The Great Heavenly Venerate laughed and said, "Though he is a wolf at heart with wild ambitions, he has rendered great merit. If we do not grant him a reward, I fear he will grow cold-hearted and his disloyalty will only deepen."
The Queen Mother did not know what he intended, so she spoke a fair word and said, "The reward Your Majesty granted is indeed somewhat meager. Heavenly King Chen's merit is no small thing, and on top of that he bears the connection of Emperor Houtu Earth. To merely give him the title of Holy Master without any substantive benefit is truly hard to justify."
The Great Heavenly Venerate was just about to draft an edict to reward Chen Shi when he suddenly recalled something and said, "Heavenly King Chen's merit is great. Should his wife also be given some reward and title? As for this matter, it ought to be conferred by Zi Tong."
