Hu Jiu Mei

Within Wang Yuan's formation, he was an invincible existence. His voice boomed like a great bell, leaving the Three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb dizzy and disoriented.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit was the sharpest of them. She hurriedly floated down to her knees. "Celestial Immortal, spare our lives. We were merely passing through this place and never expected to disturb you. This little demon has absolutely no intention of offending you. Please forgive us, Celestial Immortal."

At her signal, the Jade Pipa Spirit and Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit hurriedly knelt as well.

They did not know how powerful Wang Yuan was, but merely being able to freeze their immortal arts and conceal their realms meant he was definitely no ordinary person.

Little demon?

Demons?

Oh my God... did they eat people?

Wang Yuan slowly took a step back.

But these demons seemed to be afraid of him. Wang Yuan's eyes shifted. "Hmph! Since you have offended my Immortal Mountain, you must be punished! You shall remain here and serve me for fifty years."

Fifty years? To demons, that was no more than the flick of a finger. Ordinarily, they would certainly have stayed, but they had received an order from Nüwa and absolutely could not remain. Yet Goddess Nüwa had forbidden them from telling anyone about this matter...

The three demons were troubled.

Wang Yuan frowned. Seeing their hesitation, he was just about to berate them when Tongtian came trotting over from afar. "Uncle! Uncle! I improved again just now!"

He was like the foolish son of some landlord, shamelessly currying favor with an elder.

But when Tongtian ran closer and saw the three demons, he froze.

But when Tongtian ran up close and saw the three demons, he froze.

They were secretly astonished. Could this... be a Sage?

But why would a Sage act like this?

Like some foolish boy?

At that moment, Tongtian wanted to die.

If the Immortal Mountain only had Wang Yuan and Do Bao, it would have been one thing!

He had already let himself go.

But now, these three had suddenly appeared!

Even if he socially died in the Primordial World now...

The Primordial World could no longer contain him. It seemed he could only go to Chaos.

At that thought, a trace of killing intent appeared in his eyes.

For the sake of a Sage's dignity, he should silence them.

The three demons were instantly terrified when they saw the killing intent in Tongtian's eyes.

Tongtian was inwardly annoyed and also wanted to know who these three demons were. After calculating with his fingers, he looked at them and learned that they came from Xuanyuan Tomb, though their specific origins remained hidden.

"It is..."

Wang Yuan looked at the three demons in surprise. The Three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb?

"The Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit, the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit, and the Jade Pipa Spirit?"

Tongtian secretly admired him. As expected of Uncle—he could actually name their true forms even with the Heavenly Dao obscured.

Even Tongtian could not use his magical power within the Immortal Mountain, yet he still felt that Wang Yuan was incredibly powerful! Uncle truly was different!

"Um..."

Wang Yuan's eyes darted around. "I know where you came from. The person behind you means you no good. Even if you bewitch Zhou Wang and destroy Great Shang, you will gain no benefit in the end. Instead, you will be reduced to ashes."

Wang Yuan actually felt quite sympathetic toward the three demons. Nüwa had first summoned them and ordered them to bewitch Zhou Wang, promising them True Fruit. Yet after the Investiture of the Gods, Nüwa had actually killed all three of them.

After all, the karma attached to the three demons was simply too great. Even Nüwa could not bear such karma.

Wang Yuan's words left the three demons and Tongtian's minds buzzing.

The three demons had never expected Wang Yuan to know about the matter behind them, while Tongtian was thinking that someone had actually interfered with Cheng Tang's affairs?

Who was it?

"Celestial Immortal, is that truly so?"

"Of course it is." Wang Yuan was utterly certain. He recalled how Do Bao had mentioned Zhou Wang offering incense last time. The three demons must have been sent by that petty woman, Nüwa.

Wang Yuan had read Zhou Wang's poem too. It was harmless enough...

In fact, it was very straightforward. Translated, it basically meant, 'You're very pretty, and I want to sleep with you.' What a sincere expression of feeling!

Wang Yuan felt that Nüwa was simply too petty.

The three demons hesitated. Nüwa was a Sage, after all. Would she really deceive them?

Tongtian's face darkened. "Who exactly is behind you?"

The three demons were startled. Wang Yuan had spoken pleasantly enough, so they had not been too frightened. But Tongtian felt truly terrifying to them, because he had genuinely wanted to kill them just now.

"Celestial Immortal, it is not that we refuse to speak, but... but... a Sage may sense it..."

Tongtian thought, Sense my ass. With my Uncle here, the Heavenly Dao is nothing!

"Just say it. It will be fine."

After hesitating for a long time, and seeing that impatience had already appeared on Tongtian's face, the three demons finally said tremblingly, "It was Goddess Nüwa..."

After speaking, they looked fearfully around them. How could they possibly comprehend a Sage's abilities?

What if the Sage sensed them? What would they do then?

But what they feared did not happen.

Instead, Tongtian's expression darkened. He had not expected Nüwa to have a hand in this as well. That meddlesome woman!

Tongtian had originally held a decent impression of Nüwa, but now that this involved the Investiture of the Gods, he had to guard against everyone.

He glanced at Wang Yuan and found his expression perfectly normal. Sure enough, Uncle knew everything.

As expected of someone whose strength was not far from the Dao Ancestor's...

At this point, Tongtian became worried instead. Since Nüwa was involved, then... what should he do?

"You shall stay and serve me for fifty years. Just do not go outside."

Wang Yuan saw that the three demons were indeed exceptionally beautiful, each with her own charms, all with lovely faces and graceful figures. Wouldn't it be a waste to send them to Zhou Wang? Besides, he was doing this to increase his strength.

He absolutely did not have lustful intentions.

Changing the overall course of the Investiture of the Gods would earn system rewards.

How could the three demons dare refuse?

Neither of these two was someone they could afford to offend. The bearded young man looked frightening, yet he called that seemingly powerless mortal Uncle?

Not right—not a mortal. He had to be some great expert!

"Thank you, Celestial Immortal, for sparing our lives. This little demon will certainly serve you wholeheartedly."

Wang Yuan gave the three of them names: "Hu Jiu Mei, Pipa, and Zhi Zhi."

"Thank you, Celestial Immortal, for granting us names!" Hu Jiu Mei bowed down and kowtowed again.

"...No need to be so polite..."

After returning to the small courtyard and arranging rooms for them, Tongtian could no longer sit still.

When the three demons entered, they were even more shocked. Though they were merely Little Demons and had limited knowledge, they came from the lineage of Xuanyuan Tomb, passed down since ancient times, and recognized many treasures. Yet the things within the Immortal Mountain were completely beyond anything they had ever heard of.

Hu Jiu Mei brewed tea at the side. The instant the tea was steeped, its fragrance cleared her mind, and even raised her realm considerably.

What kind of treasure was this?!

Tongtian could no longer sit still. "Uncle... Hong Lie is an Intercept Sect Disciple. Will what Nüwa has done this time have any effect on the Jie Sect?"

Wang Yuan knocked Tongtian on the head. "Great nephew, honestly, why are you always overthinking things? You haven't even sorted out your own affairs, yet you're always thinking about the Jie Sect."

Tongtian roared inwardly!

I am the Jie Sect's leader!!!

I am the Jie Sect's leader!!!

He did not care about others, but he had to look after the Jie Sect.

"Ahem, I was thinking that Hong Lie is in the Jie Sect, after all."
