Qingxian Hall

While the clone was traveling in all directions preparing to cause trouble, Di Xin's main body was not idle.

"Great King, Doctor Fei Zhong requests an audience."

"Announce him!"

"Your servant Fei Zhong pays his respects to the Great King."

Fei Zhong wore a look of suspicion. He had finally managed to stay home and behave himself for a few days, preparing to whip the demon race and seriously interrogate those alluring demonesses, thus making a small contribution to the Human Race.

As a result, just as he had taken off his pants, Di Xin's guards arrived.

Following that, he was brought into the palace...

"Rise."

Di Xin lifted an eyelid and pointed to a low table beside him:

"Sit. It's just the two of us, ruler and subject, here. Relax, there's no need to be formal."

"Yes!"

Seeing that Di Xin was already slightly tipsy, Fei Zhong was even more unsure of his intentions. While guessing in his heart, he walked to the low table and sat down. He decided to observe the situation first.

"Come, have a couple of drinks with me to relieve my vexation. Today, we shall not discuss state affairs."

Di Xin casually filled a wine cup, a troubled expression on his face, his brows furrowed as if he had some unspeakable difficulty.

"Come, drink this cup to the dregs!"

"Yes!"

Fei Zhong saw Di Xin's expression and understood in his heart that he definitely had another task to do.

After draining the cup, Fei Zhong refilled it and began to probe with a toast:

"Great King, the Star-Gathering Pavilion is supervised by the old Prime Minister Shang Rong, with You Hun assisting. Its construction speed is quite rapid, and it will certainly be completed before Grand Tutor Wen and General Kong Xuan return victoriously. I congratulate you, Great King, the worries of the foreign people will soon be eliminated!"

Was it because the Star-Gathering Pavilion was being built too slowly?

Or was it because he was afraid Kong Xuan could not "resist a million troops"?

Or was he afraid that this news would spread, causing the foreign people to rebel?

"I said we are not discussing state affairs today, Fei Zhong, you must punish yourself with a drink."

Di Xin laughed heartily, giving Fei Zhong the answer: Little brat, you got it all wrong. Don't try to guess my thoughts!

"The Great King's wine is too exquisite. Your servant is already drunk after one cup. I deserve punishment, I deserve punishment!"

Fei Zhong's mouth twitched. Seeing Di Xin's gaze, he immediately put on a smiling face, chuckled, and drank the cup dry, but his confusion only grew:

Not discussing state affairs? Are you asking me to accompany you to talk about romance? Don't you know I was at home preparing for romance, with my pants already off? You called me here and you're not even getting down to business?

"Great King, fine wine is good, but it cannot relieve sorrow. The country is prosperous and the people are at peace, the world is stable. The Great King should be happy."

"Alas! You've seen through me."

Di Xin sighed, picked up the wine cup and drank it dry, then pretended to say:

"A few days ago, I dreamt of a peerlessly beautiful woman. Her beauty was unparalleled, and since then, in my three palaces and six courtyards, no one has captured my interest.

My dear minister, do you have any way to help me? Hmm?"

Fine, the three palaces and six courtyards were all the previous Di Xin's women. He couldn't do the despicable thing of snatching Di Xin's body and then occupying his women. A son is different...

But he was in the palace. Di Xin's women had been confined for a month, and now each of them was like a beast released from its cage, each wanting to devour him. One came to pay respects today, another asked him to inspect her lingerie tomorrow, and the day after, someone jumped in while he was bathing...

This was nothing. With his past experiences and studies, he could handle all of this.

However, these women, each more cunning than the last, when they couldn't get Di Xin's physical body openly, they all started running to the imperial kitchen.

This one put deer antler in the dish, that one's soup needed thousands-year-old ginseng, and another dish required tiger penis for flavor...

If these were ordinary items, it would be fine. But how could the women in the harem not have powerful families behind them? Not enfeoffed territories?

Good heavens, now Chaoge city was like a madhouse. All sorts of potent and rare treasures were being sent into the palace and stuffed into the imperial kitchen in a flood!

The deer antler was from a deep mountain old demon, the ginseng was a thousand-year-old ginseng spirit, and the tiger penis was even more terrifying. A tiger demon that was close to becoming immortal was forcibly castrated by Jiang Wenhuan leading the strange and talented people in his manor...

With all these things together, even if Di Xin cultivated Blood Essence daily to digest the spiritual energy and medicinal power within, there was nothing he could do to strengthen a certain part!

Now, he had to fear Baldy Qiang coming to chop trees every day. So, he gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, hardened his heart, and set his sights on Daji.

Well, if it was a buy-one-get-one-free deal, and buying Daji came with a nine-tailed fox, that would be even better.

Fei Zhong looked up and saw the "a smile that all men understand" on Di Xin's face. In an instant, he felt revitalized.

This is a good job, this job has benefits!

"The Great King is the sovereign of ten thousand chariots, possessing the four seas, and has received the commendation of the Three Sovereigns. His virtue matches that of Yao and Shun. All that is in the world belongs to the Great King. What is it that he cannot obtain? This is not difficult at all.

Great King, you only need to issue a royal decree at the morning court tomorrow, ordering the four feudal lords: each commandery (that is, each Marquis and the two hundred feudal lords under his jurisdiction) to select one hundred beautiful women to fill the harem. Then, all the beauties in the world will be in your harem, and you can search at your leisure."

"Hahaha!"

Di Xin threw his head back and laughed, his palms excitedly slapping the table. Just as Fei Zhong, relieved, joined in the laughter, Di Xin's expression suddenly turned fierce. With a single blow, he smashed the jade table in two.

"Fei Zhong, do you take me for a king blinded by lust!"

Flatterers should be kept in check from time to time, otherwise... they get too full of themselves.

"Great King! Fei Zhong wouldn't dare! Great King!"

Fei Zhong flinched, scrambling away from the table and kneeling before Di Xin, his face a mask of fear and confusion.

Isn't that what you meant? Or am I not flattering you enough?

Great King, you've changed!

"Hmph! Get up."

Di Xin was pleased with Fei Zhong's reaction and wanted to continue playing, but this task still needed to be done by Fei Zhong, who would take the blame. It wouldn't be good to break him now.

"In my dream, I saw that woman standing atop the walls of Jizhou City, gazing towards Chaoge, calling herself: Daji. If this is truly a destined match, then she must be from Jizhou. Ride like the wind to Jizhou and find her for me.

If you find her, this matter will be dropped; if you fail, hmph! Both crimes will be punished! Bring her head to me!"

"Yes!"

Fei Zhong bowed deeply, tears welling up in his eyes.

It was just finding someone, why didn't you say so earlier! Did you have to mess with me like this?

Being a treacherous official is getting harder and harder! You Hun, my good brother, hurry up and do the work, I'll give you this position.

"Come, let's continue drinking. After saying that, I suddenly feel much more relaxed."

Di Xin raised his cup and smiled. He trusted Fei Zhong's abilities to handle Su Hu and bring the legendary Daji back to him.

However, which side would the Nine-tailed fox lean towards this time?

If Nuwa Palace completely angered Zhunti, would it cause this Shang-Zhou transformation to take a different direction?

Changing the great trend with small alterations, perhaps the general trend could also be changed.
