Di Jun's Dissatisfaction with Nuwa! (cont.)

"Houtu, Xuanming, since you are not here to listen to my sermon, you may leave."

Nuwa is now settling scores with a certain Bad Cat, so she's decided to drop the pretense and directly issue an order to leave.

"Little White, this is the essence blood of Brother Dijiang and Brother Gou Mang. Please tell us how to strengthen the power of the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil-Slaying Formation."

Houtu did not leave immediately, but instead took out two bottles of essence blood containing the power of laws.

Bai Chen initially proposed to the Twelve Ancestor Witches a method to strengthen the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil-Slaying Formation by exchanging his essence and blood.

However, the Ancestral Witch did not agree immediately. It was only after Nuwa attained sainthood that the Twelve Ancestor Witches felt the pressure and finally agreed.

That's why Houtu and Xuanming came to Wa Saint Heaven to find Bai Chen today, just to obtain the method to strengthen the Twelve Capital Celestial Evil-Slaying Formation, so as to counter Nuwa.

Seeing that it was what he wanted, Bai Chen immediately broke free from Nuwa's restraints and used his little claws to grab the two bottles of essence blood containing the power of laws.

Nuwa did not intervene this time, because the proud Nuwa did not take Pangu True Body seriously.

No matter how powerful Pangu True Body was, it was still an illusion; how powerful could it possibly be?

"Houtu, you Twelve Ancestor Witches can use your life essence and blood combined with the power of the laws to refine your life-bound Witchcraft Artifact —the twelve Dutian Divine Fiend Banner."

"Let the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Fiends Banner help strengthen your great formation and alleviate the burden it places on you."

Bai Chen told Houtu and Xuanming about the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Fiends Banner and their crafting methods, then added:

"If you wish to further enhance the power of Pangu True Body, then seek out the Three Pure Ones to borrow the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, and the Four Swords of Zhu Xian."

"After all, the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner were formed from the fragments of the Sky-Opening Axe, while the Four Swords of Zhu Xian were forged from four pieces of divine iron shattered by the Earth-Splitting Chisel Devil Ancestor Luo Hou."

"Hahaha!"

As soon as Bai Chen finished speaking, Nuwa couldn't help but laugh.

"Bad Cat, I don't want to laugh either, but your joke is just too funny!"

Nuwa felt it was highly unlikely that the Twelve Ancestor Witches would ask the Three Pure Ones to lend their treasures to the Witch Clan.

Although the Three Pure Ones and the Twelve Ancestor Witches are Pangu Descendant, they fought fiercely over the title of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, causing their relationship to become very strained.

Nuwa believed that if the Three Pure Ones wanted to lend their treasures to the Twelve Ancestor Witches, the Twelve Ancestor Witches would have to submit to the Three Pure Ones.

The Twelve Ancestor Witches relinquished their status as the Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, becoming Pangu relatives, and acknowledged the Three Pure Ones as the Pangu's Orthodox Lineage.

At that time, the Three Pure Ones will also remember their shared lineage as Pangu Descendant and help the Witch Clan fight against the demon tribe.

Thus, the Three Pure Ones also stood up for the Witch Clan, a collateral branch of Pangu, to prove that they were the direct descendants of Pangu.

However, Nuwa thought it was impossible.

Given the nature of the Twelve Ancestor Witches, they valued the title of the Pangu's Orthodox Lineage more than their own lives. Even if their heads were cut off, they would not give up the title of the Pangu's Orthodox Lineage.

"Houtu, Xuanming, Little White and I still have things to say, so we won't keep you any longer."

As soon as Nuwa finished speaking, she flicked her sleeve and threw Houtu and Xuanming out of Wa Saint Heaven.

After the outsiders left, Nuwa secretly transmitted her voice to Jin Ning:

"Jin Ning, when I question this Bad Cat later, keep an eye out for any unusual expressions on his Bad Cat."

Nuwa felt that Jin Ning had known Bai Chen for quite some time, even longer than she had, so she wanted him to be her chief of staff.

"Bad Cat, Master Hongjun once said that Witch Clan would surely attain enlightenment in the future. Who do you think it will be?"

Nuwa had been pondering this question for a long time, and today she was going to test this Bad Cat.

How would I, this great master, know?

When Bai Chen saw Nuwa ask this question, although it knew the answer, it pretended not to.

After all, Houtu and Nuwa are already at odds like this. If Nuwa knew that Houtu was the future Earthly Dao Saint and the Earthly Dao Spokesperson, who knows if Nuwa would secretly do something malicious.

"I think it's Houtu, or perhaps Xuanming!"

Seeing that Bai Chen was not cooperating, Nuwa revealed her own guess.

Since she dared to ask Bai Chen, she must have a general idea in mind. Now she just needs to verify her guess through Bai Chen.

!!!

Bai Chen was suddenly startled. Wa had only recently attained sainthood?

Nuwa shouldn't have been able to comprehend these things, right?

Could it be because I lent them Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation, allowing them to comprehend some of the Great Dao's Destiny?

No, this Nuwa is bluffing against the Great God Bai Chen!

"Maybe!"

After realizing what was happening, Bai Chen replied.

Bai Chen knew that if he denied Nuwa's words, Nuwa would definitely not believe him.

If he were to admit it, he would be going along with Nuwa's conjecture.

The only answer I can give now is, "maybe," to increase the level of confusion.

The answer "maybe" was not what Nuwa wanted. She grabbed Bai Chen's tail and continued to question him:

"Bad Cat, still pretending with me."

You knew all along that Xuanming and Houtu would attain enlightenment, which is why you were close to them and favored them!

Although Bai Chen's unusual behavior only lasted for a moment, Nuwa still noticed it.

Bai Chen was the one in the Primordial World who knew Nuwa best, and conversely, Nuwa also knew quite a bit about Bai Chen.

Today she must uncover the cat's secret and make it confess.

"Nuwa, you're spreading rumors, you're talking nonsense, you're slandering me!"

Bai Chen sternly rebuked Nuwa, now certain that Nuwa was deceiving him, so he absolutely could not admit it.

"Bad Cat, you have the Time Laws, and you also have Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation. Who knows what you can deduce!"

Nuwa had used fragments of Bai Chen's Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation and knew that this treasure was incredibly mysterious.

Bai Chen's Time Laws were already capable of predicting the past and future; with this Bad Cat further enhanced by the Fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation, Nuwa dared not imagine such possibilities.

Nuwa even suspected that when she was attaining enlightenment by the Yellow River Basin, the cat playing in the mud might have been a Bad Cat that had deduced that she was creating humans from clay to attain sainthood, thus giving her a hint.

Bai Chen: Oh no, Nuwa is about to develop a brain!

"Nuwa, you think too highly of this great goddess!"

Bai Chen simply wouldn't admit it; what are you going to do with this great god if I'm just focusing on Nuwa?

Nuwa was furious. Faced with her questioning, couldn't this Bad Cat just behave? Wouldn't it cooperate obediently?

"Little White, since you won't admit it, I'll go kill Houtu and Xuanming right now and see if their Witch Clan can still produce any powerful beings who have attained the Dao!"

Seeing that Bai Chen was not cooperating, Nuwa directly threatened to kill Houtu and Xuanming, intending to force Bai Chen to confess.

"Nuwa, go!"

"Nuwa, this great goddess tells you that Houtu and Xuanming are Pangu Descendant, and they inherited part of the Heaven-Opening Merit of the great god Pangu."

If you kill Houtu Xuanming, let's see if your merit in creating humans is enough to atone for it."

Bai Chen didn't believe Nuwa could kill Houtu at all, not to mention the merits Houtu inherited from the Heaven-Opening Merit.

It is said that once Houtu dies, the Primordial World will never be intact and will only decline.

Moreover, the Witch-Demon Tribulation didn't even need to be fought; the Witch Clan was defeated directly, and the Demon Clan became the victor.

Therefore, neither the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Heavenly Dao, nor the Great Dao would agree to Nuwa killing Houtu. At most, they would agree to Nuwa doing something bad to Houtu and sharing some of Houtu's Merit and Fortune.

"Nuwa, instead of wasting your time thinking nonsense here, you should hurry up and prepare for your sermon."

"It doesn't matter if the content of your sermons is inferior to that of the Dao Ancestor."

But then I'm afraid that people will Jieyin you to the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, and that your preaching won't be as good as theirs, which would be truly shameful."

"When you embarrass yourself, don't mention knowing me, I can't afford to lose face like that!"

Bai Chen knew that Nuwa had begun to have doubts, so he directly changed the subject.

"You Bad Cat, go play somewhere else!"

Nuwa was so angry with Bai Chen that her face turned ugly, and she threw Bai Chen aside.

Nuwa was very angry. First, Bai Chen was not cooperating, and second, this cat actually scared her in order to protect Houtu and Xuanming.

This cat is not only disloyal, but it's also completely ungrateful. What a heartless and Bad Cat!

"Snort!"

Bai Chen snorted coldly and swaggered away from the main hall.

"Call!"

After leaving the house, Bai Chen breathed a sigh of relief. What a close call! He almost got caught by Nuwa's probing.

Although Nuwa has begun to have doubts, fortunately, she currently has no evidence.

After Bai Chen left, Nuwa turned her gaze to her chief of staff Jin Ning, and asked:

"Jin Ning, what do you think?"

Although Bai Chen didn't admit it, Nuwa was already about 80% certain of it.

She wanted to confirm the remaining 20% certainty with Jin Ning.

"I'm afraid it really is as Your Majesty thinks!"

Jin Ning, who had been listening in the background, also had her own guesses, just like Nuwa's.

At this moment, Jin Ning had to admire Bai Chen's formidable methods. Apart from Yuanfeng, two of Bai Chen's three current friends were Saints.

But these two sages are adversaries. Isn't this cat, trying to have its cake and eat it too, afraid of capsizing?

Bai Chen: Jin Ning, don't you have any manners? Is this what you call having your cake and eat it too? This is clearly a two-way investment.
