"My son Hongfei has the bearing of a Saint! Others might not be able to resolve your Witch Clan's troubles, but I believe that since Hongfei said it, he must have a way!"

Nuwa wore a proud expression as she gently stroked her belly.

The various displays of Shen Hongfei's intelligence and quick wit had filled Nuwa with confidence in her son!

Otherwise, she would not have followed Houtu all the way to the Witch Clan without asking for more details.

"Really?"

"An unborn child can resolve the troubles of our Witch Clan?"

"..."

The Ancestral Witches exchanged glances, their faces still filled with disbelief.

Although Houtu and Nuwa had both vouched for Shen Hongfei, this was simply too fantastical!

With the knowledge of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, they had never even heard of anything like this!

If Shen Hongfei really resolved the Witch Clan's troubles, wouldn't that mean the Twelve Ancestral Witches were inferior even to an unborn child?

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Nuwa's elder brother is the Demon Emperor. It's understandable that you wouldn't help our Witch Clan, but there's no need to toy with us brothers using such an absurd claim, is there?"

The hot-tempered Zhurong glared at Nuwa as he spoke.

"Hmph, then don't believe me!"

Faced with Zhurong and the other Ancestral Witches' doubts, Nuwa immediately let out an unhappy snort.

Nuwa had traveled billions of miles to the Witch Clan to help them resolve their troubles.

Not only had they failed to appreciate it, they were now actually questioning her precious son!

If not for Houtu's sake, Nuwa would have long since flung her sleeves and left!

Nuwa could endure it, but Shen Hongfei could not stand by while his mother was being criticized!

"Hey, Zhurong! Do you even know how to speak? My mother went through all that trouble to come here and help you. Not only did your Witch Clan fail to thank her, you're even criticizing her instead. What kind of reasoning is that?"

Shen Hongfei's angry voice came from within Nuwa's belly.

Hearing that abrupt voice, the Ancestral Witches in the hall immediately gasped. One after another, they stared at Nuwa's abdomen with looks as if they had seen a ghost!

"He can actually speak!"

"He can speak clearly and logically before even being born. His talent is truly extraordinary!"

"..."

The Ancestral Witches were shocked and could not help discussing it among themselves.

Previously, they had only heard Houtu mention that Nuwa's child could speak before birth and was exceptionally intelligent.

But now that they had witnessed it with their own eyes, they were still deeply shaken!

A moment later, the Ancestral Witches finally recovered. They also realized that their earlier attitude toward Nuwa had been inappropriate.

Regardless of whether Nuwa could help them, the fact that she had willingly traveled billions of miles to come here was already worthy of the Witch Clan's gratitude!

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, please calm down! It's not that we don't believe you. It's just that unless we witnessed such a thing with our own eyes, it would truly be difficult to believe!"

Gonggong hurriedly rose and apologized to Nuwa.

Zhurong, however, looked at Nuwa's belly in astonishment and asked, "I believe what Fellow Daoist Nuwa said now. Your child is indeed exceptionally intelligent! But this should be his first time seeing me, right? Why could he recognize me as Zhurong?"

"That's right! The Twelve Ancestral Witches have barely left the Witch Clan's territory in the past several dozen eras. There aren't many beings throughout the primordial world who can recognize our identities anymore! Why could this unborn child immediately identify Zhurong?"

"This is indeed strange! No matter how intelligent this child is, he couldn't possibly know the future!"

"..."

After hearing Zhurong's words, the other Ancestral Witches also realized this and looked toward Nuwa's belly in astonishment.

"That's right! Hongfei, how did you recognize that person as Zhurong?"

Even Nuwa secretly transmitted her voice to Shen Hongfei and asked him.

Nuwa only knew that the people before her were the Twelve Ancestral Witches, but it was impossible for her to name all twelve of them and their identities.

"What's so difficult about that? Zhurong has the head of a beast and the body of a man, wears red scales, and has fire serpents piercing his ears. He is the southern Ancestral Witch of Fire! Naturally, I could recognize you at a glance!"

Faced with everyone's puzzled gazes, Shen Hongfei replied without concern.

As someone who had transmigrated, anyone with even a basic understanding of the primordial world from his previous life could generally recognize the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Naturally, this was nothing difficult for Shen Hongfei!

However, when the Twelve Ancestral Witches heard Shen Hongfei's words, they once again gasped. Their gazes toward Nuwa's belly also became solemn!

They had not expected Shen Hongfei not only to casually describe Zhurong's physical features, but also to know that he was the Ancestral Witch of Fire!

The Twelve Ancestral Witches each possessed different abilities, and the powers they wielded were top secrets within the entire Witch Clan!

They had never imagined that an unborn child like Shen Hongfei could casually reveal Zhurong's identity!

"Then do you know who I am? What abilities do I possess?"

Gonggong hurriedly asked Shen Hongfei.

"Gonggong has the head of a python and the body of a man, wears black scales, treads upon a black dragon, and has a green python wrapped around his hand. He is the northern Ancestral Witch of Water!"

Shen Hongfei glanced at Gonggong and casually recited his identity.

"Gasp!"

The Ancestral Witches' gazes toward Shen Hongfei changed once again!

If his recognition of Zhurong could previously have been a lucky guess, then recognizing Gonggong as well clearly could not have been luck.

"Then do you know who I am? What abilities do I possess?"

"And me! Little fellow, do you know who I am?"

"..."

The other Ancestral Witches immediately bombarded Shen Hongfei with questions.

They clearly wanted to find out exactly how much secret information about the Witch Clan Shen Hongfei knew!

"Goumang has a human face and a bird's body, rides upon two dragons, and is the eastern Ancestral Witch of Wood!"

"Rushou has a human face and a tiger's body, wears golden scales, and is the western Ancestral Witch of Metal!"

"..."

Faced with the Ancestral Witches' questions, Shen Hongfei did not hold back. Like someone reciting a family treasure, he revealed their information one by one!

As Shen Hongfei continued speaking, the astonishment on the Ancestral Witches' faces grew increasingly intense!

They could now confirm that this unborn child, Shen Hongfei, truly possessed far too much information unknown to outsiders.

"You little brat, where did you learn so much information about our Witch Clan?"

Zhurong could no longer hold back and directly asked Shen Hongfei.

"Hmph! I was born knowing it all. Is that not allowed?"

Shen Hongfei answered in a disdainful tone.

Naturally, he could not possibly tell them that he had transmigrated into the primordial world!

"Then do you also know some information that even our Witch Clan itself doesn't know?"

Dijiang, the leader of the Witch Clan, could not help asking Shen Hongfei as well.

However, Dijiang's tone was much more polite now, even carrying a hint of seeking instruction.

If word got out that Dijiang, a renowned and mighty expert of the primordial world, had politely sought advice from an unborn child, the shock would probably have left people's jaws on the floor!
