Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Before Di Xin could say anything more, Chu Xin said directly, "Your Majesty, I will not disturb your hunting pleasure any longer and will return now."

Once she finished speaking, she gracefully departed, a departure no one could stop.

Di Xin had no more interest in hunting. He looked unwillingly in the direction Chu Xin had left and said, "Such a beauty should stay by my side."

Fei Zhongyouhun looked terrified; that was a fox demon!

He quickly coaxed, "Your Majesty, although that fox demon is considered a beauty, in my opinion, there may be even more beautiful women among them."

"Oh? You know someone even more beautiful?"

Di Xin stared intently at Fei Zhong. The departure of the beauty had already greatly displeased him. If Fei Zhong could not give him a satisfactory answer at this moment, no matter how favored Fei Zhong was, he would make this arrogant man lose his head today.

Fei Zhong broke out in a cold sweat. What was he supposed to say? But judging from the king's expression, he was afraid he would lose his life if he didn't get an explanation today.

If the king were to bring the fox spirit into the palace, the two of them who accompanied the king on his hunting trip would be skinned alive by those old ministers. But if the fox spirit wasn't allowed into the palace, where would he find someone more beautiful?

Just when I was at my wit's end, a sudden flash of inspiration struck me, and my mind raced with thoughts. An answer seemed to be emerging from the depths of my being.

"It is said that Su Hu of Ji Province has a beloved daughter, now sixteen years old, possessing unparalleled beauty and a serene, virtuous nature. Whenever she goes out, the people all stop to admire her, losing their will to work; she is known as the most beautiful woman in Ji Province. In my humble opinion, Su Hu's daughter may not be inferior to the fox demon from before!"

Fei Zhong felt that he was incredibly wise today! He was able to react in such a critical moment.

After a moment's thought, Emperor Xin decided to let go of his concerns about the beauty from before. After all, she was a fox spirit, raised by Chu Xin. If he brought her into the palace, those old ministers might cause another uproar. Why not have a beauty whose status was legitimate and whose looks rivaled those of a fox spirit?

When You Hun saw that Fei Zhong had stolen the limelight, he thought, "How can this be allowed? We agreed to be favored ministers together, but you're secretly stealing the limelight by yourself!"

Not to be outdone, they immediately bowed and flattered, saying, "Your humble servants are willing to go on a mission to Jizhou on behalf of Your Majesty to invite a beautiful woman into the palace to accompany Your Majesty and alleviate Your Majesty's lovesickness."

"Hahaha, very good! Then I order my two ministers to go to Jizhou and have Su Hu present his daughter to the palace as a concubine." Emperor Xin was overjoyed. He put away the golden bow and immediately ordered Fei Zhong and You Hun to go to Jizhou. After saying this, he set off for the palace.

After everyone left, the lake returned to its calm state, its clear waters reflecting the sky.

A gentle breeze swept by, a flash of white light, and the fairyland-like lake and garden vanished, leaving only a lush, silent forest.

At the Imperial Preceptor's residence in Chaoge, the nine-tailed fox, now fully transformed into human form, stood before Chuxin: "Immortal Master, is this truly permissible? What if Emperor Xin really takes the daughter of Marquis Su Hu of Jizhou into the palace?"

Chu Xin smiled faintly. Before the Nine-Tailed Fox entered Chaoge, he had received a message from his master. He found the Nine-Tailed Fox sisters before they took action and planned today's encounter. Naturally, he had also calculated all possible scenarios in his mind.

"The daughter of Marquis Su Hu of Ji Province will not enter the palace, and the court officials will not agree to him forcibly taking a subject's daughter. Moreover, with you here, why would Emperor Xin defy the court officials and launch a large-scale army to seize a woman whose appearance he does not even know?"

The nine-tailed fox still had reservations: "But if Di Xin finds out I'm a fox spirit so early..."
