Di Jun had no choice but to deal with Liu Mang, who knew nothing and refused to speak again.
He could only take him back to where Nu Wa was recuperating.
At this moment, the ten great Demon Gods and the Ancestor Witches were still exchanging insults!
Tai Yi did not join the Demon Gods, but stood aside, lost in thought.
On the Witch Tribe's side, Hou Tu also stood still, unsure of what she was thinking.
Seeing Di Jun return, Tai Yi quickly stepped forward and pointed towards Nu Wa's location, "Big Brother, Nu Wa is about to wake up."
"Mmm, I can feel it!" Di Jun said, his eyes looking in another direction.
Tai Yi looked at Di Jun, who seemed unconcerned about Nu Wa, "How did it turn out like this? We didn't come here to..." Tai Yi trailed off, looking resentfully at Liu Mang, who had secretly returned to Fu Xi's side to count treasures again.
"It's all this ant's fault. If it weren't for him, how could this have happened? Hiss, could it be..."
Tai Yi looked up, staring at Di Jun in shock.
"You only realize it now? It's a bit late, but not too late!" Di Jun gave a bitter smile, looking at Liu Mang with a sigh.
This Human Race member was truly monstrous, not only extremely bold but also quite cunning. If Tai Yi had to deal with him, he would likely be completely outmaneuvered.
Di Jun glanced at Hou Tu, who was still deep in thought, and smiled slightly, "Fortunately, we have the Witch Tribe to fall back on."
Tai Yi still couldn't believe it, "How could he dare?"
"How could he not dare? Didn't you see it yourself?" Di Jun glanced at Tai Yi, thinking to himself, "His courage is far, far greater than you imagine."
As soon as he thought of what Liu Mang had asked him to do, Di Jun hurriedly shifted his attention.
There was no barrier now, and perhaps that person would sense it and slap him away. There would be nowhere to reason with them!
With that thought, Di Jun cheerfully patted Tai Yi's shoulder and said, "For now, we should maintain a friendly relationship, but he cannot be used by our Demon Race!"
"Why?"
Di Jun really didn't dare to say, "I'm afraid our Demon Race will get too close to him and be tricked to death!"
The main thing was that no one would believe him if he said it, but he was worried that Tai Yi wouldn't take it seriously. So, he found another reason and transmitted his voice, "It concerns proving the Dao!"
Tai Yi looked up at Di Jun in disbelief, wondering if he had misheard.
How could this ant, who hadn't even begun cultivating, be related to proving the Dao?
However, Di Jun solemnly nodded again to confirm, so he had to temporarily set aside his doubts. "I understand. I will convey this to our other Demon Race compatriots later."
Hou Tu, who had been watching Tai Yi, seemed to sense something and followed his gaze towards Liu Mang, who was sitting with his back to the crowd.
Hou Tu tugged at Di Jiang, who was drooling, and asked with a hint of confusion, "Big Brother, what was our purpose for coming here?"
Di Jiang blurted out: Of course, it was for Nu Wa's Dao-proving, and to see if we could...
Seeing Hou Tu constantly signaling him, Di Jiang seemed to realize he had said too much and quickly shut his mouth.
He looked around and found that no one was paying attention, so he breathed a sigh of relief. "That scared me to death. I almost revealed my true thoughts."
However, when he looked at Nu Wa again, he was completely stunned.
What the hell, weren't we planning to sabotage her?
She's already finished recuperating, how can we sabotage her now? Sabotage what?
Looking at his brothers still arguing incessantly beside him, Di Jiang became increasingly agitated and shouted loudly, "All of you shut up! Don't forget the real reason we came here!"
Everyone was stunned. What the hell, wasn't I here for Nu Wa's Dao-proving?
Why am I arguing with these barbarians (beasts)? Where did it all go wrong?
Everyone lowered their heads and pondered for a moment, then looked at Liu Mang in shock.
Liu Mang, who was busy sorting treasures, seemed to sense everyone's gaze, turned his head, and gave them a harmless smile before turning back to continue sorting treasures.
For a moment, the way everyone looked at Liu Mang changed.
No one expected to be schemed against by an ant who hadn't even entered the Dao.
Liu Mang not only held their attention but also drew them deeper in, making them forget even their main objective.
The Witch and Demon tribes looked at each other, their gazes no longer righteous but evasive.
There was no other way; it was too embarrassing.
If this got out, how would they ever be able to walk in Hong Huang again?
Especially when Di Jun, Tai Yi, Di Jiang, and Hou Tu were looking at them with teasing expressions.
Bai Ze sighed deeply, "Alas, I never thought I'd be pecked by the very goose I chased. I'm ashamed to be known as the Demon Race's strategist."
Tai Yi felt a sense of relief, thankfully he wasn't the last to find out, otherwise, as the Demon Emperor, it would have been even more embarrassing.
For a moment, his gaze towards Di Jun was filled with gratitude.
The scene shifted.
Although Liu Mang had his back to the Witch and Demon tribes, he could still feel gazes like bullets shooting towards him, making his back tingle.
"Can't see me! Can't see me!"
Liu Mang chanted in his mind, still feeling it was unreliable, and even moved closer to Nu Wa.
[Mother! You must be strong!]
[For you to Prove Dao, I've already done my best to hold them off!]
Liu Mang thought, then looked up at Nu Wa, meeting her open eyes, which were filled with warmth.
Seeing Nu Wa awake, Liu Mang let out a long sigh of relief. This feeling of repeatedly dancing on the edge of life and death was truly too exhilarating.
[Finally awake! If you hadn't woken up now, the next time we meet, the grass on my grave would probably be two meters tall!]
[Haha, from now on, I'm the son of a Saint! Hong Huang's myriad races, just wait to be bullied by me, Liu Mang!]
[Wuhu, let's fly!]
Although Nu Wa was recuperating, she wasn't completely unresponsive to the outside world.
The moment Liu Mang and Di Jun left, Nu Wa thought she might never see him again in this lifetime.
Nu Wa, who had already decided to wake up from her meditation, remembered Liu Mang's various outrageous actions before and forced herself to calm down and continue recuperating.
She saw everything Liu Mang had done for her.
It could be said that he did even better than Fu Xi.
Nu Wa, who was full of emotion, looked towards Liu Mang as the first thing upon waking, intending to thank him properly.
Who would have thought this scoundrel, who was terrified just a moment ago, would act like a completely different person the moment he saw her awake, immediately wanting to wreak havoc on Hong Huang.
The idiom "former arrogance, later humility" was practically embodied by him.
Just as Liu Mang was fantasizing about a beautiful future, Nu Wa's gaze gradually turned cold!
[Holy crap! Why the sudden change of face?]
[Women are so troublesome.]
Liu Mang immediately put on a fawning expression and leaned in, asking:
"Mother, what's wrong? Did someone upset you?"
Nu Wa let out a cold laugh and nodded.
Liu Mang's expression changed, and he immediately became furious: "Uncle! Where's my eldest uncle?
Tell me, while I was away, who dared to anger my mother!
Tell me, and we'll catch him and break him in half!"
Nu Wa looked at Liu Mang and nodded with satisfaction, "Hmm, not bad!"
After speaking to Liu Mang, she then looked at Fu Xi and said, "Big Brother, you make your move. Since he's already told you how, break him in half!"
Liu Mang: "?????"
[Damn it! Damn it! This is a trap, isn't it?]
[So close to Proving Dao! And you're turning your back on me!]
Nu Wa raised an eyebrow, "You dare to talk back in your mind?!"
Liu Mang froze, almost unable to control himself: [No way? Does she know what I'm thinking?]
Nu Wa grabbed Liu Mang's ear with one hand, tapped his head with the other, and said angrily, "Hmph, don't blame me for being unfair! Your expression just now was wrong!"
Hearing this, Liu Mang's worried heart finally relaxed.
[Phew, you scared me to death! I thought she could hear my thoughts!]
Seeing Liu Mang's relief, Nu Wa was secretly pleased, "It seems I have a reason to beat him up from now on!"
Nu Wa expected Liu Mang to struggle a bit longer, but unexpectedly, Liu Mang immediately knelt on the ground, "I'm sorry! I was wrong! I was wrong about everything!"
[Hehe! I know this one!]
