"My son Hongfei has the bearing of a Saint! Others might not be able to solve your Wu clan's problems, but I believe that since Hongfei said it, he must have a way!"
Nuwa said this, gently caressing her belly with a proud look.
Shen Hongfei's displays of intelligence and quick-wittedness had filled Nuwa with confidence in her son!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have traveled so far with Houtu to the Wu clan without asking for details.
"Really?"
"A fetus yet to be born can solve our Wu clan's problems?"
"..."
The Ancestral Witches exchanged glances, their faces still showing disbelief.
Although Houtu and Nuwa had vouched for Shen Hongfei, this was simply too surreal!
Even with the knowledge of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, they had never heard of such a thing!
If Shen Hongfei truly solved the Wu clan's troubles, wouldn't that mean they, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, were inferior to an unborn fetus?
"I heard that Fellow Daoist Nuwa's elder brother is the Demon Emperor. It's understandable that you wouldn't help us Witches, but there's no need to toy with us brothers with such absurd words, is there?"
Zhurong, known for his fiery temper, glared at Nuwa and said.
"Hmph, forget it if you don't believe me!"
Faced with the questioning from Zhurong and the other Ancestral Witches, Nuwa let out a displeased cold snort.
Nuwa had traveled an immense distance to the Wu clan, wanting to help them with their troubles.
Not only did they not appreciate her efforts, but now they were questioning her precious son!
If it weren't for Houtu, Nuwa would have already stormed off!
However, while Nuwa could tolerate this, Shen Hongfei couldn't stand by and watch his mother be accused!
"Hey, Zhurong! Do you even know how to speak? My mother traveled all this way to help, and instead of being grateful, your Wu clan is accusing her. What kind of logic is that!"
Shen Hongfei's angry voice echoed from within Nuwa's belly.
Hearing this sudden voice, the Ancestral Witches in the hall gasped, all looking at Nuwa's abdomen with expressions as if they had seen a ghost!
"He can actually speak!"
"To speak so clearly before even being born, he truly is extraordinarily gifted!"
"..."
The Ancestral Witches were shocked and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
They had only heard from Houtu before that Nuwa's child could speak before birth and was exceptionally intelligent.
But seeing it with their own eyes, they were still utterly amazed!
A moment later, the Ancestral Witches recovered from their shock. They also realized that their earlier attitude towards Nuwa had been somewhat inappropriate.
Regardless of whether Nuwa could actually help, her willingness to travel such a long distance to come here was already worthy of their Wu clan's gratitude!
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, please calm your anger! It's not that we don't believe you, but it's just that without seeing it with our own eyes, such a matter is truly hard to believe!"
Gonggong quickly stood up to apologize to Nuwa.
Zhurong, however, looked at Nuwa's belly with surprise and asked, "I believe what Fellow Daoist Nuwa said. Your child is indeed exceptionally intelligent! But this is likely the first time he's seeing me, so how could he recognize me as Zhurong?"
"That's right! We Twelve Ancestral Witches haven't left the Wu clan's territory much in the past few eons. There aren't many people in the entire Primordial Era who can recognize our identities! Why can this unborn fetus directly recognize Zhurong's identity?"
"This is indeed strange! No matter how smart this fetus is, he shouldn't be able to predict the future!"
"..."
Hearing Zhurong's words, the other Ancestral Witches also suddenly realized this point and looked towards Nuwa's womb with surprise.
"That's right! Hongfei, how did you recognize the person just now as Zhurong?"
Even Nuwa secretly transmitted her voice to Shen Hongfei, asking.
Nuwa only knew that the people present were the Twelve Ancestral Witches, but she couldn't possibly identify all of them by name!
"What's so difficult about that? Zhurong, with a beast's head and a human's body, covered in red scales, with fire snakes in his ears, he is the Ancestral Witch of Fire from the South! Of course, I recognized your identity at a glance!"
Facing everyone's puzzled gazes, Shen Hongfei said dismissively.
As a transmigator, anyone who had some understanding of the Primordial Era in their past life could basically recognize the identities of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. This was nothing to Shen Hongfei!
However, after hearing Shen Hongfei's words, the Twelve Ancestral Witches gasped again, their gazes towards Nuwa's abdomen becoming solemn!
They hadn't expected Shen Hongfei to not only casually mention Zhurong's physical characteristics but also know that he was the Ancestral Witch of Fire!
The abilities of the Twelve Ancestral Witches varied, and the powers they possessed were top-secret within the Wu clan!
They never expected Shen Hongfei, this unborn fetus, to casually reveal Zhurong's identity!
"Then do you know who I am? What are my abilities?"
Gonggong quickly asked Shen Hongfei.
"Gonggong, with a python's head and a human's body, covered in black scales, treading on black dragons, with green pythons coiled around his hands, he is the Ancestral Witch of Water from the North!"
Shen Hongfei glanced at Gonggong and casually revealed his identity.
"Hiss!"
The Ancestral Witches looked at Shen Hongfei with changed expressions once more!
If recognizing Zhurong earlier could have been a guess, then recognizing Gonggong now clearly wasn't!
"Then do you know who I am? What are my abilities?"
"And me! Little fellow, do you know who I am?"
"..."
The other Ancestral Witches immediately started bombarding Shen Hongfei with questions.
They clearly wanted to figure out just how much classified information Shen Hongfei knew about their Witch tribe!
"Goumang, human face and bird body, feet resting on two dragons, the Ancestral Witch of Eastern wood!"
"Rushou, human face and tiger body, clad in golden scales, the Ancestral Witch of Western metal!"
"..."
Facing the inquiries of the Ancestral Witches, Shen Hongfei didn't hold back, listing their information one by one as if recounting treasures!
As Shen Hongfei spoke, the shock on the faces of the Ancestral Witches grew more intense!
They could now confirm that this unborn fetus, Shen Hongfei, indeed possessed too much information unknown to outsiders!
"You child, where on earth did you learn so much about our Witch tribe?"
Zhurong couldn't hold back any longer and directly asked Shen Hongfei.
"Hmph! I know it because I was born knowing it, is that not allowed?"
Shen Hongfei replied dismissively.
Of course, he wasn't going to reveal that he had transmigrated to the Primordial Era!
"Then do you know anything that even we in the Witch tribe don't know?"
Dijiang, the leader of the Witch tribe, couldn't help but ask Shen Hongfei at this point.
However, Dijiang's tone was much more polite now, even carrying a hint of seeking advice.
If others knew that Dijiang, a renowned powerful figure in the Primordial Era, was so politely seeking answers from an unborn fetus, their jaws would likely drop in shock!
