Seeing Houtu looking at the little beast on the table expectantly, Nüwa couldn't help but feel curious.
"Fellow Daoist, what are you doing?"
Although the little fellow in front of him was cute, there was no need to keep staring at him.
Houtu smiled mysteriously.
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, you might not know this, but I'm waiting for karmic merit.”
"Merit?"
"That's right, it's merit.”
Houtu said firmly.
Nuwa was confused.
What was this? Where did the merit come from?
Tiandao was not a fool.
On the table, Zhou Yuan swallowed the last spiritual fruit.
Ding! Congratulations to the host for consuming the Connate Spiritual Fruit. Do you wish to exchange for a breakthrough point?
"Exchange!"
Zhou Yuan did not hesitate.
In an instant, the spiritual fruits in his stomach turned into breakthrough points.
His cultivation level, which had stopped at the late-stage Golden Immortal realm, began to rise again.
"This little fellow is about to break through!"
Nuwa's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise.
On the table, Zhou Yuan's eyes were tightly shut. Above his head was a cloud of auspicious clouds, and a golden flower was slowly blooming, shining brightly!
"Hehe, looks like this little fellow is about to break through to the Great Circle of the Golden Immortal Stage.
Fellow Daoist Nuwa, I have to thank you for these spirit fruits.”Houtu said.
Nuwa hurriedly waved her hand.
"Fellow Daoist, you're being too serious. They're just ordinary spirit fruits, not rare items. This little guy was able to break through in one fell swoop because of his own fate.”
"On the contrary, Fellow Daoist, you looked at the little guy with a strange expression. Could it be that you already knew that the little guy would break through?”
Nuwa was curious.
Houtu was stunned and shook her head, knowing that Nüwa had misunderstood.
Before Houtu could explain, Zhou Yuan had already broken through to the perfected Golden Immortal Stage and restrained his aura.
"Uh ~"
Zhou Yuan spat out a virtuous golden cloud from his mouth.
Nuwa's eyes widened as she looked at the cloud.
" This, this is merit!!!"
After a long while, Nuwa finally reacted.
Houtu couldn't help but snicker in her heart when she saw Nüwa's expression.
When he first saw this scene, it was exactly the same as Nuwa's current appearance.
"Uh ~"
While Nuwa was still in a daze, a large cloud of Virtuous Golden Clouds gushed out from Zhou Yuan's mouth.
As Zhou Yuan continued to open his mouth, the Virtuous Golden Clouds quickly filled up Nuwa's dojo.
The entire room was like a golden ocean, making people unconsciously intoxicated.
However, Nuwa still hadn't recovered from her shock.
From the moment the merit appeared, Nüwa's small mouth had been open.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with shock.
The word 'disbelief' was vividly displayed on Nüwa's face.
"How, how is this possible?"
This was the only sentence left in Nuwa's heart.
Previously, when Houtu said that there would be merit later, he was still puzzled as to why there would be merit out of nowhere.
Nuwa didn't believe it.
But now that the merit had appeared before her eyes, Nuwa was even more incredulous.
What a joke!
He had been in the Wilderness for so many years, but he had never heard of merit being spat out by living beings.
Houtu covered her mouth and chuckled when she saw Nüwa's expression.
Then, he began to collect merit points with ease.
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, it's all thanks to you this time.”
Houtu was very magnanimous. With a light wave of her hand, the merit in the dojo was divided into two.
Hearing the voice, Nüwa came back to her senses and her beautiful face returned to normal.
However, the shock in the depths of his eyes could not be hidden no matter how hard he tried.
Looking at the hundred acres of merit in front of her, Nüwa swallowed her saliva, and her heart trembled.
However, Nuwa still maintained her rationality and did not reach out to take the merit.
"Fellow Daoist, what is the meaning of this? This little beast was adopted by you, so what right do I have to receive this merit?”
Even though she was envious, Nüwa still had her own principles.
Houtu smiled and shook her head when she saw Nüwa's reaction.
"There's no need to stand on ceremony, Fellow Daoist Nuwa. Since I've already said that the karmic merit is yours, I naturally have my reasons.”
Nüwa shook her head and looked at Houtu with a determined look in her beautiful eyes.
"I don't accept rewards without merit. Fellow Daoist, although this merit is good, I, Nuwa, am not someone who would be tempted by money.
If Fellow Daoist doesn't make things clear, I won't take the merit.”
As the two of them conversed, Zhou Yuan also looked into Nüwa's eyes.
"As expected of a future Saint."
Zhou Yuan sighed.
Zhou Yuan saw shock and envy in Nüwa's eyes, but he did not see greed.
In other words, from the beginning to the end, even if she envied Houtu for getting the Merit, Goddess Nvywa had never thought of fighting for it.
Houtu was stunned by Nüwa's words.
However, when he regained his senses and looked at Nuwa again, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes.
Not everyone could remain unmoved in the face of such temptation.
While Houtu admired her, she also felt much more at ease about Nuwa.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist. I'm not a guest. It's just that this merit is indeed yours.”
"What do you mean?" Nuwa asked curiously.
"Do you still remember those spirit fruits?”Houtu looked at Nuwa with a smile.
Nüwa was a smart person. She had not reacted before because she was too shocked. Now, after Houtu's explanation, she immediately understood everything.
Looking at Zhou Yuan on the table, Nüwa understood. She recalled what had happened earlier and shook her head with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist, you're really lucky.
He remembered that when he was searching for treasures on Mount Buzhou, Taiyi had mocked you for not getting a primordial spirit treasure and picking up a demon beast cub.
However, he never thought that this little fellow was the greatest opportunity.”
Nuwa's voice was filled with emotion.
Many mighty figures were present during the treasure hunt at Buzhou Mountain.
The Three Pure Ones, himself, Taiyi, and even the doorman of Dao Ancestor, Haotian, had all seen the little guy in Houtu's arms.
However, without exception, none of them could see anything special about this little fellow.
He only treated it as an ordinary demon beast cub.
Houtu was even mocked by Taiyi and Yuanshi.
Who would have thought that such a seemingly ordinary little demonic beast could actually spit out merit?
It was simply unheard of.
In comparison, the few Connate Numinous treasures that they had obtained were instantly inferior.
"I wonder what expression Taiyi and Primordial will have when they find out about this?”
Nuwa thought to herself and began to look forward to it.
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, I've already told you the truth.
This merit should indeed belong to you. You don't have to be polite anymore.”Houtu said to Nuwa.
"Alright, then I won't refuse.”
Houtu and Nuwa sat cross-legged in the Daoist rite hall.
The cloud of virtue was split into two.
Houtu still used the Merit Golden Clouds to strengthen her body like before. After all, the foundation of the Sorcerer Tribe was in this.
However, Nuwa didn't immediately use the cloud of virtue.
Instead, he waved his hand and kept the cloud into his primordial spirit.
The virtuous golden clouds in the dojo were quickly absorbed by the two of them.
Nuwa opened her eyes and felt the changes in her body. She looked at Zhou Yuan on the stone table again. Her eyes were filled with gentleness and a hint of excitement.
