Zhenyuanzi's Embarrassment! (cont.)

"Houtu, it's time to arrange for the Lord of Soldiers!"

Bai Chen stuffed handfuls of Shore Flower into his mouth.

Houtu planted so many Shore Flower just so that her Great God Bai Chen could eat them, right?

Moreover, the fact that the Great God Bai Chen personally came to inform Houtu was out of consideration for the friendship between the gods and witches.

Otherwise, the Great God Bai Chen wouldn't have personally come to inform Houtu; he would have simply sent a message, just like he would have informed Taiqing Laozi.

Houtu frowned Houtu watched Bai Chen eat handfuls of the Shore Flower she had planted.

These Shore Flower are a key ingredient in making Meng Po's Soup for forgetting past lives), couldn't this cat have eaten them sparingly?

What will happen to the reincarnated souls if this cat eats all the Shore Flower one day?

Houtu raised her hand and pulled Bai Chen over, grabbing him by the back of the neck, and asked:

"Bad Cat, do you still stand by what you promised me?"

Although Bai Chen had already promised last time that he would appoint Chi You Human Emperor if Chi You emerged victorious.

However, Houtu knew that Bai Chen was prone to changing his mind, so she wanted to confirm whether the cat had changed its mind.

If this cat dares to change its mind, don't blame me for spanking it!

"The word of this great god is of course true!"

Bai Chen crossed his arms in front of his chest, nodded, and then added:

"But that's assuming Chi You wins!"

Bai Chen thought it would be acceptable to give the Human Emperor to Chi You, but only if the latter was the victor of the Battle of Zhuolu, not the loser.

Whether it was Chi You or Xuanyuan Shi, they were both losers and had no right to become the Human Emperor!

Houtu put the cat down only Houtu seeing that Bai Chen had not changed his mind.

After regaining his freedom, Bai Chen began eating large quantities of Shore Flower, reciting as he ate:

"Houtu, you are focusing too much on the difference between the Human Emperor and the Lord of Soldiers. What determines Merit and Fortune is never status, but rather contributions and achievements to the human race."

"Even the Five Emperors, if their achievements are great enough, can obtain Merit and Fortune comparable to the Three Sovereigns of Heaven, Earth, and Man!"

Even if Houtu and the Witch Clan wanted to help Chi You, Bai Chen still didn't believe Chi You could win.

Because Chi You had poor eyesight, he couldn't choose a mount.

That's why Bai Chen gave Houtu Tu a heads-up beforehand, so that she wouldn't be unable to accept the outcome if they lost later.

Houtu believed that Bai Chen harbored resentment towards Chi You, most likely because of the incident where Chi You had offered up his head.

Houtu analyzing Bai Chen's words, Hou Tu reached out and patted Bai Chen's head, saying:

"Little White, I can understand your words as saying that one of the Five Emperors of later generations had great achievements, Merit and Fortune were enough to rival the Three Sovereigns."

Houtu had known Bai Chen for so long and knew Bai Chen was no ordinary person; she had long since learned to grasp the key points in Bai Chen words.

For example, what this cat said this time could very well be something that will happen in the future.

"Huh!"

Houtu's words startled Bai Chen, who then scolded her with her paw:

"You're not Houtu, so who are you? Houtu isn't that clever!"

Bai Chen seriously suspected that the Houtu in front of him was an imposter, because today's Houtu was a little too clever.

Houtu originally wanted to talk to Bai Chen properly, but Bai Chen's cheeky behavior made her a little unhappy.

"Little White, so you've always thought of me as stupid!"

Houtu grabbed Bai Chen and lifted him up. This cat is getting more and more mischievous; I really don't know how Nuwa manages to control it.

"Houtu, release this great goddess!"

Bai Chen, whose hair had been pricked and was now standing on end, struggled incessantly, but Houtu ignored him; what could he do when this cat was so mischievous?

On the Dragon Clan side, after discussing it, Ying Long and the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon decided that the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon would be reincarnated as a human to become the Human Emperor.

The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon found the Yuanshi Tianzun and reported the situation. The Yuanshi Tianzun then began to make arrangements to prepare for the descent of the Human Emperor.

Meanwhile, Taiqing Laozi was also arranging for the descent of the Imperial Emperor.

Compared to Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Laozi, Houtu had been planning this matter for many years and had been waiting for Bai Chen's notification.

Now that Bai Chen has given the order, Houtu and the Witch Clan have immediately taken action.

With the simultaneous entry of the Human Emperor, the Lord of Soldiers, and the History Emperor into the game, some unusual things have happened among the human race.

The Witch Clan had arranged for the Witch-Human Race to migrate from the southern part of the Primordial World to Primordial World eastern part many years ago, but before that, the migration was only done little by little.

Therefore, even the sages did not notice anything unusual. However, in order to help Chi You seize the throne of the Human Emperor, the Witch Clan mobilized dozens of Witch-Human Race to migrate to the eastern part of the Primordial World.

Moreover, some members of the Wuren tribe are also mixed in with other Witch Clan.

Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Laozi immediately sensed something was wrong; they both strongly suspected that Houtu and the Witch Clan were up to something.

The hot-tempered Yuanshi Tianzun went directly to Houtu's Houtu temple in the Underworld to question Houtu:

"Houtu Daoist Houtu, why has the Witch-Human Race begun to frequently migrate from the southern part of the Primordial World to the Primordial World part?"

Faced with the questioning of the Yuanshi Tianzun, Houtu's face showed a playful expression, and she smiled:

"Looks like Little White didn't tell you that my Witch Clan also received a human fruit position?"

Houtu had no idea of the current situation; Yuanshi Tianzun had been tricked by Bai Chen, that unscrupulous merchant.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun was greatly surprised, as he had no idea that the Witch Clan had also been granted a position among the human race.

"Yuqing Yuanshi, now that you know the situation, you may leave."

Houtu waved her hand, signaling Yuanshi Tianzun to get lost. If he didn't leave...

Then they won't have to leave; they can just wait for Dao Ancestor Hongjun to come to the Underworld to take them away!

Houtu issued the order to leave, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately broke through the void and left. Even if Houtu hadn't issued the order, Yuanshi Tianzun would have been anxious to leave and then go find Bai Chen, that unscrupulous merchant, to settle accounts.

Wa Saint Palace...

The enraged Yuanshi Tianzun entered the main hall, pointed at Bai Chen who was perched on Nuwa's shoulder, and roared:

"Bai Chen, shouldn't you explain this to me?"

The Yuanshi Tianzun was furious. When he was refining the spiritual treasure for Bai Chen, he not only rushed the work to meet the deadline, but also spent a lot of effort to enhance the power of the Hammer of Reason.

And what happened to Bai Chen, that unscrupulous businessman?

They didn't even tell me that the Witch Clan had such an important position among humans.

Isn't Bai Chen treating Yuanshi Tianzun like an honest person and trying to screw him over?

If I had known earlier that the human race of the Witch Clan was at the same stage as the Human Emperor, I would never have wanted the Human Emperor's authority.

When Bai Chen saw that Yuanshi Tianzun had come to settle accounts with him, he quickly hid behind Nuwa and pretended to be stupid, asking:

"What does the Yuanshi Sage mean?"

Yuanshi Tianzun, seeing Bai Chen still feigning ignorance, questioned:

"Bai Chen, why does the Witch Clan have a Human Fruit Position?"

Yuanshi Tianzun felt that although Bai Chen had often cheated and swindled people in the Primordial World before, he had only cheated and swindled others and had never cheated him.

Now this Evil Cat has even tricked me, the Yuanshi Tianzun. Do I really look like a scapegoat?

Bai Chen and Nuwa: They are indeed somewhat similar, because the treacherous ones both actively seek out being tricked.

"Yuanshi Sage, didn't I say long ago that during the reign of the Human Emperor, several human beings attained Buddhahood?"

Bai Chen gave the excuse he had prepared, mainly to deny that he had deliberately tricked Yuanshi Tianzun.

As long as he doesn't admit it, Yuanshi Tianzun can't do anything to him.

"Bai Chen, you only mentioned the matter of the Imperial Emperor, but you didn't mention that the Witch Clan also has a position in the human race?"

Yuanshi Tianzun retorted directly after hearing Bai Chen's explanation.

I remember clearly that Bai Chen never mentioned anything about the Witch Clan having a Human Fruit Position. This cat can't shirk its responsibility.

Bai Chen, hiding behind Nuwa, spread his hands and feigned innocence, saying:

"But you didn't ask about it, Yuanshi Sage. I thought you knew about it, or that you didn't care."

"If you don't know, just ask!"

"If you ask, I'll definitely tell you everything!"

Bai Chen felt that this wasn't his fault; it was all Yuanshi Tianzun's fault for not asking.

If he asked, would the Great God Bai Chen not tell him?

You should know that Great God Bai Chen, has a stronger sense of responsibility than anyone else.

Bai Chen's sophistry and counter-accusation enraged Yuanshi Tianzun, causing him to erupt in a tirade of curses:

"Bai Chen, you are despicable and shameless! This is fraud!"

"..."

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun finally understood why those guys hated Bai Chen much—because this Evil Cat truly had no bottom line.

This cat used a combination of coaxing and deception to get me to take over the huge pitfall of becoming the Human Emperor.

Now that he's taken over this huge mess, he's realized something's wrong and wants to confront the cat.

As a result, the Evil Cat not only refused to admit its mistake and take responsibility, but also turned around and blamed itself for everything.

Being a cat really shouldn't be Bai Chen!

Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun wouldn't admit his mistakes and even scolded him, Bai Chen immediately poked Nuwa, who was watching the show with her little paw, signaling her to speak up quickly.
