Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1848 Deng Chanyu's Side Story (Part 8)
Yu Xiao was pulled into the Three Immortals Island by Bi Xiao, who was always eager to see a good show, and Deng Chanyu emerged from the shadows.

She followed along the way, filled with emotion.

Even by the standards of a sage, Yu Xiao is an exceptionally outstanding disciple.

Intelligent, kind, resourceful, knowledgeable, and resilient, according to the standards of the Xuanmen (Taoist school), she is a typical seeker of the Tao.

In comparison, Nezha is also very smart and kind, but this mischievous child is not steady enough and lacks enough patience. He gets furious at the slightest provocation. The reason for this is that everything he has obtained is too easy. Cultivation techniques, spiritual materials, treasures, whatever he needs, Deng Chanyu can prepare it for him. He has lost the process of acquisition, so his thoughts and actions are often too simple.

Simplicity is not a bad thing. Yang Jian and Sun Wukong dream of this kind of simplicity, but if they get used to simple ways of doing things, they will definitely suffer when they encounter complex situations in the future.

Yu Xiao is different. She got to where she is today mainly through her own efforts. She cherishes every achievement she has made and will put in her utmost effort in everything she does in order not to let her hard work go to waste.

Let's compare this to Xiao Wu, who has a saintly father and saintly teachers? Let's not even mention it.

Like Yunxiao before her, Deng Chanyu also had mixed feelings. She would definitely protect her daughter from the wind and rain, but was that really the right thing to do?
"Ahem, teacher, could you please stop peeking at me? I'm scared."

"Huh? Peeking? I was looking openly and honestly! By the way, what are you afraid of? Be brave, things will be fine once we talk it out, it's not a big deal! Hehehe!"

Deng Chanyu cleared her mind, not wanting Nuwa to see her make a fool of herself.

Amidst a burst of wild, unrestrained thoughts, just as she was contemplating the catchy tunes and wayward girls of Seattle, Yunxiao arrived at lightning speed, riding on a white cloud.

Deng Chanyu looked worried and said with some complaint, "Could you have come a little later? I just saw your second sister, Qiongxiao, go inside."

The moment the two met, Yunxiao's fairy-like aura vanished by eighty percent, and she immediately switched into housewife mode. She complained to Deng Chanyu, "Why didn't you stop the child? With your abilities, you could have stopped her no matter what. Why did you let her in?"

Deng Chanyu felt wronged: "Didn't you want to explain things to the child? I escorted her all the way here, how come you're back so late? Not to mention Bixiao, even Qiongxiao has been inside for half an hour."

Yunxiao sighed heavily: "Today, we finally made some progress on the Ten-Turn Immortal Pill, but gathering eighty-one kinds of spiritual materials is too difficult. Currently, only I can help you. Do you think I can just turn around and leave after receiving this information?"

There are quite a few Quasi-Saints in the Jie Sect, but Duobao is "offline." Currently, Yunxiao is the only Quasi-Saint who has severed two corpses. If the Ten-Turn Immortal Pill could be refined a few more times, or if the Tongtian Sect Master had the miraculous alchemy skills of the Taiqing Saint, he might be able to simplify the process and let Zhao Gongming and Jinling Shengmu, two Quasi-Saints who have severed one corpse, participate. But that's definitely not going to happen now. Right now, they can only rely on their profound magical power to force it up. At this time, Yunxiao really can't leave.

What should she say? Should she say, "Teacher, my daughter, whom I haven't seen in ages, has come to our house. Can I ask for leave to go back?"

Yunxiao was in a state of utter confusion, and Deng Chanyu wasn't much better off.

She could talk for three years straight about the principles of time and space, about the birth of the primordial world and the destruction of chaos, but when faced with a daughter she had never raised, she couldn't utter a single word.

She said, "Forget about your Ten-Turn Immortal Pill. Yu Xiao has already been taken to the Three Immortal Islands by your precious sister. You and Yu Xiao look so alike that anyone with eyes can tell you're mother and daughter. Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao are waiting to see the show. Have you thought about how you're going to acknowledge Yu Xiao?" Yun Xiao clenched her fists. Although she knew she couldn't blame her two sisters, she was still furious to hear that Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao were preparing to laugh at her. She even had the urge to hit someone.

Seeing that the serene goddess was turning into a manic lunatic, Deng Chanyu didn't stand idly by: "Forget about Qiongxiao and Bixiao, and forget about those guys who are secretly watching the show. We at least need to come up with an explanation, right? Yuxiao will rush out of the Three Immortal Islands in a cup of tea. There's not much time left. Have you thought about what to say?"

Yunxiao countered, "Have you thought about how to tell Daji? Have you thought about how to face Xiao Wu?"

Deng Chanyu: “.”

That's really like bringing up the very thing she shouldn't have said. She could almost hear Nuwa's soft laughter in her ear; her teacher was laughing so happily.

It's clear that Yunxiao is very flustered. The quasi-saint who could remain calm in the face of a powerful enemy is now extremely uneasy.

Deng Chanyu was much calmer than her. "I can talk and laugh even when facing the Mother of Chaos. This is just a small matter."

"Judging from your expression, I can tell you haven't thought of what to say either. Well then, all the blame lies with me, so I'll do the talking."

With a wave of her hand, a fine spatial barrier separated Yunxiao from the primordial world. Yunxiao remained suspended in mid-air, able to see the outside world and hear sounds, but unable to move or speak.

Deng Chanyu's mastery of time was extremely skillful. After a short while, Yu Xiao rushed out of the Three Immortal Islands in a panic. Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao seemed to feel that things were getting out of control and wanted to say something more, but Yu Xiao took out the Golden Dragon Scissors and fiercely forced the two aunts to retreat.

She turned around, holding the Golden Dragon Scissors, and pointed them at the clouds: "So, you're my mother? You've been secretly watching me all this time? But you won't acknowledge me, leaving me to wander around like a fool?"

Yunxiao's face was full of bitterness, but she was unable to speak. The dignified Quasi-Saint who had severed two corpses was like an infant in the hands of the Saint, unable to even give a glance.

Yu Xiao grew increasingly furious. She pointed her golden dragon scissors at Yun Xiao and shouted, "Tell me! Tell me why you abandoned me! If you thought I was a burden, why did you bring me into this world in the first place?!"

"Insolence!" The sage's anger caused the heavens and earth to change color, rivers to flow backward, mountains to collapse, and countless birds and beasts to lie on the ground, preparing to face their doom.

Yu Xiao's neck was stiff, but the last bit of stubbornness in her blood made her grit her teeth, turn her head, and look directly at Deng Chanyu.

"Ayu, this child is just having a moment of despair, don't..." Before Nuwa could say anything, Deng Chanyu waved her hand and threw Nuwa's consciousness into another infinite loop of time and space.

“Your mother misses you very much. I stopped her. If she has any grudges, she should come at me.” Deng Chanyu looked at her second daughter and spoke calmly, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.

Yu Xiao bit her lips until they bled, and bright red blood flowed down the corners of her mouth.
