Chapter 255 Kidnapping
Nuwa hadn't expected the Primordial Purple Qi to come so easily, and for a moment she was somewhat incredulous, "You really gave it to me? Without any conditions?"
Nuwa was originally prepared to bleed a lot, but now she can save herself the trouble.
Chang Hao felt that Nuwa was being too long-winded today, and pretended to take back the Primordial Purple Qi, saying, "Don't give it back to me."
If it weren't for the fact that Fuxi died for Dijun, how could Chang Hao have been so generous? Even if it was shattered, it was still the priceless Primordial Purple Qi.
“It’s already been given, there’s no reason to ask for it back,” Nuwa quickly put the primordial purple energy into the Lotus Lantern, fearing that Chang Hao might change his mind.
The Primordial Purple Qi was hard-won. With it, once Fuxi unified all the tribes of the human race, she could welcome Fuxi back to his position and enjoy the eternal worship of the human race.
"Xiao Shi, I don't know how to thank you enough, you've been so good to me..." Nuwa leaned close to Chang Hao, her fingers itching to reach out and touch his face. She had been coveting that exquisite face for a long time.
It's a pity. If I had known that Xiao Shi was Chang Hao, I would never have returned Xiao Shi. I only kept him for a few days, which was not enough.
"Snap..." Chang Hao unfolded the Jade Fan, anticipated Nuwa's movements, and narrowly blocked Nuwa's wicked fingers, saving his face.
"You know I'm good to you, why don't you restrain yourself a little?" Chang Hao gritted his teeth. He could find many human flaws in Nuwa, especially her gossip, perverse sense of humor, and tendency to take advantage of others, which he deeply abhorred.
Nuwa was extremely disappointed that she couldn't make a face. She reluctantly put her hand down. She had only managed to make a few faces of Xiao Shi a few times when Xiao Shi briefly stayed in the Nuwa Palace, and each time it was a difficult task.
After retrieving the Jade Fan, Chang Hao deliberately distanced himself from Nuwa. This woman had a terrible sense of humor; he shouldn't bite his face later. He was already so old; he needed to know his limits.
"You've already got your hands on the Primordial Purple Qi, aren't you going to secretly keep an eye on Fuxi? Don't let Fuxi die of old age before you know it." Chang Hao subtly urged Nuwa to leave. He was in a hurry to go to the East Sea to bring back his brothers. He didn't want them to be taken away by Tongtian for a few days and then be unable to be contained when they returned.
"Alright, alright, I know you're very busy these days. I'll leave now, why rush me like this?" Nuwa held the Lotus Lantern, completely puzzled. She really liked Chang Hao, how strange.
As soon as Nuwa left, Chang Hao hurriedly called to Kunpeng, "Come with me to the East Sea." He was afraid he wouldn't be able to get his brothers back if he didn't go in person.
Above the East China Sea, the sky was ablaze with rosy light. Nine little golden crows soared freely between the sea and the sky, their downy feathers gleaming with golden light, just like their spirits at that moment, full of high spirits.
Tongtian's heart also lit up. This little golden crow truly lived up to its name as a little sun, and he was about to have nine of them. Just thinking about it made him happy.
"Thank you, Celestial Venerable, for taking us out to play..." Boli flew to Tongtian's side, his eyes filled with admiration for Tongtian. "I never thought you really had a way to let us release the True Fire of the Sun and fly freely without affecting the East Sea."
Tongtian stretched out his arm, and Boli rested on it knowingly. Having refined their transverse bones, they could now speak human language and no longer needed to speak bird language.
"It's nothing. If Chang Hao is willing, I can bring you to the East Sea to play every day." Tongtian stroked Boli's fur, and began to plan how to lure the little golden crow. He had already said that everyone should do their own thing, and Tongtian would not give up.
Along the way, Tongtian displayed his power to the fullest, and it seemed that he had reached his limit.
“I know Xiao Shi is worried about us. The True Fire of the Sun within us is extremely powerful. If we were to appear rashly in the primordial world, it would bring annihilation to all living beings on earth. We are already very happy that we were able to come out once.” Bo Li showed his understanding and could not leave a bad impression on the Heavenly Venerable, which would be detrimental to his becoming a disciple.
"He's just too cautious. As long as you control the True Fire of the Sun soon, there's nowhere you can't go." Tongtian's eyes flashed. The little Golden Crow was still too inexperienced, and he immediately saw through Boli's little scheme.
Just when you're about to fall asleep, a pillow is offered to you; what reason does Tongtian have to refuse?
“It’s a pity that the Golden Crow grows to adulthood very slowly,” Zhong Lang landed next to Bo Li, eager to become stronger, but also aware of his own limitations. “I also want to become strong as soon as possible and help Xiao Shi take charge of things.”
"Take charge of the household? Second brother, you have no ambition. Isn't that what Yaochi is doing now?" Yangwu landed on Tongtian's shoulder. "I am determined to fight for Xiaoshi in all directions, take command of the Heavenly Court's army, and be Xiaoshi's solid support."
"Little Jiu, stop bragging. The Demon Master could send you flying 109,000 miles away with a single wing. You'd be lucky if Little Shi could bring you back." Zhong Lang scolded Little Jiu for her unrealistic expectations.
"Stop arguing, stop arguing. Come on, little guys, come back. It's almost time. If we don't go back soon, Chang Hao will get worried." Tongtian directly summoned the little golden crows back, also to put some pressure on Boli. If they didn't speak up, he would take them back.
Boli was anxious and immediately closed his eyes. "Heavenly Venerable, I have heard that you are the most powerful saint in the prehistoric world, wielding the Immortal Slayer Sword, which cannot be broken by any but the Four Saints?"
"Indeed." Tongtian was delighted. He hadn't expected the little golden crow to be so eloquent, praising him so well.
"Could you take me as your apprentice?" Boli knew that if he had a powerful and reliable master, the master would guide him to become powerful.
“This…” Tongtian was in a dilemma. “Although I intend to take on disciples, I’m afraid it will be difficult to explain to my brothers.”
"Please, I'll go talk to Xiao Shi myself." Bo Li knew that once he missed this saint, he would never have the chance to become his disciple again.
"Heavenly Venerable, Zhonglang also longs to become your disciple. In the future, Zhonglang will definitely respect his master and never disobey his orders. Apart from Xiao Shi, you will definitely rank first." Zhonglang flew slowly around Tongtian, a small, fluffy, and chubby ball. Tongtian almost gave in.
"Little Seven also wants to, Heavenly Venerable, if you take me as your disciple, I'll let you stroke my fur every day." Although Zhaoming wasn't very smart, he knew how to follow in the footsteps of his eldest and second eldest brothers, and he would never miss out on any benefits.
Tongtian's fingers twitched. This temptation was too great. You have to stroke its fur when it's young, otherwise it will be harder to stroke it.
"And us..."
Tongtian held a whole bunch of little golden crows in his arms; it was quite a sweet burden indeed.
"Alright, alright, I'll accept you. From today onwards, you are my disciples, Shangqing Tongtian. Once you transform into human form, I will accept you as my personal disciples." Tongtian couldn't resist any longer. What was there to be reserved about? These were the little golden crows he had once longed for but could not obtain.
Now that he has nine, even if he is beaten by Chang Hao and his second brother in a mixed doubles, Tongtian will accept it.
"Greetings, Master..." Even though he was still a little golden crow, Boli insisted on landing on the ground and kowtowing to Tongtian. Although he almost rolled on the ground, only by making the master-disciple relationship a reality could Boli feel at ease.
Of course, Tongtian was relieved. The matter was settled, and his second brother and Chang Hao could do nothing about it. It was these little guys who insisted on becoming his disciples, not Tongtian who had lured them away.
The other little golden crows followed suit, though it looked like they rolled around in the sand, which was quite funny.
"Come on, I'll take you back to Kunlun and familiarize yourselves with the way." Tongtian immediately set to work, stuffing the nine little golden crows into his sleeve.
