Chapter Twenty-One: Houtu Shocked, Nuwa Comes Calling

They say every meeting is fated, and he definitely hadn't struck up a conversation just because this girl was pretty!

He wasn't going to leave the vicinity of the little mountain anytime soon anyway. Making a friend was no big deal.

Surely not everyone who came along could be a great power of the Primordial World, right?

Then Chen Sheng thought of the person who had pretended to be Nuwa last time, and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Looking at the petite, adorable girl before him, then thinking of that arrogant fellow, there was simply no comparison!

When Houtu heard Chen Sheng's question, she froze for a moment. Then she bowed and obediently replied, "I am from the Witch Clan. I came to the Human Race this time with my elder brother to pay our respects to the Human Race."

Chen Sheng nodded with a beaming smile. This little girl was truly adorable. He just didn't know what her name was.

Thinking of this, Chen Sheng continued asking, "Then what is your name?"

Houtu didn't understand why Chen Sheng kept asking about her name, but she still answered honestly, "My elder brother is Di Jiang, and my name is Houtu."

Houtu!?

Di Jiang!?

Chen Sheng couldn't help looking Houtu over with a strange expression. Then he couldn't help bursting out laughing.

What was going on with the Primordial World these days?

Did everyone like pretending to be great powers so much?

Weren't they afraid of being beaten to death?

Or was this some kind of tradition in the Primordial World?

If you admired someone, you claimed to be that person!?

This girl's bloodline was so shallow, yet she claimed to be Houtu. Chen Sheng was genuinely worried about this girl traveling through the Primordial World in the future!

When Houtu heard Chen Sheng laughing, she hesitated for a moment before tilting her head and asking, "Daoist friend, what are you laughing at?"

Looking at Houtu's serious yet obedient appearance, Chen Sheng couldn't bear to expose her, so he smiled and said, "Nothing. May I call you Little Earth Girl?"

Houtu glanced at Chen Sheng strangely twice.

Little Earth Girl?

What kind of ridiculous name was that?

If everyone in the Primordial World found out that someone had called one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Houtu, Little Earth Girl, they would probably laugh themselves to death, wouldn't they?

At that moment, Houtu couldn't help suspecting that something was wrong with Chen Sheng's head.

When Houtu gave no response, Chen Sheng simply took it as her tacit agreement.

Afterward, Chen Sheng poured Houtu a cup of tea and said solemnly, "Some time ago, I encountered something interesting. A palace maid from Wa Huang Palace claimed to be Empress Nuwa, then came to my Cave Abode and kept putting on airs before me. In a fit of anger, I banished her into the River of Time."

"But don't worry. I won't banish you, because you're cuter than she is!"

Houtu: ...

How could Houtu possibly not know what the River of Time was? How could someone be banished into the River of Time?

That was something even a Saint couldn't accomplish, let alone this fellow before her, who was merely at the Grand Unity Realm.

This fellow's words were far too exaggerated!

Even a good-tempered girl like Houtu couldn't help frowning.

Chapter Twenty-One: Houtu Shocked, Nuwa Comes Calling

Houtu was somewhat displeased with this boastful fellow.

She was just about to get up and leave, but then remembered that she had come of her own accord. Leaving like this would be rude, so she didn't depart immediately.

Although she didn't leave right away, Houtu was growing somewhat impatient.

Chen Sheng failed to notice Houtu's expression. He pushed the cup of tea he had just poured toward her and said, "Have a taste. This tea is pretty good, though it lacks the fragrance of spring."

Out of politeness, Houtu picked up the teacup and took an absentminded sip.

But the instant the tea entered her mouth, her whole body trembled, and her eyes filled with shock!

"This tea!!"

Houtu felt her comprehension of the laws deepen instantly. Many questions she hadn't understood before suddenly became easy at that moment!

This was unbelievable!

A mere cup of tea could actually deepen her comprehension of the laws!

One had to know that laws were extremely important in the Primordial World. Within it were the three thousand Great Dao and countless laws!

Before reaching Grand Unity, cultivation relied on Spiritual Power. But after reaching Grand Unity, cultivation relied almost entirely on one's comprehension of the laws!

Because of their innate shortcomings, the Witch Clan was not strong in comprehending laws. Yet Houtu now felt as if enlightenment had been poured directly into her mind!

With that feeling, Houtu instantly drank all the tea.

The power of the laws within Houtu's body reached its peak at that moment, the force of the laws surging within her.

If someone observed carefully, they might even discover that Houtu's entire body was surrounded by laws!
