Ah? The ladies I stabbed have come true.

Chapter 24: The Princes Come to Pay Homage, Bo Yikao's Three Treasures
[Looking at Daji's cold expression, you can't help but wonder if what happened before was just a dream.]

[But you noticed a hint of red on the delicate skin behind Daji's neck. That was the mark you sucked out.]

[As if noticing your gaze, Daji flipped up her collar, and the mark you left was instantly covered by the clothing.]

"Let's go."

"Now that the princes have come to pay homage, they also want to verify whether the King of Shang has woken up."

"After I use my Tushan secret method to change your appearance, those princes won't notice."

"I just heard that Bo Yikao, the son of the Marquis of Xibo, brought three treasures as tribute this time."

"Among these three treasures, the Zhen-faced Ape is a faceless white ape that understands yin and yang, knows the past, and knows the present."

"Every hair on the body is a naturally grown yarrow. Using it for divination will greatly increase the accuracy."

"You must not confront this monkey directly."

[Daji also talked about many things to pay attention to when attending court. After hearing Daji's careful instructions, you understood the importance of this meeting and nodded.]

"rest assured."

【After you finished speaking, you stopped talking.】

[Following Daji and other attendants, we arrived at the lofty and majestic Lutai.]

[It was morning, and the morning light streamed in through the open window, illuminating the room with brilliant light.]

[The princes who had arrived a few days ago stood on both sides of the hall, with the treasures they were offering as tribute behind them.]

[You now see a handsome young man with elegant manners. He is quite handsome, and his every move exudes nobility.]

[Behind this man were three objects of varying sizes covered in black cloth.]

"This is Bo Yikao. Be careful next time."

[Daji didn't open her mouth, but you could hear her voice.]

You nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then sat down with Daji on the throne that represented the supreme royal power.

[The moment the princes saw you, a sense of panic spread throughout their hearts. They had never imagined that the rumors were true. King Di Xin of Shang had awakened.]

[Some ministers who were unaware of the situation were also very excited after seeing this.]

【Tears streamed down my face in excitement.】

"The king has awakened!"

“God bless Da Shang, God bless Da Shang!”

"The Great Shang Dynasty will surely be forever secure, forever secure!"

……

For a moment, the hall was filled with noises, but a flicker of displeasure flashed across Bigan's eyes, clearly aware of your impersonation of the King of Shang.

Following Daji's instructions, you looked at the ministers and princes with a satisfied smile, your eyes scanning each one.

[Those who are caught in your gaze will immediately become terrified and dare not neglect etiquette in the slightest.]

【Until you have seen all of them. 】

[As soon as you spoke, your voice had already changed to that of the Shang King.]

"My dear ministers, your loyalty is a comfort to me."

"In the future, you must continue to work hard for the Yin Shang Empire!"

Upon hearing this, the ministers and princes immediately expressed their gratitude.

"Long live my king!"

"Long live my king!"

[After some pleasantries, today's highlight begins.]

[First, a prince of the Dongyi tribe, a middle-aged man with extremely thick hair and beard, and an attendant behind him holding a strangely shaped mask.]

[Then he began to explain the function of the mask.]

"This is the Nine-Skull Nuo Mask, made from mermaid bones from the East China Sea. It contains nine blood-red mermaid pearls dug out from the belly of the mermaid royal family. Whoever wears it can understand the language of all beasts and command the mermaid clan."

[Others heard this and whispered to each other, never expecting the first treasure presented today to be so remarkable.]

[I wonder if the remaining ones will be even more precious?]...

[Next, the princes along the way offered their treasures one after another. Even though the process was simple, you didn't feel bored. Instead, you became somewhat addicted to the taste of power.]

Nanchu presented nine jade figurines, each covered in a jade garment made of Xiuyan jade and gold threads. Inside were nine jade puppets that looked like living people. These puppets were incredibly beautiful, not only able to sing and dance, but also exuding a unique fragrance.

The Guifang tribe presented a "blood wine pot." Pour water into the pot and pour it out from the spout, and it will turn into a nectar, prolonging the lifespan of the drinker and strengthening their bones and muscles.

The Baiyue offered a pair of "Jade-faced Snake Princesses," beautiful twins covered in snake-god tattoos, skilled in the rain-praying shamanic dance.

[Others include the ice-patterned spear of the Western Rong, the bronze sacred tree of the Bashu people, the Kui Niu war drum of the Northern Di people, and so on.]

After most of the treasures were presented, only Xibohou's eldest son, Bo Yikao, had not presented his own treasures.

[The other princes were also very curious.]

[Because everyone knows that Xiqi has three treasures that are unrivaled in the world: the human bone chariot, the soul-devouring cloak, and the ape-faced monkey.]

Everyone has heard that Xibohou Jichang brought all three treasures with him to celebrate the reawakening of King Di Xin of Shang.

Looking at the curious crowd, Bo Yikao's face showed a hint of arrogance, and then he ordered his men to transport the first treasure to the front of the hall.

When the black veil was lifted, you saw a chariot made from the spines of eight hundred human sacrifices, and its four wheels were made from four human skulls as huge as water tanks.

[There seems to be a mysterious force pulling the two together, allowing them to move in mid-air.]

【Bo Yikao was introduced at this time. 】

"This is a human bone axle, made from the vertebrae extracted from the bodies of eight hundred strong slaves."

"And the four heads below are the skulls of the Wuhuang tribe."

"Even in death, there is a tremendous amount of sorcerer power contained within it, capable of traveling eight hundred miles through the air. Upon reaching the destination, all that is required is a human sacrifice, and the power will be restored to its peak."

[Wuhuang tribe? ]

[You don't know what the Wuhuang Clan is, but we're in the Lutai Hall now. Asking now would only make you look timid.]

[But just when you were about to give up asking, Daji's voice appeared in your ears.]

"The Wuhuang Clan is the ancestor of all Wus in ancient times. I, Tushan, am a descendant of the Wuhuang Clan. This skull under the human sacrifice bone should have been found by Xiqi when they dug up a Wuhuang Clan grave."

[After hearing Daji's words, you suddenly realized that there is such a magical race in this world.]

After introducing the human sacrifice bone chariot, Bo Yikao went on to introduce the next treasure, the Soul-Eating Cloak.

[The Soul-Eating Cloak is a black cloak made of patchwork pieces of Nightmare Tapir skin, and the inside is engraved with crooked oracle bone runes.]

[Once donned, this Soul Devouring Cloak will devour the host's soul bit by bit. However, while devouring the soul, you will gain the ability to read other people's memories.]

If used properly, it can be a treasure.

After introducing the Soul Devouring Cloak, the last treasure, the Proverb-Faced Ape, was also unveiled from its black cloth.

[A monkey with pure white hair appeared in front of everyone.]

[You should always remember Daji's instructions and never look directly at this monkey.]

[But the black cloth was removed so quickly that you didn't have time to turn around and collided head-on with the ape.]

[And you also clearly saw the true appearance of the ape.]

Where the face should be, there's nothing there, leaving only a smooth, eerie blank.

The blank space seems to have a mysterious attraction, constantly engulfing the gazes of those around it, swallowing up all expressions and emotions, and transcending all joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

【Just the next second.】

[The ape is like an inflated ball, expanding from the inside out.]

[There is no time to show off one's own magical powers. ]

【boom! 】

【The entire body exploded instantly.】

【This moment.】

[Above the hall, blood and flesh flew everywhere! ]
