Chapter 169: Fengxi: Please ask Houtu for aid, so that Yan defeats Huang!

Huangdi, an excellent target.

The human king whom he made an ancestor is thinking of him.

Houtu Ancestor Witch is thinking of him.

The demon race standing opposite the human race, several demon emperors also greatly miss him.

Too many, too many.

Huangdi, although he left no obvious pawns in this era, his legends still exist in the world.

Who knows how many people widened their eyes, wishing to dig three thousand zhang deep to find him out.

Perhaps Huangdi also understands this principle.

So to this day he has never revealed himself to place a piece; moreover, he is shrouded in layers of doubt, making powerful divine beings suspect each other.

Unlike the Blue Emperor, who shows his hand directly—I am Fuxi; whoever among you finds me displeasing, come chop me!

Nor like the Yandi, who secretly sent out a trumpet—Fengxi, working under the very eyes of the Houtu Ancestor Witch, doing the job of a great loyal subject.

Huangdi does not only not show his hand, he doesn't even send out a trumpet—should be said he is not openly walking in this era.

After all, once he is found out, his fate will likely be worrisome.

Houtu Ancestor Witch will surely first "protect" him, then stage a grand play using Huangdi to manipulate the human race.

To whom shall the abdication be given?

Obviously it's the mighty, wise, greatly compassionate and merciful Houtu!

Unfortunately, up to now, Huangdi has been stingy with even a trace, not letting the coveting powerful ones find him, leaving many powerful divine beings helpless, having strength but nowhere to use it.

Unfortunately, up to now, Huangdi has been so stingy that he hasn't even let the coveting great powers find a trace, leaving many those with great divine abilities sighing helplessly, possessing strength but nowhere to apply it.

The Yandi's trumpet is working hard, as if gathering cards for the future Yandi, preparing for the Yan-Huang conflict, to help the Yandi defeat the Huangdi—how many powerful ones watch with pleasure in their hearts?

They don't even have time to watch the show, how could they intervene?

Moreover, many people don't think highly of this method being able to cause trouble for Huangdi.

—The means of peak powerful beings far exceed the limits of what Fengxi can currently imagine.

At that level, common sense no longer follows; all rules will be rewritten.

Even if the holy fire is exuberant, how much trouble can it really cause to the universally acknowledged supreme human emperor—Huangdi?

Possibly not even the effect of restraining or blocking for a moment.

At that time, some heavenly will may even secretly aid one or two, in order to gauge Huangdi's true level.

By that time, some heavenly intentions might secretly lend a hand or two, in order to gauge Huangdi's true level.

For the Yandi!

In the 999's conception, this is a very good excuse.

Can stabilize the tuba, invest money, and be more readily allowed by the great cosmic heavenly will of the universe, to raise a hand favorably, not to trip.

Given a shared, unfathomable target opponent, many not excessive things will be tacitly allowed.

Especially, this appears to still occur in the very distant future.

At that time, the Lich Great Tribulation should have ended, with the final victor determined.

No matter how the Yan and Huang contend, deciding superiority, could it affect this era?

No matter how fiercely Yan and Huang contend, deciding who is superior or inferior, could it possibly affect this era?

—This is the consensus in the subconscious of many powerful beings.

——This is a consensus deep in the subconscious of many great powers.

"We might as well treat this as investing in the future." 999 advised Fengxi, "After all, as a trumpet, one must always think of the tuba, right?"

"Although the investment has some unpredictable risks... just like insurance, it may not truly be effective."

"But if it is needed and can be put to use, wouldn't we profit greatly?"

"What you say makes sense." Fengxi deeply believed, "Since it's a trumpet, one must consider the tuba."

"After all, it's a relationship where honor and loss are shared; doing some reasonable investment budget is also appropriate."

「After all, it's a relationship where honor and disgrace are shared; making some reasonable investment budgets is also appropriate. 」

Decided to "look forward," rather than just "look at money."

Isn't it just nurturing the holy fire, to burn the big head?

This money, he paid!

Just need to be careful; when doing this, don't do it in front of the Houtu Ancestor Witch... otherwise the leader might have some minor objections.

「Just be careful; when doing this, don't do it in front of Houtu, the Primeval Witch... otherwise the leadership might easily have some minor objections. 」

So disrespectful to the great creator who engraved my likeness?

Burning offerings to heaven? Sacrificing me to heaven?

Too inauspicious!

"However, I still have some worries!" Fengxi said somewhat gloomily, "Seeing how the Yandi abandoned me, so cold-hearted, so unfeeling, so unreliable..."

「But I'm still a bit worried! 」Fengxi said somewhat gloomily, 「Seeing how Yandi abandoned me, so cold-hearted, so unfeeling, so unreliable... 」

The expression on 999's face almost couldn't be maintained, and thus collapsed.

His mood was extremely complicated; he wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

"Cold-hearted, unfeeling, unreliable... don't even mention the Yandi, what about your own situation, don't you have any idea in your heart?"

【Cold-hearted, unfeeling, unreliable... let alone Yandi, what's your own situation? Don't you have any idea in your heart?】

"Indeed, the Yandi seems unreliable... but what can we do?"

"There's no room for choice!"

"There's no room for choice!"

We can only hope he doesn't screw up at the crucial moment, and can press Huangdi to the ground and hammer him!

He said expressionlessly.

Also. Fengxi sighed, "We originally had only one path to go, no turning back."

Alright.

I approve your plan... although maintaining this Holy Fire burns too much money.

Mm... no, I need to find some sponsors to help share the pressure.

Fengxi suddenly had a brainwave.

He thought of a thick, boundless golden thigh.

Whose thigh is this?

Its name is Houtu!

Yes... Houtu Ancestor Witch!

I was thinking, this adult says on the surface they want to unite all unitable forces to win the Wu Clan-Demon Race war.

But does she really not mind the existence of Huangdi in her heart?

I think that's impossible.

I'll go to her for some sponsorship, to slightly help in the future Yandi-Huangdi conflict... is that too much?

Moreover, Houtu Adult is so wealthy that while other Great Luo are still struggling to run small businesses and earn qi and merit, she has already begun creating private currency to establish her authority.

With authority, one can further reap part of the value created by sentient beings of the human Dao; all the working Great Luo will be serving Houtu, being secretly fleeced by her!

Those who sell their labor, still want to surpass those who mint coins?

Even minting coins has a high cost.

But if you just use a few tricks, exploit a time lag, the cost can be recovered, and the rest is pure profit!

With the Wu Clan's force backing, personal strength backing, and basic wealth investment backing, given Houtu's ability, big profits may be uncertain, but small profits are not difficult.

A glimpse through a tube reveals that Houtu Ancestor Witch is very rich, not just somewhat rich, but extremely, extremely rich.

Every day that passes, her wealth is rising.

Fengxi watched, his eyes burning and his heart racing.

This is also an important reason why he steadfastly maintains the loyalty line that 'Houtu the Great is the greatest,' never wavering.

It's really because this thigh... she is just too thick, too thick!

So thick it breaks the horizon, surpassing the limits anyone can imagine.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this situation that the Wu Clan can be so active, sparring with the Demon Race, which covertly has the endorsement of Patriarch Hongjun.

Just how mighty is Patriarch Hongjun!

He is the biggest boss who runs the Heavenly Dao, the leader who nominally holds supreme command over Honghuang, able to legitimately arrange all Honghuang affairs and guide future development.

But what good is just guiding?

Even a clever wife can't cook without rice!

One also needs luck and merit, to satisfy one's subordinates, so that everyone will obediently follow orders and carry out the assigned work as well as possible.

Fengxi wonders whether Houtu has ever openly and righteously pointed at Patriarch Hongjun's nose and loudly said——

"You don't have money, I do!"

Having been denounced by Patriarch Hongjun, doubting his life, he is forced to call himself a 'poor Daoist.'

Then he thoroughly antagonizes the Wu Clan, taking that vast, boundless wealth and industry and making it belong to the Heavenly Dao, belonging to the collective masses of Honghuang… Patriarch Hongjun reluctantly takes on the role of the highest responsible person.

Fengxi pondered.

This…… is all too possible!

"Houtu the Great, rich and imposing!"

Fengxi's eyes rolled around, "Normally, when supporting Kunlun's work, the Xuanhuang coins are given box by box."

"I'm now looking for her, to ask for a little sponsorship."

"To create some obstacles for the future Huangdi."

"To help nurture the future Yandi's Sacred Fire for the Games… Is that too much?"

"Not too much, right!"

"Only a little money is needed to achieve two goals at once."

"To gain Yandi's friendship and strengthen cooperative relations."

"To create difficulties for Huangdi… even if there are none, we must create them!"

"Houtu the Great, wouldn't she, after scolding me not to damage the Huang-Yan relations, dignifiedly allocate special funds for the Sacred Fire, for the sake of spreading the Games spirit across Honghuang and for the Wu Clan's grand strategy?"

"Little Nine Nine Nine, what do you think of my plan…… how is it?"

Fengxi confidently asked the Trumpet.

Nine Nine Nine wanted to speak but held back, after a while organizing his words: "This…… I think it's pretty good."

"Houtu the Great supports Yandi, pointing her sword at Huangdi……"

"Hmm."

"Just thinking about it gets the blood pumping!!"

"Can't take it anymore, can't take it anymore!"

"Just imagining that scene, I feel an urge……"

Nine Nine Nine was making grunting sounds, as if enduring something very hard.

Fengxi was a bit confused, "What urge?"

"Cough cough cough… nothing." Nine Nine Nine covered up, saying, "Your idea is very good, really good… I think, Houtu the Great's this investment, in the future she will definitely not regret it."

Our big tuba will surely repay her.

That's. Fengxi nodded, "Seeing the small to know the big... with someone like me who repays kindness with the trumpet, Yandi surely won't be lacking in this regard."

Pah!

Jiujiujiu let out a 'pah', spitting in disdain.

How many days has it been?

Feeling like the tuba's integrity has dropped again?

Is it an illusion?

He couldn't ask clearly enough to confirm his suspicion—

Because Fengxi had already swiftly cut off the communication.

Holy fire burns money like crazy; we can't afford to delay even a moment!

We need to quickly find a new backer and lay our cards on the table with Ancestral Witch Houtu.

"Yandi... Huangdi... the Yan-Huang conflict..."

Feng·Jiujiujiu·Xi muttered, feeling the gift from the Green Emperor Fuxi deep within the true spirit, blinked, and said, "That's too far away..."

"Given the danger of this era, I fear the tuba won't even last until the time of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors—who let him be so flashy, he's practically a firefly in the night sky?"

He sighed softly, worried about Fengxi's situation.

Only an outsider can see clearly how perilous his situation is.

The better he performs on Kunlun Mountain, the higher his name rises on the list of targets the Demon Race's high-ranking must eliminate!

"When the witches and demons finally meet in battle, utterly discarding all limits in a life-or-death showdown, he will surely become the primary target marked for execution by the Demon Race's high-ranking..."

"For now, Ancestral Witch Houtu still protects him."

"But when that day comes, Ancestral Witch Houtu will have no time to look after him... then he can only rely on his own strength to carve out a path for himself."

"But the tuba's abilities? I doubt it."

"I have no choice but to step forward, shoulder this burden, overturn the era, let Yandi descend, display peak combat power, save the tuba's life, and trap all demon gods who dare to strike against us..."

"After that..."

"I'm afraid I'll be letting down Lady Houtu."

"The Yan-Huang conflict may yet be staged."

"But..."

"That is also after the human race has plucked the fruits of victory and secured its independence."

"Before that?"

"With the Green Emperor mediating, Yan and Huang should cooperate, right?"

"First, take the cauldron holding this era's victory fruit and walk it all the way to the bottom..."

"Having received Lady Houtu's sponsorship, aimed at the specified funds for Huangdi, yet we cash in through a 'move the flower, graft the wood' scheme, running our own little business..."

"Sigh... just thinking about it fills me with guilt, makes it hard to breathe, and I feel sorry for her."

"But this isn't my fault."

Jiujiujiu defended himself.

"Without the Green Emperor Fuxi leading the way, how could I have the chance to embark on this path?"

"So, after thinking it over seriously, this must be... the fault of the Demon Ancestor!"

"That's right..."

"It is precisely because this legendary Demon Ancestor, who does all evil, has his inner demons tempting me in the dark, that I have truly fallen..."

"Even though my essence is a white lotus unstained by the mire, I cannot resist others dyeing me with ink... what can I do?"

"......"

After undergoing a deep and profound self-examination, Jiujiujiu determined the essence of the problem.

Rectify the root and clear the source; I am inherently noble.

On the other side.

Fengxi, just as he said, went to seek the patronage of Ancestral Witch Houtu... pah, it's sponsorship.

This golden thigh, he is absolutely going to cling to it tightly.

Upholding the principle of "relieving Houtu's worries," he established a "direct line to defend against Huangdi's ascension"; Fengxi's loyal red heart relieved Houtu.

What is a loyal subject?

This is it!

Knowing to actively devise plans for the leader and handle difficult problems!

Knowing that Houtu feels troubled by the Huangdi issue, he proactively put forward long-term suggestions to oppose and even restrain it.

Although Houtu doesn't feel it could be of much use...

but the intention, she received it.

Isn't it just giving Yandi a special holy fire endowment fund?

Compared to Ancestral Witch Houtu's wealth, what is this?

How much is the annual salary she sends out to the great witches?

Does she care about one more supporter of Yandi?

Trifling, trifling.

Of course, considering the critical period, the unity of the Human King Ancestral Witch's stance, this ancestral witch gently rebuked Fengxi a few times—

Have the big picture!

Don't create internal contradictions!

Let's change the original intention of the Holy Fire Plan!

I think… using the reason of strengthening the Wu Clan's image promotion is pretty good!

Little guy, you understand?

"Understood, understood!"

Fengxi nodded repeatedly, indicating he deeply understood Houtu's meaning.

Then, he readily revised the funding application documents on the spot, changing a few sentences.

Houtu smiled satisfactorily and casually threw out a box.

"Take it… but don't embezzle it, okay?"
