Terrifying, truly terrifying!
Houtu felt a wave of lingering fear and began to fidget.
How could I possibly have dared to call him a little imp just now?
He even dared to say the Dao Ancestor is worse than a dog!
No, I need to quickly get rid of this thought. A supreme being can say it, but I can't even think it!
The words "Saints are worse than dogs" were something no one in the entire Primordial Era dared to utter.
The will of a Saint could probe every corner of the Primordial Era with a single thought.
If anyone else said such a thing, the Saint would sense it.
Immediately, their will would descend to punish them!
However, the supreme being had said it a long time ago, and the Dao Ancestor's will had yet to descend.
Could it be that the Dao Ancestor was also wary of the supreme being?
But the Dao Ancestor had the Heavenly Dao behind him. Was there any existence in the Primordial World more powerful than the Heavenly Dao?
Could this unassuming supreme being before them be a mighty being comparable to the Heavenly Dao?
This was simply dreamlike, almost unbelievable.
Houtu covered her small mouth, afraid she might blurt something out.
The more she thought about it, the more horrified she became!
Nuwa's heart churned. This was the first time she had heard the supreme being evaluate the mighty beings of the Primordial Era.
In his eyes, the Primordial World was filled with Grand Unity beings everywhere, and Saints were worse than dogs.
Originally, the supreme being had disguised himself as an ordinary creature, believing he had fully embraced the role.
However, the supreme being had inadvertently revealed himself without realizing it.
This time, his realm was even more unfathomable to her.
Nuwa's gaze was profound, and a storm of shock raged within her, leaving her unable to calm down for a long time.
"What's wrong, ladies? Did I say something wrong?" Jiang Ping had no idea how earth-shattering his words were or how much of a shock they had brought to the two women.
Although the supreme being had spoken and there were no celestial anomalies, at this moment, regarding this topic, Nuwa and Houtu absolutely dared not speak casually again.
Their scalps tingled, and they prayed frantically in their hearts: "Supreme being, please spare us. If you say any more things like this, our Dao hearts will falter, which would be extremely dangerous for our future path to the Great Dao."
Seeing that the two women remained silent, Jiang Ping twitched his nose and casually said, "Although I am just an ordinary creature, I do know some things about the Primordial World. However, since you two ladies do not cultivate the Dao, there's no point in me saying more."
"Knowing less is actually better. If you knew too much, I fear you two ladies would despair of this world."
This statement shocked Nuwa and Houtu even more.
Was the supreme being predicting the future?
No, it wasn't a prediction!
This was a hint for us!
The supreme being must have seen through the layers of mist surrounding the future of the Primordial Era and was specifically reminding us.
He was implying that great changes would occur in the Primordial World in the future, and we needed to improve our cultivation and be prepared!
Houtu and Nuwa were immensely grateful. This trip was truly worthwhile.
This piece of information alone was incredibly precious.
They exchanged a determined glance and nodded subtly.
They clearly understood each other's intentions: this information must not be revealed to anyone!
Otherwise, the entire Primordial World would undergo a massive upheaval!
After calming their minds slightly, Nuwa quickly changed the subject. She spoke softly, "Young Master, when would be convenient for you? I plan to prepare and invite those friends over."
Jiang Ping chuckled, "There's no rush. Since you two ladies are here today, I don't have much to entertain you with. How about we have a barbecue today?"
"Barbecue?" Houtu asked in confusion.
Nuwa explained, "You don't know barbecue? It's what your little brothers often eat."
Houtu suddenly understood, thinking, What's so good about that? My Witch Clan's ordinary members eat raw meat and blood, half-cooked and bloody, which looks truly unappetizing.
Jiang Ping was taken aback, "You've had barbecue too?"
Nuwa and Houtu nodded.
Nuwa was different from Houtu. She deeply understood the power of the supreme being before her.
He often acted extraordinarily while disguised as an ordinary creature.
Without using a trace of his power, he could turn the mundane into the miraculous, accomplishing things that she couldn't even do with her full strength.
"Hehe, you should try the barbecue I make today. It's delicious. I rarely eat it myself because the ingredients are too hard to find."
Houtu and Nuwa were overjoyed. The supreme being was hinting at something.
Our chance to shine has arrived.
The esteemed guest truly has an extraordinary demeanor, always thinking of us.
He intentionally gave us a chance to prove ourselves, as we've benefited from his kindness for no reason.
The esteemed guest was worried we'd be burdened by this karma, so he gave us some hints to resolve it ourselves!
Houtu quickly asked, "Young Master, what other ingredients do you need?"
Jiang Ping chuckled, "Actually, I've prepared some common ingredients, but we're lacking meat."
"You know, without suitable meat, delicious barbecue is quite a shame."
Houtu asked in confusion, "Meat? May I ask what kind of meat is suitable?"
"Naturally, it should be rare and wild. For example, Da Huang here is very suitable, but Xiao Bai is far from it," Jiang Ping explained with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Da Huang immediately tucked his tail between his legs and scurried to a corner.
Is Master fattening me up to slaughter me?
Wasn't Master joking before?
Da Huang whimpered, trembling.
Jiang Ping laughed heartily, "Silly dog, look at you trembling."
Houtu pondered, this so-called Da Huang is just an ordinary creature, but it's quite large.
Oh, I understand now.
The esteemed guest means something as large as Da Huang, and a rarer species.
Yes, a Demonic Beast.
No wonder the esteemed guest waited for me to arrive before mentioning barbecue.
He must have seen through my Ancestor Witch identity and knew we had friction with the Demon Race, and were thus more familiar with them.
That's why he hinted for me to catch a Demonic Beast.
The esteemed guest is truly omniscient, orchestrating everything without a ripple.
"Young Master, I know where to find the meat you mentioned. Please wait a moment, I'll be right back," Houtu volunteered.
Jiang Ping hesitated, "Miss Wu, hunting alone can be very dangerous. Why don't I accompany you?"
Houtu laughed heartily, "Young Master, have you forgotten my divine power from before?"
Jiang Ping thought about it, he almost forgot. A little danger wouldn't trouble this incredibly strong, silly girl at all. The wild beasts probably do their best to avoid her.
Nuwa also smiled and said, "Young Master, please don't worry. We'll just wait a moment. Allow my sister to bring back a couple of delicious Demonic Beasts for us."
"Demonic Beasts!" Jiang Ping exclaimed in shock!
Nuwa also froze. Damn, I almost let it slip.
"That absolutely won't do. Demonic Beasts are not like wild beasts. As far as I know, some powerful Demonic Beasts possess innate divine abilities."
Houtu said dismissively, "Young Master, don't worry. I'll be careful and won't foolishly seek out those powerful Demonic Beasts."
Jiang Ping said hesitantly, "Alright then, be careful yourself."
Seeing that Jiang Ping didn't object further, Nuwa finally relaxed.
