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

Chapter 116 The Marquis of Jizhou's Residence, "Daji's" Journey
Su Hu returned to his residence in Jizhou at full speed and began arranging for Daji to enter the palace.

The news spread quickly, sparking much discussion in Jizhou, with some in favor and others dismissing it.

Those who agree with this view do so because Di Xin was the emperor of the Shang Dynasty, a human emperor, and the legitimate successor of the human race.

Those who disdain Su Hu's behavior of climbing the social ladder and breaking off the engagement are well known to all. Su Daji, the daughter of the Marquis of Jizhou, is already engaged to Boyi Kao, the son of the Marquis of Xibo, Ji Chang.

Su Hu's act of sending Su Daji to the palace was an attempt to curry favor with the powerful and a despicable act, which is why I despise it.

Just as Su Hu finished preparing and was about to call upon the goddess Nuwa.

His eldest son, Su Quanzhong, stormed in, his anger palpable, followed by a stunningly beautiful woman.

However, unlike the former's furious expression, this figure's face was filled with anxiety.

"Father, why did you send Daji to the palace?"

King Di Xin of Shang has countless concubines in his palace, yet he has no children. If his sister enters the palace, won't that ruin her life?

Furthermore, it is widely rumored in Jizhou that the Marquis of Jizhou's family are people who climb the social ladder and are afraid of death. If we really send my sister to the palace, wouldn't that confirm these rumors?

"I disagree with this!" Su Quanzhong said angrily.

“Brother, you mustn’t be rude! Father must be suffering from unspeakable pain. I, Daji, am willing to enter the palace to ease Father’s burden.” The latter was none other than Su Daji, the daughter of the Marquis of Jizhou.

Su Hu was taken aback by his son and daughter's words. The brother and sister's relationship was indeed very good. The brother cherished his sister and the sister sacrificed herself for her cause. But was it really a complete break?
"Wait, this matter is a bit complicated. You two must not speak for a moment, and be respectful. I will explain later." Having said that, Su Hu ignored the two and respectfully bowed down, saying:

"Human Su Hu respectfully invites Lady Feng Lixi to grace us with her presence!"

A bewitching, holy figure appeared before the three of them, and smiled slightly.

"well done."

"I dare not presume. It is my honor to serve Your Highness with the utmost loyalty."

Su Hu lowered his head and said respectfully, not daring to even look at the figure.

Su Hu's son, Su Quanzhong, had a look of infatuation in his eyes, and his thoughts were self-evident.

Nuwa smiled slightly and said to Su Hu, "Su Hu, your son is much braver than you, but his strength is not up to par. He will have ten years of his lifespan reduced as punishment!"

Daji's gaze was much purer; she simply thought this fairy sister was very beautiful.

"Your daughter has a good temperament, so it's best to keep her hidden! If Di Xin sees her, he might really try to take her for himself." Nuwa commented, looking at Daji's innocent eyes, and took the opportunity to tease Di Xin, since he only told half of the story before running away.

The excuse is still about handling state affairs! Who would believe that?
This guy must be doing something secretive, and he's already finished it at Nuwa Palace. He's just waiting to return after the Investiture of the Gods!

State affairs? How could he possibly do that?

During the time when his true form was the Ziwei Emperor, he basically spent his time wandering all over the prehistoric world, except when he was in seclusion on Ziwei Star! Whenever he did handle affairs, it was mostly Taizhen who took care of them.

Not to mention a mortal emperor playing the role of a calamity-level emperor, this guy has long since given up. Handling affairs is just an excuse; his real purpose is to run away.

Upon hearing this and seeing Su Quanzhong's gaze, Su Hu was immediately enraged and stood up to kick him.

"You unfilial son! How dare you disrespect Her Majesty! Kneel down and apologize to Her Majesty!" Su Hu reprimanded.

Su Quanzhong came to his senses and was about to say something when Nuwa interrupted him.

"Alright, I don't have time to waste with you guys. Get on with the arrangements and set off for Chaoge immediately." Nuwa waved her hand, stopping Su Hu's acting, which was far too clumsy to watch.

"Yes, Your Highness, please follow me." Su Hu bowed and led the way. Su Quanzhong only came to his senses when Su Hu and Nuwa left the Marquis's residence.

"Sister, who is that person? Why is Father protecting her so much?" She was puzzled, but more than that, she wanted to find out about Nuwa.

Daji shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

……

After Su Hu respectfully escorted the Goddess Nuwa into the sedan chair, he watched as the sedan chair, escorted by the army, slowly headed towards Chaoge before subconsciously letting out a sigh of relief.

Finally, the task was completed. Wiping the sweat from his brow, he suddenly remembered Su Quanzhong's performance and what the Empress had said, and his anger flared up.

He didn't listen to a word of his advice!
That's terrible, it's reduced my lifespan by ten years.

With a dark expression, Su Hu carried a horsewhip and headed towards the Marquis's residence.

Today, I'll make this unfilial son feel a father's love!
After Su Hu returned, not long after, cries of agony and wailing for his parents came from the Hou residence. The sound lasted for a full hour.

After the screams stopped, Su Hu sat panting in a chair in the Hou residence.

Daji applied medicine to her brother's wounds, and tears welled up in the girl's eyes as she looked at his injuries.

While the medicine was being applied, Su Quanzhong would twitch occasionally, which frightened the girl so much that she quickly withdrew her hand and dared not apply any force.

Seeing Su Hu snort coldly, he got up to continue.

"Father, please stop hitting him, my brother won't be able to take it." Daji quickly got up and pleaded with Su Hu.

"Hmph! He should learn his lesson so he won't have any wicked thoughts."

"Do you know why I hit you?" After all, he was her own son. With Daji's persuasion, he took the opportunity to back down. However, he still asked a few questions. Su Quanzhong was going to take over the Marquis's mansion, and there were some things he needed to tell him.

"Father, Father, did I talk back to you?" Su Quanzhong struggled to get up and stammered.

Su Hu shook his head, saying with a hint of disappointment, "It's not that, it's that you didn't listen to your father's words."

There are some people that you and I can't afford to mess with. There are many kinds of races in this world: humans, demons, ghosts, immortals, and even saints standing at the top.

Despite my repeated warnings, you still harbored inappropriate thoughts. It is only because the Empress is kind-hearted and has a deep connection with our human race that she spared your life, though she also reduced your lifespan by ten years.

If it were someone else, it's uncertain whether anyone in my Jizhou Marquis's mansion would have survived.

In the future, do not let your eyes deceive your mind.

Just like flowers, the more beautiful a flower is, the more dangerous it is.

Because it lacked the corresponding strength, it ceased to exist long ago!

Su Hu's earnest words startled both Su Quanzhong and Daji.

Both of them thought that the holy figure was just joking, since Su Quanzhong felt no discomfort at all.

But her father insisted it was true, which made the naive Daji somewhat anxious.

"Father, has my brother really had ten years of his lifespan cut off? What can we do? Is there any cure?"

Su Hu shook his head and said with a wry smile, "No one dares to save her without Her Majesty's permission! There aren't many people in the world who can be saved, and those people are not people we can even meet."
