The Treasure Wasn't Even Warm Before It Was Gone

Although Nu Wa didn't know how Liu Mang had tricked Di Jun, judging by Di Jun's reaction, it seemed to have worked well.

Not only did Liu Mang not wish for the Witch and Demon races to slaughter each other, but she and Fu Xi had also always been unwilling to participate in their conflict.

Unfortunately, Di Jun had seized Fu Xi's weakness, using the excuse of borrowing the River Diagram and Luo Script to lure Fu Xi into his trap.

One must know that the River Diagram and Luo Script were originally Di Jun's treasured spiritual treasures, which he never easily showed to others, let alone lent them out for comprehension.

It contained not only the numbers of the Star Dou Great Formation but also the patterns of the River and Luo, with their forms concealing each other and their yin and yang embracing, as if countless stars were connected, each forming its own principles and patterns.

The first time Nu Wa saw the River Diagram and Luo Script, she couldn't help but be deeply captivated by its profound mysteries and felt an urge to explore them.

Fu Xi, who had been immersed in the study of yin and yang deduction for a long time, couldn't resist such temptation.

From the moment he saw it, his eyes never moved away.

Subsequently, Di Jun used the excuse that the River Diagram and Luo Script were unsafe in the lower realm, and Fu Xi had no choice but to accompany Di Jun to the Demon Court.

Even though Fu Xi left, she still chose to remain on Fengqi Mountain.

Later, to repay this karma, Fu Xi deduced the Star Dou Great Formation for the Demon Race, which could rival the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Fiends Great Formation.

Of course, Fu Xi also gained immense fortune from it, further perfecting the Eight Trigrams diagram.

Nu Wa looked at Di Jun and thought to herself, "If the Witch and Demon races could truly coexist peacefully, the Hong Huang would certainly suffer much less devastation."

As if sensing Nu Wa's gaze, Di Jun looked up at her. He didn't say much, merely offering a slight smile and a nod.

However, Nu Wa clearly felt that Di Jun was different.

The overbearing king with a fiery temper was gone, and in his place, a patient and unyielding strategist was emerging.

Sigh, why haven't the Three Pure Ones and the others arrived yet? I was hoping to receive gifts.

Hearing Liu Mang's thoughts, Nu Wa turned her head. Liu Mang was no longer kneeling.

At some point, Liu Mang had sat down on the stone platform where she created humans.

He propped his chin with his left hand, while his right hand held two eyeball-sized gems, which he was constantly fiddling with. Judging by his practiced movements, it was clear he hadn't just started.

His eyes, gleaming with a mischievous light, darted around the surrounding void.

Looking at the pile in front of Liu Mang, there were not only various spiritual treasures but also spiritual fruits, spiritual plants, and even spiritual materials for setting up formations.

Nu Wa's eyes immediately fell on a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure-grade sword.

It was impossible not to notice it; it was simply too conspicuous.

Liu Mang rested the Kunwu sword horizontally on his knees, with the elbow of the hand propping his chin resting on the sword's body, making the Kunwu bounce up and down.

Nu Wa looked at Liu Mang's appearance and couldn't help but feel speechless.

You're really something! With so many treasures, you're still thinking of hoarding more.

One must know that some people who have roamed the Hong Huang for nearly a million years might not even possess a single Postnatal Spiritual Treasure.

True Person Huang Long, who was cultivating in his cave dwelling, couldn't help but sneeze, "I feel like someone is subtly mocking me."

Nu Wa walked up to Liu Mang and pointed to the items on the ground, asking, "Where did all these come from?"

Liu Mang's eyes shifted, and he said with a fawning expression, "These were all gifts from the esteemed seniors!"

"They said that you are about to Prove Dao as a Saint and that there's an opportunity to observe, which is the first time in Hong Huang."

"They insisted that they shouldn't just watch for free and that they had to pay a viewing fee to stay."

Liu Mang spoke more and more fluently, almost convincing himself.

"I didn't want to accept them at first, but they insisted on giving them!

When I refused, they got angry with me.

Sigh, they're really difficult to deal with~"

Nu Wa's forehead was covered in black lines as she listened.

Since when did fellow Daoists in Hong Huang have such qualities? I never knew before.

Even without hearing your thoughts, I know you're up to no good, you scoundrel~

The next moment, Liu Mang's thoughts arrived as expected.

Hahaha, of course, I won't tell you that these were all extorted under the pretense of you accepting me as your disciple!

Do you think Liu Mang has no dignity!

As expected, it was exactly as Nu Wa had predicted.

The members of the Witch and Demon races, upon hearing Liu Mang's words, were utterly shocked.

Where is your face? How could you say such a thing?

What a joke, refusing and then getting angry!

Couldn't you have pretended to hesitate a little longer when accepting?

Didn't you see Fei Lian almost crying while holding his fan earlier?

Nu Wa turned to look at the crowd, and they quickly nodded, all endorsing Liu Mang's statement.

What else could be done? Should they go back?

Such a shameless act wasn't something they, unlike Liu Mang, could possibly do.

Besides, so many people were watching. If they did it and word got out, people would say later, "Oh, isn't that the Demon God who gave a gift and then took it back?"

How could they possibly get by in Hong Huang?

Nu Wa was also helpless in this situation and sighed, "Since the fellow Daoists wish to give, it wouldn't be right for me not to accept!"

Seeing that Nu Wa didn't object, Liu Mang quickly urged, "Exactly! We mustn't let the seniors' kindness go to waste!"

Nu Wa nodded and smiled, looking at Liu Mang's face with approval. "Mm, what you said makes a lot of sense. Then I'll accept! Thank you for helping me keep it safe!"

Liu Mang: "Hah, why are you being so polite with me? It's only what a son should do... Quack?"

Liu Mang stopped mid-sentence, suddenly realizing Nu Wa's intention. His eyes widened as he looked at Nu Wa, and he couldn't help but let out a duck-like quack!

[This was something I painstakingly tricked them out of, and it's gone before I could even warm it up!]

Liu Mang constantly lamented the Heavenly Dao's injustice. He had finally transmigrated, only to have even his spoils snatched away!

Pain! It was too painful!

Just as Liu Mang was contemplating life, a burst of laughter echoed through the void, "Hahahaha!"

The newcomers were the three brothers of the Three Pure Ones, with Tongtian speaking first.

He simply couldn't hold it in anymore!

"Junior Sister Nu Wa's actions are reasonable. This is our Three Pure Ones' observation... observation fee. I'm not mistaken, am I? Nephew, you must keep it safe for Junior Sister Nu Wa!"

After speaking, Tongtian made a beckoning gesture, and a Spiritual Treasure automatically landed in Liu Mang's hand.

Liu Mang pouted speechlessly.

[Hey, you pervert! You even learned about observation fees. You must have been eavesdropping for a long time, right?]

Just as Liu Mang finished complaining in his mind, Nu Wa slapped him on the head.

He looked at Nu Wa in confusion, only to see her staring straight ahead at the Three Pure Ones.

[I get it, it must have been my expression! Good thing my mother reminded me, she really does care about me.]

Nu Wa couldn't help but sigh, Why do you have so much drama? I just wanted to slap you.

It was one thing to call Senior Brother Tongtian a pervert, but what did it make her if she had been listening to his thoughts all along?

Truly asking for a beating!

It had to be said, after Nu Wa delivered the slap, she felt much better.

She occasionally glanced at the back of Liu Mang's head, considering which angle would be better for another strike.

Nu Wa naturally knew that the Three Pure Ones had arrived long ago, and they weren't the only ones.

But since the other party enjoyed hiding, she would let them hide for now.

In any case, after her own period of adjustment and comprehension, she was only one step away from Proving Dao.

She wouldn't dare say she could handle everyone present, but in a one-on-one fight, she felt completely confident at this moment.

She just hadn't expected Liu Mang's actions to draw out the straightforward Tongtian.

Nu Wa couldn't pretend not to see them, so she bowed to the Three Pure Ones, "Greetings, three Senior Brothers."

The three clasped their fists in return, "Greetings, Junior Sister Nu Wa."

After the greetings, Taishang looked at Xuan Du with curiosity, lost in thought.

Yuanshi began to scrutinize Liu Mang. After a long look, he slowly spoke, "Hmm, he has a certain quick wit, but being glib isn't enough."

After Yuanshi spoke, Tongtian laughed heartily, "My view differs slightly from my second brother's. I find this young nephew quite amusing."

Hearing Tongtian's words, Yuanshi merely frowned and stood aside, closing his eyes to rest.

Tongtian wasn't trying to argue, he was just stating his opinion.

Seeing that both his elder brothers were not fully engaged, Tongtian surveyed the surroundings, then conjured the Immortal Slaying Four Swords and spoke slowly.

"Fellow Daoists, do you require me to invite you?"
