Chapter 364 - Goddess by the Pool (1/2)
Chapter 364 G.o.ddess by the Pool
The colorful clouds were the boots, and the auspicious light accompanied the good fortune. Although the treasure image was powerful, there was a Saint to supplement the universe.
Li Changshou was still caught off guard when he saw the appearance of the G.o.ddess Nuwa.
Why?
It was indescribable. However, using words like ‘beautiful’ and ‘moving’ were disrespectful to Saints.
She was like the perfect realm that Connate lifeforms of the Primordial World could reach. With just a glance, she could make one’s mind extremely calm.
Amidst the golden light, Li Changshou could not see clearly how the Saint had taken a few steps and returned to her seat.
He seemed to be in a daze. When he returned to his senses, G.o.ddess Nuwa was already seated under the huge golden statue that had a human body and a snake tail. Her left hand swayed gently, and her loose sleeves fluttered slightly. “Sit.”
Li Changshou and the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du thanked him and sat down neatly.
The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “Aunt-Master, Changgeng has yet to officially become a disciple of Teacher. However, he has already received Teacher’s teachings and has contributed greatly to Ren School. If you don’t like Changgeng’s schemes against the demons, I’m willing to be punished together with Changgeng.” “The longevity of the various races has its own set of rules. The battle between humans and demons has its own set of rules. There’s no need to mention it.”
Although Li Changshou had heard that voice before, he still felt that…
It was indescribable.
G.o.ddess Nuwa continued, “Water G.o.d, the Jade Emperor seems to be rather afraid of the Golden Crow Clan’s orphan.” “This…” Li Changshou stood up and cupped his hands. He lowered his head and said, “Saint, The Golden Crow Clan’s Lu Ya and the West Ocean offended the Jade Emperor first. They even stopped the Heavenly Courts from killing the demons. That’s why the Jade Emperor is unhappy.” G.o.ddess Nuwa said, “Be it because Lu Ya had committed an offense previously or because the Jade Emperor felt that the Demon Court’s Crown Prince should not exist in this world, I once promised my old friend to protect me.” Li Changshou frowned slightly and said, “I will pa.s.s on the Saint’s decree to the Jade Emperor without missing a single word. However… If Lu Ys acts brazenly because of your words and humiliates the Heavenly Courts…” G.o.ddess Nuwa said calmly, “If he appears again and obstructs the Heavenly Courts, it will be fine even if you kill him.” “I understand. Thank you for understanding the Heavenly Courts.” Li Changshou bowed and took his seat again.
“Heh…”
Li Changshou and the Great Daoist Master subconsciously looked at the throne under the statue.
Not to mention Li Changshou, even the Great Daoist Master could not see the exact appearance of G.o.ddess Nuwa. He could only see a blurry shadow. G.o.ddess Nuwa leaned to the side and supported herself with one arm on the armrest of the throne. Her slender fingers were pressed against the corners of her eyes. Her voice was a little teasing and leisurely. “Water G.o.d, you really live up to your name. You just called yourself a disciple and called yourself a little G.o.d when it comes to the Heavenly Courts. If the human race can have a few more strategists like you, they can help the Heavenly Courts prosper.”
Li Changshou put on a reserved expression and smiled. “G.o.ddess, you flatter me.” “However, Water G.o.d…” A sharp gaze seemed to be directed at him from the throne. Li Changshou froze.
His fingers trembled slightly, and his eyebrows twitched slightly. There was nervousness in his eyes. Suddenly, he felt a figure swaying beside him with the clouds.
“Being overly thorough is a flaw in itself. What are you afraid of?”
Then, that gaze disappeared. There was nothing strange around Li Changshou, but his mind was already twisted.
Is this a Saint?
They were on completely different levels!
At that moment, his guard was almost broken… Previously, in front of the pavilion, Li Changshou could sense that G.o.ddess Nuwa was not investigating him and was only chatting with him. Li Changshou had also considered it and had not hidden it. However, as long as he was thick-skinned enough and refused to admit to it, he would be able to make use of the power of the Grand Pure One to resist the pressure from G.o.ddess Nuwa.
However, he did not expect that after G.o.ddess Nuwa appeared, she would only look at him and say some words with hidden meanings…
He almost knelt down.
Existences like Saints were too overpowering. Li Changshou secretly glanced at the Great Daoist Master and saw that he was smiling warmly. He was studying the materials and patterns on the short table in front of him. He did not hear what G.o.ddess Nuwa had said. Of course, he might have heard it and was playing dumb…
At that moment, light footsteps could be heard. A few fairies floated over with trays. They served fruits, tea, and two brocade boxes to Li Changshou and the Great Daoist Master.
The Great Daoist Master was very relaxed at that moment. He smiled and said, “Aunt-Master, are you going to give me treasures?”
G.o.ddess Nuwa said softly, “The two of you are the disciples of my Senior Brother, the Grand Pure One. Senior Brother has helped me many times in the past. Why can’t I give you some benefits?”
“Thank you, Aunt-Master.” The Great Daoist Master picked up the brocade box and opened it. There was a pearl inside that shone with rays of light.
Li Changshou picked up the brocade box in front of him and called out to the PaG.o.da Master in his heart. Then, he opened the brocade box a little…
Crack!
Li Changshou slammed the brocade box shut. His face was pale, and his breathing stopped. His entire body…
No, I’ve been tricked!
Li Changshou immediately reacted. Just as he was about to restore his expression and open the brocade box completely, he heard G.o.ddess Nuwa chuckle again! There was a hint of playfulness and mockery, as if he was saying, “I’ve caught you!” Li Changshou suddenly looked up and saw G.o.ddess Nuwa flicking her finger on the throne.
Ta…
Like the sound of water dripping, the surrounding universe was stretched infinitely. The figure of the Great Daoist Master, the setting in the hall, and the throne of the Saint disappeared at the same time. Only Li Changshou was left sitting in front of the short table. His surroundings were blank. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the Saint’s throne. There was a pavilion standing alone in the white emptiness. It was the pavilion on the island that he had seen previously. Li Changshou took a deep breath and felt that there was a b.l.o.o.d.y “danger” engraved on his forehead! Li Changshou could not sense the Dao runes of the Taiji Painting or the PaG.o.da Master’s location. He looked inside himself and realized that his essence soul was almost frozen…
Now, his mind seemed to be trapped in a tiny time scale.
Of course, resigning to fate had never been his life motto. Although he was completely pa.s.sive now, he could still find an opportunity to reverse the situation.
He had been acting for so long, but he did not expect that he had made a mistake…
What was in the brocade box? What could make him, the Little Daoist Master lose his composure in an instant?
It was very simple. It was a card. The ‘big trump card’… was the big trump card in the game of cards in his previous life. It was also known as the Big Ghost Card.
At the same time, it was also a reserved item of the Little Qiong Peak, the “Golden Immortal Card” among the Great G.o.ds!
A wise man would definitely make mistakes. G.o.ddess Nuwa was indeed impressive. She had grasped the changes in Li Changshou’s mind. She knew that Li Changshou would definitely act dumb in front of the pavilion and not take out that card. Previously, she had taken a step back and given Li Changshou a mental blow in a subtle situation! When Li Changshou lost control of his expression, he lost…
However, Li Changshou felt that it was not too embarra.s.sing to lose to a Saint…
If he could return alive, he would copy the Steadiness Sutra a few thousand times. Li Changshou naturally understood. When he was dealing with the three questions from the Saint in front of the pavilion, he should not have made too many mistakes… However, the Saint had already confirmed that he had come from another place. At that time, the Saint was only confirming if he was the person she was looking for… The pavilion slowly enlarged. Li Changshou stood up. It was as if his mind was wandering in the void and his essence soul had left his body. He felt that he was light and did not feel real. The Saint did not kill him directly. There should be a chance for him to turn around. He heard Nuwa’s voice. This time, she did not have those mysterious Dao runes and did not have much emotion.
It was as if she had become another person. “Don’t worry. I have no ill intentions towards you. Although your situation is special, it is no different from the essence of the human race. You can become an immortal and live forever. You have naturally obtained the approval of the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao has acknowledged your existence. As a former human, I will not make things difficult for you. Come in.” With a creak, the pavilion arrived in front of Li Changshou. The two wooden doors slowly opened, revealing the arrangements inside. There was a warm-colored carpet, hanging curtains everywhere, a pool filled with dense rays of light, two bookshelves beside it, and various fruits and delicacies scattered on the ground.
