The Big Shots Were on the Move, and He Was Wide Awake
Fuxi silently pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly, "Let's continue our seclusion! This time, the arrival of a great treasure seems to reveal a clear heavenly secret, but in reality, it conceals deadly dangers."
Nuwa frowned slightly, then exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Where did Houtu Daoist Houtu's little tribe go? It's vanished!"
While Fuxi was deducing the secrets of heaven, Nuwa had already sensed the general situation near Mount Buzhou. When she sensed the disappearance of the Houtu Tribe, she was somewhat taken aback.
Fuxi found this somewhat strange, and finally said, "They probably felt threatened by the Qilin Royal Court, so they moved away! The Qilin Clan is so powerful, it's not surprising!"
Nuwa nodded upon hearing this, then closed her eyes and spread her Divine Sense outwards.
After a short while, she opened her eyes and sighed softly, "So it really is a migration of the entire clan. I see. There are more and more beings joining the Qilin Royal Court! Brother, why don't we go out for a walk? We've been in seclusion for tens of thousands of years!"
"..."
As for her younger sister who doesn't like staying at home... well, it's not that Nuwa doesn't like staying at home, she's been doing it for tens of thousands of years!
"I'm really craving the food from Purple Jade Mountain, brother. How about we go Purple Jade Mountain and eat our fill for hundreds or even thousands of years? I'm sure you won't mind, fellow Daoist."
He doesn't mind, but I do!
Upon hearing this, Fuxi's sister-complex kicked in, and he immediately shook his head. "Sister! We can't treat Fellow Daoist like this! Fellow Daoist's cultivation is low, and it's not easy for him to accumulate any wealth. If we keep eating at his place for so long, he'll be bankrupted by us."
"It's alright, we can bring our own ingredients!" Nuwa waved her hand, making a decision to leave immediately. Without waiting for Fuxi's objection, she took his hand and they fled straight out of Phoenix-Perching Mountain. "Let's go! The more I talk about it, the more I miss that little Little Moon Spirit. What an adorable girl! If only I had taken her as my disciple back then and brought her to Phoenix-Perching Mountain!"
"..."
Fuxi, being dragged along by Nuwa, had a furrowed brow.
Qingqiu Li, who was in seclusion in Qingqiu, also woke up. The secrets of heaven were disturbed by the aura of the great treasure descending upon the world, and she could no longer find the feeling of quietly comprehending the Great Dao of heaven and earth.
"What kind of treasure is this that its aura can so disturb the secrets of heaven?" Qingqiu Li silently got up and began to stroll around the Qingqiu Grassland.
After strolling around for a while, she summoned the two large foxes and gave them some instructions, "I'm going to Purple Jade Mountain to enjoy some delicious food. If you have any urgent business, you can come find me Purple Jade Mountain. But I doubt it will be anything important. While I'm gone, activate the Mountain Protection Array and ignore everyone else!"
"Yes, Ancestor!"
Qingqiu Li, with her hands behind her back and barefoot, hopped around on the grass. But remembering that there were two large foxes watching behind her, she took two more steps, pretending to be composed, before her figure disappeared, leaving behind the words, "In this world, only delicious food should not be missed."
Actually, Wu Chu said that to her, and she thought it was a good thing.
This is the perfect way to appease these two big foxes.
Jade Capital Mountain, the place where Ancestor Hongjun secluded himself.
The ancestor was silently calculating with his fingers, and after a long while, he sighed softly, "A great treasure has appeared in the world, disrupting the secrets of heaven. Such abnormality suggests that someone has secretly tampered with things, and their ambitions are far-reaching!"
The patriarch pondered for a moment, then stood up and said to the two boys and girls guarding outside, "I am going out for a while. You two must guard the cave well and not be mischievous."
The boy opened his mouth as if to speak, but the girl glanced at him and then asked in a clear voice, "Master, are you going to Purple Jade Mountain to enjoy the delicious food? Could you take me along to experience that cuisine as well?"
The gate to the patriarch's secluded cultivation spot was wide open, and the patriarch emerged, tapping the two men on the head with his whisk. "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have told you those things when I came back last time."
How dare you question whether your master is hoarding his food? You deserve a beating!
The little girl held her head in her hands, pouted, and said, "Master is biased! Last time, Senior Brother Haotian went on a trip, but I've never even left Jade Capital Mountain in all my years!"
The patriarch flicked his whisk, calculated with his fingers, and said, "Very well! If you two really want to go out and see the world, that's fine too! But remember, you two must return to Jade Capital Mountain within ten thousand years, or don't blame me for punishing you!"
"Mmm... hehe, thank you, Master!"
As the girl spoke, she made faces at the boy beside her with great enthusiasm.
The boy turned around expressionlessly, a slight smile playing on his lips, and asked, "Master, how long will it be before you return this time? I need to calculate the time carefully so I don't miss my journey home."
"I must go to the north to investigate some matters. The time is uncertain. You two may travel and make friends, but you must not reveal anything about my Jade Capital Mountain."
"Don't worry, Master, we understand!"
So, after Ancestor Hongjun left Jade Capital Mountain, the little boy and the little girl packed up and skipped away from Jade Capital Mountain.
"Senior brother, do you know how to get to Purple Jade Mountain?"
"The exact location isn't clear, but Master mentioned that he traveled eastward, so it should be somewhere in the eastern lands! Let's head east first and ask around along the way."
Wu Chu, who was in Purple Jade Mountain, was naturally unaware of everything that was happening in the outside world, and even less aware that so many future big shots would come to his Purple Jade Mountain for a meager meal.
To say they're greedy wouldn't be entirely true, after all, some have never tasted anything delicious, while others haven't eaten for tens of thousands of years.
As for Qingqiu Li, it's perfectly normal for neighbors to visit each other!
After Houtu returned, she ran to Purple Jade Mountain and asked Little Moon Spirit to cook something delicious for her.
However, she did not tell him about the imminent arrival of the great treasure, since even their Witch Clan dared not get involved in such a matter, and telling Wu Chu would be of no use.
Houtu was also puzzled. What kind of precious treasure could possibly stir up the secrets of heaven and make everyone aware that it was about to be born?
Seeing Houtu's thoughtful expression as she ate the grape wine-fried pork chops that Little Moon Spirit had personally prepared, Wu Chu wondered anxiously if she was still thinking about that hug.
"Sister, has Little Moon Spirit's cooking skill deteriorated?"
While pouring her a glass of Spirit-Patterned Nai Wine, Wu Chu tentatively asked her a question.
Houtu snapped out of her reverie, silently making two cuts with her chopsticks on the pork chop, which then broke into neat slices. "Oh! I was thinking about something else! I almost let Little Moon Spirit kindness and this delicious food. I'm truly ashamed!"
"Sister, is something troubling you? You can tell me. Although I'm not very capable, I'm quite clever, and I might be able to give you some advice!"
Houtu smiled and shook her head upon hearing this, "This matter concerns the Three Clans, and can even be said to involve the vast majority of powerful beings in the Primordial Land. It is not something we can casually participate in."
Upon hearing Houtu's words, Wu Chu was immediately wide awake.
