"Now you know to beg me? What took you so long?!"

Shen Hongfei curled his lips, appearing as though his anger had not yet subsided.

"Hongfei..."

Nuwa gently stroked her belly, looking as if she had something to say but hesitated.

Nuwa clearly wanted Shen Hongfei to help the Witch Clan, considering his relationship with Houtu.

However, Nuwa also knew her son had always been headstrong, so she was unsure how to persuade him.

Shen Hongfei noticed Houtu, sitting beside Nuwa, looking at him with a pleading expression.

Although Houtu hadn't spoken, her intentions were clearly the same as Nuwa's – she wanted Shen Hongfei to help the Witch Clan.

"Sigh, forget it! Given your sincere pleas, it's not impossible for me to help you Ancestral Witches solve your current predicament..."

Shen Hongfei shook his head and finally spoke.

Nuwa was his mother, and Houtu was a girl he liked. Shen Hongfei ultimately decided to show them respect and guide the Witch Clan toward a solution!

However, Shen Hongfei had no ties to the Witch Clan, so he certainly wouldn't help for free!

Upon hearing Shen Hongfei agree, joy bloomed on the faces of the Ancestral Witches.

Dijiang immediately promised, "Thank you so much, Junior Brother Shen! If you have any requests, please state them. As long as our Witch Clan can fulfill them, we will not refuse!"

The Demon Clan had already pushed the Witch Clan to the brink of no return!

With the great war between the Witch and Demon Clans on the verge of breaking out, Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches were desperate.

They now saw Shen Hongfei as their last hope!

"Really?"

Hearing Dijiang's words, Shen Hongfei's eyes lit up. He feigned a naive tone and exclaimed joyfully, "If I want to marry Houtu, would you agree?"

"Wh-What!"

"You want to marry my little sister!"

"..."

As Shen Hongfei finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in Pangu Hall, followed by gasps of disbelief from the Ancestral Witches!

Their eyes were so wide with surprise that they nearly popped out. They never expected Shen Hongfei, an unborn fetus, to make such an outrageous demand!

They had initially thought Shen Hongfei would at most ask for some rare heavenly treasures, spiritual roots, or spiritual treasures. They never imagined he would want to marry Houtu!

Houtu was indeed a renowned beauty in the Primordial Era, and many powerful figures had sought her hand in marriage from the Witch Clan.

But Shen Hongfei, who wasn't even born yet, was also setting his sights on Houtu?

"You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Houtu's face turned bright red. She shot Shen Hongfei a reproachful glare.

Shen Hongfei had mentioned wanting to marry her before, and Houtu had always dismissed it as childish prattle.

She never imagined Shen Hongfei would actually say it in front of all her brothers!

Nuwa also lightly patted Shen Hongfei with a hint of chiding, feeling that his request was too abrupt!

"You unborn brat, you want to marry my little sister? Impossible!"

Zhurong slammed his hand on the table, glaring at Shen Hongfei as he roared angrily.

Although the other Ancestral Witches remained silent, they clearly thought Shen Hongfei was dreaming.

"Junior Brother Shen, I suggest you change your condition!"

Dijiang shook his head. "My Ancestral Clan possesses several Innate Spiritual Treasures. If you desire them, you may choose any one!"

The Twelve Ancestral Witches had always been as close as siblings. Although the Witch Clan was indeed facing threats from the Demon Clan and needed Shen Hongfei's help, they could not trade their little sister's lifelong happiness for it!

"Innate Spiritual Treasures? I don't want them. I only want to marry Houtu! If you don't agree, then forget it. My mother and I will leave the Witch Clan now!"

Shen Hongfei refused without hesitation.

Innate Spiritual Treasures held immense allure for any cultivator in the Primordial Era, but not for Shen Hongfei.

Shen Hongfei could obtain even more and better spiritual treasures through his sign-in system; he had no need to covet a few Innate Spiritual Treasures from the Witch Clan!

Compared to spiritual treasures, his sister Houtu was clearly much more appealing!

"This..."

Seeing Shen Hongfei reject Dijiang's offer without hesitation, the Ancestral Witches were all bewildered.

If they were dealing with an adult, they could have used various exchanges of benefits to achieve their goals.

However, facing Shen Hongfei, an unborn fetus, neither coercion nor temptation was appropriate!

"Little sister, what do you think about this?"

Gonggong asked Houtu.

If Houtu was unwilling to marry Shen Hongfei, then the matter would naturally not be brought up again!

If only Houtu herself were willing, then they wouldn't have to be in such a difficult position!

Although Shen Hongfei was still an unborn fetus, marrying Houtu to him did seem a bit absurd.

But for cultivators who had reached their realm, age was never an issue!

Moreover, the Witch Clan's situation was dire, and they had no room to negotiate!

"I..."

Seeing everyone in the hall turn to look at her, Houtu's face turned even redder.

Houtu certainly didn't dislike Shen Hongfei, but he was, after all, still an unborn fetus!

Discussing marriage to him now naturally made Houtu feel a little strange.

However, Houtu also knew that resolving the Witch Clan's troubles was the most important thing, and everything else was just a side issue.

So, suppressing her shyness, Houtu lowered her head and said to the Ancestral Witches, "I... I'll listen to my brothers' arrangements..."

After speaking, Houtu, with a flushed face and a shy expression, ran off and left Pangu Hall.

"This..."

Looking at Houtu's retreating figure, the Ancestral Witches exchanged glances.

Judging by Houtu's words just now, she clearly didn't object to marrying Shen Hongfei.

This left Zhurong and the other Ancestral Witches who had strongly opposed marrying Houtu to Shen Hongfei somewhat at a loss.

"Hmph, you all better think carefully! Without my help, the war between the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan will inevitably break out. The entire Primordial Era will be engulfed in war, inevitably leading to countless casualties!"

Shen Hongfei's words carried a threat.

After the Ancestral Witches communicated with each other and discussed for a while, Dijiang finally and helplessly agreed, "We can agree to marry our little sister to you, but you must guarantee that your method can indeed help our Witch Clan overcome this crisis!"

Even though they were unwilling to marry Houtu to such a brat like Shen Hongfei, under the threat of the Demon Clan, they had no choice but to agree.

"Haha, don't worry, my method can definitely help you solve your current troubles!"

Hearing that the Ancestral Witches had finally agreed, Shen Hongfei was overjoyed and immediately agreed wholeheartedly.

Thinking that he would be able to marry a great beauty like Houtu from the Primordial Era, Shen Hongfei couldn't help but excitedly splash around a few times in the amniotic fluid!
