Not bowing or kneeling in front of the Saint could be said to be disrespectful to the Saint, but the Nüwa did not say anything. It was as if she had tacitly approved of Ye Xuan's attitude.
"Today, Ye Xuan has won. Empyrean Fairy, you can marry him. After you become the Queen Mother, you must mother the Three Realms. You must not be unruly and willful."
The Nüwa's holy voice rumbled. It also made the Empyrean Fairy kowtow to her. However, her beautiful face flushed red.
"Empyrean Fairy, you may leave. I have something to say to Ye Xuan."
"Yes, Master."
The Empyrean Fairy stood up and left. Before she left, she gave Ye Xuan a subtle look. It was as if she was telling Ye Xuan not to be rude in front of the Saint.
Rumble!
When the Empyrean Fairy left the Nüwa Palace, the open door closed with a rumble. Only Ye Xuan and the Nüwa were left in the Nüwa Palace. An extremely oppressive atmosphere quietly appeared. It also made the entire Nüwa Palace extremely quiet.
After a full ten breaths of time, neither of them spoke first. However, the oppressive atmosphere became even heavier. However, Ye Xuan didn't feel the slightest bit of fear as he looked directly at the Saint Nuwa in the air.
"Ye Xuan, you are so rude to look directly at me."
Suddenly, the chaotic light around the Nüwa Palace dissipated. An indescribable face appeared. When this face was reflected in Ye Xuan's eyes, it made Ye Xuan's soul tremble. In that instant, he fell into a trance.
Ye Xuan asked himself. The most beautiful woman he had ever met was the Moon Fairy. The Moon Fairy's beauty could be said to be the best in the Three Realms. Even the Empyrean Fairy paled in comparison.
However, when Ye Xuan saw Nüwa's face, it made his soul tremble. A trace of intoxication appeared in his eyes. If not for the Eternal Primordial Spirit shaking in his sea of consciousness, Ye Xuan was afraid that he would have woken up from Nüwa's face.
Nüwa was not devastatingly beautiful. Her beauty could not be described with words. Ye Xuan could not describe what it was like, but Ye Xuan was certain that no matter who saw Nüwa's face, they would fall head over heels for her.
Unfortunately, Ye Xuan walked the path of becoming a Saint through strength. He cultivated the Way of Emotionlessness. Furthermore, he had seen the Moon Fairy's beauty before. Nüwa's soul-stirring appearance only made him fall into a trance for a moment. However, he recovered in an instant.
"You're very beautiful!" Ye Xuan sighed in admiration.
"How dare you!"
Nüwa frowned when she heard Ye Xuan's words. Her voice was cold and holy light circulated around her as if she wanted to teach Ye Xuan a lesson. Clearly, as a Saint, no one had dared to speak to her like that. Ye Xuan's words were simply disrespectful to her.
However, when Nüwa thought of the mysterious figure, her eyes trembled slightly. In the end, she did not attack Ye Xuan. The holy light around her slowly dissipated and she returned to her usual calm state.
"Tell me, who … who is he?"
Nüwa said calmly. However, her voice trembled slightly, proving that her heart was not calm.
"You saw him?"
Ye Xuan was slightly stunned. His eyes deepened because he was completely sure from Nüwa's words that he was not dreaming. What had happened was real.
"Tell me, who is he? Is he your master?"
Nüwa stood up in the air and strolled towards Ye Xuan. Her beautiful eyes were like the stars in the sky. She hoped Ye Xuan could give her a reasonable answer.
Up close, her fragrance assailed his nostrils. Nüwa gave off a certain fragrance. It was a faint bodily fragrance, which also enchanted Ye Xuan slightly, but he still woke up very quickly.
Sure enough, it wasn't you who saved me. If it weren't for his appearance, I probably would have died to the Myriad Poison Ancestor's hands!
Thinking back to everything that had happened in the dream, Ye Xuan finally understood that the person who had saved him was not Nüwa, but the mysterious figure. This also made his gaze towards Nüwa become rather cold.
Ye Xuan was not stupid. The opening of the gathering in Nüwa's palace and the appearance of the Quasi-Saint could be described as Nüwa finding a husband for the Empyrean Fairy, but it was better described as a test for him.
This was because Ye Xuan knew that there was still one final Saint's position in the world. The opening of the gathering was Nüwa testing whether he was the seventh Saint of Heaven's Will or not.
If Ye Xuan won, it would also prove that Ye Xuan was the seventh Saint of Heaven's Will. However, if Ye Xuan died to the hands of the Quasi-Saint, it would also prove that Ye Xuan was not the Saint of Heaven's Will. If he died, then so be it. Nüwa would show no mercy at all.
This was because he could tell from how the Myriad Poison Ancestor had attacked him in the end that Nüwa had never wanted to save him. If it were not for the appearance of the mysterious figure, he really would have died and vanished beyond the thirty-third heaven. How would he have the opportunity to talk to Nüwa right now?
This was karma, as well as an evil consequence that was neither major nor minor. It was just like what the mysterious figure had said to Nüwa when he appeared.
"The karma of today has already been born. He will definitely settle it with you in the future."
What was sowed today would be repaid in the future. Right now, Ye Xuan was only a Grand Immortal, while Nüwa was a great Saint. Right now, she still could not tell how terrifying the power of karma between the two of them was.
However, once Ye Xuan became a Saint, the karma of the past would definitely be settled. This was also the karma between Saints. It could be described as extremely terrifying, and it would manifest itself in the future.
Although Nüwa understood this as well, it had already happened. Even if she wanted to salvage the situation, it was already too late. Moreover, whether Ye Xuan was the seventh Saint of Heaven's Will or not had not been decided yet, so she temporarily set this matter aside.
Right now, Nüwa's only thought was to know who the mysterious figure was.
This was because from the moment that person appeared to the moment he left, Nüwa was unable to find out his origins no matter how she divined. Moreover, the mysterious figure was actually able to manipulate something as legendary as the river of time, so how could Nüwa not be utterly terrified?
As everyone knew, Pangu split open the heavens and Hongjun passed down the path. Ever since the primordial times, Hongjun had merged with the path and completed the incomplete heavenly path. There were only seven Saints in the world.
The Three Purities, the Two Saints of the West, and Nüwa occupied six Saints. Only the last one remained empty.
However, the appearance of the mysterious figure had broken this iron law, as Nüwa could completely sense that the mysterious figure was definitely a Saint as well, or it was extremely likely for him to have surpassed Saints.
What were existences that had surpassed Saints? Nüwa had no way of knowing.
Could he be comparable to Ancestor Hongjun? Nüwa also had no way of knowing.
She did not know why such a figure would appear in the world. Moreover, the manifestation of the river of time had allowed her to see the existence of such a legendary thing.
She wanted to go to the Purple Cloud Palace and ask Ancestor Hongjun, who had disappeared since ancient times. Perhaps only he knew the origin of the mysterious figure. However, there was no trace of the Purple Cloud Palace, and Ancestor Hongjun had already merged with the heavenly path. Unless Ancestor Hongjun himself appeared, the Six Great Saints would not be able to see Ancestor Hongjun.
At this moment, perhaps the only person who could answer her question was Ye Xuan in front of her, because the mysterious figure had appeared for Ye Xuan. If he had not appeared, Ye Xuan would have died long ago.
