Hou Yi and Xing Tian

Chapter 64 Hou Yi and Xing Tian

After the Holy Mother Changxi left, Nu'e straightened up and slowly looked at the golden elixir in her hand.

As the goddess had said, the golden elixir was indeed neither a pill nor a ball, but rather a sphere.

It possesses both the luminosity and mystical power of the elixir, and the unique effects of the elixir.

Just as she was about to swallow it, she couldn't help but think of her husband, Hou Yi.

then.

He put the golden elixir away and planned to give Hou Yi a surprise.

That night.

As in previous years, Nu'e stood in front of the courtyard gate and saw Hou Yi's figure in the distance.

Hou Yi was seen carrying a dead moose and striding towards Nu'e.

"E'e! I'm back!"

As he spoke, Hou Yi's face was filled with a warm smile.

When they arrived at Nu'e's side, Nu'e tidied his messy hair and checked for any injuries.

Hou Yi seemed to have long been used to this, letting her do as she pleased.

After everything was tidied up, she asked reproachfully, "Why are you so late today!"

Hearing this, Hou Yi couldn't help but smile, and then said to Nu'e with a smile, "Tonight, I've found a gift for you! Guess what it is!"

Hou Yi put on an air of mystery.

Upon hearing this, Nü'e couldn't help but laugh.

Perfect timing! She already had a surprise for Hou Yi to see, and since Hou Yi asked her to guess the gift first, why not guess his first?

Thinking of this, she was no longer in a hurry to tell him about the surprise.

So he pretended to guess and thought about it for a while.

"Could it be that Yi brought me a beautiful flower?" Nu'e wondered.

"Haha~! No, guess again!"

Hou Yi couldn't help but laugh loudly.

"Hmm... Could it be a beautiful animal hide?"

Hou Yi shook his head and smiled without saying a word.

"A delicious food?"

Hou Yi was taken aback, then thought for a moment, and finally shook his head.

Upon seeing this, Nü'e said with distress, "Oh dear, I won't guess anymore, husband, please tell me what the gift is!"

"Haha~! I knew you wouldn't guess!"

Hou Yi looked at the anxious Nu'e and laughed heartily.

However, seeing that Nü'e had become sullen, he quickly surrendered, saying, "Alright, I'll call out your gift!"

Upon hearing this, Nu'e's face showed a hint of doubt.

Should we bring out the gift?

Could it be a small animal?

Nu'e thought with anticipation in her eyes.

Sure enough, at Hou Yi's whistle, Nu'e saw a snow-white rabbit with eyes like rubies hopping towards the two of them.

When Nu'e saw this, her heart melted instantly.

"Wow~ What an adorable little white rabbit!"

Then, she exclaimed in surprise and hugged it to her chest, gently stroking it.

"How is it? Do you like this gift?" Hou Yi asked jokingly, seeing the delighted Nü'e.

"Hmm, Nu'e likes it very much. By the way, why did my husband think of giving me an adorable white rabbit?"

Nu'e asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Hou Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He then explained.

"I left the tribe more than a year ago, didn't I?"

In addition, I often go out hunting, leaving you alone at home. This little white rabbit is quite unusual; it's not afraid of me or other monsters, so I thought I'd bring it back to keep you company.

Hearing this, Nu'e stroked the little white rabbit in her arms, her face beaming with happiness, and whispered to Hou Yi, "Yes, Nu'e likes this gift very, very much!"

"Let's go home, we'll have moose meat tonight!"

Hou Yi picked up the moose from the ground and smiled gently at Nu'e.

Just as the two of them were about to go inside to cook, they were unexpectedly interrupted.

"Yi~!"

"Yi! Are you home?"

Suddenly, a voice called out from outside the courtyard gate.

Helpless, Hou Yi had no choice but to put the moose down and then come out with Nü'e.

After leaving the house and entering the courtyard, they saw a strong man from the Wu tribe looking into the house from outside the door.

"Luo! What brings you here? What happened at the tribe?"

Upon seeing that the visitor was a young man from his own Yi tribe, Hou Yi was greatly surprised and asked.

"The Ancestral Witch Houtu has arrived and specifically requests your presence."

The witch man named Luo hurriedly spoke.

"What? Lady Houtu has arrived so quickly!!" Hou Yi asked, both surprised and delighted.

"Hurry up, Yi, don't keep Lady Houtu waiting."

Luo urged from the side.

Upon hearing this, Hou Yi couldn't help but glance at Nu'e.

Seeing this, Nu'e didn't say anything more, but gently said in a soft voice, "Go, don't keep Houtu Ancestral Witch waiting!"

"Hmm~"

After saying this, Hou Yi turned around and transformed into a giant, and together with Wu Zu Luo, they strode towards the Dayi tribe.

The Da Yi tribe.

When Hou Yi and Luo Da strode back to this side, Huang Tian Lao Zu had already arrived outside the Dayi tribe.

Having been distracted by Hou Yi, he naturally heard what the little witch Luo of the Wu tribe said.

So he arrived at the Dayi tribe ahead of schedule.

Although the Wu tribe does not cultivate the primordial spirit, Houtu, the ancestral witch, is after all a Hunyuan-level ancestral witch, and inevitably has some other ways of sensing. Therefore, Huang Tian did not use his divine sense to investigate the situation inside the Dayi tribe.

That is, standing on the high ground outside the Dayi tribe, he calmly watched from a thousand miles away with the eyesight of a supreme god.

He was still very curious as to why His Majesty the God Emperor said that Houtu would be the key to his enlightenment.

Under his gaze.

At this moment, Houtu Zuwu looked no different from an ordinary witch woman.

But from his other perspective.

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, was surrounded by overwhelming malevolent energy, hundreds of times greater than that of Hou Yi, and she was constantly absorbing the malevolent energy of heaven and earth.

Within this malevolent aura, he could also vaguely sense a powerful earth-elemental law.

Fearing to disturb Houtu, he only glanced at it briefly, but he could still tell that this kind of law was no worse than that of the gods who practiced the earth-based law, and was even stronger.

Even Gaia, who had cultivated the Earth Law to its highest level and was the wife of Chaos, the Chaos God King, could not match her.

"As expected, none of the ancestral witches of the witch clan are simple!"

"Even the youngest Ancestral Witch, Houtu, possesses cultivation equivalent to the late stage of Quasi-Saint. Therefore, the other Ancestral Witches must be no less formidable!"

Huang Tian Lao Zu thought to himself.

The sacrificial site of the Dayi tribe.

After Hou Yi returned to his tribe, he met Hou Tu, the ancestral witch, and two unnamed witch warriors under the statue of Hou Tu in the sacrificial site.

"Lord Houtu!" Hou Yi called out respectfully.

As he was admiring the appearance of his own statue, he heard Hou Yi's words and then smiled faintly.

"How are you? Is your wife alright?"

"Lord Houtu, Nü'e is doing well!" Houyi smiled sheepishly when asked about Nü'e.

Houtu, the ancestral witch, nodded and, after learning about the basic situation of the Dayi tribe, immediately spoke.

"Hou Yi, you are the 108th Great Shaman under my command, Hou Tu. But there aren't many Great Shamans with potential, only a handful, and you, Hou Yi, are one of them!"

Upon hearing this, Hou Yi laughed sheepishly, "Haha, I only achieved such success thanks to the guidance of Lady Houtu. It's nothing like what you're saying."

Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, suddenly looked Houyi over and said curiously, "I never expected that marrying a human woman would make a great witch of the witch clan so humble."

Hou Yi was taken aback upon hearing this, then gave a simple, honest smile.

Houtu didn't dwell on the matter, but instead explained it to Houyi.

"These two behind me are also newly promoted Grand Shamans under my Houtu sect. Like you, they are both Grand Shamans with great potential. You should get to know them better!"

Upon hearing Houtu's words, Houyi couldn't help but exchange a glance with the two newly appointed high priests behind her.

Then one of the men, who was even taller and bigger than him, stepped forward and glared at him with his big eyes, speaking with great imposing manner.

"I am Xing Tian, ​​and I became a great sorcerer ten years ago!"

Then, another person introduced himself: "I am Wu Xian, and I became a great shaman six years ago!"

Upon hearing this, Hou Yi introduced himself, saying, "My name is Hou Yi, and I became a great shaman two years ago!"

After they finished speaking, a strong fighting spirit shone in the eyes of the three of them, especially Xing Tian, ​​whose intense fighting spirit was so strong that even Huang Tian Lao Zu, who was thousands of miles away, could feel it.

At this moment, Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, shook her head and said with amusement, "Alright, you'll have plenty of time to compete later, so now you'd better restrain yourselves!"

Upon hearing this, Hou Yi and his companions gradually suppressed their fighting spirit, but the fighting spirit in their eyes could not be diminished.

Seeing this, Houtu, the ancestral witch, said helplessly.

"The three of you are the most promising great shamans born in my Houtu tribe in the past ten thousand years. This is not referring to your combat strength, but to your individual abilities!"

Hou Yi and the other two exchanged puzzled glances upon hearing this, and then Hou Yi asked curiously.

"Lady Houtu, ten thousand years ago, who was the most promising great shaman in the Houtu tribe?"

"I knew you'd ask that." Houtu smiled slightly.

Then he introduced it to them.

"To say who was the most powerful shaman in my Houtu tribe ten thousand years ago, I really don't know, since they were divided into various tribes in the Yellow River basin after they were born."

She glanced at them before continuing.

"But in terms of the greatest potential, there are still two: Hou Dan and Kua Fu, who has already sacrificed himself!"

Upon hearing that one of them was Kuafu, Hou Yi and the others fell silent.

They all knew the name Kuafu.

Especially Hou Yi.

You should know that Kuafu and his father Da Yi were good brothers. Moreover, the Kuafu tribe and the Da Yi tribe were neighbors, and he often accompanied his father Da Yi to the Kuafu tribe to play.

Over time, he also became familiar with Kuafu.

However, the great shaman Kuafu and his Kuafu tribe actually fell into the clutches of the Golden Crow clan.

Besides the great shaman Kuafu, they also knew about another great shaman, Houdan.

Hou Dan was one of the oldest great shamans of the Hou Tu tribe. It is said that he was one of the first great shamans born in the shaman clan and became famous for establishing the lineage of shamanic medicine in the shaman clan.

While Hou Yi was still reminiscing about the great shaman Kuafu and his father.

The great shaman Xing Tian then asked, "Lord Houtu, who among our shaman clan has the greatest potential?"

Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Witch Houtu couldn't help but laugh and say, "If we're talking about who among our Witch Clan has the most potential, my unanimous consensus is that it should be Jiufeng, Xiangliu, and Wuwen!"

"Jiufeng and the other two, along with Houdan, were among the first batch of Great Witches. They were all outstanding in their respective abilities and had made great contributions to the Witch Clan!"

really!

Hou Yi and the other two thought to themselves.

After all, these people have been famous for a long time, and they already had their own guesses.

Upon seeing this, the ancestral witch Houtu encouraged her.

"The three of you belong to the third batch of Great Witches of my Witch Clan, and your potential is no less than that of Jiu Feng and the others, so keep up the good work!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Lady Houtu, you think too highly of us!"

"No! You may not be as strong as them in combat, but there's one thing you're better at: education!"

At this point, Houtu praised, "You and your wife Wumao not only had over a hundred children, but you also raised them all to be geniuses, especially that child named Chiyou, who was a born genius of strategy!"

Upon hearing this, Xing Tian and Hou Yi couldn't help but give Wu Xian a strange look.

At this moment, Houtu, the ancestral witch, looked at Xingtian and also praised him.

"And Xing Tian, ​​your unwavering fighting spirit is something even I, as an Ancestral Witch, must take seriously!"

Upon hearing this, Xing Tian couldn't help but puff out his chest proudly.

Houtu smiled faintly, then looked at Houyi.

"And then there's Hou Yi, who can be said to have pioneered the first case of intermarriage with a foreign tribe among the Wu tribe, and he surpassed your father, Da Yi, in speed and archery skills."

Upon hearing this, Hou Yi couldn't help but give a modest, simple smile.

At this moment, Xing Tian, ​​with his towering figure, patted him on the shoulder and praised, "I know you, the one who shot down nine Golden Crow princes of the demon race! Not bad, let's spar more sometime!"

Hou Yi, who was shaken by Xing Tian's slap, couldn't help but laugh helplessly upon hearing this.

"I don't have time to spar with you all the time, once is enough!"

"Oh, right!" Houtu, the ancestral witch, seemed to remember something and said to Houyi, "Houyi, besides introducing you to each other, the reason I came here this time is to ask you what your thoughts are on the lifespan of your wife, Nü'e?"

Hou Yi was taken aback.

Because from childhood to adulthood, he had never seen any member of the witch clan die of old age, not even the worst witch. He had only seen those who died in battle.

Therefore, he never thought about it in that direction.

Moreover, he and his wife, Nü'e, have been together for over two hundred years since they first met, got to know each other, and fell in love, and they have never thought about this issue.

Only when Houtu asked him did he remember.

Given the current lifespan of humans, which is about a thousand years, Nü'e has already lived one-fifth of her life. In another two or three hundred years, Nü'e will be old, while he will still be young.

He didn't care; no matter what Nü'e was like, he would remain the same.

But Nü'e was different. Knowing her as he did, Nü'e would never accept herself as an old woman and him as a still young man.

Thinking of this, Hou Yi felt bewildered and at a loss.

"Alright, that's why I'm here!" Houtu, the Ancestral Witch, said with a joking laugh as she looked at the bewildered Hougao.

"Lady Houtu, could it be...?"

Upon hearing this, Hou Yi was overjoyed and asked, "Do you have a way to solve the problem of Nu'e's lifespan?"

"That's right, I've come here to help you resolve this matter!"
