The Heavenly Court, after the battle between Zeus and the Six Sages' avatars, had a moment of realization. Everyone began to go into seclusion for cultivation!
Yao Ji and her sister Nu Wa were bored. They wanted to return to Kunlun but were afraid of being punished by Taishang. So, Nu Wa found Yao Ji.
"Sister, I want to go out and play. Will you accompany me?"
Yao Ji heard this and smiled, gently stroking Nu Wa's head.
"Little sister, after the Heavenly Court was established, there's a distinction between gods and mortals. We can't disturb the mortal world privately!"
Nu Wa, upon hearing this, smiled playfully.
"Sister, we'll go secretly, and no one will know. If I had known the Heavenly Court was this boring, we shouldn't have come. It's not as fun as Kunlun, and we can't go back to Kunlun now. Sister~ please take me to the mortal world to play. We can also go see Father Emperor and Mother Empress."
Seeing Nu Wa's coyness, and feeling a longing for her parents, Yao Ji dotingly stroked Nu Wa's head.
"Alright, alright, I'll go with you, but it can't be for too long. Otherwise, if we're discovered, the Heavenly Emperor will definitely go to Kunlun to tell Master again!"
Nu Wa, seeing Yao Ji agree, immediately jumped up and down, saying, "Okay, okay! Sister is the best!"
Yao Ji smiled without a word. The sisters then bypassed the guards of the Heavenly Court and secretly descended to the mortal world.
After Yao Ji and Nu Wa left the Heavenly Court, Nu Wa knew that if Shen Nong and his wife found out they had secretly gone to the mortal world, they would surely make them return to the Heavenly Court.
"Sister, can we play for a while before seeing Father Emperor and Mother Empress? Otherwise, they'll definitely urge us to return to the Heavenly Court."
Yao Ji nodded and said softly, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Once you've had enough fun, we'll go to Huoyun Cave, and then return to the Heavenly Court."
"Yay, Sister is the best!" Nu Wa was extremely excited to hear this.
Yao Ji shook her head helplessly at the sight.
Although Nu Wa was saved by Taishang back then, she still had a childish heart and had never truly grown up.
"Sister, we've been away from the human race for so long. How about we go and see the human race?"
Yao Ji nodded and said, "Yes, yes, that would be good. We can also see how the human race is doing now."
With a goal, the two went to the nearest human city.
What met their eyes was vastly different from their memories. This large city was no longer an isolated one; there were many villages around it.
The two almost toured the entire human city. All the cities had changed greatly.
Seeing the thriving human race, Nu Wa quickly asked Yao Ji, "Sister, if this continues, will our human race become the most powerful race in the Nine Provinces?"
Yao Ji smiled and said, "Certainly! Think about it, when Empress Nu Wa created humans, we were just one of millions of races. Now, humans have spread throughout the Primordial World. As long as our people are united, the Primordial World will surely respect humanity in the future!"
Nu Wa giggled. All of this was achieved through the human race's own hard work. As a member of the human race, she naturally felt proud.
Seeing this, Yao Ji immediately said, "Little sister, we have now toured the entire human city. Should we go to Huoyun Cave?"
Upon hearing this, Nu Wa's face immediately fell.
"No, Sister, we haven't been to many places yet! And there's still so much delicious food we haven't tried!"
Yao Ji shook her head helplessly. The human race had indeed developed a lot of new delicacies, much tastier than what they used to eat. Yao Ji also wanted to stay longer, but they had been away for quite some time, and if they lingered any longer, they might be discovered.
"Alright, little sister. If Haotian suddenly comes out of seclusion while we're out, you and I will be in trouble!"
Nu Wa waved her hand dismissively.
"Sister, don't worry. Haotian must be in seclusion for cultivation and won't come out anytime soon. You can rest assured!"
After speaking, Nu Wa darted into the crowd and disappeared.
Yao Ji sighed helplessly and immediately went to look for Nu Wa.
Just then, Yao Ji was bumped into. When Yao Ji turned around, the person quickly apologized, "Miss, please forgive me. I was too hasty. I'm truly sorry!"
Yao Ji smiled and immediately said, "It's alright, you don't have to be so formal!"
After speaking, Yao Ji walked in the direction Nu Wa had gone. The man, after seeing Yao Ji, was stunned for a moment. It was only after Yao Ji had left for a while that he snapped back to reality.
"What a beautiful woman!"
After saying this, the man chuckled and shook his head, muttering to himself, "Yang Tianyou, oh Yang Tianyou!"
He then shook his head and headed towards the distant city gates.
After Yao Ji found Nu Wa, Nu Wa immediately said, "Sister, we've been playing in the city for the past few days. Why don't we go and see the surrounding villages?"
Before Yao Ji could react, Nu Wa ran towards the city gate.
Yao Ji hadn't expected Nu Wa to be so playful. She said helplessly, "Run slower, wait for me!"
Nu Wa heard Yao Ji's words, turned back, and made a face at Yao Ji.
"Sister, come and chase me!"
Saying this, Nu Wa ran off without looking back.
Yao Ji didn't notice that the direction they left the city was the same direction the man who had bumped into her had left.
Not long after Nu Wa and Yao Ji left the city and entered a forest, a large man with a saber suddenly jumped out.
"Hehehe, I've been waiting here for a fated person. After waiting for three days and three nights, someone has finally arrived! Hahaha!"
Nu Wa and Yao Ji frowned at the ferocious-looking man.
The dark-faced man, seeing that Yao Ji and Nu Wa showed no fear, didn't think much of it and shouted at them.
"Quickly hand over your money so I can have a good meal. Otherwise, hehehe!"
Nu Wa, seeing the man smiling foolishly, couldn't help but say, "Brother, do you only rob for money and not for women? How about we go deeper into the forest for some private discussion?"
After speaking, Nu Wa didn't forget to give him a flirtatious wink.
Nu Wa originally intended to lure him into the woods and deal with him. However, the man, upon hearing this, became furious and immediately roared:
"Where did this little girl come from, daring to ruin my reputation? I've always only robbed for money, never for women! My wife said that robbing for money is a matter of circumstance, but robbing women is the act of a scoundrel! You dare to harm me today! Hmph!"
Nu Wa and Yao Ji were both amused by the man.
Just then, Yang Tianyou happened to pass by. Seeing someone robbing two young ladies, he immediately stepped forward.
"How dare you rob in broad daylight!"
The man, startled by this sudden shout, dropped his saber. Seeing that the person who had arrived was a scholarly young man, he awkwardly picked up the saber from the ground.
"You bookworm, you want to play the hero and save the damsel?"
