"Kunpeng, are you trying to go back on your word?"

Shen Hongfei's oppressive aura spread out, directly confronting Kunpeng.

"Young Master, I don't want to go back on my word, it's just that you haven't been friendly to me."

"Not friendly? If we weren't friendly, would we have saved you? Besides, I gave you a chance, you could have left if you wanted to, yet now you attack me and my mother."

As the oppressive aura emanated, five bolts of heavenly lightning simultaneously flashed across the sky.

"Boom boom boom!"

They struck directly at the cave dwelling.

Nuwa took a deep breath. She could clearly feel a powerful surge of magical energy spreading around the area the moment the heavenly lightning vanished.

The furnace shook rapidly, and she didn't stop her movements.

Shen Hongfei, gathered his magical energy within her belly and shot out from Nuwa's womb.

Kunpeng, who had been diving down, instantly stopped. At the same time, a bolt of heavenly lightning struck down from the sky, landing squarely on him.

Kunpeng had no time to dodge. A sharp pain shot through his back, and a fresh, sweet taste surged, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth and dripping onto the ground.

He retreated in disarray, leaning against the surrounding wall, cautiously staring at the cave dwelling.

That was the power of an early stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Coupled with the power of the heavens, it had inflicted severe injuries upon him.

A powerful oppressive aura spread throughout the surroundings; it was the strength of an early stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Kunpeng understood that none of the Sanxiao Fairies he had sent flying possessed Grand Luo Golden Immortal strength, and Nuwa was busy refining the Monster-Recruiting Banner, having no time to intervene.

There was only one possibility: the child in her belly.

"Impossible, the child isn't even born yet, where would it get such power?"

"Or perhaps..."

Kunpeng narrowed his eyes. Ever since he met that kid, nothing had gone his way.

However, he had to admit that the child in Nuwa's belly was extremely formidable, both in terms of cunning and strength.

With such power before birth, once it was born, it would likely ascend to the heavens.

"Young Master, why are you refining the Monster-Recruiting Banner!"

Kunpeng cupped his hands, suppressing his ferocity. His long feathers still emanated a cold light.

Although he still had the strength to destroy the Monster-Recruiting Banner and cause the refinement to fail, doing so would mean completely falling out with Nuwa.

It was one thing to stop Nuwa from giving birth, but if he failed, it would essentially create a deep enmity between them.

With Shen Hongfei's current strength, he would surely achieve great things in the future.

At that time, if he wanted to attack, he would likely only be able to flee for his life.

Moreover, even if he stopped the current refinement, Nuwa could still pursue the matter in the future by collecting the materials again.

However, the success rate would be significantly reduced then, but there would still be a possibility of success.

"Why, don't you know?"

"This is a means of self-preservation."

"Ever since you were injured, my mother and I have been thinking of refining a Monster-Recruiting Banner to ensure we have the ability to protect ourselves in the future."

"The current era is not peaceful, the demon tribes are gathering strength, and if we don't take precautions, we might be trampled underfoot in the future, understand?"

Shen Hongfei's majestic voice echoed from the cave dwelling. Even though he was inside Nuwa's womb, that imposing aura could not be concealed.

"Kunpeng, I know what you're worried about."

"Actually, before you came, I gave you a choice: either leave, or become my mother's mount."

"As for the future, you've seen my strength. I am currently just a child in my mother's womb. If you can estimate my strength after I am born..."

"There's no downside to following me; on the contrary, there are many benefits."

"That Immortal Brew, which has the effect of restoring the body, I gave it to you so easily."

Kunpeng listened, his mind racing.

Indeed, with his current strength, he was unable to go out and fight.

Apart from joining the demon tribe, there was no other way.

However, this place was different.

He could cultivate with Nuwa, improve his strength under her guidance, and also evade those guys from the demon tribe.

Even becoming a mount was a fortunate event.

Moreover, once Shen Hongfei was born, this Primordial Era world would change drastically.

He clearly remembered that after Shen Hongfei made his request to Di Jun, although Di Jun lost face, he still agreed to let him go.

One could only imagine that if he killed the fetus, he would likely face pursuit from all the great figures in the Primordial Era.

If he surrendered, he would definitely receive many benefits in the future, and at the very least, his current troubles would be resolved.

"Since Young Master said so, Kunpeng is willing to follow you and Master."

Kunpeng transformed into human form and knelt at the cave entrance.

At this moment, he lacked his usual cold demeanor and murderous intent, possessing only complete admiration and obedience.

Shen Hongfei was pleased with his decision. He took out a bottle of Immortal Brew from the system and tossed it directly at Kunpeng.

Kunpeng caught it and retreated to the side of the cave entrance.

At the same time, Fuxi's figure had already arrived at Fengqi Mountain.

Kunpeng looked up and saw Fuxi, but made no move.

In contrast, the Sanxiao Fairies, though they could barely stand, were weak and listless.

They forced themselves up and rushed to the cave entrance, blocking Fuxi.

Kunpeng stood behind them, using his magic to reduce their power by half.

"Apologies, Niangniang is refining inside, you cannot enter."

Bixiao Fairy stepped forward, cupping her fists.

Fuxi's displeased gaze bore down on Bixiao Fairy, and a wave of pressure tightly enveloped her.

Bixiao Fairy still cupped her fists, blocking the cave entrance without fear.

However, cold sweat dripped from her continuously onto the ground, and her clothes were gradually soaked.

"You, aren't you leaving yet?"

Fuxi raised his hand, preparing to strike with a palm.

Suddenly, the sky stirred again. The final bolt of heavenly lightning struck from above, followed by a surge of pure magical energy.

With the thunder from the sky, the surroundings returned to normal, and the previously overcast sky instantly disappeared.

In its place was a rainbow.

"We're late."

Several figures followed Di Jun to the cave entrance. They were slightly taken aback as they looked at the gradually clearing sky.

It was the aura of powerful magic, one that could be felt no matter where they were.

"Brother, you're here?"

Nuwa's clothes were soaked with sweat from refining her weapon.

Now, she was dressed in white, her long hair unbound, exuding a powerful magical aura as she walked towards them.

"Sister, I sensed something was wrong from afar and rushed here. Are you alright?"

Fuxi narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze sweeping over her belly before finally resting gently on Nuwa.

Nuwa cradled her belly, her eyes curved into a smile. Her beautiful face radiated unparalleled elegance.

"Brother, you jest. With the child in my belly keeping me company, how could anything happen to me?"

"Fellow Daoist Di Jun, you've arrived as well."

Nuwa finished speaking and cupped her fists in greeting to the few people behind him.

Di Jun smiled and returned the gesture to Nuwa.
