Fuxi dragged Nuwa far away from Buzhou Mountain. When Nuwa glared at him furiously, he said sheepishly, "Little Sister, you know I'm not good at fighting..."
Nuwa was speechless. "What do we do now? We have to find somewhere to stay, don't we?"
Fuxi said, "I remember that some time ago, Dong Wanggong was played to death by the Witch Clan and the demons. The Immortal Court fell apart, and Penglai Island is now ownerless, so why don't we occupy it? What do you think?"
Nuwa nodded. "What else can we do? I suppose that's our only option..."
And so, Nuwa and Fuxi came to Penglai Island together and settled down. They had just finished establishing their cave abode when Xuanxiao said to Dijun, "Demon Emperor, we can make our preparations."
Dijun was speechless. "Preparations for what?"
Xuanxiao said, "Nuwa and Fuxi have already arrived at Penglai Island and established their cave abode. 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. "Then whether my Demon Court can grow stronger will depend on this trip by the Mystic Emperor."
Taiyi giggled. "I'll go with you."
Before long, Xuanxiao and Taiyi arrived on Penglai Island. Xuanxiao called out loudly, "Xuanxiao of the Demon Court has come to visit with my Dao Companion, Taiyi. May Fellow Daoists Nuwa and Fuxi come out to meet us?"
Fuxi laughed heartily. "The arrival of the Mystic Emperor has truly brought light to my humble abode."
Xuanxiao did not waste words. He went straight to the cave abode that the two had just finished arranging with Taiyi and said, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, we've come to deliver a great opportunity to you both."
Upon hearing this, Nuwa and Fuxi were stunned. "But... my sister and I aren't particularly close to the two of you. Why would you think of sending us a great opportunity?"
Xuanxiao nodded solemnly. "I've come today under the Demon Emperor's orders to invite you both to join the Demon Court and become its emperors. I hope you'll agree."
Fuxi looked at Xuanxiao and scratched his head. "My sister and I are used to living as carefree wanderers. We don't really want to join the Demon Court..."
Xuanxiao shook his head. "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, don't be so quick to refuse. Take a look. Do you know what this is?" As he spoke, he took out the River Diagram and Luo Shu. "Some time ago, I happened to notice that the diagram you drew on Buzhou Mountain seemed to have some profound connection with the River Diagram and Luo Shu. I specially borrowed them from the Demon Emperor so you could comprehend them."
Fuxi looked at the River Diagram and Luo Shu and laughed heartily. "With this opportunity, my Dao can be achieved!"
Xuanxiao, however, put the River Diagram and Luo Shu away. "You haven't even agreed to join my Demon Court. How can you comprehend our Demon Court's supreme treasures?"
Fuxi gave a sheepish smile and looked toward Nuwa. Nuwa stared at Xuanxiao in confusion. "What about me? You're using the River Diagram and Luo Shu to win over my Eldest Brother. Surely you didn't completely forget about winning me over too, did you?"
Xuanxiao scratched his head. "Of course not." Then he contacted the system in his mind. This is bad. I really forgot about Nuwa. What do I do?
Inside the system space, a mature beauty helplessly shook her head. "You brat, ε=(′ο｀*))) sigh. How could you forget such a stunning beauty? I have to worry about everything for you. Why don't you teach her to establish the Heavenly Marriage? One great merit should be enough. She was forced out of Buzhou Mountain by the Witch Clan this time, and she already wanted to find a faction so she could fight the Witch Clan later anyway..."
Their spiritual exchange contained thousands of words in an instant. Nuwa noticed nothing unusual and only heard Xuanxiao say, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, I have a way for you to obtain the merit within the Red Embroidered Ball and sever another corpse. How about it?"
Upon hearing this, Nuwa nodded. "If that's truly the case, then my brother and I can join the Demon Court."
Xuanxiao laughed heartily. "Don't worry. I won't trick you." After saying this, Xuanxiao took out four Ginseng Fruits and shared them with Fuxi and Nuwa. Fuxi also brought out quite a few of his treasured items. After a feast, the group flew together toward the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Dijun had already brought Kunpeng and the various demon sages to wait for them. As soon as the four landed, Dijun and the other demon experts cupped their hands and said, "We welcome the two great experts into our Demon Court."
Nuwa smiled lightly. "I wonder what position the Demon Emperor has prepared for me?"
Dijun laughed heartily. "Naturally, you will become an emperor of the demon race. Fellow Daoist Nuwa will receive the title Empress Wa, while Fellow Daoist Fuxi will receive the title Emperor Xi. How does that sound?"
Kunpeng immediately chimed in, "We welcome Empress Wa and Emperor Xi, the two demon emperors, into the Demon Court!"
The other demons shouted the same, so there was no need to elaborate. After the welcoming ceremony, the demon race began drinking, singing, and dancing.
Afterward, news spread throughout the Heavenly Court that Nuwa and Fuxi had joined the demon race's Heavenly Court and received the titles Empress Wa and Emperor Xi. This left the many Ancestral Witches in Pangu Hall filled with regret.
In Pangu Hall, Dijiang said, "If we'd known this would happen, we either shouldn't have driven those great experts away, or we should have eliminated them completely. Now look at us—we've given the demon race so many powerful allies. What a loss."
Jumang chuckled. "Actually, this is fine too, Eldest Brother. Otherwise, if the only people in the Demon Court who could exchange blows with us were Kunpeng, Dijun, Taiyi, and Xuanxiao, it would be far too boring..."
Zhurong, the battle maniac, thought the same way. When he heard Jumang voice his thoughts, he nodded repeatedly.
Dijiang looked at them helplessly and thought, The influence of baleful energy on the Witch Clan is truly severe. Of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, we actually have two blockheads. Then he looked toward his other younger brothers and sisters and discovered that only Zhu Jiuyin, Xuanming, and Houtu possessed even a semblance of wisdom. The rest of his siblings all radiated a clear, innocent stupidity. He immediately decided that they should hold fewer meetings in the future. After all, they never had any useful opinions anyway.
