What is Niu Benben doing in the underworld?
The two old women he's leading are still alive; they don't look like they're here for reincarnation.
Li Ping'an was curious, but he didn't disturb Niu Benben. He just observed using the Cloud Mirror Technique, and after a while, he remembered that this place is where Houtu cultivates in solitude.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave,"
Li Ping'an stood up to say goodbye.
Houtu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, go ahead with your tasks. I usually have nothing important to do, just a bit bored occasionally."
Implying she too was looking for some amusement.
Li Ping'an waved with a smile and gracefully departed, not taking along this 'gossip-loving deity.'
He now possessed profound cultivation and astonishing escape techniques. After leaving the secret realm of the Samsara Disk, he slipped into the background and quietly followed behind Niu Benben and the two old women, watching their every move.
