This Kid Is Truly a Little Money Grubber

"Wah..."

"Dao Ancestor Hongjun, someone is trying to steal from my unborn child, hurry and do justice for me!"

Shen Hongfei didn't listen, crying loudly. Zhunti's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, This little brat is really troublesome!

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Zhunti and Jieyin didn't want to displease Shen Hongfei, as they still hoped to take him as a disciple.

"Child, uncle won't take your things anymore. Please stop crying!"

Zhunti coaxed him for a while before Shen Hongfei finally stopped. He reluctantly looked at the gourd spiritual root, knowing that he wouldn't gain anything today. He then intended to leave. He pulled Jieyin, bowed, and they departed.

Shen Hongfei saw the direction they left was not towards the West. After a moment's thought, he understood. They were definitely unwilling to return empty-handed and planned to ransack the East before going back. He cursed them inwardly for their shamelessness!

In an instant, only Hongyun, Styx, and Zhen Yuanzi remained in the field. Facing the gazes of Sanqing and Nuwa, Hongyun's face turned slightly red with shame.

Zhen Yuanzi sighed softly, took a step forward, and cupped his hands. "Since that is the case, my companion and I shall also take our leave." With that, he pulled Hongyun and they vanished.

The Primordial Heavenly Lord nodded slightly, his eyes showing kindness.

The Styx, seeing everyone leave, was unwilling, but dared not act. He also stepped forward, cupped his hands in a salute, and left Mount Buzhou.

Nuwa watched everyone depart, feeling as though she were dreaming. Were all these things hers for her baby?

Fuxi also showed a look of joy. Even though he disliked Shen Hongfei, he couldn't help but praise him now.

"He hasn't even been born yet, so these things are useless to him. I'll keep them all safe and give him one or two when he's born."

"Hahaha!"

Fuxi shouted inwardly, his joy evident on his face. Shen Hongfei couldn't help but curl his lips. His uncle was truly naive, showing all his emotions. He shook his head and ignored him, urging Nuwa to collect the treasures.

"Mother, quickly collect them. Don't forget to pull up the vines too."

"We can take them back and plant them on Fengqi Mountain."

Nuwa glanced at Sanqing, her face flushing slightly. She walked gracefully towards the Gourd Vine, preparing to collect it.

Seeing this, Fuxi also happily stepped forward and said to Nuwa, "Sister, you are pregnant, how can I let you do this labor? Let your brother do it for you." As he spoke, he pulled Nuwa aside, preparing to pick the gourds.

"Wah!"

"Uncle is stealing from his nephew and sister!"

"Why is our fate so bitter? A bad person wanted to steal my treasure, and now my uncle wants to steal my things too."

Fuxi's face darkened. "You brat, what nonsense are you spouting? How am I stealing your things!"

"Mount Buzhou is also my dojo, these are my family's things!"

The Primordial Heavenly Lord saw Fuxi scolding his precious disciple. Being naturally protective, he couldn't help but step forward and stand in front of Fuxi.

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, don't even think about stealing my disciple's things!"

"Even if you are his uncle, without his consent, you can forget about these items!"

Shen Hongfei saw the Primordial Heavenly Lord's overbearing demeanor and the strong protective tone in his voice. He couldn't help but develop a good impression of him, despite his poor reputation in legends from his past life.

Shen Hongfei didn't care about all that. He remembered those who treated him well.

"You..."

Fuxi trembled with anger, wanting to lash out but lacking the courage. In the end, he fiercely flicked his sleeves and left, sparing himself from being mocked by that brat.

Nuwa saw her brother leave in a huff, her eyes filled with sadness. Her brother and nephew were her only two relatives in the world. When would they stop quarreling?

Shen Hongfei sensed Nuwa's low spirits and sighed. If possible, he didn't want to make Nuwa feel troubled, but Fuxi had always disliked him. At first, he even wanted to abort him. This incident couldn't just be let go.

Shen Hongfei knew he couldn't do it. He wasn't a generous person by nature. Moreover, if he backed down, Fuxi wouldn't be grateful or treat him well; instead, he would think Shen Hongfei was easy to bully and become even more presumptuous.

"Mother, no one is snatching our things anymore. Go ahead and pick them."

Shen Hongfei stopped thinking and said to Nuwa, trying to distract her.

Hearing her baby's words, Nuwa collected her emotions and approached the Gourd Vine. She was captivated by the beautiful patterns on the seven-colored gourds. Thinking that they were all hers now, she was also happy. If these gourds were hung in her cave dwelling as decorations, they would surely look beautiful.

"Mother, don't forget to take this vine too. These are all our things."

"And those two leaves, don't drop them, they're both good stuff."

"Mother, don't throw away this soil. We can plant things with it when we get back."

Shen Hongfei saw Nuwa uncovering the soil at the base of the Gourd Vine's roots and quickly stopped her. Joking! This is the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, containing infinite vitality and capable of growing spiritual roots. My mother will also need this to create humans. We must take all of it.

Seeing Shen Hongfei practically wanting Nuwa to dig three feet deep and move the entire area, Sanqing's faces twitched. They inwardly cursed this kid for being such a miser.

Soon, under Shen Hongfei's command, Nuwa packed everything up, leaving a deep pit. She looked up and met Sanqing's strange gazes, her face flushing slightly with embarrassment.

Nuwa lowered her head, gently wiped the dirt from her hands, and walked forward gracefully, cupping her hands. "Thank you, three fellow Daoists."

"It is the will of heaven, Fellow Daoist Nuwa need not be so formal."

Laozi's eyes flickered slightly as he spoke slowly.

"Elder Brother is absolutely right. Since these items grew on Mount Buzhou, they rightfully belong to you, Fellow Daoist."

Tongtian smiled leisurely, then pulled the Sanxiao Fairies, who were curiously looking around behind him, to his front.

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, these are my disciples whom I took in while traveling through the Great Wilderness, passing by the East Sea. They are Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao, respectively."

The Sanxiao Fairies, hearing this, bowed respectfully to Nuwa with clasped hands, their voices ringing out in unison, "Greetings, Senior Nuwa!"

Nuwa observed the Sanxiao Fairies for a long time, her eyes showing delight as she was drawn to their extraordinary presence.

Shen Hongfei also appraised them secretly. He had noticed the Sanxiao Fairies earlier and had formed a suspicion. Now, seeing their visages, he couldn't help but sigh, thinking, They truly are the three fairies who would later shine brightly in the Investiture of the Gods. Even now, just after their transformation, they are so beautiful. Although they still appear somewhat tender, like young maidens of sixteen, their extraordinary nature is already evident.

What a pity about their fate, following that crude Tongtian. They didn't receive special attention, and in the end, he only made them outer disciples. During the Investiture of the Gods, the shameless Primordial Heavenly Lord, using his power to bully the weak, caused their demise. Although they were later deified, the Sanxiao Fairies of that time were no longer the same.

Shen Hongfei thought of this with a touch of regret. Such beautiful girls. Instead of being with the neglected Tongtian, it would be better to keep them by my side and nurture them well. Perhaps then they could escape their tragic destiny.

"Rise quickly."

Without dwelling on Shen Hongfei's regrets, Nuwa was very pleased with the Sanxiao Fairies. She raised her hand, sending out a stream of spiritual energy to help them up.

"Thank you, Senior Nuwa."

The Sanxiao Fairies clasped their hands in thanks and retreated to the side. Yunxiao and Qiongxiao lowered their heads, utterly demure. Only Bixiao secretly glanced at Nuwa's belly, her bright eyes flashing with a spark of light, as if she had discovered something delightful.
