Thinking of the identity of the person in the portrait, then looking at Shen Gui before her, Ao Xin was completely dumbfounded.
Because the person in Ao Guang's portrait had been none other than the current ruler of the Three Realms, the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court!
Dazed, Ao Xin no longer had the presence of mind to wonder why Nezha called His Majesty her godfather.
Under Nezha's astonished gaze, Ao Xin respectfully bowed down before Shen Gui. "This little dragon, Ao Xin, daughter of the Dragon King of the East Sea, pays respects to Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor."
"Oh?" Shen Gui looked at Ao Xin in surprise. "You recognize me?"
Since Shen Gui had not told her to rise, Ao Xin did not dare lift her head. She bowed obediently and replied, "In reply to Your Majesty, this little dragon was fortunate enough to see Your Majesty's portrait at Father King's place."
At this point, Nezha no longer knew what to say.
She looked at Ao Xin, then at Shen Gui, utterly baffled. "Godfather, aren't you The King? How did you become the Heavenly Emperor?"
Shen Gui smiled and motioned for Ao Xin to rise before saying to Nezha, "Is that a conflict? I am both the King of Great Shang and the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court."
Nezha tilted her head and thought about it. It did not seem contradictory.
After all, no one had ever said the Heavenly Emperor could not hold another position.
Then she suddenly grew excited. "Godfather, you're the Heavenly Emperor, and I'm your goddaughter. Doesn't that mean no one will dare provoke me?"
Shen Gui was somewhat speechless.
He had not expected this to be the first thing Nezha thought of after learning his identity.
He smacked Nezha twice on
