"How dare you speak without honor!" the Dragon Senior became so angry that he seemed about to explode right there.
It's all about offering benefits and discussing conditions. After enduring several rounds of extortions, it seemed as if Deng Chan Yu had agreed with enthusiasm, but then, she shifted the topic back to paying a visit to the Holy Palace to see the Saint.
Just lead the way and introduce us. Can it be that difficult? Do we have to pay such a high price for it?
The old dragon elder almost twisted his back, but at this moment, he could only endure it.
In his heart, he hoped that the young and headstrong Deng Chan Yu would take on all the responsibility for herself and not involve the Saint.
Deng Chan Yu is currently staying in the house of the Three Pure Ones, and she can visit the side of Nuwa to chat whenever she's free. When she sees the Supreme Deity, she bows respectfully, and when she sees Luo Houb, she curses a few words. This is because her circle of contacts is extremely high-level.
The old toadlike Qiu Long has long since departed from the central region of Hongwu, and he doesn't have the courage. The Saint's anger, even just a displeased look, is too heavy for him to bear. Unless it's absolutely necessary, he would rather avoid having any contact with the Saint.
Shift all the responsibility onto Deng Chan Yu, and regardless of the outcome, someone else will take care of the aftermath.
Now he takes a big breath, not only taking the benefits but also asking the Dragon Clan to face the Saint.
Having given so many benefits to the disciples, even if the Saint doesn't need these things, does he have to pay a token gesture? If you don't make a gesture, how will the Saint know what you mean?
Hao Tian and Deng Chan Yu are all people who value money to the death. Even though the Dragon Clan has a substantial fortune, they're feeling the strain now.
Jiang Ziyu doesn't have as many concerns as he does. As long as he doesn't have to pay for it himself, he's not worried at all. He doesn't have much confidence in Deng Chan Yu's skills, but when he heard that she could meet the Saintess Nuwa, he agreed to it immediately.
"Please guide us to the presence of the Sageress for me and my companions."
Deng Chan Yu nodded, "Of course."
She reached out to take the phoenix staff held by the old dragon senior, and he subconsciously grasped it tightly. She furrowed her brow and exerted more force, and the old dragon senior hesitated for a moment before deciding to release it.
The Dragon Clan found the Phoenix Cudgel useless. This supreme primeval treasure was completely out of their reach, so much so that it was too short to be used as firewood. If it weren't an important war trophy worshipped in the Dragon Ancestor Hall, it would have been discarded long ago.
Deng Chan Yu is not worried about the Dragon Clan reneging. If they don't repay the debt, then the Phoenix side would have a legitimate reason to act.
She waved her hand and said, "Kind fellow Daoists, please follow me to pay homage to our teacher at the Palace of Nuwa."
She gave a slight nod to the White Crane Immortal. The White Crane Immortal released the protective array of the Yu Xiu Palace. Deng Chan Yu, accompanied by Jiang Ziyu and the old dragon senior, left the Yu Xiu Palace at a leisurely pace, and then they would have to step down the mountain one step at a time. Don't ask; asking is a sign of respect for Yuanshi Tianzun.
The old dragon senior was very anxious, but Jiang Ziyu advised him not to rush. Should they directly take the cloud in the Yu Xiu Palace? That would be too impolite. Guangchengzi, a direct descendant of the Saint, wouldn't dare to do that either. Instead, they walked down the mountain step by step, and only then did they pay homage to the Saintess Nuwa at the Palace of Nuwa. This was reasonable and legal.
The old dragon senior had no choice but to follow the steps one by one downwards.
The steps of Kunlun Mountain; it didn't seem like a problem when climbing up, but now that they were going down, he noticed a slight issue.
To show off their majesty, the true dragons and divine dragons of the Dragon Clan among the humans outside were all tall and sturdy, with broad shoulders and bulging muscles. Many of them were over two or three meters tall.
On the way up, with long legs, he took great strides, moving at a rapid pace.
By the time it was time to go down the mountain, the distance between each step felt a bit short. For a tall fellow like Qiu Long Senior, who is 2.5 meters tall, it was uncomfortable to take steps. Walking down one step at a time looked rather feminine. Taking two steps at a time? That's too big of a stride; it feels like it's pulling on the testicles.
In contrast, the scene at the Palace of Nuwa was chaos.
Deng Chan Yu was helping stall for time, so Nuwa hastily ordered Qing Luan and the others to tidy up the main hall.
During the first repair of the Chaos Bell, many materials for alchemy were carelessly piled up together. In order to test the power of the Chaos Bell, more than a hundred treasures were destroyed. At this time, the gray flames, scattered fine sand, and splintered wood were everywhere.
Deng Chan Yu had previously been thrashed by the ancestral witch Dijiang, with her handkerchief wiped with her blood, her shoe fallen off while running too fast, and her hair cut off scattered all over the place.
It wasn't noticeable before, but when Nuwa saw the scene now, she indeed thought it was rather chaotic.
Since it's in disarray, let's quickly clean it up.
Qing Luan, the two handmaids, and the nine gold phoenix essence were all spun around in confusion.
Nuwa sat on the cloud bed and directed the affairs.
"Clean up the corner, even the corners!"
"How come there's still half a sleeve under the bed? How could Yun Yu get so messy?"
"Xiao Wu, be careful when you're using fire to burn the garbage. Don't burn the curtains of the Emperor."
After a long period of mutual acquaintance, Nuwa has found it difficult to maintain her aloof image in front of her disciples. They are too familiar with her, and it's always easy to make mistakes when one is always on guard. After a few times, the negative image accumulated until the filter was almost completely shattered.
Deng Chan Yu is about to be convinced, but Yun Xiao can still hold out for a long time.
Yun Xiao has been bringing Qiong Xiao to the Palace of Nuwa for half a day, and Qing Luan has been using the excuse of Nuwa's seclusion to keep them waiting outside the hall.
Deng Chan Yu is bringing Jiang Ziyu and the old dragon senior now. It's still better to show respect for the order of arrival, and Nuwa does value the feelings of her fans.
After everything was cleaned up, the first female god of Hongwu, Nuwa, took the cloud blown by Yun Xiao with a mindset of meeting an idol. She hurriedly led her sister Qiong Xiao to pay homage to the Saint.
Yun Xiao was so excited that her voice was two degrees higher than usual. She recounted her purpose in detail, and Nuwa listened silently without saying a word.
Yun Xiao was limited by the times and ultimately couldn't compete with Deng Chan Yu's speaking skills. Her words were repetitive, either "protecting the countless lives of beings in Hongwu" or "benefiting Hongwu and accumulating infinite merits," which Nuwa had grown tired of hearing after becoming a saint.
There is no concept of equal life in Hongwu. Immortals have never considered themselves the same species as ordinary beings, let alone saints.
The Saintly Sage seeks the Great Dao, true freedom and liberation.
Deng Chan Yu comes up with many new ways to flatter, such as "the teacher leads us to the sea of peace in the Great Congregation World, and teaches us to form an unprecedented strength," or "a round moon rises suddenly into the heavens, chasing away stars and remaining crescent moon." Each time there is a fresh feeling, some of the overblown praise is truly excessive, leaving Nuwa herself shouting "can't take it."
She can't take it, but she still loves to listen to it, and she listens with great interest every time.
After experiencing her disciples' bombardment of praise, Yun Xiao's current Hongwu orthodox statements lack freshness, as if she's listening, but her thoughts are actually elsewhere.
