Chapter 122 The Alluring Female Assassin (Part 2)

Ge Xiaoyao fed King Zhou painkillers before Shen Gongbao rushed over, but his disheveled appearance made Ge Xiaoyao want to laugh.

His hair was disheveled, haphazardly tied with a hairpin, and his Taoist robe was filthy, with several burn marks and torn holes. His face was blackened; if he were placed in a coal pile, it would be impossible to tell if he was coal or a person.

"Damn! Did he go to Africa to fight elephants?" Ge Xiaoyao secretly gloated, anticipating Shen Gongbao's explanation.

"Your Majesty, we were just fighting two water demons from who-knows-where, so we are late. Please forgive us!" Shen Gongbao said.

King Zhou frowned. "Grand Preceptor, where did this water demon come from?"

Shen Gongbao hurriedly replied, "I don't know where it came from, but it actually came into the moat and devoured the people. However, I have already killed it in a fierce battle!"

King Zhou said happily, "Good! Grand Preceptor, you've worked hard! My headache has flared up again today, and I didn't know the reason, so I invited you to come and take a look!"

Shen Gongbao said, "I have delayed Your Majesty's illness and deserve to die!"

King Zhou waved his hand and said, "Spare me the trouble. You risked your life to eliminate the water demon for the sake of my Great Shang people. I am already rewarding you." "How could I blame you! I just took the medicine from Marquis Anle, and I feel much better now!"

Shen Gongbao thanked him and said, "I'll perform another ritual to check again!"

As he spoke, Shen Gongbao clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and muttered incantations. After a short while, he suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Has Your Majesty been dreaming of Consort Shu these past two days?" King Zhou

exclaimed in surprise and then sighed, "Yes, these past two nights when I fall asleep, I always see Consort Shu covered in blood, yet she smiles at me!" When

Ge Xiaoyao heard about Consort Shu, he thought of Yan Qiang, and his heart ached.

"That's it!" Shen Gongbao said. "It's the lingering spirit of Yan Qiang, haunting Your Majesty!"

King Zhou asked, "Does the Imperial Advisor have a solution?"

Shen Gongbao thought for a moment and said, "I can perform a ritual to remove Yan Qiang's spirit, but Your Majesty works tirelessly day and night. Only by taking care of your health can you be immune to all evil!"

King Zhou nodded. "The Imperial Advisor is absolutely right. Please, Imperial Advisor, you must get rid of that vile woman, Yan Qiang!" After thinking for a moment, he added, "I think it's been several months since I last went hunting in the mountains. How about this, three days from now, I'll take my two beloved ministers to hunt in Chaoge Mountain?"

Ge Xiaoyao naturally agreed.

Shen Gongbao replied, "I'm afraid I cannot accompany you. Three days from now is an auspicious day for warding off disaster, and I must hold a ritual to pray for the well-being of the people of my Great Shang!"

King Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Very well, since the Grand Preceptor is unavailable, Marquis Anle and a few beauties will suffice!" Then, he said to Ge Xiaoyao, "I'll leave the preparations to you, Marquis Anle!"

Ge Xiaoyao hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured!" But inwardly he thought, "Damn! I wonder if Shen Gongbao is telling the truth or not. Why haven't I found Yan Qiang's ghost here?"

Of course, Ge Xiaoyao didn't know that Shen Gongbao was also sweating profusely. "What on earth is Shi Ji up to? Now that Consort Shu is dead, why is she still performing rituals to give King Zhou a headache? Isn't this just making things difficult for herself? Fortunately, I'm clever enough to come up with this excuse."

Dissatisfied, Shen Gongbao naturally went back to question Shi Ji.

Unexpectedly, Shi Ji chuckled and leaned seductively on his shoulder, saying, "Although Consort Shu is dead, I haven't yet ascended to the rank of Imperial Consort!"

Shen Gongbao asked in surprise, "Didn't I arrange for you to meet King Zhou on the Deer Terrace as a fairy last time? How come you haven't won him over yet!"

Shi Ji laughed, her jade hands stroking Shen Gongbao's chest, "What, are you jealous?"

Shen Gongbao snorted, refusing to look at Shi Ji.

"Hehe..." Shi Ji giggled, "King Zhou and I were just playing around, you know that!"

Shen Gongbao said, "Of course I know, but you shouldn't have failed the first time. You should have discussed it with me the second time. I just used King Zhou's headache to execute Consort Shu, and you've given him a headache too, isn't that harming me?"

Shi Ji said disdainfully, "What's wrong with that?" As she spoke, her face became alluring, and she pressed her cheek against Shen Gongbao's, "This time I just need one more chance. Isn't King Zhou going hunting at Chaoge Mountain in three days?"

Shen Gongbao asked in confusion, "How did you know?

" Shi Ji smiled smugly: "Of course I know, and I also know that someone in the palace is plotting to assassinate King Zhou. When that happens, I'll appear as a fairy to save King Zhou, and he'll be overjoyed!"

Shen Gongbao asked, "So what did you do at the Deer Terrace last time?"

Shi Ji replied casually, "Reciting poetry, playing the zither..."

Shen Gongbao asked suspiciously, "That's all?"

Shi Ji said, "That's all. What else do you think there would be?" As she spoke, a more alluring smile appeared on her face, and she leaned close to Shen Gongbao's ear and said, "I know what you're thinking..." Her delicate body slumped softly into his arms.

"Damn! How could this be?!" Ge Xiaoyao stood by the lake, unable to believe his eyes.

When Ge Xiaoyao suddenly remembered that he should remind Consort De, "The weather is getting colder, don't stay by the lake too long!", he saw a scene he shouldn't have seen.

Ge Xiaoyao was acting on King Zhou's orders to convey to Consort De that she should prepare to go hunting with King Zhou in three days. Previously, this task was always done by Consort Shu, while Consort De always declined, citing her inability to bear bloodshed. Over time, King Zhou stopped having her accompany him on his hunting trips.

Now that Consort Shu was dead, King Zhou naturally chose a concubine from among his many consorts to accompany him. So, besides the three beauties from the Star-Picking Tower, he also chose Consort De.

Ge Xiaoyao then volunteered to go and issue the imperial decree to these women, so they could prepare in advance. After all, women are always a bit of a hassle! It would save him from the mess of drawing eyebrows, applying eyeshadow, bathing, and preparing clothes at the last minute.

Ge Xiaoyao saw Consort De sitting cross-legged on the pavilion in the middle of the lake, her hands coiled like snakes. A crystal-blue light gradually enveloped her entire body, and a bewitching red light shot out from the blue light, instantly turning into an invisible wisp of smoke and dissipating.

"Damn! She's the real Holy Maiden of the Witch Cult!" Ge Xiaoyao shouted inwardly, "So Yan Qiang really was wronged!"

But how could she be the Holy Maiden of the Witch Cult? How could she be the Holy Maiden of the Witch Cult? Ge Xiaoyao couldn't help but connect Consort De with the Holy Maiden of the Witch Cult.

Because, if she truly was the Holy Maiden of the Witch Cult, how could she not know when he raped her with such a despicable invisibility technique upon entering the palace? If she knew, how could she willingly endure such humiliation?

Furthermore, if she truly was the Holy Maiden of the Witch Cult, why didn't she wholeheartedly try to please King Zhou and win his favor? Instead, she was as cold as ice, her countenance chilling to the bone.

Besides, if she truly was the Holy Maiden of the Witch Cult, she would definitely have noticed the black-clad assassin trying to kill her; with her spiritual power, even twenty assassins like that would have gotten close to her.

"Damn! Regardless of whether she's a witch saintess or not, let's see what she's up to first," Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, quietly concealing himself. Now that his immortal root was complete, his invisibility technique was vastly different from before. Even among cultivators, it was now quite difficult to see through his movements. Of course, sometimes his presence could still be detected, but only through magic could he be revealed.

Ge Xiaoyao crouched down on a reef and looked towards the pavilion.

At this moment, Consort De had already stood up, her exquisite body draped in a white veil, swaying gently in the slightly damp breeze. Suddenly, a red light flashed, and Ge Xiaoyao subconsciously closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, a beautiful woman stood before Consort De.

Although she wasn't as tall or as curvaceous as Consort De, and her face wasn't as beautiful, she was still quite well-proportioned and could definitely be called a beauty.

"Damn! Isn't that one of the Eight Fairies from Penglai Island?" Ge Xiaoyao found the woman's face increasingly familiar, then suddenly remembered that she was a beauty sent by the Eastern Yi.

"Blood Serpent, we'll make our move tomorrow morning. Tonight, you all go to the Chaoge Mountain hunting grounds to prepare. Inform me after you've chosen the location!" Consort De said coldly.

The beauty nodded and asked, "Who is the target?"

Consort De pondered for a moment, then sneered, "King Zhou!"

"Why choose tomorrow? We'll have plenty of opportunities to kill him!" the beauty said.

Consort De calmly shook her head, a smile appearing on her face. "No, we have no chance. If we don't act now, it will be too late!"

Her tone suddenly turned icy. "This operation must succeed; failure is not an option. Otherwise, none of us will return alive!"

The beautiful woman hurriedly replied, "Yes!"

Consort De looked around; the sky was almost completely dark. "Alright, go back now. Inform the sisters that everyone must be mobilized. Make sure everything goes smoothly."

The woman replied again, "Yes!"

Consort De then sighed softly, "Why did we enter the palace this time, enduring humiliation and hardship? Do you remember?!"

The woman nodded, offering no answer. Consort

De waved her hand, saying, "Let's go!"

The woman made a coiling snake gesture with her hands, and soon her body transformed into a wisp of white mist, disappearing into the night sky.

Ge Xiaoyao got up from the ground, rubbing his aching knees, and thought to himself, "They're going to assassinate King Zhou tomorrow. What should I do?"

At this moment, Consort De slowly walked to the small boat by the pavilion, gently rowing it, her gentle and melodious voice singing, "Orchids, cassia... oars and songs, water, leaves... passing away without splendor..."

These were originally passionate and charming words, but when she sang them, they carried a faint sadness.

"Alas!" Ge Xiaoyao watched the graceful figures row away, sighing in his heart, "Never mind, let them go. Yan Qiang is dead, and it's unlikely I can control King Zhou now. If they succeed, it will save me some trouble!"

Of course, at this moment he had completely forgotten Jiang Ziya's instructions. King Zhou was a man ordained by Heaven; he couldn't die until the time was right, nor could he die!

Ge Xiaoyao silently recited the incantation, his body floating off the ground. With his current skill, he couldn't even fly through the clouds, but crossing the lake without his feet touching the water was a piece of cake.

"Well then, since it's still early, why don't we go with the Eight Fairies of Penglai to Chaoge Mountain and see what kind of ambushes, traps, and schemes they've set up!"

Chapter 123 The Beautiful Female Assassin (Part 2)

Three thousand armored soldiers, majestic and imposing, their banners fluttering in the wind like a forest.

Arrows in flasks, swords at waists, warhorses neighing, the wind howling.

King Zhou, in golden helmet and armor, rode atop a golden warhorse, like a celestial general, smiling as he surveyed the orderly army, nodding repeatedly, his eyes gradually filling with an air of arrogance that looked down upon the world.

"Damn! This is just a hunting trip, of course their morale is high. If it were a real war, most of these soldiers would probably desert before they even reach the front lines!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, annoyed. He had led troops before and knew that these men accompanying King Zhou on the hunt were all royal nobles. They were swaggering around now, but on the battlefield they would be terrified and wet their pants.

Ge Xiaoyao's gaze swept over King Zhou and landed on the concubines behind him.

"Damn! What a sight to behold..." Ge Xiaoyao saw that each of them had fair skin and a heroic air, their beauty enhanced by their golden armor and helmets

. A few of the concubines, perhaps timid on horseback, were pale and disfigured, barely managing to sit on their horses and hold the reins.

Consort De's face remained frosty, but she suited the heroic formation quite well.

"Damn! It seems King Zhou made a huge mistake by not having her participate in the hunt before!" Ge Xiaoyao, mounted on his horse, had his bow and arrows hanging beside him, swaying precariously, the silver bells on the arrows jingling.

King Zhou waved his hand, and three thousand troops galloped out of the training ground, heading towards Chaoge Mountain in a grand procession.

Ge Xiaoyao reined in his horse and glanced back at Consort De, only to see a smile on her usually icy face.

"Whoosh..."

"Whoosh..."

The bowstring twanged, and a pheasant, struck in the neck by an arrow, cried out and fell to the ground. King Zhou laughed, and at that moment, his guards rode forward, scooped up the prey, and hung it on their horses.

Most of the wild animals on Chaoge Mountain were now surrounded by the three thousand iron cavalry on this thousand-acre grassland. With shouts and cries, hooves flew, drums beat, arrows rang out, and countless pheasants, rabbits, deer, and sheep were slain.

King Zhou's performance was naturally the best; in less than half an hour, he had hunted over a hundred animals.

Ge Xiaoyao was also quite good. Since his immortal root had taken shape within him, his skills had indeed improved considerably. Although he tried his best to control himself and not be too flamboyant, he still managed to hunt dozens of wild animals. He reined in his horse, glanced around, and saw a dozen soldiers hunting a wild boar. The boar was enormous, with thick hide and flesh. Even with a dozen arrows in its body, it was incredibly ferocious, roaring as it charged at the soldiers' horses. Two thick tusks even pierced the chest of one of the horses, causing the rider to tumble off. Fortunately, nearby soldiers rushed to his aid, preventing him from being torn to pieces by the boar.

King Zhou naturally saw this scene as well. He shouted excitedly, spurred his horse forward, drew his bow, and with a whoosh, the arrow flew like a meteor, striking the boar squarely in the hind leg.

The wild boar, suddenly gripped by pain, stumbled, lost its footing, and charged wildly towards the group of concubines.

Screams erupted from the concubines, but the soldiers guarding them remained silent, abandoning their bows and gripping their spears, charging towards the boar.

At that moment, King Zhou also stopped drawing his bow and spurred his horse towards them.

However, the wounded and enraged boar ignored the knights' lances, charging madly through the herd, knocking over two warhorses before crashing into the concubines' horses.

"Damn!" Ge Xiaoyao gasped, no longer standing there watching the spectacle, and spurred his horse forward, also charging towards the group of concubines.

The soldiers guarding the concubines' quarters paled, roaring as they drew their spears. With a flurry of swift movements, the wild boar was bound by a dozen ropes, the iron spear tips piercing its flesh. The soldiers yelled and spurred their horses, dragging the boar from the group of concubines.

The boar was quickly reduced to dozens of pieces of meat. Just

as the weight lifted from their hearts, a cry of alarm rang out, "Consort De's horse has sprung a fright!"

Ge Xiaoyao turned to see, and sure enough, Consort De's horse was galloping wildly into the mountains.

Ge Xiaoyao was about to give chase when a rider suddenly appeared from the side—it was King Zhou! He shouted, "Everyone, wait here! Marquis Anle, come with me and pursue!"

Before Ge Xiaoyao could reply, King Zhou's warhorse neighed and galloped into the forest. Ge Xiaoyao immediately spurred his horse and gave chase.

The mountains of Chaoge are densely forested, with only this thousand-acre plain grassland being cultivated by the Shang Dynasty specifically for hunting. The rest of the area is a complex network of woodlands. Consort De's horse, startled, plunged into the forest and vanished without a trace after a few turns.

King Zhou and Ge Xiaoyao followed the hoofprints frantically, but could not catch up.

"Damn! It seems Consort De's tactic of luring the tiger away from the mountain worked well; King Zhou has indeed fallen for it!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, secretly tightening the reins to slow his horse and gradually increase the distance between him and King Zhou. His horse was naturally no match for King Zhou's steed, and it was only natural that it couldn't outrun him.

Therefore, when Ge Xiaoyao finally saw King Zhou again from afar, King Zhou was already caught in a huge net and had fallen from his horse.

All of this was within Ge Xiaoyao's expectations. Consort De's actions were not due to her horse being startled, but rather a ruse to lure King Zhou here and then ambush him.

A flash of cold light, and several slender black figures leaped down from the trees in the forest without making a sound, their swords thrusting towards the still struggling King Zhou.

"Damn! Ruthless indeed, no warning, one sword and he's dead!" Ge Xiaoyao took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on King Zhou struggling in the net. "King Zhou, you're so pitiful, dying without even knowing who killed you!"

A series of clanging sounds rang out, followed by the figures being thrown backward. Some crashed into trees, others lay on the ground, all letting out a weak groan.

"Damn! No way! Could King Zhou have a secret weapon?" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, when suddenly a blur appeared before his eyes. A woman in a simple white dress, ethereal and graceful, stood before King Zhou. With some unknown means, she flicked her finger, and the net around King Zhou vanished.

King Zhou, freed from the net, hurriedly said, "It was the fairy who saved me! Thank you, fairy!"

Only then did Ge Xiaoyao realize that the one who had rescued King Zhou was none other than Lady Shiji!

"Damn it! That old witch again!" Ge Xiaoyao cursed inwardly, but stopped his horse and watched from a distance behind a tree.

He saw the several dark figures, after falling to the ground, suddenly leap up again, each letting out a delicate cry as they pounced on King Zhou, but they didn't realize they were no match for Shi Ji.

Shi Ji snorted coldly, and with a few quick flicks of her wrist, the dark figures fell to the ground again, groaning in pain, unable to get up.

King Zhou stepped forward, stepping on one of the men in black, and drew his sword to remove the black cloth, but cried out in alarm.

Just then, Shi Ji suddenly cried out, "Your Majesty, be careful!" Her body leaped into the air, tackling King Zhou to the ground. With a series of explosions, severed limbs flew everywhere, and blood rained down. The man in black had actually self-destructed.

The earth trembled, and even Ge Xiaoyao, far away, was stained with a drop of blood. "Damn! Terrorists... why are they using human bombs!"

Ge Xiaoyao threw off a blade of grass from his head, spurred his horse forward, and asked in astonishment, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

King Zhou was clearly still reeling from the shock, and only grunted in response to Ge Xiaoyao's question. Shi Ji laughed, "So it's Marquis Anle. A few lesser demons tried to harm Your Majesty, but I've already dealt with them!"

Ge Xiaoyao hurriedly said, "The fairy has descended to protect Your Majesty; she is truly the greatest hero of our Shang Dynasty!" As he spoke, he dismounted and helped King Zhou up.

King Zhou let out a long sigh and slowly said, "This time, it's all thanks to the fairy who saved me; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

"Damn! How did Shi Ji know that Consort De and the others were plotting to harm King Zhou! Could it be..." Ge Xiaoyao frowned and asked Shi Ji, "Fairy, do you know who these demons are who tried to harm the king?"

Shi Ji shook her head and smiled sweetly, "They were afraid of being exposed, so they already destroyed their own bodies!"

King Zhou said, "It must be those demons from the Eastern Yi. So the beauties sent by the Eastern Yi were all assassins!"

"Damn! You only just realized that? But why didn't you think of that when you saw the erotic dance in the North?" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, feigning surprise, "Your Majesty, did you see clearly?"

King Zhou nodded, but suddenly remembered something and said urgently, "Oh no, Consort De is still ahead. If these vixens..." He jumped onto his horse and said, "Quickly, chase after them!" He then reached out to Shi Ji and said, "Fairy, come on up quickly!"

Shi Ji naturally knew that King Zhou wanted her to ride with him, but a shy blush appeared on her face. She hesitated for a moment before reaching out her hand and letting King Zhou pull her up to sit in front of him.

"Damn! This old hag Shi Ji seems to have wicked intentions. She's pretending to be young now!" Ge Xiaoyao cursed inwardly, and then jumped onto his horse, following King Zhou as he galloped forward.

In a clearing in the forest, Consort De sat on the ground, her face pale. Her golden helmet was gone, revealing long, flowing hair draped over her forehead. She clutched her foot, her face showing pain.

Upon seeing King Zhou and Shi Ji arrive together, her face first showed surprise, then she cried out in sorrow, "Your Majesty..."

A beautiful woman's tearful cry is most moving and heartbreaking. King Zhou, without even stopping his horse, leaped down and rushed forward to embrace Consort De. "Consort De, where are you hurt?"

Ge Xiaoyao, knowing Consort De harbored ill intentions, sneered inwardly. He wanted to see King Zhou killed, so he pretended not to know and dismounted as well, saying, "Your Majesty has probably injured your foot!"

Only Shi Ji stood to the side, a strange smile on her face, silently watching everything.

Seeing Ge Xiaoyao arrive, King Zhou said, "Marquis Anle, quickly heal Consort De's wounds!" He then tried to stand up again, releasing Consort De.

Just then, a murderous glint flashed in Consort De's eyes, and she threw herself into King Zhou's arms.

King Zhou's expression changed drastically. He abruptly pushed Consort De aside and shouted, "What kind of sorcerer dares to harm me!"

Ge Xiaoyao was stunned and stopped in his tracks, only to see a short knife sticking out of King Zhou's chest. Consort

De burst into wild laughter, gritting her teeth, and said, "You idiot king, you have plunged the Eastern Yi into war for over a decade, plundering and killing countless Yi people. Today is your death day!"

King Zhou bent down, clutching the short knife to his chest, his face contorted in pain. Hearing this, he roared, "Are you also a sorceress from the Eastern Yi?!"

"Haha..." Consort De laughed, "I am the former Holy Maiden of the Yi Holy Sect. I have endured many years of hardship in the palace, all for the sake of personally killing you, this tyrannical and wicked ruler! You are doomed today!"

Unexpectedly, King Zhou laughed loudly, suddenly stood up, pulled out the short knife, and threw it to the ground. "Haha... With armor protecting you, how could your short sword possibly harm me!"

Consort De was shocked. She knew her short sword was stuck in King Zhou's heart, but she hadn't expected him to have inner armor protecting him. She roared angrily, raising both hands and making a gesture. A ball of light, seemingly red but not quite, stopped in her hands.

At this moment, Shi Ji sneered, "Witch, you dare to make a fool of yourself with such a trick!" With that, her graceful figure spun sharply, her jade fingers flicking, shooting out beams of red light that instantly knocked away Consort De's ball of light. Caught off guard, Consort De was also struck by a finger, letting out a muffled groan and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Lewd King! Tyrant! One day I will return!" Despite her injury, Consort De didn't linger. Her figure blurred as she rapidly retreated into the dense forest!

"Witch, where do you think you're going!" Shi Ji shouted, lunging forward to give chase, but King Zhou stopped her.

"Fairy, don't chase after her. After all, she once served me, the King. Let her go!"

Shi Ji nodded. "Very well, as long as I, Shi Ji, am here, no one can harm the King!"

Ge Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Consort De escape. Since Consort De was the former Holy Maiden of the Yi tribe, he naturally didn't want anything to happen to her. Moreover, he somewhat hoped that Consort De could succeed in killing King Zhou. He pondered to himself, knowing that the Eastern Yi Witchcraft Cult had been attacked and that Zi Lingyan had self-destructed her primordial spirit, as the former Holy Maiden, she must have already learned of the news. This assassination attempt seemed to be a desperate gamble.

However, since she was the Holy Maiden of the Witchcraft Cult, her power should not be weak. How could she be injured by Shi Ji in one move?

If she was truly the Holy Maiden, was she pretending not to know when he secretly raped her and then attacked by the assassin?

Furthermore, how could Shi Ji know that she would ambush King Zhou? Even with the Holy Maiden's caution, he hadn't discovered it after days of investigation. How could Shi Ji, a newcomer, know so much?

"Damn, this is getting more and more complicated!" Ge Xiaoyao was filled with doubts, secretly calculating, but his face remained calm. He walked to King Zhou's side and asked with concern, "Your Majesty, are you alright? Should I check you?"

King Zhou, after a series of frights, looked exhausted and slowly said, "Never mind, I'm fine. Let's go back!"

Chapter 124 Yue Xin's Revenge (Part 1)

Chaoge City, Imperial Palace, Pleasure Pavilion.

Having returned from hunting in Chaoge Mountain and escorted King Zhou back to the Star-Picking Tower, Ge Xiaoyao was somewhat tired.

This series of events had left him bewildered, unable to understand what was going on. The perfectly good Consort Shu, Yan Qiang, was found to possess witchcraft artifacts in the palace and was subjected to torture; while the usually cold and aloof Consort De had become an assassin to kill King Zhou, and even had connections to the Eastern Yi witchcraft cult. Who among them is the real Holy Maiden?

"Damn it!" Ge Xiaoyao shook his head, cursing under his breath, and pushed open the door of the Bliss Pavilion.

He turned back and closed the door tightly, then entered the inner hall, only to suddenly sense something was amiss. He suddenly remembered that he had locked the doors of the Bliss Pavilion when he left, including the inner hall's door, which he had locked with his magic—an impossible task for an ordinary person. But why was it suddenly open now?

Ge Xiaoyao inwardly cried out in alarm, and in a flash, the leg he had just stepped into the inner hall retracted. With a clang, a silver needle gleaming with blue light was driven into it.

"Damn it! Who?!" Ge Xiaoyao roared, immediately hiding by the door, but his eyes caught a glimpse of a white figure flashing inside. "Hehe…looks like no one special!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself with delight, already having an idea, and immediately recited the incantation to pass through walls.

"Ah!…" The white-clad woman's scream startled Ge Xiaoyao.

Ge Xiaoyao had used his wall-penetrating technique to enter, and just as he caught the white figure, he heard a shrill scream and almost let go.

But the scream sounded very familiar, and he quickly focused his gaze, only to gasp in shock: "Consort De, how could it be you!"

Consort De also recognized Ge Xiaoyao, a smile appearing on her face. "Shh! Don't make a sound!"

Ge Xiaoyao felt the warmth and softness of her flesh against his chest. He then realized that Consort De had clearly removed her golden armor and was now only wearing a white undergarment. She was being held tightly in Ge Xiaoyao's arms, but she showed no shyness; instead, she readily cooperated with his embrace.

"Didn't you escape? How dare you return here?" Ge Xiaoyao released Consort De and asked.

The smile on Consort De's face didn't fade, but instead grew even brighter. It even sent chills down Ge Xiaoyao's spine; he had never seen Consort De laugh so happily before.

"Brother Ge! You really think I'm Consort De?" Consort De moved away from Ge Xiaoyao, wiping her face with her jade-like hands, revealing a pretty and delicate face.

"Ah?" Ge Xiaoyao was truly astonished this time, speechless for a long while before uttering two words, "Yuexin?"

"Brother Ge, you still remember me!" Yuexin exclaimed happily, then threw herself back into Ge Xiaoyao's arms, "Brother Ge, I missed you so much!"

Hearing that sweet voice, Ge Xiaoyao felt a tickle in his heart, his mind a complete mess!

"How did you get here?" Ge Xiaoyao asked.

"Why can't I be here?" Yuexin said, then groaned and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"What's wrong with you?" Ge Xiaoyao asked hurriedly. But then he realized how stupid he was; he had clearly seen her injured by Shiji.

"That old demon Shiji is indeed powerful!" Yuexin said in a deep voice, her face turning deathly pale.

Ge Xiaoyao quickly helped her into the inner room, then hurriedly took out the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill from his pouch, dissolved it in water, and gave it to Yuexin.

A short while later, a rosy glow returned to Yuexin's face.

Ge Xiaoyao then asked, "Yuexin, what are you doing here? And impersonating Consort De again? How beautiful you are!"

Yuexin gave a tired smile. She had been forcing herself to speak with Ge Xiaoyao, and now, after taking the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill, her internal injuries were healed, but a great weariness overwhelmed her, causing her to fall into a deep sleep. "Brother Ge… I'm so tired!"

Faced with this woman who had just been poisoned, feigning illness, smiling brightly, and seemingly on the verge of death, but now, just recovered and wanting to sleep, Ge Xiaoyao was at a loss for words. He could only say, "If you're tired, sleep for a while!" He then carried her to the bed.

Ge Xiaoyao tried to put her down, but Yuexin's jade-like arms clung tightly to his neck, refusing to let go. Half-drunk, she murmured, "Brother Ge..."

Due to the earlier tug-of-war, her short inner garment was slightly disheveled, revealing a glimpse of her white breasts, which pressed against Ge Xiaoyao's chest. A surge of heat rose in Ge Xiaoyao's heart, while Yuexin kept her beautiful eyes closed, only murmuring, "Brother Ge..."

...

It should be known that Yuexin had once lured Ge Xiaoyao to his death in the Eastern Barbarian Lion Army, but Ge Xiaoyao had countered and released her. Later, in the Youqing Forest, she was the one who devised the plan to trap Ge Xiaoyao and Yingnu in a stone cave. Later, with Zi Lingyan's secret help, she and Duomei, though suffering from countless mosquitoes and ants, also mastered a set of immortal skills. When Dream Maiden Peak was attacked, she and Duomei took a wisp of Zi Lingyan's remaining soul to Kunlun. Of course, Ge Xiaoyao had seen her before, back on Hundred Herbs Cliff, when she was still suffering from the torment of thousands of mosquitoes and ants. He only knew this from the ghost Yin San.

Ge Xiaoyao naturally knew that although Yue Xin's body was no longer pure, she was deeply devoted to him. Otherwise, after being injured and escaping, she would never have risked returning to the palace and hiding in the Pleasure Pavilion.

When Yue Xin woke up, she found herself lying naked on the bed, her white undergarments neatly folded at the head of the bed. A blush suddenly appeared on her face.

Ge Xiaoyao entered carrying a jade bowl. Seeing Yue Xin awake, he smiled and said, "Yue Xin, have some porridge to nourish yourself!"

"Thank you, Brother Ge!" Yue Xin blushed even more as she took the jade bowl.

Seeing that Yue Xin was alright, Ge Xiaoyao was somewhat relieved. Although he still had many doubts, he believed that as long as Yue Xin was there, he would surely be able to figure everything out.

Watching Yuexin finish the bowl of porridge, Ge Xiaoyao finally asked, "Yuexin, how did you end up impersonating Consort De?"

Yuexin smiled sweetly and said, "Brother, why don't you ask me how I got here?"

Seeing her smile, Ge Xiaoyao understood the implication in her words and chuckled, "Did Duomei come with you too?"

Yuexin shook her head and sighed, "I snuck out on my own!"

Seeing the sorrow in Yuexin's expression, Ge Xiaoyao seemed to vaguely understand something... He then asked, "So it was to assassinate King Zhou?"

Yuexin nodded, "Dream Maiden Peak was attacked by demons, Brother Ge already knows, right?"

Ge Xiaoyao said, "Yes, Xiao San'er told me everything!"

A trace of sorrow appeared on Yuexin's face again, and she sighed, "The demons have harmed countless sisters, not even sparing Elder Zi. The First Elder self-destructed, losing her spirit, but thankfully, the Holy Maiden Duomei risked being implicated in the explosion to snatch a wisp of her spirit and send it to Kunlun!" As she spoke, she suddenly changed to a hateful tone, "All of this was caused by that tyrannical and lewd King Zhou!"

Ge Xiaoyao thought for a moment and asked, "So, you ran away from Kunlun to seek revenge on King Zhou?"

Yuexin nodded, "Yes... Brother Ge, you don't know, but I actually infiltrated this palace a few days ago! That day, you told Consort De that you were going hunting with King Zhou, but that was actually me!"

"Damn! So that's how it is..." Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, "No wonder Consort De resorted to witchcraft that day!"

Yue Xin sighed again, "What a pity, what a pity... It was a sure thing to succeed, but it was ruined by that demoness Shi Ji, and we lost several of our sisters!"

Ge Xiaoyao asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the Eight Immortals of Penglai are also members of the Yi sect?"

Yue Xin nodded and smiled slightly, "Uncle Shen brought them in, do you think it was really just to curry favor with that tyrannical King Zhou?"

"Damn! Uncle Shen?" Ge Xiaoyao murmured.

Yue Xin smiled, "Shen Gongbao is Elder Zi's immortal partner and senior brother! Aren't you quite familiar with him?"

"Oh!" Ge Xiaoyao nodded, but a shadow was secretly growing in his heart.

"Since the assassination of King Zhou failed, what are you still doing in the palace? Don't you know how dangerous this is!" Ge Xiaoyao said. He knew that King Zhou's assassination attempt was related to Consort De, and that King Zhou would surely send guards to conduct a thorough search of Consort De's palace, likely investigating the entire inner palace. Although his Paradise Pavilion was secluded, it was still located there. Moreover, the people in the palace were unpredictable, and there were spies everywhere. If it were discovered that a strange woman was hiding in Paradise Pavilion, not only would Yue Xin not be able to escape, but he himself would also be implicated. Unexpectedly,

Yue Xin's expression turned serious, and she said in a deep voice, "Brother Ge, I originally thought that King Zhou's eastern expeditionary force had plotted to attack our Dream Maiden Peak!" She shook her head again, her beautiful eyes filled with resentment, and said, "But that's not the case!"

"Hmm?" Ge Xiaoyao frowned and said, "Not Wen Zhong and the others?" Ge Xiaoyao had also suspected it. Given Wen Zhong's character, he would never use such crooked and evil arts to plot against Dream Maiden Peak. Even if he had a large army pressing in and besieging Dream Maiden Peak, he would not have ordered a group of demons and monsters to attack the Yi tribe's witchcraft sect. But who else but Wen Zhong and his group would harbor such hatred for the Yi tribe's witchcraft, determined to exterminate them all, leaving no one alive, and even commanding a large group of powerful demons to launch a sneak attack? Ge Xiaoyao couldn't imagine it then, and he still couldn't now. However, something seemed to have dawned on him.

"Yes! I finally understand! It wasn't the Shang Dynasty soldiers who attacked our Holy Sect!" Yue Xin said.

"Then who was it?" Ge Xiaoyao asked hastily.

"It was Shi Ji!" Yue Xin said through gritted teeth.

"Damn it!" Ge Xiaoyao gasped inwardly, thinking, "How come it's that old hag again!" He then asked Yue Xin, "Are you really sure it's her?"

Yue Xin said bitterly, "I fought her on Dream Maiden Peak. Although she changed her appearance, her moves remained the same! Even if she turned to ashes, I would still recognize her!"

As she spoke, Yue Xin sighed deeply and said sadly, "Elder Zi was injured by her and captured by those demons, that's why... that's why..." She couldn't finish her sentence.

Ge Xiaoyao, of course, knew what had happened afterward, and he was also very sad. He wanted to comfort her, but the shadow in his heart suddenly cleared up like the sun breaking through the clouds.

"Damn! I know!" Ge Xiaoyao slapped his thigh and said.

Chapter 125 Yuexin's Revenge (Part 2)

"Is this why you stayed in the harem to find me?" Ge Xiaoyao asked.

Yuexin nodded, "Yes, I want to take revenge on Shiji!"

Ge Xiaoyao thought for a moment and said, "Well, do you know who the former Holy Maiden of your Holy Sect was?"

Yuexin shook her head and said, "Former Holy Maiden, I've never heard of her!"

Only then did Ge Xiaoyao understand. Apart from Zi Lingyan and a few leaders of the Holy Sect, no one else knew about the former Holy Maiden's affairs in the palace. Even Shen Gongbao probably didn't know about it.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where did you take the real Consort De?"

Yue Xin smiled, "Although Consort De's face is cold, her heart is not evil. I struck her pressure points and made her sleep in the inner chamber!" Suddenly, she exclaimed, "Oh no! If I escape, King Zhou will surely send men to search Consort De's palace. Wouldn't Consort De be in danger?"

Ge Xiaoyao, however, relaxed and said, "It's alright. King Zhou's guards aren't fools. They must know someone is impersonating Consort De!"

Sure enough, at this moment, Consort De had already been brought before King Zhou.

King Zhou was quite surprised to see Consort De still unconscious.

Shi Ji, who had accompanied King Zhou into the palace, glanced at Consort De lying there, her jade-like body sprawled, and sneered, "Your Majesty, so it was that sorcerer who impersonated Consort De. The real Consort De has been struck by pressure points and is sleeping here!"

Saying this, she stepped forward and released Consort De's pressure points.

Consort De slowly awoke, glanced at King Zhou, then at Shi Ji and the guards beside her, wondering what had happened.

King Zhou smiled and said, "My beauty, do you know you were attacked?"

Consort De, her face weary, shook her head and said, "I was watching the fish by the lake when I suddenly felt a numbness in my waist, and then I felt so tired that I fell asleep! When I woke up, I was here!"

King Zhou added, "Hmm, that's it! It's alright now, escort Consort De back to the palace to rest!"

King Zhou's decree had been given, and although Consort De didn't understand the reason, she didn't ask any further questions, allowing two female guards to help her out of the Star-Picking Tower.

King Zhou let out a long sigh and said to Shi Ji, "Today's events were all thanks to your help, fairy; otherwise, my life would have been lost at the hands of that demon!"

Shi Ji smiled charmingly, saying with captivating grace, "Your Majesty, there's no need for such politeness. It is my good fortune to serve Your Majesty!" As she spoke, her eyes sparkled, gazing at King Zhou with tender affection.

King Zhou was overjoyed to have survived such a calamity and to have Consort De unharmed. Then, seeing this fairy-like beauty teasing him, he could hardly resist. However, due to the fairy Shi Ji's status, he dared not harbor any impure thoughts and was at a loss for what to do.

Shi Ji approached King Zhou and said sweetly, "This fairy wishes to offer herself to Your Majesty. Does Your Majesty find this fairy too ugly?"

King Zhou was delighted. "Not at all, not at all! It's just that Your Majesty's status is noble; how could I dare to have any improper thoughts!" Although he said this, his hands involuntarily reached out towards Shi Ji.

"Hmph, truly a debauched king!" Having succeeded in her scheme, Shi Ji pressed herself even closer to King Zhou, letting his large hands caress her body. She said, "Your Majesty, as the Emperor, it is a rare blessing for me to receive your favor!"

King Zhou, hearing these words, felt half his body go numb. Gazing at her phoenix eyes brimming with spring, her blushing cheeks, her fiery red lips, and her long, slender, white neck, he chuckled lewdly, finally mustering his courage. He forcefully pulled Shi Ji into his arms, instantly feeling the fragrant breeze and the warm, soft jade in his embrace—an indescribable pleasure.

Holding the boneless, fairy-like beauty in his arms, King Zhou became somewhat carried away, laughing heartily as he carried Shi Ji towards the bed.

The next day, in the court, all the officials had arrived. However, today, their gazes were not focused on King Zhou, but rather entirely on the woman beside him with a face that could topple kingdoms.

"Who is that woman?" Whispers began to circulate among the officials.

"I don't know, but she looks like a celestial maiden!"

"I really don't know where the King found her!"

"By the King's decree, the celestial maiden Shi Ji is hereby conferred the title of Imperial Concubine, with the title of Immortal Consort!" After the guards relayed the decree, the court officials were astonished. They had no idea that an imperial concubine had appeared out of nowhere. Ge Xiaoyao, surprised that Shi Ji had such a scheme, was also taken aback. Only Shen Gongbao smiled secretly

. "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Greetings to the Immortal Consort!" A chorus of shouts erupted in the court .

King Zhou smiled smugly and waved to the officials, saying, "Yesterday, I went hunting at Chaoge Mountain and was attacked by demonic assassins!"

The officials gasped in alarm.

King Zhou then said, "Fortunately, the celestial maiden descended from the heavens and repelled the demon, thus saving my life."

The courtiers gasped in surprise again, but no one looked at the rocky islet once more.

"The fairy Shiji is of the highest beauty, and her offering herself to me is my greatest fortune!" King Zhou said. "Of course, it is also because my Great Shang Dynasty built the Deer Terrace and sincerely prayed to Heaven."

The ministers shouted, "Great fortune to my king! May the Great Shang Dynasty prosper forever!"

King Zhou chuckled and said, "The magnificent construction of the Deer Terrace has been completed in just over a month, and Heaven has sent a fairy to assist me. This is an extremely auspicious omen! I have decided that tomorrow at noon, on the Deer Terrace, we will hold a grand ceremony to accept a concubine and pray to Heaven. The whole of Great Shang will celebrate for three days!"

The ministers stood up and shouted again, "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Damn! This King Zhou is really something. He actually took a vixen as a fairy and even wants to hold a grand ceremony to accept a concubine and pray to Heaven. This must be Shen Gongbao's idea!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, but he was not interested in these matters. He joined the ministers in shouting a few times and then quietly left the court.

The palace, the Pleasure Pavilion, by the lake.

When Ge Xiaoyao told Yuexin about Shiji becoming a fairy consort, Yuexin said bitterly, "That witch must have ill intentions!"

Ge Xiaoyao thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid Shen Gongbao is already on her side! We must find a way to stop them!"

Yuexin nodded, her eyes filled with incomparable resentment and determination, and said, "Brother Ge, you can't get involved now. You just need to do me a favor!"

Ge Xiaoyao asked, "What favor?"

"Help me assassinate Shiji!" Yuexin said.

Ge Xiaoyao shook his head, "You're no match for her! I won't let you take that risk!"

Yue Xin sighed, "No matter what, I can't just watch that vixen Shi Ji live! Brother Ge, didn't you say you'd be holding a concubine-taking ceremony tomorrow?"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded, "Yes, the Deer Terrace has just been built, and King Zhou has gained a celestial concubine. The concubine-taking and celestial-wish ceremony will be held on the Deer Terrace!"

Yue Xin hesitated for a moment, "Brother Ge, can you let me sneak in?"

Ge Xiaoyao said, "No, you absolutely cannot go!"

Yue Xin said resolutely, "Brother Ge, I'm begging you! I was saved by Elder Zi. If I don't avenge Elder Zi, I can't live another day in this world!"

"Shi Ji is highly skilled; whether you can succeed is another matter!" Ge Xiaoyao thought for a moment and said, "When you attempted the assassination that day, King Zhou was already on edge. He will definitely conduct a very strict search, and it will be difficult for you to sneak in!"

In fact, Ge Xiaoyao had already thought that Yan Qiang's death must be related to Shi Ji and Shen Gongbao. If Yan Qiang were alive, King Zhou probably wouldn't have taken Shi Ji as his concubine so quickly. Moreover, in terms of seduction, Yan Qiang was indeed many times better than Shi Ji.

Yuexin nodded, then suddenly smiled sweetly at Ge Xiaoyao, "Big brother, come here!"

Ge Xiaoyao approached Yuexin, who turned and hugged him, asking, "Big brother, are you really not letting me go?"

"Damn it! Of course! Going there would be suicide, how could I let you go!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, but said aloud, "It's not that I don't want you to go, it's just that the time isn't right yet! A gentleman takes revenge in ten years..." Ge Xiaoyao

had just said this when he suddenly felt a numbness in his waist, and a huge wave of drowsiness washed over him. Yuexin's smiling face before him became blurry. "Yuexin, you..."

Yuexin smiled and said, "Brother Ge, a gentleman takes revenge in ten days, let alone ten years? You should sleep well... I'm going now!"

Ge Xiaoyao watched Yuexin's figure gradually disappear into the distance, but his eyelids wouldn't lift, and he really drifted off to sleep.

Seeing that Ge Xiaoyao was indeed asleep, Yuexin quietly returned, carried him to the inner room, laid him flat on the bed, and undressed him. She then said softly, "Brother Ge, it's not that I didn't listen to you, but this grudge must be settled. Please forgive Yuexin this time!"

Ge Xiaoyao was already snoring.

Yuexin put Ge Xiaoyao's clothes on, compared them to his appearance, closed her eyes, and raised her two jade-like hands, swirling them. A crystalline blue light flashed. The beautiful Yuexin had transformed into the dashing Ge Xiaoyao.

She smiled at Ge Xiaoyao on the bed before turning and leaving.

"Thump, thump... thump!" Three drumbeats sounded, and the straight Gui Tian pole standing on the Jie Xian Terrace above the Deer Terrace had vanished.

Tens of thousands of officials and commoners had gathered above and below the Deer Terrace.

"Noon has arrived, the ceremony for the selection of a consort and the prayer to Heaven officially begins!" A loud, shrill voice announced, followed by a succession of messengers relaying the message.

The large orchestra, led by the musician Shi Juan, began to play, and instantly the entire Deer Terrace resounded with drums and ethereal music. Led by the officials of rites, King Zhou, accompanied by his newly appointed consort Shi Ji, slowly ascended the Deer Terrace along the crimson carpet.

According to the procedure, first, officials from the Ministry of Rites read the Shang Ancestor's Prayer for the Selection of a Consort, which was essentially a lavish praise of the consort and the king, followed by instructions for the consort to manage the inner chambers, assist the king in revitalizing the Shang dynasty, and then the matter of ensuring the Shang dynasty's prosperity for generations to come—nothing particularly noteworthy. This will be omitted here.

Next, senior officials of the court prayed to Heaven, conveying the achievements of the Shang dynasty in recent years, and presented sacrificial offerings of three hundred whole cattle, pigs, and sheep.

Finally, the person who facilitated the union of the new consort and the king would offer wine to the new consort and the king, and offer their blessings.

Logically, Shen Gongbao should have been the one to bring Shi Ji and King Zhou together, but King Zhou was unaware of this. The only people who had confirmed their relationship, besides Shen Gongbao who was presiding over the prayer ceremony, were Ge Xiaoyao. Therefore, this heavy responsibility naturally fell on Ge Xiaoyao's shoulders.

"Please, Marquis Anle, offer wine to the King's new queen!" the master of ceremonies announced.

Ge Xiaoyao, dressed in the loose court robes of Marquis Anle, carefully ascended each step, carrying a pot and cups.

The music and drums blared. Shi Juan, who had previously received favors from Ge Xiaoyao, naturally offered his full support at this moment of Ge Xiaoyao's prominence, directing his men to make the music resound for miles around.

Shi Ji saw Ge Xiaoyao respectfully approach, raise his cup to pour wine, and then present the cup to her with both hands. Although she was dissatisfied with Ge Xiaoyao, she still wanted to subdue him according to the Tongtian Sect Master's wishes. She thought that once she became a celestial concubine, Ge Xiaoyao would be under her control, and over time, even the strongest man could be bent by her.

Shi Ji took the wine cup and was drinking opposite King Zhou when she suddenly saw a sinister smile on Ge Xiaoyao's face.

"Your Majesty, something's wrong!" Before Shi Ji could finish speaking, Ge Xiaoyao suddenly sprang up, his hand flashing with cold light as he thrust towards Shi Ji. At such close range, there was no chance to dodge.

Chapter 126 Yue Xin's Revenge (Part 2)

"Damn it! What is that damned Yue Xin doing!" Ge Xiaoyao woke up with a terrible headache, not knowing how long he had slept. He lifted the quilt and felt a chill. Seeing that he was completely naked, an ominous thought surged within him. "Oh no, Yuexin must have gone to assassinate Shiji!"

He hurriedly got up, grabbed a few clothes, and rushed out of the Pleasure Pavilion, running straight towards the Deer Terrace. "Damn! I didn't expect Yuexin to dare do this!"

Ge Xiaoyao knew that although King Zhou's concubine-taking and immortal-praying ceremony was strictly guarded, his special status would ensure he wouldn't be harassed, and he might even have a chance to get close to King Zhou and Shiji. Yuexin must have thought of this too, which was why she knocked him unconscious and dressed him.

In truth, in a direct confrontation, Ge Xiaoyao might not necessarily lose to Yue Xin, given their current skill levels. However, he was caught off guard, while Yue Xin had deliberately plotted against him, naturally succeeding in one move. "This girl, why is she so disobedient? Isn't she courting death?" Ge Xiaoyao thought anxiously, his pace quickening as he wished he could rush to Lutai and stop Yue Xin immediately. Shi Ji's skill was several times higher than theirs; the chances of successfully ambushing her were practically zero.

Ge Xiaoyao was also fortunate; since his immortal root entered his body and he had cultivated for so long, his physique and skill had improved rapidly. Therefore, although Yue Xin had struck his pressure points to induce unconsciousness, she had only made him sleep for a short while before he woke up early. Seeing that it was just noon, Ge Xiaoyao thought that if he moved quickly, he might still make it in time.

Just then, a pure white, lotus-shaped cloud slowly drifted into the sky above Chaoge City. On the cloud, a beautiful woman with a human face and a snake's body appeared—none other than the ancient immortal who mended the heavens, the Goddess Nuwa. Her face was serene as she glanced at the bustling Chaoge City and asked, "Nine Foxes, why is the Grand Merchant Guild holding such a grand ceremony? Do you know?"

The one called Nine Foxes was a maidservant beside her, her graceful figure alluring, her beauty striking, especially her peach-apricot phoenix eyes, which occasionally revealed a hint of seductive charm. This was none other than the nine-tailed fox spirit from Xuanyuan Tomb, who had attempted to capture Ge Xiaoyao at the Hundred Herbs Cliff of Mengnv Peak in Dongyi, but was subdued by Nuwa's avatar.

The nine-tailed fox looked down and hurriedly said, "King Zhou recently listened to Shen Gongbao, a disciple of the Kunlun Primordial Ancestor, and built a Deer Terrace to receive immortal energy and pray for the people. He also took a new concubine, which is why he is holding this grand ceremony!"

Nuwa nodded, closed her eyes and remained silent. Suddenly, she opened her eyes slightly and said, "The immortal destined for tribulation has arrived. Please come up quickly!"

The nine-tailed fox was confused, not knowing what Nuwa meant. Just as she was about to ask, she heard an old voice from below the clouds say, "Kunlun disciple Jiang Ziya requests an audience with Goddess Nuwa!"

It turned out that the Shang Dynasty was holding a grand ceremony to pray for immortality. Normally, all the immortals in the mortal realm would be present, but Shen Gongbao was afraid that this would expose Shi Ji's identity. So he just pretended to chant and put on a show on the Deer Terrace. He even mobilized the Wind God and Rain Master of Chaoge to spread a cloud in the sky, creating a huge immortal aura.

Unexpectedly, this action not only alarmed Nuwa but also his senior brother Jiang Ziya, who lived far away in the countryside of Chaoge. Jiang Ziya had no interest in this so-called ceremony of taking concubines and praying for immortality. He calculated the truth with his fingers and went straight to the clouds to see Nuwa.

The nine-tailed fox demon did not know who was destined for this calamity, but seeing someone requesting an audience, she quickly removed her magical protective barrier and let Jiang Ziya in.

Jiang Ziya was quite surprised to see the nine-tailed fox demon, but seeing that Nuwa was real, he stepped forward and said, "Jiang Ziya, disciple of Kunlun, greets Goddess Nuwa!"

Nuwa nodded, noticing Jiang Ziya's white beard and eyebrows, his graceful demeanor, and his air of an immortal. She thought to herself, "It seems I haven't chosen the wrong person to face this calamity!" She then said, "Fellow Daoist Ziya, you will one day be a high immortal. There's no need for formalities now!"

Jiang Ziya then looked directly at Nuwa, but then glanced at the nine-tailed fox demon, unsure of what to say. After a moment's thought, he said, "Goddess Nuwa, what divine guidance do you have for me in this mortal realm?"

Nuwa's beautiful eyes were deep, and she had already seen through Jiang Ziya's thoughts. She said, "Fellow Daoist Ziya..." "Could it be that there's a prejudice between immortals and demons?"

Jiang Ziya, unaware of Nuwa's sudden change of topic, hurriedly replied, "The irreconcilable conflict between immortals and demons is a settled matter. I don't understand the hidden meaning in Your Majesty's words; please enlighten me."

Nuwa smiled and said, "Although immortals and demons are different, it's only a difference in their physical forms. As long as their hearts are good, they are of the same kind, like animals and birds. They are all human beings, except for their appearance!"

Jiang Ziya said, "There's a saying that the human heart is unpredictable, and good and evil are often separated by a single thought. Demonic nature is fickle, and it's difficult to judge!" As she spoke, she glanced at the nine-tailed fox demon, clearly referring to her words.

Nuwa was somewhat displeased and said, "Fellow Daoist Ziya, you are mistaken. The Great God Pangu created chaos, the Patriarch Hongjun established the Immortal Sect, and I mended the heavens with stones to comply with the Heavenly Way. I have a snake's body and a human head; am I not also a demon?"

At this point, Jiang Ziya's palms were already sweating profusely. He immediately replied, "Your Majesty is the Heavenly Mother of Man, with a compassionate and benevolent heart, saving the world. I would never dare to call Your Majesty a demon."

Nuwa continued, "That's good. You must know that although immortals and demons are different, they are equally divided into good and evil! Although King Zhou is tyrannical, if he has a repentant heart, we should still do our best to protect him to prevent countless people from suffering! Therefore, you should find an opportunity to speak to King Zhou, instructing him to go to the Nuwa Temple to offer sacrifices to me on the eighth day of the ninth month. I will then have something to say to him!"

Jiang Ziya quickly agreed, accepted the order, and took his leave.

Nuwa suddenly smiled knowingly and said to the nine-tailed fox, "Nine-tailed fox, what do you think of this person?"

The nine-tailed fox replied, "This humble fox's cultivation is shallow; I dare not presume to comment on a master!" In her heart

, however, she thought disdainfully, "This person is extremely pedantic and harbors deep prejudice against demons. Hmph, if I have the chance, I will definitely make him taste my power!" The nine-tailed fox's words were contradictory, but Nuwa remained silent, only responding with a faint smile.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ziya offended the nine-tailed fox at this time because of the distinction between immortals and demons, and later suffered greatly, his path to immortality filled with many hardships. But that's a story for later, not to be mentioned here.

Now, Ge Xiaoyao quickly arrived outside the Deer Terrace, but was stopped by the guards.

The guards knew that there was already a Marquis of Anle inside, currently offering a toast to the King and the Fairy Consort Shiji. Suddenly, another Marquis of Anle rushed out, leaving them unsure what to do. If they mistook him for a demon, they feared he might truly be the Marquis of Anle; if they let him in, they worried he might be an imposter. One of the guards, a quick-witted fellow, immediately and politely persuaded Ge Xiaoyao to stay, while secretly sending someone inside to inform King Zhou.

Meanwhile, on the Deer Terrace and the Immortal Receiving Platform, a fierce battle was taking place.

King Zhou was positioned to the side, tightly protected by the guards. Shiji, however, was locked in combat with Marquis of Anle, Ge Xiaoyao, the fight fierce and evenly matched.

"Report... Marquis of Anle is requesting an audience outside!" the messenger soldier shouted, seemingly oblivious to the situation.

This sudden turn of events left King Zhou and his generals completely bewildered. King Zhou had been confused when Ge Xiaoyao suddenly drew his blade to stab Shi Ji, and the guards, familiar with Ge Xiaoyao, were also caught off guard and hesitant to act. Shi Ji, now in her celestial form, couldn't use her magic, fearing the court's experts would see through her, and thus restrained herself considerably, managing to fight Yue Xin, who was impersonating Ge Xiaoyao, to a standstill.

Upon hearing the name of Marquis Anle, Yue Xin tensed, her hand slowing, allowing Shi Ji to seize the opportunity and strike her right leg with a finger strike. Yue Xin groaned and fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of the crowd's distraction, Shi Ji secretly used her magic, a faint purple light enveloping Yue Xin, instantly restoring her to her original appearance. "Your Majesty, the assassin has been captured by your humble servant!"

The crowd gasped in astonishment as they looked at Marquis Anle, now transformed into a beautiful woman. The guards immediately realized that the Marquis of Anle they had just seen was actually her in disguise. They rallied, swarming forward, a dozen swords and spears pointed at Yuexin.

King Zhou immediately shouted, "Quickly, bring Marquis of Anle in!"

Yuexin, lying on the ground, saw Ge Xiaoyao approaching quickly, a guilty smile appearing on her face.

"Damn it! I'll fight to the death!" Ge Xiaoyao, seeing Yuexin captured, was furious and frantically searching for a solution when suddenly, a loud bang rang out, and Yuexin's entire body transformed into a shower of blood, scattering over everyone. This sudden turn of

events abruptly ended King Zhou's grand ceremony for taking a concubine and praying for immortality. With Yuexin dead, Ge Xiaoyao, filled with grief, could only claim he had been attacked and knocked unconscious by a sorcerer to clear his name.

Yuexin's true identity was now unknown, but everyone knew she was the sorceress who had impersonated Consort De to assassinate King Zhou during the hunt at Chaoge Mountain. King Zhou did not pursue the matter further, instead offering words of comfort and telling him to rest well.

Ge Xiaoyao was heartbroken. Using the excuse that he hadn't fully recovered, he recuperated at the Paradise Pavilion, diligently practicing his immortal arts. His hatred for Shen Gongbao and Shi Ji intensified.

Shi Ji's seductive skills were formidable, bewitching King Zhou, who spent his days indulging in pleasure, and all state affairs gradually fell into Shen Gongbao's hands.

Ge Xiaoyao ignored all other matters, focusing solely on cultivation. In a short time, his immortal arts progressed rapidly. On this day, he created a new technique called the Bewitching Immortal Technique. It combined invisibility, wall-penetrating abilities, and martial arts techniques. When used, besides the falling autumn leaves and the misty snow, he himself moved through the air like an invisible immortal. Although it lacked significant offensive power, it was sufficient to confuse the enemy.

As Ge Xiaoyao finished his training, it was already broad daylight. Suddenly, he heard someone outside the door announce, "King Zhou summons you!"

When Ge Xiaoyao arrived at the Deer Terrace, he found that the entire Deer Terrace was completely different from before. It was filled with gold, silver, jade, and precious stones, with golden pillars and jade walls, fine wine and incense candles. Moreover, there were twice as many beauties as before from the Star-Picking Tower. According to the familiar maids, King Zhou had been practicing the immortality technique with the fairy consort every day.

"Damn it! He can live forever with that old hag Shi Ji? It's good enough that he hasn't died yet!" Ge Xiaoyao cursed inwardly. He climbed the Deer Terrace and saw King Zhou groaning while pressing his head.

"Damn it! No way, King Zhou's headache has flared up again?" Ge Xiaoyao was shocked.

Chapter 127 Holy Maiden Consort (Part 1)

Chaoge City, Imperial Palace, Deer Terrace.

Ge Xiaoyao vaguely saw a white shadow. Judging from the graceful curves of her figure, it should be a woman.

However, the woman was elusive, swaying in the wind like a tree branch.

Her hair was long, flowing down to her chest, her eyes were lifeless, blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and she seemed to be smiling eerily.

"Hmph!" Shi Ji snorted coldly, and a long sword suddenly materialized in her hand. Without moving her body, the sword flew out of the window on its own.

Shen Gongbao also roared, and similarly flung out a three-foot-long, golden wooden staff. It moved with the wind, like a golden snake, wagging its tail and lunging towards the white figure outside the window.

Ge Xiaoyao guarded King Zhou, nervously watching the window, and for some reason, he was sweating for the white-clad woman.

King Zhou had stopped groaning and looked out the window with his head in his hands. He was shocked by the golden staff snake and the light of the sword, and his mouth remained agape for a long time.

"Damn! It's good to have magic weapons. Even if they're not powerful, showing them off is impressive enough!" Ge Xiaoyao thought. If he hadn't personally witnessed Jiang Ziya's Apricot Yellow Banner magic weapon, he would have been intimidated by Shen Gongbao and Shi Ji. However, it now seems their magic chamber is nothing special, not particularly powerful; at least the white-clad woman outside hasn't been hit.

The ethereal woman moved with graceful agility, casually dodging the two flying magical artifacts, her body gradually tinged with a dark red, the red light growing increasingly vibrant and bright, making it impossible to look directly at her.

Shen Gongbao, frustrated by his prolonged attack, saw the female ghost suddenly turn red. He gritted his teeth, pulled a small iron-colored gourd from his robes, and chanted "Hurry!" The gourd instantly grew to over half a person's height, still flying outwards. As it approached the female ghost, it suddenly spewed out an even more dazzling flame.

Seeing the flame approaching, the female ghost didn't dodge; instead, she curled up and charged forward to meet it.

"Not good! It's a ghost attack... Imperial Preceptor, quickly retrieve your magic weapon!" Shi Ji shouted suddenly. Her sword was immediately retrieved like a meteor, but before Shen Gongbao could react, the female ghost and the flames spewed from the iron gourd collided violently with a loud boom, and flames taller than a person rose outside the window.

After the flames died down, everything was empty.

Shen Gongbao's face turned ashen, unable to believe that his two magical treasures had been destroyed. After a long while, he said angrily, "Witch, I, Shen Gongbao, am sworn to be your enemy!"

Shi Ji said, "Grand Preceptor, there's no need to be angry. Now that the female ghost has been eliminated, Your Majesty's headache can be cured. What are two mere magical treasures?!"

Shen Gongbao then came to his senses and said, "Your Highness is absolutely right. I, Shen Gongbao, am ashamed!"

With the female ghost eliminated, King Zhou's headache immediately subsided considerably, and he laughed, "Your Highness is right. What are two mere magical treasures? Grand Preceptor, you may take any weapon in the Shang Dynasty you see!"

Shen Gongbao hurriedly declined, "Two mere small magical treasures are not worth Your Majesty's concern!" He then turned to Shi Ji and said, "Your Highness, I wonder what kind of sorcery that Ghostly Spell was? How could it be so powerful?!"

Shi Ji said, "The Ghostly Spell originated from the Eastern Yi, it is..." "A powerful sorceress can create ghost substitutes from living people. In a moment of desperation, she can use one to perish with her enemy. It's extremely powerful; no matter how powerful a master or magical artifact, it will be destroyed in an instant."

Shen Gongbao nodded and said, "I see!"

Ge Xiaoyao secretly gasped, "If a ghost substitute is this powerful, how powerful must its true owner be? But these ghost substitutes are quite good. If we had the chance to create a thousand or a hundred, we would be invincible!"

Shi Ji said, "Moreover, making these ghost substitutes doesn't require much magical power, it just takes a long time, and only one can be made! So, although the Grand Preceptor lost two magical artifacts this time, the sorceress who assassinated the King was also severely injured. We not only didn't lose, but we won!"

Hearing Shi Ji say this, Shen Gongbao's worry turned to joy.

King Zhou, who had remained silent because he didn't understand what the ghostly substitute was saying, clearly heard the words "on the contrary, they won!" and exclaimed with delight, "Since we have won so greatly, we should celebrate! Prepare fine wine and delicacies, I want to reward the Fairy Consort, the Imperial Advisor, and Marquis Anle!"

Shi Ji, however, said, "Your Majesty, that demon has been severely injured and may not be willing to give up so easily. I hope Your Majesty will not leave the palace for the next few days. Your Majesty, I and the Imperial Advisor will accompany you to ensure your safety!"

King Zhou said, "Of course, now I can only trust you!"

"Damn it! You old hag, what tricks are you up to now!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, "If I let you truly gain a foothold in this palace, where will I, Ge Xiaoyao, benefit? No, I must think of a way!"

Before long, the banquet was served, and King Zhou was overjoyed. He embraced Shi Ji and drank heartily with Shen Gongbao and Ge Xiaoyao.

Seeing Shen Gongbao's sullen and listless appearance, King Zhou assumed he was still distressed about the damaged magical artifacts and laughed, "Grand Preceptor, don't be sad. Tomorrow, I will open the imperial treasury, and you can choose any rare treasures you desire. I will surely replace your two magical artifacts, how about that?"

Shen Gongbao replied, "It's not that the magical artifacts are damaged and it's that the demon has not yet been captured, and I am still uneasy!"

King Zhou said, "Not at all, not at all. With several wise ministers here, I have no worries... no worries..."

Ge Xiaoyao sneered inwardly, "Damn! He's not distressed about the magical artifacts, he's distressed about King Zhou, he's distressed about Shi Ji! This Shen Gongbao, he's quite the jealous one!"

When Ge Xiaoyao returned to the Pleasure Pavilion, he was slightly drunk. The series of events that had occurred in recent days had left him somewhat exhausted. Back in his inner room, just as he was about to lie down, he discovered someone lying on the bed.

Beyond the brocade quilt, a rounded, fragrant shoulder was revealed, her beautiful hair cascading down the bedside. Ge Xiaoyao was initially surprised, but upon closer inspection, it was Yu Lu.

He rubbed his eyes and looked again; it was indeed Yu Lu. "When did you recover?" Ge Xiaoyao was overjoyed and about to ask.

Yu Lu, however, murmured as if in a dream, and extended a jade-like hand from within the quilt, pulling Ge Xiaoyao down onto the bed. "Brother Ge, don't ask, let's sleep!" Her cherry-red lips parted slightly, arousing desire.

Ge Xiaoyao almost kissed her, but suddenly felt a cool, hard sensation on his chest. He abruptly realized that it was Yu Lu's true form, and a shiver ran through him. He quickly pulled away from the jade-like hand's embrace, shouting sharply, "Who are you?!"

"Hahaha..." Yu Lu on the bed suddenly sat up, letting out a seductive laugh. Her hands touched her face, and her expression instantly changed.

"Shi Ji, it's you!" Ge Xiaoyao exclaimed.

"Why can't it be me? Brother Yao..." Shi Ji said seductively, "Shen Gongbao has already been sent back, and King Zhou is already asleep. Now it's just the two of us... um..." Her eyes were like silk, teasing Ge Xiaoyao wantonly.

"What are you doing here?" Ge Xiaoyao ignored her seductive charm and frowned.

"Brother Yao, don't be angry! I was just testing whether you still have feelings for my Yu Lu sister?" Shi Ji laughed.

"Hmph!" Ge Xiaoyao sneered. Not mentioning Yu Lu would have been one thing, but Ge Xiaoyao was now burning with anger.

"Oh..." Shi Ji chuckled, "I didn't expect Brother Yao to have such a temper! Yu Lu isn't here, can't I, as your older sister, serve you?"

"Hmph... Excuse me, Your Highness, if there's nothing else, please go back quickly, otherwise it won't sound good if someone finds you in my Pleasure Pavilion!" Ge Xiaoyao said coldly, emphasizing the words "Your Highness," full of sarcasm.

"Ge Xiaoyao, don't you really feel anything?" Shi Ji suddenly smiled mysteriously.

"What do you mean?" Ge Xiaoyao asked.

"Really nothing?..." Shi Ji asked again, slowly lifting the brocade quilt, immediately revealing her voluptuous body.

"Bitch!" Ge Xiaoyao cursed inwardly, realizing that Shi Ji was completely naked under the quilt!

Shi Ji giggled again, and Ge Xiaoyao's eyes swept over her full, snow-white breasts, but he felt a little dizzy.

"Brother Yao, do you feel anything now?" Shi Ji smiled seductively.

"Damn it! I'm usually the one who seduces others, no one's ever seduce me before. Damn it, I've really messed up today..." Ge Xiaoyao's head was spinning, and his mind was becoming hazy. He frowned and cursed, "Witch, what have you done?!"

Shi Ji laughed and said, "What witch? Look again, who am I?"

Ge Xiaoyao shook his head violently and focused his attention on the bed. But there was no sign of Shi Ji. It was clearly Consort De smiling at him.

"Consort De?" Ge Xiaoyao murmured to himself. His vision blurred, and the person on the bed changed to Empress Jiang...

"Your Majesty the Empress?" Ge Xiaoyao shook his head, but it was Yan Qiang's innocent eyes.

"Yan Qiang? Oh no, Consort Zhuang, how could it be you?..."

A burst of wild laughter jolted Ge Xiaoyao awake. Ge Xiaoyao steadied himself and saw that there was still only Shi Ji on the bed. He shook his head violently again, but it was still Shi Ji laughing wildly.

"What a charming physician, what an amorous healer... I never imagined that none of the concubines in the Shang Palace could escape your clutches! Hahaha..." Shi Ji continued to laugh wildly.

"Witch, what nonsense are you spouting?!" Ge Xiaoyao shouted sharply, but a chill ran through his heart. He thought to himself, "Damn it! This is no joke. To defile the harem is a crime punishable by the execution of the entire family. Although I, Ge Xiaoyao, have no family, my head is still precious!"

Shi Ji gave another seductive laugh, "Nonsense? I just slipped aphrodisiac into your wine..."

"Damn it! Aphrodisiac..." Ge Xiaoyao felt a chill run down his spine. As a physician, he knew exactly what aphrodisiac was. He could name every woman who had recently slept with someone who had taken it. Could it be that those were all hallucinations?

"Damn Shi Ji!" Ge Xiaoyao cursed inwardly, calming himself before asking, "What exactly do you want?"

Shi Ji, however, adopted a coquettish demeanor, her delicate, snow-white body writhing restlessly. "Brother Yao, I don't want to do anything, I just miss you!"

Ge Xiaoyao felt dizzy again. "Hmph! Speak quickly, you vixen!"

Shi Ji laughed wildly. "Hasn't Marquis Anle understood yet? I want to test your skills..." As she spoke, she slowly unfolded her body.

"Pah!" Ge Xiaoyao cursed, but then chuckled. "What if I don't want to?"

"It's alright..." Shi Ji said calmly. "In the wine you just drank, besides the love potion, there was also..."

Before Shi Ji could finish, Ge Xiaoyao already knew what it was, because he clearly felt a sudden, intense heat rise in his lower abdomen, as if a blazing fire serpent had entered it.

Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, "It's over!" His consciousness blurred again. In his hazy state, he felt his body gradually heating up, becoming hot. He breathed heavily, his mouth parched, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the snow-white, alluring body on the bed.

Chapter 128 Holy Maiden Consort (Part 2)

"Brother Ge, aren't you going to follow me now, follow the Jie Sect?" Shi Ji moved her body slightly, a large expanse of her white flesh rubbing against Ge Xiaoyao's body, and she smiled seductively.

Ge Xiaoyao groaned. Although the intense desire was attracting him, he seemed to maintain a sliver of calm. "Shi Ji, you vixen, don't even think about it!"

Shi Ji sneered, her slender fingers gently stroking Ge Xiaoyao's forehead, which was already covered in sweat. She inserted her wet fingers into her cherry-red mouth and suddenly let out an extremely seductive moan. Her captivating eyes seemed capable of drawing any man's body in.

Ge Xiaoyao felt a surge of heat rush to his head, his vision suddenly went black, and his body felt like it was about to explode. "Shi Ji, what exactly do you want to do?!"

Shi Ji laughed. "Brother Ge, you know..." she said leisurely, "Since I can become King Zhou's most favored fairy concubine, I naturally have the ability to send you to be burned alive!"

"Hmph!" Ge Xiaoyao felt a chill in his heart, but he managed to suppress his surging desires slightly, and his swollen body felt a little more comfortable. "I understand now, Yan Qiang was your doing, wasn't she?!"

Shi Ji laughed wildly. "You finally understand, that's right, Yan Qiang was my obstacle, of course I had to kick her away!"

Ge Xiaoyao admitted to Shi Ji, and the boundless anger in his heart reignited, but he restrained himself and sneered, "So, joining the Jie Sect isn't so bad after all! But now, let me tell you, Shi Ji, even if I die, I will not join the Jie Sect!"

Shi Ji hadn't expected Ge Xiaoyao to be able to withstand the strong aphrodisiac and her seductive arts for so long, and now he would rather die than submit. She was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Ge Xiaoyao is indeed Ge Xiaoyao, very well! Since you..." "If you have no intention of joining my Jie Sect, then I won't play with you here! But you'd better watch out, your body might explode... Hahaha..."

Shi Ji laughed loudly, and touched Ge Xiaoyao's sensitive areas a few more times. Ge Xiaoyao immediately felt the fiery snake in his lower abdomen begin to surge wildly again. He tried to struggle, but he had no strength at all. "Damn it! This damned Shi Ji! She actually combined anesthesia and aphrodisiac, making me unable to move!"

Shi Ji continued, "Ge Xiaoyao, I won't kill you, but don't expect me to save you! Tomorrow, perhaps King Zhou will know that his Marquis Anle died because he mistakenly took a large amount of aphrodisiac, hahaha..."

Ge Xiaoyao barely controlled his burning, exploding body, and gritted his teeth, "Shi Ji, you're ruthless! I, Ge Xiaoyao, will haunt you even as a ghost!"

"Ghost?" Shi Ji said, "I'm so scared!" Then she burst into another burst of wild laughter. With a swift movement, her clothes automatically appeared on her naked body. She then touched Ge Xiaoyao's cheek and sighed, "What a strong body! It would be such a pity to die like this, Brother Ge... If you beg me now... it's not too late!"

Ge Xiaoyao snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Shi Ji gave a sinister laugh, her body transforming into a gust of wind as she flew out of the window, but the window and doors closed automatically without any wind.

"Damn it! Shi Ji...you're so damn vicious!" Ge Xiaoyao cursed Shi Ji's ancestors to the eighteenth generation in his heart, then smiled bitterly to himself: "After all these years of practicing medicine and aphrodisiacs, am I going to die from aphrodisiac drugs? It's fucking ridiculous!"

Ge Xiaoyao naturally understood that the aphrodisiac in his body was extremely potent. If he hadn't already possessed an immortal body, his entire body would have already burst open. Moreover, Shi Ji seemed to have also given him a numbing drug, leaving him completely weak and unable to find an antidote. In fact, Ge Xiaoyao knew that the only one who could save him now was a woman. The aphrodisiac had already penetrated deep into his internal organs, and any antidote would be ineffective.

Ge Xiaoyao silently recited a few immortal incantations, but to no avail. His body was burning hot, his skin was swollen and red, and his whole body was like a furnace, evaporating the sweat that flowed out. At this moment, the aphrodisiac's potent effects hadn't fully taken hold. If another half hour passed, he feared he wouldn't die from the bloating, but rather from dehydration caused by his own burning lust.

The only way to alleviate the toxic fire of lust within him was to breathe deeply, releasing a little heat. However, Ge Xiaoyao felt his lips and tongue were parched, almost cracking, each breath tearing at his wounds with excruciating pain.

"Damn it! This is so shameful! Am I, Ge Xiaoyao, really destined to die from lust?" Ge Xiaoyao strained with all his might to move, but it was useless. He could barely speak, let alone struggle. "So poisonous... Shi Ji!" Ge Xiaoyao began to wonder what Shi Ji had done. First, she conspired with Shen Gongbao to kill Yan Qiang, then she used the guise of a fairy to have a secret rendezvous with King Zhou, then she set a trap to lure Yue Xin into assassinating King Zhou, only to save the heroine and ascend to the throne of a celestial concubine. But what was she ultimately after? Moreover, Mengnv Peak had nothing to do with her, yet she led a horde of demons to raze it to the ground, sparing not a single soul. What grand conspiracy lay behind this?

"Damn it! I need to figure out why I died!" Ge Xiaoyao's body swelled with lust, forcing her to shift her attention to these matters. However, consumed by lust, every woman who flashed through her mind was depicted as naked, snow-white-skinned, and alluring, constantly interrupting her train of thought!

"I know! The conflict between the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect was all orchestrated by the Tongtian Sect Master!" A sudden flash of inspiration struck Ge Xiaoyao. "Shiji must also be trying to control King Zhou and the Shang Dynasty, using the power of the court to deal with the Kunlun Chan Sect! That's right... the Investiture of the Gods is the conflict between the Jie and Chan Sects! Could it be..."

Ge Xiaoyao felt himself being drawn deeper and deeper into that grand calamity of the immortal path. Jiang Ziya, Shen Gongbao, Shiji, Yuanshi Tianzun, and the Tongtian Sect Master all seemed to be flickering before his eyes, trying to pull him to his side!

It seemed preordained. If it were according to Ge Xiaoyao's previous character, he would have definitely joined the Jie Sect, as long as he achieved his goal. But… he had only intended to prevent Chu Yu from entering the palace, but who knew it would cause so much trouble? Now Jiang Ziya was a member of Kunlun, and Duo Mei and Ling Gui Yin San had also joined Kunlun. He himself had entered the immortal path and was also considered a member of Kunlun. No matter what, he absolutely could not agree to Shi Ji joining the Jie Sect. Moreover, Shi Ji had killed Yan Qiang!

"No, I absolutely cannot let them succeed! For Jiang Ziya and Duo Mei's sake, I cannot!" Ge Xiaoyao gritted his teeth and thought to himself. At this moment, he clearly felt the effects of the aphrodisiac spreading through his body, and his consciousness began to blur again. He shook his head violently, trying to clear his mind for a moment, but his vision remained blurry. Gradually, he saw voluptuous bodies writhing, swaying, and smiling seductively. The boundless allure tempted him to exert himself, to rise forcefully, to open his arms, to embrace, to bite, to…

“Ah…” The fiery serpent within Ge Xiaoyao had swelled tenfold, the intense lustful venom gradually burning and devouring his consciousness. “Beauty…faster…faster…” Ge Xiaoyao could no longer control his mind; the lustful venom had completely taken over his brain. He opened his mouth wide, shouting, his body pounding violently, going mad, like a lustful beast that had lost its reason, frantically searching for prey to vent its lust.

In his hallucination, Ge Xiaoyao opened his arms and suddenly embraced a beautiful, naked woman, pressing her soft body against his chest, feeling the pleasure of her elastic, smooth skin rubbing against his chest. He opened his mouth wide and fiercely pressed down on her alluring cherry-red lips.

A cool liquid was sucked into his mouth, and Ge Xiaoyao felt a surge of pleasure. He sucked on the cherry lips tightly, his tongue searching inside, searching for that intoxicatingly fragrant tongue.

Ge Xiaoyao's body couldn't move, but he felt that cool, delicate body rubbing against him, touching his sensitive parts, gradually enveloping him...

"Mmm..." Ge Xiaoyao groaned comfortably, the lustful fire within him suddenly releasing, and then he heard that equally intoxicating and soul-stirring beautiful moan.

Before Ge Xiaoyao's eyes seemed to appear an endless starry sky and a vast galaxy, countless stars slowly flowing and converging towards him, forming a huge star ring around him, the dim starlight forming a dazzling curtain of light. He stretched his body freely within this star ring. He touched a soft, warm body, and before him appeared a stunningly beautiful woman smiling at him, a smile so captivating, so alluring, so familiar and intimate. Her red lips parted, as if she were saying something; her voice was delicate and melodious, each note resonating deep within his heart.

Ge Xiaoyao couldn't resist drifting towards her, and the woman smiled and met his gaze. Their clothes floated away in the starry sky until they could touch every inch of each other's skin.

Her skin was like snow, yet far whiter; like jade, yet far smoother and warmer. Her exquisite curves flowed like water, winding and beautiful beyond compare. Her jet-black hair exuded an alluring fragrance, compelling him to kiss her deeply.

Ge Xiaoyao saw his own chest glowing with a bronze hue, and he held her snow-white body tightly in his arms. His strong, powerful arms and hands caressed her soft flesh with caresses. Starlight twinkled around her, its deep blue glow making her body even more breathtakingly beautiful.

There was no sound left. Even the flow of starlight became quiet, as if afraid to disturb the enchanting spring scenery. In this endless void, they were engaged in the most ancient, mysterious, and captivating act.

Ge Xiaoyao was intoxicated. He could hear the breathing, which had gradually weakened from its rapid pace, feel the soft body pressed against his chest, and even hear the still-rapid heartbeat.

A cool sensation touched Ge Xiaoyao's forehead; a crystal-clear droplet of water hit his face, sliding down his cheek before being gently wiped away by a boneless, jade-like hand.

Ge Xiaoyao felt his body go limp, so comfortable he felt utterly powerless—a normal reaction after such a frenzied release. But suddenly, he realized that his meridians had undergone an unusual change, becoming responsive and active. His lower abdomen felt like a vast ocean of power, which flowed through these active meridians to his limbs and throughout his body.

Ge Xiaoyao opened his eyes.

Chapter 129 Holy Maiden Consort De (Part 2)

A pair of beautiful eyes, brimming with glistening tears, caught his eye, captivating all who beheld them. A few beads of sweat clung to her delicate forehead, her face flushed, and her breathing rapid.

Ge Xiaoyao touched a soft, smooth body. He was stunned for a moment: "Ah! Consort De, it's you!"

Ge Xiaoyao had been given aphrodisiacs, numbing agents, and aphrodisiacs by Shi Ji. Tormented by the lustful poison within him, he was on the verge of losing control when he was plunged into a dreamlike state. The lustful poison and burning desire had completely dissipated, saving his life. However, he was completely unaware that the one who saved him was not Shi Ji, but Consort De.

Consort De seemed very tired, lying on her back, and said softly, "Don't call me Consort De, call me Han Yun!"

"Han Yun?" Ge Xiaoyao asked, puzzled, yet the name seemed extremely familiar; he felt he had heard it somewhere before.

Consort De continued, "Dream Maiden Peak..."

"Ah?" Ge Xiaoyao exclaimed in surprise, "You...you are?"

Consort De nodded, a weak smile appearing on her jade-like face.

Ge Xiaoyao never imagined that the Consort De before him was actually Han Yun, the former Holy Maiden of the Eastern Yi Holy Sect! How could this be?! Ge Xiaoyao had just cleared her of suspicion that she wasn't the Holy Maiden, yet she herself admitted it. Moreover, after King Zhou used her as an assassin for the Eastern Yi Witchcraft Sect, she didn't admit it either. Why would she reveal her private matters now?

Consort De noticed Ge Xiaoyao's confusion and sighed, "Brother Ge! The reason I'm telling you this is because I don't have long to live!"

"Damn it!" Ge Xiaoyao felt as if he had heard another thunderclap. "How could this be? What's wrong with you?" He said, but was about to examine her body.

Han Yun blushed and dodged, saying, "No need, Brother Ge, actually I was injured by Shi Ji!"

"Shi Ji?" Ge Xiaoyao suddenly remembered the white female figure outside the window when Shen Gongbao and Shi Ji attacked together at the Deer Terrace. No wonder the white female figure looked so familiar back then; it turned out to be her.

“Shi Ji said you were only severely injured, not fatal! Besides, you destroyed two of Shen Gongbao’s magical treasures, causing him internal injuries!” Ge Xiaoyao asked, puzzled.

Han Yun gently shook her head, then gazed deeply at Ge Xiaoyao’s face before sighing, a blush rising on her cheeks.

“Damn! How could I be so stupid!” Ge Xiaoyao suddenly realized that she must have risked her injured body to remove the lustful poison from his body… He felt uneasy and didn’t know what to say, standing there dumbfounded.

Han Yun smiled sweetly, “It’s nothing… Brother Ge, as a physician, how did you contract this lustful poison?”

Ge Xiaoyao blushed and said, “I don’t know either!”

Han Yun’s expression turned serious, “Brother Ge, there’s something I don’t know if I should say?”

"Damn it! You saved my life, Ge Xiaoyao, what can't I say!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself. "What is it? Just say it!"

Han Yun hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Brother Ge, don't fight with Shi Ji anymore, you can't beat her!"

Ge Xiaoyao gave a bitter smile, "It's not that I'm fighting her, it's that she's fighting me. She killed Yan Qiang, then killed Yue Xin, and now she's harmed you... If I don't avenge this, how can I have the face to live!"

Han Yun sighed, "Brother Ge, actually none of this has anything to do with you! You're a good person, I don't want you to get involved in the grudges and conspiracies of the Immortal and Demonic Paths!"

Ge Xiaoyao was speechless. Now he finally understood why Yue Xin had knocked him unconscious and then gone to seek revenge on Shi Ji—it was actually to protect herself. And what about Yan Qiang? He didn't know what had happened. Ge Xiaoyao felt another sharp pain in his heart, but he said bitterly, "Shiji! I, Ge Xiaoyao, swear I will never forgive you!"

"Ah, right!" Ge Xiaoyao suddenly remembered that Yuexin had impersonated Consort De to assassinate King Zhou, but he couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Did you know that Yuexin impersonated you?"

Han Yun smiled gently, "Of course I know. Yuexin doesn't know that I am the former Holy Maiden, and I don't want her to know! My existence is the greatest secret of the Holy Sect."

Ge Xiaoyao thought for a moment and said, "I've never understood why you've been lurking in this harem all this time."

Han Yun didn't answer but asked a question in return, saying leisurely, "Don't you think that this harem is chaotic and complicated, full of all sorts of relationships?"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded.

Han Yun continued, "Do you know that Dongyi was originally a weak country, even weaker than a vassal state of the Great Shang, yet the Great Shang's hundreds of thousands of troops couldn't conquer it even after years of attacks? Why is that?"

Ge Xiaoyao finally understood. It turned out that even before he entered Dongyi, Dongyi already knew his background. Moreover, the fact that the lewd and seductive woman was able to lead the women of her sect to wipe out all the generals of the Three Tigers Army above the rank of Lieutenant General in just three days must mean she had detailed intelligence to back it up. Thinking of this, Ge Xiaoyao couldn't help but secretly admire Han Yun. This Han Yun, living in the inner palace, was able to gather information so promptly and thoroughly; she was truly remarkable. "Then why did you so rashly reveal your identity this time? Don't you know you're no match for Shen Gongbao and Shi Ji?"

Han Yun smiled bitterly and nodded. "I know, but with the Holy Sect destroyed, how can I survive? My mission to gather information is complete; the rest is up to me!"

As she spoke, Han Yun added, "Actually, everyone in this palace wants to control King Zhou to achieve their own goals! That's why King Zhou has survived until now. In reality, no one wants King Zhou to die… However…" "My heart is cold. With King Zhou dead, everything is clean!"

Ge Xiaoyao exclaimed in surprise, "If King Zhou dies, won't the world descend into chaos?"

Han Yun smiled and said, "That's right, with King Zhou dead, the world will definitely be in chaos. Empress Jiang and Consort Zhuang are not ordinary people. They each have one or more vassal states supporting them. If King Zhou dies, the inner palace will be in chaos first, and then the vassal states will rise up in war. How could the world not be in chaos?"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded to himself. Empress Jiang's father was Marquis Jiang Huanchu of the East, who was stationed in Qingzhou and commanded an army of 200,000, not to be underestimated. However, he was unaware of Consort Zhuang's background.

Han Yun said, "Don't let Consort Zhuang's delicate appearance fool you; she's the younger sister of the Marquis of Bei in Youzhou. If anything were to happen to her, the Marquis, who commands a large army and loves his sister dearly, wouldn't stand idly by."

Ge Xiaoyao said, "Even if King Zhou doesn't die, the world might still descend into chaos!"

Han Yun smiled bitterly, "Actually, for the people of the Great Shang, chaos is far better than being controlled by demons!"

Ge Xiaoyao was startled, "What makes you say that?"

Han Yun's beautiful eyes shone as she gazed at Ge Xiaoyao with a pitiful look, leaning her smooth body closer to him before saying, "The Jie Sect is no longer a celestial path; it has degenerated into a demonic path. If Shi Ji controls King Zhou, the entire Great Shang will likely be engulfed in demonic chaos!"

"Damn it! Shi Ji entered the palace to control King Zhou, and now that she's achieved her goal, what should we do?" Ge Xiaoyao exclaimed.

Han Yun gently shook her head. "I'm powerless to help you now, but Brother Ge, you should hurry to Kunlun and find Duo Mei. If you can cultivate an immortal body, you can come back later! But don't act rashly now, or you'll bring disaster upon yourself!"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded and said, "Alright, but... I have something to finish before I leave!"

Han Yun coughed twice, her face turning from red to white, and her voice became much weaker: "Is it about your girlfriend Daji?"

Ge Xiaoyao asked suspiciously, "How do you know?"

Han Yun smiled and said, "Of course I know... To tell you the truth, the entire Shang Dynasty harem is under my surveillance!"

A chill ran through Ge Xiaoyao's heart. It seemed she didn't intend to kill him; otherwise, she would have been killed long ago when he was secretly raping her...

Thinking of this, when he looked at Han Yun again, her face had become even paler. Ge Xiaoyao hurriedly said, "Han Yun, what's wrong?" As he spoke, he took out his last Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill and was about to give it to her.

Han Yun stopped Ge Xiaoyao, saying, "No need, Brother Ge. My meridians have been injured by that stone, and my vital energy has been burned by that lustful poison. It's already a miracle I've held on this long. Don't waste this precious medicine!"

Ge Xiaoyao's heart sank. From Han Yun's increasingly dazed eyes, he could tell she was telling the truth; no medicine could save her now.

Seeing Ge Xiaoyao's sorrowful face, Han Yun smiled and said, "Brother Ge, fate cannot be defied. Neither you nor I, with our greatest magical power, can reverse it!"

Ge Xiaoyao was no longer listening. His mind was filled with the image of Consort De's cold, jade-like face and the few rare moments of joy she had shared.

Han Yun coughed violently a few times, a drop of blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. She smiled gently and said, "Brother Ge, do you remember the first time we met?"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded, tears welling up in his eyes.

Han Yun continued, "Actually, ever since I first saw you, I've felt an overwhelming urge for you, to the point that you hid to watch me bathe..." A blush appeared on her pale face.

"Stop! I know everything!" Ge Xiaoyao held her in his arms. Based on his experience, Han Yun was now in her final moments; the more she spoke, the faster her life would fade.

Han Yun shook her head and continued, "Brother Ge, the man I remember most vividly is you..."

Ge Xiaoyao was speechless, but he could feel tears welling up in his eyes.

"Fate cannot be defied, perhaps..." Han Yun continued, "Perhaps, we can meet again in the next life... Will you still hold me like this then?" The frost on her face vanished completely, replaced by the innocent smile of a little girl.

Ge Xiaoyao nodded sharply, a tear finally falling onto Han Yun's already cold face.

Han Yun fell silent, peacefully asleep, her beautiful eyes closed, a smile still lingering on her lips.

“Her days in the harem must have been difficult, but thankfully she finally smiled…” Ge Xiaoyao raised his head, his tears

now dry. Ge Xiaoyao was beginning to wonder what he had done. For his Chu Yu, he had caused the deaths of so many people, though he hadn’t killed them directly, they had all died indirectly for him: Yan Qiang, Yue Xin, Han Yun… Was it all worth it?

After a long while, Ge Xiaoyao sighed, “Heaven’s will cannot be defied… Am I really going against the heavens? Since Chu Yu has been reborn as Daji, will she inevitably bear all of Daji’s burdens? Will history unfold as before?”

Ge Xiaoyao felt a chill run down his spine, shivering. Han Yun in his arms remained as cold as ever, though a smile still graced her face.

Chapter 130 Ziya Exorcises Demons (Part 1)

In Chaoge City, nearing September, autumn leaves carpeted the ground, the sweltering heat of summer replaced by a pleasant golden breeze and dew. But the desolation of autumn began to spread in people’s hearts.

The passing of Consort De added to the desolation within the imperial palace. Ge Xiaoyao was in a foul mood, unwilling to see Shen Gongbao and Shi Ji, and even more so, unwilling to see King Zhou. Aside from preparing aphrodisiac meals for King Zhou, he spent his days locked in the Pleasure Pavilion practicing his martial arts.

The deaths of Yan Qiang, Yue Xin, Yu Lu, and Han Yun still haunted him. As the saying goes, misfortune in love leads to fortune in gambling; Ge Xiaoyao's martial arts improved daily, and he had now created his own eighteen-style martial arts technique, which he arbitrarily named "Medical and Carefree Skill." It was basically the same techniques from the medical arts, such as wrist-clamping, throat-observation, heart-dissection, and yin-exploration. Most uniquely, he had also forged a magical artifact—a stainless steel scalpel.

"Damn it! Why can't I forge this scalpel into a magical artifact?" Ge Xiaoyao muttered to himself. This scalpel was brought from modern society thousands of years in the future; the metal's hardness naturally surpassed ordinary iron and copper. "Sigh, a small one is fine, I'll use it as Li Xunhuan's Flying Dagger!"

The small, gleaming silver scalpel spun in Ge Xiaoyao's hand, creating a dazzling silver sheen. Suddenly, the dagger slipped from his grasp, spinning silently in mid-air before crashing down with a loud thud as a pine tree, as thick as a person's embrace, collapsed on the opposite shore of the lake.

These past few days, although somewhat surprised that Ge Xiaoyao hadn't succumbed to the burning lust of lust, Shi Ji showed no reaction, seemingly having completely forgotten about him and no longer causing him any trouble. These past few days, she had completely bewitched King Zhou, making him utterly obedient to her.

Peaceful life is always prone to ripples. Before Ge Xiaoyao could even fulfill his desire to master his immortal arts and seek revenge on Shi Ji, he received news from a guard.

In the court, the officials stood on either side, while King Zhou sat on his high throne, his gaze fixed on an elderly man with white hair and beard in the center of the court.

"Damn! Jiang Ziya!" Ge Xiaoyao clicked his tongue inwardly, thinking, "Why is he here?!"

Ge Xiaoyao stepped aside, intending to secretly observe what Jiang Ziya was up to, but as soon as he entered, King Zhou's gaze suddenly shifted to him, saying, "Lord Anle, come forward!" Ge Xiaoyao

had no choice but to step forward, ignoring Jiang Ziya, and asked directly, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

King Zhou pondered for a moment and said, "This immortal master claims that there is a demon immortal in my Shang Dynasty palace, and has bravely come to capture the demon. Lord Anle, you should make arrangements. If the demon is successfully captured, I will reward him handsomely; if he is spreading rumors and causing trouble, he will be punished by burning alive!"

Ge Xiaoyao accepted the order and said, "Yes!" He turned around and asked, "May I ask how this immortal master is addressed, and in which sacred mountain or blessed land does he cultivate?"

Jiang Ziya said solemnly, "This humble Taoist comes from Kunlun, my surname is Jiang, my given name is Shang, my courtesy name is Ziya, and my Taoist name is Feixiong!"

"Damn! He really puts on a show of being a sage!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, then said, "The King has already issued a decree. You should think carefully. The existence of demons in this palace is no small matter!"

Jiang Ziya nodded, "This humble Taoist naturally came based on the demonic aura. I cannot be mistaken!"

Ge Xiaoyao thought for a moment, then looked at King Zhou. Seeing King Zhou nod, he said, "In that case, please follow me, Immortal Master!"

They left the court and found a secluded spot. Ge Xiaoyao grabbed Jiang Ziya and said, "Brother, why are you here?"

Jiang Ziya smiled and said, "I've come to exorcise demons!"

"Damn!" Ge Xiaoyao also laughed, "The biggest demon in this palace is Shi Ji. Do you want to get rid of her?"

Jiang Ziya shook his head, "This person has a very strong demonic aura, and now she holds a high position. Naturally, I will not touch her!"

"Damn! Not bad, not too stupid!" Ge Xiaoyao chuckled to himself, "Brother, are there other monsters in this palace?"

Jiang Ziya smiled but remained silent.

Ge Xiaoyao had no choice but to say, "Then how about this, you find the demon, and I'll capture it?"

Jiang Ziya said, "Brother, are you ready to test your skills?"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded, "These days, almost all the trees in my Paradise Pavilion have been cut down, and all the stones have been smashed!"

Jiang Ziya chuckled, "Very well, tonight at midnight, let's subdue the demon together!"

Ge Xiaoyao also smiled and said, "In that case, please rest in my Paradise Pavilion tonight, brother! I will report to King Zhou."

Jiang Ziya nodded.

Late at night, Ge Xiaoyao and Jiang Ziya sat quietly to rest. At midnight, Jiang Ziya woke Ge Xiaoyao, and the two quietly went out.

The autumn night was clear, the moonlight bright, obscuring the countless stars and casting a white frost on the ground.

A curfew had been imposed on the entire palace, so no one was out. Even the original patrolling guards had been withdrawn to the outer perimeter. As far as Ge Xiaoyao knew, only Jiang Ziya and he were outside the palace.

Ge Xiaoyao was secretly relieved. Shen Gongbao was said to have gone far away in search of some precious medicine and wasn't in Chaoge, so he was the one receiving Jiang Ziya. If the Ge brothers had met, who knew what would have happened!

Shi Ji naturally wouldn't show herself. Her current status was extraordinary; she wouldn't rashly appear before a wandering Taoist, whether genuine or not. If he was fake, she'd lose her fairy-like status; if he was real, exposing her true nature as a demoness would be even worse.

Ge Xiaoyao swaggered down the wide passageway of the inner palace, bathed in the soft moonlight, exuding an aura of "Where are the demons? Show yourself!" Jiang Ziya simply smiled and remained silent, following slowly behind Ge Xiaoyao.

After a while, Jiang Ziya looked up at the sky. The moonlight had gradually dimmed, and stars began to appear in the night sky. Jiang Ziya gestured for Ge Xiaoyao to stop, and together they climbed a rockery to look out over the entire inner palace.

"Brother, try guiding your Qi into your eyes with your mind!" Jiang Ziya suddenly said.

"Damn, what does 'drawing qi into the eyes' mean?" Ge Xiaoyao asked.

Jiang Ziya smiled and said, "It's about guiding the immortal energy within your body into your eyes with your consciousness!"

"Oh," Ge Xiaoyao nodded, "I'll try!"

Following Jiang Ziya's instructions, Ge Xiaoyao began to guide the immortal energy little by little. After his vision became blurry, he opened his eyes again and saw that although the entire inner palace remained the same, there were more than a dozen places emitting multicolored light.

"How many lights can you see?" Jiang Ziya asked.

"About ten! Let me count!" Ge Xiaoyao counted, "Eleven in total."

"Brother Ge is truly a prodigy in the immortal path. With my cultivation level, I can only see more than twenty places now. Brother, you have only been cultivating for a year, yet you have already achieved such a level. It's truly amazing!" Jiang Ziya praised, then pointed to the east and said, "Do you see that? There's a black mist rising there! That's where the demonic energy belongs."

Ge Xiaoyao looked in that direction and indeed saw the black mist continuously spewing out like a chimney. "Damn! It really is! That should be the inner palace's imperial garden!"

Jiang Ziya nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll find a way to lure it here!"

As he spoke, Jiang Ziya waved his sleeve, and a small apricot-yellow flag appeared in his hand.

With a flick of his wrist, a beam of yellow light flew towards the east. The yellow light flew to the location of the black mist, suddenly enlarged, becoming a yellow light shield that completely covered the black mist. After a short while, the yellow light flew back, followed by a wisp of black mist.

"This demon's aura is extremely strong; it probably has a thousand years of cultivation!" Jiang Ziya said.

"Damn! A thousand years of cultivation, isn't that incredibly powerful?" Ge Xiaoyao said, still feeling a little uneasy. "I wonder if I can defeat it!"

Jiang Ziya chuckled and said, "No problem, no problem, with me here, you definitely won't suffer any losses!"

The yellow light instantly returned, transforming back into the apricot-yellow flag, which Jiang Ziya held in his hand. The black smoke also followed, but stopped a short distance away. The black mist dissipated, revealing a beautiful woman.

"Damn!" Ge Xiaoyao gasped. "Consort Zhuang?!"

The woman smiled and said, "What, you know me?"

"Damn!" Ge Xiaoyao felt dizzy. "How could I not know you! Consort Zhuang... Weren't we together just a few days ago..."

"Hmm?" the woman asked in surprise.

Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, "Is this really Consort Zhuang? How should I proceed?" Just then, he heard Jiang Ziya say, "What kind of demon are you? State your name!"

The woman smiled and bowed deeply, saying, "This humble servant is Bitao, a spirit of an ancient peach tree in the Imperial Garden! I wonder what orders you have summoned me for, Immortal Master!"

Ge Xiaoyao couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. She really thought Jiang Ziya was an Immortal Master. Without waiting for Jiang Ziya's reply, he put on a stern face and said, "Then why are you disguised as Consort Zhuang?"

Bitao said, "Immortal Master, when I was cultivating my body, I happened to encounter Consort Zhuang strolling in the garden. I saw her beauty and used her appearance!"

Ge Xiaoyao suddenly understood and breathed a sigh of relief. If this demon were really Consort Zhuang, things would be difficult.

Jiang Ziya then asked, "Have you done anything evil in this Imperial Garden?"

Ge Xiaoyao chuckled inwardly, "Ugh! How can she admit anything when you ask so directly?"

Bitao pleaded pitifully, "Immortal Master, please understand! I have always focused on cultivation and have never harmed anyone. Please spare my life!"

Jiang Ziya nodded and then asked, "Are there any evil demons here?"

Bitao hesitated, then stopped.

"Speak quickly! Are there any evil demons? This Immortal Master will avenge you!" Jiang Ziya said sternly, his voice not loud, but full of authority.

Bitao was intimidated by Jiang Ziya's imposing aura and trembled slightly. She said timidly, "I dare not lie to you, Immortal Master, there is a black pig demon in the garden. He is very annoying. Seeing that I am beautiful, he always tries to bully me. Please, Immortal Master, avenge me!" As she spoke, she knelt down on both knees.

"Brother, what should we do? Should we go and catch that pig demon?" Ge Xiaoyao asked.

Jiang Ziya pondered for a moment, then said, "No rush, let me first investigate the location of this pig demon!"

With that, Jiang Ziya raised his left hand, fingers pointing upwards, and closed his eyes to concentrate. Others only saw him standing still, unaware that his divine sense had instantly traversed the entire palace, searching for the black pig demon's whereabouts.

A short while later, Jiang Ziya opened his eyes and exclaimed urgently, "Oh no! That beast has gone off to commit evil!"

Ge Xiaoyao was also startled: "What evil has it committed?"

Chapter 131 Ziya Exorcises the Demon (Part 2)

Jiang Ziya said, "That beast went to Consort Zhuang's Palace!"

Ge Xiaoyao was shocked, "Damn it! We have to go!"

Bitao also said, "Two immortal masters, hurry! That black pig is very fierce; if we're too late..."

However, before she could finish speaking, Jiang Ziya and Ge Xiaoyao had already taken to the ground and flown towards Consort Zhuang's Palace.

Ge Xiaoyao, having just achieved immortality and with his cultivation progressing rapidly, naturally couldn't neglect his lightness skill. He could now fly continuously for two li (a unit of distance) at a time, though not quite reaching the South China Sea in the morning and the Cangwu Mountains in the evening, his speed was no slower than a Boeing 747.

In the blink of an eye, the two had stepped onto the roof of Consort Zhuang's palace. They could already hear the lewd laughter and the screams of Consort Zhuang and her maids.

"Damn it! This black pig demon is just being presumptuous!" Ge Xiaoyao cursed inwardly, standing on the roof and suddenly shouted, "Where did this black pig demon come from, daring to run wild here? Get the hell out here!" After shouting, he smiled at Jiang Ziya, who understood, nodded and smiled, and casually tossed out the apricot-yellow flag.

The apricot-yellow flag fluttered in the wind in mid-air, instantly multiplying from one to two, two to four, four to eight, and was planted in the eight corners of Consort Zhuang's palace, instantly forming an impenetrable demon-trapping formation.

Jiang Ziya chuckled and said, "Now that this formation is complete, neither immortals nor demons can escape. Brother Ge, it's up to you to catch this monster!" With that

, he vanished into thin air. At this moment, there was no sound from inside the palace. Ge Xiaoyao activated his Immortal Eyes and saw the clumsy body of the black boar demon hiding in a corner under the right wall. Consort Zhuang and two maids, disheveled and pale, were huddled on the bed. One of the maids had tears in her eyes, and her clothes were draped over her shoulders, revealing a snow-white shoulder and a long, pink, jade-like leg. Clearly, she had just been violated by the black boar demon. Enraged, Ge Xiaoyao roared again, "You damned pig demon, get the hell out here and face your death!"

The black pig demon seemed cunning; upon hearing the shout, it didn't immediately respond, but waited for an opportunity to escape. However, this time, seeing only Ge Xiaoyao, who appeared young and a novice cultivator, it felt slightly more at ease. A plume of black smoke rose from a corner, shooting straight into the air.

"You brat, mind your own business! Otherwise, don't blame me if your cultivation is ruined at such a young age!" the black pig demon roared. "

Damn! You've got quite the nerve. I've eaten plenty of pork in my life, but I've never seen a pig like this before!" Ge Xiaoyao chuckled. "If roasted for a few hours, it'd definitely be delicious!"

The black pig demon was furious, its massive black head shaking violently, a dragon-patterned broadsword over ten feet long appearing in its hand. "You little brat, you're asking for death! Don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Holy crap!" Ge Xiaoyao exclaimed in surprise. He had heard of this dragon-patterned broadsword before; it seemed to be a treasured sword from the national treasury. Last time, when he accompanied Shen Gongbao to select national treasures, Shen Gongbao didn't win. Although Ge Xiaoyao had no intention of using it, he had kept an eye on it. He never expected that this black boar demon would use it as a weapon! "You audacious black boar demon! Not only do you bully the harem, but you also dare to steal from the national treasury! You beast, you've really offended me!" Before Ge Xiaoyao could finish speaking, he lightly waved his left hand, and the scalpel whirled around and landed in his palm. Ge Xiaoyao also swayed in the wind, and the blade grew a hundred times larger, holding it in his hand with imposing power!

The black boar demon roared angrily, its clumsy body moving with incredible speed, whipping up a black gust of wind as it charged towards Ge Xiaoyao. With a flash of light, the blade slashed straight down at Ge Xiaoyao's head.

Seeing that the black boar demon didn't have any special moves, just being ruthless and strong, Ge Xiaoyao chuckled. He raised his broadsword to meet the attack, his immortal energy circulating within him, unleashing a golden light from the blade.

The golden light collided with the black boar demon's sword with a resounding boom, scattering golden light in all directions. The black boar demon lost its footing and staggered back two steps. "Damn it, I didn't expect you to have some skills!" Its clumsy body swayed, creating a black gust of wind, mixed with a sharp whistle, that rushed towards Ge Xiaoyao.

"Hehe, damn it! I haven't even shown my skills yet!" With a flick of his wrist, the longsword transformed back into its original, exquisite scalpel, gleaming silver under the dim moonlight, dazzlingly bright. Ge Xiaoyao uttered a true incantation of immortal energy, and the small blade emitted a soft buzzing sound, flying through the air and piercing directly at the black gust of wind.

Before the black wind could dodge, the scalpel pierced through it, leaving a hole. Several shrill, chilling screams echoed from within the black wind, but its movements suddenly slowed. Ge Xiaoyao noticed two dark, lumpy objects fall to the ground with a thud; upon closer inspection, they were two enormous black-haired rats.

"Damn!" Ge Xiaoyao felt nauseous. The scalpel spun rapidly, and several more shrill cries echoed within the swirling black wind. As the wind dissipated, the snake and rat carcasses littered the ground, filling the air with a stench of blood.

"Damn it! Can't you be a little more civilized, you dead pig!" Ge Xiaoyao cursed, but without retracting the scalpel, it flashed a golden light in the night sky and pounced on the black pig demon.

In truth, in terms of cultivation, the black pig demon was no less powerful than Ge Xiaoyao, and in terms of combat experience, it far surpassed him. The countless snakes and rats released earlier had clearly disrupted Ge Xiaoyao's composure. He chuckled coldly, his body swaying violently. His originally clumsy form swelled in the wind, instantly transforming into a three-zhang-tall, standing black boar, its long brown bristles flowing

freely. It howled at the moon, and the sky immediately darkened, obscuring the starlight and moonlight. "Damn it! What are you doing? Do you think you'll be any more powerful just because you've turned into your original form?" Ge Xiaoyao laughed, crossing his arms as he watched the scalpel dissect the boar.

However, the black boar demon let out another long howl, suddenly spewing out a cloud of white smoke that instantly dispersed the golden light emanating from Ge Xiaoyao's scalpel. The scalpel barely managed to cut through the white smoke, but lost all its power, only managing to sever a few pig bristles without harming the black boar demon in the slightest.

The black boar demon roared with laughter, its enormous body slowly rising into the air. Its front paws shot out, and a cloud of black smoke, like an iron fist, slammed towards Ge Xiaoyao.

Ge Xiaoyao's magic weapon malfunctioned, and he was startled. "Damn! This black boar demon is indeed not simple! Come, watch my Divine Healer's Acupoint Probing Technique!"

As a physician, Ge Xiaoyao's immortal techniques were all based on agility. He quickly turned and nimbly dodged the black boar demon's punch, already poised to strike, landing a blow to the boar demon's ribs.

"Damn!" The punch landed squarely, and Ge Xiaoyao felt as if he had hit an iron plate. His fingers throbbed with pain, and his blood surged. He retreated several steps, creating distance between himself and the black boar demon.

Although the black boar demon was unharmed, the blow had ignited its ferocity, and its massive body lunged at Ge Xiaoyao. However, although it was powerful, it was not as agile as Ge Xiaoyao. Ge Xiaoyao, seeing no effect from his first move, did not rashly attack, but instead engaged the boar demon in a defensive maneuver.

Fortunately, Ge Xiaoyao possessed unique agility. The black boar demon lunged left and right, but couldn't even touch him. Soon, it was panting heavily, howling incessantly. It finally gave up flying and simply stepped onto the rooftops, the tiles clattering beneath its feet.

"Damn! Why isn't he falling?" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, skillfully dodging the boar demon's attacks. The Zhuangfei Palace was completely shielded by Jiang Ziya's formation, so nothing could be seen from the outside, and there was no fear of disturbing others.

Ge Xiaoyao dodged and weaved, occasionally launching sneak attacks, which enraged the boar demon, who was helpless. "Damn! I'll exhaust you, you damn pig demon!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, noticing the boar demon's movements gradually slowing. He secretly took out several silver needles.

These needles were something Ge Xiaoyao always carried, specifically for acupuncture, made of pure silver, and about half a foot long. Ge Xiaoyao wasn't particularly fond of hidden weapons, so he only refined a scalpel. These silver needles, however, were no ordinary needles.

Taking advantage of the black boar demon's momentary lapse in attention, Ge Xiaoyao swiftly shot out two silver needles, striking the demon squarely in the eyes. But the black boar demon seemed oblivious and continued to pounce on Ge Xiaoyao.

"Damn! This doesn't work either? Are its eyes made of iron?" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, but then suddenly realized that this black boar demon had been a demon for many years, its body already covered in protective demonic energy. Ordinary silver needles simply couldn't penetrate its protective demonic energy and harm its body.

"Hehe, let's try this." Ge Xiaoyao quickly retreated, creating distance between himself and the black boar demon, holding the two silver needles in his palms, guiding his inner immortal energy into the needles.

Although the silver needles hadn't been refined into magical treasures, and the amount of immortal energy infused was extremely limited, the initial infusion of immortal energy made a significant difference; the previously shimmering silver now shone even brighter. Ge Xiaoyao muttered under his breath, "Damn it! Grandpa doesn't have time to waste here with you, you dead pig demon, come on!" With a fierce determination, Ge Xiaoyao leaped through the air, shooting directly at the black pig demon.

He couldn't hit it, and he couldn't escape. Having cultivated for many years, he only needed to briefly survey his surroundings during the fight to know that an extremely powerful array had been set up. However, this array wasn't set up by Ge Xiaoyao himself; there must be a powerful expert present. He felt uneasy, but he still managed to send out a sliver of his divine sense, just as Ge Xiaoyao launched his attack, catching him completely off guard.

The black pig demon let out a miserable howl. Before he could react, he felt two sharp pains in his chest, followed by the complete dissipation of his protective demonic energy, and a surge of immortal energy entering his body, like being cut by a knife. The

black pig demon roared again, his fists poised to strike Ge Xiaoyao, but Ge Xiaoyao had already turned back in mid-air, retreating several feet away and laughing heartily. "Damn it! You damned pig demon, you've finally fallen for my trick!"

Just now, Ge Xiaoyao's two silver needles, infused with immortal energy, pierced through the black pig demon's protective demonic aura, plunging into two vital acupoints on his chest. He then used his immortal energy to further dissipate the demon's protective aura, leaving the black pig demon half-numb, no different from an ordinary fat pig.

"Damn pig demon, why don't you surrender to grandpa obediently?" Ge Xiaoyao chuckled, playing with his gleaming silver scalpel.

"Hmm! Kid, don't be so smug. I'll spare you today!" the black pig demon retorted angrily. Knowing he was no match for Ge Xiaoyao, he sneered, his massive body suddenly reverting to its original form, but swirling up a plume of black smoke as he rushed towards the northeast.

He had been distracted and ambushed by Ge Xiaoyao not for any other reason than to probe the surrounding array. He now knew the array's life gate was in the northeast, which was why he dared not linger and wanted to escape.

However, he never expected that it was Jiang Ziya who had set up this formation. Jiang Ziya was cunning and shrewd; how could he let such a foolish black boar demon see through it?

So, the black boar demon headed northeast. He hadn't gone far when a golden light flashed, enveloping him completely. The light was dazzling, blinding him, but his body felt like it was stuck in mud, unable to move, only able to howl incessantly.

"Damn it! What are you howling about? If you howl again, I'll become a butcher and slaughter a pig!" Ge Xiaoyao cursed.

The black boar demon indeed stopped howling and instead begged for mercy, saying, "Grandpa Immortal Master, please forgive me this time, considering my hard-won cultivation and the fact that I haven't committed any great evil. I won't dare to do it again!"

Chapter 132 Ziya Exorcises Demons (Part 2)

"Dare not my foot! You damned lewd pig demon!" Ge Xiaoyao cursed, then said to Jiang Ziya, "Brother, what should we do with this pig?"

Jiang Ziya smiled slightly and said, "This pig demon was subdued by Brother Ge, so you should be the one to deal with it. However, it's inconvenient for you to appear, so I, your elder brother, will naturally send him to King Zhou to claim credit!"

"Good, good!" Ge Xiaoyao didn't care who subdued the pig demon at all. He had already had his fill of real combat, and that was enough. He immediately laughed and said, "The credit all goes to you, elder brother!"

Upon hearing this, the black pig demon kept begging for mercy, but Jiang Ziya and Ge Xiaoyao paid him no heed. The next day, they brought him to the court, and King Zhou and the ministers were all shocked.

They were all mortals, and while they usually saw immortals capturing demons in a very mysterious way, they had never seen a real demon before. Now, seeing this black pig demon with its tusks, red eyes, coarse hair, black skin, and fierce appearance, some of the more timid ones retreated into the crowd, too afraid to look any longer.

Jiang Ziya said, "Yesterday I requested permission from Your Majesty to capture this demon, but unexpectedly, this demon entered Consort Zhuang's palace last night, attempting to commit indecent acts. I originally intended to eliminate him on the spot, but I feared Your Majesty and the other officials would not believe me, so I captured this demon here to verify his identity and request Your Majesty's judgment!"

King Zhou mustered his courage and asked, "What kind of demon are you? Where do you come from? What evil deeds did you commit in Consort Zhuang's palace? Confess quickly!"

The black pig ignored King Zhou and simply stood there motionless.

In truth, King Zhou, as the Son of Heaven, corresponded to the celestial stars and originally possessed a few strands of righteous energy. Most ghosts and demons would be afraid of him. However, this pig demon had been in the palace for a long time, and King Zhou himself was addicted to wine and women, which had completely worn away that righteous energy. Therefore, the black pig demon was not afraid of him at all.

"Damn! This black pig demon is really ignorant! I really want to loosen his skin, but alas..." Ge Xiaoyao stood aside silently, but his hands were itching to do so.

"How dare you, you pig demon! The king is asking you a question, how dare you not answer!" Jiang Ziya shouted.

Although the black pig demon was not afraid of King Zhou, he was afraid of Jiang Ziya. Hearing his shout, he trembled all over, his legs went weak and he almost knelt down. He immediately said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, Immortal Master, this little demon is a black pig demon from this palace. Last night, I couldn't resist the urge, I just wanted to go to Consort Zhuang's palace... to Consort Zhuang's palace..."

"Go to what?" the king shouted.

"Go find your pleasure!" The black boar demon's legs went weak, and he finally knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, spare me! Immortal Master, spare me!"

King Zhou was furious and about to lash out when a report came from outside the door: "Consort Zhuang has arrived!"

King Zhou said, "Please!"

Before long, Consort Zhuang arrived in the hall, weeping and wailing. She said to King Zhou, "Your Majesty, you must do justice for me! My two maids have been... have been... defiled by this demon!"

King Zhou said, "Consort Zhuang, please rise. I will certainly not forgive this black boar demon!"

Consort Zhuang continued, "It was thanks to this Immortal Master and Marquis Anle who arrived in time that I was spared from humiliation. Otherwise... how could I have the face to see Your Majesty!" As she spoke, she cried again.

Ge Xiaoyao chuckled inwardly, "I didn't expect Consort Zhuang's acting to be so good!" This whole scene was, of course, secretly orchestrated by Ge Xiaoyao. Jiang Ziya had taken all the credit for catching the demon, so he should at least get some too, otherwise, how could he have worked so hard all night for nothing?

Sure enough, King Zhou said, "Immortal Master Jiang and Marquis Anle have rendered meritorious service in eliminating the demon and saving the king. I, the king, shall reward them handsomely. Come, each of you will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold. Immortal Master Jiang will be appointed as Vice National Preceptor, Marquis Anle will remain in his original position, and an additional thousand taels of gold will be awarded!"

"Damn! Two thousand taels of gold after a night of fighting, that's about right!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, quickly pulling Jiang Ziya along to express their gratitude.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ziya stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty, it is my duty to exorcise demons and save people, and I dare not accept any reward. Moreover, I am by nature unruly and cannot bear the constraints of court etiquette. I beg Your Majesty to dismiss me from my post!"

King Zhou was displeased and said, "Why is that? Does the Immortal Master not wish to serve me?"

Jiang Ziya hurriedly replied, "No, no, it is simply due to my temperament that I dare not hold office. Furthermore, I have come here with another request of Your Majesty, for I fear Your Majesty will not believe that I will also undertake this task of exorcising demons!"

"Oh?" King Zhou thought for a moment and asked, "What is it?"

Jiang Ziya then said, "Your Majesty, there are unusual celestial phenomena and constant natural disasters, causing great suffering to the people. Your Majesty should practice benevolent governance, revere Heaven, and pray to the gods to protect your people."

King Zhou nodded, "What the Immortal Master says is absolutely right. I have already ordered the Imperial Preceptor to build the Deer Terrace to pray for divine protection. Now that a fairy has descended to earth to rule the world with me, is that not enough?"

"Damn it! You married a monster and call yourself a fairy, you're blind as hell!" Ge Xiaoyao thought of Shi Ji and felt angry, but there was nothing he could do but curse inwardly.

Jiang Ziya smiled and said, "Your Majesty's heart is as clear as heaven and earth, but the other day, the goddess Nuwa appeared to me in a dream, asking me to introduce Your Majesty to her so that you can absolve yourself of your immense karmic debt and avoid this impending calamity!"

King Zhou exclaimed in surprise, "Who is the goddess Nuwa?"

Jiang Ziya smiled and said, "Pangu created heaven and earth, Nuwa mended the sky with stones, and created humans from clay. Her merits, virtues, and wisdom are above heaven!"

King Zhou asked, "Where should I go to see her?"

Seeing that King Zhou believed him, Jiang Ziya said, "Twenty li east of Chaoge City. " "There is a Nuwa Temple. On the eighth day of the ninth month, Your Majesty may go to meet the Goddess Nuwa!"

King Zhou said, "Very well! For the sake of the millions of people of the Shang Dynasty, I will also go to worship. However, the Immortal Master must accompany me to show my sincerity!"

Jiang Ziya laughed heartily, "Since Your Majesty is so sincere, I will certainly go as instructed. I have finished my mission of transmitting the message. Farewell... farewell!" As he spoke, his body gradually disappeared without a trace. Finally, in the hall, only his last words remained: "Lord Anle, this black pig demon cannot be forgiven. He should be burned at the stake..."

"Immortal Master..." King Zhou hurriedly descended from his throne, but Jiang Ziya was nowhere to be seen. He looked up at the sky and muttered, "Could this also be an immortal?" Then, he said happily, "With an immortal assisting me, how can I worry about the prosperity of the Shang Dynasty!"

"Damn it! Prosper my ass! Who knows what kind of trouble the goddess Nuwa might cause!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, but stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what should we do with this black pig demon?!"

King Zhou said, "Didn't the Immortal Master leave a divine decree to kill him by burning him at the stake? This demon is extremely wicked. I hereby decree that he should be executed by the torture of branding. All the subjects of Chaoge may go and witness the execution!"

Ge Xiaoyao hurriedly said, "I will obey Your Majesty's decree!"

The black pig demon was so frightened that he could not stand. He was trapped by Jiang Ziya's golden light and could not use any of his demonic arts. At this moment, he was no different from an ordinary fat black pig.

After returning from the execution ground, Ge Xiaoyao went to Consort Zhuang's palace again to comfort her before returning to his Pleasure Pavilion. He lay down to rest, but couldn't sleep. The strong aroma of roasted pig emanating from him reminded him of the black pig spirit's dying words.

According to King Zhou's decree, after being branded with hot irons, the black pig spirit became a whole roasted pig, over three zhang tall and weighing more than two tons. "Damn! How can such a good thing be wasted!" Ge Xiaoyao then decided at the execution ground to share the roasted black pig spirit with the people. At first, the people were hesitant, but seeing Ge Xiaoyao eat it, they scrambled to grab it. Before long, the black pig spirit had been eaten by thousands of people.

"Haha...it tastes really good!" Seeing the people wolfing down their food, Ge Xiaoyao felt a mix of pride and sourness. "Sigh, it's just pork! Don't they usually afford pork?"

Ge Xiaoyao asked a few people about the price of pork, and they complained incessantly, "Sir, pork prices have gone up again, we can hardly afford it anymore!"

Ge Xiaoyao shook his head, clearing these distracting thoughts from his mind, still pondering the black pig demon's last words: "Why single me out? There are other demons in the palace, like the Peach Blossom Fairy!"

"Damn it!" Ge Xiaoyao slammed his hand on the table and sat up. "That damned black boar demon, even in its dying moments it had to drag someone down with it! With this shout, won't the whole city know there's a fairy named Bitao in the palace?"

While Ge Xiaoyao was lost in thought, King Zhou had already returned to the Deer Terrace.

At this time, the Deer Terrace had become Shi Ji's fairy palace. Standing on the Deer Terrace, Shi Ji could overlook the entire city of Chaoge. She and King Zhou had naturally seen the sea of people watching the black boar demon being branded and sharing the roasted pork.

"Your Majesty, what exactly happened?" Shi Ji, half-reclined on King Zhou's shoulder, asked with a charming smile.

King Zhou gazed at Shi Ji's delicate, fair face, alluring eyes, and fiery red lips, and leered, "Last night, a celestial master came to the palace to capture a demon. He caught a black boar demon, and I ordered Marquis Anle to execute it by burning it alive!"

Shi Ji nodded. "A celestial master? Is it Master Shen?"

King Zhou reached out and stroked Shi Ji's smooth body a few times, laughing, "No, Master Shen went to the immortal mountains to gather herbs for me and hasn't returned. This celestial master came on his own, and it's said he comes from Kunlun!"

"Oh?" Shi Ji asked, "What's his name?"

King Zhou said, "Jiang Ziya, Daoist name Feixiong? What, does the fairy consort know him?"

Shi Ji smiled sweetly and said, "I reside in the Heavenly Palace, how could I know these earthly immortals? I'm just a little curious!"

King Zhou said, "There's another matter, fairy consort, do you know the goddess Nuwa?"

Upon hearing the name Nuwa, Shi Ji was already greatly surprised. She was originally a stone spirit from Mount Shiji, and she still harbored fear of Nuwa, an ancient goddess. She barely managed to suppress her surprise and shook her head, saying, "I've never heard of her. Which sister in the palace is she?"

King Zhou nodded, but said, "That's strange. That immortal master said she is an ancient goddess and wants me to go and see her!"

Hearing King Zhou say this, Shiji had already considered many things. She naturally couldn't let King Zhou see Nuwa, or even if he did see Nuwa, she couldn't let him listen to her.

Shi Ji thought for a moment and said, "I have never heard of the name Nuwa. Could it be some demon deceiving Your Majesty?"

King Zhou said, "Impossible! That immortal master is dignified and has a noble bearing. He even captured that black pig demon in the harem. How could he be fake?"

Shi Ji sneered, "I wouldn't stoop to capturing such a minor demon. But if a demon were to impersonate the immortal master and capture a minor demon to deceive Your Majesty, wouldn't Your Majesty believe it without question? Wouldn't that be dangerous?" King Zhou thought for a moment and said

, "How about... " "In that case, regardless of whether the immortal master is real or fake, we will naturally reach a conclusion when we meet at the Nuwa Temple, twenty miles outside Chaoge City, on the eighth day of the ninth month. At that time, the fairy consort, the national teacher, and I, the king, will go together, and we will not have to worry about any demons causing trouble!"

Seeing that King Zhou was determined to go and could not stop him, Shi Ji thought for a moment and came up with an even more wicked idea. She immediately smiled charmingly and said, "That's fine too. At that time, I also want to see what kind of true goddess Nuwa is."

This smile aroused King Zhou's lust.
