"Gungun, what did Tongtian want with you?" Houtu asked Gungun on their flight back to the Primordial World.
She had not been particularly concerned when Tongtian dragged Gungun away, saying he needed something from the bear. She was merely a little curious. After all, this was Tongtian. Gungun probably would not let him lure the bear away; the bear's taste was not so poor as to willingly become fellow disciples with a bunch of crooked melons and cracked dates.
"The Celestial Worthy of Shangqing asked me to help him find a decent mount. As thanks, he gave me a bottle of three lights divine water. Seeing how sincere he was, I agreed," Gungun answered Houtu.
"Three lights divine water? Isn't that Yuanshi's treasure? How... Ah, Tongtian must have stolen it, while Yuanshi turned a blind eye, not bothering to make an issue of it," Houtu said.
Gungun did not think so. Perhaps Yuanshi had "accidentally" dropped it on the ground, and Tongtian had picked it up?
Stolen it?
Tongtian probably wouldn't do something like... Uh, if it was Yuanshi, then that wasn't so certain.
"Enough, these are all minor matters. Our most pressing concern is deciding how to respond to the Way of the Three Powers that Nuwa... Her Ladyship has established. She alone presides over the Three Teachings of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. Her ambition is far too great!" Dijiang interrupted Houtu and Gungun's conversation, his brow tightly furrowed and his voice heavy.
Clearly, he was in a very bad mood.
Although the present situation was much better than Nuwa establishing the Demon Teaching alone, why had the Witch Race become enemies with the Demon Race? Aside from the blood feuds accumulated over the years, was the most fundamental reason not their desire to rule the Primordial World alone
