Chapter 134 Nezha's Punishment: The 134th Day of Making the Game...
Call your parents!
[Tell the parents.]
Ao Bing's inner thoughts and Yuan Yi's calm voice rang out at the same time. Yuan Yi, who had been suppressing her laughter while watching this farce, took the initiative to offer Ao Bing some advice.
Ao Bing felt even more proud after hearing that Lord Yuan Yi shared the same thoughts as him.
Back when Lingzhuzi was chasing and beating us at Wuzhuang Temple, we would stop today and come back tomorrow, fighting a guerrilla war with Lingzhuzi every day.
However, Lingzhuzi had the backing of Goddess Nuwa, and their squabbles were only minor. Ao Bing was too embarrassed to ask Lord Yuanyi for help. Therefore, he was often bullied by Lingzhuzi at Wuzhuang Temple, and only managed to fight back a few times.
But things are different now. Lingzhuzi has been reincarnated as a child, and he has been cultivating with his senior brother Kong Xuan for hundreds of years, honing his skills.
Now, the roles of offense and defense have reversed!
However, due to the Heavenly Court's rules, he, as the Third Prince of the East Sea, could not lay a hand on human children.
However, the current Nezha is not like Lingzhuzi, who only had the favored Goddess Nuwa behind him. He has parents and teachers behind him.
Now that Nezha has made such a big mistake in the East Sea, he naturally has a legitimate reason to go to Nezha's parents and put pressure on them to give the East Sea an explanation.
What are human infants most afraid of?
Ao Bing gazed at Nezha's still somewhat chubby body, his mind bubbling up one idea after another like bubbles rising from the seabed.
The parents should be informed immediately, and Yuan Yi had already taken the initiative to send the video to Nuwa.
Nuwa was amused by the interaction between Nezha and Ao Bing, and then she saw a new message from Yuan Yi: [Nezha's great calamity has passed, and Ao Bing is also well.]
Nuwa felt somewhat relieved. After all, Ao Bing and Nezha were children she had raised, and Ao Bing was a rare friend whom Lingzhuzi truly recognized. If they were to turn against each other, the child would be heartbroken.
Nuwa immediately replied, "I will remember this kindness."
[No rush, Nezha's second massacre is coming soon, and I've already made arrangements for it.] Yuan Yi gave Nuwa a heads-up beforehand.
After all, Nezha was a key figure in the Investiture of the Gods, so naturally, anyone who wanted to shake Nezha's fate would have to consult with Nuwa.
Go ahead and do it; I believe in you.
When Yuan Yi saw the words Nuwa sent, his heart softened.
Since that's the case, Yuan Yi manipulated the thousands of silk threads in his hand, and one of the reddish threads slightly deviated, managing to untangle it from a bunch of intricate knots.
The ending of this thread remains the same, but the process of its entanglement has undergone countless changes.
Dapeng stared intently at the pile of silk threads, afraid of missing any crucial information.
But the thread in Yuan Yi's hand quickly disappeared and then turned into a familiar game panel. The progress bar under the three words "Investiture of the Gods" on the panel had reached 80%.
Among the many characters in the Investiture of the Gods, Nezha, dressed in red and with black hair, was half-lit. Yuan Yi glanced over and found that among the characters destined in the early stages, only Di Xin, Daji, Jiang Ziya, and Shen Gongbao had not yet reached the most crucial step.
"When Chaoge is in chaos and Jiang Ziya descends the mountain, the Investiture of the Gods can truly begin." Yuan Yi leaned against the ginseng fruit tree, as if talking to himself or to Dapeng.
"Once this last player arrives, it's time to prepare for the game's promotion."
Yuan Yi closed her eyes tightly. This time, instead of using the regular game panel, she transmitted her voice to Kong Xuan, Nuwa, and someone in the game through the earth's veins.
The marketing and promotion are in place; now it's just a matter of waiting for players to get ready.
Yuan Yi stared at Nezha on the game panel, while Da Peng had already renewed the video prop's duration, connecting Ao Bing's perspective and projecting it in front of his master.
It must be said that Ao Bing's demeanor in front of outsiders is quite intimidating.
Dressed in white with silver hair, adorned with gold and jade pendants, holding the Seven Star Sword of Cold Shadow, wearing a purple jade dragon-patterned hairpin, her attire was magnificent, her demeanor elegant, and every step she took exuded a unique air of sophistication.
When he voluntarily entered the Li residence in Chentang Pass and revealed the Dragon Palace Jade Seal, Li Jing and his adjutant rushed over to pay their respects, without the slightest doubt about his identity.
Now, only Nezha remains behind Ao Bing.
Because Nezha said that he would take responsibility for his own actions, and that it was he who disrupted the order of the East Sea, which had nothing to do with his other followers, he sent all the dozen or so little brats behind him home as soon as he entered Chen Tang Pass.
Ao Bing followed behind Nezha, watching him meticulously return each of his friends to their parents, before Nezha swaggered in with his arms crossed, leading Ao Bing into the Li residence.
Before entering the door, he shouted, "Dad, Mom, Uncle Yu, I brought a friend back! Is there anything good to eat?"
They were self-righteous and confident, as if they had returned victorious, showing no fear of having done anything wrong, and filled with the joy of introducing their parents to new friends.
Ao Bing was amazed, thinking that Nezha was indeed living a comfortable life even after reincarnation.
Li Jing and Lady Yin originally thought that their son had made a new friend, but as soon as they went out, they saw the elegant and extraordinary Third Prince of the East Sea.
Before he could even ponder how this six-year-old child knew this ancient demon, Li Jing, who had seen many celestial officials, immediately performed an official salute when Ao Bing revealed the jade seal in his hand.
After all, the East Sea and Chen Tang Pass are adjacent, and Li Jing's adjutant had a lot of dealings with the East Sea Dragon Palace.
Who would have thought that the friend the son brought home was actually his boss?
One second, they're getting to know their son's new friends and giving the younger generation a small gift.
The next second, the son brought home a new friend who turned out to be his boss, and he had to give him a big bow upon meeting him.
The twists and turns involved are difficult to explain to outsiders, but fortunately, Ao Bing did not intend to show off his power and stopped Li Jing's formalities halfway through.
Then, while Li Jing was still marveling at how extraordinary his son was and how extraordinary the friends he knew were,...
Ao Bing then took the jade seal and recounted what Nezha had done in the East Sea not long ago, and also showed all the posts that Bai Luo Xiao Yao had made on the forum.
Although Lord Yuanyi's intervention restricted the spread of these posts, Ao Bing, as one of the parties involved, still had the authority to open them.
After Li Jing heard Ao Bing's account and read Bai Luo Xiao Yao's embellished description on the forum, he was truly terrified.
Having spent decades navigating the treacherous waters of officialdom, Li Jing remained composed. Seeing out of the corner of his eye that Ao Bing was merely recounting the events truthfully without expressing anger or resentment towards Nezha, Li Jing calmed down, realizing that the Third Prince of the East Sea had no intention of escalating the matter.
Fortunately, Nezha did not commit any unforgivable crimes. Otherwise, even as a general of Chentang Pass, he probably wouldn't have been able to protect Nezha if the East Sea came to cause trouble.
However, we must strengthen our control over Nezha in the future, otherwise, he will cause a great disaster sooner or later if he is reckless despite his great skills.
Li Jing felt a jolt of surprise, and instead felt a sense of gratitude towards Ao Bing. He bowed and asked cautiously, "This matter is all thanks to the Third Prince's thoughtfulness. However, although my son is unruly, he is still young, and it is due to my lack of strict discipline. I wonder if the Third Prince could... make an exception for him?"
Nezha, who was standing to the side, was originally happy to watch Li Jing bow to Ao Bing, while grabbing pastries from the table and eating them with crumbs all over his mouth.
But upon hearing Li Jing's cautious request, she felt a strange unease. She put the half-eaten pastry back on the plate and, before she could even clap her hands, stood between Li Jing and Ao Bing.
“I take responsibility for my own actions. This was my idea and has nothing to do with my father.”
As he spoke, Nezha clicked his tongue at Ao Bing, saying, "If you want to do something, come at me alone, don't scare my dad."
Li Jing, standing behind Nezha, was caught off guard by Nezha's unexpected move, but after hearing what Nezha said, he lowered his hand that had been raised high.
Although Nezha was a bit impulsive, he was, after all, a filial and good child. Li Jing shook his head, and finally took a step forward, half a step ahead.
Ao Bing watched Li Jing and Nezha's interaction with great interest, and couldn't help but think more highly of Li Jing. Lingzhuzi had been reborn into a good family this time.
However, he's definitely going to play the villain today.
Even if Li Jing didn't want to punish Nezha, as the third prince of the Dragon Palace, he could still use his power to force Li Jing to give an explanation.
Ao Bing stood with his hands behind his back, about to unleash the dragon's oppressive aura with a cold snort. But then he felt a chill on his neck, as if someone was watching him.
Wait a minute, it seems he just agreed to Dapeng's video call, and he hasn't turned it off yet.
Alright, alright, let's leave it at that for now.
Ao Bing narrowed his eyes, looked the father and son in front of him from left to right, and paused for ten breaths before slowly speaking: "So be it. After all, this matter did not cause a major disaster, and my East Sea will not pursue the responsibility of a three-year-old child."
"This is just a minor punishment to serve as a warning. You should continue to follow the rules of the human world."
When Ao Bing first entered Chen Tang Pass, he had already witnessed many elders disciplining their juniors. Given Nezha's transgression, one wonders whether Li Jing will punish him with a slap on the hand or a spanking.
Ao Bing was full of anticipation, but only heard Li Jing reply after a few moments of silence: "My son is unruly, so it would be better to confine him for a month. As for the rest, I will take the punishment for my poor discipline."
No, Nezha caused such a huge incident, and all you think about is putting him in solitary confinement for a month. Ao Bing's eyes widened in shock.
Even if it's Lingzhuzi, he should loudly tell Li Jing not to spoil the child too much, okay?
Seeing Li Jing's resolute expression, Ao Bing knew that ordinary methods could not sway Li Jing's mind.
Faced with Nezha's angry glare, and remembering that Lord Yuanyi and Senior Brother Dapeng were watching from the side, Ao Bing decided to stop.
"That's fine. I, Donghai, will not pursue this matter. You don't need to be punished. Just discipline Nezha peacefully."
Before leaving, Ao Bing reminded Nezha, "If you ever need anything in the future, you can come to the East Sea to find me."
Seeing that Ao Bing did not take his anger out on Li Jing, Nezha also stopped being angry. He nodded vigorously and said, "Alright, I will go to the East Sea to find you another day."
It's just staying at home for a month. He can find a master to learn some magic, cultivate at home for a month, and then go and have a proper match with Ao Bing.
He'll definitely impress Ao Bing and beat him senseless.
Full of confidence, Nezha stuffed the half-eaten cake into his mouth and then voluntarily went to his father to accept punishment.
