Holding a Grudge

Chapter 41: Holding a Grudge

If Shen Gui knew what Qing Luan was thinking right now, he would definitely cry out in injustice.

I want to explain, but you never gave me the chance before, alright?

However, no matter what, that matter was in the past.

For Shen Gui, the most important thing was that Nuwa had let go of the past grievances.

This was undoubtedly good news.

This way, he wouldn't have to worry about Nuwa settling scores later.

Speaking of which, although Shen Gui felt that joining Nuwa's faction was like falling into a bottomless abyss, he was temporarily doing quite well under Nuwa.

Firstly, Nuwa's dojo, putting aside other things, the concentration of spiritual energy was incomparable to other places. Cultivating here would undoubtedly be much faster than in other places.

Secondly, since he was now considered one of Nuwa's people, just like Golden Phoenix and Qing Luan, he could seek Nuwa's help with any cultivation problems. Although Nuwa was sometimes unreliable, she was still a Quasi-Saint mighty being, and solving cultivation issues for a mere Golden Immortal was not difficult.

Finally, and the greatest benefit of staying with Nuwa, was listening to her preach.

All the great mighty beings in the Great Desolation basically gave sermons.

Giving sermons was both an opportunity for disciples and a way for mighty beings to consolidate their understanding of the Dao.

Nuwa was no different.

However, in the past, only Qing Luan and Golden Phoenix attended Nuwa's sermons. Now, Shen Gui would be joining them.

Even Shen Gui had to admit that such days were indeed quite good.

Especially since Nuwa had just finished listening to Hongjun's second lecture and was in a period of rapid transformation in both cultivation and realm. Therefore, Nuwa's sermons during this time were very frequent, which was an immense opportunity for Shen Gui.

Then, Golden Phoenix and Qing Luan once again witnessed what speed was.

Hongjun lectured three times, each lecture lasting three thousand years, with a three-thousand-year interval between them.

When Shen Gui emerged from seclusion, it was shortly after Hongjun's second lecture had concluded.

This meant there were still over two thousand years until Hongjun's third lecture.

And in these over two thousand years, Shen Gui, who had just broken through to the late Golden Immortal stage after seclusion, actually used Nuwa's sermons to first break through to the peak Golden Immortal stage, and finally, before Nuwa went to Purple霄 Palace to listen to Hongjun's third lecture, he broke through to the early Grand Unity Immortal stage.

Seeing Shen Gui's cultivation speed, Qing Luan couldn't help but feel like crying.

When she first met Shen Gui, he was only in the early Golden Immortal stage, while she was already in the late Golden Immortal stage.

Now, she had only recently broken through to the peak Golden Immortal stage, and Shen Gui was already an early Grand Unity Immortal?

She was a divine beast, and Qing Luan had transformed. Her innate talent was not weak even in the Great Desolation, so why was the gap still so large?

However, when she looked at Golden Phoenix, who was an early Grand Unity Immortal many years ago and was still an early Grand Unity Immortal now, Qing Luan felt more balanced.

It's not that we're too weak; it's just that this guy is too monstrous, right?

Nuwa also noticed Shen Gui's cultivation speed.

Regarding this, her evaluation of Shen Gui couldn't help but rise another notch.

It seems I've struck gold this time.

With such talent, it's not even inferior to our own, is it?

I just wonder what this little turtle's origins are.

Never mind that.

Nuwa naturally had to go listen to Hongjun's third lecture.

And before Nuwa left, Shen Gui received his first mission since arriving at Nuwa's place.

He was to choose a town in the myriad demon cities of the Central Continent and guard it for three thousand years.

Shen Gui was not surprised by this.

Although Fuxi usually arranged such matters, Nuwa also helped Fuxi share some of the burden.

After all, Qing Luan had guarded Qingluan City for a thousand years back then.

When Golden Phoenix returned the last time he emerged from seclusion, she had just finished a guarding period.

Since Qing Luan and Golden Phoenix had such tasks, he naturally could not avoid it.

However, the city Shen Gui was to guard this time was personally chosen by Nuwa.

It was a large city bordering Southern Jambudvipa.

Then, in addition to guarding that city, Nuwa gave Shen Gui an extra task.

Go to Southern Jambudvipa to stir up trouble and vent her anger.

As for why?

It was naturally because Southern Jambudvipa was the location of the Demon Country established by Di Jun and Tai Yi.

Nuwa had not forgotten that Di Jun and Tai Yi had stolen her gourd back then.

Do well, and you'll be rewarded when I return.

As for what would happen if he did a bad job, Nuwa didn't say, and Shen Gui didn't dare to think about it.

But no matter what, for his own safety, it seemed he could only apologize to the people of the Demon Country.

Anyway, Di Jun and Tai Yi were also off to listen to the Dao, so what else did he have to fear?

Besides, Shen Gui was quite looking forward to the reward promised by Nuwa, who was clearly at the level of a rich patron.

Therefore, after Nuwa left for the Purple Firmament Palace, Shen Gui bid farewell to Qing Luan and Golden Phoenix, and then set off.

However, after accepting Nuwa's mission, Shen Gui couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy for Di Jun and Tai Yi.

I mean, who else could they have provoked, but a woman?

And a woman who was destined to become a Saint.

Didn't they know that women are the most vengeful creatures?

Sigh, I won't say anything more, let's light some incense.
