I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

The eighth year of King Zhou's reign.

The Royal Palace of Chaoge.

The three demons, who entered the palace through bribery under the guise of commoners, gathered in the Imperial Garden. They looked at each other and sighed deeply.

More than ten months have passed since I entered the palace that day.

During this time, they tried almost every means to get close to King Zhou, hoping to gain the opportunity to serve him in bed, thereby seizing power and becoming the most powerful demons in the human world!
Strictly speaking, this wish was not Nuwa's decree, but who wants to be a slave forever?

Moreover, they are all ancient demons, and they are even less willing to be ordered around by ordinary mortals.

Therefore, they did create opportunities to meet, even three times a day, but King Zhou only praised their beauty and did not show any favor to them, let alone anything else.

“Sister, what should we do next? We can’t stay in the palace as servants forever, can we? I’m so fed up with this life of serving others. I want to be a mistress in the palace and be served by others.”

After a long while, the Jade Pipa Spirit spoke from the bottom of her heart.

The nine-tailed fox shook her head and sighed, "King Zhou is protected by the Purple Star Imperial Qi. As long as his fate is not exhausted, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal cannot harm him in the slightest. So it is even more impossible for us to use magic to bewitch him. What can we do?"

The nine-headed pheasant's mind stirred slightly, and he said softly, "I know someone who is very resourceful and might be able to come up with a way to break this deadlock for us."

"Who?" the other two demons asked in unison.

The nine-headed pheasant spirit laughed and said, "Immortal of the Chan Sect, Shen Gongbao!"

That night.

Outside Chaoge City.

At the summit of Qishan Mountain.

With his back to the bright moon, Shen Gongbao looked at the three demons with hopeful faces and chuckled, "You've misunderstood."

The nine-tailed fox immediately asked, "Immortal Master, where did we misunderstand?"

"Then King Zhou must have already seen through your true forms. As a human, and a human king at that, how could he possibly be aroused by three demons?"

"So no matter how beautiful your human forms are, don't even think about climbing into God's bed," Shen Gongbao said with an air of absolute certainty.

The three demons seemed to be deep in thought when the Jade Pipa Spirit asked, "What guidance do you have, Immortal Master?"

"The right way is to possess them and appear beside them one by one."

Shen Gongbao responded, "I have long heard that Su Daji, the beloved daughter of Marquis Su Hu of Ji Province, is a beauty of unparalleled grace and is known as the most beautiful woman in the world. If a fox spirit could possess her, it would surely be able to get close to King Zhou."

The fox spirit's eyes lit up slightly, and she said, "I'll head to Jizhou right away."

"I will go with you, and I can also help you seal Su Daji's primordial spirit," Shen Gongbao said.

As a celestial being of the Chan Sect, he considered himself a righteous and reputable sect. Although he had no choice but to come up with such a terrible idea, he was unwilling to harm Daji's life.

Once the deed is done, he can lead Daji to the afterlife, which would be worthy of the name of a celestial being of the Chan Sect!

Not long after.

April in summer.

Qin Yao was practicing his meditation in the palace as usual when his personal guard suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, Minister Fei Zhong requests an audience."

Inside the palace, on a prayer mat, Qin Yao, dressed in a black imperial robe, slowly opened his eyes and asked in surprise, "What is it?"

"They said they wanted to present a talented woman to the King," the guard replied humbly.

Qin Yao: "???"

A short while later.

A man with a sharp, angular face, triangular eyebrows, and gourd-shaped eyes entered with his head bowed, performing a grand salute as if a mountain of gold and jade were collapsing: "Your humble servant Fei Zhong pays respects to Your Majesty."

Qin Yao stared at the notorious treacherous minister before him and laughed, "Get up. What talented woman do you wish to present?"

Upon hearing this, Fei Zhong stood up with a broad smile: "The Marquis of Jizhou hopes that his daughter will become a pillar of the family and form a marriage alliance with Your Majesty, so he has entrusted me to act as his advisor."

"Your Majesty, I have personally met Su Daji. She is indeed exceptionally beautiful and virtuous, a rare find in this world. That is why I accepted the Marquis of Ji's request."

Qin Yao was taken aback.

no……

What is that?
Marquis of Jizhou, Rang Feizhong, suggested that he marry Daji.

What a freaking plot twist! It completely challenges conventional wisdom.

"Your Majesty, would you like to see him first?" Fei Zhong said with a fawning smile as the king looked on in astonishment.

Qin Yao's expression was strange, and he suddenly asked, "Fei Zhong, how much money did you receive?"

Fei Zhong's smile froze, and in a flash, he suddenly prostrated himself on the ground: "Your subject is guilty; I accepted three thousand taels of silver from Su Daji."

"Three thousand taels is not a small amount... Give me five thousand taels, and I want to see this Su Daji," Qin Yao said.

Fei Zhong: "Huh?"

"What? You think it's too little? Then six thousand taels it is," Qin Yao said.

Fei Zhong immediately cried out as if he had lost his parents, "Your Majesty, I only accepted three thousand taels!"

"You asked me to do something, is there a problem with me charging you an extra three thousand taels?"

Qin Yao waved his hand and said, "Alright, hurry up and go, bring the silver and the beauty to meet the Emperor."

Fei Zhong: "..."

Your Majesty, you've changed!
Even if someone is utterly wicked, they shouldn't just rob their subjects of their money like that.
Not long after.

Fei Zhong found the three demons in an inn in the city and said to the fox spirit, "You still have to give me another six thousand taels."

The fox spirit was stunned: "What six thousand taels?"

Fei Zhongdang then recounted the whole story in detail, leaving the three demons looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Lord Fei, I don't have that much silver right now. How about we pay you back?" the fox spirit asked after a moment.

Fei Zhong's eyes lit up, and he suggested, "You Hun's family has some. You should go there; they're guaranteed to bring back six thousand taels."

Moreover, You Hun is a scoundrel; all his money is ill-gotten gains.

"By taking his money, you've essentially robbed the rich to help the poor, and you've done what God does."

The three demons: "..."

How can this person's heart be blacker than a monster's?

Two hours later.

Fei Zhong, carrying a box of silver, and Su Daji, dressed in a long dress and with her face veiled in white, entered through the Meridian Gate, crossed the Nine Dragon Bridge, and went to the outside of the Nine-Room Hall, where he bowed and proclaimed "Long live the Emperor!"

Inside the Nine-Room Hall, Qin Yao sat upright in the center of the throne and said indifferently, "Enter."

Fei Zhong then led Daji inside, laughing, "Your Majesty, the silver is right outside the door, and the beauty is right here."

Upon hearing this, Su Daji immediately removed her veil and gracefully bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Qin Yao had seen many beauties, including some celestial beings far surpassing this fox spirit. Therefore, unlike in the original story, he did not fall in love at first sight, his soul wandering to the heavens, his spirit scattering to the nine heavens, his bones softening and his muscles going weak, his ears burning and his eyes twitching. He simply nodded slightly: "Indeed beautiful, bestow upon her the name Consort Su."

Daji was overjoyed and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Heaven have mercy! After going through such a long and complicated process, I've finally gone from being a slave girl to a concubine. From now on, I won't have to serve anyone else and I can stay in the palace.

Qin Yao waved his hand and continued, "The three thousand taels of silver will be deposited into the national treasury. Consort Su will be settled there temporarily. That's all."

Su Daji: "..."

Why does the king still seem a bit cold?
That night.

Su Daji was left alone in her empty room, eagerly awaiting the king's arrival.

However, she waited from the first watch of the night until the end of the second watch, but still did not see the king. She had no choice but to search all the way to the Shouxian Palace, where she was stopped by the guards.

"May I ask, who will be serving you tonight?"

"Reporting to Consort Su, no one is attending to His Majesty in bed; His Majesty is preoccupied with state affairs during the day and cultivates himself at night, and has not been intimate with women for a long time," the guard replied.

Daji: "..."

If she were targeted, she might feel some resentment, but this impartial treatment left her feeling powerless. She didn't understand.

How could any man not be lustful?

Is it not going to work?

Time flies, and more than two months have passed since Daji was made a concubine, but she still hasn't been able to get the chance to serve the emperor. She was secretly anxious and had no choice but to turn back to the resourceful Shen Gongbao...

On the mountaintop.

Shen Gongbao pondered for a moment, then confirmed, "You mean, the Human King is so obsessed with cultivation that he can't extricate himself, to the point of neglecting the fundamental principles of humanity?"

Daji nodded: "That's right, this is the first time I've ever seen a king like this."

Shen Gongbao pondered, "In that case, I might try to cater to his preferences."

Daji asked curiously, "What's the plan?"

Shen Gongbao said, "Doesn't King Zhou like cultivation? Then you should offer him immortal scriptures to secure his favor and consolidate your power through dual cultivation."

Daji's eyes lit up: "What a brilliant plan!"

Shen Gongbao smiled and waved his hand: "Your Majesty flatters me. In the future, I may need Your Majesty's guidance."

He has never forgotten his mission, and the fox demon before him may be the best pawn in his plan.

The next day.

night.

Su Daji entered the Longevity Immortal Palace with a scripture in her hand, and presented the scripture to the king with a beaming smile.

Qin Yao curiously took the immortal scripture, and after just one glance, he pointed out seven flaws in it, leaving Daji dumbfounded and astonished.

"My beloved concubine, have you been deceived?" In the end, Qin Yao personally tried to smooth things over for her.

Daji's lips twitched: "Now it seems that's the case. Thank you for reminding me, Your Majesty."

"No need to stand on ceremony, go ahead," Qin Yao said gently.

Daji left feeling depressed.

The next day.

Daji presented the scripture to the king again. Qin Yao pulled her to sit on the king's chair and personally dissected it for her, pointing out the errors and shortcomings one by one, ultimately improving the quality of the entire scripture several times over.

Daji was completely dumbfounded.

Just what level of cultivation did King Zhou possess?

Another day.

Unconvinced, Daji presented her own scripture, only to have her faith shattered by the king's words, causing her to question the meaning of life. She lay in bed for three days, unable to recover.

No good.

This is the king's evaluation of her scripture.

It'll be ruined if you try to fix it.

This was the king's final whisper.

So, I'm useless?
"Sister, what's wrong?" On this day, the pipa spirit came to see the fox spirit and asked in confusion.

Su Daji cried, "I'm ruined."

Pipa Spirit: "???"

Su Daji sighed, and with a look of utter despair, explained the whole story.

The pipa spirit hesitated for a moment and said, "How about we try to find Master Shen again? He is an immortal of the Chan Sect and must have high-level immortal scriptures."

Su Daji took a deep breath and cheered herself up: "Alright, let's go find Master Shen!"

Not long after.

When they found Shen Gongbao, they discovered that he was practicing swordsmanship with the pheasant spirit, their back-and-forth exchange creating a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere.

"Something else has happened?"

Upon catching a glimpse of the two demons out of the corner of her eye, the pheasant spirit immediately sheathed her sword and asked in surprise.

Daji didn't waste any words and slowly posed the question.

Shen Gongbao remained silent for a moment, then said, "I happen to have some business to attend to at Jade Void Palace. I'll see if I can bring back a high-level immortal scripture for you..."

The next day.

The Chanmen Assembly.

As the sage finished his sermon, the disciples walked out of the Jade Void Palace one after another. Suddenly, Shen Gongbao grabbed one of them and said with a smile, "Brother Guangchengzi, please wait."

With a handsome face and a composed demeanor, Guang Chengzi turned around, concealing the disdain in his eyes, and asked softly, "Junior Brother, is there something you need?"

“I do have something to discuss. Would it be convenient for you to come to your Jiuxian Mountain?” Shen Gongbao asked.

Guang Chengzi pondered for a moment, recalling what the sage had said a few days ago, and finally agreed.

After a while.

The two brothers entered Guangchengzi's dojo side by side, and immediately a celestial boy came to greet them and offer tea, a scene that Shen Gongbao found incredibly enviable.

I wonder when he'll finally have his own dojo and this lordly demeanor!
"Junior brother, speak," Guang Chengzi asked immediately after the two sides took their seats as host and guest.

Shen Gongbao asked, "Senior brother, do you know that I received a mission from our master?"

Guang Chengzi nodded slightly: "I've heard a little about it."

Shen Gongbao said, "According to my investigation, King Zhou had two children, named Yin Jiao and Yin Hong."

I wish to guide these two children to become disciples of the Chan Sect in order to carry out our future plans. I wonder if you, senior brother, would be willing to be their master?

Guang Chengzi was stunned for a moment, then his expression suddenly turned strange.

At this moment, his stereotype of his junior brother deepened even further.

"Senior brother, if everything goes smoothly, you will definitely have a share of the credit." Seeing his strange expression, Shen Gongbao quickly said.

He no longer cares what the other person thinks of him; he'll stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Guang Chengzi was silent for a moment, then said, "Such blatant scheming against the son of the King of Men might offend Nuwa; how about this, I am willing to take the eldest son as my disciple, as for the second son, you can find someone else to entrust him with."

Shen Gongbao said, "Alright, thank you, senior brother."

Guang Chengzi waved his hand: "No need to be polite. You have made contributions and you still think of your senior brother. It is your senior brother who should be thanking you."

Shen Gongbao's eyes flashed, and he said, "Then I really won't stand on ceremony."

Guang Chengzi: "..."

Before he could react, Shen Gongbao recounted King Zhou's situation, and finally asked with anticipation:

"Does Senior Brother possess any profound and unfathomable immortal scriptures, preferably ancient scriptures that are not easily deciphered and understood?"

Guang Chengzi secretly regretted that he had been out of his mind and had been too polite to this fellow.
Now look what's happened; being overly polite has caused problems.

After a long silence, seeing that Shen Gongbao showed no intention of backing down, Guang Chengzi had no choice but to take out a piece of blue jade slip and hand it to him.

"This jade slip contains an ancient immortal scripture. I have been studying it for many years, but I have not gained much. I showed it to my master, but he only said that it was not in accordance with my path. Therefore, I will pass it on to my junior brother."

Shen Gongbao was overjoyed and quickly raised his hands to accept the jade slip: "Thank you, Senior Brother..."

Guang Chengzi shook his head and said, "If there's nothing else, you can go ahead and do your work. I should go into seclusion as well."

Although the ancient scripture inside the jade slip was like a chicken rib to him, giving it away like this still made him feel somewhat annoyed, to the point that he became increasingly displeased with Shen Gongbao.

Shen Gongbao thanked him repeatedly, then rode the wind and flew out of Jiuxian Mountain, heading straight for Taihua Mountain.

Yin Jiao's master has been chosen, and he also needs to find a master for Yin Hong so that he can secretly control these two sons of King Zhou in the future as a senior uncle!

half an hour.

After successfully persuading Chi Jingzi at Mount Taihua, Shen Gongbao turned back to the Pheasant Spirit with a beaming smile and said gently:
"Bring your elder sister here. I've found a high-level immortal scripture for her..." (End of Chapter)
