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

Inside the top-floor office of the Ministry of Commerce in Chaoge City.

Su Daji was dressed in an extremely smart black business dress.

She was sitting behind a large desk made of fine sandalwood, her brow furrowed as she checked the military expenditures for the month.

Since the Shang Dynasty annexed Xiqi, its territory has expanded more than tenfold.

The daily flow of spirit stones in and out was entirely managed by her, the Minister of Commerce.

"Pat, pat."

Her slender fingers moved swiftly across the abacus of supreme merit, producing a crisp clinking sound.

This abacus is a magical artifact personally crafted by Lin Xuan. It can not only be used for accounting, but also to attack people without being able to defend themselves.

A cold wind blew in from outside the window, causing the heavy curtains to sway slightly.

Su Daji was completely unaware, as she was totally absorbed in the extremely complex numbers.

Just then, a very faint dark shadow slipped in through the crack in the window.

Guang Chengzi pressed himself against the ceiling, staring intently at Su Daji below.

He recognized the woman at a glance.

The nine-tailed fox from Xuanyuan Tomb is now the God of Wealth of the Shang Dynasty.

Although she is a demon, in this city of Chaoge, she represents the face of the Great Shang Dynasty.

"Killing her would absolutely throw the Shang Dynasty's economy into chaos!"

Guang Chengzi roared with extreme excitement in his heart.

He could feel the Blood Transformation Divine Blade trembling violently in his hand.

This knife is extremely bloodthirsty; if it even slightly scratches the skin, even a Taiyi Golden Immortal will instantly turn into a pool of pus and blood.

Using it to deal with a fox demon who isn't even a Golden Immortal is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Guang Chengzi no longer hesitated. He held his breath and frantically poured his magical power into the blade.

The Blood-Transforming Divine Blade emitted an extremely pungent, bloody odor.

He suddenly pounced down from the ceiling, gripped the knife in both hands, and slashed down hard at Su Daji's fair neck!

"Die! You monster!"

Guang Chengzi screamed inwardly, eager to see the scene of blood gushing out.

The blade, accompanied by an extremely terrifying whooshing sound, instantly struck Su Daji at the back of the neck.

Su Daji didn't even have time to turn around.

"when--!!!"

A deafening metallic clang suddenly erupted in the office!

No blood gushed out.

No head fell to the ground.

The moment the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade touched Su Daji's skin, an extremely dazzling dark golden light suddenly burst out from her close-fitting clothes!

That was a [Explosion-Proof Inner Armor] personally crafted by Lin Xuan using top-grade star iron and black tortoise shell!

Specifically designed to guard against all kinds of sneak attacks from the sixth brother.

When the extremely sharp blade of the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade struck the golden light, it was as if it had struck an ancient divine mountain.

"Snap!"

A very crisp breaking sound rang out.

That top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, which was said to be able to transform all things, actually had a large gash chipped into its blade!

An extremely terrifying force, ten times stronger than normal, surged wildly back into Guang Chengzi's arms along the hilt of the sword!

"ah--!"

Guang Chengzi let out an extremely shrill scream.

His hands exploded instantly from the tiger's mouth, and blood spurted out.

It was as if he had been hit head-on by a charging ancient beast, and he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the hard wall.

"Boom!"

The wall was smashed, leaving a large crater, and rubble was falling down with a clatter.

Guang Chengzi lay on the ground, his face contorted in pain.

He stared intently at his blood-soaked hands, his mind going blank for a moment.

How is this possible?!

This is the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade bestowed upon me by my master!

A weapon that even a Great Luo Golden Immortal wouldn't dare to directly confront could not even scratch the skin of a fox demon?!

Have all the officials of the Great Shang Dynasty dressed this outrageously now?!

Startled by the commotion, Su Daji finally turned around.

She frowned with extreme displeasure as she looked at Guang Chengzi, who was lying on the ground with a chipped and broken knife in his hand.

"Why are you causing trouble at the Ministry of Commerce in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

She didn't take Guang Chengzi seriously at all, and instead grabbed the merit abacus on the table.

"A wall was damaged, and the repair cost is five thousand top-grade spirit stones."

"Disrupting my official duties will incur a fine of ten thousand top-grade spirit stones for emotional distress."

While fiddling with the abacus, Su Daji coldly reported the accounts.

With each click of the abacus beads, Guang Chengzi's heart trembled.

He recognized the abacus in the woman's hand.

Last time, his junior brother, Dao Xing Tian Zun, was hit by this thing and suffered a severe concussion!

Extreme fear instantly overwhelmed Guang Chengzi.

He no longer cared about the assassination mission or the reputation of the Chan Sect.

He only had one thought in his mind right now.

run!

If he doesn't run now, once those lunatics from the Pangu Palace arrive, he won't even have any ashes left!

Despite the excruciating pain that felt like his arms were broken, Guang Chengzi suddenly sprang to his feet.

He didn't dare utter a single harsh word, smashing the window next to him and transforming into a streak of light that shot into the night sky.

Su Daji watched his fleeing figure and gave a cold laugh with utter contempt.

"Trying to skip out on the bill? At Dashang, no one can owe me money."

She couldn't be bothered to chase after him, and simply sat back down in her chair with great leisure, taking a sip of her tea.

Because she knew very well that there were even more terrifying debt collectors waiting for him outside.
