Nuwa: Do I Need a Reason?

[The important thing is Master's Intercepting Sect, but all the myriad immortals come to pay homage!]

[Turtle Spirit Fairy, Three Heavens Fairies, Golden Spirit Fairy, Wudang Fairy, Han Zhi, Shi Ji... so many fairies, I can take care of whoever I want, slurp, just thinking about the future makes me incredibly happy.]

Nu Wa's heart tightened, her aura instantly becoming chaotic, almost losing control. Those around her watched with pounding hearts, their internal alarms blaring.

Nu Wa formed a hand seal, suppressing the restless energy within her heart.

"Saint, are you alright?"

"Big Brother, what just happened? Why did the Saint's aura suddenly surge?"

"Saint, I've noticed you've seemed worried ever since Liu Mang became your Third Brother's disciple. Did you deduce something? Or is there something wrong with him becoming a disciple?"

Nu Wa let out a long sigh, shook her head, and forced a wry smile. "Thank you all for your concern. I just learned that I have to go to Chaos right after recognizing Liu Mang, and I'll have to leave him in Tongtian Shixiong's care. I suppose I worried a bit too much, and couldn't control my own aura for a moment."

Hearing this, everyone also let out a long sigh of relief. If Nu Wa had truly lost control, none of them present could have escaped.

"Oh, so that's how it is. The Saint is truly attentive to her nephew-disciple."

"Hmph, that unfilial disciple is quite lucky!"

Seeing the fearful looks on everyone's faces, Nu Wa's own face flushed, her neck turning a tender pink from embarrassment and annoyance.

However, no one saw this except Liu Mang.

But even if Liu Mang saw it, he wouldn't dare to say anything. If he were to reveal Nu Wa's embarrassing moment on the spot, Liu Mang knew without a doubt that he'd be in for a whipping!

[The moment I think of the Creation Whip, my backside hurts. I need to find a time to trick it away. That way, even if I get spanked, it won't hurt as much!]

"This unfilial son, not only did he make me lose face in front of everyone, but now he's plotting against my Creation Whip.

If no one were here, I'd definitely let you taste my whip.

Also, I spent ages brewing this up! And you're telling me that finding female cultivators is more important than Tongtian Shixiong confronting Hong Jun?

I'm marking both these debts down, and when you come to find me alone next time, we'll settle them properly."

With a plan formed in her mind, Nu Wa stopped paying attention to Liu Mang. Instead, she kept stealing glances at Tongtian, her expression filled with hesitation.

"Should I really let him go with Tongtian Shixiong? That long list of female cultivator names... it looks like he didn't miss a single one of Tongtian Shixiong's female disciples. I really don't know how he remembered them all."

Thinking of this, Nu Wa couldn't help but feel agitated. She raised her hand and slapped Liu Mang hard.

The "crack" of the slap stunned not only Liu Mang and those around him, but even Nu Wa stared at her own palm in disbelief.

I just slapped him casually, I wonder if anyone will believe me.

"Mother, why did you hit me again?"

"I'm about to leave Chaos, what's wrong with hitting you?"

Nu Wa thought for a long time but couldn't find a good reason, so she simply gave up, "Do I need a reason to hit you? Why am I hitting you and not someone else? Can't you find the problem with yourself?"

Seeing Nu Wa's unreasonable behavior, Liu Mang could only look to Tongtian for help.

"Elder Brother, I suddenly remembered something..." Upon seeing Liu Mang's gaze, Tongtian jolted and quickly pulled Taishang away, changing the subject.

He didn't dare to get involved. The moment Nu Wa opened her mouth, Fu Xi would grab the Eight Trigrams and start drawing circles on the ground with his back to everyone. He wasn't blind.

He'd have to be crazy to get involved.

Nu Wa grabbed Liu Mang by the ear and muttered to him for a long time until her throat was dry before letting him go.

[As expected, never reason with a woman! Those in love were right!]

[Master has also learned to be bad! The one who dared to confront Hong Jun actually chose to stand by and do nothing. This is difficult.]

After venting for a while, Nu Wa was finally satisfied. Although she didn't get to use her hands and have some fun, venting verbally wasn't bad either.

Nu Wa brought Liu Mang to Tongtian's side. "Shixiong, Liu Mang is in your care from now on."

"Shimei, don't worry. I will do my best to teach him. You don't need to worry."

"Shixiong, I'm not worried about him, I'm worried about you." These words were on the tip of Nu Wa's tongue, but she still didn't say them.

Wouldn't that be betraying her son? Besides, who would believe her!

Nu Wa sighed deeply. "Fine, I won't say any more. I hope Shixiong is prepared to take on a disciple."

Hearing Nu Wa's words, Tongtian was stunned. Just now, did Shimei Nu Wa seem worried about me? Could it be my imagination?

Next, Nu Wa approached Yuanshi and said softly, "Yuanshi Shixiong, I apologize to you on Liu Mang's behalf for what happened before. I hope you won't hold it against him due to his youth."

Even though Liu Mang had refused Yuanshi and chosen to become Tongtian's disciple instead, Yuanshi outwardly acted indifferent, but he was undoubtedly deeply displeased.

Even if it were Nu Wa herself in that situation, she would be unhappy, let alone Yuanshi, who valued his reputation as much as his life.

If Tongtian had been replaced by either of the Western Duo, Yuanshi would have already used the Pangu Banner to smash their brains out.

Perhaps Tongtian felt that such matters shouldn't be taken too seriously between brothers, but Nu Wa couldn't pretend not to see it.

"Saint speaks too highly," Yuanshi said impassively, giving Nu Wa a slight bow.

Looking at Yuanshi's attitude, Nu Wa sighed inwardly.

Yuanshi said he spoke too highly, but he didn't say he would no longer hold a grudge.

With her intervention, Yuanshi wouldn't harm Liu Mang's life, but Liu Mang was bound to suffer some hardship.

Yuanshi pondered for a moment as he watched Nu Wa preparing to turn away. Gritting his teeth, he spoke again.

"Sister, regarding Proving Dao, I still have some questions I'd like to ask. Would it be convenient?"

After speaking, Yuanshi turned his head and said no more.

Nu Wa smiled faintly. It wasn't easy to make Yuanshi bow his head.

Although he hadn't said it directly, Nu Wa understood that if she agreed, Yuanshi certainly wouldn't make things difficult for Liu Mang anymore.

However, he didn't hold much hope that she would share her insights on Proving Dao, hence the question.

Nu Wa smiled because Yuanshi didn't understand Liu Mang's current standing in her heart. To be precise, what Liu Mang knew was far more important than any insights on Proving Dao.

"Since Senior Brother has asked, I will certainly tell you the truth," Nu Wa agreed without hesitation, which surprised Yuanshi. He thought that if he had Proved Dao first, he might not have been willing to share his insights.

For a moment, Yuanshi was lost in endless contemplation.

Nu Wa watched Yuanshi's changing expression, but her mind drifted to Liu Mang's words.

According to Liu Mang, Yuanshi's disciples would eventually leave or betray him, which sounded quite miserable.

Nu Wa couldn't imagine how someone as arrogant and image-conscious as Yuanshi had endured those times.

Liu Mang hadn't elaborated, but she figured it couldn't have been easy.

"Alas, thank you, Sister. I was being too rigid!"

As soon as Yuanshi finished speaking, the two from the West chimed in, "Sister, could we listen too?"

"Senior Brother, there's no need to be like this," Nu Wa said, her gaze sweeping over Fu Xi, Taishang, and Tongtian. "If you're interested, why not listen together?"

After Nu Wa finished speaking, the group gathered. For a time, where the seven stood, immortal music wafted and rosy clouds permeated the air, truly making it profoundly mysterious.
