Wu Zhan old man didn't say that he couldn't bear to lose, winning was winning and losing was losing. If he was on the battlefield, he would have died long ago if he lost.
Deng Chanyu, on one side of the meditation, and on the other side of the quiet toolman, in accordance with the agreement between both parties, Ji already brought up some strange creatures they encountered on their way. "Father-in-law, on our way here, we met some strange creatures. Wondering about their origin?"
The old man's voice was resounding and forceful, like hammering iron: "That's something from beyond the heavens; what else could its origin be?"
The answer was too vague, and Ji continued: "Weren't you prepared to exterminate those monsters?"
The old man laughed: "Isn't it good for the children to be exercised? Why destroy them?"
His tone was as if he were buying toys for pre-school children, completely indifferent.
From a rational analysis, under the heavy pressure of the Pan Gu World, ordinary monsters cannot even compete with Ji Dai. Ghost Cars, which have undergone transformation by chaotic energy, can be defeated by a village warrior. There is no need to worry too much.
Their village seems to have some kind of powerful suppression, and chaotic creatures cannot get close to here.
But Deng Chanyu has encountered many sages and considers herself to have a certain understanding of the minds of these sages. At this moment, she has roughly guessed the true purpose behind Madame Pingxin's request for her to come to the Pan Gu World.
In essence, it's that the sky of the Pan Gu World is leaking, chaotic gas is invading this world, and she is expected to leverage her professional skills to help repair the sky. Professional people can't afford to hire them, so they can only turn to her apprentice, tsk tsk.
Another ten days passed, and Ji also completed the challenge at this village.
"Dang it, I'm really stupid," Deng Chanyu pounded her head in frustration.
The formal challenge of the witch race isn't difficult at all; it's simply a requirement to defeat twelve peers of the same age, and that's considered passing.
Deng Chanyu is 26 years old, Ji Dai is 25 years old. As long as they defeat peers of the same age, they can pass. The witch race has lifespans of thousands or even tens of thousands of years. For a warrior in their twenties, it's like an infant. As long as they are quick-thinking and have more proficient techniques, they can actually defeat them. When Deng Chanyu challenged for the first time, she had already won ten consecutive matches. By choosing two more easily pass, it was her own showmanship that made her challenge the elderly who lived for over seven thousand years.
She has been stuck on the hidden boss for over a month and finally passed by relying on her treasure and a bit of luck. Now she's told that it's not necessary to fight this old man, and she's frustrated.
Ji Dai held her strategy guide, and instead of choosing the three brothers who were all vying for status—Wu Ling, Wu Shan, and Wu Hai—she picked twelve witch warriors, and passed smoothly.
They paid tribute to the ancestral wizard of this village, who was worshiped as a god with the body of a bird and the face of a human, standing on two dragons and holding a wooden staff named Songmeng.
Afterwards, following the guidance of the old village head, they continued to walk along the iron wall behind the village, going to visit the next village. It is worth mentioning that Wu Ling, Wu Shan, and Wu Hai brothers also chose to travel with them across Pan Gu Continent. The witch war elder happily agreed: "Go play! Enjoy the joy of battle!"
"No fun at all."
The divine thought of Nu Wa was interrupted by Madame Pingxin. She knew how important the witch race was to the Palace of Pan Gu, and she didn't want to cause a dispute with the Underworld on this crucial issue. However, when she suddenly lost connection with Deng Chanyu, she felt a bit uncomfortable.
Continue to cultivate? It seems like it won't yield anything.
Wait? That's even more boring!
Facing the empty Space Mirror, Nu Wa lay on the cloud bed, propping her chin with her hand, and started to daydream.
Qingluan said softly: "My lady?"
"Speak."
"What you said, my lady?"
"Boring," Nu Wa shook her head.
Jiang Ziya is also a major figure in the heavens and earth, and the Menglun Sect is on high alert. Is it believable for him to say that he's just watching for fun out of boredom? Even Yuan Sheng Tianzun wouldn't believe that.
She enjoys collecting postcard-style female warriors, and she has no interest in the dry, thin Jiang Ziya.
She waved her sleeves grandly, communicating with the heavens and earth with her divine consciousness. The Dao essence around her body was dense, and she entered the state of cultivation.
At the end, Nu Wa left a message for Qingluan: "Ayu come back to call me."
"Yes, my lady."
Hong Jin disappeared, and during this period, the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit has always been mixed up with Yan Hong.
Yin Hong is young and strong, and as an automaton, there's nothing much for him to do.
The Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit is also idle, and the two of them together can't possibly be studying advanced mathematics. They can only do some things they love.
There are taboos left by Wen Zhu in her body, which makes it impossible for her to draw upon the demonic power. Out of the twelve hours in a day, ten hours are spent lying down, and the physical exertion is not that large. Over time, she also gets bored and decides to take her maids on a stroll around Xiqi City.
The people of Xiqi are living relatively well, but she knows that there are internal problems within the current Xiqi.
Yin Hong is waiting for an opportunity. What kind of opportunity is he waiting for?
King Ji Chiang is already an old man, gradually handing over his power to the eldest son Baoyikao, but it seems that King Qin Ji Fa is somewhat dissatisfied. This is an opportunity for Yin Hong, who is a puppet.
The Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit does not have much faith in Yin Hong. Playing politics with a teenager and a ninety-year-old? You're underestimating King Ji Chang too much.
She found a tavern and was drinking in the private room, ordering her guards to go out and gather information from the common people.
"I heard that the Deng family in Nandu has wiped out Eushun and expanded their influence to the East Sea"
"I heard that there's a Shang official named Jiang Ziya who has defected to Xiqi, and he's currently building some kind of altar. Well, it requires a lot of materials, and recently, someone has initiated the formation of a stone masons' guild to repair the houses of the poor. Afterward, they go to the nobles in the city to demand their wages and such."
Various news from the market has been gathered, but the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit has not drawn any important events from this information. The broken stone platform that Jiang Ziya is building and the unions formed by some ordinary people in the city are what? She doesn't care about it at all.
However, one piece of whispered news piqued her interest.
The guard reported: "My lady, I heard that the third son of the Western Zhou King, Ji Xian, was arguing with the eldest son Baoyikao in front of everyone at the palace."
The Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit thought carefully and waved her hand to signal the guards to go down and continue their investigation. She then took off the gold bracelet in her hand and handed it to her maid: "Go and call that Donglu man for me."
Soon, Deng Ai's top spy, Deng Zhong, the son of Deng Ai, entered the tavern in disguise as Jiang Zhong.
"Greetings, Your Excellency, may you live forever," Deng Ai often bribed Fei Zhong, speaking in the standard business language of Yin Zhong. Deng Zhong later specialized in Yu Hong and was experienced. When he saw the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit, he first pretended to be out of his mind, then forced himself to suppress all emotions and prostrated himself.
The Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit enjoyed others paying her homage, and at this time, she was playing the role of a high-ranking noblewoman, taking a long time before finally opening her mouth: "It's too expensive to buy some news from you. Never mind, I don't care about you, my servant. Just tell me, what is the reason for Ji Xian's argument with Baoyikao?"
