Who knew that the multiple layers of barriers would expand from the inside out? If she hadn't retreated quickly, she would have already been discovered.

Yang Qinglan set up the barrier, then stepped forward and kicked Li Changzhou: "Get up."

Li Changzhou opened his eyes but did not get up.

“Just now,” he said to himself, stroking his chin, “I saw a person whose back looked exactly like yours, and whose features were about 70% similar to yours. At first, I thought it was an illusion or a disguise, but it wasn’t.”

Touching legs and smelling scents are all methods of probing.

"It's She Ling'er, my sister." Yang Qinglan sat down in the chair, picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip. "She came to my room?"

"Hmm. What's she doing in your room?"

"There are two saintesses, and Nuwa holds one position."

"I understand, it's a competitive election."

Yang Qinglan glanced down and saw that Li Changzhou was looking under her skirt. She pinched the hem of her skirt with her fingers, lifted it gently, and used the hem to cover Li Changzhou's head.

That's right, this is Yang Qinglan with only the two of them.

"How did you find me?" Yang Qinglan asked again.

"Unexpected." In that instant, Li Changzhou had already grasped the divine power of Zhujiuyin—his eyes shone brightly.

He recounted his experience and then asked her what her mission was.

"Like you, I didn't get any mission prompts, I was only given an identity. My current guess is that I've been officially appointed as the next Nuwa."

She raised her hand and tapped his head under his skirt, signaling him to stop moving, and continued:

"There's another possibility: we don't have a mission, or rather, the mission is to help Chang'e pass the test. As for the specifics, we'll have to figure that out ourselves."

"I'm figuring it out."

Yang Qinglan said irritably, "You still want to figure it out by trial and error?!"

The third chapter of the Book of Rites, "The Great Learning," states: "If you can improve yourself one day, do so every day, and keep improving yourself. By reviewing the old, you will gain new insights."

"I'll make you feel new!" Yang Qinglan pinned him down. "You've come at just the right time."

"You missed me too?"

"I want to," Yang Qinglan nodded. "But there's something more important. I want you to marry into the Nuwa clan and be with me."

"Why would I marry into your family if I weren't with you?"

"It's not that easy to be with me," Yang Qinglan said, tilting her head back and blushing slightly on her fair face. "You must be the best in the Heaven-Mending Assembly and become the True God of the North Sea."

"Do I need conditions to be with my own wife?"

"You don't need to be with your wife, but you do need to be with the Holy Maiden Nuwa."

"Alright, anyway, I'm planning to try and seize the position of the True God of the North Sea. The way to find the two immortal mountains might depend on this."

"Hmm~, have you seen your sister, Yaochi?"

"No."

"Don't worry too much. The Heaven-Mending Assembly is a grand event in the entire Wilderness. People with some status and strength will come to participate, and you will see them."

Li Changzhou finally sat up and put his arms around Yang Qinglan's slender waist.

The thin sleeves slipped off her wrists, and Yang Qinglan's two smooth, white arms coiled around Li Changzhou's neck like snakes.

It was almost dawn when Li Changzhou returned to the cave that the Snake Elder had arranged for him.

"You still say that two people only need 150,000 years to search the entire North Sea?" Guanyin said with a smile mixed with slight anger.

Li Changzhou chuckled twice, feeling embarrassed.

After daybreak, the old snake reappeared, leaning on his wooden cane.

The first thing I asked him was, "What's your name?"

To be honest, Li Changzhou didn't introduce himself.

Because of the long history, there have been disputes over the selection of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in various dynasties. In the "Shangshu Dazhuan", Suirenshi is the "Heavenly Sovereign" among the "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors", but in other classics, such as the "Three Character Classic", Suirenshi is not any of the Three Sovereigns.

The reason I bring this up is to explain something:

Li Changzhou, who came from a later era, could not possibly know the true information about Suirenshi, so... he didn't know what his surname should be.

But he's smart.

"Just call me 'Zhou' if you're old snake," Li Changzhou replied nonchalantly.

The old snake nodded and said, "As the Human Emperor, Suirenshi had a far-reaching influence on the barbaric lands. Although the Heavenly Emperor is incredibly powerful, surpassing the Three Sovereigns, he will not relax his vigilance against Suirenshi until he obtains the Human Emperor's Sword. You did the right thing by hiding your identity."

She added, "Those people have all been imprisoned, and no one knows your identity. Goddess Nuwa has already agreed to your marriage into the family."

Li Changzhou, who had almost fallen asleep listening to the previous part, couldn't help but rub his hands together after hearing the last sentence: "Then can I start choosing girls? By the way, in order to leave more bloodlines, can I choose two or three... twenty or thirty more?"

Old Snake chuckled, "Two or three thousand would be fine too."

With a withered body and an aged face, she smiled like a corpse, her smile malevolent.

Anyone else would be trembling with fear, saying they would be content as long as they could win the favor of a Nuwa maiden.

Li Changzhou pressed further, "I'm open to anyone I fancy?"

"As long as the other party is willing. I hope that the coercion I experienced last night will only happen once."

"Understood, understood!" Li Changzhou nodded vigorously, then lowered his voice and asked solicitously, "Grandma, I heard... Nuwa had two holy maidens?"

stop!

The old snake's two bright eyes, along with the two snake eyes on the wooden staff, made up a total of four eyes, all staring at him.

Li Changzhou remained expressionless, his face full of anticipation.

The old snake withdrew the divine light from his eyes and said, "The Empress said that as long as the girl of Nuwa is willing, it is fine."

"Okay! Can I go out now? How can I make them like me if I don't go out?"
