Chapter 872: Eternal and Arbiter (1/2)

“Lieshan, do you fancy yourself a top chaos realm expert in the great wilderness after killing Huashe and Fuzhu?” These were Wahuang’s first words to Lu Yun upon seeing him.

“Why does the holy emperor say so?” Lu Yun replied, flabbergasted. “There’s nothing special about Huashe and Fuzhu. The chaos realm masters who have transformed into suns in the cosmos are all countless times more powerful than them… Why should I feel any sense of accomplishment after killing the two?

“Besides, there are many more great powers in the great wilderness and many connate demon gods who can take my life. In fact, Luo Houluo can also kill me with a single thought. He must have stayed out of this conflict out of respect for you...”

Wahuang glared at him ferociously. “What am I supposed to say after you’ve said all this? I’ll give you another chance!”

After a bemused pause, Lu Yun ventured tentatively, “The holy emperor is right. Fuzhu and Huashe are both connate demon gods. Since I could kill them, I must be one of the greatest powers in the great wilderness.”

“Watch your arrogance!” Wahuang scoffed. “Fuzhu and Huashe are nothing special. It’s no great deed that you managed to kill them! The connate gods who have transformed into the suns in the cosmos are all far more powerful than they are!”

Ehh… Lu Yun swallowed his protests.

“There’s no place for your arrogance here, you must learn to be humble! There’s no shortage of great powers in the great wilderness who can take your life!”

Lu Yun remained silent until Wahuang shot him a sideways glance. “How droll. Remember not to take the words out of my mouth next time!”

“Understood, I won’t!” Well, this holy emperor of the human race, the Lady Nuwa he’d heard so much about in future legends, was certainly quite different from what he’d imagined.

“Alright, why did you come to Mount Buzhou this time?” Wahuang asked in a softer voice, gracelessly sprawling into a cross-legged position onto a nearby azure rock.

She’d assumed that Lu Yun would either stay in a human tribe and cultivate studiously, or pay a visit to the Mu Tribe in the East Sea so he could ask Ling Weiyang to acquire the Constellation Willow from Luo Houluo.

But here Lieshan was, in Mount Buzhou.

Lu Yun hurried to explain, “In response to the holy emperor...”

Wahuang waved a hand at him and interrupted, “Though you haven’t reached the chaos realm, you are capable of killing those in the realm. That makes you one of us. You may call me ‘fellow daoist’.”

“Fellow daoist!” Lu Yun sucked in a deep breath and nodded. Then, he gingerly set up a formation to create an isolated space, upon which the little fox popped out of Lu Yun’s embrace.

“Tushan? I thought you didn’t have anything to do with the opposite sex.” Wahuang’s eyes shot wide open. “Taiyi almost divorced Yinglong for you… You… you… Why would you place yourself in a man’s arms?”

The little fox twitched her furry ears. With a flash of dreamlike silver light, she manifested as the stunning woman who could topple a city with her beauty.

“He might as well be a hunk of rock. There’s no space left in his brain for anyone else, so he won’t have any untoward thoughts toward me.” Tushan plopped down on the giant boulder much like Wahuang had.

Lu Yun smiled wryly.

“Yinglong entrusted these to Lie Shan.” The little fox brought out the two eggs. “They’re her children with Taiyi!”

“It’s them! They were born in the great wilderness through Taiyi and Yinglong!” Wahuang couldn’t contain herself when she saw the two eggs and hurriedly muffled her exclamations. “I understand now… Follow me!”

She jumped down from the boulder and made her way to the depths of Mount Buzhou. Tushan transformed back into a little fox and burrowed into Lu Yun’s arms.
