Cang Li accidentally transmigrated. Upon opening her eyes, she faced an open-air "grand villa," a gift from nature—a torrential downpour—and five hungry younger siblings, all while bein...
Chapter 82 Nuwa released Cangli and pulled...
Nuwa released Cangli, pulled him down to sit, and said:
"Bao'er, why are you here today? Did something happen? Or have you finally decided to stay at Nuwa Palace to keep your mother company?"
Cang Li rubbed his face and said:
"It's nothing, I just missed my mom. And since the human race doesn't seem to have much going on lately, I thought I'd come and check on her."
Nuwa was delighted: "I knew Bao'er was thinking of me. Here, I've saved some delicious fruit for you, as well as fish that your uncle caught in the North Sea. They're really tasty."
While they were talking, Nuwa piled up a bunch of things in front of Cang Li.
Cang Li rummaged through them and found they were all rare and precious materials. If he gave them to Taiqing to refine pills, they would definitely produce top-grade immortal pills.
After the mother and daughter talked for a while, Cang Li asked:
"Mom, is Er doing well here?"
Nuwa said nonchalantly, "She's doing well. She's making quite a bit of progress by learning from Donghuang Taiyi."
Cang Li stood up and said, "Then I'll go to the Eastern Palace to see him. I haven't seen him for quite some time, and I miss him terribly."
As Cang Li was about to leave, he was stopped:
"What's the rush? They're probably still in the fighting arena. Go later."
Cang Li didn't know what the fighting arena was, but it should be similar to a training ground. Cang Li nodded: "Okay, I'll go later. I have to go back after I see him. If I'm delayed too long, it will be a year before I get back. The time flow is different on both sides, which is quite inconvenient."
Nuwa tapped Cangli's head: "You have so many ideas. I see your cultivation is improving very quickly. Not bad, you've been working hard at cultivation lately."
Cang Li grinned: "That's right! Don't you know who I am? My talent is amazing!"
Nuwa laughed: "Yes, our Bao'er is the most amazing."
Cang Li seemed to remember something, took out a red embroidered ball from his backpack, and handed it to Nuwa, saying:
"Mom, here's your embroidered ball back."
Nuwa weighed the embroidered ball in her hand, then tossed it back to Cang Li, saying:
"I don't need it, you can keep it. Give it to a suitable person in the future. The red embroidered ball is used to tie the red thread of marriage, which is suitable for humans."
Cang Li thought for a moment and then stuffed the red embroidered ball back into his backpack, thinking that he would give the red embroidered ball to the matchmaker when he had a matchmaker in the future.
After sitting for a while, Nuwa looked at the sky and said, "It's about time. If you want to go see Er, go ahead. Remember to come back and let me know when you leave."
Cang Li nodded and headed towards the Eastern Palace.
Upon reaching the entrance of the Eastern Emperor Palace, Cang Li discovered that there were no demon servants or guards present. It was probably because the Eastern Emperor Taiyi was too powerful, so there was no need to use them.
There was no one at the door. Cang Li hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is anyone home?"
After calling out twice and receiving no response, Cang Li walked inside, saying as he went, "I'm coming in."
After passing through two gates and still not seeing anyone, Cang Li suspected he had come to the wrong place. He turned around and walked out, and as he approached the main hall, he heard voices coming from inside.
"Taiyi, our people have discovered that something serious has happened to the Wu Clan. The Twelve Ancestral Witches are investigating thoroughly. It seems that their people have been injured by something."
"The Wu Clan is incredibly powerful. Any magical artifact capable of harming them must be extraordinary. I want to know what it is."
Then came Donghuang Taiyi's voice: "Brother, does such a thing really exist?"
Di Jun hesitated for a moment before replying, "I'm not sure. It could also be a conspiracy by the Wu Clan."
Just as Donghuang Taiyi was about to speak, he suddenly looked outside and exclaimed, "Who's there!"
Cang Li quickly spoke up: "It's me, it's me, Cang Li from the human race. I didn't see anyone when I came in. I didn't mean to overhear you talking!"
As he spoke, Cang Li poked his head out from the doorway, smiling innocently.
Donghuang Taiyi's expression softened when he saw it was Cang Li, and he said to Di Jun:
“Brother, I will keep an eye on this matter. You should go to Tanggu and check on the younger ones. They’ve been a bit restless lately; they’re probably reaching their growth stage.”
Di Jun nodded, then looked at Cang Li and smiled, saying:
"It's young friend Cang Li. Since you're here, please stay a few more days. Unfortunately, I have some things to attend to, so I'll have Taiyi accompany you to the Demon Court for a few days."
Cang Li nodded repeatedly: "No problem, no problem, Your Majesty, please go ahead with your business and don't worry about me."
Di Jun smiled and nodded, patted Donghuang Taiyi on the shoulder, and walked out.
Seeing that Di Jun had left, Cang Li breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest.
"That scared me to death."
Donghuang Taiyi walked over and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you. Don't worry, my brother isn't angry. Come and sit down to talk. Did you come to see me?"
Cang Li followed him inside, nodded, and said, "Yes, I haven't seen him for quite some time. How is he doing here?"
It's been almost two years since you came to the Demon Court.
Donghuang Taiyi said, "That kid is good. He has perseverance and cultivates diligently. He should be back soon."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the young man's steady voice came from outside:
"Master, I'm back."
Cang Li looked over and saw the much taller young man walk in, wearing a golden-red robe and carrying a pair of halberds. When he saw Cang Li, Er seemed not to have reacted yet and stood there dumbfounded.
Only after Cang Li got up and walked over did Er rush over and hug Cang Li's waist, excitedly shouting:
"Sister!"
Er has already grown to Cang Li's shoulder; he's growing very fast.
Cang Li stroked Er's head, and upon closer inspection, noticed a still-healing wound on Er's jawbone. It was almost a fatal cut to the neck. Just looking at the wound, Cang Li could imagine how dangerous it was. Cang Li felt a pang of heartache, but didn't ask any questions. He simply touched the wound and asked:
"Does it still hurt?"
Er shook his head, seemingly unconcerned, and said, "This little injury doesn't hurt at all. I killed everyone I fought..."
As he spoke, Er suddenly stopped and looked cautiously at Cang Li. To be honest, after coming to the demon race, he realized that the demon race's cultivation and battles were all about fighting to the death. After training in the training ground, they would be thrown into the training ground, which had a complex terrain. Once they went in, nine out of ten would not come out.
Er killed many demons and was even taken to fight the witch clan, which is how he was transformed in a short period of time.
The injuries on his face were nothing compared to the more serious injuries he had on his body.
Cang Li sighed: "It's alright, as long as you're alright, I don't blame you. I just think you're working too hard. Jie and Ji, the other three, all went to Kunlun Mountain to cultivate. If you hadn't asked for it yourself, I wouldn't have sent you to the demon race."
Er smiled and hugged Cang Li, burying her face in Cang Li's shoulder and saying, "Sister, don't worry about me. I'm really strong now. Ji Hejie and the others definitely can't beat me."
Cang Li patted Er's head: "Yes, I know. Be careful in everything you do."
Er nodded, and Cang Li then realized that Donghuang Taiyi had left sometime earlier, leaving the space to her and Er.
"Alright, how old are you? Stop acting like a child. Come on, I'm going to see your master."
Er released Cang Li, put away his weapon, took Cang Li's hand and walked outside, saying as they walked, "Master should be outside."
After the two went out, they walked through a corridor and indeed saw Donghuang Taiyi.
Cang Li stepped forward and thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your careful guidance, Fellow Daoist Taiyi."
Donghuang Taiyi smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. Er is very intelligent, and it is easy for me to teach him. Now that he has passed the test, he can become a demon general and command 20,000 demon soldiers. Fellow Daoist, you can rest assured."
Cang Li nodded: "Fellow Daoist, if Er does anything disobedient, just teach him a lesson without holding back."
After saying that, Cang Li added, "I've been here for a while now, it's about time I went back. You should listen to your master."
Erbei held Cangli's hand reluctantly: "Sister, when will you come to see me again?"
Cang Li lowered his head and said, "I'll come whenever I have time. You can also go back to the human race for a visit."
Er nodded and saw Cang Li out of the Eastern Palace. It took her a long time before she reluctantly let go of his hand: "Sister, take care on your journey."
Cang Li waved his hand behind him: "Don't worry."
Donghuang Taiyi hesitated for a moment, then said to Er, "You should cultivate diligently. I'm going out for a bit."
Then he caught up with Cang Li and said, "Fellow Daoist, let me see you off."
Once Cang Li's figure was out of sight, Er withdrew his gaze, his expression instantly turning cold, and said to the other side:
"come out!"
Several demon boys and girls, who looked to be about the same age as you, came out and mocked you:
"You're so old and still can't leave your family members, aren't you ashamed!"
Without saying a word, Er rushed forward and started fighting. This group of demons didn't get along with him. After he came to the demon race, these demons bullied him. At first, he wasn't very strong, but fortunately, he was the only disciple of Donghuang Taiyi, so these people didn't dare to really kill him. This gave him the opportunity to increase his strength and then fight back.
Now that these people can't beat him, they can only resort to empty words.
If we hadn't encountered these people in the training grounds back then... Er's eyes were sinister. If we had met them, these demons wouldn't be alive now.
After beating up these demons, Er sneered, "You dare to provoke us when your strength is insufficient? If it weren't for Master and Lord Bai Ze's instructions not to harm people outside the fighting arena and training grounds, you wouldn't be alive today! Get out of here!"
Several demons, their faces bruised and swollen, ran away, too angry to speak out.
Cang Li walked back to Nuwa Palace and turned to Donghuang Taiyi, saying:
“Fellow Daoist Taiyi, I’ll go tell my mother that you don’t need to see me off. I know the way back.”
Donghuang Taiyi said, "It's alright, fellow Daoist, please convey my greetings to the Sage."
Cang Li entered Nuwa Palace and told Nuwa. Nuwa saw him out and saw Donghuang Taiyi still standing at the door. Mu Lu was puzzled.
"Taiyi?"
Donghuang Taiyi clasped his hands in a salute and said, "Greetings, Sage."
Nuwa nodded: "Why have you come?"
Cang Li hurriedly said, "I just went to Fellow Daoist Taiyi's place. He saw me off on my way back. Oh, Mom, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. If I don't leave now, another year will have passed!"
After saying that, Cang Li hurriedly prepared to leave. She had other matters to attend to; she needed to take the imprisoned members of the Wu Clan to negotiate with them as soon as possible.
Donghuang Taiyi clasped his hands in a fist salute to Nuwa and hurriedly chased after her.
Nuwa looked at the two figures walking one after the other and felt a sense of anticipation. If Cang Li could become a Daoist couple with Taiyi, wouldn't they be able to stay in the Demon Court for a long time?
In all things considered, Donghuang Taiyi's background is not a disgrace to her Bao'er, and her appearance is also exceptionally handsome, worthy of Cang Li.
Nuwa pondered for a while and thought it was feasible, so she planned to mention it to Cang Li next time she saw him.
Cang Li was rushing back when he quickly noticed Tai Yi following behind him. He stopped in confusion and turned around to ask:
"Fellow Daoist Taiyi? What brings you here?"
After Donghuang Taiyi approached, he said, "I will escort you back, fellow Daoist. The prehistoric world has been quite unsettled lately."
Cang Li scratched her head, thinking of Donghuang Taiyi's kind act of helping her dry salt, and quickly said happily:
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, fellow Daoist. It's perfect timing, fellow Daoist, you can stay with our human race for a few more days and have some fun this time."
After saying that, he took Donghuang Taiyi back, thinking to himself, "Why don't I take this opportunity to test my strength with Donghuang Taiyi?"
