Being a Daluo Golden Immortal in the Primordial world definitely doesn't make you some insignificant nobody. Think back to when Yan Zhi first met Nezha—he was just a Heavenly Immortal back then, and now he's reached Daluo status. A wave of "I've really lived all these years only to end up like this" filled her mind.
Yan Zhi glared at Nezha fiercely twice—listening to his random nonsense might be better than this.
As for the completely love-struck Rashamon Lady, jealousy was not in her vocabulary; she simply thought Nezha was truly incredible.
"Wow, you're amazing! Teach me when you have time!"
"No problem."
"Then let's go to the palace we're heading to, hehe!"
Elite hunters often appear in the guise of prey, and Nezha had already started feeling the Rashamon Lady's devious intentions.
Yan Zhi, never one to shy away from drama, remarked with glee, "You two can go ahead and get busy; it's not like things at Nether River Mother's place are super urgent."
Nezha: …
Nezha stared at the eager Rashamon Lady, then glared at her forehead intensely. Can you not have your mind full of such lewd thoughts?
The three of them arrived at Rashamon Palace.
Nether River Mother was already waiting there. After staring at Nezha intently for some time, she finally spoke, "Well, well, what kind of wind has blown Emperor Ziwei to my Netherworld Blood Sea?"
Nezha didn't waste words and went straight to his point: he wanted to take the Rashamon Lady. He believed that letting her nurture the peculiar Blood God's essence would be a good choice, but the Blood Sea was certainly not the ideal place for it to grow.
"I'm willing!"
As soon as Nezha got the words out, the Rashamon Lady immediately exclaimed with excitement.
Nether River Mother felt slightly speechless. She didn't particularly mind sending the Rashamon Lady away, but her unrestrained eagerness made her own maternal role seem utterly lacking in dignity. After pausing for a moment, she stated her condition.
"Kali should be in your possession, right?"
Nezha hesitated slightly at the mention of Kali, then recalled the dark-skinned girl who was always sticking her tongue out. Thinking about her appearance, she was utterly unlike the beautiful women of the Rashamon Clan.
"She's with me."
"Then trade her for the deal."
Kali, whose combat prowess was roughly at the Daluo Golden Immortal level, seemed a bit too valuable to exchange for a Rashamon Lady with True Immortal cultivation. Nezha felt like he might be losing out on this deal.
Operating under the principle of either profiting or negotiating for more, Nezha tentatively remarked, "How about you throw in something extra?"
Nether River Mother nearly laughed in disbelief at his audacity.
"I have another three thousand Rashamon Princesses here. Pick whichever one you like, or take them all as a bundle; that works too."
The Rashamon Lady, fiercely protective by nature, didn't even wait for Nezha to respond before firmly shaking her head, "No, no, no! I can take care of Nezha just fine myself!"
Nezha: …
In the end, Nezha didn't push for more. He handed over the sealed Kali, who was stored inside the Mountain and River Map, to Nether River Mother, although he had no idea what purpose she served. Meanwhile, the Rashamon Lady gained her freedom, and Nezha reasoned that, as she grew stronger, there wouldn't be any need to worry about Nether River Mother going back on the deal.
Bringing the Rashamon Lady away from the Blood Sea, she looked utterly thrilled.
"Do you know why I brought you out?"
The Rashamon Lady replied nonchalantly, "Why doesn't matter; now I'm your person. Whatever you tell me to do, I'll do."
Nezha felt mildly speechless. The situation gave him a strange vibe—he could relate it to the archetype of a delinquent boyfriend who steals someone's daughter.
He took out the Blood God's essence origin.
"Look at this."
The Rashamon Lady stared at the essence and sensed it for a while before blurting out with shock, "You—you and Nether River Mother actually have a child… Boohoohoo!"
Nezha immediately clamped his hand over the Rashamon Lady's mouth. Could you not be so utterly absurd?
After a long explanation, he finally told her the entire backstory, concluding, "Blood Sea creatures are emotional, violent, and unruly, but you are pure-hearted, mild-tempered, and graceful. That's why I wanted you to look after this child."
The Rashamon Lady's face lit up with joy as she cradled the Blood God's essence origin. "Don't worry; I'll treat him like our son!"
Nezha sensed something wasn't quite right but couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was. Whatever—he had seen this kind of scenario play out before. If this child ended up calling him "big brother" in the future, it might even work out perfectly as a Three Brothers of the Peach Garden situation.
Afterward, he took her to Lingshan. The Blood God's essence was brimming with blood energy, which needed to be cleansed to eliminate its foulness. The Eight Treasures Merit Spring Water of Lingshan was truly marvelous; anything submerged in it would yield surprising effects. Nezha himself had once secretly soaked his feet in the pool and noticeably felt his skin improve. If not for the pool's Wishing Turtle getting so angry it nearly bit him, he would have stayed and soaked longer.
Upon arriving at Lingshan, Nezha didn't bring the Rashamon Lady to meet Old Li right away but instead greeted Lady Yin. On the surface, Lady Yin appeared to be just another Bodhisattva, but those who knew her true nature understood otherwise. She was delighted to see that Nezha had brought yet another young lady with him.
From the Rashamon Lady's perspective, Lady Yin came across as extraordinarily gentle and kind. Compared to regular interactions with others, Lady Yin's warmth outshined them all, let alone the hostility of Blood Sea creatures.
Nezha then worried that the Rashamon Lady might struggle to adapt to the unfamiliar environment, so he stayed at Lingshan for a while, taking the opportunity to gather intelligence about No-Life Old Mother. It turned out that she was currently cozying up to Maitreya.
Meanwhile, the focus shifted to the Great Tang. After building the stage for so long, the grand drama was finally reaching its climax.
During the battle at Emei, the three-person Demon Extermination Department rose to prominence. Among the trio, Yang Yuhuan stood out for personally slaying the Blood Demon, gaining massive renown. Although Yuhuan's actual contributions to the battle weren't substantial, her dazzling combat effects were unmatched, and she secured the decisive kill. Coupled with the other two deliberately keeping a low profile, the Great Tang, while shocked by the battle's carnage at Emei, elevated Yang Yuhuan's fame to unprecedented heights.
Yang Yuhuan enjoyed the vanity of public admiration, yet secretly nursed deep resentment toward that Blood Demon's parting insult. She desperately wished she could prove to him that Yang Yuhuan couldn't be compared to any mere demoness. Yet the Blood Demon was already dead.
