At the sight of the Seven-Colored Divine Stones, Jieyin and Zhunti's eyes went wide.
Had Daochen not been sitting in the hall, the two fellow disciples would have snatched it at the first opportunity.
Who cared about saving face?
Was that more important than the Buddhist Sect's rise to greatness?
But considering that Nüwa was pregnant now...
Yes!
Nüwa was pregnant now!
Jieyin and Zhunti decided it would be safer to obtain these Seven-Colored Divine Stones through negotiation.
As for what Jieyin and Zhunti were thinking...
Nüwa had no idea.
She glanced at the Seven-Colored Divine Stones in her hand, then at Daochen, before passing them to him with perfect, perfect naturalness.
Her attitude was clear: she was leaving the negotiations to Daochen.
These Seven-Colored Divine Stones were left over from when Nüwa had repaired the heavens. She had originally intended to toss them away, but a mysterious intuition told her they likely held a great opportunity.
However, with the kalpa only just dissipating, and without a suitable Xiantian Supreme Treasure at hand, that sense had remained extremely vague.
She had never expected Jieyin and Zhunti to come knocking so soon.
Of course, the two fellow disciples had come hoping to ask for it, but this was really an exchange. Without something of equal value, they could forget about taking it away.
"This..."
Seeing Nüwa hand the Seven-Colored Divine Stones to Daochen, Jieyin and Zhunti's expressions stiffened slightly.
If these Seven-Colored Divine Stones had remained in Nüwa's hands, there would still have been room for negotiation.
After all, Nüwa had founded no religious order and established no spiritual lineage. She had neither desires nor demands.
In other words, a little something would have been enough to satisfy her.
But now that these Seven-Colored Divine Stones had been given to Daochen...
