Many children, many blessings; the twelve ancestral witches forced marriages throughout the primordi

The farce in Heaven has temporarily come to an end with a blood-stained, tear-stained usurious loan agreement.

Meanwhile, the luxurious crystal RV of the Great Merchants' Westward Anti-Fraud Investigation Team crushed the remaining demonic energy in the Black Pine Forest and slowly drove into another country in Xiniu Hezhou—Baoxiang Kingdom.

Unlike the desolate scenes they had passed through before, the capital of Baoxiang Kingdom, though magnificent in architecture and wide in streets, was shrouded in a lingering gloom and despair.

The pedestrians on the street all wore worried expressions and hurried along, and the whole country exuded an air of decline.

All of this stems from the mysterious disappearance of the king's most beloved third princess, Baihuaxiu, many years ago, whose fate remains unknown to this day.

When eight dragons pulled the extremely luxurious crystal limousine, which resembled a divine carriage, and slowly landed in front of the palace gate, it immediately attracted everyone's attention and caused a stir.

Inside the palace, the elderly King of Baoxiang, supported by his guards, staggered out of the main hall, his eyes filled with vigilance and unease.

The RV door opened, and Jiang Liuer, dressed in a specially made small-sized regimental commander uniform, walked out first with his hands behind his back and steady steps.

His three-year-old face was full of seriousness that did not match his age.

"Jiang Liuer, head of the Great Shang Dynasty's Western Expedition Against Fraud, pays his respects to the King of Baoxiang Kingdom." His voice was clear and crisp, yet carried an undeniable official aura.

"The Great Shang... Inspection Team?" The old king looked blank; he had never heard of this name before.

Jiang Liuer nodded and got straight to the point: "We are under orders from the Great Shang Emperor and the Thirteen Ancestral Witches of the Pangu Palace to patrol Xiniu Hezhou and crack down on all illegal missionary and religious fraud activities. While passing through the Black Pine Forest, we unexpectedly uncovered a transnational kidnapping case that was extremely heinous and orchestrated by a civil servant of the Heavenly Court."

As he spoke, he turned to the side, revealing the carriage behind him.

A beautiful figure slowly stepped out of the car.

She wore a shimmering palace gown hand-sewn by the Weaver Girl, her skin as white as snow, her face exquisitely beautiful, and she exuded a pure yet powerful aura of a Great Immortal.

The moment the old king saw the person's face clearly, he was struck dumb, as if by lightning!

Tears of emotion welled up instantly in his cloudy old eyes, his lips trembled, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Shy...Shy? Is that you? My Shy!"

Looking at her father, who had aged considerably, Baihua Xiu's eyes reddened, and she quickly stepped forward and knelt down.

"Father! Your daughter is unfilial and has caused you worry!"

The father and daughter were reunited and embraced, weeping bitterly. The deeply moving scene touched all the civil and military officials around them.

After a long while, once she had calmed down, Baihuaxiu stood up with the king's help.

She recounted her experiences in the Wave Moon Cave in detail.

When the old king heard that his daughter had not only been kidnapped by a monster, but also imprisoned in a dungeon by the Heavenly Lord Haotian with the vicious Star Soul-Locking Chain, who was draining her life force day and night in an attempt to turn her into a living dead, he trembled with rage and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Heavenly Court! Heaven! This is outrageous! Although my Baoxiang Kingdom is a mortal nation, we still offer sacrifices and tributes every year, and yet he... he treats me like this!"

Baihua Xiu supported her father, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes, which then transformed into endless tenderness and admiration.

"Father, I was fortunate to be rescued by Lin Xuan, the thirteenth ancestral witch of the Pangu Palace. It was he who tore through the void and shattered the Heavenly Court's Soul-Locking Chains with his bare hands, reshaping my Dao body and allowing me to escape the sea of ​​suffering and be reborn."

As she spoke, a beautiful blush rose on her cheeks, and her voice lowered.

"Now, my daughter is the woman of the Thirteen Ancestral Witches, and she is carrying his child in her womb."

Upon hearing this, the entire hall became so quiet you could hear a pin drop!

The old king and all the officials were so shocked that their mouths were agape.

Not only did their own princess not die, but she also became the woman of the thirteen ancestral witches of the Pangu Palace, the most powerful force in the primordial world? And she's pregnant?

This...this is an incredible opportunity!

After a brief moment of shock, the old king's face instantly lit up with unparalleled ecstasy!

What Heavenly Court, what Haotian? Get out of here!

My Baoxiang Kingdom is now related to Pangu Palace by marriage!

Just then, Jiang Liuer stepped forward, seizing the perfect opportunity.

He didn't mention any gods or ghosts, but instead took out a copy of the "Agreement on Friendly Diplomatic Relations and Trade Protection between the Great Shang and China" made of gold-embossed jade slips from his storage bag.

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Court is corrupt and divine authority has fallen into the wrong hands. It is no longer the protection of the people. But our Great Shang Dynasty is based on humanity and governed by law."

Jiang Liuer read aloud the core terms of the agreement in a clear, childlike voice.

"Those who join the Great Shang system will have their citizens protected by Great Shang laws and their land blessed by Great Shang fortune. Any force that dares to infringe upon it without cause will be considered a provocation against Great Shang, and we will provide comprehensive protection including but not limited to legal aid, economic sanctions, and... a military crackdown."

"In addition, both sides will open up trade, unify currency, share resources, and develop together."

These words stirred the blood of the old king and his ministers.

This is the real support!

No more having to put up with those arrogant, demanding gods!

"Good! Good! Good!"

The old king was so excited that he said "good" three times. He pushed aside the guards beside him, stepped down from the throne, and took the jade slip from Jiang Liuer's hand.

Before the entire court of officials, he raised the jade tablet high and, with all his might, proclaimed in a loud voice:

"By imperial decree! From this day forward, my Baoxiang Kingdom formally breaks away from the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, and abolishes all sacrifices to the Heavenly Court! The entire nation shall submit to the Great Shang Dynasty, abide by the laws of humanity, and revere the Pangu Temple!"

The words had barely left his mouth!

boom--!

Above Baoxiang Kingdom, the originally thin, dim, and barely perceptible national fortune instantly condensed into a golden dragon of fortune, which, though not large, was extremely solid!

The golden dragon let out a high-pitched roar and soared into the sky without hesitation, heading east towards the unimaginably massive golden dragon of the Great Shang Dynasty's fortune that stretched across the sky!

Meanwhile, outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, in the Purple Cloud Palace.

Hongjun Daozu, who was contemplating the secrets of heaven with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

He could clearly feel that the golden thread of his Journey to the West fortune, which he had finally managed to stabilize, had been bitten off by a large chunk by a domineering force of human fortune!

As he gazed at the ever-growing golden dragon of human destiny, which seemed to rival even the Heavenly Dao, a trace of undisguised solemnity finally appeared on his aged face.

This journey to the West... is probably really about to get completely out of control.
