Shen Hongfei watched the Three Xiao Sisters laughing uproariously and shook his head. These three sisters must have been holding it in for a long time. Then again, no matter how disgracefully Tongtian and the others had acted, they still weren't people the sisters could mock.
But Tongtian and the others had all come today, and quite a few mighty figures had come earlier as well. Presumably, no one else would be coming for a while.
Just then, Shen Hongfei noticed the weariness on Nuwa's face, and his heart ached. That was good, at least his mother could finally have some peace and quiet.
With that thought, Shen Hongfei said to the still-laughing Three Xiao Sisters, "Sisters, tidy up the cave abode so Mother can rest."
"Okay!"
Only then did the Three Xiao Sisters remember that Nuwa was still there. They hurriedly stopped laughing and answered. Bixiao stuck out her tongue before following her two sisters to clean up.
Seeing how cheerful the Three Xiao Sisters were, Shen Hongfei smiled. Their presence had added a great deal of fun to Fengqi Mountain, strengthening his resolve to keep them here.
Soon, the cave abode looked brand-new. The curtain had been hung back above the stone bed, and the Three Xiao Sisters bowed and withdrew.
"Mother, lie down quickly. You must have been exhausted lately."
"Mhm."
Nuwa nodded and came to the stone bed with her belly held out. She gently stroked it, a trace of happiness appearing on her face. It was wonderful to have such a caring baby.
Nuwa smiled sweetly. Thinking of how the child gave everyone the same answer and never revealed his thoughts, she asked curiously, "Hongfei, all these mighty figures want to take you as their disciple now. Whom will you choose?"
"No one. They aren't even as good as you, Mother. How could they be my master?"
"If someone wants to take me as his disciple, he has to be stronger than you first."
"You, you..."
Nuwa smiled fondly, then remembered Fuxi joining the demon clan. A trace of worry appeared between her brows. "Hongfei, I saw ambition in Di Jun, just like your father, Ancestral Dragon, had back then."
"Your uncle will inevitably become entangled in karma after joining the demon clan. If he's even slightly careless, wouldn't that be..."
Here it comes!
Shen Hongfei comforted her, "Mother, don't worry. Uncle isn't a child anymore. You don't need to worry about him."
"Uncle Di Jun and the others are all at the perfected mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm. Apart from you and Uncle Laozi, they have few opponents."
"Could I possibly attack them?"
"No!"
Nuwa shook her head. Her worry eased somewhat, and a deep wave of drowsiness washed over her. She turned around and closed her eyes to rest.
"Phew!"
Shen Hongfei let out a soft sigh. Fortunately, his mother was simple-minded and hadn't pursued the matter further. Still, he couldn't exactly call it deceiving her. With his arrival, the primordial wilderness had already undergone a slight change. He had no idea what would happen later.
With that thought, Shen Hongfei sank into contemplation. The first lecture at Zixiao Palace had already passed, and the demon clan would soon enter a period of rapid development. The primordial wilderness was about to descend into chaos.
His mother had already taken the lead, becoming a late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal first, and the various mighty figures also had favorable impressions of him.
But that still wasn't enough. Shen Hongfei saw things clearly: as long as the benefits were sufficient, these people could take you as their disciple today and scheme against you ruthlessly tomorrow.
Fortunately, he possessed the Womb Sign-in System. He only needed to keep signing in to become stronger. As long as he was strong enough, none of this would be a problem.
"Sign in!"
After sorting out the path ahead, Shen Hongfei summoned the system and began signing in.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully signed in at Mount Buzhou. Reward: one ordinary immortal fruit tree."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully signed in in the womb. Reward: ten jars of ten-thousand-year immortal brew."
The two voices rang out. Shen Hongfei's little face fell. Sure enough, it was more of this useless stuff. Perhaps he had signed in at Mount Buzhou too many times. It seemed he needed to go out and take a walk.
However, seeing that Nuwa was still asleep, Shen Hongfei didn't disturb her. He would wait until she woke up. He took out a jar of ten-thousand-year immortal brew and prepared to taste it.
Fengqi Mountain had returned to peace, but the primordial wilderness was undergoing dramatic changes. After Di Jun returned to the Solar Star, he summoned the demon masses to hold an enthronement ceremony for Fuxi as a Demon Emperor.
The Ten Demon Saints were currently attacking Eastern King Duke. Although he was at the minor-achievement mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, he had no capable subordinates worth mentioning. He was beaten back step by step and could only retreat to the Eastern Sea, relying on the formation of Penglai Immortal Island to hold them off.
"What?"
"His Majesty wants us to return?"
At the demon clan's military camp, Bai Ze was directing the demon clan's attack. Upon hearing Di Jun's summons, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his thoughts churned. Had something happened to the demon clan? Otherwise, they wouldn't have urgently recalled them.
With that thought, Bai Ze cast a resentful glance at Penglai Immortal Island and reluctantly ordered the army to withdraw. When they returned to the Solar Palace, the brightly decorated scene made the Ten Demon Saints' expressions darken. It was completely different from what they had expected.
With their thoughts in mind, the Ten Demon Saints entered the Solar Palace. Seeing Di Jun, Taiyi, and an unfamiliar mighty figure seated together on the high platform, they couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, we were about to capture Eastern King Duke. Why were we urgently recalled?"
"Haha, you're here. This is Fellow Daoist Fuxi, the elder brother of Fellow Daoist Nuwa."
"I specifically invited him to join our demon clan and become the third Demon Emperor—Emperor Xi!"
Di Jun spoke.
As soon as he said this, the Ten Demon Saints' expressions changed. You recalled us just for this?
Ji Meng's expression darkened as he glanced at Fuxi. Discovering that Fuxi was only at the minor-achievement mid-stage Grand Luo realm, he felt somewhat dissatisfied. Their brothers had just beaten someone of the same realm, Eastern King Duke, into hiding. Weren't they stronger? Didn't they also qualify to become Demon Emperors?
"Your Majesty, you must not! What kind of status does a Demon Emperor possess? How can you casually let someone take the position?"
Ji Meng stepped forward and glared at Fuxi.
Fuxi's excitement vanished when he heard this, and his expression turned ugly. He wanted to lash out, but Di Jun spoke first.
"Silence!"
"I've made up my mind. It's settled!"
Di Jun's resolute attitude caused the scene to fall silent. Fuxi didn't dare vent his anger, but he felt aggrieved and could only glare at the people below.
Seeing this, a flicker passed through Di Jun's golden eyes. If it weren't necessary, he wouldn't have wanted to establish Fuxi as a Demon Emperor either. But for Nuwa and her child, he had no choice.
Thinking of his trip to Fengqi Mountain, Di Jun fell into contemplation. How should he proceed next? How could he draw this child into the demon clan?
"Achoo!"
Far away at Fengqi Mountain, Shen Hongfei sneezed. He woke from his intoxication with the fine wine, his tender little face flushed red.
Who's scheming against me again?
Shen Hongfei muttered, opening his eyes to look outside. He discovered that Nuwa had already woken up and was sitting quietly beside the Green Lotus Pond. He immediately became excited. He could go out now.
"Mother, you're awake?"
Hearing her baby's adorable voice, Nuwa lightly wrinkled her delicate nose. This child had finally woken up.
After waking, she had sensed a faint drunkenness within her body and immediately knew what had happened. Over the years, Shen Hongfei had continuously taken out all sorts of treasures, and she had already grown numb to it. She had only strictly forbidden him from drinking immortal brew, fearing that it might have some harmful effect.
Now the baby had disobeyed again and secretly drunk immortal brew. She was angry, but couldn't help worrying as well.
"Hongfei, you drank immortal brew again?"
"Uh..."
Shen Hongfei was at a loss for words and hurriedly tried to placate her. "Mother, look what other treasure I found inside the Ancestral Dragon Pearl!"
Hearing this, Nuwa shook her head, unable to bring herself to scold him. She then looked at the nine jars of immortal brew and the immortal fruit tree that had appeared in the empty space.
"From now on, you must hand all the immortal brew over to me."
"Okay!"
Seeing that he had escaped punishment, Shen Hongfei hurriedly changed the subject. "Mother, take me out for a walk."
"I've gotten tired of staying in Fengqi Mountain all day."
"I want to see the scenery of the primordial wilderness!"
Nuwa was stunned when she heard this. That was right. Her baby had already developed consciousness before being born, so this was the perfect time to experience the outside world. It was fine for her to live in seclusion at Fengqi Mountain, but she couldn't let the child stay here as well.
With that thought, she felt guilty and said, "All right. Tomorrow, Mother will take you out for a walk."
"Thank you, Mother!"
Shen Hongfei happily rolled about in the amniotic fluid. Wonderful! He could continue signing in!
