The Tianfeng Ancient Clan was a group located on the edge of the universe. Their ancestors had never produced any earth-shattering emperors, but in every era, someone from the Tianfeng Ancient Clan would become a Saint, which ensured that the Tianfeng Ancient Clan never declined.
Moreover, the Tianfeng Ancient Clan was one of the few ancient clans that did not seal themselves in divine sources. Instead, they remained active in the world, so even though their ancestors had never produced an emperor, people were not unfamiliar with the Tianfeng Ancient Clan.
However, two years ago, a bizarre event occurred in the Tianfeng Ancient Clan: the son of the Tianfeng Ancient Clan's leader mysteriously disappeared.
The son of the Tianfeng Ancient Clan's leader was named Tianfeng Wuqi. Perhaps it was because of his poorly chosen name, but as a prince, Tianfeng Wuqi's talent was truly mediocre. Although he couldn't be considered a completely untrainable waste, he was only slightly better than an ordinary mortal body.
While most people could awaken their abilities in ten years, Tianfeng Wuqi spent fifteen years cultivating to the Awakening Realm, then another thirty years to reach the Transcendent Realm. Finally, with the help of countless pills and resources, he spent fifty years cultivating to the peak of the Concentrated God Realm. In total, he spent nearly a century cultivating to barely reach the peak of the Concentrated God Realm, and this was with the best techniques and resources available. The other members of the Tianfeng Ancient Clan endured this only because Tianfeng Wuqi was the son of the clan leader.
But in private, they all believed that even a mundane pig could have its cultivation raised to the Life and Death Realm with so many resources, which showed just how poor Tianfeng Wuqi's talent was.
Originally, after Tianfeng Wuqi disappeared, most people were secretly happy, but unfortunately, their joy didn't last long, as Tianfeng Wuqi returned.
Three months later, Tianfeng Wuqi returned with powerful strength.
Tianfeng Yuan, Tianfeng Wuqi's father, suspected that his son had been possessed by some old monster, so he personally investigated Tianfeng Wuqi's soul. However, the result was that Tianfeng Wuqi was still the same Tianfeng Wuqi, and had not been controlled or possessed.
Tianfeng Yuan also asked Tianfeng Wuqi where he had been during the three months he was missing, but Tianfeng Wuqi only said that he had received the inheritance of a powerful expert, and didn't say much else.
Tianfeng Yuan's sixth sense told him that his son's disappearance for three months couldn't be as simple as he said, so… he reported it to the Holy Emperor Palace, requesting the Holy Emperor Palace to thoroughly investigate the matter. To make the Holy Emperor Palace realize the seriousness of the matter, he even denigrated Tianfeng Wuqi's talent to nothing in his memorial, even more harshly than those clan members who were dissatisfied with Tianfeng Wuqi.
His son's change made him suspect that he was being controlled by people from other great worlds, and he couldn't find anything unusual with his strength.
This was why Houtu didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing about it.
He had seen people who坑爹 (kang die - pit their fathers), but never one who 坑儿子 (kang er zi - pit their sons) like this. However, Tianfeng Yuan had accidentally guessed one thing correctly.
Gu Changsheng brought Houtu to the Tianfeng Ancient Clan. When Tianfeng Yuan learned that the Holy Emperor Palace had sent people, he quickly led the clan elders out to welcome them.
When they saw that the visitors were actually His Majesty the Holy Emperor and the Holy Mother Houtu, Tianfeng Yuan staggered and almost collapsed to the ground.
"We pay our respects to His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and to the Holy Mother Houtu!"
The crowd knelt on the ground, piously worshiping, and their expressions were extremely excited. They never expected that His Majesty the Holy Emperor and the Holy Mother Houtu would come together. Either of them was someone they wouldn't normally have the qualifications to meet, but today they came together.
"Rise!" Gu Changsheng said indifferently.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Holy Emperor!" The crowd stood up and stood respectfully to the side.
"What, are you just going to let us stand here like fools, without going in?" Gu Changsheng asked.
Tianfeng Yuan was shocked and quickly led the way, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I was too excited and forgot the main business."
How could he not be excited? This was His Majesty the Holy Emperor and the Holy Mother Houtu! Many people spent their entire lives only hearing their names, but never seeing them in person. But now they had not only seen them, but were also at such a close distance.
Under Tianfeng Yuan's guidance, the two entered the small world of the Tianfeng Ancient Clan.
Gu Changsheng and Houtu had thought that the architecture of the Tianfeng Ancient Clan would be very retro, retaining the style of the ancient era, but the reality was not so.
The architectural style of the Tianfeng Ancient Clan was surprisingly similar to that of the human race.
Soon, Tianfeng Yuan led Gu Changsheng and Houtu to a large hall.
"Your Majesty, Holy Mother, please!"
Tianfeng Yuan said to the main seat in the hall.
"I knew I shouldn't have brought you here," Gu Changsheng suddenly said to Houtu.
Houtu was stunned, and then realized something. She turned to Tianfeng Yuan and said, "Don't call me Holy Mother in the future, call me Holy Mother Houtu."
"Ah…"
Tianfeng Yuan was stunned for a moment, but Houtu didn't wait for him to reply. She waved her hand, and a seat appeared next to the main seat in the hall, and then she sat down.
Gu Changsheng naturally sat on the main seat.
Seeing this, Tianfeng Yuan also knew that he had made a mistake just now.
It was rumored that His Majesty the Holy Emperor and the Holy Mother Houtu didn't have any close relationship. It would have been fine to address them separately as "Your Majesty" or "Holy Mother", but saying them together was a mistake.
"Your Majesty, Holy Mother…"
"Hmm?" Gu Changsheng glanced at Tianfeng Yuan, who wished he didn't have a mouth at that moment.
"Forget it, do you know why we're here today?" Houtu said at this time.
Tianfeng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Houtu with gratitude. He said, "I know."
"Then do you know that if what you reported is true, it will put your son in a situation of eternal damnation?" Houtu continued to ask.
Tianfeng Yuan's face changed, but he still nodded firmly and said, "I know."
"Actually, you don't have to be so selfless," Houtu said softly.
"Ah?" Tianfeng Yuan looked at Houtu in confusion, not understanding what she meant.
"Alright, go and bring your son out," Gu Changsheng said.
"Yes, please wait a moment, Your Majesty the Holy Emperor and Holy Mother Houtu."
After Tianfeng Yuan finished speaking, he left the hall to find his son.
"You guys go down too," Gu Changsheng said to the others.
"Yes!"
The others responded and also left the hall, leaving only Gu Changsheng and Houtu.
After they left, Gu Changsheng laughed and said, "You lost again!"
Houtu's face was ugly. Before coming, she wanted to take back the bet she lost earlier, the "Big Brother Changsheng" bet, so she had the whimsical idea of betting with Gu Changsheng.
She bet on whether Tianfeng Yuan would plead for his son.
Houtu had learned about Tianfeng Yuan's fatherly love for his son Tianfeng Wuqi, and that he would rather bear great pressure to give Tianfeng Wuqi the best cultivation resources. She didn't believe that Tianfeng Yuan wouldn't plead for his son.
Houtu bet that he would, and Gu Changsheng naturally bet that he wouldn't.
But now the result was out, Tianfeng Yuan didn't plead, which meant that this bet ended with Houtu losing.
"Now that there's no one here, it's time to fulfill the bet!" Gu Changsheng looked at Houtu with a smile.
A strange look flashed across Houtu's face, but she finally stood up, came behind Gu Changsheng, stretched out her jade hands, placed them on Gu Changsheng's shoulders, and then began her first massage work for someone in countless years.
"Yes, right here, a little harder, ouch, as expected of someone in the Breaking Dao Realm, the massage is so comfortable. Speaking of which, we've both created an unprecedented event. I'm the first person to have someone in the Breaking Dao Realm massage me, and you're the first person in the Breaking Dao Realm to massage someone, tsk tsk, not bad…"
Listening to Gu Changsheng's words, Houtu originally thought that she would become angry, but she was surprisingly calm inside.
After massaging for a while, Houtu sat back in her seat, because Tianfeng Yuan had returned with Tianfeng Wuqi.
"What a pity, I should have adjusted the time," Gu Changsheng said with a regretful expression.
Houtu said quietly, why don't I keep massaging you, massage you until a thousand years later?
Gu Changsheng's face stiffened, he touched his nose, and said, "There's still no need."
"What about in the future?" Houtu asked.
"There's no need in the future either," Gu Changsheng shook his head repeatedly.
"Hehe!" Houtu mocked.
In a thousand years, Gu Changsheng's wife will be born!
