In the mortal realm, Zhang Yifan's little farmhouse courtyard.
A fine show was underway.
Yunxiao threatened Saint Nuwa. "Do you want to die, or lower your head? Choose for yourself!"
"Oh my, these clothes fit perfectly. They suit you so well."
After draping the clothes over Nuwa, Yunxiao could not help praising her. Then she grew sorrowful again. "You remind me of your mother. Your mother used to drape clothes over me like this too. She was such a wonderful sister. Why did she suddenly leave? Boohoohoo..."
Fuck you!
Nuwa was so furious that the corners of her mouth twitched and her eyes blazed with fire. Yet deep down, she truly felt conflicted, flustered, and even somewhat afraid.
Just as Yunxiao had said, she currently possessed none of a saint's divine power. Her body was frail, and two fists could not fight four hands.
She believed Yunxiao would definitely show her no mercy.
During the Investiture of the Gods Calamity, their two sides had been enemies. Now that Yunxiao had a chance for revenge, would she possibly let it go?
Once she entered this courtyard, she was like a lamb awaiting slaughter!
Forget it. A man had to bow his head under another's roof.
Take one step back, and the sea would be wide and the sky vast. She could even obtain that unknown great opportunity.
Nuwa comforted herself.
With that thought, Nuwa gritted her teeth and softly said, "Thank you, Auntie."
"Ah!" Yunxiao was overjoyed and laughed heartily. "Little Lunlun, you finally remembered Auntie Yunyun!"
"Yes, Auntie Yunyun." Nuwa called out through clenched teeth, wishing she could eat Yunxiao alive.
Yunxiao laughed uproariously. "Hahahaha, wonderful! Little Lunlun, Auntie Yunyun thought you had become insane and didn't recognize me anymore! I'm so happy to see you."
You're the damn lunatic! Nuwa cursed furiously in her heart, but there was nothing she could do. She did not dare resist at all!
Sect Master Tongtian, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the others' eyes lit up.
Damn, not bad!
She got her!
Everyone could not help laughing.
"Hahahaha, aunt and niece reunited. Today is a good day."
"Yes, yes, it's so touching!"
As they laughed and applauded, everyone gave Yunxiao a thumbs-up.
Qiongxiao, Bixiao, and the Seven Fairies were even so moved that they shed tears.
Pfft!
Seeing everyone ridicule her like this, Nuwa felt sweetness rise in her throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.
But it did not come out. She forcefully swallowed it back down.
So moved. I'm so damn moved. Nuwa's eyes filled with tears.
Yunxiao had done a brilliant job! Yang Jian and Taibai Jinxing slapped their thighs and laughed, nearly laughing themselves to tears.
"Wonderful, aunt and niece have been reunited. Great-Grandpa is happy for you too. Hahaha." Zhang Yifan was also delighted.
The reunion of family naturally moved people.
Nuwa, on the other hand, wanted to cry but had no tears. Sorrow surged through her heart like a river in flood.
"Come, come, come. Little Lunlun, sit down and eat." Zhang Yifan pulled Nuwa down to sit.
"Little Lunlun, Auntie Qiongqiong will serve you some rice." Qiongxiao secretly laughed as she filled a bowl of rice for Nuwa.
"Little Lunlun, here, Auntie Bibi will get you some lamb. Eat more vegetables." Bixiao eagerly joined in.
"Little Lunlun, Uncle Mingming will pour you a cup of hot water." Zhao Gongming warmly poured Nuwa a cup of hot water as well.
Seeing everyone so enthusiastic, each of them stepping on Nuwa's seniority while elevating their own, Sect Master Tongtian and the Jade Emperor secretly laughed.
Qilin Old Ancestor Big Black Dog also stuck out his tongue, panting and snickering.
The entire little courtyard—human and dog alike—was laughing. Only Nuwa silently wept, licking her wounds alone.
"Little Lunlun, hurry and thank your aunties and uncle." Yunxiao struck Nuwa with another devastating blow.
???
Saint Nuwa thought, I'm exhausted. Just destroy everything already.
"Little Lunlun, be good~ Hurry and thank your aunties and uncle." Yunxiao reached out and smoothed Nuwa's disheveled hair.
She seemed gentle, but murderous intent lurked beneath the surface.
Nuwa was about to cry. She glanced at Yunxiao, then said to Qiongxiao, Bixiao, and Zhao Gongming, "Thank you, Auntie Qiongqiong. Thank you, Auntie Bibi. Thank you, Uncle Mingming."
"Good, good, good! Hahahaha!"
Qiongxiao, Bixiao, Zhao Gongming, and the others burst into laughter.
Being called auntie and uncle by a Heavenly Dao Saint made them feel utterly refreshed and exhilarated.
Even a mighty Heavenly Dao Saint had to call me Auntie! Had to call me Uncle!
Amazing!
Fucking amazing!
They had not felt this satisfied since the Investiture of the Gods Calamity!
"Enough. Let Little Lunlun wash up and change into a fresh set of clothes."
Zhang Yifan waved his hand, stopping Yunxiao, Yang Jian, and the others from teasing Saint Nuwa further, and instead told Nuwa to change out of her filthy clothes.
Everyone could only wait for Nuwa to wash up and change.
Before long, Nuwa had changed.
"Oh? Little Lunlun may not be breathtakingly beautiful, but she's quite pretty. She's just so starving that her face is yellow and thin."
Seeing the freshly washed and changed Nuwa, Zhang Yifan praised her as well.
Yunxiao and the others shook their heads. She was far more than breathtakingly beautiful—Nuwa herself was one of the most renowned beauties in the Primordial World.
However, no one bothered admiring her.
Among the women present, who was not an unmatched beauty herself?
Yunxiao, the Seven Fairies, and the others thought.
Yang Jian, Zhao Gongming, and the others, meanwhile, were inwardly delighted. Having suppressed Nuwa in status and seniority felt incomparably satisfying. Even while eating, they no longer wolfed down their food, instead savoring every delicacy.
This feeling was incredible!
After being tormented for so long, Nuwa had long since had enough.
Now that she had washed and changed, she began putting this ridiculous matter of seniority aside and stared at the food in her bowl, her heart churning.
Then she took a huge bite.
Delicious!
So damn delicious!
Only after eating it did she realize just how rich the Fragments of Great Dao Laws contained in this food were!
She had never felt Great Dao Laws so clearly anywhere in the Primordial World!
Nuwa was shocked and thrilled.
Her saintly cultivation, which had not advanced in a million years, had actually begun to loosen!
Nuwa no longer cared about anything else. Her chopsticks moved like racing legs, shoveling food into her mouth like lightning.
Even when she could no longer swallow, she still stuffed more in, her cheeks bulging. She looked exactly like a starving ghost.
"Slow down, slow down. Don't choke." Zhang Yifan gently patted Nuwa's back.
Nuwa nodded, but her hands did not stop moving.
In a whirlwind, she devoured every dish placed before her.
After finishing the food in front of her, Nuwa snatched the dishes before Yunxiao and brought them over as well.
"Don't steal food, Little Lunlun." Yunxiao glared at her.
Nuwa said, "Auntie Yunyun, I'm too hungry. I begged outside for three years and never once had a full meal."
Fuck this.
Just keep pretending!
Yunxiao rolled her eyes inwardly.
After Nuwa finished eating, she snatched the dishes before Qiongxiao and brought them to herself.
Qiongxiao's eyes widened. Her own bowl contained plenty of food, but Nuwa could not act like this.
Fine, it was only a plate of food. Great-Grandpa had plenty here.
She would deal with Nuwa later.
The corners of Qiongxiao's lips curled into a smile.
Zhang Yifan, the Jade Emperor, Sect Master Tongtian, and the others acted as if it did not matter.
They drank little cups of wine, ate little bites of meat, and admired the night sky and scenery, utterly at ease.
After finishing the meal, Nuwa was truly stuffed.
She really could not eat another bite.
Immense Fragments of Great Dao Laws surged within her body. She felt that if she ate a few more mouthfuls, she would have no choice but to run off and circulate her cultivation technique to absorb this majestic energy.
Nuwa did not want to run away at a time like this.
"Little Lunlun, are you full?" Yang Jian walked over at that moment, a smile on his lips.
"Mhm, I'm full." Nuwa nodded.
"It's good that you're full." Yang Jian held a cup of tea and smilingly offered it to Nuwa. "Grandpa Yang brewed you a cup of tea. Here, drink some to settle your stomach."
"Alright." Nuwa nodded mechanically, then suddenly came to her senses.
Huh???
Grandpa Yang?
Who the hell was Yang Jian supposed to be?
How dare he make this saint call him Grandpa?
Nuwa's eyes widened. Killing intent roiled in her heart, and she was about to reveal a vicious expression.
"This is Enlightenment Tea."
Yang Jian smiled at Nuwa and casually added another sentence.
???
The killing intent in Nuwa's heart abruptly stalled, and her gaze shifted to the tea.
My heavens, this really was Enlightenment Tea!
Nuwa was startled.
Yang Jian actually had Enlightenment Tea?
This was an incredible treasure.
Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun only possessed a tiny pinch of it! He was reluctant to let anyone drink it.
Thinking this, Nuwa reached out to take the cup, but Yang Jian pulled it back again.
"Call me Grandpa Yang first." Yang Jian teased.
Nuwa: ...Don't push it, kid!
"Hurry and call him, Little Lunlun. You can't be so disrespectful to your elders." Seeing this, Yunxiao joined Yang Jian's side and gave Nuwa a gentle push.
What do you mean, disrespectful to elders?!
Nuwa's heart shattered. Every junior could now step on her head.
Being a saint was truly humiliating.
"Mmm~ What fragrant Enlightenment Tea." Yang Jian lifted the tea and sniffed it, deliberately making an exaggerated expression.
"If you won't drink it, I will." Yang Jian provoked her again.
Nuwa closed her eyes, steeled herself, and shouted, "Grandpa Yang!"
"Ah, good Little Lunlun! Hahahaha!" Yang Jian laughed loudly!
Everyone else snickered too. Yang Jian was truly an amusing fellow.
Well done!
Nuwa was so angry that she hurriedly snatched the Enlightenment Tea and drank it in one gulp.
"Come, come, tea's ready."
At that very moment, Zhang Yifan came out carrying a huge bucket of Enlightenment Tea and poured every person a large bowl!
Fuck!
So everyone got some!
Nuwa spat out another mouthful of blood. Yang Jian had actually tricked her again!
"Hahahaha!" Yang Jian laughed even more gleefully.
The Three Xiaos, Taibai Jinxing, Zhao Gongming, and the others laughed so hard they bent over, their stomachs aching.
Qilin Old Ancestor Big Black Dog rolled around all over the ground with laughter.
"Little Lunlun, don't think I'm taking advantage of you. Those three, along with Little Mingming, all call me Uncle."
Yang Jian pointed at the Three Xiaos and Zhao Gongming, then said to Nuwa, "Since you call Little Yunyun Auntie, you naturally have to call me Grandpa."
"There's nothing wrong with that seniority, right?"
"That's right." Zhao Gongming nodded.
Nuwa: ...
Fine, she would endure it!
Nuwa did not argue any further.
"Little Lunlun, you have to call me Grandma too." Princess Tianshou of the Seven Fairies perked up at that moment and smiled at Nuwa.
I!!!
Nuwa was about to collapse.
Was this ever going to end?
"Me too, me too!"
The other six princesses also came over to join the fun.
How could they possibly pass up the chance to tease Nuwa and put this Saint in her place?
"I..."
Nuwa felt her blood rush straight to her head. Her vision went black, and she nearly fainted on the spot.
The Seventh Fairy hurriedly supported Nuwa and said with a grin, "Don't be afraid, Little Lunlun. Seventh Grandma's holding you."
"Why, thank you so much!" Nuwa gritted her teeth.
"Good granddaughter, it's fine. No need to be polite with Seventh Grandma~" the Seventh Fairy said with a giggle.
"Ah~" Nuwa tilted her head back and sighed, looking utterly haggard.
Being mixed up with this bunch was simply more terrifying than a mortal encountering demons.
They were too much.
Let it all be destroyed. Saints, calamities—none of it mattered anymore.
Destroy it already. Hurry up.
After all this, even Nuwa's Saintly Dao Heart had nearly shattered.
The Seven Fairies and the Three Xiaos all burst into hearty laughter.
Seeing this group laughing and joking around, Zhang Yifan felt happy too, warmth filling his heart.
This lively scene was just like the New Year.
It had been a long time since there had been anything like it.
