Chapter 77: Chapter 77, Lingzhu Zi

Fu Xi sighed and said, "As expected, I can’t hide it from you. Has anyone else noticed?"

"I dare not speak for others, but that old Bai Ze must have sensed something. However, he wouldn’t dare speak out, preserving his wisdom and protecting himself is his strong suit."

Fu Xi chuckled and said, "I thought I had been secretive enough, but to my surprise, you all guessed it.

Well! Since you already know, let me give you a piece of advice: stay as far away from the Witch Demon wars as possible."

Kunpeng’s eyes gleamed with ecstasy, and he bowed ninety degrees with excitement, saying, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist!"

Suddenly, a Divine Light burst forth from beyond the world.

Kunpeng waved his hand, the world’s lockdown was lifted, and a figure fell swiftly, transforming into a big man, the Fei Lian Demon Saint of the Twelve Demon Saints of the Demon Clan.

Fei Lian Demon Saint laughed heartily and said, "Great Saint Fu Xi is also here; that’s excellent, so I don’t have to make another trip.

Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor—His Majesty the Demon Emperor has prepared a banquet, inviting Great Saint Fu Xi and Kunpeng Demon Master to attend."

Kunpeng laughed heartily and said, "Since the two Majesties have prepared a banquet, we naturally must attend. Great Saint Fu Xi, let us go!"

Fu Xi nodded and said, "Good! Let us go together."

The three figures instantly twisted and disappeared.

...

In the Sky Garden of Emperor Wa Heaven, after the feast, disciples of the Four Sects began to debate the Tao, a lively scene full of argument and contention.

Bai Jin quietly stood up, discreetly leaving the lively plaza to walk toward the outer garden.

Debates were not her forte! She was still too simple and honest, just like a pure snow lotus flower, not stirring the strife of the world.

Bai Jin sighed in her heart, holding a cup of wine to drink by herself as she walked along the shaded path, admiring the beauty of the Sky Garden. Truly a divine creation of the Saint—with beauty every three steps, the splendor of Heaven and Earth.

Moo~

Moo~

A series of urgent cries sounded.

Bai Jin’s expression shifted; was it Kui Niu? She quickly hurried over.

Turning a corner, the view suddenly opened up. Not far beneath a tree’s shade, Kui Niu was laying down helplessly, tied up with a red sash and its mouth also bound, its eyes filled with both fear and humiliation.

Beside it, a mischievous child wearing a bellyband was applying makeup to Kui Niu’s face with a brush—willow leaf eyebrows, enchanting eyes, fiery red lips, and blush that was particularly seductive—a pen capable of rendering all the colors of the world.

Bai Jin immediately shouted, "Stop!" and quickly walked over.

Kui Niu’s eyes brightened, uttering excited muffled moos as it struggled in vain.

The child in the bellyband paused, quickly turned around, hiding the brush behind him, and said discontentedly, "Who are you?"

Bai Jin scrutinized the child and asked, "Who are you?"

The child puffed up his chest proudly and said, "I am Lingzhu Zi of Nuwa Palace! Who are you, daring to shout at me? Looking for a beating?!"

Bai Jin looked at Kui Niu, then at Lingzhu Zi and thought to herself; this brat needs to be disciplined.

...

Inside Nuwa Palace, All Saints also turned their gaze over.

Tongtian spoke with displeasure, "Junior Sister Nuwa, do you not owe me an explanation?"

Nuwa laughed and said, "Hasn’t Bai Jin already left? Let them handle their own matters."

Zhunti spoke with interest, "I’m quite curious about how Bai Jin will handle this."

All Saints continued to watch as the situation unfolded.

...

Bai Jin took a deep breath, gave a thumbs-up, and praised, "This is beautifully done!"

Lingzhu Zi’s eyes lit up with joy, "Really?" and pridefully said, "I also think I’ve done a great job. Sister Cai Feng and Sister Qingluan just don’t appreciate it."

Bai Jin walked up to Kui Niu, examined it in detail, and admired, "The makeup technique is simply too clever. Adding one stroke too many makes it too thick, one stroke too few makes it too faint. Each stroke is as if naturally ordained. I can see the meticulous approach of the artist, and the sincere devotion within."

Lingzhu Zi exclaimed in delight, "Really? I learned this from Sister Qingluan, but I think I’ve done better than her, though she won’t admit it. You’ve got a good eye."

Bai Jin waved his hand, and a shimmering array of hundreds of Merit Money coins appeared, saying sincerely, "I thank you, Fellow Daoist Lingzhu Zi, for dressing up my master’s mount. These are but a small token of gratitude, please do not hesitate to accept them."

Kui Niu looked up at Bai Jin, incredulous, with its entire bovine heart feeling cold. Big brother, you’ve changed; you don’t love me anymore.

Lingzhu Zi’s eyes twinkled. Merit, what a good thing! He hurriedly grabbed, collecting all the Merit Coins into his bag, and laughed heartily, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist! You are a good person, I quite like you..."

Bai Jin said with a gentle smile, "Fellow Daoist Lingzhu Zi, could you please untie this ribbon first?"

Lingzhu Zi nodded repeatedly, "Of course! It is called the Chaos Sky Silk, a gift bestowed upon me by Her Majesty." With a gesture, the Chaos Sky Silk binding Kui Niu instantly transformed into a flurry of red light and dissipated, then reappeared in the palm of his hand.

"Roar~" Kui Niu leaped up, a mixture of shame and anger, and took to the skies on a Thunderbolt.

Bai Jin said anxiously, "This isn’t good, my master’s mount has fled. Take your time, Fellow Daoist, I must chase down the mount."

Before Lingzhu Zi could say a word, Bai Jin had already turned into a Green Light and soared into the sky.

Lingzhu Zi stroked his chin and muttered, "Can dressing up a mount really earn Merit?" Suddenly his eyes lit up, and a grand plan to earn Merit sprang into his mind, thinking he could earn a lot of Merit with his superb makeup skills!

Inside Nuwa Palace, Zhunti laughed heartily, "Senior Sister Nuwa, Lingzhu Zi is doomed."

Nuwa’s expression remained unchanged as she spoke, "You reap what you sow. Isn’t that what your Western Sect preaches?"

Zhunti looked at Tongtian and laughed, "Big brother, Bai Jin has even dared to trick our two Masters. With such behavior, aren’t you going to expel him from our sect?"

Tongtian spoke disapprovingly, "And then, you will take him under your wing?"

Zhunti shook his head repeatedly and said, "I wouldn’t dare! I can’t take such a disciple."

Primordial snorted with laughter hidden within, "You should first see where he’s gone!"

Zhunti turned his head to look outside.

A streak of Green Light crossed the sky, alighted next to the Nine Dragons Incense Chariot, and turned into the figure of Bai Jin.

Bai He, who was guarding the Nine Dragons Incense Chariot, immediately stood up, exclaiming with surprise, "Big brother!"

Bai Jin immediately said, "You go find someplace fun to play, I’ll take care of the Nine Dragons Incense Chariot for now."

Bai He asked confusedly, "Why?"

"You’ll know in a moment."

Bai Jin packed up the Nine Dragons Incense Chariot and shot out as a streak of Green Light.

Bai He, puzzled, muttered, "What’s big brother doing!" Then his face lit up with joy, "Time to play!"

After that, Bai Jin had Golden Horn and Silver Horn take Green Bull away, then leisurely strolled towards the plaza beside the fountain.
