Nuwa Eavesdropped on His Thoughts
Only then did Ye Xuan finally understand.
The Su Daji before him was a fusion of two people, not someone whose body had been taken over by the Nine-Tails Demon Fox.
"Remove your veil and let me see your true face."
Su Daji smiled demurely.
There seemed to be a hint of shyness deep in her eyes.
Was she finally going to meet the Human Emperor face-to-face?
Although she was still a little shy, Su Daji made no attempt to hide it.
She reached up and removed the veil that had hung beside her face all this time.
The next instant, a dazzling radiance seemed to burst from Su Daji.
It was so bright that Ye Xuan seemed unable to open his eyes.
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and fixed his gaze on the woman before him, who wore a white, floral-patterned gauze dress.
Her long hair, neither pinned up nor tied, cascaded down her back, smooth and supple as the finest silk.
Beneath her delicate, willow-leaf brows was a pair of magnificent deep-purple eyes that could steal souls, giving her an incomparably alluring bearing.
That wickedly seductive gaze was the very picture of a born enchantress; everything about her seemed to proclaim her the most bewitching woman in the Primordial World.
Her vermilion lips were lightly pressed together, like a cherry adorning her face, curved in the faintest hint of a smile.
That splash of brilliant red instantly robbed heaven and earth of their color.
Her snow-white skin surpassed even fine jade and actually gave off a silvery glow.
Clad in snow-white silk, the woman possessed an indescribably ethereal grace, like an immortal from the heavens.
Yet this immortal's gaze seemed enough to make one's blood surge.
Ye Xuan stared in a daze. She truly lived up to her name as a peerless enchantress.
Judging by Su Daji's looks alone, she indeed deserved the title of a beauty who brought ruin to a nation and its people.
In particular, her power to tempt all living beings could indeed steal souls.
After looking at her for a while, Ye Xuan finally turned his head away.
"What did Empress Nuwa send you here to do?"
"Did she send you to help me throw Chaoge into chaos and squander Yin Shang's providence?"
His voice had grown a little cold.
The peerless enchantress before him was beautiful, but she was in truth a calamity that would bring ruin to the nation and its people.
What was Empress Nuwa thinking? She clearly bore me no ill will anymore, yet she still sent this enchantress who would ruin the nation and its people to Chaoge.
Ye Xuan could not help but start slandering Nuwa in his heart.
Meanwhile, Empress Nuwa, inside Wa Huang Palace in Heaven Beyond Heaven-
Her eyes suddenly snapped open, and a soul-stealing gaze flashed out.
There seemed to be a faint hint of excitement in it.
It was here, it was here! What she had been waiting for had finally come again.
She had finally heard the Human Emperor's innermost thoughts once more.
Empress Nuwa had long ago placed a trace of her will upon the Fox Lord of Green Mound without anyone being the wiser.
Having the Fox Lord of Green Mound protect the Human Emperor was secondary.
Her main purpose was to use the Fox Lord of Green Mound to get close to the Human Emperor and eavesdrop on his innermost thoughts.
Now that the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods was about to begin, the order of the Heavenly Dao was in utter chaos.
Even Saints like them could not divine the course of the tribulation.
But Nuwa had already discovered that the Human Emperor possessed a means of seeing through the future.
That was why she had gone to such lengths to use the demon fox to approach the Human Emperor.
This was the moment she had been waiting for.
Now, what she had been looking forward to had finally arrived.
From here on, she could listen in on the Human Emperor's thoughts without end.
At that thought, Empress Nuwa grew excited.
She hurriedly closed her eyes and listened carefully to the thoughts of the Human Emperor in Chaoge.
Meanwhile, Su Daji, who was in Chaoge, looked somewhat apprehensive, and there was even a faint trace of hurt in her expression.
She had not expected the Human Emperor to treat her so coldly; it was far from what she had anticipated.
"Your Majesty, Human Emperor, Empress Nuwa also greatly admires you. She never told this humble demon to bring chaos to Yin Shang's realm."
"The Holy Mother once said that Your Majesty and the Holy Mother had become bound by karma. That is why Her Empress sent this humble demon to Chaoge, to reside in the palace and stay by Your Majesty's side to safeguard your person. Every word this humble demon has spoken is true; there is not the slightest falsehood."
"I beg Your Majesty, Human Emperor, to believe what this humble demon has said."
"Even if Your Majesty does not believe this humble demon, I ask that Your Majesty believe Daji."
Hearing the peerless enchantress's words, Ye Xuan gradually fell silent.
But monstrous waves surged in his heart.
Would that silly woman Nuwa be so kind? Would she send someone to protect me?
Ye Xuan wondered to himself. He really found it hard to believe.
That silly woman Nuwa is no good person. If I hadn't seen through Saint Zhunti's scheme, explained the cause and effect to Nuwa beforehand, and saved that silly woman Nuwa from a great calamity, I'm afraid that silly woman Nuwa would have been duped without even knowing it.
Maybe that silly woman would still have sent this fox spirit to throw Yin Shang's realm into chaos, unknowingly taking on a karma vast enough to blot out the heavens without even realizing it. And now she's sent this fox spirit to protect me?
Ye Xuan slandered her inwardly, expressing considerable disbelief about the matter and heaping cold ridicule on Nuwa.
Even the dignified Saint Nuwa had become a silly woman in his mind.
Little did he expect that Nuwa had heard every last word, without missing a single one.
Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, Empress Nuwa suddenly rose to her feet.
Her entire body trembled.
Boundless fury filled her eyes.
Silly woman? What is a silly woman?
Could it mean a fool?
Or does this silly woman mean a fool's mother?
I am a dignified Saint of merit, yet in the Human Emperor's mind I've become a silly woman?
A look of doubt and alarm flickered in Nuwa's eyes.
Endless rage also showed through.
When I saved him, he kept calling me "sister" over and over, but behind my back I've become a silly woman?
Isn't that fellow far too pragmatic?
Whatever "silly woman" meant, it was obvious that the Human Emperor looked down on her, a Saint of merit. It could even be said that he despised her.
Her chest heaved violently; clearly, that damned Human Emperor had made her furious.
"This Human Emperor really is no good. What a damned bastard."
At that moment, Nuwa suddenly felt sympathy for Saint Zhunti and Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun.
For now, she too had finally tasted the sharpness of the Human Emperor's tongue.
This Human Emperor truly had a remarkable talent for hurling insults.
But Ye Xuan, in the imperial harem of Chaoge, remained lost in thought:
That silly woman Nuwa holds grudges more than anyone.
That bitch Zhunti knew this all too well. That's why he clouded the Human Emperor's mind and made him molest that silly woman once, and the silly woman was petty enough to want Yin Shang destroyed.
I'm afraid it really will be difficult to fool that silly woman into joining my side. Looks like I'll have to become a simp and use the great simp method. Simping for that silly woman every now and then wouldn't be so bad. Otherwise, with that silly woman's intelligence, she wouldn't even know if the other Saints sold her out. It'd be a small matter if she got herself into trouble, but if she dragged the human race down with her, we'd be done for!
Who would have thought that the dignified Human Emperor would end up having to be a simp-
At that thought, Ye Xuan felt a little sorry for himself.
He had once sworn an oath.
A simp? I'll never be a simp in this life. Even if I stay single, I'll never be a simp!
He had never expected that after transmigrating to the Primordial World, he would be forced to become a simp.
How tragic-
But then he imagined what it would be like after he had simped Nuwa over to his side.
It was actually quite appealing.
Ye Xuan did not feel so miserable anymore.
