Heavenly Emperor Fuxi was even more sensible than he had imagined. If Heavenly Emperor Fuxi had not known what was good for him, he would not have minded replacing him.
Fortunately, he had been sensible.
Since Heavenly Emperor Fuxi was so sensible, Hun Xiu had no need to replace him. Replacing a Heavenly Emperor would not have been troublesome, but with the current Heavenly Emperor Fuxi being so obedient, why bother? Was he supposed to make trouble for himself?
Hun Xiu said, "Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, you know what is good for you. You should be glad you agreed to my terms. If you had refused, I would not have minded replacing the Heavenly Emperor."
The corners of Hun Xiu's lips curled upward in an evil smile. Everything about him told Heavenly Emperor Fuxi that Hun Xiu was not joking.
He truly had intended to replace Heavenly Emperor Fuxi. Unfortunately, Heavenly Emperor Fuxi had been so obedient that he had no choice but to abandon the idea.
At those words, a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on Heavenly Emperor Fuxi's forehead. He wiped it away, feeling immensely relieved.
It was fortunate that he had agreed. If he had not, even his position as Heavenly Emperor might not have been secure.
Heavenly Emperor Fuxi looked up at his throne again, only to find that Hun Xiu had long since vanished from it.
Hun Xiu had left, disappearing without a trace.
Heavenly Emperor Fuxi swept his gaze around the divine hall, hoping to find Hun Xiu, but his search ended in failure.
Hun Xiu was already gone from the divine hall. He had arrived suddenly and vanished just as suddenly, without a trace.
Heavenly Emperor Fuxi wiped the cold sweat from his brow. He felt as though he had survived a calamity.
