It's Fine, It's Fine! (Begging for Follows!)
Bai Chen dared to say that Nuwa had this idea long ago, but she hadn't taken action yet, and didn't have a legitimate excuse.
Now, Great God Bai Chen, has only helped Nuwa find an excuse, but Nuwa is still putting on an act for him, forcing him to expose her.
"Little White, you'll play the villain, and I'll play the hero. It's a happy decision."
After some consideration, Nuwa agreed to Bai Chen's suggestion and began to assign tasks.
Chapter 238 It's alright, it's alright! (Please read on!)
"Nuwa, something's not right!"
You should play the villain, I, the great god, should play the good guy!
Bai Chen was very dissatisfied with Nuwa's division of labor, as he, the Great God Bai Chen, was the best cat in the Primordial World.
How does he look like a bad person?
Why would Nuwa allow herself to play the villain?
After Bai Chen and Nuwa had played around for a while, Bai Chen asked Nuwa:
"Nuwa, have you ever considered establishing a religion? You are a saint of the demon race; you could actually educate the demon race and establish a religion!"
Bai Chen felt that Nuwa should establish a religion, since Establish Demon Cult Merit and Fortune fortune, which would benefit Nuwa.
"Have!"
Nuwa nodded and then said:
"I've considered Establish Demon Cult to educate the demon race, but I lack something to suppress their destiny!"
After the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti their religions and became saints, and after the Ancestor Minghe established his religion and gained Merit and Fortune, Nuwa considered Establish Demon Cult.
The problem is that she has already used the only item she possesses that can suppress the sect's destiny—the Twenty-Fourth Grade Cycle Purple Jade Lotus Platform —to suppress Bai Chen's Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult Sect's destiny.
Therefore, Nuwa never established a religion, nor did she mention this matter to the cat.
Seeing that it seemed he had held Nuwa back, Bai Chen said:
"Nuwa, remove the Twenty-Four-Rank Cycle Purple Jade Lotus Platform from my Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult and use it to suppress the demon sect's fortune."
Bai Chen felt that Nuwa should have said so earlier if she had wanted to establish a religion. Putting aside the current Sisterly Bond, he, Great God Bai Chen, was a reasonable cat and would definitely agree.
Moreover, Bai Chen felt that since it had already inadvertently affected the fortunes of the five religions—Human, Chan, Jie, Western, and Asura—it wasn't too concerned about the situation of the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult.
"Little White, what about your Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult?"
Nuwa was a little worried that if she removed the Twenty-Fourth Grade Cycle Purple Jade Lotus Platform, Bai Chen's Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult's fortune would be in serious trouble.
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Bai Chen waved his paw to indicate it was okay, then muttered under his breath:
"Nuwa, anyway, you've already sidelined me as the sect leader, I have no real power. Even without something to suppress my destiny, how much worse can things get?"
According to Bai Chen's knowledge, even though the Jie Interception Sect lacked an object to suppress destiny, the Investiture of the Gods Calamity would at most result in a failure, but no one would dare to defy the Tongtian Sect Master Tongtian.
Now, the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult's leader has been sidelined by Nuwa, the Vice Cult Leader, and has become a mere mascot, arguably even worse off than the Tongtian Sect Master Tongtian the Investiture of the Gods Calamity.
"Little White, what do you mean I'm undermining you?"
"I'm just keeping an eye on you. Who told you to always be thinking about doing bad things!"
Nuwa heard Bai Chen's complaints, and while petting the cat, she sternly questioned him.
Meanwhile, all the high-ranking members of the demon race and the Taiyin Three Sisters arrived outside the Wa Saint Palace. They wanted Bai Chen to come out and talk, but Bai Chen wouldn't give them that face.
Following Bai Chen's instructions, Biyun and Caiyun let them air out for a while before putting them inside.
Just as the high-ranking members of their demon race arrived at Bai Chen's dojo in the front hall, Bai Chen was already waiting for them in the Zu Fei Palace.
"Nephew, today your uncle will introduce you to a negative example."
Seeing that group of damned demons had arrived, Bai Chen pointed at Eastern Emperor Taiyi and said to Kong Xuan:
"This silly bird is called Eastern Emperor Taiyi, nicknamed the number one person below the level of proving the Dao."
In reality, there are many powerful beings whose strength far surpasses his, but they simply disdain to pay him any attention.
"You must never be like that silly bird. It gets arrogant just because it has some strength, thinking itself the number one person below the Dao Proof stage. It's easy to get hurt like that!"
Many people in the Primordial World were given the title of the first to prove the Dao, such as Donghuang Eastern Emperor Taiyi in the Witch-Demon Tribulation and Kong Xuan in the Investiture of the Gods Calamity of the Gods. Later, Duobao and Haotian were also given this title.
In reality, these so-called number one figures below the Dao attainment level are nothing but a joke in front of those veteran Innate Great God and Chaos Demon God who have fallen Half-step Dao Proving.
For example, if you sent Eastern Emperor Taiyi to fight the North Sea Divine Turtle, which possesses earth-shattering power, and those Chaos Demon God who once held the power of laws and Half-step Dao Proving, do you think he could win?
So today, the first lesson that Bai Chen, the uncle, is going to teach his nephew Kong Xuan is to keep a low profile!
"Kong Xuan, I will heed my uncle's instructions!"
Kong Xuan gladly accepted Bai Chen's instruction.
Bai Chen's words were instruction to Kong Xuan, but to Eastern Emperor Taiyi, they were mockery and ridicule.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi was also furious. His nickname, "the one below the Dao Realm," wasn't something he claimed himself; it was given to him by others. How could he be blamed?
Di Jun could see that Eastern Emperor Taiyi was furious, but for the sake of his own marriage, he quickly restrained his younger brother.
After all, he had brought people here to apologize to Bai Chen and ask the cat to persuade Nuwa to rescind the sage's Imperial Decree. If the cat Eastern Emperor Taiyi caused trouble, things would be over.
For the sake of his elder brother's lifelong happiness, he could only wrong his younger brother, Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Eastern Emperor Taiyi: For my brother's sake, I will endure it!
"Bai Chen, this is our fault, but it was all Fuxi's idea. We've come here today to apologize to you!"
Suppressing his hatred for Bai Chen, Di Jun bowed and greeted Bai Chen. Now that he needed the cat's help, he had no choice but to be subservient to the cat!
Bai Chen pulled out the Heaven Measuring Ruler, pointed it at Di Jun, and began to mock him:
"Wow, you guys are pretty amazing! You actually brainwashed Nuwa into pressuring this great Nuwa to marry you!"
"You damned three-legged crow, now that I, the great god, am cooperating with you, why can't you play along?"
These guys stirred up trouble, causing Great God Bai Chen, to be pressured to get married.
Now that Great God Bai Chen has retaliated, he can't take it anymore and can't play anymore, so he's admitting defeat. It's truly shameful.
Bai Ze, fearing that Di Jun would lose his temper, spoke up for him:
"Bai Chen, this is our fault. If you can persuade Empress Nuwa to rescind the Imperial Decree, we are willing to offer gifts as an apology."
Bai Ze knew Bai Chen too well. To this cat, bowing, scraping, and apologizing were all meaningless; only tangible benefits mattered.
"Hehehe!"
Bai Chen sneered and said in a sarcastic tone:
"You overestimate me. I have no power to make Nuwa retract her Imperial Decree."
Does this damned monster know how much damage being pressured to get married has done to the tender heart of the Great God Bai Chen?
If I don't give them a good beating today, I'll be letting down the Great God Bai Chen who's suffered so much.
Moreover, Fuxi, the culprit, showed a very poor attitude in admitting his mistakes, completely unaware of his own errors.
Seeing Bai Chen acting strangely and pushing his luck, Fuxi scolded him:
"Bai Chen, we've already apologized, so don't go too far. Do you really think I can't get my sister to rescind the imperial Imperial Decree?"
Di Jun and the others were begging this Evil Cat Evil Cat to be spoiled, but Fuxi himself was not going to spoil it.
Fuxi's attitude ignited Bai Chen's anger, and Bai Chen shouted angrily:
"Damn you fiend, do you think bowing is enough to apologize?"
"You must go find Nuwa quickly, but you will have to pay a toll of ten billion Merit and Fortune Coin."
"If you dare to be short even a single coin, this great god will ensure you cannot leave the Wa Saint Palace intact!"
The Heaven Measuring Ruler in Bai Chen's hand manifested the Hongmeng Profound Yellow Qi and the Heaven-Opening Merit. If Fuxi dared not pay the toll, the Heaven Measuring Ruler in its hand would immediately strike him.
As for the other party's claim that Nuwa should retract the sage's Imperial Decree, Bai Chen didn't believe that this good-for-nothing had that ability.
When Di Jun saw Fuxi causing trouble again, he cursed the treacherous strategist:
"Fuxi, if you're not absolutely certain, don't start making things worse."
That bastard is utterly useless and only causes trouble. If it weren't for the other party's terrible idea, would I be stuck here putting up with Bai Chen's wrath?
Faced with Di Jun's rebuke, Fuxi wanted to refute, but he had no way to do so.
Although he claimed he had a way to get Nuwa to retract the sage's Imperial Decree, he wasn't entirely confident; he was only about 50% sure.
"Bai Chen, what do you want to do to get Empress Nuwa to rescind the imperial Imperial Decree? Name your conditions, and I will try my best to satisfy them!"
Di Jun knew that this time he would have to bleed a lot and cut his own flesh to get things done, so he was prepared.
At this moment, Bai Chen raised his right hand and held up his little finger. Upon seeing this, Di Jun asked:
"One hundred billion Merit and Fortune Coin?"
Di Jun did not believe that Bai Chen's finger was worth one hundred million Merit and Fortune Coin or one billion Merit and Fortune Coin.
He knew this matter was serious, and ten billion Merit and Fortune Coin wouldn't be enough to sway the cat, so one of the cat's fingers must be worth ten billion Merit and Fortune Coin.
"Okay, we admit it!"
Di Jun felt that although Bai Chen's asking price was a bit steep, it was still within his acceptable range, so he simply agreed.
Bai Chen shook his head at Di Jun's reply, and then said:
"You're half right, you dead three-legged crow!"
"A Innate Spiritual Root, plus 10 billion Merit and Fortune Coin."
"This Innate Spiritual Root can only be the Fusang Innate Spiritual Root Fusang Divine Tree of the Sun Star, or the Undying Moon Laurel of the Moon Star!"
Are you kidding me?
