Faced with Qin Hong, even Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning could not gain the slightest advantage.
He could only be painfully and sorrowfully manipulated by Qin Hong. For countless millennia, Qin Hong was the only one who had ever taken so much advantage of Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning.
Seeing how badly he had angered Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning, Qin Hong secretly felt delighted.
Shifting his attention away from Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning, Qin Hong looked at Heavenly Lord of Morality, who had been quietly watching everything from the side.
An innocent smile spread across his face.
"Eldest Uncle..."
The drawn-out ending made Heavenly Lord of Morality's heart tremble.
Looking down at Qin Hong, who was pretending to be cute, Heavenly Lord of Morality felt a headache coming on.
Though Qin Hong had not said anything, his intentions were already obvious. This troublesome child was about to squeeze benefits out of him!
And he could not give him anything too shabby. Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning's example was right there. If Qin Hong carved "Gifted by Heavenly Lord of Morality" onto it too, then the face of the foremost among the Three Pure Ones would be utterly ruined.
Qin Hong did not know what Heavenly Lord of Morality was thinking, but he could guess some of it.
Even if he was unwilling, what could he do? Circumstances were stronger than men. He was being roasted over the fire now.
He had to give, whether he wanted to or not. There was no third option.
Helplessly, Heavenly Lord of Morality's brows twitched violently a few times. With a wave of the whisk in his hand, three glittering golden pills floated before Qin Hong.
The moment the pills appeared, a rich medicinal fragrance rushed into his nose. Merely smelling it made Qin Hong feel invigorated.
"These are Nine Revolutions Golden Elixirs!"
"Your Eldest Uncle gathered countless heavenly treasures and rare materials, then refined them for forty-nine days before successfully producing them."
"They will greatly benefit your cultivation. Take them!"
The effects of the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir were far from as simple as Heavenly Lord of Morality made them sound.
Saying they greatly benefited cultivation was an understatement. These Nine Revolutions Golden Elixirs could revive the dead and regrow flesh on bones. So long as someone still had one breath left, they could be saved.
Seeing the three Nine Revolutions Golden Elixirs floating in the air, even the two Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, had a burning look flash through their eyes.
After all, the poverty of the West was no secret throughout the Primordial World. It was only natural for the two Saints to covet the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixirs.
Compared with Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning's Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, these Nine Revolutions Golden Elixirs were clearly superior. That was precisely Heavenly Lord of Morality's intention. The misery Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning had suffered at Qin Hong's hands moments ago was still vivid in everyone's minds.
"Nine Revolutions Golden Elixirs?!"
Seeing the three pills, Qin Hong's face filled with surprise, but not joy. With a wave of his little hand, he put them away.
"Eldest Uncle, I'm your most beloved nephew. You can refine these Nine Revolutions Golden Elixirs yourself, so why not give me a few more? It'll save you from having them take up space."
"What do you think?"
After saying that, Qin Hong looked at Heavenly Lord of Morality with his big eyes, wearing an expression that plainly said, You figure it out.
Seeing Qin Hong act so shamelessly, even someone as detached as Heavenly Lord of Morality had veins throbbing on his forehead.
Your most beloved nephew?
When had I ever said you were my most beloved nephew?
What a talent for flattering yourself!
Worried they'll take up space?
Who would ever think they had too many of these things?
At once, Heavenly Lord of Morality gave a dry laugh.
"These golden elixirs are difficult to refine. Hong'er, do not tease your Eldest Uncle."
Seeing Heavenly Lord of Morality yield, Qin Hong did not press him any further.
Just as everyone thought the matter had come to an end, Qin Hong toddled toward the sole graceful figure among the five Saints.
Unlike how he had faced Heavenly Lord of Morality and Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning earlier, Qin Hong now looked every bit like a well-behaved child. Paired with his trademark smile, he was as adorable as could be. It was no exaggeration to say that if Qin Hong were placed in the Primordial World now, he would definitely have countless older-sister fans and mother fans.
Looking at Saint Nuwa before him, dressed in a simple landscape-patterned gown and blessed with peerless beauty, Qin Hong gave a sweet smile.
"Aunt Nuwa, Hong'er greets you." With that, Qin Hong gave the respectful salute of a junior.
Holy shit!
All the Saints collectively froze.
Had this little fellow become addicted to receiving gifts? Was he just going to claim kinship with anyone he saw?
Nuwa only had one relative, her older brother Fuxi. What the hell did she have to do with you?
"Hm? What's wrong with all of you?"
Qin Hong pursed his little lips and rattled off words like beans spilling from a pod.
"Aunt Nuwa is my father's junior sister, so naturally she is my aunt. Are you trying to make us sever our relationship?"
The Saints' faces darkened.
There really was nothing wrong with that. By sentiment and by reason, that was how it should be.
Under such circumstances, Nuwa could only spend some treasure to avert disaster.
Nuwa's beautiful face blossomed into a smile that could intoxicate all living beings. With a beckon of her delicate hand, a lotus-shaped lamp glowing all over appeared in her palm, and she handed it to Qin Hong.
"Hong'er is so adorable. How could Aunt Nuwa deny you?"
"It's just that Aunt Nuwa does not have many treasures and has nothing particularly impressive to offer. This is the Precious Lotus Lamp. I'll give it to Hong'er!"
Qin Hong reached out and accepted the Precious Lotus Lamp. Looking at its familiar form, he could not help but beam with delight.
"Thank you, Aunt Nuwa. Hong'er really likes the Precious Lotus Lamp!"
"Hong'er has decided that from today onward, you're my real aunt! You're pretty and generous too!"
"You treat me much better than Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle."
Heavenly Lord of Morality: ? You ungrateful little brat, give me back my three Nine Revolutions Golden Elixirs!
Heavenly Lord of Original Beginning: You deserve a beating...
No matter how dissatisfied they felt, they could only hold it in.
Nuwa, on the other hand, was all smiles again. Though she had already become a Saint, women loved beauty by nature. With Qin Hong's mouth being so sweet, how could she not be happy?
"Good child!" Nuwa said with a smile, pinching Qin Hong's chubby little cheek.
After putting away the Precious Lotus Lamp, Qin Hong put on his trademark smile once more. Under the horrified gazes of two particular people, he walked straight up to them.
"Uncle Zhunti, Uncle Jieyin..."
Fuck!
That was truly shameless beyond all bounds.
Right now, Zhunti and Jieyin's hearts were filled with stampeding alpacas.
They had seen shameless people before, but never anyone this shameless!
Just now, he had cursed them with every filthy insult he could think of. And now he had the nerve to come ask for greeting gifts?
This was fucking peak hypocrisy!
No, calling him a two-faced bitch would not be an exaggeration either.
Ever since the two of us took form, we had relied on our shamelessness to swindle who knew how many benefits. Yet now, we were being manipulated by someone else!
Zhunti and Jieyin: Extremely displeased!
Though Zhunti and Jieyin were unwilling in every possible way, as Saints, they still cared about their reputation. They could not bring themselves to withhold greeting gifts.
Moreover, the Western Sect was still developing. Reputation was far too important.
Sigh! How stifling!
Even though they were displeased, Zhunti and Jieyin each took out a Bodhi Seed and a Lotus Seed.
Both contained abundant vitality and spiritual soul power, but compared to the greeting gifts given by the other four Saints, the difference was immediately apparent.
Qin Hong reluctantly accepted the two Saints' gifts. Pouting, he muttered,
"You two uncles are way too poor!"
"No wonder your appearances are so shabby. So you have no money to dress yourselves up!"
"If anyone became the descendants of you two uncles in the future, wouldn't they starve to death?"
