Recruiting Bodyguards and Enforcers!
I moved house with Little White to avoid these two bastards, but they still showed up at my door.
Even more outrageous, Houtu and Xuanming have established Witch Tribe not far from Phoenix Perch Mountain, intending to become neighbors with Bai Chen.
"Well played!"
"Those two dead birds deserve a beating."
Bai Chen sat on Houtu's shoulder, listening to Xuanming and Houtu recount the events of the Initial Battle between Wu and Yao the Lich King and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were injured, he couldn't help but shout "Good!"
"Little White!"
Seeing Bai Chen chatting so happily with Houtu and Xuanming, Nuwa immediately gave Bai Chen a warning look.
But Bai Chen decisively ignored it. "This great god is chatting with someone else, Nuwa, don't interrupt, go play somewhere else!"
In a fit of anger, Nuwa captured Bai Chen Bai Chen and gave him a good slap on the head.
When Nuwa was observing Bai Chen, she turned her gaze to Houtu and Xuanming, and said:
"Fellow Daoists, your Witch Clan enjoys eating blood. I promised Fellow Daoist Yuanfeng that I would protect the Phoenix Clan. It is somewhat inappropriate for you to establish a tribe near Phoenix Perch Mountain."
Nuwa's words were already quite tactful; if it weren't for her connection with Houtu and Xuanming, she would have Xuanming long Houtu.
Nuwa had no desire to be neighbors with Houtu and Xuanming; she used to be neighbors with those sisters on Buzhou Mountain.
Now that I've moved out of Buzhou Mountain, they still want to be my neighbors and come over to pet my cat. That's going too far.
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa Primordial World, the primordial world was created by our Witch Clan's Father God. Our Witch Clan can live and thrive wherever we wish."
The Ancestral Witch Xuanming directly retorted to Nuwa, ever since Nuwa secretly moved away from Buzhou Mountain, hiding from the two sisters, and took over Bai Chen.
The Ancestral Witch Xuanming didn't have a good impression of Nuwa, his former neighbor.
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, my sister and I have instructed our tribesmen not to approach Phoenix Perch Mountain, nor to attack the Phoenix Clan."
"And it was Little White who invited us to set up camp around Phoenix Perch Mountain!"
Houtu was not to be outdone and began to fight back against Nuwa.
She was so happy to be Bai Chen's Bai Chen, and that she could play with him from now on, so she wasn't going to leave.
"Fellow Daoists, what Little White said outside the Purple Cloud Palace was nothing but a joke and polite words. Please don't take it seriously!"
Nuwa immediately withdrew Bai Chen's previous invitation to Houtu and Xuanming, declaring that Houtu and Xuanming could not be kept and had to be driven away.
If they really settle down near Phoenix Perch Mountain, the two of them will come over every day to pet the cats.
"Little White, don't you think so?"
Nuwa threatened Bai Chen with her eyes, telling him that if this lazy cat dared to say anything out of line, she wouldn't hesitate to punish it.
"Stop arguing, this great master will treat you to some fruit."
Bai Chen took out four Yellow Middle Plum and gave one each to Nuwa, Houtu, and Xuanming.
When Nuwa saw the Yellow Middle Plum fruit that Bai Chen handed her, she roughly guessed why this lazy cat had brought Houtu and Xuanming to be her neighbors.
Chapter 70 Recruiting Bodyguards and Thugs!
Although Nuwa didn't know the true nature of the Yellow Middle Plum fruit, she was certain that it was most likely a stolen product of dubious origin.
Now this lazy cat is feeding itself and Xuanming Houtu this filth, trying to drag them Houtu with Xuanming.
No, I was already dragged into this mess when I drank the soup made by this lazy cat last time.
This lazy cat wanted to drag the Ancestral Witch Xuanming and Houtu. It made the two sisters set up camp near Phoenix Perch Mountain so that the Witch Clan would protect it.
This lazy cat is not only lazy, but also incredibly cunning; it's utterly wicked!
This Bad Cat looks fat, with a belly full of flesh, but in reality, it's full of evil and scheming!
Although Nuwa understood everything, she was still somewhat angry.
This lazy cat doesn't even believe in its own strength! It should know that Nuwa is Quasi-Saint in the early stages!
After Nuwa guessed the truth, she did not emphasize again that she had driven away the Ancestral Witch Xuanming and Houtu.
Nuwa believed that once the Ancestral Witch Xuanming Houtu saw through the true nature of this Bad Cat Bad Cat, she would no longer play with it.
In the blink of an eye, countless hours had passed when the golden bell of the Purple Cloud Palace rang out, its resounding sound echoing throughout the Primordial World.
"A thousand years from now, the Purple Cloud Palace will open its doors for lectures. All of you, come quickly to hear the teachings!"
After the sage Hongjun announced the start time of the second lecture at the Purple Cloud Palace, the Innate Great God of the Primordial World hurriedly prepared to listen to the teachings.
Because a large-scale theft occurred at the Daoist temple of the Innate Great God during a lecture at the Purple Cloud Palace, the Innate Great God cleaned up the temple before going to listen to the lecture this time.
They took everything they could, leaving nothing behind in the dojo except for traps, to prevent thieves from profiting from them.
Phoenix Perch Mountain Zu Fei Palace...
After receiving notification of the second lecture at the Purple Cloud Palace, Bai Chen has decided to attend.
Because in this second lecture, the sage Hongjun will preach the Three Thousand Laws and the Way of Quasi-Saint, Bai Chen is very interested in the Three Thousand Laws.
It went to listen to the teachings, intending to learn a more powerful law.
As for the Path to Quasi-Saint, Bai Chen estimated it to be the Method of Severing the Three Corpses.
Besides the content of the sage Hongjun's sermon, Bai Chen had other reasons for attending the sermon.
Bai Chen knew that because of the two Jieyin, Zhunti and Jieyin, he had definitely been suspected by those Innate Great God.
But those Innate Great God have no evidence. If he doesn't go to the Second Instruction of the Purple Cloud Palace, wouldn't that make him, Great God Bai Chen, look guilty?
Great God Bai Chen, is not a thief. Those things were all his own good fortune, and they were rightfully his. He was just asking those guys to keep them safe in advance.
Therefore, Bai Chen must attend the second lecture at the Purple Cloud Palace to tell those guys that he, the Great God Bai Chen, is not a thief, nor does he have any guilty conscience.
However, just in case, Bai Chen felt that Nuwa alone was not enough, and he needed to bring more bodyguards.
As for bodyguards?
Wouldn't the Twelve Ancestor Witches be a perfect match?
Without hesitation, Bai Chen left his Zu Fei Palace and went to the Witch Tribe outside Phoenix Perch Mountain to find Houtu and Xuanming.
Bai Chen has visited the Houtu and Xuanming tribes several times, and many Witch Clan know Bai Chen.
Soldier A: Look, a beast has entered the tribe!
Soldier B: That's the cat that the Ancestral Witch keeps, don't worry about it!
When Bai Chen arrived at the Witch Tribe, he saw the Xuanming Houtu sisters training the Witch Clan.
"Little White, what brings you here?"
Houtu was quite surprised by Bai Chen's arrival, as this lazy cat rarely left the Zu Fei Palace.
"Houtu and Xuanming, are you going to listen to the Dao?"
Bai Chen didn't try to hide his intentions and asked directly.
"I'm not going!"
"You gained nothing from the last sermon, so why go listen to it again?"
The Ancestral Witch Xuanming truthfully told Bai Chen that the Twelve Ancestor Witches had already discussed it and would not go to the sermon this time, nor would they go next time.
After all, their Ancestral Witch don't cultivate their primordial spirit; going to listen to the Dao is just a waste of time, as they can only use their spirit.
You'd be better off finding a place to sleep.
"Xuanming, Houtu, this great god has some grudges with 'a billion' of these guys."
"Since I'm going to listen to the sermon this time, they might target me."
Bai Chen played with its little paws; though it hadn't finished speaking, the meaning was already self-evident.
It just wanted the Ancestral Witch to accompany it to listen to the Dao, to act as its bodyguard and henchman.
At Bai Chen's prompting, Houtu understood what he meant and was about to agree when the Ancestral Witch Xuanming quickly stopped her.
The Ancestral Witch Xuanming lifted Bai Chen off Houtu's shoulders, looked him in the eye, and said:
"Lazy Cat, it's not that my sisters and I can't go with you to listen to the sermon, but..."
The Ancestral Witch Xuanming's tone suddenly changed, and he sneered:
"But you must tell us the secret you know, the secret of enlightenment."
The Ancestral Witch Xuanming had originally planned to find a time to get information out of Bai Chen.
Today, this Fat Cat has come to our doorstep on its own initiative, Ancestral Witch Xuanming naturally doesn't want to miss this opportunity.
Xuanming wanted to take this opportunity to uncover all the secrets hidden inside the Fat Cat's belly, and maybe even help the Fat Cat lose weight.
Bai Chen: Losing weight?
Xuanming, is your family's secret made of meat?
Bai Chen thought for a moment and said:
"Xuanming, I can tell you some secrets about the opportunity to attain enlightenment, but this time and next time, all Twelve Ancestor Witches must accompany me to listen to the Dao and protect me."
Bai Chen didn't mind telling the Ancestral Witch some more secrets about the opportunity to attain enlightenment, so that Houtu could prepare in advance and the Ancestral Witch could also Houtu a hand.
"I want it all!"
The Ancestral Witch Xuanming didn't want any part; she wanted everything.
"If I were to reveal everything, and you didn't contemplate it yourselves, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to attain enlightenment after hearing it all."
Bai Chen sneered. Hou Tu was able to attain Houtu mainly because she was compassionate and pitied the souls of all living beings in the Primordial World who had nowhere to go.
If it were to tell Houtu directly, the meaning would change, and Houtu's compassion might not be genuine.
Seeing that Bai Chen had said this, the Ancestral Witch Xuanming did not press the matter further.
"Xuanming, quickly go and inform the other Ancestral Witch to come to my Daoist temple and gather together to listen to the Dao."
"As for me, I will first preach to Houtu to help her comprehend some of the workings of creation."
After Bai Chen finished speaking, he flew back to Houtu's shoulder, tugged at Houtu's hair, and gestured for her to return to the Zu Fei Palace.
