Seeing her aunt grow angry, Tang Xiaoling immediately patted her chest and said:
"Don't worry, Auntie. Lingling is really strong!"
"Auntie Houtu said anyone who bullies Lingling will go to hell!"
Yet her words immediately triggered a keyword in the Eye of Reincarnation.
A vortex suddenly appeared in the void!
The Hell Path of the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared before them!
Strangely, this time it exerted no suction and gave off no terrifying power.
Instead, a lingering voice echoed in the Nine Heavens Goddess's mind:
"So it's you. Be sure to take good care of Lingling."
"The West has already made a move against her."
At those words, the Nine Heavens Goddess's voice turned cold again:
"You needn't concern yourself. I'll handle it."
"But what exactly did you mean by passing the Six Paths of Reincarnation on to Ling'er?"
In response to her question, Houtu merely sighed softly, and the vortex vanished.
The Nine Heavens Goddess glared resentfully at where it had been.
You vixen, don't think I don't know what you're plotting!
With me here, you won't get your way!
As the foremost goddess of war in ancient times, the Nine Heavens Goddess had an exceptionally fierce competitive streak!
Even against Lady Houtu, ruler of the Netherworld, she remained utterly fearless!
After all, when it came to origins, her own background was hardly inferior!
She herself had been born from an essence of the sun and moon after Pangu created the world!
Her master was none other than the wife of the great god Pangu!
Not to mention that she had Nuwa backing her, whom she addressed as her mistress!
Though she and Nuwa called themselves mistress and servant, they were actually as close as family.
If anything truly happened...
But at that thought, a flicker of emotion
