Strange Sight

"Alright! It's you two!"

"Senior Aunt, what do you need us for?"

Zhu Wushuang and Xiang Wuchen looked at Our Lady of Wudang in confusion, wondering what their Senior Aunt wanted them for.

"Follow me, the Sect Leader wants to see you."

Our Lady of Wudang walked ahead, with the two of them following behind, "Dong, dong..."

Four neat rows of holes were left on the ground.

"Master, the people have arrived. These two are blessed with great fortune."

Tongtian, sitting cross-legged on a large cloud, slightly opened his eyes upon hearing Wudang's voice.

"Greetings, Sect Leader."

The two knelt below, looking at Tongtian with admiration.

Tongtian calculated with his fingers and found that these two were indeed blessed with great fortune, "Very good."

Huh?

Tongtian was only focused on their fortune just now, but when he carefully examined the two, he was a little dumbfounded.

Just this?

Stuff them into Zhou Wang's harem? Would that work? Would Zhou Wang even want them?

"Speak standing up."

The two stood up, towering over Tongtian sitting on the cloud. Tongtian had to look up at them.

"Yes, Sect Leader."

Tongtian pondered for a moment, "Are you two proficient in the art of transformation?"

"Naturally, we are proficient."

"Can... can you two transform to be more beautiful?"

Zhu Wushuang pouted, her two nostrils turned upwards. Tongtian was displeased. Why is this child glaring at me with her nostrils?

"Sect Leader, I think my current form is very beautiful!"

"Indeed..." Xiang Wuchen also agreed with Zhu Wushuang. They were both beauties in their clan, with countless suitors.

"It's not bad, but a bit too large, not in line with the human race's aesthetics. How about this, you two transform to be smaller?" Tongtian was quite persistent in his heart.

"Yes, Sect Leader!"

Although unwilling, they obeyed the Sect Leader's words. The two slowly shrunk, eventually becoming like human women, but their appearance was still not very attractive.

"I told you to transform to be more beautiful! Don't you know what beautiful means!!" Tongtian roared in anger. These two were really clueless. Sure enough, Uncle was right, as dumb as pigs! So that's how this saying is used!

Our Lady of Wudang fell silent, seeing her master's anger, she quickly said, "Before, when you went down the mountain to patrol, the appearance of those... women in brothels..."

"Yes..."

Their faces flickered for a moment, finally settling into a passable appearance.

"Alright, I have something to instruct you. Now that my Golden Ao Island is closed off, the killing tribulation still exists, which is not a good strategy. The Great Shang's fortune is connected to the Intercept Sect. You two should take the lead, go to the Great Shang, enter the harem, and assist Zhou Wang, urging him to diligently govern the Great Shang."

"Yes, Master."

Tongtian then made arrangements, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "You two, follow me."

He felt it would be better to show Wang Yuan. His uncle knew about matters beyond the Heavenly Dao and might have a good plan. However, he gave a command that they must not reveal his identity, and then led a pig and an elephant towards the Immortal Mountain.

Meanwhile, in Zhao Ge, ever since the incense offering, Zhou Wang had felt confused. Sometimes, the image of Nüwa would appear in his mind.

"Your Majesty, I always see you looking unwell. Are you perhaps ill?" Imperial Uncle Bi Gan asked with some concern.

Zhou Wang waved his hand. "Imperial Uncle, I don't know why, but lately I've been feeling dizzy and having hallucinations..."

Bi Gan admired this king from the bottom of his heart. Zhou Wang had not been on the throne for long, but he had implemented new policies, making the Great Shang prosperous and strong. He could truly be considered a wise ruler.

"Should we call the imperial physician to take a look?"

Zhou Wang shook his head. "Imperial Uncle, I have the ability to replace pillars and some supernatural powers. My body is fine, but I just feel mentally exhausted, probably because I've been too tired lately."

Bi Gan sighed. "Alas, Your Majesty is too overworked. I heard that Your Majesty has not visited the harem for a long time. Although the Great Shang already has imperial heirs, the late emperor entrusted us to ensure the continuation of the imperial line. Why not... take in a few more imperial consorts?"

Zhou Wang waved his hand. "I have no desire to linger in the harem. The feudal lords are restless, and the Eastern Barbarians are constantly harassing the borders. Those barbarians, sooner or later I will kill them all!"

He spoke with murderous intent at the end. The Eastern Barbarians disturbed the borders every autumn, robbing grain and killing people. The feudal lords in various places were also disobedient, refusing to use their own troops. These matters made Zhou Wang's head ache. It seemed that implementing new policies was imperative. Only by holding the power of the world in his hands could he find the right path.

Bi Gan nodded. "Although conquering the barbarians is a major national affair, having offspring is also important. This matter... leave it to this old minister."

Zhou Wang waved his hand. "As Imperial Uncle wishes."

Bi Gan returned, and the next day at the early court, Zhou Wang, wearing a white dragon robe (the specific color is unclear, there is no record, but the Great Zhou was of the fire virtue, promoting red dragon robes, so analyzing it, the Great Shang should be of the metal virtue, and the metal virtue is white), wearing a mianliu, looked down below. "Under my implementation of new policies, those who do not administer the decrees shall be punished."

After saying this murderous sentence, the people below fell silent. Was the king angry?

"The Chong Ye is Mu Hua, guarding the southern wood, failing to administer the decrees. Guards, tear him apart by chariot!"

The palace guards had already received the king's order. Upon hearing the command, they immediately pressed a man in his forties to the ground.

"Your Majesty, spare me! Your Majesty, spare me!"

Mu Hua knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.

The other ministers did not dare to plead for Mu Hua. "Drag him away!"

Outside the Meridian Gate, five carriages were already prepared. After Mu Hua was bound, he was torn into pieces by the chariots.

At this time, Zhou Wang said, "Those who obstruct the new policies will meet such an end."

"Your Majesty is wise..."

The ministers knelt down.

At this time, Bi Gan stood out and said, "It has been some time since Your Majesty entered the harem. We ministers feel ashamed that Your Majesty is burdened with national affairs... Does anyone have a candidate to share Your Majesty's worries?"

As soon as he said this, Zhou Wang frowned and shook his head. His old imperial uncle was really something, insisting on mentioning this matter. How could he have the mind for it?

But he couldn't say anything else; after all, he was the old Imperial Uncle, and he had to give him some face.

The crowd was slightly stunned. They knew who Zhou Wang was. Although he had a harem, Zhou Wang didn't linger there; in fact, it could be said that he rarely went to the harem.

Many people immediately understood and started talking about it.

"Your Majesty, I have a daughter, sixteen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, who can be offered to Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, I have two at home, both are..."

The people below felt that this was a good opportunity and stood up one after another, claiming how beautiful their daughters were and how pretty their nieces were!

Zhou Wang stared blankly at the ministers below, who were arguing red-faced. In fact, he knew what they were thinking, nothing more than wanting to marry him and consolidate their positions.

But do you still have any shame?

Some of you are so ugly, how can you give birth to beautiful daughters with your looks?

Even if there are pretty girls, they must have been born after your wives cheated, right?

Zhou Wang was annoyed by what he heard, "Enough! This matter will be discussed later!"

He slammed the table, and the people below were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak anymore.
