"We can consider it."
"Really?"
Zhen Yuanzi was overjoyed upon hearing this. Although he didn't receive a definitive answer, having this intention was enough.
Zhunti, Tongtian, and Jieyin, hidden beneath the bed, exchanged glances, their faces filled with annoyance. So, this brat treats everyone the same!
Just then, two golden streaks of light appeared in the sky, rapidly approaching Mount Buzhou. The scorching heat wave could be felt from afar.
"Di Jun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi!"
Zhen Yuanzi's expression changed. He quickly grabbed Hongyun, preparing to leave. They couldn't let these two see them, or there would be trouble.
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, Di Jun and Taiyi have come to pay their respects."
Unfortunately, it was too late. Accompanied by a hearty voice, the two golden lights landed in the courtyard, revealing Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
Zhen Yuanzi was extremely anxious. How could they get out now? He looked around, trying to find a place to hide.
"Uncle Zhen Yuanzi, you can hide under my mommy's bed."
Shen Hongfei chuckled playfully, his voice sounding innocent.
That brat!
The three beneath the bed cursed him inwardly. Once this child was born, they would have to teach him a good lesson.
"Thank you!"
Zhen Yuanzi was overjoyed and, after thanking him, quickly pulled Hongyun and ran over.
Rustle!
Zhen Yuanzi pulled aside the curtain and saw an edge of clothing in the gap under the stone bed. His excited expression froze. There was someone underneath!
Zhen Yuanzi quickly lowered his head and saw Tongtian, whose face was ashen, and Zhunti, who was clinging tightly to him. His heart sank. It's over, why are they here?
Hongyun, on the other hand, looked at the three with curiosity. "Fellow Daoists, what are you doing here?"
Tongtian and the other two looked embarrassed. "Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, Fellow Daoist Hongyun, long time no see!"
Pfft!
Sanxiao couldn't help but laugh, but when they saw Tongtian's gaze sweep over them, they quickly stopped, their little faces turning red from holding back.
Hahaha, this is too funny.
Shen Hongfei burst into laughter, staring intently at the side of the stone bed. He wondered how they would hide and was very excited. "Uncles, Uncle Di Jun and the others are coming in, aren't you going to hide?"
Zhen Yuanzi was startled and, disregarding everything else, quickly lay down to hide.
"Don't come in, there's no room!"
The three hurriedly stopped them. They were already squeezed in, and if two more came, they would be deformed. Tongtian quickly pushed Zhen Yuanzi back out.
Zhen Yuanzi had no choice but to find somewhere else. Seeing the space under the stone table, his eyes lit up. He casually pulled down a curtain from the side and walked over.
"Zhen Yuanzi, give me back my curtain!"
Zhen Yuanzi acted as if he couldn't hear, covering the stone table with the curtain, concealing the space underneath. He then pulled Hongyun and hid inside.
Seeing that one side of the curtain was missing, Tongtian's body was no longer fully covered. His expression darkened further, and he forcibly moved deeper inside.
Jieyin's face was squeezed into a distorted shape, but seeing that Nuwa had already gone out, he estimated that Di Jun would be coming in soon and could only endure it without retaliating.
Shen Hongfei's face twitched as he watched this scene. This is my mommy's curtain, what right does Zhen Yuanzi have to tear it down! I'll definitely find a way to get it back later! Shen Hongfei thought to himself. Seeing that there was no more entertainment, he lost interest and looked towards Di Jun and the other one, wondering what treasures he would receive this time.
As the leader of the demon race, Di Jun's faction, although not yet as vast as it would be in later generations, should still have plenty of good things.
"Greetings to you two, fellow Daoists!"
Nuwa walked out of the cave abode, bowed to the two, and asked, "Are you two also here for my child?"
"Yes and no!"
A ripple flashed in Di Jun's golden eyes. He exchanged a glance with Taiyi and said with a bright smile, "My brother and I are here for you!"
"For me?"
Nuwa's beautiful eyes widened. She pointed to herself with her delicate hand, surprised.
She had always stayed on Fengqi Mountain and had not interacted with Di Jun and the other. Why would they suddenly seek her out?
Could it be about the gourd spiritual root from a hundred years ago?
Nuwa looked at the gourd pond in the courtyard, her heart in a panic. What should she do!
Zhen Yuanzi, Tongtian, Zhunti, and the others inside the cave abode were startled to hear that Di Jun was here for Nuwa. Di Jun and the other two's goals were different from theirs. If they knew their intentions, wouldn't they be in trouble!
No, they absolutely could not let the two see them. They all held their breath. Tongtian even tried to shrink back with all his might. The two from the West dared not retaliate and could only embrace each other more tightly in their misery!
Putting aside their thoughts, Shen Hongfei sensed his mother's gaze from within his belly and instantly understood her thoughts. He found it amusing. If Di Jun regretted giving up the gourd spiritual root back then, he would have come to claim it long ago, not now. His mother was truly quite slow-witted.
Di Jun and the other two's arrival today, if he guessed correctly, was to try and win over his mother to join the demon race!
Thinking of this, Shen Hongfei felt a bit of a headache. The Lich Great Tribulation was a minefield; if handled poorly, it could lead to eternal damnation. Although his mother would become a Saint, she wouldn't be in any danger.
But as the Saint Mother of the Human Race, a dignified Saint, she would later be confined in the chaos and not emerge. She would definitely be implicated by the karma from the Lich War!
No, he couldn't let his mother join the demon race!
Shen Hongfei looked at Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi outside, a smirk playing on his lips. "Uncle Di Jun, you came to see Mother, but not me."
"Do you not like me anymore?"
When Di Jun heard Shen Hongfei had come out, a smile flashed in his eyes. This child seemed to have had a good impression of me before, otherwise, he wouldn't have said this. He quickly replied, "How could that be? I can't possibly like you enough!
"As it happens, Uncle brought a gift for you too!"
As Di Jun spoke, he glanced at Taiyi and nodded slightly.
Taiyi received the signal from his Eldest Brother, waved his hand, and a ripple appeared in space. Spiritual energy surged, and brilliant treasure light shone out, illuminating the courtyard until it was resplendent. Ten shimmering Spiritual Treasures appeared in the air, slowly rotating.
Shen Hongfei looked over and directly ignored the six Innate Spiritual Treasures that looked extraordinary. He focused on the remaining four: a small sapling, which looked like an Innate Spiritual Root, and a small flame that contained the dense aura of the Great Sun. A thought struck him, Could this be the True Sun Fire?
Di Jun truly lived up to his reputation as the leader of the demon race; he was much more generous than others!
Shen Hongfei then looked at the jade slip on the side and a stone shimmering with five-colored light. Another thought, Could this stone be the Sky-Mending Stone?
Thinking of this, Shen Hongfei couldn't help but speak out, "Uncle Di Jun, what are that jade slip and the beautiful stone?"
Di Jun's spirits lifted. It seemed this child really liked these treasures, or he wouldn't have asked. He immediately said, "This jade slip records my divine ability, the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow Technique, which allows me to travel twelve thousand miles in an instant."
"As for this five-colored stone..."
Di Jun's tone grew serious, and he looked at Taiyi. What is this thing?
Taiyi saw his Eldest Brother's gaze and shook his head. This stone was just something he saw in the treasury; he thought it was pretty, so he grabbed it. He didn't know its function.
Seeing the expressions of Di Jun and Taiyi, Shen Hongfei found it amusing. Knowing they likely didn't know the stone's function either, he didn't press further. "Thank you, Uncle. I like them very much!"
"Mother, Uncle and his brother have been waiting at the door for a long time. Let them in!"
