Taking Houtu and Xuanming to the Banquet

After some consideration, Bai Ze gave his reply:

"Your Heavenly Emperor, I believe it is the right thing to do."

"Heavenly Emperor, if your relationship with Fellow Xihe succeeds..."

"Cough cough!"

Di Jun coughed, interrupting Bai Ze, and said:

"Bai Ze, you can remove the word 'if'!"

Di Jun felt that if these two words were unlucky, they didn't quite fit his situation with Xihe.

"Bai Ze congratulates the Heavenly Emperor on winning the heart of his goddess!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze quickly bowed to Di Jun to offer his congratulations. Di Jun gestured for him to dispense with the formalities and continued speaking.

"Heavenly Emperor, as far as I know, since the beginning of time, no Innate Divine Beast Innate Deity in the entire Primordial World has ever married. You and Fellow Xihe are the first."

"Once Heavenly Marriage is established by the Empress Nuwa as a celestial union, it will surely bring Merit and Fortune."

Bai Ze analyzed this matter for a long time before he dared to be so certain.

"Heavenly Emperor, if we go to Bai Chen to Heavenly Marriage, he will definitely ask us for benefits."

Since the value of the Heavenly Marriage Merit cannot be determined at present, in order to avoid excessive losses, we can promise Bai Chen that we will share some of the Heavenly Marriage Merit with him."

Bai Ze blurted out all his thoughts in one breath.

"Hahaha!"

"Bai Ze, it is my great fortune to have your help!"

Upon hearing this, Di Jun burst into laughter. Sure enough, Bai Ze, the real strategist, was much more useful than Fuxi, the quack strategist.

Look at Bai Ze's analysis and considerations.

After discussing it, Di Jun and Bai Ze went to the Wa Saint Palace to consult with Bai Chen.

Outside the Wa Saint Palace...

Di Jun, the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Clan, and Bai Ze, the leader of the Ten Great Demon Sages, were currently being blocked at the door by the gatekeepers Biyun and Caiyun.

Although Di Jun and Bai Ze were furious, they dared not vent their anger.

It is true that Biyun and Caiyun are gatekeepers, but they are gatekeepers of the Wa Saint Palace, disciples of the saint Nuwa.

"Great God Di Jun, Great God Bai Chen said you can go in, but Bai Ze is not allowed to go in."

Biyun conveyed Bai Chen's meaning. Bai Chen knew the purpose of Di Jun and Bai Ze's visit, and it wanted to prevent Bai Ze, who was intelligent, from ruining its plans.

So it had Biyun and Caiyun keep Bai Ze outside the Wa Saint Palace, only letting Di Jun in.

"Heavenly Emperor, remember my words, and do not agree to anything else."

When Bai Ze saw that Bai Chen wouldn't let him enter the Wa Saint Palace, he immediately guessed Bai Chen's intentions. That's why he repeatedly reminded Di Jun to avoid being tricked by Bai Chen again.

"Um!"

Di Jun responded and then entered the Wa Saint Palace.

In the Zu Fei Palace, Bai Chen lay on his newly acquired rocking chair. Seeing Di Jun arrive, he crossed his legs and said:

"Di Jun, I thought you'd have to wait a while, but I didn't expect you to arrive so early!"

Bai Chen knew that Di Jun would come looking for her, but she didn't expect Di Jun to have such poor patience.

"Tell me, what good things are you planning to offer this great god in exchange for Heavenly Marriage?"

"If you're planning to try and fob me off with trash, then don't say anything more, you can get lost."

Bai Chen laid his cards on the table; since the other party had come to him, they had obviously prepared their bargaining chips.

Bai Chen, the Great God Bai Chen Great God Bai Chen, has no time to waste with Di Jun; his time is very limited.

Bai Chen's directness caught Di Jun completely off guard.

After regaining his senses, Di Jun quickly recounted what Bai Ze had told him:

"Bai Chen, I will use one-tenth of the merit from the Heavenly Marriage as a reward."

"As long as you persuade the Empress Nuwa to establish this emperor and Xihe as a Heavenly Marriage, that entire Merit and Fortune will be yours!"

Di Jun's move caught Bai Chen completely off guard.

"I'll consider it!"

Its initial goal was to obtain the Innate Spiritual Root, the Undying Moon Laurel, from Xihe, but it wasn't impossible for Di Jun to use the Merit and Fortune of their Heavenly Marriage to settle the debt.

"Di Jun, this great god desires 30% of the merit from the Heavenly Marriage."

Bai Chen thought for a moment and then held up three fingers.

Bai Chen felt he wasn't greedy; he only wanted this amount.

In fact, Bai Chen was afraid that if she asked for too much, Di Jun wouldn't be able to afford it.

There's no way around it; Nuwa is also among those who have to share in this merit.

Bai Chen didn't know how much Nuwa would take, so it really didn't dare to ask for more.

"Bai Chen, at most 20%!"

Di Jun slashed Bai Chen with his knife, feeling that the cat was asking for too much.

"Either you gain 30% of the merit from the Heavenly Marriage, or you give me the Undying Moon Laurel in Xihe's hands, or you get out of here!"

Bai Chen didn't give Di Jun a chance to bargain at all. Did he really think this was a vegetable market where he was begging Great God Bai Chen to buy things?

If it weren't for the fact that I, Great God Bai Chen, am reasonable and moral, I would have already put the Heaven Measuring Ruler on the neck of this three-legged crow.

"Very well, Bai Chen, I agree to grant you 30% of the merit from the Heavenly Marriage!"

After weighing the pros and cons, Di Jun finally agreed.

"Make a vow to guarantee it."

Bai Chen didn't believe Di Jun's deceptive words; it only believed in oaths. After all, what if the other party went back on their word?

"By the grace of Heaven, I, Di Jun, hereby swear..."

Left with no other choice, Di Jun could only make a solemn vow and promise to Bai Chen.

"You can get lost now. Go back and make arrangements. This great god will go and tell Nuwa."

After Di Jun made his vow, Bai Chen waved his paw, signaling the other party to get lost.

After all, if the other party doesn't leave, are they expecting Great God Bai Chen, to treat them to dinner?

"Heavenly Emperor, it's done?"

Bai Ze, who was outside the Wa Saint Palace, saw Di Jun come out and tentatively asked him a question.

Since it took less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea for Di Jun to come out, Bai Ze strongly suspected that the negotiations had fallen through.

"Um!"

Di Jun nodded and then told Bai Ze what had happened inside.

"Heavenly Emperor, you've given too much!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze immediately felt a headache coming on.

Bai Ze wanted to know what Di Jun was thinking, that he dared to agree to give Bai Chen 30 Heavenly Marriage Merit and Fortune.

"Bai Ze, even if you give that cat 30 Heavenly Marriage Merit, Xihe and I will still have 70% of the Heavenly Marriage Merit."

Although Di Jun also felt that Bai Chen was asking for too much, he figured that with 70% left, he could accept it.

"Heavenly Emperor, the Empress Nuwa used the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Red Embroidered Ball, to establish a Heavenly Marriage. She must want a share of it too!"

Bai Ze was speechless. It turned out that Di Jun had forgotten about Nuwa.

"Bai Ze, Empress Nuwa probably won't get much, right?"

After Bai Ze's reminder, Di Jun suddenly realized that he was now a little scared too.

"We can only hope!"

Bai Ze outwardly Di Jun, but inwardly he chuckled.

He estimated that after Nuwa and Bai Chen divided the merits, there probably wouldn't be much left from the Heavenly Marriage.

It's better to have leftovers than nothing at all.

As for going to Bai Chen to back out?

Hehehe!

Putting aside the fact that Di Jun made a vow, just the fact that Di Jun dared to go to Bai Chen to renege on his promise, given that cat's temperament, would definitely call for Nuwa to beat Di Jun.

The main hall of the Wa Saint Palace...

Nuwa watched as Bai Chen swaggered towards her with his claws, and said in an annoyed tone:

"Little White, you're quite something! You get 30% of the Heavenly Marriage Merit without doing anything?"

Nuwa already knew about Di Jun's arrival and was keeping an eye on the deal between Bai Chen Di Jun.

"Nuwa, this is what I, the great goddess, deserve!"

Bai Chen was quite self-righteous, and immediately ordered Nuwa to issue Imperial Decree.

Nuwa issued a sacred Imperial Decree, proclaiming to the Primordial World:

" By the Wa Saint Edict, in accordance with the Great Dao's Destiny, Di Jun and Xihe shall marry, completing their Heavenly Marriage..."

As time passed, the demon race had almost finished handling the arrangements for Di Jun's Heavenly Marriage.

Now all that's left is sending out invitations to invite those who will be attending the banquet.

In the Primordial World, delivering invitations was a skill in itself. For the sacred sites of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Nuwa and Jieyin and Zhunti, invitations had to be personally delivered by Di Jun and Xihe.
