Primordial Wilderness: I Am Hong Yun, Starting with a Saint Position for a Wife Section 5

Hong Yun raised his head and looked at Hou Tu's graceful back.

As if sensing Hong Yun's gaze, Hou Tu actually turned around at that moment and flashed him a radiant smile.

"Thump!"

Hong Yun's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

A saying abruptly surfaced in his mind:

Keep the people and lose the land, and both people and land can be preserved;

Keep the land and lose the people, and both people and land will be lost!

If he became Dao Companions with Hou Tu, wouldn't he have a chance to obtain all the options from the earlier draw?

People were what mattered most!

What's more, Hou Tu was destined to become a Saint.

With a Saint wife backing him up, Hong Yun would be able to speak with a little more backbone in the Primordial Wilderness from now on!

As for losing his standing in the family?

Impossible!

His teeth were damn good—he could eat soft rice hard!

And as for the Witch-Demon Calamity, he would cross that bridge when he came to it!

If he hadn't suddenly had a flash of inspiration this time and given his seat to Hou Tu, he might have followed the original course of events.

Before the Witch-Demon Calamity even arrived, he would have been harmed by Kun Peng!

Fine, it was settled!

"I choose Hou Tu!"

Hong Yun, who had been hesitating until moments ago, immediately voiced his choice to the system.

Great Dao Karma System:

"Ding!"

"The host has selected the reward!"

After the two notification chimes, the system quietly vanished.

Hong Yun was puzzled. That was it?

But how exactly was the system supposed to handle this?

Hong Yun remembered that there was another strange treasure in the Primordial Wilderness called the Red Thread of Marriage, which originated from Nu Wa's Red Embroidered Ball.

Could the system tie a Red Thread of Marriage around the two of them?

Just as Hong Yun was truly wondering about it, Hou Tu received a voice transmission from Xuanming.

"Big Sister Hou Tu, could it be that Hong Yun is interested in you?"

Hou Tu immediately refuted her.

"How could that be?"

"Didn't you hear what I said just now? Hong Yun calculated that he wouldn't be able to grasp this opportunity himself, so he gave it to me!"

Though she said that, a ripple unexpectedly stirred in Hou Tu's heart.

A strange feeling rose within her.

"But there are so many mighty figures in Purple Cloud Palace. Why did he pick me of all people?"

A question involuntarily arose in Hou Tu's heart, and she could not help turning back to glance at Hong Yun again.

At that very moment, Hong Yun suppressed the doubts in his heart and raised his head.

Their eyes met once more!

Hong Yun gave Hou Tu a faint smile, revealing a standard eight teeth!

Hou Tu had already been feeling strange inside. Now, seeing Hong Yun smile so sweetly at her, her heart immediately began pounding.

Like a startled little rabbit, she abruptly turned her head away to evade Hong Yun's gaze.

Her face flushed scarlet all the way to her ears!

Hong Yun's eyes lit up when he saw Hou Tu's reaction.

"Is the system really this effective?"

"In my previous life, White Cloud Black Soil was a famous pairing. Now that I've got Hong Yun and Hou Tu, that's not bad either!"

If he still didn't realize from Hou Tu's appearance that the system had already begun working, Hong Yun would have let down all the countless melodramatic TV dramas he had watched in his previous life.

Wasn't this how they always played out in TV dramas?

When a woman began to fall for someone, this bashful look was always the first sign.

Feeling that the system might already be at work, Hong Yun finally relaxed.

His face split into a cheerful grin!

"That's true. Matters of the heart are even more intangible—it couldn't exactly stuff Hou Tu straight into my arms, could it?"

"Good food isn't afraid of being served late; haste won't get you hot tofu!"

Hong Yun was in an excellent mood. Not only had he resolved the crisis that was about to arrive, but he had also gained a Dao Companion destined to become a Saint.

Just as he was secretly savoring his happiness, two figures entered the great hall.

They walked straight past the many Innate Deities seated cross-legged, heading to the very front.

They were none other than Jieyin and Zhun Ti!

Hong Yun immediately heightened his guard, his brows drawing together.

Sure enough, the moment Zhun Ti saw the six Prayer Mats at the very front, a glint flashed through his eyes.

"Hm? Why are there Prayer Mats farther back as well?"

Zhun Ti looked at where Hong Yun and the Ancestral Shamans were seated, somewhat puzzled.

But he soon noticed that the two kinds of Prayer Mats were different.

The six Prayer Mats at the very front possessed a mysterious charm that the others entirely lacked.

He instantly concluded:

The seats at the very front of Purple Cloud Palace must hold a great opportunity!

With a thought, he covered his face and burst into tears!

"Alas! My brother and I have come from the West, across such a long journey. We finally had the chance to hear a Saint's teachings, only to arrive too late and find no seats left..."

Hou Tu shifted slightly.

"So this was why Hong Yun gave up his seat for me?"

Jieyin and Zhun Ti did not dare provoke the Three Pure Ones or Nu Wa.

The Three Pure Ones were one body, their strength formidable.

And Nu Wa was no weaker than them either. Behind her, Fuxi was already frowning as he looked toward Zhun Ti.

Only Kun Peng and Hou Tu appeared somewhat lacking in strength!

At this time, Hongjun had only just become a Saint, and neither the shamans nor the demons had yet established their clans.

Jieyin and Zhun Ti had remained in the West all this time, so they were unfamiliar with Hou Tu.

Thus, they merely stood beside Kun Peng and Hou Tu without moving.

Their mouths kept chattering away, their wailing ringing around their ears until both Kun Peng and Hou Tu could not help but frown.

Watching the two of them, Hong Yun found it almost laughable.

"Hongjun the Saint sent out his message, and it wasn't first come, first served. He gave everyone three thousand years to prepare. If you didn't get ready in advance and set out early, who can you blame?"

"You couldn't even make it in time to eat shit while it was still hot!"

"You two deserve to have arrived late and found no seats!"

Besides, why should you two be guaranteed seats?

Is your father Li Gang or something?

In this vast Purple Cloud Palace, with three thousand Innate Deities, weren't they all quietly sitting on the ground?

Only you, Jieyin and Zhun Ti, can't sit on the ground?

Without seats, you can't understand Hongjun's sermon, is that it?

Weren't you just able to tell that these seats held a tremendous opportunity?
