She was fuming with rage, completely disregarding her image as she cursed: "You little brat, come out! Aren't you here to subdue demons and eradicate evil? Get over here!"

Hiding inside the Mountain and River Map, Nezha listened to No-Life Old Mother rant for ages. He couldn't help but think that her vocabulary was truly too refined—all those "little brat," "little bastard," "scoundrel," "rascal," and so on were utterly devoid of any real impact!

Hmm, coupled with her stunning appearance, it wouldn't be a stretch to say some people might actually enjoy this kind of abuse.

Having watched her perform for quite a while, Nezha thought she must be getting tired. Stretching out his hand, he grabbed Qiongqi from his sleeve. Poor Qiongqi, who had been sound asleep, was bewildered as Nezha seized the scruff of its neck—the very grip of destiny.

Aiming directly at No-Life Old Mother, Nezha kicked Qiongqi in the rear, launching the Qiongqi-brand missile straight toward the target. Though Qiongqi was still dazed and confused, its instinct as a fierce beast kicked in, and its immediate reaction was to open its massive jaws to take a bite.

Unfortunately for Qiongqi, No-Life Old Mother was on high alert, her vigilance cranked up to maximum. At this point, even a passing dog wouldn't be spared a kick, let alone a pet unleashed by Nezha.

Before Qiongqi could unleash its ferocity, No-Life Old Mother's overwhelming mana came crashing down, crushing it completely. Its death was absolutely tragic, but Nezha inside the Mountain and River Map didn't feel even a shred of pity. After all, this thing couldn't truly die. Given the abundance of hostility outside, Qiongqi would simply resurrect in no time.

As expected, with the human clan's rampant hostility as sustenance, Qiongqi grew even stronger upon rebirth within the Hongmeng World. Reborn, it roared furiously at No-Life Old Mother.

"Grrrr…"

Before it could finish its terrifying growl, the oppressive mana swept over once again, and Qiongqi was promptly sent back to the grave.

Qiongqi, ever resilient, quickly absorbed the endless hostility and resurrected once more. This time, it didn't even manage a whimper before the enraged No-Life Old Mother smacked it back to death.

No-Life Old Mother was absolutely livid—what kind of hapless bastard was this? Didn't have the guts to come out himself but instead sent a dog to toy with her!

Qiongqi resurrected yet again, only to be swatted dead once more. It wasn't that the beast had some sort of masochistic fetish or enjoyed being repeatedly killed. The hostility suffused throughout the sealed Hongmeng World was plentiful, and until it was entirely depleted, Qiongqi had no choice but to continuously revive.

After being killed dozens of times in a row, even Qiongqi was left speechless. "Big sis, cut me some slack! I'm just a fake dog; a real dog would've long gone into hiding!"

No-Life Old Mother, unable to deal with the heavily protected Nezha and his trove of magical treasures, redirected her fury entirely onto Qiongqi. Her reasoning was roughly, "If I can't hit you, I can certainly hit your dog!"

On the verge of exploding with rage, No-Life Old Mother treated Qiongqi like a mere punching bag. Killing it repeatedly while chanting Nezha's name, she resembled a deranged and vengeful woman scorned by a rotten man.

At this moment, Nezha remembered Taiyuan Saint Mother's instructions to exploit her weakest point. Shouting from within the Mountain and River Map, he taunted: "You old hag, only bullying a dog—what kind of skill is that? If you've got any guts, come fight me instead!"

"Old hag this irritable, is your menopause coming early or what?"

"Old hag always wanting to be everyone's mother—could it be because your own 'lights went out' and you can't produce offspring anymore?"

Nezha truly deserved a title as the master of human behavior. With just three sentences, he ensured No-Life Old Mother would curse him for ten thousand years. Many of the terms he used were unfamiliar to someone of her era, but at her level as a Quasi-Saint, such words posed no barrier to her understanding.

Can immortals die from anger?

No-Life Old Mother could tell you definitively that they cannot. Otherwise, she would've already died on the spot. She was so enraged that her divine soul began to falter, fluctuating wildly as though it was about to burst out of her body!

"You bastard! I'm going to camp here and wait for you forever!"

After yelling this, the hysterical No-Life Old Mother began indiscriminately releasing her Quasi-Saint-level mana, unleashing rampant destruction on everything around her in an attempt to force Nezha out.

Yet the Mountain and River Map, being a treasure Nuwa used to prove the Dao, didn't possess the sheer offensive power of artifacts like the Qingping Sword, but its utility was unrivaled. Safe within its confines, Nezha was entirely unaffected by No-Life Old Mother's fury, and even had the luxury to enjoy a couple of drinks.

No-Life Old Mother eventually exhausted herself, gasping for breath. Even a Quasi-Saint's mana isn't infinite. Qiongqi, having been slaughtered dozens more times, was now noticeably slower at regenerating.

Just as No-Life Old Mother's mana ran dry and her body began to feel worn out, a golden handkerchief descended from the heavens. Recognizing the object instantly, her pupils shrank as she prepared to flee. But Taiyuan Jade Girl wouldn't have waited this long without absolute certainty of success before taking action.

Though No-Life Old Mother tried her hardest to escape, there was a brief moment where her mana failed to keep up. Taiyuan Jade Girl swiftly formed a Dharma Seal and trapped her inside the golden handkerchief. The once-arrogant No-Life Old Mother finally met her comeuppance.

Gripping the golden handkerchief, Taiyuan Jade Girl shook her head with a sigh. She and her main body had poured their strength into maintaining the suppression array, which left her unable to deal with No-Life Old Mother effectively. Earlier, Nezha's flashy attack had forced her to turn away and stabilize the array's core—the reason she had waited until now to act.

She unleashed several Dharma Seals, sending the golden handkerchief shooting away as radiant light.

She genuinely felt the urge to ridicule Nezha: "And you call that polite? Your insults were downright filthy!"

But regardless, everything had finally reached perfection. By reclaiming this avatar, Taiyuan Saint Mother's primordial energy would recover significantly, and things would start to look up again.

"Little friend, you can come out now. No-Life has been sent to the array's core to be suppressed by my main body."
