Cat Loans-Interested? (Continued)
Protruding!
When Houtu presented her conditions, Jieyin and Zhunti looked extremely embarrassed.
The two brothers, who were fellow disciples, simply wanted to send someone to the underworld to earn some Merit and Fortune.
And what about Houtu Tu?
Houtu's condition clearly indicates her intention to completely exploit and devour the Western Teachings.
You should know that it's always been these two fellow disciples who poach other people's employees, and they always do it behind everyone's backs.
But Houtu actually poached someone from her own fellow disciples! How despicable!
Given Houtu's conditions, Jieyin and Zhunti certainly couldn't accept them, so the negotiations undoubtedly broke down, and the two sides parted on bad terms.
After Jieyin and Zhunti led their people away from the Underworld, Houtu stared at Bai Chen and asked:
"Little White, how many Merit and Fortune Coin did you earn this time?"
Houtu felt that this time, the cat had earned far more from her sermon than when Nuwa preached last time—at least ten times more.
"This great master only made a tiny bit of money!"
Bai Chen mistakenly thought that Houtu was coming to claim her share of the money, so he quickly pretended to be poor.
"In my opinion, it's not just a little bit, it's a hundred million bits!"
According to Houtu, during this sermon, the demon race alone offered Bai Chen over 3 billion Merit and Fortune Coin, not to mention the three thousand Innate Great God.
"Houtu, Nuwa is calling this great goddess home for dinner!"
Bai Chen strongly suspected that Houtu just wanted a share of the money, and after saying that, he took off running.
Do I need that little bit from you?
Houtu, seeing that Bai Chen had disappeared from sight after his run, muttered a sarcastic remark.
Houtu is the ruler of the underworld. Even if she does nothing all day, she still Merit and Fortune. She doesn't need this cat's little bit of merit at all, okay?
As expected, Bai Chen was stopped on his way back to Wa Saint Heaven after leaving the Underworld.
You should know that in the Primordial World, it's usually Bai Chen who blocks other people's path; there aren't many people who dare to block his path!
Those who blocked Bai Chen's path this time were naturally the sage Zhunti, who was forcibly taken from him, Zhunti the sage Jieyin, who was swindled and Jieyin.
"Bai Chen greets the two sages."
Bai Chen felt unlucky upon seeing Jieyin and Zhunti, but still bowed respectfully.
"I wonder what business the two sages have with me? If there's nothing else, I must return to the Wa Saint Palace for dinner!"
Bai Chen made a casual, polite remark, but what it really meant was that it hoped Jieyin and Zhunti would get lost, since a good dog shouldn't block the way.
If these two are here to rob us, then I Great God Bai Chen!
Zhunti Bai Chen's words, Zhunti spoke up:
"Third brother, the reason your elder brother and I came to find you is because we need your help."
Nonsense, if Jieyin and Zhunti alright, why would they be blocking Bai Chen here?
!!!
Bai Chen's expression changed upon hearing this. His previous words were merely polite; how dare these two speak up?
These two are saints who have cultivated for countless eons; surely they understand this basic human decency?
"Two sages, my cultivation level is of no help to you. You should go find someone else!"
Bai Chen knew that Zhunti's address of "Third Brother" was definitely not a good thing, so he quickly distanced himself from the situation.
I rejected the other party before they even explained what they wanted to say.
After all, for a sage Zhunti to seek a connection with someone like that, it's clear that this matter is definitely not insignificant.
Bai Chen's preemptive refusal greatly displeased Zhunti.
Even he, a saint, had voluntarily set aside his status and become sworn brothers with Bai Chen.
But this cat showed no respect whatsoever, disregarding the sworn brotherhood of yesteryear; it was truly outrageous to bully the saint!
Is this cat trying to test its Blessing Divine Pestle Saint Zhunti Cundi?
Bai Chen: Zhunti, you dare to hit this great god without reason? This great god also has powerful backers.
"Third brother, I remember you were appointed by Houtu Daoist Houtu Lord of the Beast Path, in charge of the Beast Path."
"My senior brother and I know that you are known Primordial World for your willingness to help others, so we urge you to consider our sworn brotherhood and help the Western Primordial Era."
Zhunti to moral blackmail, trying to get Bai Chen's help.
Although their request was rejected by Houtu, they did not give up. Instead, they set their sights on Bai Chen Bai Chen, the Lord of the Beast Path, which is why they are blocking him here.
They knew that although Bai Chen, the Lord of the Beast Path, did not have as much power as Houtu Earthly Dao Saint.
But this cat definitely has the ability to give the Western Primordial Era a little leeway.
Bai Chen now understood the intentions of these two shameless saints, but before asking the cat for a favor, they didn't even offer anything; they really had no sincerity whatsoever.
"Saint Zhunti, although it is true that I am the Lord of the Beast Path, I am powerless even if I have the will!"
Bai Chen directly declined Zhunti's request, and then explained:
"I'm just someone who receives Merit and Fortune; I don't care about anything else. Houtu manages all of that. Houtu hasn't delegated any authority to me!"
Bai Chen's situation is indeed like this; he's basically just a figurehead receiving a salary.
After becoming the Lord of the Beast Path, it seems that it has only done one thing so far: demoted the Three-legged Golden Crow clan to Sinful Race.
I did nothing else but wait for my daily wages to arrive.
Ancestor Minghe: Bai Chen, what are you complaining about? Stop being so Versailles-like!
As the Lord of the Asura Path, I toil away every day, serving Houtu like a beast of burden, just to earn my salary Lord of the Asura Path.
You get paid without doing anything, just by eating, drinking, and having fun. You should be smug!
"This~"
Zhunti carefully for a moment, Bai Chen was indeed just a figurehead.
This cat is utterly wicked, and even if Houtu were its closest friend, it would be unlikely that she would completely relinquish power to it in order to prevent it from wreaking havoc Primordial World.
"Third brother, even if Houtu Daoist Houtu hasn't completely delegated power to you, you should still have considerable authority, right?"
Zhunti was fooled by Bai Chen, but Jieyin, as a wise man, would not be easily fooled by this cat.
This cat is the Lord of the Beast Path, even if only in name. It was officially appointed Lord of the Beast Path by Primordial World a proclamation to the Houtu.
This cat may not have a lot of permissions, but it definitely does.
"Saint Jieyin, my limited authority all originates from Houtu. If even Houtu disagrees, what use is my limited authority?"
Bai Chen declined again. It wasn't stupid; what if the Western Primordial Era rose to Jieyin and Zhunti's strength increased?
If these two were the weakest among the saints, they would be Primordial World.
If this guy really gets powerful, what will he become?
For the sake of all living beings in the Primordial World world, even at the risk of offending a saint, the Great God Bai Chen must refuse.
All living beings of the Primordial World world: Bai Chen, are you really doing this for us?
All right!
Bai Chen didn't care about the beings of the Primordial World at all; it simply didn't want to aid its enemies.
The relationships among the sages, except for the brotherhood of Jieyin and Zhunti, are all competitive.
As a close friend of Nuwa and Houtu, Bai Chen naturally couldn't help the enemy and allow Jieyin and Zhunti to grow stronger.
Bai Chen's repeated refusal greatly displeased Jieyin and Zhunti.
Before they could unleash their anger, Houtu:
"Daoist Hongjun, your disciple has set his sights on my Underworld, intending to irrigate the West with the blood of Primordial World Western Primordial Era. You'd better do something about it!"
"If you don't discipline them, I'll discipline them for you!"
Houtu in the underworld did not rebuke Jieyin and Zhunti, but instead directly addressed Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
The evil deeds of Jieyin and Zhunti were made public and announced to the Primordial World, showing no Jieyin and Zhunti whatsoever.
Upon hearing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun of the Purple Cloud Palace in the Great Luo Heaven was furious.
He was furious, not because of Houtu's rude behavior, but because of the shameful little thing about Jieyin and Zhunti Gan!
Dao Ancestor Hongjun felt that given what Jieyin and Jieyin and Zhunti had done, the fact that Houtu hadn't punished them was already a great show of respect.
After all, look at what Jieyin and Zhunti are doing!
In order to revitalize the Western Primordial Era, they actually abandoned the eastern Primordial World.
Houtu had already refused Jieyin and Zhunti's request, but these two actually went to block Bai Chen in order to achieve their goal, trying to get Bai Chen to open a back door for them.
These two are truly a disgrace!
Fortunately, he was only taking on disciples on behalf of the Heavenly Dao. These two were just disciples of the Heavenly Dao, not his own Dao Ancestor Hongjun. He was just managing them on behalf of the Heavenly Dao.
If these two were really his apprentices, he would want to kill these two disgraceful bastards.
"Jieyin and Zhunti, I think you two were confused for a moment, but you haven't made a big mistake yet."
"I hereby order you to immediately return to the Western Primordial Era and be confined for one hundred Yuan Hui (a unit of time) at home, and you are not to leave the Western Primordial Era."
Dao Ancestor Hongjun directly issued Imperial Decree, Jieyin and Zhunti on Primordial World world.
