Packing Up and Leaving

Chaoge.

As night fell, the Royal Palace was adorned with red and colorful decorations, with melodious music playing, creating a festive scene.

Today was the auspicious day King Zhou Di Xin was to officially bestow the title of Beauty Su, and the bridal chamber awaited.

However, the main character, Di Xin, was not in his chambers at this moment.

Uncharacteristically, he had abandoned Su Daji and came to Longde Hall alone, his face etched with worry.

"Alpaca... alpaca..."

Di Xin felt like crying but had no tears.

If he knew nothing about the history of the Investiture of the Gods, he would have been happy to grab his spear and take advantage of the situation.

After all, out of life's four great joys, he had hit two – drought ending and bridal chamber – all at once.

Unfortunately, as a transmigrator from an orphanage, he knew just how deep this pit was for Di Xin.

As the last Emperor of the Shang Dynasty, he was merely a pawn in a celestial war, a definite sacrifice in the calamity of the Investiture of the Gods.

In about twenty-odd years, his fated doom at Star Picking Tower would arrive.

Unsolvable!

It was completely unsolvable!

The Chan Sect, using the opportunity of suppressing the Human Emperor's destiny and reshuffling the Heavenly Court, had meticulously plotted against the Jie Sect.

And the point of conflict was chosen to be the war to destroy the Shang.

With so many Sages wanting him gone, Di Xin, as a transmigrator, felt powerless.

Moreover, he was certain that this world was the world of the Investiture of the Gods, not the real historical world.

Because, from the memories of the original host he had acquired, he clearly knew that the original Di Xin had indeed displayed his calligraphy at Nuwa Palace.

This directly angered Saint Nuwa, who then dispatched the Three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb to bring ruin to Cheng Tang.

The Beauty Su, who was now under the red veil in the bridal chamber, was no longer the original host but had become the thousand-year-old fox spirit among the Three Demons.

Speaking of which, they were both in the same line of work.

However, she had backing, while he did not.

The thought of having no backing made Di Xin's heart turn cold.

Even if he abandoned his throne and hid in the mountains and marshes, with their abilities, finding him would be a matter of minutes.

"Your Majesty, your concubine requests you return to your chambers to rest!"

Just as Di Xin was deep in thought, seeking a way to break free, a delicate voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

Su Daji!

Hearing the voice, Di Xin immediately guessed who it was.

After transmigrating, he had not met Daji face-to-face, but the original host's memories contained her voice.

During the wedding banquet of King Zhou, while temporarily resting due to drunkenness, he had unexpectedly taken over the body. Upon realizing his current predicament, he had come directly to this Longde Hall.

He hadn't expected that demon fox to find him here.

Before Di Xin could figure out how to deal with her, the hall door was pushed open, and with a waft of fragrance, a young woman in a vibrant dress gracefully walked in.

This woman had a voluptuous figure, a willow waist, almond eyes, rosy cheeks, and charming phoenix eyes, exuding a captivating allure – truly a peerless beauty.

Even Di Xin, who had seen countless women on a certain app in his previous life, couldn't help but feel his bones go soft and his heart race when his eyes met Daji's, experiencing an urge to pounce on her immediately.

No!

Di Xin's heart jolted. He wasn't a virgin anymore; he shouldn't be this lustful.

It must be that demon fox using her seductive arts to bewitch him.

"Your Majesty, please return to your chambers with your concubine!"

Daji seemed pleased with Di Xin's reaction. Without regard for the accompanying palace maids, she swayed her hips and moved closer.

Damn it! Di Xin almost got a nosebleed and quickly bit his tongue, regaining some clarity.

At the same time, he unexpectedly saw four options appear in his mind.

[Option One: Draw your sword and kill the thousand-year-old fox spirit Su Daji, eliminating future trouble. Completion Reward: High-grade Innate Spirit Treasure Drunken Immortal Bell]

[Option Two: Imprison the thousand-year-old fox spirit Su Daji in the cold palace, revoke her title of Beauty, and prevent her from causing trouble and corrupting the Yin Shang's destiny. Completion Reward: One High-grade Immortal Pill Nine Revolutions Universe Pill]

[Option Three: Play along and enter the bridal chamber with Su Daji. Completion Reward: Post-celestial Supreme Spirit Treasure Demon Slaying Sword]

[Option Four: Completely ignore Su Daji and walk away. Completion Reward: Cultivation directly advances to Refining Essence into Qi, transcending mortals and becoming a Qi Cultivator]

System?

Could this be the benefit of being a transmigrator?

Seeing these four options, Di Xin was overjoyed. This was clearly standard protagonist gear!

It seemed there was still hope!

Since the System had given four options, it seemed the most stable course of action was to choose one.

"Wait here!"

Di Xin suppressed the excitement in his heart and quickly said, turning away from Daji's gaze to examine the four options carefully.

The reward for the first option was definitely a bombshell.

Innate Spiritual Treasures were treasures born at the dawn of chaos, possessing primordial energy and boundless power.

They were extremely limited in number, even revered by the Sages. Any one of them could incite endless bloodshed.

If he could obtain one, it would undoubtedly be his trump card for a comeback.

But the problem was, with his mortal body, he couldn't use it at all right now.

Moreover, even though Daji appeared as a frail woman, she was still a demon who had cultivated for a thousand years. He definitely couldn't defeat her. Acting rashly would likely result in backlash.

Stepping back, even if he managed to kill her, Goddess Nuwa would surely react. At the very least, she would employ even more difficult tactics against him.

The danger would shift from the obvious to the hidden, making it impossible to guard against.

The result would be that his buffer time of over twenty years might be significantly shortened.

This option was a no-go, PASS.

Next, he considered the second option.

The Nine Revolutions Universe Pill sounded grand just from its name, and it was a top-grade Immortal Pill.

An Immortal Pill of this caliber was rare and sought after.

However, if he were to banish Daji to the cold palace, the outcome would be almost identical to the first option.

Besides, Daji's father, the Marquis of Jizhou, Su Hu, wouldn't let it go either. That guy was quick to rebel, and he had a history of it.

This was because Su Hu currently had no idea that a fox demon had possessed his daughter.

Under these circumstances, even with an Immortal Pill, it would bring him a fatal disaster.

This option was also a no-go, PASS.

As for the third option, Di Xin dismissed it outright. He hadn't reached Xu Xian's level, and no matter what the System rewarded, he truly couldn't go through with it.

Not only would the fox spirit absorb his primal yang, but more importantly, it was disgusting!

The fourth option.

It was very easy to complete and carried no risk. Although the reward was far inferior to the other three options, it seemed to be the most suitable for him.

Although Di Xin was a mortal, he had come into contact with Qi Cultivators, and there were many experts serving the court.

Beings of this level transcended mortals; they were reserve Immortals.

The four realms of Qi Cultivators were Refining Essence into Qi, Refining Qi into Spirit, Refining Spirit into Void, and Refining Void into Dao. Above that, was the Immortal realm, an even more formidable existence.

Being able to become a Qi Cultivator, wasn't that exactly what he needed most?

It was definitely a reward tailor-made for him.

Stay calm, don't get reckless, just survive and develop first!

Without much hesitation, Di Xin decisively chose the fourth option.

He turned around, patted his behind, and walked out of the hall without even looking at Su Daji.

"Great King..."

Unexpectedly, King Zhou reacted this way, Su Daji showed a surprised expression, bit her lip, and whimpered as she chased after him.

Di Xin, who had already stepped out of the hall, stopped.

Strange, I followed the steps for option four, why hasn't the reward arrived yet?

Was it three pats instead of two?

Di Xin completely ignored Daji's call and patted his behind three more times.

The System still didn't react.

The next moment, he saw Daji, who had already arrived before him, his gaze falling on her swaying, graceful backside.

Could it be that I'm supposed to pat her?
