Fuxi dragged Nuwa far away from Buzhou Mountain. Met by Nuwa's angry glare, he sheepishly said, "Sister, you know I'm not good at fighting..."

Nuwa was speechless. "What do we do now? We siblings still need to find a place to stay, right?"

Fuxi said, "I remember a while ago, Dong Wanggong was killed by the Witch and Demon races. The Immortal Court scattered, and Penglai Island is now ownerless. Why don't we siblings take it over? What do you think?"

Nuwa nodded. "What else can we do? We can only do that..."

And so, Nuwa and Fuxi settled down on Penglai Island. As soon as they had finished creating their cave dwelling, Xuanxiao said to Dijun, "Demon Emperor, we can start preparing."

Dijun was speechless. "Preparing for what?"

Xuanxiao said, "Nuwa and Fuxi have already arrived at Penglai Island and are establishing their cave dwelling. I'll use the River Diagram and Luo Shu to lure them to the Heavenly Court."

Dijun nodded, took out the River Diagram and Luo Shu, and handed them to Xuanxiao. "In that case, whether my Demon Court can grow stronger depends on this trip for the Xuan Emperor."

Taiyi chuckled and said, "I'll go with you."

Not long after, Xuanxiao and Taiyi arrived at Penglai Island. Xuanxiao announced loudly, "Xuanxiao of the Demon Court, accompanied by my Dao Companion Taiyi, has come to visit. We request that Dao Friends Nuwa and Fuxi come out to meet us."

Fuxi laughed heartily. "The Xuan Emperor's visit brings glory to my humble abode."

Xuanxiao didn't waste words. He went directly with Taiyi to the cave dwelling they had just set up and said, "Dao Friend Fuxi, we have come to bring benefits to you both."

Hearing this, Nuwa and Fuxi were stunned. "This... My brother and I are not particularly familiar with you two. Why would you think of bringing us benefits?"

Xuanxiao nodded with a serious expression. "We have come today on the orders of the Demon Emperor to invite you both to join the Demon Court as Emperors. We hope you will agree."

Fuxi looked at Xuanxiao and scratched his head. "My brother and I are accustomed to a carefree life and don't really want to join the Demon Court..."

Xuanxiao shook his head. "Dao Friend Fuxi, don't speak too soon. Look at this." Saying this, he took out the River Diagram and Luo Shu. "A while ago, I unintentionally saw a drawing Fuxi made on Buzhou Mountain that seemed to have some mysterious connection to the River Diagram and Luo Shu. I specifically borrowed it from the Demon Emperor for you to comprehend."

Fuxi looked at the River Diagram and Luo Shu and laughed heartily. "With this fortune, my Dao can be achieved."

Xuanxiao, however, took back the River Diagram and Luo Shu. "If you don't agree to join my Demon Court, how can you comprehend my Demon Court's supreme treasure?"

Fuxi gave a sheepish smile and looked at Nuwa. Nuwa looked at Xuanxiao doubtfully. "What about me? You're luring my elder brother with the River Diagram and Luo Shu, but you wouldn't have completely forgotten about luring me, would you?"

Xuanxiao scratched his head. "Of course, there is." Then, he mentally contacted the System. 'It's over, I really forgot about Nuwa. What should I do?'

In the System space, a mature woman shook her head speechlessly. "You brat, ε=(′ο`*))) Alas, you can forget such a beauty. I have to worry about you. Why don't you teach her to establish the Heavenly Marriage? A great merit will be enough. She was forced out of Buzhou Mountain by the Witch Clan this time, and she was already looking for a force to fight the Witch Clan with..."

Through their Primordial Spirit communication, thousands of words were exchanged in an instant. Nuwa didn't notice anything amiss. Xuanxiao then said, "Dao Friend Nuwa, I have a way to allow you to gain merit from the Red Embroidered Ball and cut one of your corpses. How about it?"

Nuwa heard this and nodded. "If that's truly the case, then our brother and sister can join the Demon Court."

Xuanxiao laughed heartily. "Don't worry, I won't trick you." With that, Xuanxiao took out four Ginseng Fruits and shared them with Fuxi and Nuwa. Fuxi also brought out many of his own treasures. After a feast, they all flew towards the Thirty-Three Heavens together.

Dijun had already brought Kunpeng and various Demon Sages to wait. As soon as the four of them landed, Dijun and the other great powers of the Demon Race cupped their hands together and said, "We welcome the two great powers into our Demon Court."

Nuwa chuckled lightly. "May I ask what position the Demon Emperor intends to arrange for me?"

Dijun laughed heartily. "Naturally, you will be an Emperor of the Demon Race. Dao Friend Nuwa will be titled Empress Wa, and Dao Friend Fuxi will be titled Emperor Xi. How about it?"

Kunpeng immediately chimed in, "Welcome Empress Wa and Emperor Xi, the two Demon Emperors, to the Demon Court!"

The rest of the demons also shouted in unison, and there's no need to elaborate further. After a round of welcome, the Demon Race began to sing, dance, and drink merrily.

Afterward, news spread throughout the Heavenly Court that Nuwa and Fuxi had joined the Demon Race's Heavenly Court and were conferred the titles of Empress Wa and Emperor Xi, causing the Ancestral Witches in Pangu Hall to regret their actions immensely.

In Pangu Hall, Dijiang said, "If we had known, we should have either not driven away those great powers, or we should have completely annihilated them. Now look, we've given so many experts to the Demon Race. What a loss."

Jumang chuckled and said, "Actually, it's good this way. Brother, if only Kunpeng, Dijun, Taiyi, and Xuanxiao could fight us in the Demon Court, it would be too boring..."

Zhurong, the battle-loving individual, thought the same. Hearing Jumang voice his thoughts, he nodded repeatedly.

Dijiang looked at them with a helpless expression, thinking, 'The influence of the malevolent aura entering their brains is truly severe on our Witch Clan. Among my Twelve Ancestral Witches, there are actually two such simpletons.' He then looked at his other brothers and sisters and found that only Zhu Jiuyin, Xuanming, and Houtu possessed a semblance of intelligence. The other brothers also revealed a clear foolishness, and he instantly decided to hold fewer meetings in the future, as they wouldn't have any good suggestions anyway.
