The Primordial Era: The Mythical Path Beginning with the Jie Sect

Chapter 115 The True "Demon" Queen
The following year, the day arrived when all the feudal lords of the land paid tribute.

Among the eight hundred vassal lords, the four vassal lords of the east, west, south, and north were the most powerful, namely, the Eastern Marquis Jiang Hengchu, the Western Marquis Ji Chang, the Southern Marquis E Chongyu, and the Northern Marquis Chonghouhu.

Although these feudal lords were not in Chaoge, they still had eyes and ears there and were aware of some things happening in Chaoge.

They all presented gifts to Fei Zhong and You Hun, two of Emperor Xin's favorites.

As the saying goes: Before going to summon the emperor, one first comes to pay respects to the prime minister.

But there are always exceptions. Marquis Su Hu of Ji Province was fiery and upright. He disdained to pay attention to villains like Fei Zhong and You Hun, and sending them gifts was simply wishful thinking.

This is why the two of them held a grudge against him.

Finding a time, he carefully told Di Xin about Su Hu's daughter.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that Marquis Su Hu of Ji Province has a daughter named Daji, who is beautiful and talented, and gentle and virtuous. She can be brought into the palace to serve you. If there is only one of her, I believe the ministers will not object."

Di Xin glanced at the two of them.

"Summon Su Hu tomorrow. Now you may leave!"

The two bowed and withdrew.

“Zi Shou, these two are not good people.” Nuwa appeared beside Di Xin, but this time she revealed her true form, with a long snake tail wandering around.

"Uncle-Master, what good people or bad people are there in the world? This is just the view of worldly people. Anyone who touches their own interests is a bad person."

Whether for fame or for profit, it's all the same.

Even we are no exception. Isn't the purpose of cultivating the Tao to reach a higher realm? "Di Xin said helplessly.

What about treacherous officials?
Sycophants are faster and better at getting things done than loyal ministers because they want to please the monarch and understand where their power comes from. Most sycophants are after personal gain.

Loyal ministers, on the other hand, desire fame, so they act like saints, wholeheartedly serving the people and being selfless.

Therefore, even though Emperor Xin knew that these two were treacherous ministers, he still used them.

Nuwa rolled her eyes at Di Xin, then ignored him and went back to lie down on Di Xin's bed.

next day
When Su Hu learned that the Earth Core wanted to see him alone, he was a little surprised, but he didn't think much of it and went to the palace.

When he encountered Fei Zhong and You Hun in the palace, he knew that it must have been these two villains who were behind it.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Su Hu bowed to Emperor Xin.

"Rise, my dear minister!" Di Xin gestured to help them up, then said to Fei Zhong and You Hun, "You may leave now. I want to speak with the Marquis of Ji Province alone."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two obediently left.

After the two figures walked out, Di Xin said to Su Hu, "I have heard that you have a daughter who is as beautiful as a princess, and who is both beautiful and intelligent."

I wish to summon her to the palace; I wonder what the Marquis of Jizhou thinks of this.

Su Hu's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty has thousands of concubines, of all shapes and sizes, is that not enough to amuse you?"

Di Xin turned his head slightly, and in his eyes was reflected a graceful figure covering her mouth and chuckling softly.

"Why should Your Majesty listen to the flattering words of treacherous officials? I am but a humble woman, lacking in manners and etiquette, and my virtue and appearance are both unworthy of praise. How could I possibly be qualified to accompany Your Majesty?"
"I hope Your Majesty will devote yourself to governing the country, befriend virtuous ministers, and distance yourself from treacherous officials, so that future generations will know that Your Majesty cultivated a righteous mind and character, accepted advice and listened to remonstrance, and was not a lustful ruler. Would that not be wonderful?"

When Di Xin saw the figure beside him grinning from ear to ear, his own lips twitched.

"Su Hu, I want Daji, but this Daji is not your daughter! She is this wicked queen who wreaks havoc on the world!"

As he spoke, Di Xin pointed at Nuwa.

"Humph!"

A seductive female voice reached their ears.

Su Hu was stunned and didn't understand what Di Xin meant. He then saw Di Xin seem to have been pushed hard and fall onto the throne.

At that moment, a figure exuding both allure and holiness appeared in the hall.

"What kind of monster is this? This is the Human Emperor! How dare you be so presumptuous!" Su Hu was stunned, but upon seeing the snake's tail, he immediately shouted loudly to scare away the monster and to alert the guards. "Alright, stop shouting. Your voice won't carry," Di Xin said to Su Hu, standing up as if nothing had happened.

"Your Majesty, what... what's going on?" Su Hu asked hurriedly when he saw that the demon had stopped attacking.

Di Xin had no choice but to explain, otherwise things would get out of hand.

"This is an ancient deity. He has important business in the mortal realm. Do not ask any further questions."

"Take the Empress back, then send her back in Daji's name. Understand?"

"Yes, Your Majesty understands," Su Hu replied.

"Yes, go down! This matter must not be publicized. After returning, immediately go back to Jizhou, prepare everything, and then chant 'Feng Lixi,' and the Empress will appear."

"Step back!" Di Xin gave another instruction before waving him away.

"Yes." Su Hu bowed and left the main hall.

As soon as Su Hu's figure disappeared, the snake's tail attacked instantly.

Di Xin did not hide, because he could not hide.

The snake's tail wrapped around Di Xin several times and brought him before Nuwa.

"Who am I? A wicked queen who wreaks havoc on the world?"

Her slender, jade-like fingers lightly touched Emperor Xin's forehead.

"Uncle-Master, you are the Nuwa of the Demon Clan, so it's true that you are a demon!"

"Humph!"

"It's not wrong for your beauty to have captivated all living beings in the primordial world, is it?"

"Hmph! I'll settle the score with you later!"

The snake's tail released Di Xin, and its alluring figure walked to the throne, reclining and sitting down.

"Come here. The Legend of Sword and Fairy you mentioned last time, I seem to be able to sense the existence of that world, it's just a bit far away."

"Is the Celestial Mirror with you? I can use it."

"No, the Observatory Mirror is currently in use and cannot be used for other purposes." Di Xin refused without hesitation.

The matter concerning the main body is the most important; everything else can take a backseat, even the Investiture of the Gods.

Furthermore, in the world of Chinese Paladin, one cannot risk connecting before finding the origin of the original body.

That world is home to great gods like Nuwa and Fuxi. Who knows if it's a world that's been projected from the heavens, or a manifestation of some people?
Let's wait until the source is found before discussing anything else!

"Hmph! Then tell me about Xiao Shihao again. Last time you only got started before you ran away."

"Uh, it was the main body that did it, it has nothing to do with me."

……

After returning to Jizhou, Marquis Su Hu immediately summoned his men to return to Jizhou. Of course, on the way, they also searched for the ancient god Feng Lixi, but before they could find Feng Lixi, they found the one with a human head and a snake's body.

The Holy Mother of Humanity, Goddess Nuwa.

Su Hu looked at the information he had found in his hand and almost threw it away.

Although he had heard about Di Xin's absurd deeds in Nuwa Palace, he only took it as a joke. He never expected that he would actually meet the Goddess Nuwa, and that she would actually enter the palace in place of his daughter. This truly shocked him.

"Do everything as Di Xin says, and this matter must not be revealed to outsiders!" That voice appeared in his ears again.

Su Hu quickly bowed in respect.

"Yes, ma'am."
