Chapter 681 - 675: Provocation? Useless!
After all, there’s a huge gap in strength.
The Demon Lord and the Buddha insist on being the unwelcome guests, and with Wa Huang unable to show up, Xi Huang really can’t do anything about them.
It’s undeniable that Xi Huang’s patience is quite impressive.
Even now, he’s still cheerfully entertaining the two unwelcome guests, the Buddha and the Demon Lord.
Xi Huang has firmly decided to outlast the Buddha and the Demon Lord.
Three pots of tea have been drunk, and five plates of pastries eaten.
Yet even now, Wa Huang shows no intention of appearing.
"Daoist friend, that Wa Huang woman is determined to be a turtle hiding in its shell!"
"What do we do now?" the Demon Lord whispered to the Buddha.
The Demon Lord and the Buddha indeed had a good plan before they came.
Their original strategy was to use their old routine.
The Demon Lord would play the bad cop, and the Buddha the good cop, forcibly pressuring Wa Huang to join their side.
If Wa Huang was unwilling, then they would both play the bad cop and force Wa Huang.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes.
They never expected that Wa Huang simply wouldn’t show up.
No matter what tricks you play, she just doesn’t respond.
No matter how clever your moves are, they’re all in vain.
Wa Huang’s strategy of staying the same in response to countless changes has truly left the Demon Lord and the Buddha helpless.
Just at this moment, the tea on the table was finished again, and the pastries were almost gone too.
Xi Huang instructed the attendants, "Go, prepare a few more pots of tea, and also get some more pastries."
Hearing Xi Huang’s words, the Demon Lord completely lost it.
The Demon Lord thought, do you really think we came to eat your pastries and drink your tea?
If we wanted pastries and tea, don’t we have them ourselves? Do we have to drink yours?
Not only the Demon Lord was losing it, even the usually good-tempered Buddha couldn’t hold it together at this point.
The Buddha had suffered losses elsewhere and was now being snubbed at Wa Huang’s place, making him feel extremely frustrated.
"Xi Huang, when will Wa Huang come to meet us?" the Buddha asked coldly.
Xi Huang: "????"
Xi Huang thought, when will she meet you? In the next life?
"It’s not that my sister won’t see you, it’s that she really can’t!"
"My sister was injured practicing a few days ago..." Xi Huang repeated the same excuse as before.
Before Xi Huang could finish, the Demon Lord interrupted directly, "Injured, but not dead? How can she not see anyone!"
"Moreover, you haven’t even informed her of our visit, so how do you know Wa Huang doesn’t want to see us?"
The Demon Lord’s words left Xi Huang a bit embarrassed.
The Buddha and the Demon Lord both looked at Xi Huang with unfriendly expressions.
Xi Huang thought, yeah, I might have been too obvious in my evasiveness.
"Since you insist on seeing my sister, I will go and inform her on your behalf!" With that, Xi Huang got up to go and inform her.
Before leaving, he also instructed the attendant, "Quickly bring the tea and pastries, or else people will think Wa Huang’s Palace lacks hospitality."
Demon Lord: "????"
Buddha: "????"
Looking at the newly served pastries and tea, the Buddha and the Demon Lord thought, Wa Huang’s Palace only has hospitality left.
The Demon Lord instinctively picked up a piece of pastry and thought, the pastries at Wa Huang’s Palace taste better than those at their Great Demon God Palace.
"Actually, this Xi Huang is quite sensible, he’s really going to inform us this time!" the Demon Lord said while eating the pastry.
Hearing this, the Buddha felt something was off.
Feeling uncertain, the Buddha wanted to see where Xi Huang was actually going to inform them.
So, the Buddha’s Divine Thought began to spread within Wa Huang’s Palace, searching for Xi Huang’s whereabouts.
It wouldn’t have been so bad if he hadn’t looked, but once he did, the Buddha nearly exploded with anger.
With his Divine Thought spread out, the Buddha quickly found Xi Huang.
At this moment, Xi Huang was in the adjacent hall, leisurely eating pastries and drinking tea.
Informing?
Informing my foot, Xi Huang was still fooling them.
"Informing, informing my foot!"
"That bastard Xi Huang is in the next hall eating pastries?"
"That bastard is still just stalling us, clearly not wanting us to see Wa Huang!" the Buddha said through gritted teeth.
Upon hearing this, the Demon Lord quickly spread his Divine Thought.
Indeed, his Divine Thought soon sensed Xi Huang in the adjacent hall.
"Clang!"
The angry Demon Lord flipped the pastries on the table.
"Outrageous!"
"This pair of siblings is outrageous!" The Demon Lord said, gritting his teeth in anger.
At this point, the Buddha’s expression turned even more displeased.
Compared to the Demon Lord’s impotent rage, the Buddha looked around and slowly said, "Wa Huang, I know you can hear."
"Come out and meet us! If things get ugly, it’ll be bad for both sides!"
This is Wa Huang’s Palace, and naturally, Wa Huang knows every move the Buddha and the Demon Lord make.
However, Wa Huang absolutely wouldn’t come out to meet them.
After doing so much before, if Wa Huang were to come out now, wouldn’t all her previous efforts be for naught?
As long as Wa Huang doesn’t come out to meet the Buddha and the Demon Lord, then they are the clowns.
But if Wa Huang really came out to meet them, then she’d be the clown herself.
Seeing that Wa Huang still played deaf and mute, with no intention of coming out.
The Buddha continued, "Since you’re not coming out, we’ll have to offend you then!"
With those words, the Buddha immediately spread out his Divine Thought, unrestrainedly searching the Wa Huang Palace.
He was looking, looking for Wa Huang’s figure.
After the Buddha released his Divine Thought, the Demon Lord followed suit immediately.
The Buddha and the Demon Lord searched for Wa Huang together, and with their dual search, two powerful Divine Thoughts enveloped Wa Huang’s Palace.
In doing so, the Buddha and the Demon Lord seemed to be slapping Wa Huang Palace’s face.
Xi Huang felt these two Divine Thoughts, and was also burning with anger, but in order for Wa Huang not to come out, he could only endure.
"Hmph!" Secretly, Wa Huang seemed to have guessed the intentions of the Demon Lord and the Buddha, and she snorted coldly, "Trying to provoke me to force me out?"
"Dream on!"
"Today I absolutely won’t come out, and when you and the Yin Celestial Son fight each other to exhaustion, today’s humiliation, I’ll repay double."
Seeing through the Demon Lord and the Buddha’s thoughts, Wa Huang had completely concealed her presence, avoiding their search.
Actually, just as Wa Huang thought.
The Demon Lord and the Buddha brazenly released their Divine Thoughts, with the main goal of provoking Wa Huang to come out by means of provocation.
After all, among the three of them, they are of the same realm, and this is Wa Huang’s Palace, where she has the home advantage.
With Wa Huang determined to play hide and seek with them, the Demon Lord and the Buddha indeed couldn’t easily find her.
Based on Buddha’s understanding of Wa Huang, provocation is the most effective.
Unfortunately, this time, the Buddha miscalculated.
Wa Huang suppressed her anger and decided to be this hiding turtle.
