"The situation is turning grim," one said.

"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.

Chapter 384 The Three Holy Mothers (shuhaige.net)

A drop of rainwater, passing through Li Changzhou's magical power, fell into the Tongtian River and pierced through it like an arrow, shooting several meters into the water before stopping.

Li Changzhou is under increasing pressure.

The Third Holy Mother was merely a human immortal, and her magical power was inferior to his, but her rain-praying magic was profound. Moreover, she was on the Tongtian River, and the power of this treasure lamp was probably that of an S-level item. He was unable to burn away every single drop of rain.

As more and more rain broke through his fiery clouds, Li Changzhou flicked his sleeve, and a streak of emerald light, as fast as lightning, shot out from his sleeve.

The Holy Mother of the Third Palace was startled, and her whole body tensed up instinctively. At this moment, she was fully activating the Lotus Lantern and had no time to defend herself.

But the emerald light did not strike her; it dissolved into a ball of green light in the air.

The green light disappeared, and a smiling white doll appeared, looking very strange, like a summoning banner.

The white doll swayed in the strong wind.

The Holy Mother of the Three Kingdoms glanced at the clouds with some surprise. Why did she feel... relieved?

【Title: The Sunny Doll of the Rebellious Phase】

[Effect: Pray for rain]

[Note: "In this new era, praying for sunny weather is no longer our only option as 'Sunny Dolls'! We want to define ourselves!"]

Oh shit!

Li Changzhou cursed inwardly, never expecting that even if he specified the image of a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll), such a thing would still randomly appear.

The teru teru bozu (sunny doll) turned into a green light and then became an identical teru teru bozu.

A ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds like a divine sword.

Within the beams of light, the world possesses a wondrous beauty.

Li Changzhou pushed back the descending clouds and rain with all his might, and at the same time withdrew his hands, his five fingers forming claws, with a ball of flame rising from the palm of each claw.

Bang! Bang!

He hurled two fireballs into the clouds.

boom!

The fireball exploded, the sky trembled, the clouds and rain were blown apart, and the sword-like pillar of light expanded rapidly, growing larger and larger.

Dark clouds were pushed to the horizon, a fireball exploded and created a huge hole, and sunlight, as thick as a pillar supporting the sky, stood above the Tongtian River.

It was neither snow nor rain; it was a sunny day.

"A draw... How about we both win, Third Holy Mother?"

The Holy Mother turned to look at the monster. In the radiance, his whole body was outlined with golden lines that shone brilliantly. His elegant and handsome face looked majestic and awe-inspiring.

The Holy Mother of the Third Princess was slightly out of breath, her heart was racing, and she had exhausted a great deal of her magical power, but her opponent seemed unaffected.

She gently shook her head, but before she could say anything, the Peony Fairy said sweetly, "It's a contest of praying to the heavens. You, this monster, used your magic to disperse the clouds and rain. You're clearly cheating, yet you want a draw!"

“This fairy,” Li Changzhou said with a smile, “the Queen Mother’s question didn’t say ‘it’s a contest of praying to the heavens,’ it only said to make the sky either sunny, rainy, or snowy. I think—”

He paused for a moment, then said, "It's because the fairy didn't understand the Queen Mother's meaning. What the Queen Mother wanted to test was probably not just the magic of praying to heaven and the luck of drawing lots, but also the ability to adapt to changing circumstances."

"Nonsense!" a dragon maiden from the Western Sea cursed. "The Purple-Clad Fairy herself relayed that the Queen Mother of the West was testing 'understanding of the workings of heaven and earth.' What is this if not a heaven-praying spell? You monster, stop spouting nonsense and showing off your sophistry!"

"The operation of heaven and earth is a ritual for praying to heaven?" Li Changzhou was greatly surprised. "Then wouldn't all the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas be saints?"

puff!

Li Qianxia was the first to laugh out loud.

Immediately afterwards, many of the fairies who had been able to hold back began to chuckle softly.

The dragon girl glared at Li Qianxia as if she were about to devour her. Li Qianxia pursed her lips tightly, her cheeks puffed out adorably, and her eyes looked up at the sky.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden glanced at the Purple-Clad Fairy, who then turned and entered the Cloud Palace, only to emerge again shortly afterward.

"This round is a tie," she announced.

"Why must it be a draw!" Li Changzhou quickly exclaimed. "How about we count it as a win for both?"

"You're afraid of death, huh!" the Dragon Girl sneered.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden had previously said that if Li Changzhou defeated the immortals, she would forgive his past transgressions and let him leave. Now that he has asked for a draw, she considers it a victory. What else could it be but a coward who is afraid of death?

"If you're not afraid of death, are you afraid of dying?" Li Changzhou was too lazy to pay attention to this mudfish, and said to the purple-clad fairy, "Fairy, please ask again, what if the Queen Mother of the West is so kind and the Bodhisattva is so merciful, even if the Third Holy Mother and I both won a round?"

The fairy in purple was unsure whether she should go in.

"Your Majesty, let's consider it a victory." Yaochi laughed, "The Third Holy Mother was the first to go up and solve the problem. Little did she know how cunning this monster was. She paved the way for all the sisters. Even if she didn't make any great contributions, she certainly put in a lot of effort."

"Yao'er is right, I agree." The Queen Mother's slightly amused voice came from the Cloud Palace.

"Thank you, Queen Mother! Thank you, Goddess of Wushan!" The Third Holy Mother expressed her gratitude, then with a flick of her sleeves, flew back onto the auspicious clouds.

The fairy in purple spoke: "The second question—"

"etc!"

"etc!"

Li Changzhou and Sun Wukong spoke at the same time.

In a great hurry, Sun Wukong continued, "Queen Mother, Bodhisattva, this matter concerns my master and fellow disciples. Although I am not a female immortal, as their disciple and senior brother, how can I stand idly by? Why not let this old Sun also solve a problem!"
