On May 20th, the entire city of Chaoge came alive. The streets were swept clean early in the morning and sprinkled with water. People also put on their new clothes that they only wore during the New Year.

The main road outside the palace was already packed with people early on. Everyone stopped what they were doing, including the slaves who were too lazy to work and waited on both sides of the street.

Today is the day to worship the Holy Mother Nuwa. In previous years, the worship was usually held during the Lunar New Year, but this year it was held earlier, supposedly because of the war in Beihai.

Soon, amidst the anticipation of the crowd, the palace gates were slowly opened.

"Woo...woo...woo..." Nine horn calls rang out.

"Splash..."

Everyone immediately knelt down.

First, two rows of black-clad guards rode out of the palace, carrying flags.

Next came the civil and military officials.

Soon, a dragon carriage, pulled by eight dragon horses, walked out of the palace gate.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Everyone shouted in unison.

"No need for formalities..." Emperor Yi's voice came from inside the carriage.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up and looked at the slowly approaching carriage with respect. Emperor Yi had a high reputation and had promulgated many laws that benefited the people's livelihood since he took the throne.

On either side of the dragon carriage that Emperor Yi rode were Grand Tutor Wen Zhong and General Kong Xuan, who was dressed in full military attire.

"Bang bang bang..."

Following closely at the rear of the procession were four towering figures, each over two zhang tall. These four had leopard-like heads and bulging eyes, their glares fierce and menacing. They wore specially made armor and wielded strange weapons, looking extremely imposing and domineering. These four giants were none other than the famous Four Generals of the Mo Clan: Mo Liqing, Mo Lihong, Mo Lihai, and Mo Lishou, the garrison commanders of Dashang Jiameng Pass, who had recently returned to Chaoge.

"Hiss, it's the Four Demon Generals."

Wow, it's so tall!

The people of Chaoge naturally recognized these individuals, but they still expressed their astonishment.

"Look, that's a spotted fox ferret! It's huge, about the size of a calf."

Some people saw a white ferret crawling on the shoulder of the fourth brother, Mo Lishou. This ferret was an ancient ferocious beast that could change its size in the wind, from as small as a white mouse to as large as an elephant. It had wings on its back and could devour any enemy.

"Chirp..."

The sable fox called out in Mo Lishou's ear, and Mo Lishou immediately looked into the distance, his gaze falling upon the Zhutian Tower.

However, he reached out and touched the ferret, soothing it slightly, and didn't pay it any mind, continuing to walk forward.

The ferret looked at the tall building with some fear.

"This little guy is quite intelligent," Li Daoyi said with a smile from the Ninth Tower of the Heavens.

"Brother Daoyi, I want to raise one too," Mengmeng said sweetly from the side.

“Isn’t having Little Black enough? He’s much more capable than that mink,” Li Daoyi said.

"Awoo..."

Qilin Xiao Hei, who was standing nearby, quickly came over and rubbed its head against Mengmeng.

"Go away, you're too dark." Mengmeng kicked Xiao Hei.

"Waaah..." Xiao Hei said aggrievedly as it ran to Li Daoyi's side.

"Hahaha..." Li Daoyi couldn't help but laugh.

"Dao Yi, shall we go take a look?" Dongfang Bubai asked.

Nuwa and the others naturally wanted to see it for themselves.

"Don't worry, there will be opportunities," Li Daoyi said.

“I’ve been there. It’s just a statue, nothing special,” Mengmeng said.

The little guy has been to almost all the famous places in Chaoge City, and the Nuwa Temple is no exception.

"Don't be careless. Even statues of this level possess divinity," Li Daoyi said.

"I know, I saw her last time I went there, but she can't see me, hehe." Mengmeng said with a mischievous smile.

At this moment, Li Daoyi frowned, a bad feeling creeping into his heart, and couldn't help but look at Mengmeng.

Sure enough, the little guy secretly shrank his neck and moved his body behind Little Dragon Girl.

"Have you done something bad again?" Li Daoyi asked.

"What bad thing? No, nothing!" Mengmeng peeked out from behind Xiaolongnu, but her darting eyes betrayed her.

Li Daoyi picked Mengmeng up.

"Still not behaving yourself."

"Hehe..." The little guy stuck out his tongue.

"They just thought it was fun, so they changed her clothes," Mengmeng said.

"Change clothes?" Li Daoyi and the other two asked at the same time.

What clothes?

"It's the kind that I saw Sister Dongfang secretly wearing last time," Mengmeng said shyly.

Dongfang Bubai blushed instantly, grabbed Mengmeng and started slapping her bottom.

"I told you not to mess around, you're so disobedient!" Dongfang Bubai said angrily while hitting him.

Li Daoyi was completely bewildered, then looked at Xiaolongnu expectantly.

"It's...it's that kind of swimsuit," Little Dragon Girl said, a little embarrassed.

It turns out that Mengmeng had somehow taken out two women's swimsuits from her treasure pouch, which shocked Li Daoyi for a long time. Later, Dongfang Bubai confiscated the two swimsuits.

"You..." Li Daoyi was speechless with amusement upon hearing this.

"Hehe..." The little guy didn't care at all about being hit; instead, he just laughed.

The Nuwa Temple was located on the other side of the royal city, and the procession arrived quickly. Normally, no one was allowed to enter the temple; only during the annual sacrificial ceremony could Emperor Yi open the gate with his own exclusive key.

In front of the Nuwa Temple, the people stood orderly, their eyes fixed on the carriage. The guards slowly dispersed and stood in front of the people to create a barrier.

Huang Feihu walked towards the carriage, lifted the curtain, and Di Yi stepped out, holding a key in his hand.

"Your Majesty."

"Um."

Di Yi took the key and went up the steps of the Nuwa Temple first, followed by the others.

Di Yi walked to the door lock, inserted the key, and started turning it.

"Click..."

Accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, an invisible force surged out from the Nuwa Temple, as if the seal had been broken. Kong Xuan couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Such powerful faith!" Kong Xuan said with envy.

What we just saw was the power of faith of the human race. Normally, it would gather in the Nuwa Temple, but only when the Human King personally opened the gates each year would this power of faith surge out and flow directly to the Nuwa Palace in the Outer Heavens where Nuwa resides.

Sure enough, at this moment, in the Tai Su Heaven outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, inside the Nuwa Palace, a figure hidden in seven-colored light made a move.

"Strange, why did the Human King open the temple ahead of schedule?" Nuwa's ethereal voice slowly rang out.

Then, the seven-colored light slowly disappeared, revealing Nuwa's true form. Her features were exquisite, her eyes were bright and clear, her skin was as white as snow, and her face was dignified and majestic, exuding an aura of wisdom and compassion. You couldn't even describe her as just pretty; Nuwa's beauty surpassed everything in the world. When the seven-colored light completely dissipated, Nuwa was dressed in magnificent celestial robes, her long robes as light as white clouds, as if dyed with a rainbow, bright and beautiful. Behind Nuwa was a holy light of merit, which further highlighted her sacredness.

Nuwa drew a circle in the air with her jade-like fingers, and a scene immediately appeared: Emperor Yi and his civil and military officials were entering the temple square.

"Eeya?"

Up in the restaurant, Mengmeng suddenly looked up at the sky, as if she had noticed something.

"Hmm?" Li Daoyi looked at Mengmeng and then looked up at her as well.

“Someone is watching here,” Mengmeng said.

"Hmm." Li Dao nodded; he naturally knew who it was.

Emperor Yi led his civil and military officials, carrying offerings, slowly toward the Nuwa Temple where the statue of Nuwa was enshrined.

"Emperor Yi of the Shang Dynasty, along with his civil and military officials and all the people of the city, pay homage to the Holy Mother Nuwa." Upon arriving at the gate of the Nuwa Temple, Emperor Yi respectfully announced.

Then, several people dressed in sacrificial robes walked out of the procession. There were eight of them in total, all of them elderly men with white hair. These were the priests who were in charge of the annual sacrifice. The eight of them walked up together and pushed the door open inward.

"Click-clack..."

A strong aroma of incense wafted over.

"Splash..."

All the civil and military officials at the gate knelt down at the same time, except for Wen Zhong and Kong Xuan, who remained standing. The two were to accompany Emperor Yi inside, a privilege not afforded to the other officials, demonstrating Emperor Yi's high regard for them.

This was Kong Xuan's first time participating in this sacrificial ceremony, and since the other party was Nuwa, he still held her in high esteem.

"Your Majesty, you may go in now."

"A priest said."

"Hmm." Di Yi nodded and then stepped inside.

Wen Zhong and Kong Xuan quickly followed, while the priests followed behind the three of them.

As soon as Emperor Yi stepped into the main hall, the previously dim interior was suddenly illuminated. The luminous pearls embedded around the hall lit up simultaneously, making the entire hall feel as if it were under the sun, and everyone even felt a sense of warmth.

However, when Di Yi looked up at the statue, he was completely stunned.

The original celestial robes on the three-zhang-tall statue of Nuwa had disappeared, and now it was wearing an extremely revealing garment with a very strange style, which only covered the important parts of the body, making it shameful to look directly at.

"This...this..."

The group was shocked.

Wen Zhong quickly turned around and waved to the door behind him.

"Smack..."

The door was slammed shut in an instant.

The appearance of the idol must not be seen by outsiders.

"How could this be... how could this be..."

Several priests stammered.

"How dare you! Who did this?" Emperor Yi roared in fury.

Kong Xuan was also shocked. This was blasphemy against a saint. He couldn't help but look up.

“Pardon…” Wen Zhongze made a hand seal and gestured towards the decorative curtains hanging around him.

"Whoosh..."

The curtains hanging on both sides flew towards the statue instantly, covering it completely.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger." Emperor Yi immediately knelt down and bowed deeply in the direction of the statue.

However, at this moment, the sky above Chaoge City gradually darkened, and then a powerful pressure came from the sky, causing everyone who was kneeling to fall to the ground, as if they were weighed down by a thousand pounds.

"roar…"

The four demon generals roared unwillingly a few times, and then their bodies fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty..." Wen Zhong called out with a bitter smile.

Di Yi turned around and looked behind him.

"Splash..."

The door that Wen Zhong had just closed was blown open by a gust of wind.

"Alas, when the sage is angered, the heavens and earth change color. Your Majesty, let us go out and apologize," Kong Xuan said solemnly.
