Chapter 2819: She

What if they are demons? What could demons possibly make them do? It's impossible to change now—every time there's an idea, every time they know the reason.

Dong Huang Taiyi hadn't expected Nüwa and Fuxi to truly harden their hearts.

"Worthless!"

With so many people present, Dong Huang Taiyi couldn't scold Feilian and Jimeng—they knew this matter couldn't be blamed on these people, since they'd always suspected a connection.

Moreover, these people would only come up with explanations if someone else were here.

"Sorry, my lord…"

"It's fine. This is Nüwa and Fuxi's fault, not yours. He gave you this thing—go fetch Nüwa out again. This time, he'll come!"

At this moment, Feilian and Jimeng no longer wished to involve themselves in this matter, but since Dong Huang had spoken thus, they couldn't refuse.

"Understood!"

"We'll do our best!"

They didn't know what Dong Huang Taiyi had given them, for he hadn't revealed it in front of them—he handed them a box.

What exactly was inside? No one knew yet. They could only wait.

Once they left the Demon Court, Feilian wondered what was inside—but Jiemeng stopped him, warning him not to look, for doing so might bring great misfortune.

"I advise you not to be so curious!"

"If you truly wish to see it, wait until we reach Nüwa Palace and let the Holy Nüwa open it—then we may look. This was given by my lord to the Holy Nüwa—it belongs solely to her!"

Opening it might trigger a mechanism—or a curse.

Feilian had never heard of such things, but Jiemeng had heard many such tales—he knew all of it, which was why he handled it with caution.

Of course, they could ask if they wished, but now there was no need to say more.

"Alright."

"We'll do our best."

Whether they liked it or not, it was settled—they had to do this, and it had never been about persuading Nüwa and Fuxi to emerge, since they certainly wouldn't.
