Not long after, Bai Chen found a secret realm with the help of a fragment of the Jade Disk of Creation.
The restrictions of this secret realm were not strong. Bai Chen shattered them with a single paw.
Although Bai Chen easily broke the restrictions, he wasn't happy at all.
The weaker the guardian restrictions, the less likely there were to be any good items inside.
However, since the restrictions were already broken, and based on the principle of "a thief never leaves empty-handed," Bai Chen still entered the secret realm.
As soon as Bai Chen entered, he was stunned. What a vast expanse of green grassland!
How long would it take to be "cuckolded" to have such a large area of green grassland!
"Acquired Spiritual Root—Xun Grass!"
Bai Chen plucked a few stalks and sniffed them. Based on his Innate Inheritance, he learned about the other party's information.
After confirming it was non-toxic, Bai Chen stuffed it into his mouth and began to chew.
"It tastes pretty good!"
Bai Chen, transforming into a Primordial Gourmet, gave his evaluation.
As the Xun Grass entered his stomach and was refined, its medicinal effects took hold, and Bai Chen's fur became a little more lustrous.
Bai Chen transformed the fragment of the Jade Disk of Creation into a Precious Mirror, opened a new page, and wrote in Innate Dao Script:
"Xun Grass, fragrant taste, consuming it can beautify the complexion.
Great God Bai Chen's rating index: One star!"
After transforming, when Bai Chen was bored, he had the idea of writing a Primordial Cookbook that was even more comprehensive than the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
After rating the Xun Grass, Bai Chen vigorously shook his fur, creating countless clones. These clones, armed with sharp blades, began to harvest and pack the Xun Grass.
Although these Xun Grass didn't have any particularly powerful effects, Bai Chen thought they tasted quite good and could be used as Imperial Cat Grass for Great God Bai Chen.
Moreover, this Xun Grass could beautify the complexion. It might not have much value for male beings, but it was different for female beings.
It would be quite useful in the future for gifting and trading with those female beings.
"I didn't expect the mother plant to be an Innate Spiritual Root!"
As the Xun Grass stalks were harvested one by one, Bai Chen discovered one that was different.
This Xun Grass had a square stem, yellow flowers, and red fruit, exuding Innate Dao Charm.
Bai Chen quickly collected this mother plant of Xun Grass. Innate Spiritual Roots were valuable items.
As time passed, by the time Bai Chen left this secret realm, the original green grassland had become barren land with not a blade of grass left.
He, Great God Bai Chen, was an Innate Divine Beast and naturally possessed the virtue of thrift and diligence.
I, Great God Bai Chen, dislike wasting things the most. I always lick every grain of rice in my bowl clean!
After dealing with this secret realm, Bai Chen took the fragment of the Jade Disk of Creation and began searching for the next opportunity and fortune.
After Nuwa saw off her guests, she went to look for Bai Chen. When she found that Bai Chen was not in the secret realm, she immediately panicked.
Where did her cat go?
Where did it go?
Nuwa immediately began to deduce and saw the scene of Bai Chen leaving the secret realm. Then, a force interrupted her continued calculations.
Nuwa became furious. There were not many beings on Buzhou Mountain that she couldn't deduce.
She could even deduce her elder brother Fuxi. On Buzhou Mountain, only the Ancestor Witches were beyond her reach!
Bai Chen must have been captured by the Ancestor Witches and taken to their Dojo!
Well done, Ancestor Witches!
Well done, Houtu and Xuanming. You visited my Dojo as guests, calling me Sister Nuwa and Fellow Daoist Nuwa.
Yet, you secretly stole my cat, you despicable and shameless beings, you've gone too far in bullying a god!
Yuan Feng: Nuwa, didn't you steal my cat like this too?
Damn Ancestor Witches! I, Nuwa, spent a Spiritual Treasure to buy Bai Chen back from the Phoenix Clan, and you Ancestor Witches directly took him empty-handed.
You came to steal, to snatch!
Nuwa became angrier the more she thought about it. She took her companion Spiritual Treasure, the great sword—Primordial Holy Sword—and went to the main peak to reason with the Ancestor Witches.
Although she, Nuwa, didn't like conflict, if others wanted to test the sharpness of her treasure sword, she didn't mind obliging them.
Nuwa anxiously flew towards the main peak of Buzhou Mountain. After all, Bai Chen was in the hands of those barbarian Ancestor Witches, and it was too dangerous. What if he was eaten?
The main peak of Buzhou Mountain was where Pangu Hall was located. The entire main peak was occupied by the Ancestor Witches.
Houtu and Xuanming had just returned from visiting Nuwa and were playing on the main peak.
"Sister Nuwa, why have you come to the main peak?"
Houtu was very puzzled when she saw Nuwa arrive at the main peak. In her memory, this was the first time Nuwa had come to the main peak.
"Houtu, don't you know why I'm here?"
Nuwa's tone was ice-cold. Previously, she would always add "little sister" after her address to Houtu.
But now, the other party was a cat thief, so how could Nuwa possibly be polite to her?
"???"
Houtu sensed the drastic change in Nuwa's attitude towards her and was very confused.
Weren't they all having fun together before? Why did her expression suddenly change?
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, you're angry, but why take it out on my sister!"
Xuanming's mind was quicker than Houtu's. She sensed Nuwa's fury.
"Hand over Bai Chen, and I will immediately leave the main peak."
Nuwa couldn't be bothered to play nice with these cat thieves anymore. All she wanted now was to get her cat back.
"Bai Chen???"
When Nuwa spoke, Houtu became even more bewildered, feeling like her brain couldn't keep up.
Nuwa conjured an image of Bai Chen's appearance. Seeing the fluffy, chubby little beast, Houtu could only think of one word: want!
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, you mean our Ancestor Witches captured your pet beast?"
Xuanming finally understood. Nuwa's pet beast was missing, and she suspected their Ancestor Witches had captured it, hence her coming to demand its return.
"Naturally!"
"After all, on Buzhou Mountain, besides our siblings, there are only your siblings!"
There were only two groups of beings on Buzhou Mountain. Now that Bai Chen was missing, who else would Nuwa suspect if not the Ancestor Witches?
"Sister Nuwa, don't worry, I'll go ask my brothers right away!"
After comforting Nuwa, Houtu prepared to return to Pangu Hall.
She was also afraid that Bai Chen had indeed been captured and eaten by her brothers.
"No need to ask!"
A loud shout echoed, followed by spatial distortion. Ancestor Witch Dijiang, along with the other nine Great Witches, broke through the void and arrived.
"Nuwa, we did not capture this little beast. How much meat could this little beast even have? It wouldn't even be enough for a few bites!"
Ancestor Witch Dijiang already knew what was happening here and gave Nuwa her reply.
That tiny Bai Chen, how much meat could it possibly have? Even if it walked past them, they wouldn't bother to catch it.
"Really?"
Nuwa didn't quite believe Ancestor Witch Dijiang's words. After all, there were only two groups of beings on Buzhou Mountain.
"We are Pangu's orthodox descendants, how could we deceive you!"
Ancestor Witch Zhurong became furious when his brothers were suspected.
Nuwa suspected their Ancestor Witches? She was doubting the character of Pangu's orthodox descendants.
"Do you dare to let me search inside!"
Nuwa still didn't trust the Ancestor Witch lineage. After all, seeing is believing.
"Presumptuous!"
All the Ancestor Witches were enraged. Where was this?
This was the main peak of Buzhou Mountain, the location of Pangu Hall, a place guarded by their Ancestor Witches. And Nuwa, an outsider, wanted to search it.
This was disrespect towards them, and even more so, disrespect towards their Father God Pangu!
Just as Nuwa and the Ancestor Witches were arguing, Fuxi hurried over to mediate.
"Sister, Bai Chen is likely on Buzhou Mountain looking for opportunities.
Let's search other places first. If we really can't find that fat cat, then we can come back here."
Fuxi truly didn't want Nuwa to argue with the Twelve Ancestor Witches, as they had the numerical advantage.
Moreover, Fuxi's intuition told him that the Twelve Ancestor Witches were incredibly powerful.
If their siblings were to fight the Twelve Ancestor Witches, their siblings would be the ones at a disadvantage.
Nuwa was also flustered by her anxiety. After Fuxi's reminder, she finally calmed down.
That fat cat might indeed be on Buzhou Mountain looking for opportunities and had forgotten to return while in that secret realm.
After Nuwa bowed and apologized, she quickly left to find Bai Chen.
Fuxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they didn't end up fighting the Twelve Ancestor Witches, or he wouldn't have known how to resolve the situation.
