Chapter 493 Don't act until you see the rabbit! Lending out treasures!
Seeing that neither Di Jun nor Donghuang Taiyi would budge and were unwilling to lend out the Hetu and Luoshu.
The sage Nuwa frowned slightly.
She knew in her heart that it wasn't that the two brothers were truly unwilling to lend the money, but rather that she hadn't offered them any benefits.
It should be noted that when the Sage Nuwa came to the Demon Realm earlier, she wanted to take Fuxi away, but Xun Nuo promised to help the Demon Race once in the future.
That's why Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi agreed to release Fuxi, allowing him to leave the demon race and depart from the demon realm with her.
"These two brothers are truly insatiable!"
The sage Nuwa sighed inwardly.
After a brief silence, she came to her senses, her gaze lingering on Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi for a moment before she spoke:
"Demon Emperor and Demon King".
"My elder brother Fuxi has now been reincarnated as a human and has been designated by Heaven as the first of the Three Sovereigns, the Heavenly Emperor."
"If one can successfully attain enlightenment, one will gain immeasurable merit."
"And the Hetu and Luoshu are precisely the treasures he needed to enter the Dao and attain enlightenment."
Nuwa paused here, her gaze fixed on Di Jun, and continued:
"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor."
"If you are willing to lend out the Hetu and Luoshu, you will naturally receive a share of the merits when Fuxi attains enlightenment."
After listening to what the sage Nuwa said, Di Jun's eyes flashed, but he didn't rush to reply. He looked thoughtful.
Just as Di Jun was pondering, Donghuang Taiyi looked at him and secretly transmitted his voice:
"Brother."
"This Nuwa has come to my demon realm time and again, each time with ulterior motives. Last time she took Fuxi away, and this time she wants to borrow the Hetu and Luoshu. Who knows what she's really up to?"
"In my opinion, it's best not to lend out the Hetu and Luoshu; they are your most precious treasures."
After hearing Donghuang Taiyi's telepathic message, Di Jun subconsciously glanced at him.
Then, he came to his senses and turned to look at Nuwa, saying:
"good!"
"Since Fellow Daoist Nuwa has said so..."
"If I, the Emperor, were to be so petty as to refuse to lend it, it would be far too unreasonable."
"No matter what, Fellow Daoist Nuwa and Fuxi are both of my demon race origin."
Nuwa inwardly scoffed upon hearing Dijun's words.
Thinking about this Demon Emperor Di Jun, he was truly shameless.
Previously, they said that Fuxi was no longer a member of the demon race, but now that they hear there is merit to be shared, they say such things again.
Of course, while thinking this in her heart, the sage Nuwa said aloud:
"Then thank you very much, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor!"
Meanwhile, Donghuang Taiyi, who was standing nearby, was stunned to see that Dijun had actually agreed to Nuwa's request.
He had already told Di Jun through telepathy, but he didn't understand why Di Jun still agreed to Nuwa's request.
Di Jun paid no attention to Donghuang Taiyi's astonishment, instead staring intently at the Sage Nuwa and said calmly:
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa."
"I can lend you the Hetu and Luoshu."
"But there are two conditions."
Upon hearing this, Nuwa frowned slightly, her expression turning somewhat unpleasant.
She stated that as long as Dijun was willing to lend out the Hetu and Luoshu, a share of the merits that Fuxi would gain in the future could be given to Dijun.
Who would have thought that Dijun would actually have conditions?
After a moment's thought, Nuwa came to her senses, her gaze darkening, and she said coldly:
"Your Majesty, Demon Emperor, haven't you gone too far?"
After all, she is a saintly being, and she has already humbled herself considerably by coming to borrow the Hetu and Luoshu from Dijun.
However, if it were Di Jun who repeatedly made things difficult for her, even the Sage Nuwa would get angry.
Seeing the hint of displeasure on Nuwa's face, Dijun smiled faintly and explained:
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, please don't be annoyed!"
"I am not asking for an exorbitant amount or demanding any benefits from you."
Upon hearing this, Nuwa paused for a moment, then said:
"What are the conditions?"
Di Jun replied with a cold expression:
"First, after Fuxi attained enlightenment, the Hetu and Luoshu must be returned in their original form without any damage."
Nuwa nodded and murmured an 'Mmm':
"That's natural."
Di Jun nodded slightly, and then said:
"Secondly, I want 20% of the merits that Fuxi gained after attaining enlightenment."
"After all, my Hetu Luoshu is not one treasure, but two."
"Besides, how are my brother Donghuang and I supposed to share this merit you've given us?"
At this point, Di Jun paused slightly, then added:
"If Fellow Daoist Nuwa agrees, I will lend you the Hetu and Luoshu."
"Of course, if Fellow Daoist Nuwa feels that the conditions I have set are excessive, you are welcome to turn around and leave now."
After hearing what Di Jun said, Nuwa's pretty face darkened.
But after a moment's thought, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.
He knew very well that the Hetu and Luoshu were extremely important for his elder brother Fuxi's entry into the Dao.
Without this treasure, Fuxi would likely have found it difficult to attain enlightenment.
While 20% of the merit is a bit much, it's not unacceptable compared to enabling Fuxi to successfully attain enlightenment.
After a slight pause, the sage Nuwa took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and replied:
"Okay, I promise!"
"At that time, 20% of the merit will be offered."
Seeing that Nuwa had agreed, Dijun laughed heartily and said with a happy expression:
"good!"
"Then this matter is settled."
After speaking, Di Jun waved his hand lightly, and then his companion treasure, the Hetu Luoshu, flew straight down in front of the Sage Nuwa.
Seeing this, the sage Nuwa casually put away the Hetu and Luoshu, and without lingering, she vanished.
After Nuwa left, Donghuang Taiyi quickly looked at Dijun, his face full of confusion, and asked:
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"For the sake of that little bit of merit, he lent out all his precious treasures."
"If anything goes wrong, wouldn't we suffer a huge loss?"
Upon hearing what Donghuang Taiyi said, Dijun smiled faintly, a calculating glint in his eyes, before replying:
"Second brother."
"You're mistaken."
"The Hetu and Luoshu are my innate treasures; how could they be so easily damaged?"
"Besides, it's just a matter of borrowing treasures. Once Fuxi becomes the Emperor of the Human Race, Nuwa will naturally return the Hetu and Luoshu to them."
"This is no loss to me; on the contrary, I can gain two benefits."
Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi paused for a moment, still feeling that it was inappropriate.
Seeing this, Di Jun said again:
"Of course, I also had other considerations in mind when I agreed to lend the Hetu and Luoshu to Nuwa."
"Firstly, Nuwa already owes our demon race a favor."
"When we helped Fuxi leave the demon race and the demon realm, Nuwa promised us that she would help our demon race once in the future."
"Right now, I have lent the Hetu and Luoshu to her brother Fuxi to prove his Dao, which has deepened the cause and effect."
"Whether it's Nuwa or her brother Fuxi, they will surely find it useful to our demon race in the future."
