Beating Up the Dog-Headed Strategist

Enraged, Di Jun, after being imprisoned by Eastern Emperor Taiyi, roared:

"Taiyi, don't stop me! Today I'm going to smash Fuxi's dog head in!"

Di Jun felt that Eastern Emperor Taiyi was also being unreasonable. Not only did he not help him fight against Fuxi, that scoundrel of a strategist, but he also tried to stop him and ruin his plans.

After Bai Ze escaped, he quickly went to Di Jun's side and advised him:

"Your Heavenly Emperor, please calm your anger! This was all Bai Chen's scheme!"

When Bai Ze was admonishing Di Jun, he also gave Fuxi a meaningful look.

Although Fuxi was a cunning strategist, he was still a strategist, and immediately understood Bai Ze's meaning. Following his lead, he said:

"Your Heavenly Emperor, Bai Ze is right. This is definitely Bai Chen's counterattack against us."

Although Fuxi had no evidence, his intuition told him that this Imperial Decree from the sage was forced upon his sister Nuwa by Bai Chen throwing a tantrum on the ground.

Otherwise, her own sister Nuwa would never have randomly arranged marriages and issued such a sacred Imperial Decree.

"Your Heavenly Emperor, rest assured, I will definitely make my sister retract this Imperial Decree and cancel the marriage between Bai Chen Xihe Fellow Daoist Xihe!"

To calm Di Jun down, Fuxi immediately patted his chest and promised to handle the matter.

"Snort!"

Di Jun snorted coldly; he would never believe Fuxi, that scoundrel of a strategist, again.

"Bai Ze, what do you think?"

Di Jun turned his gaze to Bai Ze, feeling that Bai Ze was the more reliable one.

I should have listened to Bai Ze's advice instead of Fuxi, that scoundrel of a strategist; things wouldn't have turned out this way.

If Fuxi weren't Nuwa's brother, he would have long ago used the Hetu Luoshu to summon the Primordial Chaos Luo Great Array and annihilate this treacherous strategist.

"Heavenly Emperor, since the Empress Nuwa has issued a sacred Imperial Decree, she will not easily retract it."

Even though Xi Huang was Empress Nuwa's brother, he probably couldn't persuade Empress Nuwa to retract her Imperial Decree!

Bai Ze felt that if they wanted to change this situation, they couldn't rely on Fuxi; if Fuxi did, it would be completely hopeless.

"Bai Ze, I have my own way of making my sister retract the Imperial Decree!"

Fuxi was very displeased after being rejected by Bai Ze.

As Nuwa's brother, if he can't handle this, who can?

"Fuxi, shut your mouth!"

"If you had the ability, this Imperial Decree from Empress Nuwa wouldn't have been issued to Fellow Daoist Xihe and the others, but to the Queen Mother of the West!"

Di Jun glared fiercely at Fuxi, that scoundrel of a strategist, and ruthlessly exposed his true colors.

The ship of friendship had completely capsized, so Di Jun did not give Fuxi any face.

The Taiyin Three Sisters now understand the situation. It turns out that the culprit behind all this was Fuxi treacherous Fuxi, and the three sisters had been scapegoated by the Queen Mother of the West.

"Bai Ze, do you have a way to get Empress Nuwa to retract this Imperial Decree?"

Di Jun knew that he couldn't rely on Fuxi, that scoundrel of a strategist. He was already being kind by not giving him bad advice. Now, the only person he could rely on was Bai Ze.

Di Jun hoped that Bai Ze, his strategist and advisor, could help him come up with a plan to break the deadlock.

"Have!"

Bai Ze nodded and then said:

"Your Heavenly Emperor, I have a method, but it may come at a considerable price!"

Bai Ze knew that this matter had escalated significantly; it was no longer a minor skirmish as before.

The previous minor skirmishes could be easily resolved by drawing some blood.

Bai Ze estimated that Di Jun would have to sacrifice at least a significant amount of money to resolve the situation.

"Speak quickly, and I will pay any price!"

Di Jun urged Bai Ze, not caring what the price might be.

All he wants now is for Nuwa to retract the sacred Imperial Decree and cancel Bai Chen's marriage to the Taiyin Three Sisters; if that's not possible, canceling Xihe's marriage would also be acceptable.

Da Bu would rather acknowledge Bai Chen as his brother-in-law and give him a generous wedding gift at the wedding of Chang Xi, Wang Shu, and Bai Chen.

"Heavenly Emperor, if we want Empress Nuwa to rescind the Sage's Imperial Decree, we must first have Bai Chen persuade Nuwa, and second, go to the Purple Cloud Palace to seek the Dao Ancestor's advice."

Bai Ze shared his two proposed methods, and Di Jun pondered them thoughtfully.

"Heavenly Emperor, seeking the Dao Ancestor's help should only be done as a last resort, and absolutely not."

This method is not guaranteed to succeed and will also completely offend the Empress Nuwa.

Even if we manage to get Empress Nuwa to retract the imperial Imperial Decree, we will still face Empress Nuwa endless wrath, and we will surely face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death."

To prevent Di Jun from making the wrong choice, Bai Ze quickly explained the seriousness of going to Dao Ancestor Hongjun to accuse Nuwa.

"Bai Ze, do you mean we have no choice but to find Bai Chen?"

Because Di Jun had been tricked by Bai Chen too many times before—that cat was greedy, deceitful, and dishonest—he really didn't want to look for Bai Chen.

"Heavenly Emperor, Xi Huang, you plotted against Bai Chen first. As long as you apologize to it and offer enough benefits to sway it, you can persuade it to ask Empress Nuwa to rescind the Imperial Decree of the Sage."

"This is currently the least risky and safest method."

According to Bai Ze's analysis, Bai Chen's actions of having Nuwa issue Imperial Decree to marry the Taiyin Three Sisters and inciting Taiyin Three Sisters to cause trouble in the Heavenly Court were all intended to make Di Jun and Fuxi admit their mistakes, thereby allowing him to exploit them.

"Bai Ze, you're going to go and apologize to that Evil Cat Bai Chen, but I'm not going!"

Upon hearing that he was to go find Bai Chen and apologize to him, Fuxi immediately said he would quit.

For his elder brother, the sage Fuxi, to have to apologize to a Pet Beast is an utter disgrace.

Given that Evil Cat's nature, if I were to admit my mistake, who knows how much more it would humiliate me.

No sooner had Fuxi expressed his opinion than Di Jun roared angrily:

"Fuxi, you must go. You were the mastermind behind finding a Daoist partner for Bai Chen."

All this trouble started because of you, Fuxi, and it has implicated fellow Daoist Xihe and the others."

Even Di Jun, an accomplice, didn't say anything, yet Fuxi, the mastermind and culprit, dared to say no.

The question is, does Fuxi want the head of this cunning strategist?

"Let's go to the Wa Saint Palace to find Bai Chen!"

Di Jun immediately declared that he would go to Bai Chen, even if it meant sacrificing his own flesh, to make the cat go to Nuwa to retract the Sage's Imperial Decree.

After seeing that Di Jun had made his choice, Bai Ze stopped him and shouted:

"Bai Chen, show yourself!"

Although Bai Ze did not sense any presence from Bai Chen, his intuition told him that Bai Chen was in the Heavenly Court, observing everything here.

But after Bai Ze finished speaking, there was no sound for a long time, let alone a cat appearing.

"Bai Ze, Bai Chen doesn't have the guts to stay here?"

When Fuxi saw that Bai Ze had guessed wrong, he mocked him in an annoyed manner.

"Your Heavenly Emperor, Bai Chen is likely observing from the shadows, but he is unwilling to reveal himself."

Embarrassed, Bai Ze could only explain to Di Jun, hoping the other party would believe him.

"Bai Ze, I believe you!"

Di Jun decisively chose to believe Bai Ze. At this moment, Eastern Emperor Taiyi also spoke up:

"Brother, something unusual happened just now, and I only noticed it through the Chaos Bell."

"There was indeed a creature watching from the shadows just now, but after Bai Ze pointed it out, it seemed to have run away. It's very likely that the creature was Bai Chen."

Eastern Emperor Taiyi estimated that among those who had attained enlightenment in the Primordial World, very few possessed such methods, and Bai Chen, with the Jade Disk of Creation, certainly had this ability.

With Eastern Emperor Taiyi speaking up for Bai Ze, the strategist Fuxi was once again proven wrong.

Di Jun glanced at Fuxi and thought to himself, "Sure enough, you can't trust this strategist's words. He's rarely reliable."

"Bai Ze, what do you think?"

Di Jun was a little puzzled. Since Bai Chen had been observing from the shadows, the Evil Cat should have known his attitude. Why didn't the Evil Cat jump out to ask for benefits, but instead turned around and ran away?

"Heavenly Emperor, Bai Chen is putting on airs. He feels it's beneath him to show himself to us; he wants to ask us for more benefits."

Having fought Bai Chen so many times, Bai Ze had probably figured out his personality.

If that cat had jumped out and shown itself earlier, things would have been fine. But now that it's run away and unwilling to show itself, it's clear this situation is really difficult to handle.

Wa Saint Palace...

After returning from the Heavenly Court, Bai Chen gave a few instructions to Biyun Caiyun, who were in charge of closing the gate, and then went to the main hall to see Nuwa.

Bai Chen onto Nuwa's shoulder, playing with the strands of hair by her ear, and said:

"Nuwa, this great goddess is telling you that when the three sisters Xihe slaughtered demons at the South Heaven Gate, Bai Ze and the others actually stood by and did nothing."

Bai Chen was very dissatisfied with the behavior of Bai Ze and his companions when Bai Ze was watching the show in Heavenly Court.

If it weren't for Bai Ze and the other six Demon Saint stopping Di Jun and buying time for Fuxi, Fuxi's dog head might have been smashed to pieces by Di Jun.

"Bad Cat, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Nuwa gestured to Bai Chen to stop wasting time beating around the bush; they were all family, and this cat was trying to pull all these tricks on everyone.

"Nuwa, have Bai Ze and the others raise the Monster Summoning Banner!"

Bai Chen felt that he couldn't be blamed for this. Since Bai Ze and the others were going to be Di Jun Great God Bai Chen's lackeys, they were his enemies.

Moreover, this isn't just Great God Bai Chen's idea; he's just saying it.

"Little White, isn't this a bad idea?"

Nuwa lifted Bai Chen off her shoulders, poked Bai Chen's chubby belly, and said something.

"Nuwa, stop pretending. We've known each other for countless ages. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"
