Chapter Seventy Xihe and Changxi

  Nüwa returned from the Purple Mist Palace, and she was very worried. The Wu tribe was now clearly stronger than the Yao tribe, and when the two tribes clashed, the Yao tribe would definitely suffer heavy casualties. This was something Nüwa did not want to see, and her own brother Fuxi was also in the Yao tribe, so she couldn't let him get hurt. She made up her mind to add some strength to the Yao tribe.

  Nüwa thought for a long time, but she thought of two people. These two were born on the Taiyin Star and had the body of a jade rabbit, also belonging to the demon tribe. They were Xihe and Changxi, who were also guests in the Zixuan Palace. Their strength was not bad either, with early-stage saint-level cultivation. If they could persuade these two to join the demon tribe, it would increase their strength significantly. However, these two often cultivated on the Taiyin Star and rarely came out, fearing that they were also calm and gentle in nature, making it difficult for them to be persuaded to join.

  Nüwa furrowed her brow, pondering for a long time, but had no countermeasure. "Forget it, let Emperor Jun and the others handle this matter, I'm not suitable for plotting after all." After saying that, she headed straight to the Heavenly Court.

  But in the Hou Tu tribe, there was a great shaman named Hou Yi, whose physical strength and archery skills were unparalleled. He often took his tribesmen hunting and always returned with a full load. On this day, while inspecting his tribe, Hou Yi suddenly came across two beautiful girls, and for some reason, he felt an unusual emotion towards one of them, although they were strangers, yet very familiar.

  "Sister, there's a big fool over there staring at us." The girl who had been stared at by Hou Yi for a while felt a bit embarrassed and pulled on the hem of the girl beside her.

  "It's just a big Luo Jinxian's later stage of magic, no need to be so serious." The older girl said lightly.

  The girl hummed in response and followed her sister to continue observing the witch tribe and human tribe in this village, ignoring Hou Yi.

  Watching the two of them walk away, Hou Yi felt a sense of loss in his heart for some reason, and involuntarily followed them.

  The two girls also discovered Hou Yi following them and couldn't help but frown, had he seen through their identities? Impossible, the two of them rarely went out and their cultivation was much higher than his, it was impossible for him to see through their identities.

  "Sister, let's hurry up and leave, the Wu tribe's ancestor is not to be trifled with, don't play around here anymore."

  Before the two could continue their discussion, Hou Yi had already mustered up his courage and walked over.

  "I am Hou Yi, may I ask for your names, ladies?"

  After seeing Hou Yi ask questions, the two of them couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that this great witch hadn't discovered their identities. Mainly because Zu Xian's reputation was too great, they couldn't help but feel tense.

  "My name is Chang'e." The young girl said with a smile to her sister beside her, but it was a lie. These two were Xihe and Changxi from the Taiyin star, transformed into moon rabbits, and were living in the Wu tribe village, afraid of causing trouble, so they made up a fake name.

  "Chang'e, what a beautiful name." Hou Yi was slightly dazed, his eyes only on Chang'e, completely ignoring Xihe beside him. Perhaps this was what Emperor Jiang Zu Wu often said - love at first sight.

  Seeing Hou Yi's expression, Chang Xi's face flashed a hint of shyness, but on the other hand, Xi He's expression turned cold. How could the great witch doctor of the Wu tribe be so flustered? She couldn't help feeling annoyed in her heart.

  "Which household do the two of you live in?" Hou Yi came back to his senses and continued to ask, but he had already made up his mind that he would go to their door to propose, determined to marry Chang'e as his wife. Although he was the first Da Yu to marry a woman from the human tribe, he thought that even the ancestors would not blame him, for Emperor Jiang had said that the two tribes could intermarry.

  He didn't know that these two were not human women, but rather demon women.

  "We two sisters' parents went up the mountain to hunt, and never came back, leaving only my sister and me to rely on each other for survival." Chang Xi continued, her eyes becoming slightly red, even the nearby Xihe looked at her in surprise, could it be that they were really human girls? In fact, beautiful women telling lies is just a casual gesture, regardless of whether they are human or demon.

  "Don't be sad, girl." Hou Yi's heart suddenly filled with boundless love and affection. "I am the Great Shaman of the Wu tribe, with immense power, and I will definitely replace your parents to take good care of you in the future."

  Chang Xi stared at Hou Yi with a dumbfounded expression, what did he mean by this, was it that he had gone too far in his own play?

  Xihe on the side couldn't help but laugh. A great witch actually dared to say that she was very powerful in front of two quasi-saints, how could one not laugh?

  At this time, Hou Yi's eyes were all focused on Chang Xi, seeing her staring blankly, thinking that she was frightened by his identity as a great shaman. He hurriedly continued to say: "Don't be surprised, Emperor Jiang Zu Wu once said that the two tribes of shamans can intermarry. If you don't mind, Hou Yi is willing to take care of you for a lifetime. Even if it's decades later, when you're old, Hou Yi will still be by your side. I can swear to Pan Gu, the father god, to never leave or abandon you."

  When she first heard Hou Yi's words, Chang Xi felt a little embarrassed, but there was still some mockery in her eyes, thinking that Hou Yi was overestimating himself. However, after hearing the rest and seeing Hou Yi's serious expression, Chang Xi's heart was deeply moved. The people of the Wu tribe revered Pangu and made vows to him; it must have taken great determination for a powerful shaman with an almost infinite lifespan to be willing to marry a woman from a mortal tribe who only had a hundred years to live. Chang Xi, who still had a bit of a girlish heart, was indeed touched.

  Unfortunately, the excitement was just that, and the two couldn't be together. Xiang Xi was well aware of this and ignored Hou Yi's expectant face as he pulled Xiang Zhi away into the distance.

  Watching Chang'e's departing figure, Hou Yi felt as if he had been struck heavily. He didn't know what kind of emotions were welling up in his heart. He knew that Chang'e was rejecting him. Although he couldn't understand it very well, he wouldn't ask more questions because he was the Great Archery Master. If he chased after her to inquire, he would inevitably be suspected of being overbearing. This might make Chang'e feel disgusted with him. Moreover, the dignity of the Great Archery Master did not allow him to be rejected and then still chase after her with a flattering face.

  Hou Yi took the bow and arrow from his back, gently stroking them. He had thought that in this life, he would only be interested in archery, but unexpectedly, it only took one day to shatter the conclusion of many years. Hou Yi closed his eyes, and in his mind, Chang'e's figure appeared once again.

  "Da Wu is actually so unworthy, and yet he still wants to marry you, how absurd." Tai Yin Xing said disdainfully.

  "Sister, don't say any more, he doesn't know our true identities, he just thinks we're human girls." Chang Xi defended.

  "This can only be blamed on him for lacking insight." Xihe continued to say, as she had always been disdainful of people with weak abilities.

  Chang Xi listened and then pouted, no longer speaking.

  At this time, a powerful aura suddenly came, and the two were greatly shocked. Who had arrived at Taiyin Star? Such momentum was definitely higher than their own cultivation. They didn't dare to hesitate and rushed out to check.

  Only two young men in purple robes and golden crowns stood not far away, their bodies surrounded by an imperial aura, quite extraordinary.

  "Emperor Jun Taiyi!" The two women exclaimed.
