Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate reacted for a long time before continuing: "Goddess Nuwa, I know you respect living beings, but please also show some respect for us. If Sun Wukong does not cooperate with us, it could lead to failure in some of our plans."
Nuwa smiled faintly.
She countered Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate: "Why should Wukong cooperate with you?"
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate spoke as if it were only natural: "We do it for the Three Realms."
"But Wukong doesn't know that."
Nuwa continued.
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate was slightly taken aback, as he looked at Sun Wukong, seeming to realize the rationale.
They claimed to act for the Three Realms, but Sun Wukong wasn't a mind reader and couldn't just believe them.
"And do you think your schemes are correct?"
Nuwa continued to question.
"At least much stronger than theirs, right?"
Yuanshi Heavenly Venerate replied with pride.
He was quite confident in this regard.
"Not necessarily."
Nuwa smiled faintly.
