Chapter Twenty-Two: The Witch-Demon War, Both Sides Suffer Heavy Losses?

Chen Sheng understood that this was because Houtu had seen the River of Time for the first time and had let her guard down. Her mind had been affected by the power of time within the River of Time in an instant.

She only needed some time, and she would be fine.

Once she came to her senses, Houtu's face was filled with shock!

That really was the River of Time. Someone had actually managed to summon the River of Time. It was simply inconceivable!

Houtu was left rooted to the spot, unable to recover for a long time!

At that moment, a clear, cold female voice suddenly came from outside: "Fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist, Nuwa has come to visit. Please come out and see me."

Nuwa?

Chen Sheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said to Houtu, "Look, that maid from Wa Huang Palace who claims to be Nuwa has arrived."

Houtu was somewhat curious about who would dare impersonate Nuwa.

Chen Sheng said directly, "Just come on in."

Only after hearing Chen Sheng call for her did Nuwa hesitantly make her way up the mountain.

Houtu had initially thought that, just as Chen Sheng had said, the visitor was a maid from Wa Huang Palace.

So she was merely curious about where this little maid had come from and how she dared to boldly impersonate Empress Nuwa.

But the instant she saw Nuwa approaching with graceful steps, she was utterly stunned!

Where was this some little maid? Wasn't she Empress Nuwa of Wa Huang Palace herself?

Houtu sprang up from her stool and exclaimed, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa? How could it be you?"

Although the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan had been at odds for ages, Nuwa had always stayed out of the affairs between them. Thus, Houtu did not detest Nuwa as much as she detested the Demon Clan.

Nuwa was stunned as well. Who could have expected to run into Houtu here?

This was humiliating beyond words!

Nuwa wanted nothing more than to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it. But after glancing at Chen Sheng, she gritted her teeth and said with an odd expression, "I'm not Nuwa. You have mistaken me for someone else."

Houtu: ...???

If she wasn't Nuwa, then who was Nuwa?

What was wrong with this world?

Seeing Nuwa say that, Chen Sheng was extremely gratified.

He patted Nuwa on the shoulder in satisfaction and said, "Girl, that's more like it. Don't pretend to be a saint when there's nothing to do. You'll get yourself into trouble. I'm only doing this for your own good!"

Nuwa: ...

Houtu: ...

Afterward, Chen Sheng poured Nuwa a cup of tea as well and said with a smile, "Come, girl, have some tea. To recognize one's mistake and correct it is the greatest virtue! You could say we've gotten to know each other through a misunderstanding."

Nuwa was utterly speechless, but she did not dare say anything. She had already been humiliated beyond words today!

And now he wanted her to drink tea? What was so good about the tea on this little hillside?

She was a saint. What kind of tea had she never tasted?

Although she complained inwardly, Nuwa still sat down haughtily and took a disdainful, delicate sip.

Then Nuwa's pupils trembled violently!

She had just discovered that her comprehension of the laws had deepened considerably!

This tea actually contained the power of laws!

As a saint, how could Nuwa not know how difficult it was to cultivate the power of laws?

Yet at that very moment, she felt the power of laws within her reach an unprecedented level of abundance. It had even begun to surge and churn!

Nuwa stared dumbfoundedly at the cup of tea before her and exclaimed, "This tea?!"

Houtu had drunk it before, so she naturally knew what Nuwa had experienced!

When she had drunk the tea, her reaction had been even more intense than Nuwa's.

Thus, she looked at Nuwa meaningfully and said, "This fellow Daoist said that this kind of tea only works on those with low cultivation."

Nuwa: ????

My cultivation is low?

You've got to be kidding!

Nuwa was a saint, after all!

In this Primordial World, she was revered by all living beings, standing above everyone except one and below no one else!

And he actually said that her cultivation was low?

Nuwa was unconvinced!

However, Nuwa only dared to protest inwardly once or twice.
