Even hybrid monsters have their day

If she remembered correctly, Nuwa was a goddess, while Cerberus was an ancient ferocious beast, born between heaven and earth. Could it really be compared to a goddess? Thinking about it, she couldn't believe it. So the only explanation was that he had forcibly given himself this title, perhaps without his master's permission.

Geng Miaowan expressed her bewilderment at Huangfu Aoran's way of addressing Nuwa, but also a sense of relief. She used to feel slighted by his constant use of "little girl," but hearing him address Nuwa as "little girl" instantly healed her wounded heart.

She figured he probably only called someone he approved of calling her "little girl." She remembered that during her time in the underworld, he had once seen Diao Lanrong and called her "that woman." Thinking of this, she felt a strange sense of fulfillment.

Just as she was beginning to feel a sense of fulfillment, a sharp pain shot through her head. Looking up, she saw Huangfu Aoran removing his hand from her head, saying with displeasure, "You silly girl, I'm talking to you, what are you daydreaming about?"

"Ah, what did you just say?" Knowing she was in the wrong, she didn't refute him.

"I said, the divine power left in that discarded Nuwa Stone was accidentally discovered and caused a stir in the human realm, but then it seems to have disappeared without a trace." Huangfu Aoran patiently repeated what he had just said. As he spoke, he searched his mind for information about the Nuwa Stone, which seemed to be quite difficult. So living too long is not necessarily a good thing. So many memories are stored in the brain, it's terrifying to think about.

“I know that,” Xu Ruwen suddenly interjected, “It seems to have appeared during the Three Realms War.”

"Another three-realm war?" Geng Miaowan felt that this phrase had appeared far too frequently lately, making her uneasy. She had a feeling that it was connected to something extremely important, and that it was slowly being brought to the surface.

Xu Ruwen nodded. "Didn't you ask me last time why the Nine-Tailed Fox royal family was wiped out?"

"Could it be related to this?"

"Yes, as far as I know, the extinction of the Nine-Tailed Fox royal family is directly related to it."

"What's your relationship?" Geng Miaowan asked curiously. Even Huangfu Aoran stopped searching his memory and looked at him seriously.

"Legend has it that the Nine-Tailed Fox royal family has always guarded the Nuwa Stone, a supreme treasure of the human realm. This was a secret a thousand years ago. Although everyone knew that the Nine-Tailed Fox royal family was guarding a supreme treasure, no one knew what it was. At that time, the Nine-Tailed Fox royal family was extremely powerful. No one was willing to risk being hunted down by them to snatch a treasure whose identity they did not know, so everyone lived in relative peace."

It was Xu Ruwen's story time again. He cleared his throat and continued, "Until a thousand years ago, before the chaos of the Three Realms, your father, the Demon Emperor Gongye Hong, heard from somewhere that the Nine-Tailed Fox royal family's most precious treasure was the Nuwa Stone. He thought it was a powerful tool for increasing cultivation and seizing territory, so he tried every means to gain the Nine-Tailed Fox royal family's trust and obtained the Nuwa Stone." Xu Ruwen paused here, "Then he devised a plan to deceive the Demon Emperor, ultimately triggering the chaos of the Three Realms."

"Uh..." Geng Miaowan felt that Xu Ruwen's way of speaking was becoming more and more down-to-earth. "So, in the end, my father took the Nuwa Stone?"

Xu Ruwen shook his head. "No, it disappeared after the war between the three realms."

"Disappeared?" Then, thinking of the Nuwa Stone in Miao Renfeng's hand, she smiled calmly, "Fortunately, it has reappeared. Now that we know its whereabouts, things should be much easier, at least saving us the time and money wasted on inquiries."

Xu Ruwen felt that he and the woman in front of him were clearly not on the same wavelength. He rolled his eyes speechlessly and reminded her, "As I just said, it is said that there is also a Nuwa Stone on the demon in Buzhou Mountain."

The matter has come full circle. Judging from Miao Renfeng's appearance, that Nuwa Stone must be very old, but the story of the demon on Mount Buzhou possessing a Nuwa Stone is only a recent one, dating back decades. If Miao Renfeng's stone is truly a Nuwa Stone, then what is on the demon on Mount Buzhou? Conversely, what is the stone in Miao Renfeng's hand?

“In other words…” Geng Miaowan said hesitantly, “There is only one Nuwa Stone, and one of the two must be fake.”

Xu Ruwen nodded in satisfaction, while Huangfu Aoran's expression shifted from initial excitement to sullenness. Not only could they not retrieve the Nuwa Stone to restore their cultivation, but it might even be a fake, extinguishing any hope they had.

Seeing his obvious displeasure, Geng Miaowan comforted him, "Don't think too much about it. Maybe that demon on Buzhou Mountain doesn't actually have any Nuwa Stones; he's just creating a stir."

She said things that even she herself didn't quite believe. As the saying goes, there's no smoke without fire. But regardless of whether it's true or not, it would be best if someone went to investigate.

As Geng Miaowan was pondering how to verify the authenticity of the Nuwa Stone, or rather, how to do it without conflicting with the mission, Luan Hao in her sea of ​​consciousness suddenly became agitated. He paced back and forth, his heavy footsteps imprinted on her sea of ​​consciousness.

In an instant, he rose into the air, clenched his fingers, and channeled his spiritual energy into his hand. Geng Miaowan immediately felt a tearing pain within her body, as if something was forcibly trying to burst out of her.

"What's wrong?" Xu Ruwen was the first to notice her unusual behavior, and he couldn't help but ask, "Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

"Luan Hao, what are you doing?" As she spoke, she entered her sea of ​​consciousness. A moment later, Xu Ruwen and Huangfu Aoran followed her in.

After watching for a while, the two suddenly realized what he was doing, and their faces turned pale instantly. They quickly used their spiritual power to stop him. It took them a great deal of effort to finally subdue him, but he kept wriggling and trying to break free from their grasp.

Huangfu Aoran stepped forward and slapped him across the face. "Are you fucking alright? You just went crazy like that? If you force your way out like this, either you or the girl will die. I reckon the girl is more likely to die, since she doesn't have much cultivation yet."

He didn't want to take any risks when it came to his own interests.

Luan Hao suddenly turned his gaze to Huangfu Aoran, his pale purple eyes flashing with information that others couldn't quite decipher. He grabbed Huangfu Aoran's arm, "Could you go check on Buzhou Mountain for me?" (To be continued.)
