Pick Him Up and Shake Him! (cont.)

At that time, the cat guaranteed that it could save Fuxi's life.

Now that Yuanfeng has been released, the cat has changed its tune.

Is this cat betraying its own Nuwa, after using her?

Bai Chen grabbed Nuwa's hand with her little paws to stop her from flicking his forehead, and retorted:

"What excuse? I'm telling the truth."

I, Great God Bai Chen, am a cat of excellent character; how could I possibly make excuses?

"Bad Cat, you're coming back to the Wa Saint Palace with me now. All you ever do is cause trouble outside."

Nuwa planned to take Bai Chen back, after all, Nuwa was really worried about leaving the cat outside.

For Fuxi, this cat was the greatest danger, regardless of whether there was any actual danger.

Nuwa was genuinely frightened and released the cat outside. The cat devoured all of Fuxi's creations, causing Fuxi to Merit and Fortune.

"This great god still maintains the same stance: I must oversee that monster's return to his rightful place."

Bai Chen began to struggle frantically, not wanting to be taken back by Nuwa.

It was going to educate Fuxi, but all those teaching sticks it had prepared for Fuxi were still useless!

Nuwa saw Bai Chen struggling frantically, and upon meeting his gaze, she inquired:

"Bad Cat, are you sure you're not going back to the Wa Saint Palace?"

Bai Chen nodded and said firmly:

"Absolutely certain!"

What, Nuwa trying to scare Great God Bai Chen, with her eyes?

Great God Bai Chen, wasn't buying it.

"Okay, okay!"

Nuwa said "good" three times in a row, then said coldly:

"In that case, you go and spy on my brother, while I spy on you!"

If the cat won't go back with me, I'll just stay by its side; the effect will be the same.

As long as I keep a close eye on this cat, it won't be able to cause any trouble and threaten Fuxi's Heavenly Emperor's Dao Fruit.

Upon hearing that Nuwa was going to keep an eye on him, Bai Chen quickly spoke up:

"Nuwa, you are a sage, you should return to your sacred site!"

If Nuwa keeps a close eye on Great God Bai Chen, wouldn't he have no freedom at all?

Do I still have a chance to whip Fuxi with those vines?

In order to deal with, or rather, to educate, Fuxi, Nuwa must be coaxed back.

"Hehehe!"

Nuwa sneered, "Let's see if this cat believes me or not."

Heavenly Court...

After leaving the human race, the Queen Mother of the West did not return to the human realm immediately, but instead went to the Heavenly Court.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West!"

Upon the arrival of the Queen Mother of the West, Haotian, Yaoji, and Donghua came to greet her.

As for Yaochi, she didn't come.

Yaochi knew that Bai Chen would definitely suppress Haotian in the future, so she had recently started to keep her distance from Haotian and the others to avoid being implicated and harmed in the future.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists!"

Although the Queen Mother of the West looked down on Haotian and Yaoji, who were born later in life, she still managed to hide it well on the surface out of respect for Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Donghua.

"Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, you've come at the right time. I happen to have some matters I'd like to ask you to handle."

"Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, now that the Heavenly Court is being rebuilt, I would like to invite you to join Heavenly Court so that we may govern the beings of the Primordial World together."

Haotian stated his intentions right away, showing he had no understanding of human relationships or social etiquette.

The main problem was that he got arrogant. He thought that as an attendant of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he was superior to others.

Now he has been appointed as the Jade Emperor by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, to help the saints manage the Primordial World.

Haotian felt that his position was one rank lower than that of a sage, and Haotian always considered himself to be of the same generation as the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti, and their junior brother.

Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti: You, a mere gatekeeper of the Purple Cloud Palace in Haotian, what qualifications do you have to be our junior brother?

If we're talking about cultivating connections, the Three Thousand Purple Cloud Guests are far more qualified than you Haotian.

Back when the Purple Cloud Palace was preaching, even you, Haotian, weren't qualified to come to the main hall to listen to the sermons. At least the Three Thousand Purple Cloud Guests listened to the sermons with us.

Even those Three Thousand Purple Cloud Guests didn't dare call themselves junior brothers of us saints, so what makes you, Haotian, worthy of being our junior brother?

The Queen Mother of the West, her eyes showing displeasure and suppressing her anger, revealed Haotian's thoughts:

"Fellow Daoist Haotian, you probably covet my title Head of Female Immortals and want to use it to invite those female Head of Female Immortals Innate Great God to join the Heavenly Court, is that right?"

The Queen Mother of the West thought Haotian was even more powerful than Bai Chen. At least Bai Chen started dreaming while asleep, while Haotian started dreaming even before he was there.

Haotian, oblivious to the change in Queen Mother of the West's tone, continued with his grand plan:

"Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, as long as you join the Heavenly Court..."

"At that time, you, as the Head of Female Immortals with Fellow Donghua, and as the Jade Emperor, will summon the Innate Great God. At that time, the Heavenly Court will surely be filled with all the immortals."

At this moment, Haotian seemed to already see the magnificent scene of all the immortals of the Heavenly Court coming to pay homage, and himself, the Jade Emperor, ruling over all living beings in the Primordial World.

The future that Haotian envisioned was, in the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West, nothing but a pipe dream, no, something impossible even in a dream.

"Snort!"

"A gathering of ten thousand immortals?"

As the Queen Mother of the West chuckled, her expression was full of disdain and contempt.

"Fellow Haotian, let's face reality."

"Those Innate Great God are all arrogant by nature and look down on beings born after birth."

Even if you are the Jade Emperor appointed by the Dao Ancestor, it doesn't change the fact that you attained enlightenment later in life, and are not Innate Great God!

The Queen Mother of the West stated the stark reality: in Queen Mother of the West understanding, the vast majority of the Innate Great God were arrogant to the core.

And those Innate Great God who are not arrogant and do not discriminate against those born after birth are generally not good people.

For example, Bai Chen, Jieyin and Zhunti the leaders. As Innate Great God, they do not discriminate against beings born after birth. Bai Chen can even play with beings born after birth.

Therefore, under such circumstances, it is virtually impossible for Innate Great God to assist Haotian in revitalizing the Heavenly Court.

If those Innate Great God are willing to help Haotian revitalize the Heavenly Court, Haotian had better be wary.

"Fellow Daoist Queen Mother of the West, although I am not Innate Great God, this Heavenly Court was re-established by Imperial Decree the Dao Ancestor."

Haotian retorted defiantly, saying that while those Innate Great God might have powerful backgrounds, he himself had powerful backers.

Bai Chen, that Evil Cat, dared to commit all sorts of evil deeds in the Primordial World only because he had powerful backers.

Haotian himself hadn't committed any heinous acts; was it too much to simply ask those Innate Great God for help?

"Haotian, the Heavenly Court was restarted by order of the Dao Ancestor, but can it really compare to the Human Religion Sect?"

According to what the Queen Mother of the West knew, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun restarted the Heavenly Court to help the Heavenly Court with trivial matters; in other words, the Heavenly Court worked for the sages.

The so-called Heavenly Court is no match for the Human Religion's lineage; it's merely a high-level employee.

"Haotian, you should know that, excluding the special case of the Demonic Sect, there is only one Innate Great God Daoist Randeng who has joined the Human Religion's lineage."

"Do you think those Innate Great God, who are even reluctant to join the lineage of Human Religion, would join a Heavenly Court that is inferior to the lineage of Human Religion?"

The Queen Mother of the West was aware of the circumstances surrounding the various Human Religion lineages.

Although Nuwa's demon cult had Innate Great God like Ji Meng, those guys didn't join the demon cult voluntarily; they were forced to join.

The only one who voluntarily joined the Human Religion's lineage was a Daoist Randeng.

The Daoist Randeng joined the Chan Sect to protect himself because his cultivation was too weak.

"This..."

Haotian was rendered speechless by Queen Mother of the West's rebuttal, after all, the Heavenly Court was not as powerful as the Human Religion, and it was a fact that there was no Sage to oversee it.

As the saying goes, a smile doesn't disappear, it just moves on.

The smile that had been on Haotian's face was now directed at the Queen Mother of the West.

After venting her anger at Bai Chen on Haotian, the Queen Mother of the West felt much better.

At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West finally understood why Bai Chen always argued with others—it turned out that arguing with people made him feel good!

Bai Chen: Queen Mother of the West, you are still too young; you've only seen the first layer.

Criticizing others can make you feel good, which in turn makes your mind at peace.

When one's mind is at peace, one can cultivate more effectively and reap greater rewards.

With more spiritual cultivation, one will naturally not harbor resentment towards the living beings of the Primordial World.

Therefore, criticizing others is beneficial to spiritual practice and to all living beings in the Primordial World.

Donghua: Bai Chen, did you secretly modify Fellow Queen Mother of the West's settings?

The Queen Mother of the West felt that she had not yet vented her anger at Bai Chen, and her Daoist heart was still somewhat troubled.

Then, turning to Haotian, he said again:

"Haotian, there's something you'd better be clear about: it's true that you are the Heavenly Court's ruler appointed by the Dao Ancestor, but that's only half the story."

"Moreover, Bai Chen is the nominal Heavenly Emperor, while you are merely the Jade Emperor."

The Queen Mother of the West had long been dissatisfied with Haotian's constant use of the title "This Emperor." He was merely a junior, a high-ranking employee, yet he truly considered himself the ruler of Heavenly Court?
