Recruiting Bodyguards and Enforcers! (Continued)

I, the Great God Bai Chen, have never bullied any living being. I have always subdued gods with virtue and reason!

The group of Innate Great God were speechless: Bai Chen, your 'virtue' is actually the Heaven Measuring Ruler of Ruler of Merit!

Your 'reason' is the Hammer of Reason that slayed the physical body of the East Prince Gong!

Faced with Bai Chen's questioning, Yaochi replied irritably:

"Reporting to the Great God, Yaochi and Haotian were originally each responsible for one palace gate, but now Yaochi is responsible for two palace gates."

It's all the cat's fault. It insisted on freezing Haotian, making me do the work of two people.

After making myself work so hard, am I not allowed to have a little resentment?

"Forehead!"

Embarrassed, Bai Chen reached out her little paw and scratched her head to ease the awkwardness.

"Pfft!"

Nuwa, Xuanming, Houtu covered their mouths and couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing this.

This Bad Cat helped others without our permission, and now they don't appreciate your kindness.

Awkward, isn't it?

Serves you right!

Bai Chen took out a plum and handed it to Yaochi:

"Yaochi, this great deity invites you to have some fruit!"

Before Yaochi could react, Bai Chen stuffed the Yellow Middle Plum plum into Yaochi's mouth and into her stomach.

Bai Chen felt he had been too generous, actually giving Yaochi, this little girl, a Yellow Middle Plum. He hoped the girl would be worthy of his investment.

If this little girl is sensible, I Great God Bai Chen, wouldn't mind giving her a hand in the future.

If you don't know any better, hehe!

Then she wouldn't be a little girl anymore, but an ignorant ant.

!!!

Nuwa, Xuanming, and Houtu were immediately embarrassed when they saw Bai Chen stuffing the Yellow Middle Plum into Yaochi.

That Bad Cat is pretty bold!

How dare they take out stolen goods in the Purple Cloud Palace and even drag the Sage's gatekeeper into this mess?

Isn't this Bad Cat afraid of angering the sage Hongjun by doing such things?

"Great God Bai Chen, what kind of fruit is this?"

Yaochi could sense that as soon as the Yellow Middle Plum plum entered her stomach, a surge of spiritual energy coursed through her body, and her cultivation and magical power also increased.

"I picked it up, but as for what kind of fruit it is, I have no idea!"

Bai Chen did not reveal the details of Yellow Middle Plum. Although Queen Mother of the West had already suspected it, as long as it did not admit to having Yellow Middle Plum, then it did not have Yellow Middle Plum.

"Yaochi, has the Sage recently visited any places in the Great Luo Heaven?"

According to what Bai Chen knew, the Sage Hongjun had already placed the Treasure Distribution Rock before the three lectures began.

Therefore, Bai Chen wanted to find out the location of the Treasure Distribution Rock through Yaochi, so that he could pack up his own Treasure Distribution Rock and take it back with him.

"I don't know!"

Yaochi shook her head. As a mere gatekeeper, how would she know where the Sage Hongjun had been?

Seeing that he couldn't get any information about the whereabouts of the sage Hongjun, Bai Chen continued to press for details:

"Yaochi, have you sensed anything within the Great Luo Heaven?"

According to Bai Chen's knowledge, the Treasure Distribution Rock was a supreme treasure of the Heavenly Dao, crafted by the Sage Hongjun using Chaos Origin Stone, and was responsible for storing numerous spiritual treasures.

Yaochi and Haotian Yaoji, the brother and sister, were both formed from scraps and impurities of that Chaos Origin Stone, and are somewhat related to the Treasure Distribution Rock.

"No!"

Yaochi shook her head again, but her gaze drifted towards the east side of the Purple Cloud Palace.

There are some things Yaochi dares not say lightly, but since she ate Bai Chen's fruit, she can only give him some hints.

"Snort!"

Bai Chen snorted coldly, clearly displeased.

It suddenly flicked its fur, sending many hairs flying out and covering Yaochi in cat fur, some of which landed outside the Purple Cloud Palace.

After Bai Chen finished doing all this, he swaggered into the Purple Cloud Palace, with Nuwa and the Twelve Ancestor Witches quickly following behind.

"Hateful!"

After Bai Chen left, Yaochi began to groom herself by cleaning the cat hair off her body.

That Bad Cat is so awful! I gave it a hint, and it didn't even realize it.

As a result, he took his anger out on himself, teased himself, and ended up covered in cat hair.

Because the Sage Hongjun was expounding on the Primordial Unity Dao Method and the methods of attaining enlightenment, all the Innate Great God rushed to listen to his teachings immediately.

Whether they are Innate Deity or Innate Divine Beast, they all share a single obsession: to attain enlightenment!

Below the path to enlightenment, all are but ants.

Only by attaining enlightenment can one transcend the river of time, remain imperishable through countless eons, and endure forever with the Dao.

It possesses the ability to re- Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, to recreate heaven and earth, and to generate all things.

Innate Divine Beast and Innate Deity have cultivated for countless eons, all for the purpose of proving the Dao.

Now that the sage Hongjun is about to impart the method of attaining enlightenment, how could the Innate Deity and Innate Divine Beast not be excited? They all rushed to the Purple Cloud Palace without stopping.

Just as the Queen Mother of the West was about to cross the palace gate and enter the Purple Cloud Palace, she suddenly stopped, simply because she smelled a scent.

The Queen Mother of the West turned her gaze to the Yaochi and questioned it sternly:

"You smell like my Yellow Middle Plum plum?"

"Where did you get your Yellow Middle Plum plums?"

The Queen Mother of the West detected the scent of the Yellow Middle Plum Yellow Middle Plum, Innate Spiritual Root, on Yaochi, indicating that she had recently eaten the fruit but had not fully refined it.

"Great Queen Mother of the West, this junior does not know anything about the Yellow Middle Plum fruit, but a great goddess once gifted me one."

Yaochi wasn't stupid. Now that things had come to this, she knew perfectly well that the fruit Bai Chen had given her earlier was stolen goods.

Who is this Great God Bai Chen?

This is clearly a Bad Cat with dirty hands!

That Bad Cat went too far, actually giving me the stolen goods, causing me to incur the wrath of the Queen Mother of the West.

Who was that thief?

The Queen Mother of the West knew that Yaochi was not a thief because Yaochi's cultivation was too weak, and the other party did not possess innate energy, nor was he Innate Deity or divine beast.

Therefore, the other party is definitely not that innate master thief, but they must have had contact with that damned thief.

"Great Queen Mother of the West, this junior cannot speak of it!"

Faced with the Queen Mother of the West's questioning, Yaochi could only bite the bullet and answer, but she did not betray Bai Chen.

"Presumptuous!"

The Queen Mother of the West was furious, as she was about to have evidence to catch the real culprit.

Yet a mere gatekeeper in Yaochi dared to shield the real culprit and ruin his own grand plan.

Just as Yaochi was at a loss, Bai Chen's loud shout came from the main hall:

"Queen Mother of the West, how dare you!"

"Although this little girl has low cultivation and a poor background, and is merely a gatekeeper at a sage's academy, she is not someone a shrew like you, Queen Mother of the West, can bully."

Because Yaochi didn't betray Bai Chen, and because Great God Bai Chen, is loyal, he naturally wouldn't stand by and watch Yaochi be bullied by the Queen Mother of the West.

Yaochi: Bai Chen, it's all your fault, you Bad Cat, that I got questioned by the Queen Mother of the West.

Now you're mocking me for my low cultivation level and poor background? Is that appropriate?

After Bai Chen's rebuke, the Queen Mother of the West calmed down considerably.

Yaochi was indeed just a lowly gatekeeper, but the other party was, after all, the gatekeeper of the sage Hongjun!

The Queen Mother of the West saw that Bai Chen, the most suspicious person, had already come to listen to the teachings.

She probably guessed the truth again, so she went to the main hall to question Bai Chen:

"Thief Bai Chen, you gave her the Yellow Middle Plum plum, didn't you?"

The Queen Mother of the West dared to gamble on Bai Chen, who was that thief.

The Yellow Middle Plum plums from Yaochi must have been given to me by this Primordial World thief.

It must be said that the Queen Mother of the West's intuition was accurate; she directly guessed the truth.

"Queen Mother of the West, which of your dog eyes did you see that?"

Bai Chen's main strategy is simply to deny everything. He believes that as long as he doesn't admit anything, what can the other party do to him?

"Queen Mother of the West, do you know what the consequences will be for slandering this great goddess?"

Not only does Bai Chen now deny it, it's also trying to bite back at Queen Mother of the West.

After the sage Hongjun announced that Nuwa was the future Heavenly Dao Saint, even if she publicly acknowledged it, the Queen Mother of the West could only pretend not to hear it.

"Presumptuous!"

The Queen Mother of the West was furious. When did thieves become so arrogant?
