I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"I don't understand!" Suddenly, a voice came from afar, echoing across the mountaintop.

The gods all looked in the direction of the sound and saw a phoenix pulling a chariot. Sitting in the chariot was a graceful and beautiful middle-aged woman, and standing was a handsome young man. Finally, they stood tall in the void.

"Queen Mother of the West!"

Di Jun's gaze swept over Qin Yao, finally settling on the middle-aged beauty: "Why did you bother getting involved in this mess?"

The Queen Mother of the West slowly rose, her aura astonishing: "The human race is the people of the great goddess Nuwa. I have received much kindness from Nuwa and cannot abandon the human race."

Heavenly Emperor, your policy of non-interference may suit the gods, but it will not suit the humans.

Since you don't care about the life or death of humanity, then why do you care whether humanity will produce another emperor?

"Why should I? Because I am the Heavenly Emperor!" Di Jun coldly retorted, "I said no, and that means no."

The Queen Mother of the West calmly said, "If you insist on this, then I will have no choice but to fight alongside the Three Sovereigns."

Di Jun threatened, "You're asking for trouble!"

"Perhaps, but this is my choice," the Queen Mother of the West said in a deep voice.

Di Jun stared intently at the other, as did west Wangmu; time and space seemed to stand still at that moment.

"If you want to fight, then let us fight. Has my Heavenly Clan ever been afraid of anyone?" the First Prince sneered.

"Shut up." The Heavenly Emperor suddenly turned around and said coldly.

The eldest prince's smile froze slightly as he turned to look at the Empress, but the Empress, who had always doted on him, showed no reaction at this moment.

"For your sake, I will give the human race another chance; but this is the last bit of kindness we can show each other."

Di Jun stared at the Queen Mother of the West again and said in a deep voice, "If I discover any human being who has overstepped their bounds, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Having said that, he immediately raised his arm and whispered, "Withdraw the troops."

The eldest prince was quite unwilling, but he dared not disobey the Heavenly Emperor. He could only point at Qin Yao resentfully before leaving with the heavenly soldiers...

Seeing that the dark clouds had completely dissipated, Fuxi breathed a slight sigh of relief and bowed to the Queen Mother of the West, saying, "Thank you for your help, Queen Mother of the West."

The Queen Mother of the West said, "Great God, there's no need for that. I'm just repaying a favor from Goddess Nuwa."

Qin Yao asked curiously, "May I ask you two great deities, where is the goddess Nuwa?"

Fuxi said with a complicated expression, "It disappeared into the Ruins of Return."

Qin Yao: "..."

This word suddenly reminded him of the Eye of the North Sea in the play "The Lotus Lantern".

However, compared to the legendary final resting place of all things, the end of the world, the Eye of the North Sea is far inferior in scale.

Perhaps in this world, the Ruins of Return are the kind of existence found in myths and legends?

Imperial Palace.

The Heavenly Empress, her robes trailing on the ground, walked shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Emperor before the throne. Suddenly, she said, "The Heavenly Palace needs a wedding to bring good fortune, otherwise rumors will surely spread."

Di Jun understood her meaning and turned around to say, "Summon Chang'e."

"Here."

Outside the imperial palace, the silver-armored celestial being bowed to receive the order, then rode the wind swiftly to the Moon Goddess Palace, and softly proclaimed: "The Heavenly Emperor commands that Chang'e be summoned."

In the main hall of the divine palace, the three bodies formed from Qin Yao's pure energy simultaneously opened their eyes, pondered for a moment, and then instantly turned into pure energy and dissipated.

He could not possibly go to see the Heavenly Emperor, lest his pure spirit be unable to escape and fall into the Heavenly Emperor's hands instead.

However, just as the three bodies vanished simultaneously, the Emperor and Empress, who were in the Imperial Palace, sensed something and instantly scanned the Moon Palace with their divine senses, but there was no trace of Chang'e.

"You've raised a fine daughter!" Tianhou said with a cold expression, glancing sideways.

Heavenly Emperor: "..."

He used to dote on Chang'e, but now it seems he has indeed spoiled her a bit.

One escape can be considered a sign of ignorance, but knowingly breaking the law is a much more serious offense.

"Let the eldest prince handle it. I believe he can bring Chang'e back." The Empress spoke again during the silence.

The Heavenly Emperor let out a soft breath: "The Empress shall make the decision."

The next day.

beach.

The eldest prince looked at Feng Meng with surprise: "Why are you alone? Where is Feng Yi?"

"For some reason, Hou Yi kept a particularly strict watch on us. Feng Yi deliberately pretended to have a problem and lured him away; otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to come here to see you," Feng Meng said softly.

The eldest prince seemed to be thinking for a moment, then said, "Go back and tell him that whoever can bring Chang'e out of Buzhou Mountain will be appointed as the River God by the Heavenly Emperor, in charge of the Yellow River. Humans regard the Yellow River as their mother river, so I don't need to say more about the value of this divine position, do I?"

Feng Meng's eyes lit up, and he bowed in response: "Yes, sir."

"What's the current situation with the King of Men chosen by Hou Yi?" the eldest prince asked.

Feng Meng said, "Zhang Bairen has passed the Three Sovereigns' test and is currently receiving instruction from the Three Sovereigns."

"Hmph." The eldest prince sneered, "He'll get his comeuppance one day!"

A few moments.

Feng Meng rushed back to Buzhou Mountain. After much deliberation, he felt that now was the best time to take action.

While the Three Sovereigns were working together to teach Zhang Bairen, Hou Yi was being held back by Feng Yi, so no one was paying attention to him.

If I miss this opportunity, even if I can cooperate with Feng Yi, it's hard to say whether it will be better than the current opportunity.

Thinking of this, he quietly went to the Jade Rabbit's room, knocked on the door, and called out, "Jade Rabbit, I've discovered something very interesting..."

half an hour.

Chang'e entered the Jade Rabbit's room and looked at the note the Jade Rabbit had left on the table. Her heart suddenly tightened.

She had not only heard Qin Yao say that the Feng brothers had problems, but he had also told her to be careful and on guard.

The Jade Rabbit said she was going to see the iron tree bloom with Feng Meng, but I'm afraid there's something wrong with that.

Thinking of this, she instinctively wanted to contact Qin Yao, but then she remembered that he was following Feng Yi, and if she suddenly summoned him back, it might mean losing an opportunity to expose them...

In the end, Chang'e silently concealed herself and followed the lingering scent of the Jade Rabbit, stealthily making her way out of Buzhou Mountain.

On the banks of the Yellow River.

Qin Yao stood high in the sky, staring at Feng Yi below for a long time, when a sense of unease suddenly arose in his heart.

After much deliberation, he decided to leave a clone behind while his main body rushed back to Buzhou Mountain. However, he discovered that Chang'e, the Jade Rabbit, and Feng Meng were all missing.

Moreover, it could only be the three of them who left Buzhou Mountain on their own initiative; otherwise, even if the Heavenly Emperor himself came, he would not be able to capture the master and servant within the Three Sovereigns' Daoist temple.

"Could this Feng Meng be the legendary Feng Meng?" Qin Yao slowly narrowed his eyes, a guess emerging in his mind.

In classical mythology, Feng Meng betrayed Hou Yi and forced Chang'e to hand over the elixir of immortality, which led to Chang'e swallowing the elixir and flying to the heavens.

Coincidentally, the two names are pronounced almost identically.

A moment later, Qin Yao suddenly flew out of Kunlun Mountain and released his divine sense to search the area thoroughly, but still found no trace of the three people.

He wasn't too flustered by the result. It was because he had passed on the divine summoning technique to Chang'e long ago. Chang'e might not have the opportunity to use it right away, but it was impossible for her to never find the right time to summon the gods.

Moreover, Chang'e is the daughter of the Heavenly Emperor. The Heavenly Emperor might force her into marriage, but he would not harm her or deliberately mistreat her.

In other words, even if there is a grand wedding, Chang'e's innocence can be assured until the wedding is over.

However, we still need to try to save them, just in case something unexpected happens during the process.

After all, in the original story, Hou Yi and Chang'e suffered terribly; one went insane and the other was utterly destroyed.

Even if those who have lost their minds recover, they will still commit grave mistakes; even if those whose souls have been scattered are reborn, they will still be unable to escape the fate of flying to the moon.

The best solution to change this bad ending is undoubtedly to minimize the occurrence of various unexpected events!
Not long after.

Qin Yao returned to the banks of the Yellow River, merged with his clone, and slowly landed in front of Feng Yi.

"What are you doing here?" Feng Yi asked, feigning surprise.

Qin Yao said indifferently, "Didn't you lead me here? You made it sound so serious, as if you were afraid I wouldn't come along."

Feng Yi feigned ignorance: "I don't understand what you're saying."

"You've been betrayed by Feng Meng."

Qin Yao said, "He has already tricked Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit out of Buzhou Mountain, and you are the price he paid for this, that is, the sacrifice."

Feng Yi's heart skipped a beat, his expression filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

Qin Yao said, "If you don't believe me, go back to Buzhou Mountain and see for yourself."

Feng Yi pursed his lips and immediately buried himself in his travels, rushing back to Buzhou Mountain as quickly as possible, only to find that Feng Meng was indeed gone.

"The reason we didn't use any methods against you before was because we were concerned about the Emperor's reputation."

But now, just because Feng Meng abducted Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit, I can directly take action against you, including soul searching.

"Do you want me to help you, or do you want to tell the whole story yourself?" Qin Yao said calmly, following behind him.

After hesitating for a long time, Feng Yi lowered his head and said, "I'll confess..."

He was genuinely afraid of Hou Yi's methods, after all, even the eldest prince had suffered a loss in front of him.

"Let's go, come with me to see the Three Emperors," Qin Yao said, beckoning.

In the blink of an eye, the two stepped into the Fire Cloud Cave one after the other. The three emperors, who were wholeheartedly instructing Zhang Bairen, turned to look at them at the same time. The Yellow Emperor said with a smile, "What's wrong?"

When questioned, Feng Yi knelt down with a thud and kowtowed heavily: "Master, your disciple is guilty."

The Yellow Emperor's smile faltered slightly, then he glanced at Qin Yao and asked, "What crime have you committed?"

Feng Yi's lips trembled as he lowered his head and said, "Actually, Feng Meng and I came to Buzhou Mountain to become disciples on the instructions of the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Clan..."

No, it was coercion! He coerced us to come here to learn the Way, and then serve him after we have completed our studies.

Even he didn't expect that Hou Yi would follow him here and bring Zhang Bairen with him.

So he turned the tables and made us stay behind as inside agents. Now, Feng Meng has used some sweet talk to trick Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit out of us, but he's abandoned me here.

Upon hearing this, the three emperors all changed color, with the Yellow Emperor's face turning frosty.

He deeply felt the hardships faced by the human race and wanted to cultivate two heroic protectors for them, which is why he accepted the Feng brothers who had traveled thousands of miles to come. Little did he expect that the two were just a pawn in the Crown Prince's game.

"This is my fault. I will go and bring Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit back right away," the Yellow Emperor said, taking a deep breath and standing up.

"Wait a minute."

Fuxi stopped him, saying, "If nothing unexpected happens, Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit should have been sent to heaven by now. Are you going to attack the Heavenly Court?"

The Yellow Emperor hesitated and said, "I can sneak away..."

“They’ve already suffered two losses; they won’t give you another chance,” Shennong said rationally.

Yellow Emperor: "..."

“We need someone to go to the Celestial Realm to investigate,” Qin Yao said softly, turning to look at Feng Yi.

The Yellow Emperor exhaled softly, gazing intently at Feng Yi, and said, "Feng Yi, are you willing to atone for your crimes through meritorious service?"

Feng Yi quickly agreed, "Master, I'm willing!"

"Don't call me master. I'll consider forgiving you after you help rescue Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit," the Yellow Emperor said softly.

Feng Yi nodded heavily: "I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. I'll go to heaven now and find out what's going on."

Qin Yao flipped his hand and took out a communicator, handing it to the other party: "If you have any news, you can immediately infuse this with magic power and contact me through it."

Feng Yi took the communicator with both hands, kowtowed repeatedly to the Yellow Emperor, and strode away.

“This person should not be trusted,” Fuxi said.

Qin Yao nodded: "It is ultimately of some use."

Shennong said, "You don't need to worry too much. Chang'e is, after all, Emperor Jun's own daughter."

"I know, otherwise I would have gone to Heaven long ago."

Qin Yao replied, "Let's see what the Heavenly Court does. If they insist on forcing a marriage, I'll show them what a revolutionary, dimensional-reducing attack looks like."

The Three Sovereigns: "?"

They were also eager to know what a revolutionary, dimensional reduction attack truly meant!
the other side.

After leaving the Fire Cloud Cave, Feng Yi ran almost frantically until he returned to the banks of the Yellow River. Only then did he recite the Sun Sutra and attempt to summon the First Prince.

After a long while, a streak of light suddenly descended and manifested as the figure of the eldest prince before him...

"Greetings, Your Highness," Feng Yi said, bowing.

Feng Meng said that it was all thanks to your help in distracting Hou Yi that he was able to trick the Jade Rabbit and Chang'e out of the way.

"And now, how did you manage to shake off Hou Yi?" The eldest prince asked, his eyes narrowed with suspicion.

"Thanks to Consort Luo's help, she stopped Hou Yi, and I took the opportunity to escape." Feng Yi straightened up and said, "I have something to say, but I don't know if I should."

The eldest prince raised an eyebrow: "Speak."

He still suspected the other party, but he could not kill a meritorious official because of his suspicion.

Otherwise, who would dare to risk their lives for him?

Feng Yi touched his head to the ground and whispered, "I've discovered that Consort Luo seems to have feelings for Hou Yi..."

The eldest prince clenched his fists silently and sneered, "Just watch, this affection will eventually become the source of her suffering."

Feng Yi lowered his head and remained silent.

The eldest prince stared at his back for a long time, and finally a cloud of auspiciousness gathered at his feet:
"In any case, it's your good fortune to have outmaneuvered Hou Yi. I will reward you according to your merits, but I hope you can cherish this hard-won blessing and not go down the wrong path, choose the wrong people, or do the wrong things."

"I will heed the Crown Prince's teachings," Feng Yi said.

A short while later, after being brought to the Heavenly Realm by the First Prince, he couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, Your Highness, where is Feng Meng?"

"He was appointed by the Heavenly Emperor as the River God of the human world for his merits, in charge of the Yellow River; although your merits are less than his, it is still no problem to be granted a divine position."

"Work hard. As a former retainer of my former residence, you will surely have a bright future after I become the Heavenly Emperor!" the eldest prince said calmly.

Feng Yi suppressed his jealousy and resentment with all his might, and said respectfully, "Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness!" (End of Chapter)
