Houtu Arrives, A Scramble

Nuwa's words made Liu Feng's heart jolt—why did that line feel so familiar?

But first, he needed to figure out the woman's identity.

"May I ask, immortal, who you are...?"

"I am Nuwa!"

What? Nuwa, the Holy Mother? The real Nuwa?

Liu Feng felt his fortune was truly heaven-defying—this was the start of a meteoric rise!

This was Nuwa, the second Sage beneath Hong Jun, the Holy Mother of Humanity. And since he'd been human in his past life, wasn't this a surefire ticket to greatness?

How could he let such a thick thigh slip away? Take her as master—he had to do it right now. No one could stop him, not even the Heavenly Dao.

The group members were equally stunned. Could this breathtakingly beautiful woman really be the future Holy Mother of Humanity, Nuwa?

After all, everyone in the chat group had some connection to Nuwa.

Even Tu Shan Ya Ya, a fox demon, was no exception.

They were utterly floored—this was Nuwa!

Who would've thought the Big Shot's luck was this absurd? He'd just undergone his Transformation, and already Nuwa herself had come to take him as a disciple. Such an honor made them burn with envy and spite.

Yun Miao: "Ahhh, I'm so jealous! This is Nuwa, the Holy Mother of Humanity, a future Sage—a solid thick thigh! Brother Liu's luck is truly enviable!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya: "Nuwa... the Big Shot's fortune is... wait, Miao Miao, what did you just call him?"

Yun Miao: "Brother. What's wrong? Look how young Brother Liu is, so peerlessly elegant—what's wrong with calling him brother?"

Group Members: "..."

Fine, you sure know how to suck up. We admit defeat. No wonder you're the Admin.

But still, we're so jealous—he actually gets to become Nuwa's disciple.

Liu Feng didn't notice the group's envy. He had already begun to bow.

"Your disciple, Liu..."

But before he could finish, he was interrupted.

"Wait!"

Another noble woman's voice rang out.

"Who's this now? Interrupting my good fortune—this is too much!" Liu Feng grumbled inwardly, turning to look at the source.

He froze on the spot.

The woman who had interrupted him was stunningly beautiful, no less than Nuwa beside her.

Her delicate face seemed carved with precision, every line perfectly conveying nobility and grace.

Yet within that nobility, there was a hint of warmth, like a spring breeze.

She wore a flowing bright-yellow gown, its hem drifting like clouds, shimmering faintly and drawing all eyes.

Her face was exquisite—brows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn waters, a straight nose, lips naturally red without rouge, skin pale as snow, smooth and warm like fine jade.

Every line perfectly outlined her peerless beauty, making one want to gaze longer.

Compared to Nuwa, she was taller and more slender, with a waist so narrow it seemed graspable, long legs straight and well-proportioned. Her perfect figure made her seem like a celestial maiden descended to earth—ethereal, transcendent, and breathtaking.

Who was this?

Another great deity?

The group members guessed, and Liu Feng wondered the same.

Just then, Nuwa's voice gave them the answer.

"Houtu, it's you!" Nuwa said coldly.

"That's right, it is I," Houtu replied calmly, her voice soft, her gaze fixed on Liu Feng.

Liu Feng and the group were stunned again.

Goddess Houtu—another great deity, indeed!

What was going on?

He had only just undergone his Transformation, and yet he had drawn the attention of the two most powerful goddesses in the Primordial World.

Had something changed after his transmigration that he hadn't noticed, but they had?

Or was his charm just that strong, attracting both goddesses?

Cough, just kidding. As a Transmigrator, a little daydreaming was only fair, right?

"You came for him too?"

Liu Feng's daydreaming was lost on the two great deities. Nuwa, seeing Houtu's gaze fixed on Liu Feng, grew colder.

"That's right."

Houtu didn't care about Nuwa's mood. She kept her eyes on Liu Feng.

"Little fellow, you and I are fated. Would you be willing to take me as your master?" Houtu asked in a gentle tone.

Hearing this, Liu Feng's mind went blank. He was truly both delighted and anxious. He hadn't expected that right after his Transformation, two future Sages would be vying to take him as a disciple.

Looks like my identity as a Transmigrator has some use after all, huh?

Though he was overjoyed inside, this wasn't the time to celebrate. Couldn't he see that after Goddess Houtu spoke, Goddess Nuwa's expression turned even darker, and her gaze toward him grew colder?

Liu Feng seriously doubted that if he answered poorly today, he might end up dead right here!

But before Liu Feng could speak, Nuwa cut in first. Her voice was cold enough to freeze someone.

"Houtu, he was about to take me as his master. What do you mean by this? Trying to snatch him from me? Then let's see if you have the skill for it."

As she spoke, Nuwa's aura erupted. The sky, which had just cleared, once again shifted with wind and clouds.

Faced with Nuwa's aggression, Houtu remained unfazed, speaking calmly: "No need for that. The little fellow hasn't taken a master yet, has he? How do you know he won't choose me?"

"You..." Nuwa glared at Houtu. "If you hadn't interrupted, he would have already taken me as his master."

If you like this book, to avoid losing it next time, remember to add it to your bookshelf.

"Is that so? It didn't succeed, did it?" Houtu's tone was still gentle, but it somehow seemed infuriatingly smug.

"Damn you, Houtu, are you deliberately trying to compete with me?" Nuwa couldn't stand Houtu's attitude and shouted again.

"Isn't it obvious?"

The quarrel between the two great goddesses of the Primordial World left Liu Feng dumbfounded.

He had never seen such a scene. Two future Sages were now arguing over taking him as a disciple, and they even looked ready to throw down.

Was this his treatment? Could he really be the protagonist?

As a shut-in who had read countless cultivation novels, Liu Feng was now fantasizing about whether he was the main character.

Or was it because of Fortune, or perhaps the Card Draw Group?

Thinking of the Card Draw Group, Liu Feng took a moment to glance at the Live Stream Room.

The Group Members in the Live Stream Room were also stunned, discussing why the two great goddesses were fighting over taking a disciple.

He had to admit, this felt really good. Getting the attention of two great goddesses was unexpectedly satisfying.

But Liu Feng also had to think: what exactly did he have that could provoke such a struggle between two great goddesses?

Could it be that he was just too handsome?

Liu Feng couldn't help slipping into a daydream.

Still, he was feeling a bit full of himself right now. It was worth it—this transmigration was truly worth it.

To have two Primordial Gods, future Sages, fighting to take him as a disciple.

Didn't that say enough?

Besides, Liu Feng wasn't too worried now. Before, his talent might have been lacking, but not anymore. With the Heaven-Defying Comprehension Buff added, his talent was definitely top-notch.

So whether he chose to become Goddess Nuwa's disciple or Goddess Houtu's, he didn't have to worry about being expelled. Plus, he'd gain the protection of a future great god, letting him safely coast through life. In this danger-filled Primordial World, that was a rare blessing.

And once his master attained Sagehood, wouldn't he be able to strut around the Primordial World without fear?

Of course, that was only if he didn't actively provoke other Sages. Only then would the Primordial World hold no major threats.

But before that, while Goddess Houtu could also become a Sage, her ascension would come halfway through the Witch-Demon Calamity.

By then, the Witch and Demon clans would have already endured countless brutal battles.

If he really took Houtu as his master, could he survive that long war?

If he wasn't careful, he might end up dead, body and soul destroyed.

Hmm...

To ensure future safety, it was best to take the earliest Sage, Goddess Nuwa, as his master.

Of course, Liu Feng also worried: would this choice anger Goddess Houtu?

If he really pissed her off, what if she held a grudge?

What if she secretly tripped him up or gave him trouble behind the scenes?

Worst of all, for a long time to come, the Witch Clan would rule the Primordial World. Just thinking about Houtu's brothers gave Liu Feng a headache.

Every Ancestral Witch had a fiery temper. One wrong move could trigger their thunderous rage.

And most crucially, the Ancestral Witches' cultivation was unfathomably deep, their strength terrifying to imagine.

Just picturing the consequences of clashing with them sent chills down Liu Feng's spine.

Damn, this really was a tough choice!

Sigh, sometimes having too much talent wasn't a good thing either!

He was actually getting philosophical. You had to admit, shamelessness conquered all. Lost in his fantasies, a lecherous grin spread across his face.

Nuwa and Houtu suddenly stopped their verbal sparring. They keenly sensed Liu Feng's thoughts.

Seeing the strange expression on his face.

Both of their faces immediately turned sour.

"What's wrong with him? That smile is so lecherous."

Nuwa didn't even know where she'd come up with that word; it just slipped out.

Maybe she should just let Houtu have this disciple!

Houtu was having the same thought.

For a moment, their views actually aligned.

They exchanged a glance. Nuwa gave a cold snort and looked away from Houtu.

Giving up on taking a disciple—that was just a fleeting thought. Giving up was impossible. This was tied to her own Dao heart and a great future opportunity. How could she miss it?

Liu Feng, lost in his daydream, suddenly felt two hostile gazes. He shivered, snapped back to focus, and looked at Nuwa and Houtu.

He saw the two women frowning at him, their eyes full of contempt.

Ha!

Not good. His daydreaming had been too obvious, and the two goddesses had noticed. No, he couldn't let his image be ruined.

"Ahem, um, why are you two fairies looking at me like that?" Liu Feng asked cautiously.

"Heh!"

"Guess!"

Seeing Liu Feng suddenly turn timid and careful, the two women couldn't help but laugh.

Nuwa even playfully said, "Guess."

It showed how interested they were in Liu Feng.

Maybe in all their years of cultivation, they had never met someone like Liu Feng. Finally, someone fun to play with?

At this moment, Nuwa and Houtu's eyes gleamed with a determination to have Liu Feng at all costs.
