Chapter 353

Zhen Yuanzi also nodded to himself, feeling fortunate in his heart.

Fortunately, he had joined the Human Sect early on.

Under the blessing of such a grand orthodoxy and majestic Qi, his future cultivation would surely be a smooth path.

It was even possible that he might one day attain the Vast Hunyuan Dao.

Returning to Mount Shouyang and looking at Lin Xia, Nüwa's exquisite face was filled with a look of gratification.

"Little brother, although Laozi and Seeing Yuanshi are indeed detestable."

"But you were too aggressive today; you must know how to keep your edge hidden."

Nüwa looked at Lin Xia and said slowly.

Clearly, as a Saint, she had also perceived Hongjun's intentions.

Therefore, she felt some concern for Lin Xia.

Hearing Nüwa's words, Lin Xia smiled lightly, showing no signs of doubt.

"Sister, don't worry."

"I have known about all of this for a long time."

Lin Xia reached out his hands, wrapped them around Nüwa's slender waist, held his sister in his arms, and comforted her.

He knew clearly in his heart that regardless of whether he had beaten Laozi and Seeing Yuanshi today or not.

Since he had already attained the Vast Hunyuan Dao, he had already violated the original Heavenly Mandate, and provoking Hongjun's wariness was inevitable.

After all, Hongjun, as the Dao Ancestor, was one with the Heavenly Dao and served as its spokesperson.

He would never sit idly by regarding any variables in the world.

However, Lin Xia also understood that Hongjun still harbored wariness toward the Human Dao and the Earth Dao.

He likely would not make a move against him in the short term, so the most important thing now was to improve his strength.

Only in this way could he have the confidence to deal with Hongjun's future developments.

Nüwa leaned into Lin Xia's embrace, looking at his youthful face and bright eyes.

A gentle smile appeared on her face.

She felt quite emotional in her heart.

That cute, jade-like little baby had finally grown up.

Now, he could even shield her from the wind and rain.

"Since you have a plan in mind, sister is relieved."

Nüwa said softly.

Afterward, Lin Xia took out the treasures he had looted from Mount Xumi and began to inventory them carefully.

Nüwa sat beside Lin Xia, reached out her jade hands, and touched Lin Xia's cheeks, eyes, and nose.

She stared at Lin Xia intensely.

"What are you looking at?"

Lin Xia felt a bit unnerved by his sister's gaze.

"Handsome!"

Starlight seemed to flicker in Nüwa's eyes.

"Does that even need to be said?"

Lin Xia hummed lightly, lifting his head with a touch of pride.

"Pity I didn't see it."

Nüwa laughed coquettishly.

Lin Xia slapped his sister's shapely buttocks.

Nüwa's face instantly flushed red, revealing an expression of shy anger.

"You've grown up, haven't you? You actually dare to lay hands on your sister!"

She pinned Lin Xia directly to the ground and said indignantly:

"Tell me, what did you and Daoist Houtu do last time you went to the Underworld?"

Lin Xia was startled.

So the little vixen remembered everything; she was preparing to settle the score.

"We didn't do anything; she even praised you for being beautiful."

Lin Xia said with a straight face.

"I don't believe it. Would that fierce woman be so kind-hearted?"

Nüwa said huffily.

"There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me."

Lin Xia said helplessly.

"However, Sister Daoist Houtu once told me to keep my distance from you."

"After all, we are siblings, and there is a distinction between men and women; we shouldn't be so playful and intimate."

A hint of cold light appeared in Nüwa's eyes, and she said indignantly:

"Hmph! That fierce woman clearly just can't stand how well sister treats you."

Then Nüwa raised her head, looked at Lin Xia, her gaze stern:

"Tell me, is she jealous?"

Lin Xia sensed the sourness permeating the air, nodded wisely, and said:

"I suppose so."

"But ever since I took human form, sister has raised me through all sorts of hardships."

"What's wrong with being a little intimate?"

A smile immediately appeared on Nüwa's face, and she kissed Lin Xia on the cheek.

"Exactly, what kind of good brother wouldn't be intimate with his sister?"
