I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Yes!"

To Li Jing's surprise, Mr. Qin opposite him actually admitted it directly.

"Why did you do this?" Jinzha's eyes held no anger, only curiosity.

After all, his father is doing well now and has even regained much of his humanity, which is actually a good thing for him.

In contrast, Li Jing's feelings were much more complicated. However, the Heavenly King Li was still shrewd and didn't immediately start cursing.

Qin Yao silently put down the showerhead and said, "To prevent you from killing yourself."

"Ah?" The father and son exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

Qin Yao said, "I have a special ability that allows me to see the future at certain times."

When I first met you, I saw a glimpse of your future.

If Li Tianwang hadn't been sealed away, he would have forced you to harm your beloved, but you couldn't bring yourself to do it.

So he plunged the spear into his own chest, and died.

Li Jing: "..."

Jinzha: "..."

"Is this true?" After a long while, Li Jing couldn't help but ask.

“In the future I see, this is true,” Qin Yao said. “King Li, calculate for yourself whether the outcome I’m describing is possible.”

Li Jing: "..."

He had to admit that if he hadn't been sealed away, if he hadn't regained his humanity, he could have truly forced his eldest son to harm the third princess.

"and many more."

Thinking of this, he quickly said, "There's another question: why are you so insistent on bringing Jinzha and the Third Princess together?"

“Because of Azi and Dong Yong,” Qin Yao said calmly.

Jinzha asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Qin Yao frankly said, "The seven princesses are the apple of the Queen Mother's eye. The more lovers they have, the more likely they are to push for changes to the Heavenly Laws."

Once the Heavenly Laws are successfully amended, and the gods can fall in love, then it will be a happy ending for everyone.

The father and son fell silent again.

This reason remains impeccable.

After all, the other party was the adoptive father of Dong Yong and A Zi, so he would definitely have to consider the young couple's feelings.

"Then can you break the seal on me now?" After a long while, Li Jing asked tentatively.

Qin Yao shook his head: "Not yet."

"Why?" Li Jing asked instinctively.

Qin Yao's gaze remained calm, and his voice was steady: "After you regain your divine power, will you still be able to stay here?"

Li Jing: "..."

"After you regain your divine power, how will you deal with the relationship between Jinzha and Ah Huang?" Qin Yao pressed.

Li Jing remained speechless.

To put it more bluntly, right now you are powerless to make any choices; but once you regain your divine power, you will have to make a choice.

Qin Yao stared into Li Jing's eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have any objections to postponing this time as much as possible?"

Li Jing let out a soft breath: "I have no objection."

He now understood why the other party hadn't taken back the exquisite pagoda in time—it was because they had a clear conscience, and because it was an open strategy, not a conspiracy!
Qin Yao nodded, then said to Jinzha, "Please take care of Azi and Dong Yong for me."

"Where are you going?" Jinzha asked.

Qin Yao pointed to the sky: "The Immortal Realm... so they may not be able to return for a while. I don't want anything to happen to them."

"What are you going to do in the Immortal Realm?" Li Jing asked curiously.

Qin Yao smiled and said, "I can't tell you that."

After saying that, his body suddenly transformed into streaks of golden light and vanished from the father and son's sight in an instant.

"This guy is really mysterious," Li Jing muttered to himself.

Jinzha couldn't help but laugh: "I told you, you can trust him, he's a good person."

Li Jing: "..."

fairyland.

Princess House.

Ah Qing, Ah Lü, Ah Cheng, and Ah Lan came one after another to Ah Hong, and shook their heads slightly when they met her expectant gaze.

"I have a suspicion," Ah-Lu said softly, seeing her older sister's worried expression.

"What do you suspect?" Ah Hong asked.

"Third Sister may have gone to the mortal realm," Ah Lü said.

"The human world?" Aqing and Alan exclaimed at the same time.

Ah Lü shrugged: "Otherwise, we wouldn't be unable to find even a trace of them."

Ah Qing seemed to be thinking about something, and then said to Ah Hong, "Big sister, I think you can contact Mr. Qin and ask him to help look for it in the human world."

Ah Hong nodded, and in front of her sisters, she took out a communicator and channeled magic into it: "Qin Yao, Qin Yao..."

"What's wrong?" The other party's voice came through the communicator the next moment.

"You're in the human world, right?" Ah Hong asked.

"He's not here right now," Qin Yao said.

Ah Hong was taken aback: "Then where are you?"

"We're almost at the princess's residence."

The women: "???"

Before long, Ah Hong couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here?"

Qin Yao said, "I need to talk to you about something. Could you help me gather all the other sisters together?"

He wasn't in a hurry to seal off the remaining shackles.

Given the current pace of progress, at most a few more years, and after a few more events, he will be able to seal off the remaining three shackles one by one, just like sealing off the yellow shackles.

But the plague and drought that broke out in Danyang Town made him realize that the Jade Emperor had no bottom line when it came to dealing with him.

Moreover, after helping him once, the Queen Mother made it clear that she would not help him again; this means that a large number of innocent people may be killed as a result.

Since that's the case, we have no choice but to take the risk and gamble.

He hoped that the friendship and goodwill he had built up would get Aqing and Alu's help. As for Acheng... Qin Yao didn't have any expectations of her.

The reason is simple: before she embarks on her own romantic storyline in the drama, she always approves of the rules of heaven and hopes that her sisters will not get entangled in the quagmire of love.

At this moment, Ah Hong glanced at her sisters standing beside her and replied, "Just come in, they're right here with me; by the way, how are you getting here?"

“I will come disguised as a jinx,” Qin Yao said.

"Okay, we'll wait for you..."

Not long after.

Inside the main hall.

Looking at the jinx striding confidently towards her, Ah Hong asked softly, "Qin Yao?"

Qin Yao nodded and greeted everyone with a smile, "It's been a long time, everyone."

"Mr. Qin, what do you need us for?" Aqing asked directly.

Qin Yao's smile faded, and he said solemnly, "I would like to ask the Second Princess (Acheng), the Fourth Princess (Alu), and the Fifth Princess (Aqing) for a favor."

"What kind of help?" Ah Lü asked curiously.

"Eliminate the curse!" Qin Yao said without hesitation.

"A curse?" Ah Cheng narrowed her eyes, a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

Qin Yao then repeated his story of being framed by a villain, before looking intently at the three women. Four of the seven shackles had already been removed; only the assistance of these three remained to complete the mission.

In this world without Saints, once I can unleash my full power, I might not be able to easily kill the Jade Emperor, but I can at least take control of the situation!

“I don’t know you well, and my understanding of you is limited to what my sisters have told me. I don’t really know what kind of person you are; so, I can’t help you,” Ah Cheng said cautiously.

Qin Yao was not surprised by this result, nor did he intend to try to win her over: "Fourth Princess, Fifth Princess, what about you?"

Aqing glanced at her eldest sister, who seemed hesitant to speak, and smiled, "I can help."

Ah Lü hesitated, then waved her hand and said, "I'll think about it."

In fact, although she had contact with the other party, the contact was very limited, and she couldn't even tell whether the other party's words and actions were intentional.

Qin Yao didn't say much, still not advocating for himself, but simply smiled and said to A Qing, "Then let's begin..."

Aqing nodded: "Okay."

A short while later.

Watching Ah Qing continuously channel her magic power into the blood-red lotus platform, Ah Cheng felt a strange sense of unease and turned to say, "I'm leaving now."

"Wait a moment!"

Ah Hong suddenly grabbed her wrist and said firmly.

Ah Cheng turned around and asked, "What are you waiting for?"

Ah Hong said, "Let's go out after it's over."

A-Cheng felt a little annoyed and couldn't help but ask, "Big sister, what are you worried about? Are you worried that I'll tell everyone about this?"

"I just don't want to cause any unnecessary trouble."

Ah Hong said seriously, "If you don't leave this door, nothing will happen. But if you go out and I can't see you, I'll think you might encounter the Barefoot Immortal, or the Queen Mother, and might reveal some related information."

Ah Cheng broke free from her grasp: "Big sister, you've changed!"

"Maybe, but even if I beg you, please don't go out," Ah Hong said.

Acheng: "..."

Seeing that she hadn't rejected her, Ah Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Ah Lü: "Fourth Sister, do you trust Eldest Sister?"

Ah-Lu understood what she meant, but asked a question: "What if he disappoints you?"

Ah Hong paused slightly, then turned to look at Qin Yao, who was completely focused: "That might not necessarily be a bad thing..."

Ah Lü licked her lips and said, "Alright, since Big Sister is willing to vouch for him, I'll help him."

The Thirty-Three Heavens.

Tushita Palace.

Laozi, sitting in the original spot where the compass had been, inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine.

But without the compass as a guide, he had no way of knowing where this fear came from.

He initially intended to pretend nothing had happened, but as time went on, he became increasingly restless and had no choice but to transform into a rainbow and rush to the Jade Pool to meet the Queen Mother...

"What business does Laozi have with me?"

On the imperial platform, the Queen Mother sat dignifiedly and asked in a loud voice.

Laozi cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, for some reason, I feel uneasy, as if something terrible is happening."

Queen Mother: "..."

If you say that the compass has changed, then I can still follow your advice and make some arrangements.

But you say it's purely a feeling, how am I supposed to respond to that?

Laozi also realized this at this moment and asked, "May I ask Your Majesty, has the Barefoot Immortal sent any good news?"

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "No."

Lao Jun then asked, "And what about Li Tianwang?"

“He didn’t either, and he hasn’t even come to Heaven for a while,” the Queen Mother said.

Lao Jun's mind stirred slightly, and he said, "King Li has always abided by the Heavenly Rules and Regulations. Even if he has no gains, he should still come to report at the appointed time. Could it be that something has happened to him?"

The Queen Mother hesitated and said, "Li Jing's family is not listed in the Immortal Records..."

At this point, she suddenly remembered the pagoda she had glimpsed in Danyang Town and abruptly stood up: "I know he's there."

Lao Tzu asked curiously, "How did Your Majesty know?"

The Queen Mother said, "I remember seeing a pagoda in a certain place, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Now that I think about it, that pagoda should be Li Jing's Exquisite Pagoda."

Lao Tzu immediately pressed, "Where?"

The Queen Mother did not mention Danyang Town, but only said, "King Li may be in danger, I need to go down to the mortal realm to check on him."

Lao Tzu: "..."

With this reason, who can stop the Queen Mother from descending to the mortal realm?
Not long after.

Danyang Town.

In front of the pagoda.

The Queen Mother cast her spell on the pagoda, and the pagoda's aura immediately surged.

Inside the third courtyard, Li Jing, who was chatting and laughing with the Third Princess Ah Huang, suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice, "Someone has touched my pagoda!"

“Mr. Qin?” Ah Huang asked.

"It shouldn't be."

Li Jing shook his head, then strode forward: "I'll go take a look. When Jinzha comes back with the wine, please tell him for me."

Ah Huang nodded: "Please be careful."

"Don't worry, although I've lost my magical powers, my immortal body and martial arts skills are still intact." Li Jing smiled and quickly walked out of the courtyard.

Half an hour later.

He jogged all the way to the pagoda, but found no one else around, which puzzled him.

"Li Jing, why did you leave the Linglong Pagoda here?" Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind him.

Li Jing's heart skipped a beat. He slowly turned around, and the person he least wanted to see right now came into view: "Your Majesty..."

Dressed in golden robes and holding a scepter, the Queen Mother gazed silently at the other party: "I need an explanation, or rather, an explanation of the cause and effect."

After pondering for a while, Li Jing slowly said, "I was ambushed and my cultivation was sealed. This exquisite pagoda was taken away by the mastermind behind it all, and I don't know why it was abandoned here."

He ultimately concealed the truth about Jinzha and the Third Princess, as for the future...

We'll worry about the future later.

The Queen Mother paused slightly, vaguely guessing that it was the work of King Yin Shi, since Li Jing's purpose in descending to the mortal realm was to track down the other party.

Moreover, looking at the world, even if it's a sneak attack, only Yin Shi Wang could seal Li Jing.

After a moment's thought, she looked up at the exquisite pagoda and said, "Let me help you unseal it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Li Jing bowed deeply.

Not long after.

Princess House.

Qin Yao keenly sensed that someone had broken the seal he had planted in Li Jing's body, but he had no time to deal with it now, as all his attention was focused on sealing the green shackles.

When the green primordial energy transformed into bubbles and sealed the green shackles within them, six of the seven shackles became ineffective, leaving only the orange shackle. Weak and powerless, its sealing effect was reduced to a minimum...

"Thank you, Fourth Princess."

With a thought, Qin Yao put away the golden lotus and stood up with a smile on his face.

Ah Lü waved her hand: "Don't thank me, thank Big Sister instead."

Qin Yao then turned to Ah Hong and smiled, "Thank you."

Ah Hong smiled slightly: "I'm glad I could help you..."

"Could you do us a favor too?" Aqing suddenly asked.

Qin Yao nodded emphatically: "Fifth Princess, please speak. Anything I can do, I will not refuse!" (End of Chapter)
