Nüwa gazed eagerly at Daochen.
Daochen, however, frowned and asked her, "What did you just say, fellow Daoist? My mind wandered for a moment, and I forgot."
Seeing Daochen deliberately play dumb with her, Nüwa blazed with fury. She wanted nothing more than to rush over and tear him apart!!!
Forcing down the urge to crush Daochen to death, she took a deep breath and said, "I can accept all the conditions you proposed. After becoming a Sage, I am willing to become your Dao Companion, and even moving to the Sun Star would be fine. But there is one thing: please do not interfere too much with my freedom."
With that, Nüwa stared at Daochen with her beautiful eyes wide, her face full of expectation.
I've agreed to everything you said.
Surely you should give me the Three Treasures I need to attain the Dao now!
What Nüwa had not expected was for Daochen to blink and look at her in confusion. "What Dao Companion? What restrictions on your freedom? What a muddle. If you wish to attain the Dao and become a Sage, that is fine, but I want you to give me half the fortune of the race you create. In exchange, I will give you these Three Treasures."
"..."
Have I been played???
Nüwa's breathing grew heavy, and her expression gradually turned icy. Her gaze at Daochen practically spat fire.
Noticing that this haughty little Nüwa looked ready to explode, Daochen smiled unconcernedly and spoke.
"Perhaps I was not clear enough earlier and caused you to misunderstand, fellow Daoist Nüwa. Allow me to apologize."
Ah!!!
I want to kill someone so badly!!!
I want to crush this Daochen to death!!!!
She had agonized for thousands of years over whether to agree to become Daochen's Dao Companion.
