Shen Hongfei watched Sanxiao laugh heartily and shook his head. These three sisters seemed to have been cooped up for too long. Besides, no matter how poorly Tongtian and the others performed, they weren't people Sanxiao could mock.
However, Tongtian and the others had visited today, and many powerful figures had come before. It was unlikely anyone would come again in the short term.
As Shen Hongfei thought this, he saw Nuwa's tired face and his heart ached. It was good, his mother could finally rest quietly.
With that thought, Shen Hongfei said to the still-laughing Sanxiao, "Third sisters, please tidy up the cave dwelling so Mother can get some rest."
"Okay!"
Sanxiao suddenly remembered Nuwa was still there and quickly stopped laughing, agreeing. Bixiao stuck out her tongue and followed her two sisters to tidy up.
Seeing Sanxiao's cheerful demeanor, Shen Hongfei felt amused. With them around, Fengqi Mountain had become much more enjoyable, strengthening his resolve to let them stay.
Soon, the cave dwelling was completely renovated. New curtains were hung beside the stone bed, and Sanxiao bowed and retreated.
"Mother, quickly lie down. You must be exhausted these past few days."
"Mmm."
Nuwa nodded, her pregnant belly protruding as she lay on the stone bed. She gently stroked her belly, a trace of happiness on her face. It was truly wonderful to have a baby who cared so much for her.
Nuwa smiled sweetly. Thinking about how her child spoke the same words to everyone, never revealing his true thoughts, she curiously asked, "Hongfei, all these powerful figures want to take you as their disciple now. Who will you choose?"
"I won't choose anyone. They are not even as good as you, Mother. How can they be my master?"
"If they want to take me as their disciple, they must be more powerful than you first."
"You, oh you..."
Nuwa smiled dotingly, then her brow furrowed with worry as she thought of Fuxi joining the demon race. "Hongfei, I see ambition in Di Jun, just like your father, Ancestral Dragon, back then."
"Your uncle has joined the demon race, and he will inevitably be entangled in karma. If you're not careful, won't that..."
Here it comes!
Shen Hongfei comforted her, "Mother, please don't worry. Uncle is not a child anymore. You don't need to worry about him."
"Uncle Di Jun and the others are all at the peak of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal mid-stage. Besides Mother and Uncle Laozi, there are few who can match them."
"Does Mother intend to take action against them?"
"No!"
Nuwa shook her head, her worries easing slightly. A wave of drowsiness washed over her, and she turned to close her eyes and rest.
Alas!
Shen Hongfei sighed softly. Fortunately, his mother was simple-minded and didn't probe further. However, he hadn't exactly lied to her. The Primordial World had already undergone a slight change because of his arrival, and he didn't know how things would unfold.
As he pondered this, Shen Hongfei fell into thought. The lectures at Zixiao Palace were over, and the demon race was about to enter a period of rapid development. The Primordial World was going to be in turmoil.
Although his mother had taken the lead, achieving the late Grand Luo stage first, and various powerful figures held good impressions of him.
But it wasn't enough. Shen Hongfei saw things clearly. As long as the stakes were high enough, these people could accept you as a disciple today and try to kill you tomorrow.
Fortunately, he possessed the Womb Sign-in System. As long as he kept signing in, he could become stronger. As long as he was strong enough, these things wouldn't be a problem.
"Sign in!"
Shen Hongfei clarified his path forward and then called out to the system to begin signing in.
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for successfully signing in at Mount Buzhou. Reward: one ordinary immortal fruit tree."
"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for successfully signing in in the womb. Reward: ten pots of ten-thousand-year immortal brew."
Two voices sounded. Shen Hongfei's little face contorted in bitterness. As expected, it was more useless stuff. Perhaps he had signed in too many times at Mount Buzhou. It seemed he needed to go out and explore.
However, seeing that Nuwa was still asleep, Shen Hongfei didn't disturb her. He would wait until she woke up. He took out a pot of ten-thousand-year immortal brew, preparing to taste its flavor.
Fengqi Mountain returned to peace, but the Primordial World was in turmoil. After Di Jun returned to the Solar Star, he summoned the demon tribes to hold a grand ceremony for Fuxi as the Demon Emperor.
The Ten Great Demon Sages were currently attacking Eastern King Duke. Although Eastern King Duke was at the minor accomplishment stage of the Grand Unity mid-stage, he lacked competent subordinates and was being pushed back repeatedly. He could only retreat to the East Sea and rely on the formation of Penglai Immortal Island to resist.
"What?"
"His Majesty wants us to return?"
At the demon tribe's military camp, Bai Ze was commanding the demon tribes' attack. Upon hearing Di Jun's summons, his eyes narrowed, and his mind churned. Had something happened to the demon race? Otherwise, they wouldn't have recalled them urgently.
With that thought, Bai Ze cast a hateful glance at Penglai Immortal Island and unwillingly ordered the retreat. Upon returning to the Solar Celestial Palace, the scene of lanterns and decorations caused the faces of the Ten Great Demon Sages to darken; this was completely different from what they had expected.
Carrying their thoughts, the Ten Great Demon Sages went to the Solar Celestial Palace. They saw Di Jun, Taiyi, and an unfamiliar powerful figure sitting together in the high seat. One of them couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, we were about to capture Eastern King Duke, why were we urgently recalled?"
"Haha, you've arrived. This is our fellow Daoist Nuwa's brother, fellow Daoist Fuxi."
"I have specially invited him to join our demon race and become the third Demon Emperor, the Xi Emperor!"
Di Jun said.
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the Ten Great Demon Sages changed. They were recalled for this matter!
Ji Meng glanced at Fuxi with a somber expression, finding that he was only at the minor accomplishment stage of the Grand Unity mid-stage. He felt somewhat unconvinced. These brothers had just defeated an Eastern King Duke of the same realm, forcing him to hide, so weren't they even more powerful and qualified to be Demon Emperors!
"Your Majesty, this cannot be. What status does the Demon Emperor hold? How can anyone be appointed so casually?"
Ji Meng stepped forward, glaring at Fuxi.
Fuxi's excitement waned upon hearing this, and his expression turned ugly. He was about to retort when he heard Di Jun say, "Silence!"
"My mind is made up. It's settled!"
Di Jun's firm stance silenced the assembly. Fuxi, unable to vent his anger internally, felt stifled and could only glare down below.
Seeing this, Di Jun's golden eyes flickered. He didn't want to establish Fuxi as the Demon Emperor if it could be avoided, but for Nuwa and her child, he had no choice.
Thinking about his trip to Fengqi Mountain, Di Jun fell into a deep thought. What should his next move be? How could he draw this child into the demon race?
"Achoo!"
Far away on Fengqi Mountain, Shen Hongfei sneezed, waking from his intoxication of fine wine. His small, tender face was flushed red.
Who's plotting against me again?
Shen Hongfei mumbled, opening his eyes to look outside. He saw that Nuwa had already woken and was sitting quietly by the Green Lotus Pond. He immediately became excited, knowing he could go out now.
"Mom, you're awake?"
Hearing the baby's adorable voice, Nuwa lightly furrowed her delicate brow. The child had finally woken up.
After she woke up, she felt a faint scent of wine within her and knew what had happened. She had already grown numb to Shen Hongfei constantly producing various treasures over the years, but she had strictly forbidden him from drinking the immortal brew, fearing any negative consequences.
Now, the baby had disobeyed again and secretly drunk the immortal brew. While angry, she couldn't help but worry.
"Hongfei, did you drink the immortal brew again?"
"This..."
Shen Hongfei's words caught in his throat. He quickly tried to appease her, "Mommy, look what other treasure I found in the Ancestral Dragon Pearl!"
Hearing this, Nuwa shook her head, unable to scold him. She then looked at the nine bottles of immortal brew that appeared in the clearing, as well as a celestial fruit tree.
"From now on, all the immortal brew must be given to me."
"Okay!"
Seeing that he had narrowly escaped punishment, Shen Hongfei quickly shifted the focus, "Mom, take me out for a walk."
"I'm tired of staying on Fengqi Mountain all day."
"I want to see the scenery of the Great Desolation!"
Nuwa was taken aback. That's right, her baby had consciousness even before being born, and it was the perfect time to experience the outside world. It was fine for her to live in seclusion on Fengqi Mountain, but she couldn't let her child stay there too.
Thinking this, she felt a pang of guilt and said, "Okay, Mom will take you out for a walk tomorrow!"
"Thank you, Mom!"
Shen Hongfei joyfully tumbled around in the amniotic fluid. This was great, he could continue signing in!
