Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

Seeing that Tengshe did not attack, the white dragon and the green dragon immediately relaxed and nodded repeatedly in response: "Yes, indeed... our dragon clan has some questions that we would like to ask Nuwa for knowledge about."

"Our area happens to be close to this settlement, so we thought we'd come and pay our respects..."

Bai Long was about to continue speaking.

But Tengshe interrupted it directly.

"Hmph, if your dragon clan has any problems, it's not up to juniors like you to come and communicate with Goddess Nuwa."

Tengshe's voice was cold and hard.

The white dragon's pupils flickered slightly, clearly a little guilty. It was afraid that Tengshe would attack without warning, but it couldn't explain to Tengshe the matter of traveling back in time.

It also cannot reveal to Tengshe the matter of the mysterious death of the goddess Nuwa in later generations.

So it's getting a little impatient right now.

It was frantically thinking, trying to come up with a reasonable explanation to fool Tengshe.

However, it hadn't even had time to come up with an explanation.

Tengshe spoke again...

"I have no interest in your purpose, but you should know that the statues here have long lost their divine power, and no matter how much you worship them, you will no longer be able to elicit a response from the goddess Nuwa."

These words left the White Dragon and Azure Dragon, who were pondering an explanation, completely dumbfounded.

Even He Li and the others were stunned.

Are the idols completely useless?

Feng Lizhui didn't mention this, did he? And if the statues here are completely useless, where will they go next to successfully communicate with Nuwa?

For a moment, He Li and the others were at a loss, and the two dragons were even more at a loss for words.

After all, they had all made a wasted trip.

However, Tengshe didn't care what the two dragons in front of him were up to or whether they had come for nothing.

It only happened after it said that...

He retorted firmly, "The idol is of no use to you."

"But you have caused such heavy losses to this settlement; you must pay a sufficient price to compensate for it!"

"Yes! Yes!" the white dragon replied.

It dared not express its dissatisfaction, and only said, "I will immediately contact the other dragon clans to send the compensation. We will also help this settlement to recover and develop in a stable manner..."

"That would be best!"

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face, and since Bai Long had said that, Teng She naturally didn't pursue the matter any further.

Its gaze then turned to He Li and the others.

But its gaze only lingered on He Li and the others for a moment before moving to the two black and white figures from the Netherworld behind them.

"The Envoy of Good and Evil in the Underworld?"

Tengshe's tone was no longer so cold and hard, but it was still not very friendly as he continued to speak...

"What brings you here?"

It asked, which surprised He Li and the others.

The Envoys of Good and Evil from the Underworld? They thought these two black and white figures from the underworld would be called Black and White Impermanence, but they were called the Envoys of Good and Evil from the Underworld instead.

I've never heard of this title before, but it sounds like it's something that ordinary demons and immortals can't compare to.

But what surprised He Li and his group even more was...

The attitude of the Underworld Envoy towards Tengshe.

The white-clad, ghostly messenger, who spoke few words but in a cold tone, retorted, "None of your business!"

The air froze as soon as he said that.

The two dragons that had just relaxed, as well as the snake people in the snake-people settlement below who were all looking smug because of Tengshe's support, and He Li and the others, were all somewhat shocked.

This is the legendary mythical beast, Tengshe.

Even ordinary immortals would have to lower their stance in his presence.

This messenger of good and evil from the underworld actually dared to say something as arrogant as "What's it to you?"

Aren't these two a bit too arrogant?

At this moment, He Li was a little worried. He had thought that the Netherworld Envoy of Good and Evil from the Netherworld could serve as a free bodyguard and help them complete what they needed to do smoothly.

Who knew these two were such troublemakers?

He offended Tengshe right from the start.

Now Tengshe will surely be furious! How could he not be implicated by this Netherworld Envoy of Good and Evil?

Even if he survives this time by sheer luck, what if they act like this again when he's on missions with them? With their attitude, He Li wouldn't have enough lives even if he had ten.

Thinking of this, He Li felt somewhat helpless.

If he had known these two were like this, he should have gone with them to see the Lord of the Underworld first.

Then I'll leave them behind and do something else.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say all this now.

Helpless, He Li could only sigh inwardly...

"Hopefully, the Tengshe isn't that bad-tempered, or... maybe it has some reservations about the Netherworld. Otherwise, we're all going to suffer terribly this time!"

He shook his head inwardly, but then noticed that the surrounding temperature had suddenly increased, clearly indicating that the Teng Snake opposite him had become enraged...

But Tengshe did not make a move.

The expected battle did not break out, which made He Li look up at Tengshe with some curiosity. Only then did he realize that although Tengshe's eyes were fierce and he looked very menacing...

But it seemed as if they were wary of something...

This caused it to suppress its anger and refrain from taking action.

After a brief moment of surprise upon seeing this, He Li's mind raced, and he began to make some guesses...

"Why isn't this Tengshe making a move?"

"It didn't even open its mouth to retort? Could it be that there's something about this Netherworld Envoy of Good and Evil that it greatly fears, preventing it from taking any drastic action?"

"Is it because of the Lord of the Underworld? Or is it that the Underworld's Envoy of Good and Evil is inherently terrifying?"

"It should be the former, right?"

He Li pondered, his eyes flickering slightly.

In his view, if this messenger of good and evil in the netherworld truly possessed such terrifying power, then his subsequent actions might be far smoother and easier than he had imagined.

Even when faced with a powerful enemy, he can recklessly retaliate and invoke the Netherworld Envoy of Good and Evil.

At that point, the enemy will certainly not dare to make a move.

He Li thought about it more and more and it seemed feasible.

His lips unconsciously began to curl upwards.

His sudden smile seemed to give the furious Tengshe, who was frozen in place, a way out, and he turned his attention to He Li, mocking the Netherworld Envoy...

"A dignified messenger of good and evil from the netherworld has actually stooped to protecting these mortals..."

"You guys are getting more and more backward as you get older!"

As it spoke, the black-clad messenger of the underworld sneered, "We are acting on the orders of the Lord of the Underworld."

"What? Are you saying that our Lord of the Underworld is getting worse and worse, actually arranging for us to escort these ordinary, unremarkable guests?"

"Okay, I'll relay that message."

"You..." Upon hearing this, Tengshe, who had just been mocking, suddenly had its pupils contract and its expression changed drastically. It was clear that it was terrified of the Netherworld Evil Messenger's distorted and misleading message.

Because it knew very well that if it displeased the master of the underworld, it would definitely not have a good end.

After all, he is the master of the underworld...

She is a powerful being at the pinnacle of heaven and earth, on par with beings like Nuwa, Zhulong, and the Heavenly Emperor.

If you offend such a powerful being, even if the Tengshe is a divine beast, it could die an unexplained death.

Therefore, Tengshe understood at this moment.

It can't keep wasting its breath on these two.

Otherwise, if the two of them were to go back and distort the truth, exaggerating their own actions and speaking ill of themselves to the master of the underworld, then it would have no way to explain itself and would have no chance to do so.

So, having regained his senses, Tengshe suppressed his anger, resumed his cold demeanor, and spoke again...

"Hmph, say whatever you want!"

"I have no interest in why you came here."

"If you come for the idols, the idols have already lost their purpose, and even if you take them, they will be of no use to you."

"If you have come for any other reason..."

"Then you'd better know your limits, otherwise you might provoke some beings above me and things won't be like this now!" It said without waiting for the Envoy of Good and Evil to respond.

Its figure then transformed into specks of orange-red fire and gradually disappeared into the void.

The scene has completely returned to calm.

But the creatures present were not at peace.

Especially those snake people and two-headed dragons.

The snake people thought that with Tengshe around, no one would dare to oppose them. However, the Netherworld Envoy of Good and Evil forced Tengshe to retreat, leaving them bewildered and somewhat panicked.

The two dragons panicked even more.

Because they had already guessed that the people on the other side were most likely He Li and his group.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why they would coincidentally come here. The two dragons guessed that He Li and the others must have come to communicate with Nuwa.

But that's precisely why they panicked.

After all, He Li and his group now have two terrifyingly powerful individuals who can directly force Tengshe to admit defeat and retreat, protecting them. If He Li and his group were to want to attack them...

They really will die here!

Meanwhile, He Li, who held an absolute advantage, immediately revealed a smug smile after Tengshe left, while also looking maliciously at the two dragons frozen in place...

"Hehehe~ You two, long time no see!"

He opened his mouth with a grin.

The two dragons shuddered upon hearing this.
