Nuwa Fellow Daoist, Quickly Find a Place for Us to Hide!

"Oh, this is quite embarrassing, but since Daoist friend is being so generous, I can't refuse."

Fuxi put on a look of surprise, as if just noticing the Spiritual Treasure in Zhunti's hand. He stepped forward, took it, and examined it closely before tucking it into his sleeve.

"???"

Zhunti was utterly bewildered. When did he ever say he was going to give it to him?

Before Zhunti could react, Fuxi enthusiastically grabbed his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely talk to this child and persuade him to join the West."

Shen Hongfei stared in shock at the unruffled Fuxi. My goodness, is this still that foolish uncle of mine?

Who taught him to be so shameless!

Zhunti's mouth twitched, and his heart bled. You took the Five Elements Pearl, what are we going to give this child!

He didn't believe that even if Fuxi gave him the Spiritual Treasure, Nuwa's son would change his mind. That brat was someone who wouldn't let go of something until he saw the reward!

Fuxi, however, paid no mind. Seeing the Peaches of Immortality on the table, his eyes lit up. More good food! He thought of how that brat guarded these things so closely, leaving him no chance to taste them. He couldn't help but step forward, pick one up, and stuff it into his mouth.

"Sister, you two chat, I'm leaving."

Seeing Fuxi leave, Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged glances, feeling something was off, though they couldn't quite place it.

"Uncles, didn't you say you prepared a gift for me just now?"

"What is it?"

A smile played on Shen Hongfei's lips as his innocent voice carried out.

Zhunti's heart trembled. Here it comes, I really have to bleed heavily!

Seeing the hesitation on Zhunti and Jieyin's faces, Shen Hongfei continued, "Uncles, you're not tricking me, are you?"

"Hmph, I don't like you anymore. You want me to become your disciple with empty hands?"

"Are you bullying me because I'm young and ignorant?"

Upon hearing this, Jieyin sighed softly and took out an item from his embrace. A thousand petals bloomed, emitting a faint Buddhist radiance.

"Child, this is the gift your uncle prepared for you!"

Shen Hongfei's eyes lit up. The West's supreme treasure, the Thousand Leaf Golden Lotus!

I can't believe they'd give this treasure to me. It seems they value me greatly.

Shen Hongfei's lips curved into a smile. This is probably the Western duo's last resort.

"Thank you, Uncle Jieyin."

"You are so kind to me, I will consider becoming your disciple!"

Excellent!

Zhunti was overjoyed. If this child truly joins my Western teachings, what are a mere one or two supreme treasures compared to that? His heartache lessened considerably.

"But I'll have to wait until I'm born!"

"Of course, of course!"

As long as you have the thought, that's enough!

Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged a look and decided to leave. Although they didn't know why Sanxiao hadn't informed Tongtian, this place was not suitable for lingering; delay could lead to unforeseen changes.

"Daoist Nuwa, this matter is concluded, so we shall take our leave."

"Uncle Zhunti, why are you leaving so soon?"

"Won't you stay and talk with me a bit longer?"

Having benefited, Shen Hongfei found the two much more agreeable and tried to detain them.

"Hongfei, don't be difficult, your uncles likely have matters to attend to."

Nuwa quickly intervened, then offered an apologetic smile to Zhunti and Jieyin, "I will see my fellow Daoists out."

After the two departed, Shen Hongfei immediately shouted in the direction of Fuxi's cave dwelling, "You useless uncle, get over here!"

"You brat, show some respect! I'm your uncle!"

Fuxi emerged from his cave dwelling with a dark expression, pulled the Five Elements Pearl from his sleeve, and tossed it over.

"Here!"

Seeing Nuwa catch the Five Elements Pearl, Fuxi felt a pang of heartache but had no choice. If this brat exposed this matter, those powerful beings would hate me to death!

Nuwa looked at her brother's displeased expression and shook her head. She took out the green pearl that Daoist Mu had gifted her earlier from her sleeve and tossed it to Fuxi, "Brother, here you go!"

"A mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Yimu Pearl!"

Fuxi looked at the pearl with surprise and delight. My sister truly cares about me. He glanced at Nuwa's slightly bulging belly, quickly put away the pearl, and headed back into his cave dwelling, fearing it might be taken back.

My heavens, you're too extravagant!

Shen Hongfei couldn't help but complain, then pouted. Never mind, I'll consider it charity for this poor excuse of an uncle, and it'll make Mom happy too.

Sanxiao also chuckled secretly. This young master is really so cute. If only he could stay here forever. They exchanged a look, their expressions firming with resolve.

Meanwhile, Zhunti and Jieyin were walking contentedly towards the foot of Mount Buzhou when they suddenly saw a young Daoist approaching them.

"Tongtian!"

Zhunti's expression changed, and he quickly pulled Jieyin to hide behind a nearby rock, peeking down.

Why would Tongtian come here? Did the Sanxiao sisters notify him?

No, that shouldn't be it. If the Sanxiao had notified him, then the Sanqing would have come together to settle accounts with the two of us!

Zhunti pondered, a strange glint flashing in his eyes. Could Tongtian have the same objective as us? If that's the case, then the Sanqing aren't united. Perhaps I can make a plan.

Seeing that Tongtian was approaching quickly, Zhunti put his thoughts aside, not wanting to encounter Tongtian. He glanced around but found no place to hide.

"Using magic at this distance will definitely alert Tongtian. It seems I can only return to fellow Daoist Nuwa's place for now."

Zhunti sighed slightly, pulling Jieyin and running back.

"Huh? What was that noise?"

Tongtian heard the commotion ahead and looked forward, finding nothing. He couldn't help but shake his head.

"I must be too sensitive. It's probably just some mountain spirits passing by."

"However, I need to pick up the pace!"

He remembered that he had come here without telling his Eldest Brother and Second Brother, fearing that delay might lead to complications. He began to speed up.

Zhunti and Jieyin sensed Tongtian speeding up behind them. Afraid of being caught, they quickened their pace, and soon arrived at Nuwa's small courtyard.

"Fellow Daoists, why have you returned?"

Nuwa was preparing to return to her cave dwelling for a short rest. Seeing Zhunti and Jieyin running back in a panic, frequently looking back as if avoiding someone, she asked curiously.

Upon seeing Nuwa, Zhunti's eyes lit up. Without bothering to cup his hands in greeting, he pulled Jieyin and ran over quickly.

"Tongtian is here!"

"Fellow Daoist Nu... Nuwa, quickly find a place for us to hide!"

Nuwa was startled by the news. "How did he get here?"

"Master is here?"

The Sanxiao also exclaimed in surprise, abandoning their spectator role. A hint of panic appeared on Yunxiao's usually serene face.

"We can't let Master see them!"

"Otherwise, he'll definitely blame us for not reporting this!"

Seeing the worried expressions on the Sanxiao sisters' faces, Nuwa remembered that this was all Bao Bao's idea. She couldn't let the Sanxiao sisters be punished, so she quickly said:

"Sanxiao, you sisters quickly take the two fellow Daoists into the cave dwelling to hide."

"Thank you, Madame!"

Yunxiao and her two sisters quickly pulled Zhunti and Jieyin into the cave dwelling. They looked around but found no place to hide and anxiously asked, "Senior two, can you use shapeshifting techniques?"
