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

Zhou Yan was so startled that he jumped up from his seat. A beer bottle next to Xiao Yanjun jolted and crashed to the ground, thankfully without breaking.

Little Yama picked up the unopened beer bottle and looked at Zhou Yan with surprise.

"Little one, what's wrong?"

Seeing Zhou Yan's shocked expression, Little Yama couldn't help but release his spiritual senses, but he didn't sense any danger around him.

Sweat beaded on Zhou Yan's forehead.

"When I went to the North Heavenly Gate before, I met the Central Dipper Star Lord who came looking for me."

Little Yama narrowed his eyes.

The Central Dipper Star Lord?!

That old codger isn't staying put in his own little world; he actually dares to cause trouble again?

"What did that guy do to you this time?"

Little Yama's tone was filled with murderous intent.

Zhou Yan said in a trembling voice.

“He knew I was going to Mount Ling and seemed to want to help me, so he gave me a treasure.”

baby?

Little Yama asked.

"Something given by the Central Dipper Star Lord? Is there something wrong with that treasure? Is there a trap hidden in it or something?"

"How could there be a problem..."

Zhou Yan shook his head bitterly.

"What Zhongdou Xingjun gave me was a plain-colored cloud banner. Would Zhongdou Xingjun dare to touch that?"

The Plain Cloud Banner is a magical artifact used by the Queen Mother of the West to guard the Jade Pool. It has an extremely high status. How could the Star Lord of the Central Dipper, with his meager divine position, possibly have any means under the Plain Cloud Banner? Moreover, Zhou Yan had also carefully examined it from top to bottom using his omniscience, and there was nothing wrong with the Plain Cloud Banner.

Furthermore, when Zhou Yan saw the Plain Cloud Banner, the shock he felt from the North Heavenly Gate was so strong that he immediately thought of the shattering of Yaochi and the death of the Queen Mother of the West, just like the True Martial Emperor. It was just a coincidence that the Plain Cloud Banner was obtained by the Central Dipper Star Lord.

Zhongdou Xingjun has lived from the previous dynasty until the Eastern Xia Federation was showing signs of collapse. Heaven knows how many hidden treasures this old fellow has. It's not hard to understand why he has a Plain Cloud Realm Flag.

Therefore, it wasn't until Phoenix Yingcai reminded Zhou Yan that the Queen Mother of the West was not dead that Zhou Yan realized he had been overlooking something.

What was the relationship between the Queen Mother of the West and Nuwa?

Little Yama was pondering Zhou Yan's words.

"The plain-colored cloud banner, the Queen Mother of the West..."

Little Yama was suddenly startled.

"Nuwa..."

Zhou Yan began to regret it; his heart ached with regret.

"Yes, I... I don't know what the relationship is between the Queen Mother of the West and the Goddess Nuwa. I rashly accepted the Queen Mother of the West's treasure..."

When Zhou Yan wanted to marry Bixia Yuanjun, Nuwa directly appeared to Xiao Yanjun and asked him to convey a message.

Now I have obtained the Queen Mother of the West's secret treasure...

Although Nuwa didn't seem to say that she had a bad relationship with the Queen Mother of the West, would Nuwa be angry?

As a mother, Nuwa must be very magnanimous. Besides, she saved Qingqiu, so she certainly wouldn't blame her for taking the Plain Cloud Banner, right?

I hope I won't get beaten up by the goddess Nuwa.

Little Yama suddenly laughed.

"This isn't about whether you have a good relationship or not. Xiao Yan, think about it: if your girlfriend suddenly accepts a very expensive gift from your brother, even if you don't show it on the surface, wouldn't you feel...?"

Little Yama clutched his chest with one hand and said in an angry and resentful tone.

"What does that bastard Qi mean? Giving away such a good thing, did my little Linggan get involved with this guy at some point?"

Recently, I've seen a story about a long-distance relationship. The woman was recovering from an illness at home, and since she wasn't in her hometown, a kind-hearted guy from next door came to take care of her, cooking her three meals a day.

The girlfriend's boyfriend immediately felt extremely anxious and called his girlfriend five times a day to check on her.

What he's afraid of is that his girlfriend will lose control of her genitals because the guy next door is too nice to her.

The Queen Mother of the West now treats Zhou Yan in the same way.

What is this plain-colored cloud-shaped flag? Can you just give that away to anyone?

Zhou Yan began to tremble.

Little Yama shook his head.

"Xiao Yan, you said that when you went to rescue Alona, ​​Nuwa already reminded you that it was the Legend of the White Snake, right?"

Zhou Yan hummed in agreement.

Little Yama asked in return.

Do you know who Bai Suzhen, the White Snake, was the teacher who taught her magic?

Zhou Yan sighed.

"I know, it's the Old Mother of Lishan..."

In any cultivation practice, one must consider both opportunity and talent. For a normal demon, even if you develop sentience and take human form for hundreds of years, if you don't receive the proper Dharma transmission after death, you'll just end up living like a dog after hundreds of years. You might be killed at any time by a passing immortal who doesn't like you.

Bai Suzhen, having cultivated for a thousand years, not only possessed profound magical power but had also reached the brink of ascension.

This is beyond the reach of unorthodox Zen practitioners.

Therefore, in mythology, Bai Suzhen has a very powerful and influential teacher.

Bai Suzhen's master was the Old Mother of Lishan, who was actually an alias or alternate identity of Nuwa.

Therefore, Zhou Yan estimated that if he encountered Bai Suzhen before she began her cultivation, the historical foundation he would establish for Arona in that world would be to take the white snake to Nuwa—no, Nuwa's alternate name—Lishan Laomu.

"This is interesting."

Little Yama used his teeth to open the bottle cap, gulped down half the bottle of wine, exhaled a breath reeking of alcohol, and then said... Qi

“Little one, when you go to the world of ‘The Legend of the White Snake,’ you will definitely have to see the Goddess Nuwa, and you also have the blessing of the Goddess Houtu…”

Because the matter of rescuing Arona required analysis and discussion from Xiao Yanjun and others, Zhou Yan explained all his abilities, which belonged to the Heavenly Emperor's power.

The Shengwu Sword, Thunder Spirit, and Earth Spirit were all obtained from the Heavenly Emperor, and they could all be used in the world of "The Legend of the White Snake".

Based on this, the two gods, Xiao Yanjun and Wuquxing, also made many preparations and proposals for Zhou Yan.

"The skewers are here..."

The barbecue stall owner placed a bowl of skewers in front of Zhou Yan. After the barbecue stall owner left, Xiao Yanjun spoke again.

"Is it possible that, Xiao Yan, you only have the favor of Houtu, and Nuwa might not even blame you..."

When Zhou Yan went to rescue Bixia Yuanjun, Nuwa did not stop him. It was only when Bixia Yuanjun said that she wanted the Five Sacred Mountains Ancestor Spirit to marry her that Nuwa jumped out and said that she would not allow it.

Little Yama guessed that Nuwa had a relatively high tolerance for Zhou Yan's infidelity—or rather, his alignment with the ruling faction.

The favor of Houtu alone might not have displeased Nuwa, at least not enough to elicit any obvious reaction from her towards Zhou Yan.

So the Queen Mother of the West appeared and gave Zhou Yan the plain-colored cloud banner.

"When the Plain Cloud Banner appeared, Goddess Nuwa became angry."

The Plain Cloud Banner is incredibly heavy.

Little Yan grabbed a few skewers of lamb from Zhou Yan's barbecue plate and ate them while talking.

"Little one, when you went to find the Old Mother of Lishan..."

Little Yama winked at Zhou Yan, his mouth full of grease.

"The Queen Mother of the West could sit behind and watch what Nuwa did..."

Si Xiao Yanjun used his hand as a knife and made a cut on his neck.

Zhou Yan's body trembled violently, and his heart felt as cold as if it had been frozen to absolute zero by Xuanwu.

"I'm punishing you..."

Zhou Yan collapsed to the ground with a thud, his knees buckling.

Little Yama laughed heartily.

"Xiao Yan, did you offend the Queen Mother of the West in your past life? It's one thing for Yinglong to amuse you, but now the Queen Mother of the West is here to amuse you too?"

Zhou Yan, who had fallen to the ground, placed one hand on the edge of the dining table and used it as a base to prop himself up.

As Ling's head was lifted from under the table to the tabletop, Zhou Yan said in despair.

Collect "I, I, damn it..."

Is Queen Mother Soxi enjoying herself?

Seriously, being chased by a group of true god corpses at the South Heavenly Gate is one thing, but why would a great goddess like the Queen Mother of the West find it amusing?

I even offended the Queen Mother of the West back in the day.

Bai Ze!

Just how heinous things did you do back then that Yinglong and the Queen Mother of the West are here to tease you?!

……

Taiyuan Realm.

Yinglong lay on the ground, and his rebellious daughter Yingcai, with a bruised and swollen face, covered her mouth where half of her teeth had been knocked out, and said...

"Mom, I... I've done what you asked me to do. I called Bai Ze."

Yinglong stretched out his dragon claw and touched the head of his own daughter.

"Yes, that's a good child. If you listen to Mommy from now on, Mommy won't treat you badly."

Yingcai lowered her head, her tearful eyes gazing at the teeth around her.

Not long ago, Yingcai was enjoying a delicious meal in a nearby city, but after only eating half of it, she saw a claw extend from the void and drag her from the human city to the Taiyuan Realm.

Then Yinglong issued orders to his daughter in a condescending tone.

"Go call that little rascal Bai Ze and tell him that the Queen Mother of the West is still alive."

Phoenix Yingcai had been tolerating her mother, who had been monopolizing her sycamore tree and acting superior because of her age, for a long time. This time, however, her mother's unreasonable and domineering orders made Yingcai explode.

Without saying a word, he engaged in a shameless and ill-mannered one-on-one fight with his mother.

The result is no different from what has happened over the past few thousand years.

Phoenix Yingcai was beaten black and blue by her own mother, losing half of her teeth. Then, she was humiliated by Yinglong and pinned to the ground, where she made a phone call to Zhou Yan.

"Hmph hmph hmph~~~"

"Huh? Huh? Huh?"

The phoenix, filled with humiliation, slightly raised its head.

Although she was still very unhappy, Phoenix Yingcai could clearly feel that her mother was in an unprecedented state of joy, and even the tunes she hummed were filled with indescribable happiness.

Yingcai asked, puzzled.

"Mom, what do you mean by saying the Queen Mother of the West is still alive? Are you happy that she's alive?"

Yinglong's face was full of joy.

"What does it matter to me if the Queen Mother of the West is alive? What makes me happy is that little Bai Ze is probably crying in his blankets right now because of what I said."

"Hey Hey……"

Phoenix Yingcai looked completely bewildered.

What is my mother saying?

Chapter Ten: Dharma Seals

three days later.

Zhongzhou City, Daxing Hotel, Zhou Yan Suite.

As Zhou Yan was lying in bed sleeping, he turned over, and his phone, which was on the bedside table, rang.
