“Whoosh~!”
In the distance, a graceful figure crossed the Endless Mountain Range and arrived before the witch clan warriors.
Looking closely, one could see that this graceful figure was, astonishingly, an unparalleled beauty.
She had a classic oval face, a pair of gentle and graceful beautiful eyes, exquisite features, and fair, smooth skin. Her long, wavy hair fell over her shoulders and fluttered in the wind.
If Lady Nuwa’s beauty was sacred and inviolable, then this woman possessed the beauty of the girl next door. Each had her own charm!
“Fellow Daoist Fang Yang, I hope you will show mercy!”
After arriving, the woman smiled at Fang Yang and spoke softly, revealing her pearly teeth.
Her voice was as gentle as water, making anyone who heard it feel as though they were bathing in the spring breeze.
That was right!
The newcomer was none other than Ancestral Witch Houtu, one of the twelve ancestral witches. She controlled the earth order, and although she was a woman, her battle prowess was comparable to that of an early quasi-saint. She was incomparably powerful.
She was also one of the Three Thousand Dao Listeners at Zixiao Palace.
Although she had never interacted with Fang Yang, she had seen him twice at Zixiao Palace.
“Swish!”
When the many witch clan warriors present heard Lady Houtu’s words, their expressions changed, and they immediately erupted into an uproar.
“What? Ancestral Witch Houtu actually knows him?”
“No wonder he is so powerful and terrifying if he knows Ancestral Witch Houtu!”
“Hiss~! If he had truly attacked just now, we… would probably have already been wiped out!”
“Just what kind of divine being is he? Fang Yang… We have never even heard of his name in the Primordial World!”
“……”
After learning that Fang Yang and Ancestral Witch Houtu knew each other, the witch clan warriors were all incomparably shocked. They whispered among themselves, but no longer dared to raise any battle intent.
At the same time, they secretly rejoiced that Ancestral Witch Houtu had arrived in time. Otherwise, they would already have been wiped out on the spot!
“Hum!”
Just as Ancestral Witch Houtu appeared, another graceful figure also floated down from the firmament, her entire body radiating an ethereal power of creation order.
At the same time, a vast dominating pressure at the early quasi-saint level emanated from her, sweeping across a Myriad-Li Region.
As the many witch clan warriors felt this vast dominating pressure, their expressions changed drastically, their divine minds trembled, and they could not even muster the slightest power to resist.
It was as if, before such a terrifying powerhouse, they were nothing more than a group of ants!
After descending, the graceful figure stood directly before Fang Yang, facing Ancestral Witch Houtu.
That appearance!
It was clearly as though she intended to protect Fang Yang behind her.
This graceful figure was none other than Goddess-Empress Nuwa.
Seeing Ancestral Witch Houtu arrive, she feared that something might happen to Fang Yang, so she hurriedly appeared as well. The moment she appeared, she already displayed the bearing of a mother protecting her young.
“Houtu pays her respects to Goddess-Empress Nuwa!” Houtu said with a faint smile.
Yet she displayed no hostility!
Because although Nuwa was also a member of the demon clan, she was not under Dijun or Taiyi. Nor had she ever had any conflict with their Witch Clan.
“Greetings, Ancestral Witch Houtu!”
Goddess-Empress Nuwa first returned the courtesy politely, then said calmly but firmly, “I will not allow anyone to attack Little Bamboo!”
“Honk, honk, honk~!”
Upon hearing this, Houtu was first stunned, then let out a goose-like cry. Her beautiful eyes swept over Fang Yang and Goddess-Empress Nuwa, as if she had discovered something interesting.
She immediately waved her hands and explained, “Goddess-Empress Nuwa, you are worrying too much. I have no intention of attacking Fellow Daoist Fang Yang. I merely implore Fellow Daoist Fang Yang to show mercy to my people.”
“Little Bamboo, what do you say?” Goddess-Empress Nuwa did not pay Houtu any further attention. Instead, she turned her head and asked Fang Yang softly.
Her attitude was very clear!
If Fang Yang did not want to spare these witch clan warriors, she was willing to fight Houtu regardless of the consequences.
“Since it is Lady Houtu’s request, and I have no grudge against these witch clan warriors, I naturally will not make things difficult for them!” Fang Yang said with a smile.
“Hum!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Yang moved and went directly to the Three Lights divine water.
He first stored away the heavenly dao fragment, then swept out his hand and sent the Three Lights divine water before Goddess-Empress Nuwa. “Goddess-Empress Nuwa, this is the gift I am giving you. Perhaps it will be of immense use to you in the future!”
In truth, Fang Yang was also taking credit for someone else’s gift!
After all, even without his gift, the Three Lights divine water was related to Goddess-Empress Nuwa and rightfully belonged to her.
“Th… thank you!”
Looking at the three-colored Three Lights Divine Water before her, Goddess-Empress Nuwa’s eyes softened. Brilliant light shimmered within them as she softly expressed her gratitude to Fang Yang.
This scene left Houtu completely dumbfounded.
One had to know that Goddess-Empress Nuwa had looked as cold as frost just moments ago, like a sacred goddess who could not be profaned. The power of creation order around her had surged turbulently, and no living being had dared approach.
Yet when facing the gift Fang Yang had given her, she actually… actually displayed such a girlish demeanor?
“The disciple most cherished by the Three Pure Ones, who showed disdain for the meditation cushion position in Zixiao Palace and even slept soundly there!”
“And he repeatedly achieved breakthroughs for no apparent reason before Zixiao Palace!”
“He can even make Goddess-Empress Nuwa value him so highly!”
“Just what kind of existence is this Fang Yang?”
For a moment, Houtu’s thoughts raced.
Without realizing it, a trace of curiosity also appeared in the way she looked at Fang Yang.
As for Fang Yang, he had no thoughts to spare for Houtu’s gaze.
That was because, just after he successfully obtained the heavenly dao fragment, the system notification voice arrived in his mind as expected.
“Ding! Congratulations, host, on obtaining a heavenly dao fragment. Reward: x500,000 breakthrough points!”
That was right!
What made Fang Yang want to cry without tears was that, when he obtained the heavenly dao fragment this time, the System had actually given him a full five hundred thousand breakthrough points as its absurd reward!
“Five hundred thousand breakthrough points? System, are you freaking sure you’re not joking?” Fang Yang roared furiously in his heart.
“Ding! The System has detected that the host possesses sufficient breakthrough points. Automatic cultivation Realm breakthrough in progress…!”
Unfortunately, what responded to Fang Yang was merely the System’s cold notification voice.
