Chapter 1289 Houtu was corrupted
Kong A-San looked on with disbelief.
What does Houtu mean by this behavior? Does she think she's a fool?
But Lan Boti, who was standing nearby, for reasons unknown, quietly put away Houtu's weapon.
After finishing these tasks, she nodded to Kong A-San: "Yes, sir, you've misunderstood."
Kong A-San stared silently at the two men, feeling utterly speechless, as if his native language were nothing.
I don't know why, but looking at this blue glass, I felt a momentary empathy for Sun Wukong.
However, he quickly dismissed such insights.
No, no, no, how can he be confused with Houtu?
Although Houtu may have corrupted Lan Boti, she did not corrupt Sun Busi.
That kid doesn't need to be led astray at all; he's got one mischievous idea after another in his head.
There is a fundamental difference between the two.
Kong A-San decided to unleash a little fury: "Ahem... It seems you two are quite surprised by my appearance."
"Could it be that while I was away from the Underworld, you did something you dared not let anyone know?"
Houtu and Lanboti looked at each other in confusion. What did this person mean by suddenly saying that?
Could it be that she/he secretly did something that was discovered by Kong A-San upon his return?
If that's the case, then that's really terrible. For a moment, I couldn't think of any way to make up for it!
Houtu thought about it and thought, and the only thing that came to mind was the cooperation with the Heavenly Court of Jin'ao Island. Could it be that Kong A-San was unhappy about it?
So, she tentatively began, "My lord, while you were away from the underworld, my brother and I attended a meeting in your place..."
He briefly recounted what had happened, observing Kong A-San's reaction out of the corner of his eye.
Kong A-San was taken aback upon hearing this, and then coughed lightly, feeling somewhat uneasy.
"Is that all? I'll give you another chance. Tell me now, and whatever it is, I'll let bygones be bygones," Kong A-San said, pursing his lips.
This time, the two looked at each other in bewilderment again.
That's not it?
What else could it be?
Blue Glass. After thinking for a long time without coming up with a solution, he could only helplessly say:
"My lord, please enlighten us. We are truly foolish and do not know where we have fallen short..."
Kong A-San sighed, "Then tell me what has happened in the underworld during this time!"
Hou Tu vaguely seemed to have touched something, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. She then quietly nudged Lan Boti next to her, wanting Lan Boti to be the one to take the lead.
Lan Boti remained silent, and then honestly explained the things he had been in charge of during this period.
If Lan Bo didn't mention it normally, Hou Tu and Di Jiang wouldn't think much of it.
Hearing Lan Boti talk about her daily tasks, Houtu felt a little guilty.
"Ahem... My brother and I have been mostly in seclusion cultivating lately."
Because of what happened before, and the fact that the disciples of Jin'ao Island were frantically hoarding cultivation, there was no intention to hide it, and it spread like wildfire throughout the entire prehistoric world.
Dijiang believed that their current cultivation level was still too low and they needed to continue to improve.
He didn't expect to be able to compare to the Tongtian Sect Leader, who was currently the number one person in the prehistoric world.
But at the very least, we can't let his and his sister's cultivation levels be too low, lest they accidentally become prey for others.
Therefore, the underworld is now basically managed by Lan Boti.
Although Lan Boti was also anxious because he didn't have time to improve his cultivation, things in the underworld were more important.
Therefore, under these circumstances, Lan Boti managed to maintain control of the underworld.
Now that Kong A-San has finally returned, she has seen hope that she can rest and go on to improve her cultivation.
Thinking of this, Lan Boti's gaze towards Kong A-San was filled with deep anticipation.
"My lord, now that you have returned, all matters concerning the underworld should be returned to their rightful place."
After saying this, Lan Boti readily handed over all his rights and responsibilities to Kong A-San.
While having power second only to one person is important, if her cultivation level doesn't improve, she'll eventually be overtaken by others.
Houtu and Dijiang, after all, were simply superior to their predecessors.
But if even her current subordinates surpass her one day, will she still be able to control them?
She could still tell the difference between the importance of power and cultivation.
Lan Boti, who had already made up his mind, even apologized to Ah San at the end.
She hoped that Kong A-San would consider her diligent handling of worldly affairs and allow her time to further her spiritual cultivation.
After hearing those words of persuasion and reasoning, Kong A-San, who had initially intended to delay, instantly felt as if his conscience had been stabbed several times.
In the end, Kong A-San dejectedly accepted everything from Lan Boti's hands.
Seeing this, Houtu seized the opportunity and returned all the power and affairs in her and Dijiang's hands to Kong A-san.
"Hehe...Sir, look at what my brother and I are holding, aren't you also..."
Kong A-San doesn't laugh.
"No, you and Dijiang must both stay. You two can take turns improving your cultivation." Kong A-San said, crossing his arms.
Upon receiving news of Kong A-San's appearance, Di Jiang rushed over and immediately spoke:
"In that case, let Dijiang stay outside with you, my lord, to handle the affairs of the underworld, while my sister and fellow Daoist Lan Boti can work together to improve their cultivation!"
Houtu was deeply moved upon hearing Dijiang's words: "Brother, thank you so much."
Dijiang's lips twitched slightly, but there was no need to exaggerate.
Kong A-San sighed softly, "It's good to have ambition. After all, with your current strength, you might not be enough to fight in the prehistoric world later on."
Upon hearing this, the people of Lanboti immediately perked up. Kong A-San's words were essentially a blatant reminder to them.
That confident attitude was as if they already knew some hidden truth.
At the same time, it also provided some confirmation of the predictions in Lan Boti's mind.
"What you say, sir, is truly enlightening and we are deeply grateful." Dijiang was the first to respond to Kong A-san, appearing sincere and earnest.
Upon hearing this, Kong A-San laughed instead.
Kong A-San stared intently at Di Jiang: "Since you put it that way, what are your thoughts on the current state of the prehistoric world?"
The tremendous changes in the primordial world were witnessed by almost all the prominent cultivators.
He wanted to hear what novel insights Dijiang had to offer.
Instead of answering the question directly, Dijiang said something that seemed completely unrelated.
"Has your wish been fulfilled this time, sir?"
