Haotian: Damn It, I Can't Be the Heavenly Emperor Anymore

Haotian coughed upon hearing this and said, "Ahem, who knows? Logically speaking, probably not. After all, I'm the old master's Dao attendant. They wouldn't dare cause trouble openly. My position as the Jade Emperor should be secure."

Yaochi nodded and said, "With the old master here, Senior Brother, your exalted position as the Jade Emperor should be secure... But why do I still feel so panicked...?"

Haotian coughed and said, "Ahem, Junior Sister, don't panic. It's fine, it's fine..."

Before he could say anything more, news arrived that something had happened in the Western Region. Randeng had taken Guanyin, Manjushri, Puxian, Juliusun, and the others to
