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

"Xi Mei, you should go with them to Xiqi and protect Daji." Bu Ran easily gave the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit a reasonable identity and a reason to stay in Xiqi.

"Yes, Ximei obeys!"

Although the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit is beautiful, she is not vulgar in her demeanor. On the contrary, she is poised and elegant, making people feel that she is worthy of the phoenix bloodline within her.

"Thank you, Master!" Daji said, and was about to kneel down and kowtow, and Boyi Kao followed suit.

Bu Ran used magic to lift the two of them up: "No need to be polite, let's go!"

Bu Ran did not want to take Su Daji as his disciple. If it weren't for his master's order to come to Jizhou to teach Su Daji, he would not have liked such a beautiful but troublesome woman who lacked the ability to protect herself.

The nine-headed pheasant spirit transformed into its original form, allowing Boyi Kao and Su Daji to sit on its back. With a flap of its wings, the three of them were already outside Jizhou City.

Su Hu personally carried Daji's portrait and rode swiftly to Chaoge to plead guilty. He traveled almost half the distance faster than You Hun and secretly entered the Imperial Preceptor's residence that very night.

The next day at court, Su Hu went to court to plead guilty: "My daughter Daji was betrothed to Boyi Kao, the eldest son of the Marquis of Xibo, since childhood, and they were married just half a month ago. When Lord Youhun arrived in Jizhou with the King's decree, my daughter and her husband were already preparing to go to Xiqi."

Although I had no intention of doing so, I have ultimately defied the imperial decree and have come here to plead guilty!

Di Xin slammed his hand on the desk: "Su Hu, do you want to die by disobeying my imperial decree?"

Shang Rong immediately stepped forward to plead for Su Hu: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Since the daughter of the Marquis of Jizhou is already married, she naturally cannot enter the palace to serve you. Your Majesty already has a Queen, Consort Huang, and Consort Yang in your palace, so why..."

Upon seeing Di Xin's expression, Bigan knew things were not good and stepped forward to interrupt Shang Rong: "Your Majesty, why don't you issue an order for the feudal lords to present portraits of their daughters who are not yet married? Your Majesty can then choose a dignified and virtuous woman from among them to serve in the palace."

Bi Gan gave Shang Rong a look, signaling him to stop talking.

Emperor Xin remained dissatisfied: "They are all vulgar and common women, utterly unbearable to look at!"

"Is there truly no one in the entire world more to my liking than that beauty? I am the ruler of the world, yet none of the beauties I desire can enter my embrace!"

Bi Gan noticed Di Xin's "that beauty" and "one after another." Since the daughter of Marquis Su Hu of Ji Province was already married, why couldn't the other one enter the palace? And how could the king be willing to give up on her?

The king has already decided to take a concubine. Since he cannot be dissuaded, why not let a woman who is of one mind with the queen and the loyal ministers enter the palace? Perhaps, with someone advising him, the king can avoid doing some foolish things.

"I wonder if Your Majesty has anyone else in mind? If she is unmarried and of dignified appearance, she might be suitable to be brought into the harem!"

Di Xin looked at Chu Xin and thought: If these old guys all agree to let the spirit fox enter the palace, you can't disobey the imperial decree!

Di Xin didn't believe any of Chu Xin's reasons. Such a beautiful woman—it was clear this scoundrel Bu Ran wanted to possess her all to himself!

Bi Gan also looked at Chu Xin: "Imperial Preceptor?"

"When His Majesty was hunting before, he encountered my spirit beast and was amazed by its extraordinary appearance. He wished to bring it into the palace." Chu Xin spoke calmly, as if nothing could move him, but his words shocked the entire court.

"Longevity Mountain is the abode of sages, and its spiritual energy is the purest in the world. The spirit fox, which absorbed this spiritual energy and took its form, is naturally exceptionally beautiful, far surpassing any human woman. If Your Majesty wishes to find a woman more beautiful than the spirit fox among the human race, it will not be an easy task."
