The Investiture: Unlimited Blade Works Nezha
Chapter 146 - 145: Pressured into Marriage and Having Kids Even in the Primordial Era?

Chapter 146: Chapter 145: Pressured into Marriage and Having Kids Even in the Primordial Era?

Nezha looked arrogantly at the Earth God and said, "As the Thunder Department Main God of the Heavenly Court, it is my duty to subdue demons and eliminate evildoers. Why are you stepping forward to stop me? Are you colluding with those demons?"

Nezha’s words weren’t entirely misleading. The Thunder Department had many functions, and demon hunting was one of them.

The Earth God immediately fell to his knees, endlessly kowtowing and begging for mercy: "General, you misunderstand me! General!"

"This place is where Fairy Yaoji, who violated the Heavenly Rules, is imprisoned. I was ordered by the Great Venerable to guard it. No other Immortal Gods are allowed to enter or interact with Fairy Yaoji."

"Oh? So a demon runs inside, and you simply ignore it? Doesn’t that turn this place into a sanctuary for demons?"

The Earth God was somewhat bewildered. This array was personally set up by Hao Tian. Although he wasn’t skilled in array techniques, as a Second Corpse Quasi-Saint big shot, how could it be possible for any demon to wander in so casually?

Though, truth be told, when setting up the array, he hadn’t put in much effort.

And yet the pangolin demon had just entered!

While wiping his cold sweat, the Earth God tried to backtrack: "General, how about this? Let me stay behind to help catch that demon for you."

Nezha sneered, "You?"

The Earth God nodded submissively and said, "Yes, yes. I, a humble old servant, have cultivated for ten thousand years. Though my mana cannot compare to the General’s, I do possess minor skills."

Nezha’s eyes carried amusement. He stopped Yang Jian from saying anything and responded, "Then, off you go! If you can catch that demon, perhaps I will even credit you for your efforts!"

"Thank you, General! Thank you, General!"

The Earth God then hurriedly escaped into Hua Mountain to search for the demon.

After waiting for a short while, there was a loud "thud" from the ground. The Earth God emerged, sitting directly on the earth, battered and bruised, his walking stick even broken.

Nezha grinned and asked, "Earth God, why are you out alone? Where’s the demon?"

The Earth God: "..."

This is just too much!

Already caught in the middle, he’d wanted to try coming up with a solution. But when he went to confront the pangolin demon, that demon pulled out a massive hammer engraved with the character "benevolence" from who knows where. Two heavy strikes nearly shattered his old bones.

"Well, General, my mana is too weak. Perhaps you could ask His Majesty for instructions, and let His Majesty..."

Before he could finish, Nezha kicked the Earth God over. Of course, he hadn’t used much force; otherwise, the old man would’ve become "elder paste."

"With me here, why trouble the Great Venerable with sending reinforcements? Yang Chan! Come with me to exterminate the demon!"

After speaking, Nezha brought out the mini wood-splitting axe given to him by Jin Jiao and Silver Horn. He infused mana into it, and the axe grew larger and larger.

Gripping the axe handle, Nezha channeled the Power Dao and swung toward Taoshan. A colossal axe light connected heaven and earth, fiercely splitting Taoshan in half. All arrays and barriers were shattered, and the entire mountain was cleaved into two.

Nezha bellowed in rage, "Demon, where are you running!" and charged forward. Yang Chan followed closely behind.

Yang Jian reacted quickly, shouting, "Be careful, the demon is fierce! Uncle, Sister, I’ll assist you!"

With Taoshan cleaved in two, the Earth God was undoubtedly in a miserable state. But Nezha didn’t care—if there’s an issue, talk to Hao Tian!

The group entered the depths of Taoshan. At that moment, the area where Yaoji was located was shrouded in the Plain Cloud Realm Banner, completely unaffected by Nezha’s earlier strike.

Nezha glanced around. A soil-yellow pangolin nodded and burrowed into Nezha’s palm. He subsequently withdrew the Plain Cloud Realm Banner and covered the area with the Mountain and River Map.

Under Nezha’s hint, Yang Chan immediately put away her magical treasures and dove into Yaoji’s embrace, crying, "Mother!"

Yang Jian was also deeply moved, though his reserved personality wouldn’t allow him to express his emotions as Yang Chan did, especially with Nezha present.

Nevertheless, a smile appeared on his face, and his body instinctively drew closer to his mother and sister.

Watching the reunion of the family of three, Nezha felt genuinely delighted. He loved scenes of happy reunions—it made him wonder when he might get the chance to visit his own home.

Unlike Yang Jian’s shyness, Yaoji wasn’t embarrassed at all. Without hesitation, she embraced both her children, overwhelmed by emotion.

However, what intrigued her the most was her "son-in-law." While she doted on Yang Chan and Yang Jian, she kept eyeing Nezha—the way a mother-in-law gazes at her son-in-law with growing satisfaction.

She’d been in the mountains watching Nezha split the mountain for quite some time. She felt her "son-in-law" was both capable and shrewd—her daughter’s taste in men was leagues better than hers!

After doting on a tearful Yang Chan and an embarrassed Yang Jian, she turned her attention to Nezha and said, "You must be Chanchan’s husband, correct? Truly a fine young man, courageous and intelligent."

Nezha: "???"

Wait, Aunt suddenly turned into Mother-in-law?

Behind Yaoji, Yang Jian frantically signaled to his sister with his eyes. Though Yang Chan was momentarily stunned, she understood her brother’s intent immediately—they were siblings, after all, with excellent rapport.

Despite her embarrassment, Yang Chan promptly threw herself into Nezha’s arms, her softness pressing tightly against him, while she discreetly signaled at Nezha behind Yaoji’s back.

Nezha wasn’t foolish—such an obvious hint couldn’t be missed. But, wasn’t this just a little messy?

Watching Yang Chan’s tearful yet threatening demeanor, her arms gripping tightly around his waist, Nezha relented.

"Ah, um, it’s an honor, it’s an honor."

Seeing Nezha acknowledge this, Yaoji’s face lit up with a smile. "What a hero the young lad is! May I ask which family you belong to and who your relatives are?"

Is this the universal script of mother-in-laws through the ages?

Before Nezha could respond, Yang Chan turned around to interject, "Mother~ You’ve been confined here for hundreds of years. Even if Nezha told you, you wouldn’t know."

Ignoring Yang Chan, Yaoji pressed further, "When does my son-in-law plan to marry Chanchan? I believe sooner is better. Once your cultivation progresses further, it’ll be harder to have children."

Nezha: "..."

Even in the Primordial Era, do I still need to be urged to marry and have kids?

Yang Chan, her face burning with embarrassment, fled Nezha’s embrace and returned to Yaoji’s arms, desperately trying to silence her mother, fearing she might say something even more outrageous.

Being a young maiden, how could she bear it?

After another round of heartfelt reunions, Nezha felt it was about time to intervene. There are lines that shouldn’t be crossed—higher-ups were watching. Nezha’s status might protect him from blame, but testing boundaries was risky.

Though Yang Jian and Yang Chan were reluctant, they understood the importance of discretion.

Nezha left Yaoji some Peaches and Golden Cores given by Jin Jiao. While it wasn’t enough for Yaoji to advance her cultivation further, they could help her recover to her previous strength and restore her lifespan.

Nezha withdrew the Mountain and River Map, and the trio flew out of Taoshan’s bounds.

Nezha executed a hand gesture, and the previously shattered Taoshan emitted a series of rumbling sounds. After consuming the Golden Core refined with Houtu Essence Blood, his Earth Element Divine Power strengthened daily.

The mountain began to reform—rocks flew back to rebuild it, and the entire process played out as if reversed. The surface appeared identical to how it was before.

As for the interior?

How could Nezha, the "Primordial Engineer," let his "mother-in-law" suffer needlessly?

The inside of Taoshan had been completely cleared out by Nezha and transformed into a castle-like haven—a unique architectural marvel of the Primordial Era.

He then set up a powerful array, re-"imprisoned" Yaoji, and discreetly handed three special passes to Yang Jian.

Yang Jian accepted them gratefully, carefully storing them away without giving one to Yang Chan.

He felt Yang Chan was still too immature, fearing she might cause trouble again.
