It's said that meeting is fate. He absolutely wasn't talking to this girl just because she was pretty!
Anyway, he wasn't planning on leaving this small mountain anytime soon. Making a friend wouldn't hurt.
It's not like anyone who shows up is a mighty figure from the Primordial Era, right?
Then, Chen Sheng thought of the guy who impersonated Nuwa last time and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Looking at the petite and cute girl in front of him, and then at that arrogant guy, they were simply incomparable!
Houtu was stunned when Chen Sheng spoke, then she bowed and replied obediently, "I'm from the Witch Clan. I've come to the Human Race with my elder brother to pay a visit."
Chen Sheng nodded with a smile. This little girl was truly adorable. He wondered what her name was.
With that thought, Chen Sheng continued, "What's your name?"
Houtu didn't understand why Chen Sheng was pressing for her name, but she still truthfully replied, "My elder brother's name is Di Jiang, and my name is Houtu."
Houtu!?
Di Jiang!?
Chen Sheng couldn't help but look at Houtu with a strange expression, then he burst out laughing.
What was going on in the Primordial Era these days?
Did everyone just love impersonating mighty figures?
Weren't they afraid of being beaten to death?
Or was this some kind of tradition in the Primordial Era?
Whoever they admired, they'd claim to be them!?
This little girl's origins were so shallow, yet she claimed to be Houtu. Chen Sheng truly worried for her future travels in the Primordial Era!
Houtu, hearing Chen Sheng laugh, hesitated at first, then tilted her head and asked, "Fellow Daoist, what are you laughing at?"
Chen Sheng looked at Houtu's serious and well-behaved appearance and couldn't bear to expose her. He smiled and said, "It's nothing. May I call you Little Tu, girl?"
Houtu looked at Chen Sheng with some curiosity.
Little Tu, girl?
What kind of ridiculous name was that?
If the people of the Primordial Era knew that someone called Houtu, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, "Little Tu, girl," they'd probably laugh their teeth out!
Houtu couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with Chen Sheng's brain.
Seeing Houtu's lack of reaction, Chen Sheng took it as her default agreement.
Then, Chen Sheng poured Houtu a cup of tea and said earnestly, "A while ago, I encountered something interesting. A palace maid from Wa Huang Palace claimed to be Empress Nuwa and came to my cave dwelling, constantly pressuring me. In a fit of anger, I banished her to the River of Time."
"But don't worry, I won't banish you, because you're cuter than she was!"
Houtu: ...
How could Houtu not know what the River of Time was? Banishing someone to the River of Time, how was that possible?
That was something even Saints couldn't do, let alone someone at the Grand Unity realm like the person in front of her?
This guy's words were just too exaggerated!
Even Houtu, a good-natured girl, couldn't help but frown.
Chapter 21: Shocking Houtu, Nuwa Visits
Houtu was somewhat displeased with this boastful fellow.
She was about to get up and leave, but then she remembered she had come of her own accord, and leaving now would be impolite, so she didn't leave immediately.
Even though she didn't leave, Houtu was becoming somewhat impatient.
Chen Sheng didn't notice Houtu's expression. He pushed the cup of tea he had poured towards her and said, "Try it. This tea tastes alright, just lacks the freshness of spring."
Out of politeness, Houtu picked up the teacup and took a distracted sip.
But the moment the tea touched her lips, her whole body trembled, and her eyes were filled with shock!
"This tea!!"
Houtu felt her comprehension of laws instantly deepen. Many problems she hadn't understood before became clear at this moment!
This was simply unbelievable!
A mere cup of tea could deepen her understanding of laws!
One must know that laws are extremely important in the Primordial Era. There are three thousand Great Daos in the Primordial Era, and countless laws!
Cultivation before Grand Unity relies on spiritual energy, but after reaching Grand Unity, cultivation relies almost entirely on the comprehension of laws!
The Witch Clan, due to their innate deficiencies, were not strong in comprehending laws, but at this moment, Houtu felt as if she had received a divine revelation!
With this feeling, Houtu instantly drank all the tea.
The power of laws within Houtu's body reached its peak at this moment, with the essence of laws surging within her.
If one observed carefully, they might even find that Houtu was surrounded by laws!
