As soon as Houtu arrived, she happened to see Xuanming and Bai Chen facing off.

He was so fat!

That was Houtu's first impression of Bai Chen. Although Bai Chen wasn't very big, he was all meat from head to toe.

Even his little tail was plump and thick.

Houtu reached out and poked Bai Chen's chubby belly, confirming that it definitely wasn't fluffy fur. He was simply fat.

Bai Chen guessed Houtu's identity and shot her an annoyed glance.

This Witch had started touching him without permission. She had no manners at all. How presumptuous!

Bai Chen swished his tail and knocked Houtu's hand away.

I'll let you touch me once, seeing as you're the future Earthly Dao Spokesperson.

If you want to touch me again, you'll have to offer me something!

Xuanming glared furiously at Bai Chen. This cat was clearly playing favorites!

When she had tried to catch him at first, he had dodged immediately and even struck back.

But when her younger sister Houtu touched him, he didn't dodge or retaliate. He had merely used his tail to brush her hand away!

This was blatant favoritism! How had Nuwa taught her Pet Beast?

Bai Chen: Xuanming, can you really compare with Houtu?

Houtu will be able to prove the Dao in the future and become the Earthly Dao Spokesperson!

"Are you Nuwa-jiejie's Pet Beast—Bai Chen?"

"I am the Ancestral Witch Houtu~"

Houtu greeted Bai Chen and introduced herself.

"Stop right there!"

Bai Chen interrupted her and asked in return:

"Who said this Great God was Nuwa's Pet Beast? This Great God and Nuwa are merely friends."

Bai Chen solemnly informed Houtu of his relationship with Nuwa. Beasts would never become slaves! Not even if they were promised food and lodging!

Houtu took Bai Chen's chubby paw and asked:

"Bai Chen, can we be friends?"

Houtu could guarantee that she genuinely wanted to be friends with Bai Chen. Petting the cat was merely a side benefit.

"Mm~"

Bai Chen nodded and hummed in agreement, then patted his chest and declared:

"This Great God loves making friends. Houtu, you qualify to be my friend."

As the saying went, one more friend meant one more path.

Bai Chen thought that if something ever went wrong with his path through Nuwa, at least he would still have Houtu as a backup.

Nuwa: You scummy cat!

"This Great God will treat you to some food. Don't be shy!"

Bai Chen pulled out two handfuls of worthless Houtian Xun Grass. He handed one to Houtu and started chewing on the other himself.

Houtu accepted the Xun Grass from Bai Chen. At that moment, she finally understood why Bai Chen was so fat. There were only two words—he loved to eat!

Because Xuanming had used the power of laws, Nuwa also sensed the disturbance. When she hurried over, the sight before her made her expression extremely ugly.

Bai Chen was sitting on Houtu's shoulder, bragging to the Houtu and Xuanming sisters.

He was telling them how Great God Bai Chen had battled the Fierce Beast Clan, fought Beast Emperor Shen Ni, and competed with First Qilin for the position of overlord of the walking beasts.

That was right. Bai Chen had made the whole thing up.

The Houtu and Xuanming sisters had never left Buzhou Mountain, so they knew nothing about the outside world.

Although they were somewhat suspicious, they had no idea how to refute him.

"Little White!"

Nuwa was somewhat furious. She had hidden this fat cat away precisely to prevent him from meeting Xuanming and Houtu.

Yet the fat cat had run off to seek opportunities on his own. It had been bad enough that he made her worry, but now he had even gotten acquainted with the Houtu and Xuanming sisters. This was simply too much!

This fat cat had cost her spirit treasures to purchase from the Mystic Sky Fire Phoenix. How could he sneak around behind her back and get involved with someone else?

When Bai Chen heard the words "Little White," he instinctively turned his head. He saw Nuwa burning with rage.

"Little White, you'd better come back with me on your own. Otherwise, don't blame me for exposing your true identity!"

Nuwa had heard Bai Chen's bragging just now. This fat cat had supposedly competed with First Qilin for the position of Lord of the Walking Beasts?

Those words could only fool the two idiots, Xuanming and Houtu. After all, those two idiots knew nothing about the outside world.

Nuwa estimated that if Bai Chen dared to fight First Qilin, the result would definitely be thirty-seven: Bai Chen would die three times, and First Qilin would die seven times!

Chapter 6: Bai Chen Breaks Up the Fight!

Three deaths in three breaths wasn't Nuwa looking down on Bai Chen. It meant she already thought highly enough of him.

First Qilin's cultivation had already reached the Half-step Dao Proving realm, while Bai Chen had merely formed the Three Flowers Above the Crown as a High-level Golden Immortal.

(Hongjun had not yet preached the Dao, so realms such as Taiyi Golden Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, and Quasi-Saint did not currently exist.

For now, everyone was a Golden Immortal. The realms were lower-level (ordinary) Golden Immortal, middle-level (Taiyi) Golden Immortal, high-level (Great Luo) Golden Immortal, and Half-step Dao Proving!)

With Bai Chen's current cultivation, Nuwa felt that First Qilin could kill him effortlessly.

It was absolutely impossible for Bai Chen to compete with First Qilin for the position of Lord of the Walking Beasts!

"Hmph!"

Faced with Nuwa's threat, Bai Chen snorted coldly, clearly displeased.

Nuwa was his friend. It would have been bad enough if she hadn't helped Great God Bai Chen cover his lie, but now she was even trying to threaten him. How hateful!

Bai Chen was extremely conflicted. He didn't want to submit to evil forces, but he was also afraid that Nuwa would expose him.

After all, he had only just finished bragging. If Nuwa exposed him now, it would be incredibly humiliating.

Just as Bai Chen hesitated, Nuwa's figure flashed, and she instantly appeared beside him.

Nuwa grabbed Bai Chen by the scruff of his neck and said:

"Little White, the Ancestral Witches like eating flesh. Be careful, or they might eat you."

Nuwa felt that she was only doing this for Bai Chen's sake. His cultivation had not come easily. If he were eaten by an Ancestral Witch, wouldn't it be tragic for all his innate creation to turn to nothing?

Just as Nuwa was about to carry Bai Chen away, Ancestral Witch Xuanming called out to her:

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, this is Buzhou Mountain, formed from our Father God's body. Since Bai Chen appeared on Buzhou Mountain, he should belong to us Ancestral Witches, don't you agree?"

As Ancestral Witch Xuanming finished speaking, the power of laws surged wildly, serving as a warning to Nuwa.

Xuanming had already been filled with anger after Nuwa wrongly accused her earlier. Now, she had completely dropped all pretense.

If Nuwa handed Bai Chen over to the sisters, they could let the matter end there, and their previous grudge would disappear along with it.

Otherwise, she shouldn't blame Ancestral Witch Xuanming for being impolite.

"Fellow Daoist Xuanming, if you insist on fighting, I shall oblige."

Nuwa extended a hand, and her accompanying supreme treasure, the Primordial Holy Sword, appeared in it.

Nuwa knew that the Ancestral Witches possessed formidable physical abilities, but she trusted that her accompanying supreme treasure, the Primordial Holy Sword, could break through their physical divine abilities.

The moment Bai Chen saw the Primordial Holy Sword, he became excited and began waving his little paws nonstop.

Nuwa's accompanying supreme treasure, the Primordial Holy Sword, was an unparalleled treasure. It was the greatest creation in all of Honghuang and could contend with an Innate Supreme Treasure.

Bai Chen wanted it. He wanted it very badly.

Bai Chen felt that keeping the Primordial Holy Sword in Nuwa's hands was a waste. Later, Nuwa would seek to prove the Dao.

She would dismantle the Primordial Holy Sword. The hilt would become the Heaven Refining Furnace, the blade would become the Four Treasured Swords, and the scabbard would become the Creation Immortal Cauldron.

Bai Chen felt that Nuwa was such a wastrel. What a pity that this unparalleled treasure, the Primordial Holy Sword, would be dismantled.

If the Primordial Holy Sword were his accompanying supreme treasure, Great God Bai Chen would hug it to sleep every day. He would never be willing to dismantle it.

As Nuwa summoned the Primordial Holy Sword, the Law of Creation surged wildly around her.

Just as the two sides were about to fight, Xuanming's and Nuwa's reinforcements arrived.

Nuwa had only one reinforcement, the useless Fuxi, while Xuanming was backed by all the Ancestral Witches.

"Fuxi and Nuwa, taking into account that you siblings transformed and attained the Dao on Buzhou Mountain, and taking into account Father God's benevolence, we Ancestral Witches did not drive you out of Buzhou Mountain."

"Yet now you want to make enemies of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage? Do you think you're qualified?"

Ancestral Witch Dijiang, who had arrived by tearing through the void, angrily rebuked Fuxi and Nuwa. He felt that the siblings were far too ungrateful.

"Ancestral Witch Dijiang, stop twisting the truth! It was clearly Xuanming who wanted to steal my Little White!"

"If the Twelve Ancestor Witches want to fight, then fight! Do you really think I, Nuwa, am afraid of you?"

Nuwa had long been dissatisfied with the domineering behavior of the Ancestral Witches. She knew that the Ancestral Witches disliked her and her brother, and she disliked them just as much.

After the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity in later generations, Nuwa moved her and Fuxi's dojo out of Buzhou Mountain and relocated it to Phoenix Perch Mountain for two reasons:

The main reason was that the conflict between the siblings and the Witch Clan had deepened. The second was that they had promised Yuanfeng to protect the Phoenix Clan!

Today's incident involving Bai Chen was merely the fuse. It had simply caused the conflict to erupt ahead of time.

As Nuwa channeled the Primordial Holy Sword with the Law of Creation, the Primordial Holy Sword radiated divine light, and the power of creation surged wildly. Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire erupted!

The Ancestral Witches immediately felt as if they were facing a great enemy. Nuwa's strength was far greater than they had expected!

More precisely, they had never expected Nuwa to possess such a supreme treasure as the Primordial Holy Sword.

"Everyone, elder sisters and brothers, Sister Nuwa, please stop fighting!"
