Nuwa Takes a Brother, Though I Was Here First...
"Glazed Sunlight Lamp" was just a name Wu Chu came up with on the spur of the moment. A glass lamp holding the Solar Essence Fire —isn't that just a 'fluorescent lamp'?
Just to make it easier to distinguish, I added the word "Liu Li" in front of the name.
Little Moon Spirit and the others didn't really care about the name, but Yibao couldn't help but complain and immediately looked down on him, saying she'd never seen such a terrible name picker.
Thinking back to when Yibao chose names like "Hua Yi and Hua Er," Wu Chu Chuyi sternly told her that she had no right to laugh at others.
This Phoenix Bird should have the cultivation level of the Taiyi Realm. Its phoenix feathers are actually treasures, but Fuxi found them annoying and disgusting, so he stubbornly discarded them.
They certainly had the right to be willful, but Wu Chu didn't mind at all. He just wanted to keep the item for now, as long as the Phoenix Clan didn't find out.
These Phoenix Feather could be made into 'Phoenix Feather Garment' or 'Phoenix Feather Fan'! Although the quality of this Phoenix Bird's feathers might not be very good for powerful beings like Fuxi, Wu Chu did not mind.
In any case, it's still better than that Azure Dragon from back then, isn't it?!
"I never expected that Fellow Daoist Hongyun and the others' original plan would actually succeed!"
Looking at the Little Flower Fairies serving them, Nuwa couldn't help but sigh, and curiously reached out to touch the little face of the Little Flower Fairies next to her.
The Little Flower Fairies shrank her head shyly, blinking her big eyes and looking at Nuwa curiously. She wasn't one of the Little Flower Fairies in Hua Feier's group, so she didn't know about Nuwa and Fuxi, who were siblings, but Hua Feier and the others did.
Wu Chu smiled and nodded, then briefly recounted the Little Flower Fairies' growth experience, concluding, "Thanks to the efforts of Sister Houtu and Sister Qingqiu, those Little Flower Fairies now finally have their own cultivation methods that can compensate for their inherent deficiencies."
Upon hearing this, Fuxi and Nuwa couldn't help but glance at Qingqiu Li again, seemingly surprised that this Qingqiu Fox would do such a thing, and that she was so familiar with Wu Chu.
Nuwa blinked, then looked at Wu Chu, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised. "You call them 'sister,' so why do you call me 'fellow Daoist'? What? Do you look down on me?"
Fuxi, standing to the side, hummed in agreement, his brows furrowing slightly, as if to tell Wu Chu: That's enough! Don't try to take advantage of me!
Although Fuxi's small movements weren't significant, his "hmm" drew everyone's attention, and then Nuwa called out "brother" meaningfully.
The voice sounded somewhat like a coquettish tone, yet also carried a hint of threat. Others might not have noticed, but Fuxi understood perfectly.
He then coughed lightly and said, "Don't worry, little sister. If he dares not call you 'sister,' I'll break his legs! Actually, what I was trying to say was that since he calls you 'sister,' he should also call me 'elder brother.' Little brother, are you willing?"
"..."
Wu Chu had long known that Fuxi had no principles in front of Nuwa, but he just hadn't expected Fuxi to be so utterly despicable!
"Sister, elder brother, of course I'm willing, but..."
But with Fuxi, that die-hard sister-obsessed guy, watching from the sidelines like a hawk, who would dare to make a sound!
"But why? Am I unworthy? Unqualified?"
Judging from Nuwa's tone, she seems to harbor quite a bit of resentment.
Wu Chu had no idea that Nuwa was harboring a deep resentment, thinking, "I was here first, but..."
She was the one who treated Wu Chu like a younger brother first, which is why she introduced Houtu here, hoping that Wu Chu could get some benefits from Houtu.
But now it seems that the relationship between Wu Chu and Houtu is closer than that between them and Wu Chu, especially with a fox spirit present.
The more Nuwa thought about it, the more resentful Nuwa became. Why should she get the credit?!
If it were anyone else, she wouldn't care, but Wu Chu was someone with a similar bloodline to them, and she had long regarded him as her own clansman and family.
Therefore, if Fuxi were to interfere at this time, she would get angry.
Fortunately, Fuxi knew his sister's temperament and stopped himself from going too far in time.
"Sister, what are you saying!" Wu Chu smiled wryly and said, "It's just that both you and my elder brother are great masters, while my cultivation is shallow. I am truly ashamed."
Nuwa chuckled upon hearing this, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said, "Speaking of which, you have a trace of blood similar to mine within you. In terms of kinship, we should be closer."
Upon hearing Nuwa's words, both Qingqiu Li and Houtu looked towards Wu Chu.
Wu Chu coughed lightly and said, "Perhaps it's a coincidence! But if we're talking about blood relations, Sister Nuwa is indeed more like my biological sister."
Wu Chu stood up, picked up his teacup, approached Nuwa, bowed, and offered her tea. "Sister, please have some tea. From now on, you are my elder sister."
Wu Chu emphasized the words "older sister" specifically for Fuxi to hear, so that the brother who was obsessed with his sister wouldn't overthink it.
Upon hearing this, Nuwa blinked, smiled, took the tea, took a sip, and asked, "Is there any explanation for this?"
Wu Chu smiled and said, "There's no particular saying. This is called tea, and serving tea in this way is a sign of respect for elders. I felt it would be more solemn this way, and it's also out of respect for my sister, so I did it this way."
As he spoke, he picked up another cup and respectfully handed it to Fuxi, saying, "Brother, please have some tea!"
Although Fuxi was unwilling, since his sister Nuwa had drunk it, wouldn't he, as the elder brother, anger his sister if he didn't?
So even though he was reluctant, he took the teacup and silently took a sip.
As for Wu Chu's so-called "older sister," Fuxi wasn't oblivious to it. But in Fuxi Xi's eyes, who was a sister-obsessed brother, did it really matter whether she was a sister or not? In the eyes of a sister-obsessed brother, any male creature that got close to his younger sister was someone who needed to be excluded.
Qingqiu Li and Houtu watched this scene with smiles on their faces. For a moment, they glanced at each other simultaneously before subtly looking away.
"Congratulations to you two fellow Daoists on gaining a younger brother! And congratulations to A Chu as well!" Qingqiu Li raised her wine cup and smiled, "I'd like to offer a toast to the three of you! Cheers!"
Nuwa naturally wouldn't refuse. After drinking the cup, she took out a bead from her sleeve and handed it to Wu Chu, saying, "My brother, this is for you; you'll find it useful."
When Wu Chu saw the bead, he was stunned for a moment, having initially thought it was the Lingzhu!
But after experiencing its aura, I appreciated it and accepted it.
If it were that Lingzhu, or something else, he might have refused, or been polite to Nuwa. But this pearl, which clearly carried the power of the Metal Origin, was something Wu Chu wouldn't be polite about, since he was currently only missing the Metal Origin.
When Fuxi saw Nuwa presenting him with a gift, he couldn't help but reach into his sleeve.
