Nuwa, disguised as a little beggar girl, nervously walked into the courtyard.
Worried that she was still frightened, Zhang Yifan walked over, took her hand, and led her to the table.
"Go, move over a little." Zhang Yifan shooed the Jade Emperor aside to make room, then reassured her, "Little one, don't be afraid. Sit here. We're all kind people."
Nuwa secretly glanced at the Jade Emperor, who was feeling rather displeased. Him, a kind person? Would a kind person use the Dog Head Guillotine to behead Grand Supreme Elder Laozi?
"Little Tongtong, go fetch a basin of water and let the little one wash her hands." Seeing how filthy the little beggar girl was, Zhang Yifan told Sect Master Tongtian to fetch water.
"Great-Grandpa, I'll get the water." At that moment, Yunxiao's thoughts raced. She volunteered for the task and ran off to fetch water.
Little Tongtong???
Great-Grandpa???
Nuwa was utterly bewildered. What was going on?
A dignified Heavenly Dao Saint was actually being called Little Tongtong?
And Yunxiao, someone so proud and arrogant, was actually calling this man Great-Grandpa?
Could this be the mysterious figure behind the Jade Emperor?
That supremely mysterious, invincible great power?
Suddenly, Nuwa spotted Qilin Old Ancestor Big Black Dog leisurely gnawing on a mutton bone, and her heart shook violently!
Old Ancestor Qilin?!!
Holy crap.
Hadn't Old Ancestor Qilin died? Why was he here?
Hm? His cultivation was so unfathomably profound that he seemed to possess the power of a Saint!
Nuwa was horrified. Could Old Ancestor Qilin have been the one who had chopped off Saint Zhunti's head with a single hoe?
Very likely. Very likely indeed.
It might really have been him!
This courtyard was far too strange!
Yunxiao's Great-Grandpa was terrifying beyond measure!
The more Nuwa thought about it, the more shocked she became.
The Jade Emperor, Sect Master Tongtian, the Queen Mother, and the others continued chatting and laughing, leaving Nuwa off to the side.
Since you were a little beggar girl, then you were merely a little beggar girl. No one cared whether you possessed the lofty status of a Heavenly Dao Saint.
What a joke. This courtyard was the most elite circle in the Primordial Three Realms.
Could just anyone enter it?
Would just anyone be allowed inside?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible.
"Great-Grandpa, I've brought the water!"
Before long, Yunxiao arrived carrying a basin of water.
"Great-Grandpa, let me wash her. I'm a girl too, so she won't be as scared."
"Alright, alright, alright."
Yunxiao stopped Zhang Yifan, smiling as she pulled Nuwa over to wash her hands. She then wiped Nuwa's face with a warm towel and even used her fingers to comb through her messy hair.
Yunxiao looked so gentle and considerate.
Nuwa was very pleased with Yunxiao's performance! Not bad at all. She truly had the demeanor of a junior showing filial respect to an elder.
Even Zhang Yifan nodded and praised Yunxiao for being thoughtful and considerate, calling her a good child.
The Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, and Sect Master Tongtian merely glanced over from time to time.
"Ahhh!"
All of a sudden, Yunxiao screamed.
The sudden cry was so shrill that it hurt everyone's ears.
It startled Nuwa badly as well.
Zhang Yifan, the Jade Emperor, Sect Master Tongtian, and the others all turned to look.
"What's wrong, Little Yunyun?" Zhang Yifan hurried over.
Yunxiao's face was filled with excitement, tears glistening in her eyes as both hands clutched Nuwa's shoulders. "Little Lunlun! Little Lunlun! It's you! It's really you! Do you know how hard I've been looking for you?"
What?
Sect Master Tongtian, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, Yang Jian, Zhao Gongming, and the others were all stunned. What kind of trick was this girl playing?
"Little Yunyun, you know this little beggar girl?" Zhang Yifan asked in surprise.
"Great-Grandpa, I know her, I know her." Yunxiao answered excitedly, "Little Lunlun is the daughter of my sworn sister. She's my great niece. We got separated three years ago. I never expected to meet her here at Great-Grandpa's place today."
"The daughter of your sworn sister?"
Zhang Yifan froze. You were only twelve or thirteen, weren't you?
This little beggar girl looked twelve or thirteen too. Was your sworn sister some woman in her thirties or forties?
"Yes, yes." Yunxiao nodded with an innocent expression, then tightly hugged Nuwa again. "Little Lunlun, I missed you so much. After your mother left, I kept searching and searching for you."
"You people really like making sworn bonds, huh."
Zhang Yifan gave Yunxiao a strange look, then glanced at the Jade Emperor and Sect Master Tongtian.
Didn't those two also have sworn brothers, whose sworn brothers had sons and daughters?
Sure enough, the Primordial Continent could not be judged by common sense. Relationships between old and young people were all the rage here.
Meanwhile, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, Yang Jian, and the others were secretly snickering.
What a Yunxiao!
Well done!
She had scored huge points this round!
The Jade Emperor, Yang Jian, and the others even gave Yunxiao a thumbs-up.
Sect Master Tongtian's mouth twitched as he thought, Nuwa has fallen for it!
Just like how he had initially fallen into the Jade Emperor's trap.
But Nuwa had it even worse. She had actually fallen into the hands of his disciple, Yunxiao.
From now on, when Nuwa saw him, would she have to call him... Grandpa?
Thinking about it was rather thrilling.
Sect Master Tongtian could not help but smile.
Yunxiao had done beautifully.
He would have to reward her handsomely later!
Nuwa stood there with a blank expression, utterly disheveled in the night breeze.
Who am I???
Where am I???
The daughter of your sworn sister?
Your great niece?
Nuwa's mind went completely blank.
Damn it, I'm a dignified Heavenly Dao Saint!
What the hell are you, Yunxiao?!
How dare you take advantage of me?!
Nuwa was furious and tried to break free from Yunxiao's embrace.
Seeing this, Yunxiao released her, only to grip Nuwa's shoulders tightly again. With tears in her eyes and a sorrowful, heartbroken expression, she said, "Little Lunlun, don't you recognize me? I'm Auntie Yunyun. Hurry and call me Auntie."
She looked as heartbroken as could be, as concerned as could be.
The Jade Emperor and the others continued watching Yunxiao's performance with secret smiles.
Yunxiao's acting was top-notch. The Primordial Three Realms owed her a little golden statue.
Nuwa was so angry she nearly spat out blood.
Seeing Nuwa repeatedly suffer setbacks, Yunxiao sneered inwardly, though she maintained her sorrowful expression. "Hurry and call me Auntie Yunyun. Only after you call me Auntie will Great-Grandpa give you food."
As she spoke, she shot Nuwa a threatening look.
The meaning was perfectly clear: call her today whether you wanted to or not!
Otherwise, get the hell out!
Hm?! How dare she threaten me? Nuwa flew into a rage, killing intent spilling from her eyes as her body trembled with anger.
She wanted nothing more than to immediately, instantly, right now, kill Yunxiao.
"Oh my, Little Lunlun, what's wrong? Are you cold? Why are you shaking? Auntie will put a coat around you."
The more Yunxiao watched Nuwa suffer, the happier she became. She was already laughing wildly inside, yet she still wore a concerned expression. She casually took off her own outer garment and gently draped it over Nuwa's shoulders.
As Yunxiao put the coat on her, she leaned close to Nuwa's ear and threatened in a giggling whisper, "You should know that you have no magical power right now and nowhere to escape. Even if the three of us sisters can't beat you to death, Old Black beside us can bite you to death! Not to mention the Jade Emperor and the others."
"Whether you want your body and soul destroyed, or want to lower your head and call me Auntie, you decide."
Yunxiao spoke the harshest words in the gentlest tone!
Bone-chilling killing intent pierced straight into Nuwa's heart.
