The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

Mr. Lu is right.

This group of people were so powerful that even the simple question of whether they stayed or left could shake the foundation of his rule. Fu Zhanxiong's temples throbbed as he recalled the scene of the eight great families joining forces to fight against him. The feeling of powerlessness almost drove him crazy.

Damn it... I've been so good to them, giving them gold, silver, and jewelry as long as they ask, but why are these people unwilling to obey!

It would be better to kill such a disobedient minister directly.

But he needed the eight great families to protect the country, which made him afraid to even say "yes". This feeling of frustration made him almost breathless.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Xian: "What do you want to say?"

Lu Xian bowed respectfully, his whisk gleaming silver in the candlelight. "Your Majesty, you fear the Eight Great Families because you are kind-hearted..."

There was a hint of bewitchment in his voice: "You are simply worried that without the protection of the eight great families, these monsters will run rampant and bring disaster to the world. But who says monsters are necessarily bad? People's prejudice against monsters is too great."

Fu Zhanxiong snorted coldly, his dragon robe sleeves fluttering in the wind. "So, according to you, I should let go of my prejudice against monsters and not mind driving the eight great families away?"

"good."

"Bullshit!" Fu Zhanxiong slammed the table and stood up, causing the pearl curtain of his crown to shake violently. "Monsters can increase their power by eating humans. If no one is watching, who knows what they will do?"

Lu Xian smiled and waved his whisk: "So, the king is simply in need of someone who can take care of the monsters. I have a candidate."

"Who?"

"The one lying at your feet, Miss Ziying."

"Ying'er?"

Fu Zhanxiong looked at the weak woman with a soft waist in front of him and really couldn't connect her with resisting monsters.

"To be honest, Miss Ziying is no ordinary person." Lu Xian's voice was tinged with mystery. "Her father is the ancient phoenix."

"Nonsense!" Cen Yizi took a step forward, the jade pendant on his waist jingling. "This woman is clearly a fox, how could she be a phoenix! And phoenixes are always proud, how could they be so servile as they are now!"

Lu Xian touched his whisk and sighed, "That's because Miss Ziying has a tragic past."

"In fact, Miss Ziying is the daughter of an ancient phoenix and a human. When the ancient phoenix was traveling in the human world, he fell in love with her mother and gave birth to her. However, the human body is fragile and cannot withstand the phoenix bloodline, so she died shortly after giving birth. The ancient phoenix blamed Ziying and abandoned her alone in the human world. But she is half phoenix blood after all, and can call the wind and rain to demons, and all demons will submit to her."

Cen Yizi gritted his teeth and said, "Impossible... Our Cen family's perception is correct. She is definitely a fox. My father and I can't be wrong. Your Majesty, don't be fooled by them!"

Fu Zhanxiong raised his hand, and the pearl curtain of the crown tassel shook violently: "Son of a traitor, shut up!"

Then he took the beauty into his arms again, and gently lifted Ziying's chin with his fingers: "Master Lu said that all the monsters submit to you." There was a hint of temptation in his voice: "Do you really have this ability?"

"Of course I do..." Ziying's voice was like a yellow oriole emerging from a valley, tinged with timidity. "But I was worried that the king might have a prejudice against monsters, so I didn't dare to tell you..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ziying cast a spell in the air, and suddenly a strong wind blew in the hall, and the golden bell on her wrist rang without wind.

I saw a red light piercing through the dome, accompanied by a loud eagle cry, and a black eagle with a wingspan of three meters flew through the air.

The moment the hawk's sharp claws touched the table, the lapis lazuli surface suddenly frosted.

Amidst the crowd's exclamations, the eagle feather faded away like an inky flame, transforming into a young man in black armor who knelt on one knee: "Master, are you looking for me?"

Fu Zhanxiong pushed Ziying away violently, and the dragon chair squeaked back three feet. He gripped the armrest tightly, veins popping out on the back of his hand: "What a demon!"

Ziying climbed back onto the dragon throne with a soft, boneless manner: "Don't be afraid, my king." Her fingertips stroked the back of Fu Zhanxiong's trembling hand: "This is the Black Eagle who has been practicing for three hundred years. Look at his obedient appearance, and you will know that the demon tribe can be controlled as easily as an arm."

Fu Zhanxiong looked at the eagle demon, then looked at the beauty in his arms, and sighed.

Although this skill is powerful, it is definitely a double-edged sword.

I went to the eight major families, and Ziying came. It was just a replacement of a person. Couldn't she still threaten me?

Seeing the time was right, Lu Xian immediately ran over and leaned over to whisper in Fu Zhanxiong's ear, "Your Majesty, even if Miss Ziying is half a phoenix, she is still a woman after all. Women are most easily trapped by love. If you give her a title and let her become your queen, won't she be able to be used by you? You can get a beauty and control the monster at the same time, don't you agree?"

Fu Zhanxiong licked his lips and glanced at Lu Xian thoughtfully: "That's quite true. I underestimated you before."

"Of course. The Phoenix Clan's bloodline rules over all monsters, so naturally, the one by their side is more... caring than those of the eight great families. Then, Your Majesty, I wonder if the request I made earlier can be fulfilled..."

"Alright, you want me to give you a son and a daughter to worship the mountain god. I agree. You can take your people to the cold palace to choose."

After saying that, he took out a sign and handed it to Lu Xian, waved his hand, and signaled Lu Xian to leave.

Then he said to the people from the eight great families: "Everyone, you all heard it, right? We are no longer afraid of any monsters running rampant, because my queen is a phoenix who can control monsters!"

"She's not a phoenix at all! She's a fox!"

Seeing the king's stubbornness, Cen Yizhi stopped talking. He flipped his right hand, and an ancient bronze mirror appeared in his palm. The mirror surface glowed with a faint green light. "Since the king doesn't believe it, then use this mirror to see for yourself!"

The bronze mirror flew out of his hand and hovered in mid-air. Suddenly, a golden light shone brightly on the mirror surface, and a brilliant beam of light shot directly at Ziying.

The next moment, the true form of a phoenix appeared in the mirror.

Cen Yizhi took two steps back in shock: "How... is this possible..."

"Hahahahaha! This king also had some doubts in his heart, but thanks to your Cen family, I am now completely convinced that my queen is the revered phoenix! You eight great families can no longer threaten me!"

Before he finished speaking, he turned around and sneered at Zheng Lao: "Old man, didn't you just say that your Zheng family was going to leave Canglan Country? Then why don't you leave!"

"Wait a minute..." Ziying drew circles on Fu Zhanxiong's chest. "This old man just insulted the king like this. How can the king let him go like this? You are the king of a country, and he is at best a minister. He humiliated you like this and even threatened you with a sword. How can you not teach him a lesson?"
