As Xu Fang was about to collect the treasures, he was startled by Fuxi's sudden utterance and quickly turned to look at him.
"What? Does fellow Daoist have anything else to say?"
Xu Fang asked, at the same time reaching into his embrace to grip the Measuring Heaven Ruler, ready to strike at any moment.
He had just said that Fuxi and Nuwa were reasonable and understanding beings, a clear stream in the Great Desolation.
Now that their request for the treasures was not going smoothly, would they drop their pretense and prepare to attack him?
Facing the presence of two Grand Unity Golden Immortals, Xu Fang naturally felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. He cursed inwardly, thinking that Fuxi and Nuwa had been faking it all along, what a disgrace!
Nuwa, seeing Fuxi's reaction, also thought that Fuxi was about to resort to force to seize the treasures, and immediately restrained him.
"Brother, no! How can we do such a thing as bullying others with our power?"
"Don't worry, sister. How could I be such a rude person?"
Fuxi turned back to Nuwa with a smile, patted her small hand, and signaled her not to worry.
As a single person, Xu Fang felt like he had been hit by ten thousand critical blows.
You two are openly flirting in front of me, have you considered my feelings at all?
It would be better to have a straightforward fight and just kill me!
After Fuxi comforted Nuwa, he turned back to Xu Fang and cupped his hands in greeting again.
"Fellow Daoist, I know it is asking too much for you to give up these two treasures."
"So, can I discuss with you, and exchange the treasures in my hand for these two?"
As Fuxi spoke, his hand glowed, and a zither appeared in it.
Xu Fang looked closely. The zither emitted a faint light, which flowed gently, bringing peace and tranquility to the mind.
"Fuxi Qin?"
Xu Fang quickly recognized the treasure. It was hard not to, as the treasure map hovering beside him clearly displayed the name of the Fuxi Qin.
"Fellow Daoist is indeed knowledgeable!"
Fuxi exclaimed sincerely. This person not only recognized them earlier but also recognized his treasure now, truly a person of vast experience.
"Yes, this is indeed the Fuxi Qin."
"This zither is an instrument I created by comprehending the Great Dao, using jade and heavenly silk. It emits a gentle white light that calms the heart, and its music has a serene and peaceful quality."
Fuxi introduced the origin and use of his zither to Xu Fang.
However, Xu Fang was not very interested. He had already obtained its information by opening the Fuxi Qin on the treasure map.
Seeing this, Fuxi thought Xu Fang disliked the treasure for its lack of offensive power and quickly said.
"Fellow Daoist, my Fuxi Qin not only calms the mind, but if manipulated with intent, it possesses the mysterious power to control the minds of all beings."
"Therefore, although this zither is merely an ordinary innate spiritual treasure, exchanging it for your two treasures would not put you at a disadvantage!"
Fuxi finished speaking and looked at Xu Fang with expectation.
One of these two treasures was an ordinary innate spiritual treasure, and the other was a supreme acquired treasure. Neither seemed to possess the power of his Fuxi Qin.
If this fellow Daoist truly loved treasures, it should not be difficult for him to make a choice.
"Brother, no!"
Nuwa immediately spoke up, surprised that Fuxi would use his Fuxi Qin to exchange for treasures!
The Fuxi Qin was Fuxi's most beloved item. Fuxi played the zither, and she listened. This Fuxi Qin had witnessed so many of their happy moments!
Hearing this, Fuxi turned back, patted Nuwa's head, and shook his head.
"Why not? Since these two treasures are fated to be with you, as your elder brother, I naturally must lend you a hand!"
"But brother..."
"There's no 'but.' You are my greatest treasure!"
"There's an outsider here, and you say this..."
Xu Fang, as the outsider, was watching them show off their affection again, and really wanted to bash his head against a wall.
Are you going to let single dogs have any chance to survive?
He immediately ignored them and focused his gaze on the Fuxi Qin, beginning to ponder.
The function of the Fuxi Qin in dominating the minds of all beings far surpassed the Four Seas Bottle and the Misty Dew Qiankun Net.
After all, these two treasures had too limited functions. Besides countering fire-elemental Daoist magic and treasures, they had little practical use.
Xu Fang pondered, should he agree to Fuxi's proposal and exchange treasures for treasures?
After all, he had already refused them once. If he refused again, he didn't know if Fuxi and Nuwa could maintain their polite demeanor.
Most importantly, if it really came to a fight, he would not be able to defeat these two siblings.
While Xu Fang was considering the pros and cons, several voices reached his ears.
"Why haven't you acted yet? Little Li Zi's hands are sweaty, but he's not making a move. What's going on?"
This voice clearly came from the Measuring Heaven Ruler, expressing strong dissatisfaction with Xu Fang's indecisiveness.
"Don't act rashly. Everything can be discussed! I think Fuxi's proposal is good."
"Yes, I also feel a connection with Nuwa. Our fate is quite strong!"
These two voices clearly belonged to the Four Seas Bottle and the Misty Dew Qiankun Net. They sensed a deeper connection with Nuwa and were actually preparing to abandon Xu Fang and embrace Nuwa.
"What is the relationship between the Four Seas Bottle and the Misty Dew Qiankun Net and Nuwa?"
Xu Fang was startled and immediately followed this line of thought, searching his memory.
After a moment, Xu Fang realized.
"So that's how it is! I didn't think of it earlier!"
After searching, Xu Fang finally found the relationship between the Four Seas Bottle and the Misty Dew Qiankun Net and Nuwa.
According to his vague memory, the Four Seas Bottle and the Misty Dew Qiankun Net originally belonged to Nuwa.
However, in Nuwa's hands, they had never been famous, and there were virtually no records of them being used.
During the Investiture of the Gods war, Nuwa bestowed the Four Seas Bottle and the Misty Dew Qiankun Net upon Princess Longji.
Princess Longji, also known as the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven Haotian and the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool, was banished to Phoenix Mountain's "Qingluan Douque" to undergo tribulation for breaking the heavenly rules at the Peach Banquet.
Princess Longji was a celestial being specializing in water-elemental magic. Nuwa's bestowal of the Four Seas Bottle and the Misty Dew Qiankun Net, two water-elemental treasures, further enhanced her prowess.
When the Flame-Within Immortal Luo Xuan set fire to Xiqi, Princess Longji used the Misty Dew Qiankun Net to capture all the fire crows, extinguishing the flames.
Luo Xuan was enraged and attacked Princess Longji with his Five Dragons Wheel. Princess Longji then used the Four Seas Bottle to counter.
As the memory of the Four Seas Bottle and the Misty Dew Qiankun Net surfaced in Xu Fang's mind, his thoughts towards the two treasures changed.
"So, these two treasures really belonged to Nuwa originally?"
Xu Fang thought to himself, shaking his head. In that case, he had thought Nuwa was trying to snatch treasures midway, but it turned out he had intercepted them first!
