"As the spirit of Houyi is released from the peach wood and trapped by the spatial barrier, Pengmeng struggled desperately to escape."
"Little man knows that he has made a mistake. Little man's archery skills are still acceptable. If the grand master spares little man's life, little man is willing to serve as the grand master's servant, looking after the grand master's house and protecting it!"
"Master, it's all my fault. I beg your mercy, please spare me a way to survive!"
"Pengmeng kept pleading for mercy."
Noticing that Deng Chanyu seemed to be swayed, his words became more and more humble.
"Little one is just that stone on the ground, not worth mentioning. The immortal is magnanimous, please release little one!"
"Little one knows he has made a mistake and will never again offend the majesty of the immortals. Please, spare me a life!"
"Madam Master? Why don't you say anything? You even made josak for me to eat before, please ask this immortal to show mercy for me!"
Chang'e looked at Pengmeng with disgust: "Enough, you vile little worm, you finally have what you deserve! I wish I could eat your flesh raw!"
She hated Houyi in her heart, but this had nothing to do with Pengmeng who killed Houyi. Her husband was murdered, and she felt no pity for Pengmeng.
"You ugly, disgusting woman! You dress up all adorned every day, for whom are you doing this? For Houyi? Houyi isn't even at home! Scoundrel!" Seeing no hope of escape, Pengmeng's words turned venomous, and he even tore apart Chang'e's persona with a decisive blow.
Chang'e quickly looked at Deng Chanyu with her peripheral vision, only to find that she seemed to have ignored it, and her heart slightly relaxed by two points.
Deng Chanyu has always known the personality of Chang'e, who is cold as iceberg is just a persona.
Piggy, introducing himself to Sun Wukong, used words like "Back then, drunk and in a daze, I staggered and acted the fool. I challenged into the Moon Palace, where the celestial maiden came to greet me."
The "frivolous celestial maiden" mentioned by Lao Zhu is actually Chang'e, but this statement is somewhat exaggerated.
Lao Zhu is not someone who takes responsibility, it's quite normal for him to pass the blame to others.
Anyone who often drinks to excess knows that when truly drunk, one is not capable of causing any trouble.
However, being drunk doesn't mean complete loss of memory. Although the memories may be blurred, one will still have a general impression of what they have done.
According to Deng Chanyu's understanding, this Chang'e is just like many women in the workplace, who restrain themselves before marriage, but after marriage, they're as bold in telling dirty jokes as their male colleagues.
This is because men occupy the dominant position in society. In order not to be excluded, women in the workplace must appear aggressive and carefree, and then they can also be more flirtatious, but this flirtation cannot cross a certain line.
Chang'e is likely this type of person. Seeing the drunk Lao Zhu, she joked around without thinking much about it. She thought he wouldn't remember, but didn't expect the situation to escalate and lead to Lao Zhu's demotion and her own reputation further tarnished.
She's just worn the mask for so long that not only do outsiders forget her true appearance, but perhaps she herself has forgotten it as well.
Pengmeng, seeing that Chang'e didn't speak, started cursing: "I am a bad person, are you good ones? Houyi pretends to be benevolent and righteous, saying he will give everything, but in the end he still held back. You this whore is even more hypocritical, full of calculation in your heart. What is achieving immortality? It's just about chasing after vanity!"
Pengmeng launched a surprise attack, shooting nine arrows at Houyi consecutively. Houyi lost the initial advantage and could only shoot back nine arrows to intercept Pengmeng's arrows in mid-air. When Pengmeng was about to shoot his tenth arrow, Houyi had no more arrows in his hand. He had to bite the arrow with his teeth, winning the victory in this lastarrowed exchange between master and apprentice.
Pengmeng believed that his archery skills were not inferior to Houyi's, and the reason for his defeat was because Houyi had been holding back.
Seeing Pengmeng still slandering her and defaming Houyi before his death, Chang'e was enraged.
"I will kill you!" She came from the human race, and her marriage to Houyi was a typical example of the union between the Wuhu race and the human race.
During that era, the living environment was harsh, so there were no overly delicate people.
Chang'e had some foundation working on the construction site in Wu Zhou Mountain for six months, so she didn't hesitate to draw her sword and attack.
Deng Chanyu was purely in a spectator's mindset. As Houyi's spiritual body had not yet fully condensed, with a thought, she manipulated the spatial barrier that was holding Pengmeng, creating a crack in it. It allowed Chang'e's sharp sword to pierce through Pengmeng's chest.
There was a thunderous roar as a fierce fireburst out from Pengmeng's chest, instantly melting Chang'e's long sword. The subsequent explosive force propelled the leader of the celestial dance troupe over ten li away.
Deng Chanyu was greatly surprised. What kind of flame was this? It looked a bit like the great sun flame of the Jinyu race, but how could Pengmeng have the great sun flame?
Looking at his confused expression, it seems that Pengmeng had not expected to have the refined and pure Great Sun Flame within himself.
"Ha ha ha ha——this is the principle that heaven does not cut people off." Pengmeng didn't have time to think about where this power came from. He immediately tried to summon the Great Sun Flame to burn through the spatial barrier and help himself escape.
But after burning for a pot of tea's worth of time, and having used up half of the flames, when the flames from his chest turned into blood instead, he still saw no hope of escape.
Deng Chanyu looked at him with a mocking tone, thinking that relying on a little Great Sun Flame to burn through my spatial barrier was just a joke. Perhaps if the powerful beings of the Imperial Family, such as the Emperor Jinn and Taiyi, personally intervened, it might work. But you? You are far from it.
She had received teachings from the Jinyu essence and, combined with the Dao seeds of her own flame paths, she could use the Great Sun Flame despite her bloodline restrictions. However, she usually preferred to use Nanying Lixi fire in her daily life.
She waved her hand, and the scattered Great Sun Flame gathered into her palm. She carefully identified the source of the flames.
After a close inspection, it was clear that this thing was not the real Great Sun Flame. It looked like one, but it wasn't the actual thing.
"I am willing to exchange my life for a great secret. Master, will you accept this proposal?" Pengmeng's eyes were fixed on Houyi's soul body. Unlike the Wu Hu race, shamanism did not have an essence, and the strength of their souls was far from ordinary weak. Trapped for many years, it would take some time for the soul to re-coalesce into its original form. Once Houyi awakened, there would be no chance of survival left for Pengmeng. He immediately revealed his final card.
"What great secret are you hiding, you scoundrel?" Deng Chanyu was curious, and no longer approached with a playful mindset. She exerted her ability to perceive others' thoughts to its fullest extent.
After receiving the guidance of Jie Yin, his Xin Tong would no longer harm his vision. Combined with Tian Yan Tong and Tian Er Tong, it could further enhance the power of his Xin Tong.
At this moment, Deng Chanyu stealthily penetrated into Pengmeng's inner world to peep at the great secret he mentioned.
"This secret is known only to me, and I can swear to the heavens that it is of great importance."
"You don't believe me? I'll give you a hint, related to Houyi, and of great importance. That's why I want to kill him, it's related to this secret."
Pengmeng kept babbling, trying to emphasize how important his secret was.
In the past, after he ambushed Houyi and lost in the archery duel, he survived only because of his words, which convinced Houyi to spare his life. Later, he killed Houyi with a peach wooden stick from behind.
This person's mouth-conversion ability may not be that strong, but being shameless and adding that Houyi was too straightforward made him stumble in the shadows.
