After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

"You little rascal..."

The lips of the statue of Houtu Niangniang are open, and her voice is gentle yet majestic.

Heaven knows that this stone statue didn't have a mouth before, but Zhou Yan saw that Houtu Niangniang's mouth actually had teeth and a tongue.

Does this mean the stone statue has been brought to life?

Considering the supernatural power that just casually created a small world, the ability to bring the stone statue to life is not entirely incomprehensible.

Houtu Niangniang reached out with her other hand and gently pinched Zhou Yan's face, kneading his cheeks softly. But what she said next was a thunderclap in the midst of calm.

"then……"

Houtu Niangniang pinched Zhou Yan's nose.

"You teasing devil, you've really made me furious..."

Zhou Yan: “(ΩДΩ)”

Is it too late for me to kneel down, kowtow, and call her "Mom"?

Empress Houtu, I didn't do that. It was something I did in my past life. Please don't implicate me.

In this life, Bai Ze is a well-behaved child who never offends anyone.

"Roar……"

Houtu Niangniang gently squeezed Zhou Yan's small hand; his soft belly was actually quite hard.

"Scared?"

Zhou Yan's body stiffened with tension after he realized he had angered Houtu Niangniang.

Zhou Yan said in a trembling voice.

"Your Majesty, I... I rescued Bixia Yuanjun."

Houtu Niangniang descended from the altar, her feet touching the ground beneath it, and slowly bent down to sit on the altar.

"Yuanjun is indeed one of my favorite children."

Houtu Niangniang placed Zhou Yan on her soft thighs, her fingers gently stroking his back and head.

how to say?

Zhou Yan had been petted by Yinglong. Yinglong was a tough petting guy. After petting him, the dragon scales between his claws were covered with his own white fur. Zhou Yan was quite uncomfortable being petted.

Houtu Niangniang's hands were much gentler. When she stroked his body, Zhou Yan felt as if a gentle breeze was brushing against his back, which was inexplicably comfortable.

Damn, this is what a real lady of high society looks like. Zhou Yan thought about Yinglong, who raised Yingcai, a hot-tempered older sister. This guy is probably just like Yingcai.

"Your act of saving Yuanjun has also resolved a knot in my heart."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and the muscles in his body that had been tense due to nervousness relaxed considerably.

After touching Zhou Yan's back enough, Houtu Niangniang turned Zhou Yan over so that his lower abdomen was facing her.

"after all……"

Houtu Niangniang looked sorrowful, but her hand still touched Zhou Yan's lower abdomen without any hindrance. Her delicate and warm fingertips, through Zhou Yan's white hair, allowed Zhou Yan's skin nerves to perceive it.

"If it weren't for me back then, Yuanjun probably wouldn't have gone to Mount Ling."

Zhou Yan pondered for a few seconds before tentatively asking.

"Your Majesty, Bixia Yuanjun... what happened back then?"

"What else could it be? The child is growing up, and I want Yuanjun to remarry..."

Houtu Niangniang caught Zhou Yan's paw and touched the fleshy ball on his paw with her fingers. Because Zhou Yan was still young, the fleshy ball on his paw was still pink.

Houtu Niangniang pressed her thumb against the fleshy ball on Zhou Yan's paw, gently rubbing it with her fingertip.

Zhou Yan felt an itch in his claws.

“Men should marry when they come of age, and women should marry when they come of age. I have many talented men under my command, so I arranged a marriage for Yuanjun and betrothed her to Zhubo.”

When talking about Zhu Bo, Hou Tu Niangniang couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou Yan's mind suddenly cleared.

Arranged marriage?

Did Bixia Yuanjun run away from her arranged marriage and go to Mount Ling?

Zhou Yan wondered, what would a great deity like Bixia Yuanjun do at Mount Ling? Now that he saw it, it was so cliché!

Houtu Niangniang placed her other hand, which was holding Zhou Yan's paw-shaped fleshy ball, behind Zhou Yan's head, lifting his head up to meet his gaze.

“Yuanjun was unwilling, so she went to Mount Ling to cultivate with the Bodhisattva of Joy, saying that she should focus on cultivation in the future and that marriage should be postponed.”

"Who knew that once she left, Yuanjun would never return."

Zhou Yan hurriedly replied.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Bai Ze will do his duty to rescue Bixia Yuanjun from Mount Ling!"

"And then what happens after they're rescued?"

Houtu Niangniang's hand slid from the back of Zhou Yan's head to his lips, and her thumb gently pulled his lips up, revealing his teeth.

Young teeth, young teeth, the row of teeth under Zhou Yan's lips are purely young teeth. (Swelling ZAq: □∽⊥…‰ˉ…∴)

This Bai Ze is very young and not nearly as cunning as it was back then. Even if Houtu Niangniang tried to catch the Bai Ze back then, she couldn't catch it or touch its white fur.

"Little one..."

Houtu Niangniang's eyes are like crescent moons.

"What reward do you want from me?"

Zhou Yan spoke with an upright and righteous expression.

"Serving Your Majesty wholeheartedly is Bai Ze's duty, how dare I ask for any reward!"

People who have entered the workforce should understand that some benefits are acceptable, while others are not.

For example, when Boss Cao says to you, "I will take care of your wife and daughter, so don't worry," do you really think he just wants to give your wife and daughter a life of comfort and a promising future?

For example, if you're in a prison cell and a guard who usually looks at you with a fierce expression and doesn't like you at all suddenly tells you what you want to eat for dinner, chicken legs, pork, anything is fine, don't be shy, you wouldn't think that he's taking pity on you and is going to improve your meals, would you?

The benefits of the Goddess Houtu are similar to the moment when Mr. Cao comes to your house for dinner, and after you finish eating, he pats you on the shoulder and says, "Your wife is really something."

Houtu Niangniang changed her tone.

"Don't want a reward? Then tell me about how you infuriated me back then..."

Houtu Niangniang began to touch Zhou Yan's lower abdomen, as if she was about to do something naughty.

Zhou Ba·ˉWu∮∴Liu″∴ˉSiyuen: Yan's four claws immediately grabbed Houtu Niangniang's hand, and hurriedly said.

"As Confucius said, taking the gold will not harm one's conduct, but not taking the gold will prevent one from redeeming people. Although Bai Ze is an honest person who does things for Your Majesty without seeking anything in return, he cannot break the rules or offend his colleagues. Your Majesty, please give him a symbolic reward."

This means that you must receive something in return for doing good deeds, regardless of whether you need the money or not, so that people with limited vision will follow suit and do good deeds.

Houtu Niangniang covered her mouth with the back of her hand and laughed.

"You little rascal..."

Houtu Niangniang removed her hand from her mouth and placed it on Zhou Yan's head, rubbing his head gently.

"...Just like back then, if I don't give you a few warnings, you'll pretend to be confused and won't be honest at all."

Zhou Yan: “(￢_￢)”

Looks like our past lives weren't easy either; these Heavenly Emperors really know how to make people laugh.

"As for the reward..."

Houtu Niangniang pondered.

Zhou Yan looked up at Houtu Niangniang, his heart pounding.

Faced with this Heavenly Emperor, Zhou Yan's all-seeing eye had lost its effect. With a single thought, all things were illusory, and with all things permitted, he couldn't even move a 0.001% possibility.

All of Zhou Yan's past supernatural powers used to control the future were a joke to Houtu Niangniang.

In today's environment, people are truly at the mercy of others. So, what if Hou Tu Niangniang offered some conditions to bind herself to her later, such as having several children who wanted to marry her, or requiring her to marry Hou Tu Niangniang's children?

What should I do myself?

Zhou Yan was certain that if he were betrothed to Houtu Niangniang's child, and he dared to say that he was a boy, Houtu Niangniang would say, "Gender is not such an unchanging thing."

This Heavenly Emperor definitely possesses magical powers to impregnate men.

Zhou Yan's heart pounded, and various thoughts raced through his mind.

At this moment, the Goddess Houtu grabbed Zhou Yan and placed him in front of her.

Then, keep getting closer.

Zhou Yan initially thought that Houtu Niangniang was trying to rub him again, but when he was less than five centimeters from Houtu Niangniang's face, Zhou Yan realized something was wrong.

Houtu Niangniang kissed Zhou Yan's cheek.

When Zhou Yan felt the warm, moist sensation of Houtu Niangniang's lips against his skin, he froze, his hind legs curling up.

Houtu Niangniang gently and carefully placed Zhou Yan on the ground, releasing him from her presence.

Zhou Yan, now on all fours, stared blankly at Houtu Niangniang. He could still feel the gentleness of her lips.

Houtu Niangniang returned to her altar, her head bowed, her gentle eyes filled with compassion.

"You little devil, go and rescue Yuanjun. Tell her that Zhubo is a descendant of Zhujiuyin. That's not an insult to her. Don't be so stubborn."

Houtu Niangniang's body began to harden, and the light she reflected changed from the warmth of flesh to the coldness of stone.

Houtu Niangniang returned from a living being with body temperature and flesh to her previous statue state.

"Squeak..."

"Squeak..."

The window frame crackled and popped...

Zhou Yan turned to look outside the Houtu Palace. Outside the Houtu Palace was the Houde Palace, which was created by the Houtu Goddess with great magic to house a small world. But now, this small world, which should have been a world of its own, was beginning to break down. The barrier between the small world and the big world was beginning to merge back into the big world.

The gates of Houde Palace, which had been closed after Zhou Yan entered, slowly opened, revealing the Kunlun Immortal Palace outside.

So, he's letting me go?

Lu Zhouyan touched his face with his paw. Had he been kissed by the Goddess Houtu?

This feeling of being moved...

Zhou Yan skipped and hopped out of the Houtu Hall and left the Houde Palace.

Final Chapter Rescue

The violent wind began to subside until there was no sound at all.

The Awakened Ones, who had been hiding in various corners of the Kunlun Immortal Palace, emerged one by one from the dark and safe corners, like insects that had crawled out of cracks in the walls and roofs after the rain stopped.

After this unprecedented battle that nearly tore the heavens and earth apart, a battle that all the awakened beings present witnessed in their lifetimes, the Kunlun Immortal Palace, a celestial realm, was surprisingly preserved relatively intact, and none of the awakened beings hiding within it died.

The surviving awakened individuals looked at each other after emerging, and many of them had trembling lips.

No awakened being would doubt the claim that the Kunlun Immortal Palace possesses the power to kill a true god, but isn't this power excessive?

The number of divine remains that just went out exceeded ten.

It should be noted that in the human world, besides the Four Divine Beasts, who are true god awakeners, there are only two additional Star Lords, making a total of six.

"coax……"

A skeletal deity carrying a giant axe landed on the ground, startling the awakened beings around the palace who immediately ran to a corner to crouch down.

The skeletal god didn't even glance at the mortals who looked like ants, but went straight back to his Giant Spirit Temple. The gate that he had smashed earlier seemed to flow backward in time, and reassembled at the door frame of the Giant Spirit Temple.

Then, more than ten beams of light of various colors flew down from the sky. These beams returned to the past, to palaces and areas that the Awakened Ones deemed absolutely forbidden to approach or enter. They then disappeared before the Awakened Ones who came to plunder.

The Kunlun Immortal Palace quickly fell silent again.

The Awakened Ones who had retreated back out came out again, and several leaders of the Awakened One teams who were still clear-headed asked their team members in astonishment.

"That... Bai Ze... no, Bai Ze is dead?"

Even if you couldn't see it, you could hear who the true gods were dealing with when so many true gods ganged up on Bai Ze.
