Chapter 66 Close Friend? Can't Afford to Play That Game!
"Our..."
Hearing Ye Kai's blunt words, Nuwa's cheeks flushed even more, and her eyes even sparkled.
"No, that's not what I meant. I meant that I will definitely take good care of the human race we created. No, no... I mean..."
Seeing Nuwa's reaction, Ye Kai worried that she would be angry, so he quickly changed his words and explained.
But no matter how he explained it, something didn't seem right.
It even feels like the more you try to explain, the worse it gets.
Seeing Ye Kai's reaction, Nuwa couldn't help but smile. "I know, I understand. You don't need to explain."
In short, the fate of humanity is in your hands.
Nuwa herself felt something was off as she said this.
After all, creating a human being is a very delicate matter.
Given their identities among the human race, it's inevitable that people would think in that direction.
At that moment, Nuwa dared not say anything more and only wanted to leave as soon as possible.
After a ten-thousand-year seclusion to properly digest what I gained from becoming a saint, there's still this awkward situation!
Just as she was thinking this, a clear and melodious phoenix cry rang out.
Then a golden phoenix flew in from the south.
"It's her! She's finally here!"
Upon seeing this, Ye Kai immediately focused his mind and thought to himself.
If he's not mistaken, this golden phoenix should be Nuwa's mount and maid, Fairy Jin Ning.
Not only Ye Kai, but Nuwa was also taken aback upon seeing this. "It's her? What's she doing here?"
She said this, which clearly indicated that she knew the other person.
Upon hearing Nuwa's words, Ye Kai was taken aback. In his previous life, he only knew that after Nuwa attained sainthood, a golden phoenix came to serve her and was taken in as her mount.
But to everyone's surprise, Nuwa actually knew the other party.
"Could they have some connection? Sure enough! Not just anyone can become a saint's mount."
Ye Kai thought to himself.
A sage's mount may not seem particularly impressive, but in reality, it's equivalent to a personal secretary and dedicated driver—the most attentive people. How could just anyone be qualified for that role?
Now, it makes the most sense for Nuwa and Jin Ning to get to know each other beforehand!
Just as he was thinking this, the golden phoenix arrived in front of him and transformed into a beautiful fairy dressed in rainbow-colored robes and draped with golden feathers.
"This humble servant, Jin Feng, congratulates the Goddess Nuwa on attaining sainthood!"
"This humble servant has long admired Your Majesty's divine power and is willing to serve you as your attendant, hoping that Your Majesty will not find fault with me."
Jin Feng bowed to Nuwa and said sincerely.
"Golden Phoenix?!"
Upon hearing Jin Feng address him in this way, Ye Kai's mind immediately tightened.
Although there are many golden phoenixes in the primordial world, there is only one that can be named Golden Phoenix, and that is the eldest daughter of the Phoenix Clan's progenitor, Yuan Feng, who is now the ruler of the Phoenix Clan!
This woman is none other than Jin Feng, the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, and she even wants to become Nuwa's mount?!
Not only him, but Nuwa couldn't help but smile when she heard Jin Feng's words. "You? Want to be my mount?"
Nuwa looked even stranger when asked this question.
Compared to Nuwa, Jin Feng looked pitiful and said, "I hope Your Majesty will not despise me."
As she said this, she lowered her stance even further.
However, her act of lowering her stance was not the kind of humility a subordinate shows to a superior; it was more like an act between two close friends.
Upon hearing this, Nuwa's smile deepened. "In that case, let's begin."
Having said that, she readily agreed.
However, as soon as she said that, she seemed to realize something.
"No! If I were to truly accept you, wouldn't the Phoenix Clan be..."
As Nuwa spoke, a glint of shrewdness appeared in her eyes, for she had already seen through Jin Feng's scheme.
Seeing that Nuwa had seen through her plan, Jin Feng didn't care at all. Instead, she seemed fearless and said, "Your Majesty has already agreed, so you can't go back on your word."
Seeing Jin Feng's appearance, Nuwa became even more certain that Jin Feng was indeed plotting against her, just as she had suspected.
Although she has a deep connection with the Phoenix Clan and is even close to the Golden Phoenix, the Phoenix Clan is burdened with ancient karma, which she cannot bear even after she has attained sainthood!
However, as Jin Feng said, she had already agreed, and it would be unreasonable to go back on her word now.
Not to mention that Jin Feng meant well. Although Jin Feng had her own schemes, Nuwa understood her intentions.
Jin Feng's scheming was also for the sake of the Phoenix Clan.
They, brother and sister, had both received kindness from the Phoenix Clan, and it's impossible that they would forget their roots and fail to repay their kindness now that they have attained sainthood.
In this way, not to mention their relationship with the Phoenix Clan, even her friendship with the Golden Phoenix is likely to come to an end!
"You may become my disciple, but I will give you a new Daoist name and sever all ties between you and the Phoenix Clan. Are you willing?"
After a moment of contemplation, Nuwa made this decision.
After all, it only means severing ties with karma; it doesn't mean she won't take care of the Phoenix Clan if they encounter any problems in the future.
After all, her acceptance of Jin Feng was the best attitude she could have shown!
As for severing ties with karma, it can prevent the Phoenix Clan's karma from affecting one's own fortune.
This achieves two goals at once, which is a good result!
Upon hearing Nuwa's suggestion, Jin Feng quickly understood Nuwa's meaning and immediately agreed.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty. I am willing. I humbly request Your Majesty to bestow a name upon me!"
As she said this, she smiled broadly and bowed slightly to Nuwa.
Since Nuwa has made this statement, it means that Nuwa will take care of the Phoenix Clan from now on.
With the care of a sage, their Phoenix Clan will be free from disasters and calamities in the future!
Given that, how could she possibly refuse?
"In that case, from today onwards, you shall be called Jin Ning."
Seeing that Jin Ning had agreed, Nuwa did not hesitate and immediately named it.
"Jin Ning thanks Your Majesty for bestowing this name upon him."
Upon hearing this, Jin Ning was overjoyed and immediately bowed in agreement.
Then, she shone with golden light and transformed into a golden phoenix, landing beside Nuwa.
Nuwa, seeing this, did not hesitate and immediately climbed onto Jin Ning's back.
Upon seeing this, Ye Kai's heart tightened. "Nuwa, haven't you decided on a name for this supreme treasure yet?"
Because of the earlier incident, Nuwa has not yet officially named the innate gourd vine.
Now that Nuwa was about to leave, Ye Kai couldn't care less about anything else.
"Nuwa?"
Upon hearing Ye Kai address him in this way, Jin Ning couldn't help but let a sly look appear in his narrow phoenix eyes.
She had known Nuwa for tens of thousands of years and had never seen any man address Nuwa so intimately, especially after Nuwa had attained sainthood!
"Let's call it the Creation Whip."
Upon hearing Ye Kai's reminder, Nuwa immediately realized this, pondered for a moment, and then named it again.
"A human-creating whip? Sure!"
Upon hearing Nuwa's naming of the place, Ye Kai naturally did not object.
He first agreed, and then began to carve lines on the Creation Whip:
It means "to create people"!
Upon seeing this, Nuwa seemed to realize something, and her cheeks flushed.
Then she urged Jin Ning, "Jin Ning, let's go."
"It is Your Majesty."
Upon hearing Nuwa's instructions, Jin Ning did not hesitate and immediately agreed.
Then she flapped her wings and headed straight for the Nuwa Palace.
To outsiders, this is a perfect master-servant relationship!
Meanwhile, Jin Ning, secretly curious, transmitted her voice: "Your Highness, what is your relationship with him? Do you have feelings for him?"
"Jin Feng... cough cough, Jin Ning, you can't talk nonsense. My relationship with him is just ordinary."
"Oh dear, just a normal relationship? And you call me 'Empress'? I know you well enough. Tell me, in the entire primordial world, how many people dare to address you by your given name?"
"My elder brother."
"Shouldn't the great god Fuxi call you 'sister'?"
"you!"
"Me? Although we are close friends, we address each other as fellow Daoists. Now I must address you as Your Majesty."
Having said that, Jin Ning paused slightly, then said with a hint of resentment, "Well, now some male immortal has appeared out of nowhere and actually stolen your soul."
"Don't talk nonsense, things haven't gotten to that point between us."
"Oh, so it was intentional?"
"Jin Ning, if you keep talking nonsense, we'll go visit the Phoenix Clan, the Dragon Clan, and the Qilin Clan!"
Jin Ning: "..."
Oh dear, I can't afford to play this game anymore.
