CHAPTER 503: CHAPTER 446, BAI JIN’S SOPHISTRY

Bai Jin’s mind raced, but he feigned a look of great injustice and cried out, "My Lady, I am wronged! I have always been loyal to you without fail."

Nuwa’s eyes flickered with a cold light as she smiled slightly, saying, "Then let me ask you, where is the Xuan Turtle I rewarded you with?"

Xuan Turtle? Could it be that Nuwa knows I gave the Xuan Turtle to Peace Heart Lady? That shouldn’t be the case!

With skills honed over billions of years, Bai Jin quickly guessed what might have transpired, feeling fortunate that it was only the Xuan Turtle and not something else involved. It was strange though, both goddesses usually do not interact, so why are they now in cahoots?

A strong sense of crisis surged in his heart. If the two goddesses really started communicating, I might be in deep trouble!

These thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and on the cushion below, Bai Jin acted very honestly, nodding continuously as he said, "Reporting to my Lady, I gave the Xuan Turtle to Peace Heart Lady."

Nuwa laughed softly, "You’re honest indeed. Then tell me, why did you give away the Xuan Turtle I bestowed upon you to Peace Heart? If you cannot explain––"

Nuwa stretched out her hand, and a whip appeared in her palm emanating the Xuanhuang Light, which was indeed the Gourd Vine used in ancient creation.

Bai Jin shuddered and hastily cried out, "My Lady, I did it all for you!"

Nuwa frowned slightly and said, "For me? Did I instruct you to give the Xuan Turtle to Peace Heart?" and with a snap of her whip, she added, "Without a reasonable explanation, I won’t forgive you lightly."

Bai Jin carefully said, "My Lady, do you remember when you previously told me to get close to Peace Heart to spy on her movements for you?"

"You seem to have uncovered nothing."

Bai Jin coughed awkwardly twice, then explained, "Reporting to my Lady, although I have been trying, Peace Heart Lady still has her guard up against me. I believe that given more time, I will surely infiltrate the enemy ranks.

This gift to Peace Heart Lady was intended to deepen our feigned affection to better serve you in the future."

"I had two divine items in hand; one was a black chicken I raised with all my heart, and the other was the Xuan Turtle you gave me.

I thought that the Xuan Turtle was nothing more than a trifle for you, and not very precious.

Whereas the black chicken, though less valuable than the Xuan Turtle, represented my deep affections for you, so I offered it to you. Reluctantly, I handed over the unwanted Xuan Turtle to Peace Heart Lady to gain her trust, thus serving you better in the future."

As for service and infiltrating the enemy, Nuwa cared little, focusing only on the black chicken Bai Jin passionately raised and gave to her. To her, who was more significant became clear, and her mood instantly brightened.

Nuwa showed a smile and said, "Rise!" The small whip disappeared.

Bai Jin sighed in relief, "Thank you, my Lady!" and quickly got up.

Nuwa, smiling, said, "My legs are a bit sore."

Bai Jin hurriedly jogged over and sat on the glossy Nuwa Stone, beginning to massage Nuwa’s legs.

After a moment, Nuwa said, "Bai Jin, do not trouble Buddhism in the future."

Bai Jin, puzzled, asked, "Why?"

"Not long ago, All Saints gathered at Zixiao Palace, and the Taoist Ancestor said that Buddhism shall thrive for one Calamity, for such is the grand trend of Heaven and Earth, to go against it will invite natural disasters."

Bai Jin nodded in agreement, "Yes!" Thoughts raced through his mind; All Saints met at Zixiao Palace, did Peace Heart Lady attend? So it was the Taoist Ancestor scheming against me.

Shortly after, Bai Jin withdrew completely from Wa Emperor Heaven, crossing through Chaos and returned inside Heavenly Court.

Bai Jin strode into the Bird’s Nest.

At the chess room’s entrance, Long Ji grinned and said, "You see, I was right! Master is back now."

A Xiu nodded subconsciously; indeed, just as her two senior sisters said, Master returned unscathed, but where did that bolt of lightning just come from? I heard that the master’s aunt is the Heavenly Tribulation Master; could it be she was summoning Master?

Bai Jin walked along the small path, and as he stepped out, suddenly underfoot there appeared a pitch-black black hole.

"Ah~" Bai Jin screamed, tumbling headlong into the black hole, which abruptly closed and vanished.

Is Master gone again? A Xiu slowly turned her head towards Long Ji, confused, she asked: "Senior Sister, is this normal?"

Long Ji nodded, matter-of-factly stating, "Yes! This is more than normal."

Stretching out a hand, she clapped A Xiu’s shoulder and said, "This kind of thing often happens to Master, you’ll get used to it."

Next to them, Jingwei seriously said, "Don’t steal, this is the punishment for Master stealing."

A Xiu nodded subconsciously, considering teachings from her senior sister as truth, becoming immortal and still experiencing danger from stealing!

Meanwhile, Bai Jin passed through a pitch-black passage and with a thud fell to the ground, quickly rolled over to stand, shook his head, looking around, he was in Pingxin Palace, looking up he saw Peace Heart Lady on the main seat, he sighed sorrowfully, indeed his fortunes had toppled.

Bai Jin, strive on, for you can certainly steer both ships back onto the right path.

Bai Jin hurriedly bowed joyfully, exclaiming, "Disciple pays respects to the Lady, wishing Lady auspiciousness and radiance."

Peace Heart Lady, smiling gently, said, "Little White, was the black chicken I gave you delicious?"

Bai Jin sternly reminded himself inside, hold firm, definitely don’t be deceived by Peace Heart Lady’s kind demeanor, she must be angry otherwise she wouldn’t have made me go around in black holes and become disoriented.

With a sincerely bashful look, Bai Jin said quietly, "Lady, the black chicken was given to Nuwa by your disciple."

Peace Heart Lady asked lightly on the surface, "Why did you give it to Nuwa?"

"Lady, all I did was for you!" Bai Jin said with utter sincerity.

"For me? Little White, what do you mean by this?"

Bai Jin said sheepishly, "Reporting to the Lady, a long time ago, you commanded me to infiltrate Nuwa Palace, to earn Nuwa’s trust and provide you with information. Ever since accepting this task, I have worked tirelessly, daring not slacken.

This time, giving a gift to Nuwa was to please her, thus probing information from her because recently I felt Nuwa seemed a bit off, she appears to have very deep and intricate plans."

"Oh~ Did you find anything out?"
