Fuxi looked at Goddess Nvwa with a helpless smile, then pointed at the Creation Koi in the pond.

"Sister, do you really think that raising Creation Koi with the power of creation can bring you an opportunity?"

Caught off guard by Fuxi's sudden question, Goddess Nvwa was momentarily stunned.

"Brother, what do you mean? Didn't you strongly support me when I used the power of creation to raise the Creation Koi?"

Fuxi didn't explain, but instead pointed at Chen Xuan, who was still in a state of enlightenment.

"Although I can't be sure yet, I have a feeling in the depths of my being that the future of you and me, brother and sister, should have a great connection with this Chen Xuan."

It must be said that Fuxi was indeed worthy of being the Heavenly Emperor who could deduce the Eight Trigrams. This perception of the future alone was unmatched.

Goddess Nvwa looked at Chen Xuan with a suspicious expression. In her impression, Chen Xuan was just a young brother with a good background and a sweet mouth.

She had never thought that this Chen Xuan would bring her anything, let alone that her opportunity would be with him.

Just at this moment, Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes. Ten years immersed in the Dao韵 had once again elevated Chen Xuan's temperament.

When Chen Xuan saw Goddess Nvwa looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"Sister, why are you looking at me like that? It makes me feel a bit awkward."

Saying this, Chen Xuan pretended to lower his head, putting on a shy act.

As he lowered his head, Chen Xuan actually discovered a fluffy creature at his feet.

Moreover, there were several fish bones next to this creature. Without asking, he knew that this little guy had probably eaten all the boiled fish Chen Xuan had made.

At this moment, the fluffy little creature was sleeping soundly. After all, the power of creation possessed by the Creation Koi was not something this little guy could absorb in a short time.

Fortunately, Chen Xuan reached out and picked it up, then brought it to Goddess Nvwa.

"Sister Nvwa, look, this little guy ate your Creation Koi and actually gained a body full of the power of creation."

As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is attentive. When Goddess Nvwa heard Chen Xuan's words, the expression on her face instantly froze.

And she muttered to herself, "Possessing a body full of the power of creation... Did I really find the wrong direction?"

After a moment, a smile appeared on Goddess Nvwa's face. She reached out and took the fluffy little creature from Chen Xuan's hand.

At the same time, a gentle power of creation entered the little creature's body, waking it up from its sleep.

The little creature trembled all over as it looked at Goddess Nvwa, fearing that Goddess Nvwa would crush it to death in a fit of anger.

Goddess Nvwa said with a smile, "Counting it, you are also fated with me. Today, I shall bestow upon you the name Nine Tails. From now on, just stay by my side."

This time, it was Chen Xuan's turn to be shocked. Looking closely, the fluffy little creature indeed had nine tails. Looking at its appearance, it was clearly a Nine-Tailed Fox.

This couldn't help but make Chen Xuan recall that later historical records mentioned that this Nine-Tailed Fox was originally an auspicious beast by Goddess Nvwa's side.

It was only because it violated the commandment of lust that it was driven down from Nvwa Palace by Goddess Nvwa and became a force of the Demon Race on Qingqiu Mountain.

At the same time, the Nine-Tailed Fox let out a joyful cry and kept rubbing its small head against Goddess Nvwa.

Goddess Nvwa handed the Nine-Tailed Fox to Chen Xuan, "I suddenly had an epiphany. I'll leave this Nine-Tailed Fox with you to take care of for a few days, on behalf of your sister."

After speaking, she turned and returned to her residence to begin her secluded cultivation and comprehend the Great Dao.

Fuxi, standing to the side, said to Chen Xuan with a smile, "Perhaps one day, you will truly help your Sister Nvwa."

After speaking, Fuxi turned and returned to his residence. After all, playing the zither for ten years had also consumed a considerable amount of his energy.

Moreover, he had integrated his understanding of the Dao into the sound of the zither.

Goddess Nvwa left, and Fuxi also left. Only Chen Xuan and the Nine-Tailed Fox in his arms remained in the entire garden.

Of course, there were also a group of spirit beasts remaining in the garden.

These spirit beasts looked at Chen Xuan with grateful expressions. One of the Green-Maned Lion spirit beasts even spoke human words directly.

"Thank you, Celestial Immortal, for giving us this opportunity to listen to Great God Fuxi play the zither. Now that our intelligence has been awakened, we are willing to follow Celestial Immortal from now on."

Although there were not as many spirit beasts in the garden as there were ten years ago, there were still at least twenty or so.

At this time, those spirit beasts were all kneeling on their front paws, their heads pressed to the ground, just like humans performing a kowtow ceremony.

Chen Xuan quickly put down the Nine-Tailed Fox in his arms and waved his hand at those spirit beasts, making them stand up instantly.

"You are all heaven and earth strange beasts born from the spiritual energy of Mount Buzhou, and each of you is a unique existence. What virtue and ability do I, Chen Xuan, have to dare to let you follow me?"

Chen Xuan immediately refused, as he didn't think these spirit beasts could bring him any help.

Hearing Chen Xuan's refusal, most of the spirit beasts from Mount Buzhou sighed and left. But there were still a few who chose to stay put.

Chen Xuan didn't pay attention to them and walked directly towards the pond.

After all, he had promised Goddess Nvwa to help her raise a few fatter Creation Koi.

Arriving at the edge of the pond, he saw that there were still a dozen or so Creation Koi swimming happily inside.

However, when they saw Chen Xuan, they immediately scattered and hid behind the rocks.

It seemed that the shadow of Chen Xuan catching fish in the river more than ten years ago was still in the memories of these Creation Koi.

"What's going on? Didn't they say that a fish's memory is only seven seconds? These Creation Koi raised by Sister Nvwa actually have such good memories."

In fact, Chen Xuan had another thing he didn't say, which was that these Creation Koi, like their owner, were very vengeful.

Chen Xuan shook his head helplessly and didn't bother with them. Instead, he began to think about how to raise the Creation Koi.

He sat there, not knowing how much time had passed. But Chen Xuan still hadn't figured out how he should raise the Creation Koi.

Just then, the Nine-Tailed Fox threw a handful of soil into the pond. As the soil dissolved in the water, Chen Xuan seemed to have thought of something.

It was true that he didn't have the power of creation, but he had the Nine Heavens Breath Soil.

The Nine Heavens Breath Soil was a treasure of creation. Although it didn't possess any offensive power, the power of creation it contained was extremely strong.

Saying it and doing it, Chen Xuan immediately took out a portion of the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and mixed it with the Three Lights Divine Water, then began to stir.

Of course, Chen Xuan also added a drop of his own essence blood.

After all, he clearly remembered that when Goddess Nvwa created humans, she didn't add essence blood, and the mud figures she kneaded fell apart after only a few steps.

After preparing it, Chen Xuan, according to his memory, kneaded two koi out of the mud.

As the Nine Heavens Breath Soil in Chen Xuan's hand took shape, it instantly transformed into two lively Creation Koi, which directly jumped into the pond.
