Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

Streets of Beijing.

The people pointed and whispered, and the discussion gradually grew louder.

"This Third Prince usually acts all respectable, but he's actually a pervert in private?"

"What a tragedy! If someone like that becomes emperor, how will we common people survive?!"

The original awe of the royal family was cracked at this moment.

……

Inside the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

The Grand Tutor of the court sat in his armchair, looking up at the sky with a livid face.

Click!

The jade thumb ring he had been handling for ten years was forcibly crushed in two.

"Where is the Imperial Observatory?! Are all the people in the Imperial Observatory dead?!"

The Grand Tutor suddenly stood up and kicked over the mahogany table in front of him.

"Think of a way immediately! Cover up this misleading and deceptive illusion! The royal family is losing all face!"

The butler outside the door was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, trembling all over.

"My lord! We've been there! The people from the Imperial Observatory are all prostrate on the ground, saying this celestial phenomenon... is beyond human control!"

……

On the Star-Picking Tower.

The Imperial Astronomical Bureau was kneeling in the torrential rain at the observatory, completely soaked.

The oppressive force emanating from the sky felt like a mountain pressing down on his head, making it impossible for him to even lift his head.

Cover? What can you use to cover it?

Such earth-shattering, heaven-reaching methods could not be shaken even if all the people in the Imperial Observatory were tied together and sacrificed!

……

Above the clouds.

Lin Mo moved his fingers again.

"End of episode one, to be continued."

The scene on the sky suddenly changed.

The sounds of vendors hawking their wares filled the air from both sides of the street.

Xia Jie, dressed in plain clothes, strolled through the streets with a few wicked servants.

His gaze fell on a tofu stall.

Behind the stall stood a girl of about fifteen or sixteen, dressed in coarse linen clothes, yet her delicate features were still evident.

Xia Jie stopped in his tracks, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

"Take her back with me."

Several wicked servants immediately pounced on her like wolves and tigers, pinning the woman down.

"What are you doing! Let go of my daughter!"

An elderly father with gray hair rushed out and grabbed the evil servant's leg tightly.

"Get out of here!"

The wicked servant drew his sword from his waist and smashed the scabbard down on the old man's head.

boom!

Brain matter splattered, and blood splattered all over the woman's face.

"father!!!"

The woman's heart-wrenching cries echoed across the land of Kyushu through the heavens.

She was forcibly dragged into a luxurious carriage by several wicked servants.

……

Inside the blacksmith's shop.

The fire in the stove was burning bright red.

A blacksmith stared intently at the sky, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, his eyes red and bloodshot.

"Beasts! These bastards who eat human food but do nothing like human beings!"

His wife, who was standing beside him, was so frightened that she hugged her daughter tightly and trembled.

"Master, keep your voice down! That's the Third Prince. Be careful not to lose your head!"

The blacksmith spat a mouthful of phlegm onto the ground.

"Losing our heads? With such evil spirits in power, sooner or later none of us will survive!"

……

Outside Heishui Pass.

A commotion broke out within the ranks of the million-strong army.

A new recruit bit his lip, and blood flowed into his mouth.

He stared intently at the girl being dragged onto the carriage in the sky, and thought of his sister who had been kidnapped by a local bully and whose whereabouts were still unknown.

"So...so they're all birds of a feather."

The recruit's voice trembled.

An old soldier next to him, missing half a front tooth, patted him on the shoulder and sighed repeatedly.

"Stop looking. In this world, we soldiers are paid to serve our masters. Just close your eyes and pretend you didn't see anything."

The recruit suddenly turned his head, his eyes bloodshot.

"Sell my life? Sell my life for this beast who kills people in the street? I'd rather die!"

……

The image on the celestial screen then rotates again.

The commoner was dragged into the East Palace. Unable to bear the humiliation, she threw herself against a stone pillar, and her beauty was cut short.

Xia Jie spat in disgust.

"What bad luck, throw it into the backyard to feed the dogs."

……

The flames of anger were ignited in the hearts of the people.

Inside the teahouse, several wandering swordsmen wearing bamboo hats slammed their fists on the table and drew their longswords, which rang out with a clear, ringing sound.

"You damned prince! You're worse than a pig or a dog! We, the heroes of the martial world, wish we could kill this treacherous dog with a single sword stroke!"

On the streets and alleys, the curses gradually coalesced into a wave of sound.

"Murder in the street! Abduction of a woman! Is there no law left in this Great Xia Dynasty?!"

"You dog prince! You beast! Kill him!"

……

Above the clouds.

Yu Ji glanced at the commotion among the soldiers and civilians below and curled her lip indifferently.

"You mortal world have so many rules. In our cultivation world, it's survival of the fittest. Killing a mortal is like stepping on an ant. What's so big about that?"

Lin Mo sneered.

"So you cultivators are the real lunatics with no bottom line."

"This is the Great Xia Dynasty, where the principle is that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it; this is called the war of public opinion."

Lin Mo snapped his fingers.

"The emotional buildup is almost done; it's time for some serious ethical drama."

Yu Ji rolled her eyes.

"What kind of perverse humor is in your head?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"This is called precise feeding. What do ordinary people like to see most? Of course, it's the royal family's lowbrow gossip. Only in this way can their filters be completely shattered."

……

A celestial transition.

Xia Jie walked into the depths of the inner palace and pushed open a door with a plaque that read "Changle Palace".

That was the bedroom of the old emperor's newly acquired favorite concubine.

Xia Jie dismissed his attendants and directly pressed the concubine onto the phoenix bed.

"Your Highness, you mustn't... The Emperor is still here..."

The concubine feigned reluctance while simultaneously welcoming.

"Father is old. From now on, this empire and this harem will all belong to me!"

Xia Jie ripped open the concubine's gauze skirt, and decadent music echoed in the sky.

Although Lin Mo precisely concealed the vital parts with a cloud of mist, the movements and sounds were enough for the whole world to understand what had happened.

……

The capital city, at the foot of the imperial city.

The civil and military officials were struck dumb.

"puff--!"

The old Minister of Rites spat out a mouthful of blood three feet away, pointed at the sky, and cried out to the heavens.

"The moral order has collapsed! They're worse than beasts! They even dared to lay a hand on their own father's concubine! Ancestors of the Great Xia Dynasty! This old minister has failed the late Emperor!"

Several officials quickly went to help him up.

"Your Excellency, please take care of yourself!"

The officials who usually fawned over Xia Jie were now ashen-faced.

The Grand Tutor's legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the bluestone slab.

"It's over, it's all over."

The Grand Tutor's lips trembled.

With such scandalous behavior in the imperial harem exposed to the public, these royalists will all be dragged down with them!

Even if Xia Jie were to ascend the throne later, who in the world would still submit to him?

The Grand Tutor pounded the ground with both hands, heartbroken and indignant.

"This scoundrel is ruining the country! This scoundrel is ruining the country!!!"

……

The public was in an uproar.

A street thug pointed at the sky and started cursing.

"Damn it! I at least pay when I go to a brothel! This son of a bitch even sleeps with his own stepmother!"

"The royal family is nothing but a giant brothel!"

"This kind of trash doesn't deserve to be emperor!"

……

Blackwater Pass, on the city wall.

Qin Ruxue looked at the sky with disgust, then turned and spat towards the outside of the city wall.

"Utterly disgusting! How dare this kind of person command an army?"

Meng Hu swung his broadsword at the ground, cursing loudly.

"Damn it! I thought royalty was so noble! Turns out they've been doing all this behind the scenes! Well done, my lord! You've exposed this scoundrel!"

The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army were filled with righteous indignation, and their morale soared.

"My lord is mighty! Kill that dog prince!"

……

Above the clouds.

Lin Mo thought the fire was almost done.

The royal authority has been utterly destroyed.

The aura of Xia Jie as crown prince has completely turned into a death warrant.

Next, it's time for the main course.
