Should I Marry Sister Houtu?

Yuanshi was very pleased with Shen Hongfei. This child was polite even before being born, and his origins were excellent. Wasn't he precisely the disciple prepared for this humble Daoist? He absolutely had to take him in.

However, this child was not yet born, and his safety could not be guaranteed. Although fellow Daoist Nuwa was in the late stage of Grand Luo Golden Immortal, she was pregnant. It was uncertain how much of her cultivation she could manifest. If an accident occurred midway, wouldn't this humble Daoist lose a beloved disciple?

Thinking of this, he raised his head and said to Nuwa, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, this child is not yet born, and you are also inconvenienced. Why not return to Kunlun Mountain with this humble Daoist?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other great cultivators turned their heads. Was Yuanshi planning to take them all in one go?

Shen Hongfei had a strange expression. He glanced at Yuanshi. This old Daoist was quite active-minded. He wanted this young master to become his disciple and solve the problem from the root. It was rather interesting.

Nuwa's face turned slightly red, and she clasped her hands helplessly, saying, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, this action is perhaps inappropriate!"

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, this humble Daoist has no intention of offending."

Seeing this, Yuanshi felt he had said the wrong thing and quickly explained.

"This humble Daoist is thinking of you, fellow Daoist. Now that this child is not yet born, and you are inconvenienced, if danger arises, this child's safety cannot be guaranteed."

"Once we go to Kunlun Mountain, with my three brothers present, no one would dare harm this child."

"This..."

Nuwa hesitated. Her brother had always wanted to abort the baby. If she went to Kunlun Mountain, the baby could be born safely. Fellow Daoists Sanqing were immensely powerful. Perhaps they had methods to resolve the karma on the baby.

Seeing Nuwa hesitate, Zhunti felt anxious. How could this be? If Nuwa went to Kunlun Mountain, this humble Daoist would not be able to take this child as a disciple. He immediately stepped forward to block and said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, these words are amiss."

"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, being a woman, going to Kunlun Mountain to be with all of you is not appropriate!"

"Hmph, it's not appropriate to be with my senior brother, but is it appropriate to go to the barren West with you!"

Yuanshi snorted coldly in disdain.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, these words are excessive!"

Jieyin put his palms together, and a hint of anger appeared on his sallow face as he came to Zhunti's side.

Tongtian and Laozi saw this and both stepped forward, coming to Yuanshi's side, glaring at the two Daoists Zhunti.

"What, do you two wish to have a go with my three brothers?"

Tongtian looked at Zhunti and the other Daoist, eager to try, his Daoist rhyme manifesting, wanting to test his recently breakthrough strength.

The other great cultivators saw this. Although they also wanted to take Shen Hongfei as a disciple, now was not the time. Rashly participating would mean facing the combined might of Sanqing and Zhunti & Jieyin, so they all fell silent.

Nuwa, seeing this scene, didn't know what to do. She was kind-hearted and didn't want her child to cause conflict among others.

Sensing Nuwa's emotions, Shen Hongfei sighed. Not wanting to make things difficult for her, he spoke.

"Waaah!"

Shen Hongfei mustered all his strength and cried out loudly, his voice piercing as if he were frightened.

Yuanshi Tianzun no longer cared about contending with Zhunti and the other Daoist. He came before Nuwa and asked with concern, "Disciple, what's wrong?"

"You are so fierce, I'm so scared. You are all bad people. None of you should think of taking me as your disciple!"

"Waaah!"

Yuanshi Tianzun's face twitched. It was bad. This child was not yet born, and his previous demeanor must have frightened the child. If the child was unwilling to become his disciple because of this, it would be a huge loss.

Thinking of this, Yuanshi glared fiercely at Zhunti and the other Daoist, forced a smile onto his face, controlled his voice, and tried to be as gentle as possible.

"Child, don't be afraid. Uncle is protecting you."

"Really?"

"Mmm!"

Yuanshi Tianzun coaxed him earnestly, which stunned Tongtian and Laozi. Was this still the arrogant Yuanshi?

It seemed his second brother truly wanted to take this child as a disciple. What should he do? How should he speak? Tongtian was somewhat conflicted.

Laozi also sighed. They needed to make a long-term plan now, otherwise, it would damage the camaraderie of their three brothers. However, this child must join their sect. Others should not even think of laying a hand on him. Thinking of this, Laozi looked at the surrounding great cultivators, his threat evident.

The other great cultivators, seeing this, did not dare to step forward recklessly. Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged glances and also fell silent. After all, Sanqing was currently too powerful to confront directly. They could only look for opportunities later.

Nuwa, seeing that the situation was under control, quickly stepped forward and said to Yuanshi, "Fellow Daoist, I appreciate your kindness."

"This humble woman still wishes to return to Fengqi Mountain!"

"Sister!"

Fuxi, seeing Nuwa refuse, couldn't help but want to persuade her. Sanqing were now the most powerful great divine abilities in the Great Desolation. If his sister went to Kunlun Mountain, wouldn't he also benefit greatly?

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, please don't try to persuade her."

Zhunti, seeing Nuwa refuse, felt a surge of joy. Then, seeing Fuxi's action, he quickly stepped forward to stop him.

The other great cultivators also looked at him with ill intentions. Fuxi opened his mouth but did not dare to say more.

Tongtian, seeing the situation in the field, had a flash of inspiration. He thought of the three female disciples he had recently taken in and perhaps he could do this. He then transmitted a message to Yuanshi.

"Second Brother, if Fellow Daoist Nuwa doesn't go to Kunlun Mountain, taking that child as a disciple might have complications."

"I, your third brother, have thought of a method that can ensure the child becomes a disciple of our Kunlun Mountain."

"Third Brother, quickly tell me what method it is?"

Yuanshi hurriedly asked.

"We just need to send a female disciple to attend to Nuwa, and by the way, gain the child's favor. Once there's affection, he might even voluntarily join Kunlun Mountain."

Yuanshi felt this was feasible but realized he hadn't taken any disciples yet. Where would he find a female disciple?

Seeing his second brother's awkward expression, Tongtian chuckled and transmitted, "Second brother, you forgot. Not long ago, I traveled to the East Sea and took in three female disciples. I can send them!"

"Let's refine a few more jade slips and give them to them. If anyone visits fellow Daoist Nuwa ahead of time, they can crush them, and we can quickly get there!"

"Yes, that's the plan!"

Heavenly Venerate Yuanshi pondered and found the method sound. He then relayed Tongtian's suggestion to Nuwa.

Shen Hongfei was stunned. Tongtian's female disciples, and three of them? Could they be the Sanxiao Fairies? Recalling the legends of the Sanxiao Fairies from his past life, curiosity piqued. He quickly conveyed a sense of joy to Nuwa.

Nuwa, being kind by nature and disliking bothering others, was prepared to refuse. However, sensing the baby's delight, she readily agreed.

Zhunti, seeing this, had a flash of inspiration and stepped forward, offering to have his disciples attend to Nuwa. Shen Hongfei refused. Aside from Guanyin, whose gender was unknown in later generations, the Western Teachings had no beauties.

Yuanshi, seeing Nuwa's agreement, felt relieved. He then considered that if danger arose, even with the Sanxiao transmitting a message, it would take time for him and his two brothers to arrive. During that period, someone would need to ensure the child's safety.

Yuanshi noticed Fuxi standing nearby and had an idea. He approached and said, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, the child's daily safety will depend on you."

Fuxi's face momentarily froze. Why was he involved again?

He was supposed to protect that brat?

It was already good that he hadn't beaten him up, and now he was expected to protect him? Absolutely not!

Fuxi felt a sense of frustration, but after glancing at the Sanqing, he swallowed his words, forced a smile, and said, "I am the child's maternal uncle, so it is only right."

"Then thank you, fellow Daoist Fuxi."

"You are too kind."

"Hahaha!"

Shen Hongfei, still in the womb, saw his uncle's unnatural smile and couldn't help but burst into laughter, feeling utterly content. From now on, how would he beat him up!

With all matters settled, Hongjun slightly raised his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down.

"This lecture ends here. You shall all return to verify your learnings and return in three thousand years to hear the Dao again!"

The great cultivators bowed to Hongjun with cupped fists and shouted in unison, "Thank you, Teacher, for imparting the Great Dao to us."

Hongjun nodded slightly and vanished from the high platform. The three thousand listeners also began to leave one by one.

At the entrance of Zixiao Palace, Houtu emerged, supporting Nuwa. Fuxi followed behind with a grim expression. His face had been thoroughly disgraced during this trip to Zixiao Palace.

Not only had he lost the opportunity for sainthood and lost the bet with that brat, but his cultivation hadn't improved much either. Now, he also had to protect that brat.

This made him quite distressed. He clearly wanted to beat up Shen Hongfei, yet in front of outsiders, he had to display the responsibility of a good uncle, unable to vent his anger.

Shen Hongfei no longer cared about Fuxi's thoughts. He had now reached Grand Unity and obtained the Ancestral Dragon Inheritance. He had also gained the favor of many great cultivators. Want to beat him up?

No way!

At this moment, his attention was drawn to Houtu standing beside him. Thinking of her original fate, he sighed inwardly, contemplating what he should do. It was such a shame for such a beautiful woman not to be married and instead transform into the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Should I marry Sister Houtu (shouldn't you call her older sister)?
