Hong Huang: I Kept Offering Poisonous Plans! Hou Tu Urged Me to Calm Down

Chapter 35: Xi Wangmu: My Cloud Bed! Xuan Ming Takes the Lead!

Since she had agreed to Chu Xuan’s request, Xi Wangmu immediately stood up and prepared to head to East Kunlun.

Chu Xuan and Xuan Ming stayed here to wait for news.

Once Xi Wangmu left, there was nothing that could limit Xuan Ming anymore. After holding back for a while, Xuan Ming finally spoke with interest.

“You’re really not scared at all!”

Chu Xuan knew exactly what she meant. Sitting on the cloud bed and eating the spiritual fruit prepared by Xi Wangmu, he smiled and replied, “What is there to be afraid of? Or rather, what does our Wu race have to fear? Even if a flaw is exposed, so what? She’s a smart person, at least smarter than Dong Wanggong. She won’t turn hostile. That’s also the reason I decided to ally with her.”

Xuan Ming heard this and was somewhat pleased. Watching Chu Xuan with his confident look, she couldn’t help but feel a stir in her heart. Laughing grandly, she slapped her thigh.

“Well said! Our Wu race really has nothing to fear!”

In fact, as a member of the Wu race, Xuan Ming wouldn’t fear these things. Even if they acted openly, she wouldn’t be afraid of anyone.

She was an Ancestor of the Wu, but still a Wu. The Wu race didn’t care about such things—whether it was hatred or anything else, it didn’t matter.

Fighting was the way to go!

But this time, it was done secretly, and framing others in front of everyone gave her a different kind of experience, which made her uncharacteristically nervous. Or rather, it wasn’t so much nervous as it was interesting.

In the past, when they carried out sneak attacks or stirred up trouble, they always hid.

“I think I understand why you, little brother, enjoy using poisonous schemes so much!”

Xuan Ming’s attitude relaxed more and more, gradually returning to her carefree manner. She smiled and looked at the side of Chu Xuan’s face.

However, upon hearing this, Chu Xuan furrowed his brows.

“What do you mean by poisonous schemes! How can this be called a poisonous scheme! Have I ever harmed them? That’s just human nature, the law of the heavens, part of all things. It’s the Dao! We, are practicing a new way of the Dao!”

Chu Xuan spoke firmly, not allowing himself to be slandered.

Xuan Ming was stunned again.

Then, seeing Chu Xuan’s eyes brighten more and more, she suddenly laughed loudly, and her cold and aloof appearance shattered into pieces.

She bit Chu Xuan’s ear and said, “Little brother, you are really special. You’re no ordinary Wu…”

Then, before Chu Xuan felt his ear itch, a great force suddenly hit his chest.

He was pressed back onto the cloud bed.

The cold and alluring woman in front of him had a faint blush on her cheeks, mixed with some of her usual cool and detached aura.

A hint of excitement flashed in her eyes as she straddled Chu Xuan and said the final words.

“I really like this! When I like something and have an idea, I’ll definitely do it! I understand the thoughts of my elder brother and yours. As for you, little brother, it’s not impossible! I am a Wu, a Wu Ancestor. I’m not afraid of anything, little brother!”

Chu Xuan inhaled sharply.

“Don’t do this, this is someone else’s Dao Field!”

Xuan Ming didn’t care.

“Don’t think I don’t know, you kept staring at her just now, just like that Nuwa!”

………

When Xi Wangmu returned from Mount Sanqing and entered the secret realm, she immediately sensed that something was wrong.

On the sacred mountain of the secret realm countless mists of the Dao of Ice shrouded the sacred mountain, dispersing all prying eyes and gazes.

But — and this is crucial — Xi Wangmu wielded the pure Yin Dao, and the first strand of pure Yin energy in the world had taken form. There was a reason why she was destined to become the leader of the female immortals.

She had guessed something.

Her cheeks flushed.

She spat, “That’s my cloud bed!”

And also, would the Taiyi and the great master break it?

………

After a long time—months, even years—

Xi Wangmu knew that it probably wouldn’t break.

Her gaze lingered on the two figures walking down the sacred mountain, and Chu Xuan appeared as natural as ever, completely unaware.

“Fellow Daoist, you’ve waited a long time!”

Xi Wangmu almost spoke but stopped.

But looking at the radiant two, she finally swallowed her words. Besides, this kind of thing wasn’t something that happened frequently in the still primal world of the Primordial Realm.

This is my home! It’s also my cloud bed!

Xi Wangmu spat in her heart again.

Finally, she spoke.

“I haven’t waited long. Since you two have just arrived at Yaochi, if you have any thoughts, feel free to stay longer!”

“Are you serious?”

Originally, Xi Wangmu was only being polite, but unexpectedly, Xuan Ming, leaning against Chu Xuan, brightened up and seemed eager to try.

Yes, she was getting a taste for it. Having never experienced such a battle method before, she hadn’t suppressed Chu Xuan, her little brother, immediately.

This made her quite frustrated. If she had another chance, she wouldn’t lose.

The combative Xuan Ming, following the Wu race’s nature, always wanted to measure who was stronger or weaker.

But this put Xi Wangmu in a tough spot. Her face stiffened as she didn’t know how to respond.

Fortunately, Chu Xuan stepped in just in time to ease the awkward situation, smiling and saying, “If there’s a chance, I’ll definitely do so! But for now, the tribulation is more important! Has the Xi Wangmu already talked things over with the Three Pure Ones?”

Xi Wangmu sighed with relief, feeling more favorable toward Chu Xuan, even though he had used her cloud bed.

But she figured it was probably forced by the Wu Ancestor. How could a mere little shaman resist a Wu Ancestor?

Xi Wangmu nodded and smiled.

“They haven’t fully agreed yet, but it’s almost settled! Though the Three Pure Ones have some differences, for the most part, they are willing to form an alliance with the Wu race. However, the details still need to be discussed between you two and the Wu race!”

Chu Xuan nodded solemnly and said, “That is exactly the intention! Your Majesty’s assistance today, the Wu race will surely remember it. If anything comes up in the future, you can send a message. The Wu race will never forget it!”

Seeing Chu Xuan’s sincerity, Xi Wangmu’s expression softened even more, and she nodded humbly. “It was just passing along a message, a small favor! When you have time in the future, you are welcome to visit, and I will personally welcome you!”

“Wouldn’t dream of forgetting!”

…….

Chu Xuan and Xuan Ming walked out of the Yaochi, and Xuan Ming gave Chu Xuan a half-smile, almost playfully. “Little brother, you’re really good at handling things. Sweeping the mat to welcome people!”

But, as usual, this didn’t faze Chu Xuan, who smiled back and replied, “Which mat?”

Xuan Ming was momentarily stunned, then laughed heartily.

She no longer lingered on the issue of Chu Xuan’s interactions with the Xi Wangmu, as the Wu race wasn’t particularly bothered by such matters. She just liked teasing Chu Xuan, even though she was always seen through and failed every time.

She then shifted the topic with a smile. “So, are we heading to the Three Pure Ones’ territory now?”

Chu Xuan nodded.

“Naturally, but when we meet the Three Pure Ones, you’ll have to go on your own! The Three Pure Ones are quite capable. I can’t be meeting with them for too long, so you’ll handle the discussions with them!”

Chu Xuan quickly relayed his initial idea of the uniting of officials and bandits to Xuan Ming, leaving her stunned.

“This could work!”

In the past, Chu Xuan’s plans were always grand, even when involving deceit. They had a certain scale, but they were generally vague and left the specifics to be worked out by the Ancestors of the Wu. It wasn’t as sinister as now.

Looking at Chu Xuan, Xuan Ming couldn’t help but feel impressed. “It seems I’ve taken advantage of my little brother!”

“With someone like you, little brother, it looks like I’ll fall into your hands sooner or later!”

Saying that, without waiting for Chu Xuan to frown and speak up, she smiled and, with no hesitation, released him, fully assuming the demeanor of a Wu Ancestor leading her tribe.

She tore through the space and headed for the Three Pure Ones’ domain with Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional at the sight of Xuan Ming’s serious manner. After all, the Wu race was the Wu race.

Even after what had just happened, she quickly adjusted and returned to her usual state.

But then again, he and Xuan Ming probably didn’t have much of a relationship. Xuan Ming had felt something, and since Wu Ancestors also needed to reproduce, she had chosen him. He was simply the most suitable candidate.

Perhaps, over time, feelings would develop, but for now, he was simply the selected biological father for the future, nothing more. And perhaps, for him, it was still a fortunate thing.

After sorting through his thoughts, Chu Xuan wasn’t bothered by it.

In fact, for a man, this situation was still a good thing.

After all, both of them were Wu Ancestors, and it wasn’t as though they could easily force the creation of offspring. At least, not from what had happened recently.

He quickly put all that had happened behind him and started to observe the other events unfolding in the Primordial Realm.

The great tribulation was approaching, and the subtle influence of the Ancestors of the Wu was already stirring conflicts and bloodshed. The effects were beginning to show.

As they traveled toward Mount Sanqing, a number of unpredictable Da Luo Golden Immortals, and even more powerful beings, were hiding in the shadows.

Some of the Quasi-Saints’ gazes were even directed from distant regions toward them.

And as for the fleeing Zhun Ti and Jie Yin, that went without saying.

Di Jiang had personally taken action earlier.

Although he hid his Quasi-Saint level powers and clashed with an ancient dragon from the sea, he had chosen to retreat after a single exchange.

The energy of the Quasi-Saints was still shaking the Primordial Realm and causing countless Da Luo Golden Immortals and mighty figures to act wildly.

Zhun Tii and Jie Yin couldn’t escape for much longer!

“Now we just need a trigger, just one trigger!”

“This plan will be pushed to its peak!”

“I want the Saint positions taken from them!”
