Hong Jun Returns, Wa Dui Dui Goes Offline

Hou Tu's gaze swept across everyone present, noting that the remaining individuals were all close to Nu Wa: the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin and Zhunti were nominal fellow disciples with Nu Wa, and Fu Xi, as Nu Wa's elder brother, had an even closer relationship.

Hou Tu and Di Jiang exchanged a look and nodded.

Hou Tu understood internally that it was time for them to leave. She took a step forward, a smile blooming on her face, and bowed to Nu Wa, "Ancestor Witch Hou Tu congratulates Saint Nu Wa once more on proving the Dao. We have been away from the tribe for a long time and don't know how the Witch Tribe's children are doing now. We should go back and see. We won't disturb you further."

After Hou Tu finished speaking, the Ancestor Witches behind her nodded in agreement.

"We haven't been out for a short time, I wonder how the tribe is doing!"

"Indeed, even with Great Witches like Hou Yi and Kuafu watching, we can't just completely neglect it."

"Moreover, if we leave early, it will be easier for Saint Nu Wa to make arrangements for the Human Race."

Nu Wa raised her hand in the air towards Hou Tu, who involuntarily straightened up. She clearly remembered Liu Mang saying Hou Tu had a chance to prove the Dao.

"If the other party can also participate, the future pressure will be much less."

With this thought, Nu Wa looked at Hou Tu and smiled, "Sister Hou Tu, there's no need for such formalities. If you are worried about the Witch Tribe, you can leave first.

Now that I have proven the Dao and have free time, I might even bring Liu Mang to the Witch Tribe for a visit. After all, if he calls you little aunt but doesn't even know where your home is, it would be too impolite."

Upon hearing Nu Wa's words, Hou Tu was first surprised, then couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Although Liu Mang called her little aunt, she didn't dare to presume on their relationship to try and get closer to Nu Wa.

If the other party didn't mind, it would be fine, but if they were unwilling, the entire Witch Tribe might not fare well.

Now, Nu Wa had proactively brought up this relationship and was even planning to visit the Witch Tribe, how could she not be ecstatic?

Nu Wa's statement was equivalent to telling all the races in Hong Huang that the Witch Tribe was also a great tribe with a Saint backing them, and anyone who wanted to cause trouble for the Witch Tribe would have to think twice.

Hou Tu glanced at Liu Mang, who had somehow moved to Nu Wa's side, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"If Sister Nu Wa visits, our Witch Tribe will surely welcome you with the full might of our tribe. If nephew Liu Mang accompanies you, he can enter the Pangu Ancestor Temple once."

As soon as Hou Tu finished speaking, all the Ancestor Witches turned their heads to look at her in unison.

"This..."

Just as they were about to speak, Di Jiang interrupted them with a hand gesture.

Nu Wa saw the reactions of the Ancestor Witches and, like them, was inwardly incredulous, though she didn't show it.

The Pangu Ancestor Temple was the temple where the Ancestor Witches enshrined the skull of the Great God Pangu. Witches below the Great Witch level didn't even have a chance to get close to it.

Legend had it that entering the Pangu Ancestor Temple could bring Pangu's fortune, but no Witch was ever known to have obtained Pangu's inheritance.

However, this did not deter the myriad races of Hong Huang; instead, their desire to enter the Pangu Ancestor Temple grew even stronger, leading to countless individuals wanting to enter, yet none ever succeeded.

It wasn't that no one had attempted to force their way in. Like Kunpeng, relying on his cultivation of the Dao of Speed, he had intended to force his way in but was still driven out like a stray dog.

Those like Hong Yun and Fu Xi, who visited politely, were courteously welcomed by the Witch Tribe, treated to good food and drink, and then respectfully escorted out of the tribe.

Whether through diplomacy or force, soft or hard tactics, the Witch Tribe remained unmoved.

Liu Mang was the first outsider to enter the Pangu Ancestor Temple.

Nu Wa glanced at Liu Mang, who was staring blankly beside her, and secretly praised the good fortune of this rebellious son. At the same time, she was secretly pleased that Hou Tu's friendly attitude made her feel that her plans had progressed another step. Just as she was about to speak, an irritating face materialized in the sky.

Meanwhile, although Hong Jun's clone had departed, his main body was still paying attention to the movements of Nu Wa and the others.

Although Nu Wa's proof of the Dao through merit was within his calculations, there were significant variables during the process. Especially since Nu Wa did not absorb the Hongmeng Purple Qi but instead crushed it, which was beyond his expectations. How could he truly leave with peace of mind?

Hong Jun, who had been eavesdropping nearby, initially felt that things were progressing smoothly but suddenly heard that Nu Wa intended to visit the Witch Tribe, which made him inevitably nervous.

If they went on this trip and the Wu and Yao tribes decided not to fight out of respect for Nu Wa, choosing to live in peace and harmony, who would Hong Jun complain to?

If the Wu and Yao tribes didn't fight, what would happen to the Calamity?

If the Calamity didn't come, how could he transcend?

With this thought, Hong Jun could no longer bother eavesdropping and quickly appeared.

"Fellow Daoist Nu Wa, Saints are not allowed to interfere in Hong Huang. Now that you have proven the Dao, you should move outside the thirty-third heaven, just like me."

Hong Jun's tone was firm. Although it sounded like advice, everyone felt that his words allowed for no room for refusal.

Nu Wa, who had been in high spirits, was angered by these words and her expression gradually turned grim.

I'm just going to visit the Witch Tribe, and that's interfering in Hong Huang?

You're running around Hong Huang all day, why don't you say anything?

I, Wa the Defiant, have already become a Saint. Do you still think I'm as easy to bully as before?

Just as Nu Wa was about to retort, Liu Mang's inner voice coincidentally echoed in her ears.

[It's over, Barbie Q, I'm going to be locked up!]

[This is great, the Wu and Yao tribes are about to go all out, and the three thousand innate humans will all be dead.]

[I knew it, why would I be confined to Wa Huang Palace for a hundred thousand years and not allowed into Hong Huang right after creating humans.]

[So that's the root of it all! Hong Jun, that old scoundrel, is truly wicked!]

"Confined? Is Hong Jun planning to make a move against me? It looks like he wants to lock me up to ensure the Wu-Yao Calamity proceeds smoothly."

"That's right! If I'm not here, neither the Witch nor Yao Tribes will have a Saint. Their top-tier combat power will be evenly matched, and the result can only be mutual destruction."

"What a brilliant calculation. You want to mess with me, but I won't let you have your way."

Nu Wa, who had a serious expression moments ago, instantly broke into a smile like a blooming flower. She bowed and slowly said, "I respectfully obey the Dao Ancestor's command!"

As Nu Wa bowed, she noticed Hong Jun hadn't responded for a long time. She quietly looked up at the sky and saw Hong Jun's large face constantly changing like a running commentary.

Witnessing all this, Nu Wa couldn't help but feel happy. Her previously unenthusiastic expression became radiant.

"No wonder that rebellious son enjoys being sarcastic and irritating. This feeling is really addictive."

Nu Wa made up her mind to keep Liu Mang by her side for a few more days to learn from him.

At this moment, the Nu Wa known throughout Hong Huang as 'Nu Wa the Sarcastic' began to evolve into 'Nu Wa the Sarcastic and Passive-Aggressive'.

Hong Jun did not notice Nu Wa's furtive glance. He was immersed in constant doubt.

"This... how is this different from what I expected?"

"Refute me! Talk back to me! Argue with me..."

"If you just give up like this, how can I impose restrictions on you?"

"You... I... he..."

"There's no way to start!"

Not to mention Hong Jun's confusion, Nu Wa's words also stunned Hou Tu and the other Ancestor Witches. The Three Pure Ones and others looked at Fu Xi, bewildered and full of questions.

Is your sister crazy?

Fu Xi: "..."

This makes no sense! This is illogical!

"Who should I look to? Who should I ask?"

They all felt like refuting the Dao Ancestor's words, so why did Nu Wa just give up?

Is this still the Nu Wa we know?

Where did the previous 'Nu Wa the Sarcastic' go?

Why has she become so detached and indifferent after becoming a Saint?

Hong Jun stared at Nu Wa for a long time but found no sign of defiance. He twitched his lips and had no choice but to speak.

"Good!"
