Chapter 235 Unbearable
"Delay is of the essence, Goddess Nuwa, please hurry to the Primordial World and bring blessings to its countless living beings." Chang Hao urged Nuwa to set off quickly, "I will see you off, Your Majesty..."
Once the five-colored stones were gathered, Chang Hao couldn't wait to repair the primordial world that had been split into four continents. Now that the Goddess Nuwa coveted his brothers, Chang Hao was even more eager to send her away and hide his brothers well so that Nuwa wouldn't be able to lay a finger on them.
“Let’s go together…” Nuwa grabbed Chang Hao’s wrist, thinking that this matter could increase Chang Hao’s reputation.
"No need, Goddess Nuwa, please do as you please." Chang Hao thought that Heaven would surely be generous with the merits of mending the earth. Even crows know how to repay kindness, so Chang Hao couldn't possibly try to take advantage of Nuwa's merits.
Seeing that Chang Hao really didn't want to go with her and that her idea of making amends through merit had fallen through, Nuwa hesitated and stammered, but finally gritted her teeth and said, "Chang Hao, I'm very sorry. I broke my promise that day and couldn't get there in time. If Taiyi needs anything from me, please don't hesitate to ask."
The smile vanished from Nuwa's face as she thought of her elder brother; that day was a painful memory for her and Chang Hao.
"Everything is predestined, Your Majesty need not worry." Setbacks will only become motivation, making Chang Hao more courageous with each setback. He was able to make a comeback and defeat Haotian when he was only a remnant soul. Now he can also prove the supreme Dao and bring back Dijun and Xihe.
Nuwa's sadness came and went quickly. She glanced furtively at Yuanshi and secretly slipped Chang Hao a stack of plain silk, neatly folded, with no contents revealed. "Let me tell you, I specially found this. I got it from the Dragon King. I heard it's a treasured edition from the Ancestral Dragon."
This was originally a gift Nuwa intended to give to Yuanshi as a token of her gratitude, and she had put in a lot of effort. Unfortunately, the words Yuanshi uttered were too offensive, so Nuwa immediately changed her mind.
Why should Yuanshi get the benefit? Chang Hao was also confused. Giving it to Chang Hao would prevent him from suffering a loss. Although judging by size alone, it would be difficult for Chang Hao to suppress Yuanshi, but opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
Back in Zixiao Palace, if she hadn't fought for it herself, why would her master have accepted her as a disciple?
Chang Hao was puzzled. "What is it that the Dragon King has but I don't? It's so mysterious. This is impossible..." As he spoke, Chang Hao prepared to unfold the silk to take a look.
Nuwa quickly pressed Chang Hao's hand down, "Watch it slowly when you're alone, I guarantee you'll be amazed."
Nuwa's eyes flickered with shyness and her face flushed. In front of everyone, she took out the improper plain silk. Don't be fooled by Nuwa's daily complaints about Chang Hao being old-fashioned and reserved. The pot calling the kettle black.
If it were just Chang Hao and her, she could appreciate the beautiful scene of Chang Hao's face and the peach blossoms reflecting each other's beauty. But there were other people around, so she felt a little embarrassed. She still had to maintain her image and save face.
Tongtian put down his cup in a daze, looking at the two people's intertwined hands, stroking his chin thoughtfully. Could there be something between Nuwa and Chang Hao? It's very possible, otherwise why would Chang Hao ask Nuwa to save Dijun and Xihe instead of asking them?
Yuanshi gently brushed Kong Xuan aside, took two steps at a time, and aggressively inserted himself between Nuwa and Chang Hao, separating them while pulling back Chang Hao's hand and wiping it with his sleeve.
"Nuwa, please have some self-respect," Yuanshi said bluntly. "Shouldn't you be leaving? There's a great merit waiting for you in the primordial world." He directly ordered her to leave.
Nuwa's face darkened completely as she watched Yuanshi's series of actions. She was even more certain that she had made the right decision. She wanted to remind Yuanshi to be careful of his master and not to eat anything given by his master, but she decided to swallow it back.
Let Yuanshi regret it, it would be best if he could never turn things around. If his master killed him, she would clap her hands in delight. How could there be such a hateful person?
"Chang Hao, you should think about it again. Yuanshi is not a suitable match for you." Nuwa turned and left, not forgetting to tell Chang Hao that she was going to mend the earth. She couldn't imagine Chang Hao being bound to Yuanshi for countless years, and she felt like dying.
Yuanshi was furious. Nuwa's words not only sowed discord but also touched a nerve with Yuanshi.
“Yuanshi, Nuwa has gone to repair the primordial wilderness,” Chang Hao quickly stopped Yuanshi. “If you want to duel, let’s arrange another time.” The two of them didn’t get along either.
Tongtian also stopped Yuanshi, saying, "You can't hit him, you can't hit him, Chang Hao will be heartbroken." After saying that, Tongtian winked at Chang Hao, "You agree, right, Chang Hao?"
"What do you mean by that?" Yuanshi stared at Tongtian with an unfriendly expression. He was originally just a little angry at Nuwa for speaking nonsense, but now his anger was directly transferred to Tongtian.
"Second brother, you're really stupid. Chang Haoming and Nuwa are obviously having an ambiguous relationship. I can see it all. They're exchanging glances and acting all lovey-dovey. Are you getting in Nuwa's way?" Tongtian added fuel to the fire as soon as he finished speaking.
"Nonsense!" Yuanshi angrily rebuked Tongtian, turning his head to look directly at Chang Hao's hand. "This so-called Ancestral Dragon's Collector's Edition is nothing to us. I'll find you something better in the future." Yuanshi casually snatched the plain silk from Chang Hao's hand and tossed it far away.
The white silk was spread out, and a gentle breeze lifted it, revealing only the tip of the iceberg.
"Second Brother, what are you angry about?" Tongtian turned around to pick up Su Xiao.
Chang Hao, with his sharp eyes, spotted two tiny figures wearing jade crowns on the white silk, their clothes disheveled and every detail clearly visible. He gasped, "Damn Nuwa..."
Chang Hao was completely unable to remain calm. The next second, the True Fire of the Sun ignited the white silk before Tongtian could reach it...
"Chang Hao!" Tongtian watched helplessly as Su Xiao turned to ashes. "This was a relic of the Ancestral Dragon. How could it be burned like this?"
What a spendthrift!
Yuan Shi frowned slightly, then chuckled softly, "Chang Hao, there's no need for that. I'm no longer angry."
They had no idea what Chang Hao had just burned.
"Oh?" Chang Hao raised an eyebrow, propped his left hand on his right elbow, and rested his chin on the back of his hand in thought. Yuan Shi had managed to appease himself. What was he imagining? He could do the same next time Yuan Shi got angry.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Shi's eyes deepened; Chang Hao was already very familiar with his aura...
Gently pulling the pensive Chang Hao into his arms, Yuan Shi lightly lifted Chang Hao's chin and swiftly touched his lips with a light kiss...
Remembering how Chang Hao lightly bit him last time, it felt good, maybe...
Tongtian froze on the spot, his mind blank, his eyes fixed on his second brother's earth-shattering actions, a hurricane raging in his brain...
Chang Hao instinctively slapped Yuanshi, then, in a fit of rage, blasted the petrified Tongtian and the successfully stolen Yuanshi out of Heaven, yelling, "Get out of here..."
The shock from Nuwa hadn't even subsided when Yuanshi pulled this stunt, directly stepping on a landmine that Chang Hao couldn't touch.
They didn't even care about the three disciples Tongtian hadn't taken with him in the corner of the main hall.
"Damn it..." Chang Hao's face turned pale and then red. Yuan Shi was really outrageous.
