Li Qingming stood stunned for a while, then turned to Houtu and said, "Sister, I still need to settle these millions of humans and have no time to accompany you any longer!"
Houtu smiled sweetly, her beautiful eyes turning into crescents, and said, "Brother, please feel free to do as you wish. Such a great event has occurred, and I need to return to the Ancestral Witch Hall to discuss the details with our brothers!"
Li Qingming nodded, waved his hand, and took the millions of tribespeople into the Sleeve Universe, then nodded to Houtu. He didn't go to the Heavenly Court, instead headed directly toward the East Sea.
Watching the receding figure of Li Qingming, Houtu sighed softly, "Does Brother Qingming really care so little for Houtu?"
...
It took less than the time for a cup of tea for Li Qingming to arrive at the East Sea Coast.
