Although Nuwa was somewhat dissatisfied with Fuxi's actions before, deep down, she still did not guard against her elder brother much.
Thus, after hearing Fuxi's question, she answered directly, "The Witch Clan was oppressed by the Demon Clan before. Hongfei and I came to the Witch Clan at Houtu's invitation and helped them resolve this trouble!"
Although Nuwa did not elaborate, Fuxi was still shaken after hearing this. "What?! It was actually that bastard Shen Hongfei who helped the Witch Clan resolve their problem? Doesn't that mean that Shen Hongfei was the one who suggested that Saint Hongjun intervene?"
Fuxi knew very well that Di Jun had just suffered a huge setback at Hongjun's hands and had nearly been destroyed in both body and soul!
If Di Jun found out that inviting Saint Hongjun had been Shen Hongfei's idea, he would definitely hate Shen Hongfei to the bone!
"Ahem! Mother, Uncle is a member of the Demon Clan now. Don't tell him too much about the Witch Clan!"
Shen Hongfei coughed twice at this moment, interrupting Nuwa.
"Uh..."
Only then did Nuwa realize her mistake. She hurriedly warned Fuxi, "You absolutely mustn't tell the Demon Clan what I just told you, or they might harm Hongfei!"
"Don't worry, little sister. Of course I won't tell anyone. After all, we're family!"
Fuxi made his solemn guarantee!
The great ceremony of the Witch Clan lasted three days. Only after the three days had passed did the various members of the Witch Clan disperse one after another and return to their respective tribes.
After bidding farewell to Nuwa, Fuxi also left the Witch Clan and returned to the Demon Clan Heavenly Court!
As soon as he returned to the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, Fuxi was immediately summoned by Di Jun.
"How did it go? Did you deliver the gifts? What is the Witch Clan's attitude toward Shen Hongfei now?"
As soon as Fuxi arrived, Di Jun impatiently questioned him.
To drive a wedge between Shen Hongfei and the Witch Clan, the Demon Clan had spared no expense this time.
Not only had they given away an Innate Spiritual Treasure, but they had also thrown in two Innate Spiritual Fruits.
Thus, Di Jun was desperate to know how effective this scheme had been!
"Uh, I gave the gifts to my nephew in the name of the Demon Clan. As expected, the other members of the Witch Clan became suspicious because of it, and they were also very dissatisfied with Houtu marrying him..."
Fuxi exaggerated what he had seen and told Di Jun.
"Excellent! It seems this gift wasn't given in vain!"
Joy immediately appeared on Di Jun's face, but then he frowned and asked, "What did the Twelve Ancestral Witches say? Did they also become suspicious of Shen Hongfei?"
What Di Jun cared about most, of course, was the Twelve Ancestral Witches' opinion of Shen Hongfei.
As long as they became suspicious of Shen Hongfei, the two sides would never unite, and his scheme to drive a wedge between them would be considered a success!
"This..."
Upon hearing Di Jun's question, cold sweat immediately appeared on Fuxi's forehead, and he stammered without being able to speak.
"What? Don't tell me the Twelve Ancestral Witches didn't suspect Shen Hongfei's relationship with our Demon Clan?"
Di Jun's expression darkened as he asked with displeasure.
"The Twelve Ancestral Witches didn't become suspicious of Shen Hongfei. It was only those ordinary members of the Witch Clan who caused a commotion! Dijiang even did everything he could to defend Shen Hongfei..."
Fuxi shook his head and could only tell the truth.
"How could this be? If the Twelve Ancestral Witches didn't become suspicious of Shen Hongfei and only ordinary members of the Witch Clan suspected him, what use would that be?"
Di Jun stared coldly at Fuxi and demanded, "Are you saying that all the gifts our Demon Clan prepared were given away for nothing?"
To drive a wedge between Shen Hongfei and the Witch Clan, the Demon Clan had given away an Innate Spiritual Treasure!
Although the Treasure Gathering Golden Basin was only an auxiliary treasure rather than a combat treasure, its value was still immeasurable!
Now that their goal had not been achieved, Di Jun was naturally heartbroken.
"This, this... The reason the Twelve Ancestral Witches didn't suspect Shen Hongfei should be related to the fact that Shen Hongfei resolved a major problem for the Witch Clan!"
Under Di Jun's murderous gaze, Fuxi hurriedly and fearfully told him what Nuwa had previously revealed.
Although Fuxi had promised Nuwa that he would not tell the Demon Clan about this matter, he had no choice but to speak honestly now for the sake of protecting himself.
After all, the Demon Clan had suffered the loss of an Innate Spiritual Treasure for nothing this time!
Fuxi knew that if he did not provide Di Jun with an answer that satisfied him, Di Jun would absolutely not let him off easily!
"Good! I was wondering why Saint Hongjun, who had always ignored the conflicts of the Primordial World, had suddenly interfered in the conflict between our Demon Clan and the Witch Clan. So it was Shen Hongfei who suggested inviting the Saint to intervene!"
After hearing Fuxi's words, Di Jun instantly flew into a rage. He was so furious that his lungs nearly burst!
Di Jun recalled how he had nearly been reduced to ashes by the tribulation lightning for showing disrespect to Hongjun.
That had been the closest Di Jun had ever come to death, and he had been utterly terrified!
Even now, whenever he recalled that scene, Di Jun still could not help shuddering!
Di Jun did not dare resent Saint Hongjun, but he now hated Shen Hongfei, who had suggested inviting Hongjun to intervene, to the bone!
"Boom!"
An incomparably terrifying demonic aura erupted from Di Jun, instantly sweeping across the entire Heavenly Court!
The various members of the Demon Clan in the Heavenly Court trembled in fear when they sensed the terrifying aura radiating from Di Jun!
Fuxi, who was closest to Di Jun, went deathly pale and nearly collapsed to the ground.
"Shen Hongfei, you little bastard! If I don't kill you, I swear I'll never again be a member of the Demon Clan!"
Di Jun spoke through clenched teeth, seething with hatred.
Witch Clan.
"Achoo!"
Shen Hongfei, who was sleeping with his eyes closed inside Nuwa's womb, suddenly sneezed.
"Who is thinking about me?"
Shen Hongfei opened his eyes and muttered to himself.
While he had been sleeping just now, Shen Hongfei had sensed an enormous malice rushing toward him, instantly jolting him awake!
At Shen Hongfei's level, he could already vaguely sense the malice others harbored toward him.
Thus, Shen Hongfei did not believe that the sensation just now had been an illusion.
"It's a pity I haven't learned the Dao of divination, nor do I possess a spiritual treasure skilled in deduction like the River Diagram and Luo Shu. Otherwise, I could find out who harbors such deep malice toward me!"
Shen Hongfei thought to himself.
But immediately afterward, Shen Hongfei's eyes lit up again. "Right! It's time for me to sign in again!"
Shen Hongfei's system allowed him to sign in once every so often, and the more special the location, the more generous the reward!
After Shen Hongfei and Houtu became engaged, the reason he had stubbornly refused to leave and had kept Nuwa staying in Pangu Hall was to wait for the sign-in system's cooldown to end and complete another sign-in here!
If he had left earlier, he would have no idea when he would next be able to enter Pangu Hall, the Witch Clan's central stronghold!
"System, come out!"
Shen Hongfei excitedly called out to the system.
