"
Hearing this, Queen Mother of the West grew anxious. With anger in her voice, she said, "Donghua, stop pestering me!"
Upon hearing that, Fuxi finally understood.
A man pursuing a woman was like crossing a mountain.
Eastern Prince Gong was trying to move mountains and cross ridges.
However, Fuxi did not let the two continue. Instead, he said, "The man can't come. The woman can."
Fuxi pointed at Eastern Prince Gong. "You, get lost."
"Hm?"
The smile on Eastern Prince Gong's face froze. He had not expected Fuxi to be so heartless, actually driving him away. Wasn't this stopping him from getting close to Queen Mother of the West?
Eastern Prince Gong said, "Why are you driving me away, Fellow Daoist? I merely wish to make friends with the two of you and travel together."
Fuxi sneered.
How could he not understand Eastern Prince Gong's intentions? What making friends? He was just lusting after Queen Mother of the West and insisting on using such shameless, clingy tactics. What Fuxi despised most were people with no ability who still tried to shamelessly suck up to others.
Moreover, even an idiot could see that Eastern Prince Gong had no intention of becoming friends with the siblings. Yet he still insisted on treating them like idiots.
Naturally, Fuxi would not show someone like that a pleasant face.
"You want to be friends, so I have to be friends with you?"
"You want to travel together, so I have to let you travel with us?"
"Am I your damn father or your mother? Do I have to satisfy whatever you want?"
Fuxi's words echoed through the clouds, instantly freezing the atmosphere.
After saying that, Fuxi flicked his sleeve, raising a gentle breeze that carried Nuwa and Queen Mother of the West rapidly toward Zixiao Palace.
It was called a gentle breeze, but the three of them surged forward at an astonishing speed, becoming an aurora too swift to see clearly.
Eastern Prince Gong, who had just been cursed out by Fuxi, stood there in a daze.
"What is going on? I was so polite, so why did Fuxi suddenly blow up? How exactly did I offend Fuxi?"
Eastern Prince Gong's face was filled with question marks. No matter how hard he racked his brain, he could not understand why Fuxi treated him with such contempt and coldness, even insulting him outright. It was truly excessive.
Eastern Prince Gong's face suddenly darkened as he cried out, "Oh no! Could it be that Fuxi covets Yaochi's beauty and wants to compete with me for Yaochi?!"
The moment Eastern Prince Gong thought of this, everything suddenly became clear.
Under that assumption, Fuxi's actions and attitude were easy to explain.
Eastern Prince Gong said hatefully, "Fuxi, I treated you as a friend, yet you want to steal my Yaochi. You deserve to die!"
"No! I have to catch up to them and take Yaochi back!"
Eastern Prince Gong's expression turned grave. He hurriedly activated his magic power and used a secret art of extreme speed to chase after the aurora carrying Fuxi and the other two.
However, Eastern Prince Gong was only at the late Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage, and he was not from a race skilled in speed. How could he possibly catch Fuxi, who was at the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm?
Eastern Prince Gong watched Fuxi grow farther and farther away, utterly beyond his reach, his face wrinkling like a bitter melon.
In fact, even Kunpeng and Eastern Emperor Taiyi, who were traveling in their true forms and excelled in extreme speed, were astonished when they saw the rapidly flying aurora created by Fuxi.
Even they could not attain such speed.
When Eastern Emperor Taiyi saw the familiar figure within the aurora, his face instantly turned the color of pig liver.
"Fuxi? How could it be you!"
The last time Eastern Emperor Taiyi had been beaten by Fuxi until he fled in a sorry state. How could he not bear a grudge against Fuxi?
Of course, he did bear a grudge, but for the time being, he did not dare provoke Fuxi, because he still could not defeat him.
Grand Immortals Make Way, Yuanshi Keeps a Low Profile
High in the sky on the way to Zixiao Palace, many Grand Unity Golden Immortals personally witnessed Fuxi's aurora speeding through the heavens.
When Fuxi passed by them, they deliberately moved away to either side, afraid of delaying his journey and offending him.
Fuxi's prestige had already spread far and wide among the Grand Unity Golden Immortals. If even the Three Pure Ones were no match for Fuxi, then everyone else was nothing more than a piece of cake before him.
Thus, Fuxi's journey was exceptionally smooth, giving him the satisfaction of driving down a road while every other vehicle voluntarily gave way.
Standing beside Nuwa, Queen Mother of the West found Fuxi's extreme speed astonishing. She had not expected Fuxi's speed technique to be so swift.
In truth, Fuxi had not deliberately studied the Great Dao related to speed. However, his cultivation realm was far ahead of the other Grand Unity Golden Immortals, and when Hongjun had expounded the Dao of Grand Unity, he had also heard Fuxi's exposition on the Dao laws of speed.
Therefore, though Fuxi's speed was outrageous, Fuxi himself considered it perfectly normal.
When Queen Mother of the West saw the other Grand Unity Golden Immortals all giving way to Fuxi, a strange light bloomed in her beautiful eyes.
She had heard of Fuxi's deeds before, but she had never truly understood just how powerful he was.
But Fuxi's extreme speed and the reactions of the other Grand Unity Golden Immortals now made her realize Fuxi's strength.
This sort of man, who dares to contend with other Grand Unity Golden Immortals for Opportunity and fight for supremacy, is far superior to Eastern Prince Gong.
Queen Mother of the West silently thought to herself.
Nuwa noticed the unusual way Queen Mother of the West looked at Fuxi and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Then, amid cries of astonishment from the Grand Unity Golden Immortals traveling along the way, Fuxi brought Nuwa and Queen Mother of the West to Zixiao Palace's Daoist Sanctuary.
Some Grand Unity Golden Immortals had already arrived and were waiting there.
When they saw Fuxi, they voluntarily made a path for him, allowing him to walk all the way to the front of the Daoist Sanctuary and arrive before Zixiao Palace's gates.
Fuxi rubbed his nose and looked at Nuwa. "Am I really that scary?"
Nuwa smiled without saying anything.
Queen Mother of the West said, "Rather than fear, it would be more accurate to say they hold you in awe, Daoist Brother."
Fuxi scratched his head, not expecting Queen Mother of the West to be quite good with words.
Not far away, several Grand Unity Golden Immortals saw Queen Mother of the West beside Fuxi and felt somewhat confused.
Queen Mother of the West was neither related to Fuxi nor Nuwa, so why had she come with them?
Although these Grand Unity Golden Immortals usually appeared serious and imposing, whenever they encountered something interesting, they still discussed it among themselves and gossiped with one another.
However, no one discussed the matter for long, because powerful experts of the Honghuang soon began arriving at Zixiao Palace one after another.
Two incomparably dazzling fireballs flew toward Zixiao Palace, drawing cries of amazement from the crowd.
When those two fireballs dispersed their light and heat, four figures appeared.
Fuxi was very familiar with the first two figures. They were Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Di Jun. The latter two, however, were two elegantly dressed and graceful beautiful women: Xihe and Changxi.
Naturally, Fuxi had never met Xihe and Changxi, but Queen Mother of the West knew the two women well, so she quietly introduced them to him.
Looking at the two lovely women, Fuxi sighed inwardly with some regret: They're quite beautiful. What a pity their lives are short.
After Eastern Emperor Taiyi's group of four, a group of demon Grand Unity Golden Immortals also appeared one after another, including Kunpeng, Bai Ze, and others.
Fuxi and Nuwa could technically be considered demons as well, but they had no connection with the demon race and ordinarily did not regard themselves as demons.
Not long after the demon Grand Unity Golden Immortals arrived, the Three Pure Ones also came to Zixiao Palace atop an azure cloud.
However, the Three Pure Ones' behavior was somewhat unusual today. They stood at the back of the group with their eyes closed in concentration, saying nothing, keeping an extremely low profile.
If only Laozi had behaved this way, it could have been called normal, since Laozi's temperament was inherently tranquil and detached.
