I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Ask yourself honestly, don't you hate the Barefoot Immortal?"

Meeting the Queen Mother's sharp gaze, Qin Yao calmly asked.

The Queen Mother's eyes flickered slightly: "He can be quite annoying at times, but these annoying moments are basically all for the sake of upholding the heavenly rules."

Qin Yao said, "Speaking of heavenly rules, I'd like to know who stipulated that immortals cannot have emotions—you or the Jade Emperor?"

"It is the Jade Emperor."

The Queen Mother said, "His plea will give rise to all kinds of desires and selfishness. Being moved by emotions is to condone such things. Therefore, we must solve this problem at its root."

"So, there's no infighting in the Heavenly Court?" Qin Yao asked rhetorically.

Queen Mother: "..."

"Unless everyone is made of wood and has no self-awareness, desires and selfishness cannot be resolved by prohibiting emotions."

Furthermore, because the heavenly rules were too harsh and merciless, many gods gradually lost their humanity, such as Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

This can also cause accumulated emotions to erupt completely at a certain moment, and the Heavenly Rules become a whetstone for true feelings, like A Zi.

"You understand the principle that it's better to guide than to block, don't you?" Qin Yao said slowly.

The Queen Mother frowned: "I'm here to settle accounts with you, not to argue with you."

"Are you really not aware, or are you just pretending? The person who benefits the most from my killing of the Barefoot Immortal is actually you," Qin Yao said.

“I don’t need this benefit. Besides, you promised me you wouldn’t do evil. Killing the Barefoot Immortal would be the greatest evil in the world!” The Queen Mother waved her hand and said.

"Fine, since you don't appreciate it, let's see who's the real deal." Qin Yao's body suddenly transformed into countless golden rays, rushing straight into the starry sky.

The Queen Mother gripped her scepter tightly, following closely behind him as they entered the star field and began their great battle.

The clash of laws shattered the immortal energy, unleashing terrifying aftershocks within the star field, causing countless lifeless stars to rapidly disintegrate under the impact.

Qin Yao did not open the Chaos Sword Domain, but simply fought against the Queen Mother with the Four Fiend Swords, and the situation was evenly matched.

"Hey!"

After hundreds of rounds, the Queen Mother narrowly avoided a terrifying sword aura, her face filled with astonishment: "You haven't just regained your strength, you're even stronger than before!"

Qin Yao said, "Let's stop the war. You are no match for me."

The Queen Mother gritted her teeth: "Even if I am no match for you, I must seal you away."

"You're just asking for trouble," Qin Yao said, shaking his head.

The next moment, the two engaged in an even more intense battle, and the divine light almost swallowed up the entire star field within a radius of thousands of miles, annihilating all the stars within its range.

"boom!"

Qin Yao eventually released the Chaos Sword Domain, manipulating the four sword gates to continuously deplete the Queen Mother's immortal energy.

The Queen Mother's power was beyond imagination, and her reserves of immortal energy were terrifying, but she could not replenish them at all within Qin Yao's sword domain.

As the tides turned, the Queen Mother gradually fought until she was exhausted. Suddenly, she sensed a fluctuation in her soul, felt a sharp pain between her brows, and her vision went black.

The sudden loss of sight filled her with panic; to make matters worse, her hand suddenly felt light, and even the scepter was snatched away...

In the void.

Qin Yao held the golden scepter in one hand and immediately realized the extraordinary and powerful nature of this treasure.

It seemed to be engraved with countless magic arrays, and these arrays could amplify any spell several times over!
Using the Karmic Fire Red Lotus to wash away the primordial spirit imprint left by the Queen Mother, Qin Yao quickly refined the scepter and then used it to completely seal the Queen Mother's cultivation.

The Queen Mother finally regained her sight, only to find herself falling among the stars, as if plunging into a deep pool.

At the same time, she couldn't muster even a trace of immortal energy, and a deep sense of powerlessness quickly swept through her entire body.

High in the sky, Qin Yao held his scepter and pointed, instantly freezing the Queen Mother's descending body in place.

A wave of bitterness washed over the Queen Mother as she gazed at her junior brother, who was slowly flying towards her: "What do you want?"

"I will send you back to Heaven."

Qin Yao instantly created a dimensional portal with his scepter, then propelled the Queen Mother through the air to the front of the forbidden area of ​​the Heavenly Realm.

The Queen Mother looked on in astonishment, staring at Qin Yao through the door: "You just let me go like that?"

Qin Yao raised the golden scepter and smiled, "Take this divine artifact; consider it my punishment for you."

Queen Mother: "..."

After a moment of silence, seeing the circular portal in front of her shrinking, she suddenly asked, "Did you mean that you killed the Barefoot Immortal for my sake?"

Qin Yao waved his hand: "Don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that you are a beneficiary of the system, and you shouldn't come looking for trouble with me because of this."

Queen Mother: "..."

Much later.

When the bells in front of the Lingxiao Palace resounded throughout the celestial realm, all the immortals and gods who could be called by name in the Heavenly Court, including the six fairies, gathered in the holy hall. They saw the Queen Mother standing in front of the imperial desk with a disheveled face and not a smile on her face.

A sense of foreboding arose in the hearts of all the immortals and gods. Therefore, after bowing, Laozi was the first to ask, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

"The Yin Erosion King has not only regained his magical powers, but has even become more powerful than before," the Queen Mother said quietly.

Laozi's heart skipped a beat: "So?"

"So, I was defeated, and he took the scepter from me and sealed my cultivation." The Queen Mother did not hide anything and said frankly.

In an instant, the immortals and gods were in an uproar, and panic echoed in the hall like a hurricane.

Laozi pursed his lips and said helplessly, "The only solution now is to ask His Majesty to come out of seclusion."

The Queen Mother lowered her eyes: "Let Laozi decide."

Laozi then turned to the other immortals and asked, "His Majesty is currently in seclusion in the Heavenly Ruins. Who is willing to go to the Heavenly Ruins to invite His Majesty out of seclusion?"

The immortals and gods looked at each other, and none of them stepped forward to take on this mission.

"Imperial edict has arrived!"

In the silence, the God of Food's voice suddenly resounded throughout the hall.

All the immortals and gods turned to look towards the main gate of Lingxiao Palace, where they saw the God of Food raising his right hand, holding a golden scroll, and striding towards them.

The Queen Mother gave the God of Food a deep look and said in a deep voice, "Read it!"

"Here."

The God of Food stopped and opened the golden scroll: "The seven fairies of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, working together, can suppress the Yin Erosion King."

All the gods and immortals: "???"

How can this be?

As far as they knew, even if the seven princesses joined forces, they might not be able to defeat the Barefoot Immortal, while the Yin Shi King was a terrifying being who had killed the Barefoot Immortal.

"In addition to the imperial edict, His Majesty also has an oral instruction."

The God of Food looked around and said in a deep voice, "Whoever can bring together the Seven Fairies to suppress the Yin Erosion King will be a great hero of the Heavenly Court and will be granted the position of God of Justice for his merits, replacing the Barefoot Immortal and taking charge of the Heavenly Rules."

The eyes of all the immortals and gods lit up, and Venus stepped forward first, saying, "Your Majesty, I request permission to go to the mortal realm and summon the Seventh Princess back."

"Your Majesty, I also request permission."

"Me too, me too..."

The Four Heavenly Kings, the Twelve Zodiac Stars, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, and other deities stepped forward, instantly enlivening the hall and creating a stark contrast to its previous silence. The Queen Mother's gaze swept over the group, and she asked, "Do you know where Zi'er is now?"

All the gods and immortals: "..."

Seeing the frozen expressions of excitement on their faces, the Queen Mother spoke again:
"I allow you to descend to the mortal realm to search for and persuade her. Whoever finds Zi'er and successfully persuades her to return will be granted the position of a new God of Justice."

A short while later.

Countless streaks of light instantly pierced the sky, rushing towards the human world in a frenzy.

However, Venus, who was the first to submit the application, was not in a hurry to descend to the mortal realm. Instead, he stopped the eldest princess who was about to leave and said with a smile, "Please take me to find the seventh princess, eldest princess."

Ah Hong shook her head: "I don't know where Seventh Sister is, how can I take you to find her?"

Venus didn't believe her nonsense at all, and immediately tried to persuade her with reason and emotion.

Beside him, watching the unmoved eldest princess, the God of Cookery let out a soft breath and slowly approached the two of them: "Venus, may I have a word with the eldest princess?"

With his mouth dry and throat parched, Venus waved his hand and gradually walked away, saying, "You guys talk, you guys talk..."

Looking at the God of Cookery before her, whose expression was solemn and whose gaze was resolute, Ah Hong calmly asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Qin Yao is none other than the Yin Erosion King!"

The God of Cookery didn't waste any words and spoke directly.

To his surprise, the eldest princess did not show any shock on her face, but simply nodded silently: "And then?"

The God of Cookery was astonished: "He lied to you!"

"What did he lie to me about?" Ah Hong asked.

The God of Food solemnly said, "He concealed his identity and tricked you sisters into helping him break the seal. He tricked you sisters into violating the heavenly rules, and the Seventh Princess even became a wanted criminal because of it."

Ah Hong sighed: "God of Cookery, have you ever seen the smile on Seventh Sister's face?"

God of Cookery: "..."

"Only the Seventh Sister who stays by Dong Yong's side is the happiest Little Seven."

Ah Hong then said, "A long, long time ago, I also hoped that I could have this kind of happiness."

That was also the time when I had the highest expectations for you.

But... I waited for you year after year, only to find that you weren't even as good as Dong Yong.

The God of Cookery felt bitter but could not refute it.

Is there anything else?

Ah Hong didn't want to waste time with him here, so she asked in a low voice.

The God of Food said, "Although he did not harm you sisters, he is a demon king, the demon king who killed the Barefoot Immortal!"

Ah Hong shook her head: "Besides the Barefoot Immortal, who else did he kill?"

"Isn't one Barefoot Immortal enough?" the God of Food retorted.

"Then tell me, why did he kill the Barefoot Immortal instead of anyone else?" Ah Hong asked.

God of Cookery: "..."

why?
Of course, it was because the Barefoot Immortal wanted to kill him that he was killed instead.

“I am not deaf or blind, nor am I an ignorant little girl,” Ah Hong said. “Therefore, I know very well what the Demon King’s true nature is, and I also know very well what the Barefoot Immortal’s true nature is.”

After saying that, she turned and left, giving the God of Cookery no further chance to speak.

in the corner.

The Broom Star, holding his broom, witnessed this scene and then quickly descended to the mortal realm. He went straight to the three courtyards of Danyang Town and told Qin Yao everything he had seen, including the conversation between the eldest princess and the God of Food, without missing a single detail.

"Thanks a lot."

After listening to his story, Qin Yao reached out and patted him on the shoulder, speaking gently.

At this moment, Broom Star felt that all his hard work was worthwhile, and chuckled, "It's nothing, just running errands. Master, you flatter me."

Qin Yao remained noncommittal, then said, "You go back to Heaven first, I'm going to find Azi."

Broom Star nodded, but finally couldn't resist his curiosity: "Master, how do you plan to resolve this matter?"

Qin Yao laughed and said, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed..."

Although he was certain that in this life, the jinx would not betray him as he did in the original story, he still couldn't tell him his plans just to be safe.

The jinx was a little disappointed, but quickly recovered: "Alright, then I'll wait and see how Master does it..."

Half an hour later.

Using the peach wood talisman on A Zi's body as a coordinate, Qin Yao stopped her and Dong Yong on a street in a neighboring county and said with a smile, "Your chance has come."

Azi and Dong Yong looked on with curiosity and confusion. Then the latter asked, "Father, what opportunity?"

Qin Yao led the two to an empty alleyway and cast a spell to set up a soundproof barrier:

"The Jade Emperor has just issued a proclamation in the Celestial Realm, stating that if the Seven Fairy Maidens unite, they will be able to defeat the Yin Erosion King. Whoever can facilitate their union and suppress the demon will be appointed as the God of Justice and in charge of the Heavenly Laws."

The young couple looked at each other in bewilderment. Azi spoke up, "My godfather means that I should merge with my sisters to suppress the Demon King, thereby supporting a God of Justice, and then using this God of Justice to change the rules of heaven?"

Qin Yao shook his head: "No! The power of the God of Justice comes from the Jade Emperor. Even if he changes the Heavenly Rules, the Jade Emperor only needs to appear and say a word of chaos, and everything will be restored to normal."

My plan is for you to go to heaven on your own initiative and negotiate with the Queen Mother of the West.

Specifically, you can join forces with your sisters to suppress the demon, but you must request the Queen Mother of the West to personally amend the heavenly rules to allow emotions in the celestial realm.

Azi's eyes lit up: "Will it work?"

Qin Yao said confidently, "It can work! And this is the best opportunity."

A hint of worry appeared on Dong Yong's face: "Even the gods and Buddhas in the heavens are helpless against that demon king. Can Azi and her seven sisters suppress him? What if..."

Qin Yao said with a smile, "I am that Demon King."

Dong Yong and A Zi both widened their eyes in surprise: "Ah?!"

To put it bluntly, this is a play.

Qin Yao looked at A Zi and said, "When you go back, explain things clearly to your sisters, and we'll work together to put on a good show."

In the end, the Demon King was resealed back into the forbidden area of ​​Heaven, peace was restored to the Three Realms, and the Immortal Realm began to allow love between men and women.

The young couple: "..."

This plan was absolutely insane for the two of them!

Much later.

The immortals, who were conducting a thorough search for the Seventh Princess in the mortal realm, suddenly received a summons to the court assembly. They had no choice but to temporarily put aside their dream of becoming the God of Justice and hurriedly return to the Heavenly Court in the celestial realm, heading straight to the Lingxiao Palace.

Looking up, they saw the Seven Fairy Maidens and the Queen Mother standing together on the imperial platform, as if waiting for their arrival.

This scene left them somewhat dazed and nervous.

It feels like ages since we've seen the Seven Fairies on stage together.

The more pressing question is, who invited Azi back?
The position of God of Justice... could it be that it already has an owner?! (End of Chapter)
