In the great hall, Hu Ximei had already stood up. Her bearing was dignified, her eyes clear. If not for the crimson robes concealing her, her exquisite curves would have been bursting forth, giving her a certain immortal aura.

"And who is this Beauty?"

Di Xin approached and examined her closely. Little stars flashed in his eyes, then... they vanished.

He was already staring, mesmerized.

"Great King, Great King..."

Daji tugged at King Zhou's sleeve coquettishly. Di Xin finally snapped back to reality, rubbed his large hands together, and chuckled, "This Beauty is truly the most stunning woman in the world!"

He looked like a lecherous pig.

"Great King, this is my distant cousin, surnamed Hu and named Xi Mei," Daji quickly introduced. She was truly worried that this Great King might lose his senses and give the Jade Pipa Spirit another three spanks on her backside.

It wasn't impossible; the guy really could do such things.

He had treated her the same way back then.

"This humble Taoist greets the Great King!" Across from him, Hu Ximei gave a slight bow, a dignified greeting.

"Hu Xi Mei... Xi Mei... a beautiful person with a beautiful name!"

Di Xin paused, his lecherous expression returning as if it had never left.

In reality, he finally let out a long sigh of relief, his heart settling into his stomach.

After meeting You Hun in Longde Hall, he had received news from Fang Bi that Su Daji had brought a beautiful woman in red into Shouxian Palace from outside the palace.

Di Xin's first thought was: could this person be Goddess Nuwa?

After all, he had a guilty conscience. The System had stolen one of her Monster Summoning Banners. It would be perfectly reasonable for the Goddess to come looking for him.

Coincidentally, Fang Bi was a crude man. Without asking the name or identity of the Taoist nun in red, he had come directly to Di Xin.

The result was a misunderstanding that had caused Di Xin a moment of false alarm.

Even after seeing that this woman's face was different from the statue of Goddess Nuwa, he hadn't let his guard down. After all, at the level of Immortals, as long as one cultivated transformation divine abilities, changing into anyone's appearance was just a matter of thought.

The monkey in Journey to the West had even transformed into a temple!

Now, upon hearing that the woman in red was Hu Xi Mei, Di Xin had some recollection.

She should be Daji's sister, the Jade Pipa Spirit who later became one of his consorts.

It seemed his strategy of playing the fool was correct.

As he spoke, he even leaned closer, lowering his head to gaze at the rise and fall of her chest beneath her snow-white neck, his face almost touching it.

"Great King, this is my sister!"

Daji quickly pulled Di Xin and coughed, emphasizing her words.

"Oh, a sister, right... a sister..."

Di Xin seemed to wake up from a dream, glanced at Daji, and laughed, "Since she's your sister, she must be younger than Beloved Consort, but... she looks older than Beloved Consort!"

"Great King, this humble Taoist came to see my sister. Since I have seen her, I shall take my leave."

Hu Xi Mei's expression turned cold. She said this sternly, gave a bow, and began to walk out.

"Sister... Sister..."

Daji followed, taking small steps and calling out to her.

"Beautiful sister, don't go, This King hasn't had a chance to entertain you yet!"

Di Xin also followed behind, enthusiastically trying to persuade her.

Hu Xi Mei seemed determined to leave. She ignored Daji and Di Xin's calls, her footsteps unwavering.

As they neared the entrance to Shouxian Palace, two options suddenly appeared before Di Xin's eyes.

[Option One: Leave the palace to persuade Hu Xi Mei. Reward: Immortal Beast Azure Ox.] [Option Two: Stop at the palace gate. Reward: Demon Beast Howling Celestial Hound.]

After reading the options, Di Xin immediately slammed on the brakes, stopping outside the gate of Shouxian Palace and watching Hu Xi Mei gracefully depart.

At the same time, a cold snort suddenly echoed from the sky.

It was a woman's voice.

Di Xin, being inside the palace, couldn't see what was happening in the sky, but his backside involuntarily tensed.

It seemed the System had saved him once again.

Without a doubt, if he had chased after her, danger might have descended immediately.

Who was that woman?

Could it be Goddess Nuwa?

He watched Hu Xi Mei's figure disappear among the layered buildings and pavilions, not daring to take half a step out of Shouxian Palace.

[Host's choice is completely correct. Option task completed. Reward: Demon Beast Howling Celestial Hound.]

At this moment, as the subtitles reappeared before his eyes, he saw a palm-sized White Puppy suddenly appear on the golden gourd in his System space.

And, gnawing at the golden gourd's mouth.

Is this Erlang Shen's Sky-Howling Dog?

Seeing this, Di Xin couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

This System is too absurd, bringing Yang Jian's Sky-Howling Dog here too?

If I keep it, will I need to buy dog food for it?

"Great King, my sister is a nun and knows nothing of worldly affairs. She's also not romantic and was hurt by men in the past, so she doesn't have a good impression of men. It's just her personality. I beg the Great King not to be angry."

At this moment, Su Daji, who had escorted Hu Ximei, returned. She didn't blame Di Xin for his outrageous behavior; instead, she began to explain.

Di Xin shook his head in disappointment. "Indeed, she knows nothing of worldly affairs and doesn't even give This King face. In the future, don't bring such relatives to the palace."

He seemed to get angrier as he spoke. In the end, he even flicked his sleeve and returned to his chambers without bothering with Daji.

Daji cursed Hu Ximei a few times. Her goal achieved, she didn't want to embarrass herself further and returned to her own palace.

What she didn't know was that Di Xin was no longer interested in any woman at the moment. What interested him most was that little white puppy.

This guy is alive, what should I do?

Lying on the bed, Di Xin was truly troubled.

The Sky-Howling Dog was Erlang Shen's demonic beast, with explosive combat power and very strong, but it was a living creature!

It was also stolen by the System. Would Yang Jian find this place?

After all, the Monster Summoning Banner was an inanimate object, but this little puppy was a living creature.

Would there be any Divine Sense connection between it and Erlang Shen?

Also, how could he command it?

What if it attacked him as soon as it came out of the System space?

Di Xin felt a headache coming on.

Ultimately, although he now had the cultivation of the Human Flower Realm mid-stage, he was completely ignorant of the divine abilities of Qi Cultivators in driving magical treasures and demonic beasts. He was simply a novice.

Others have a Master, equivalent to having a teacher in class.

If the teacher doesn't teach something, they can learn it in extracurricular classes.

In his current state, he could only self-study, but the problem was, he didn't even have textbooks for self-study!

There wasn't even a single book like that in the Royal Palace.

Should he find a teacher and ask?

No, he planned to lie low. Once he found a teacher, there would be many more troubles later.

He couldn't abandon his path of lying low because of a dog!

"System, can you give the Host a tutorial on Qi Cultivators?"

Suddenly, Di Xin had an idea and said it with his thoughts.

However, the System was silent, with no reaction.

"Heartless thing!"

After waiting for a moment, with no subtitles appearing from the System, Di Xin muttered and tossed and turned on the couch.
