Xuanxiao Likes to Stir Up Trouble

After some drinking, Xuanxiao's eyes suddenly lit up. "Demon Emperor," he said, "our Heavenly Court has a large population now, but our cultivation resources aren't very abundant."

Dijun's expression changed upon hearing this. "Could it be that the Xuan Emperor has thought of a good way to collect gifts?"

Xuanxiao nodded. "The method to increase our Heavenly Court's income should involve Empress Wa."

Nuwa looked confused and pointed to herself. "Me? A method to increase income? You don't mean you want me to fill the Heavenly Court's treasury with my own accumulated wealth, do you?"

Xuanxiao laughed heartily. "Just kidding! How could I let you fill it yourself? I've written it down on a jade slip. Would you like to take a look?"

Nuwa read the jade slip and felt greatly reassured. She said to Dijun, "Demon Emperor, you'll know later." With that, she vanished and went straight to the Moon Star.

On the Moon Star, Nuwa said with a solemn expression, "Where is the Lord of the Moon Star? Nuwa is here to visit. Please come out and meet me."

Not long after, Xihe appeared. "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, what brings you here?"

Nuwa chuckled. "Fellow Daoist Xihe, would you like me to introduce you to a Dao Companion? A very reliable one."

Xihe looked confused. "What? A Dao Companion? How can a mighty Quasi-Saint like you be doing this kind of work? Who are you planning to introduce me to?"

Nuwa smiled slyly. "Our Heavenly Court's Emperor still lacks an Empress. I wonder if the Lord of the Moon Star is interested?"

Xihe shook her head. "The Moon and the Sun are complementary, but the difference in our cultivation is too great. I always feel it's not quite suitable."

"Ding, Mission Issued: Help Nuwa complete the Heavenly Marriage. Xihe currently feels the cultivation gap between herself and Dijun is too large and is unwilling to be paired with Dijun. Solution: Find someone stronger than Dijun. Solution: The Lunar Demon God Wangshu. Xihe's previous life was a part of Wangshu's Primordial Spirit. Awaken her with Spirit Awakening Liquid to restore a portion of her former strength, making her an aid to the Heavenly Court." The System notified them at the opportune moment.

Upon hearing this, Xuanxiao immediately teleported to the Moon Star. "Fellow Daoist Xihe, please don't refuse. You and the Demon Emperor are a perfect match." With that, he took out a drop of Spirit Awakening Liquid and placed it on Xihe's forehead.

Not long after, a mist flashed around Xihe, and her aura surged. Xuanxiao quickly used the Chaos Bead to conceal the Heavenly Secrets. "Fellow Daoist Wangshu, shouldn't you rein it in a bit?"

Xihe opened her eyes. "I have now recovered my memories. My Primordial Spirit realm has recovered forty percent. Why should I undergo this Heavenly Marriage with Dijun?"

Xuanxiao laughed heartily. "Goddess Wangshu, do not be arrogant. Remember, you are still in the Primordial World. Although your Primordial Spirit has recovered considerably, your actual strength has not changed and remains at the Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal level. Hongjun has already Merged with the Dao. Aren't you afraid he will target you?"

Wangshu frowned. "Then will marrying Dijun not cause any problems?"

Xuanxiao nodded. "Naturally. Undergoing the Heavenly Marriage will earn great merit. From then on, you will be connected to the fate of the Primordial World and will not be rejected by the Heavenly Dao like the natives. Don't believe me? Look at me. My mother knocked my father unconscious and captured him with a single palm strike back then. I have Chaos energy on me, yet nothing happened, right?"

Wangshu nodded upon hearing this. "Then what if Dijun doesn't cooperate?"

Xuanxiao thought of his own birth again. "It shouldn't be difficult for you to suppress him with your Primordial Spirit power for a while, right? Just force it. As long as you conceive a Little Golden Crow, he wouldn't dare to abandon you. I and Taiyi will help you beat him."

Wangshu nodded firmly. "Alright, it's settled then. Today, whether he wants to or not, he will get married. Worst case scenario, I'll just use more of my Primordial Spirit power and force him to go through with the ceremony."

Afterward, Wangshu said to Nuwa, "I'll be waiting for you on the Moon Star, Fellow Daoist Nuwa. You talk to him first. If he doesn't agree, I'll go directly to Lingxiao Palace and take him by force, hmph ╰^╰. Remember, just say I am the Lunar Demon God Wangshu, and see if he agrees."
