When Da Si returned to the palace, she was so angry that she smashed many of the treasures that Emperor Bing had sent her.

She really felt that Di Bing wasn't a man!

Rumors circulated that he doted on her, but only she knew that Di Bing had never touched her!

If you were a man, would you leave such a beauty as her untouched?

When she was looking for someone to possess, it took her a long time to find Da Si.

I'm very satisfied.

"Originally, after a few more days and eating a few more people, we were about to successfully lure out Emperor Bing's three souls. But who knew that the queen, who had transformed into some kind of demon, would completely ruin everything!"

To maintain her magical powers in the Western Shang Dynasty's harem, Da Si had to consume human hearts.

But now, there isn't a single person left in the entire Western Merchant's harem!

Except for an emperor protected by dragon energy!

Even if Da Si couldn't see through the true forms of those palace maids and eunuchs, she had cultivated for eight thousand years and possessed profound cultivation, enough to know that they were not human.

Da Si sat in the palace, her fox-like eyes gleaming with an eerie light.

Now, the only person she can rely on is Di Bing!

Having made up her mind to seduce Emperor Bing, Da Si dressed herself up and went to Dengfeng Palace the next day.

"Your Majesty, Consort Da has sent a bowl of rock sugar pear soup, saying it will help you cool down in the summer heat."

Emperor Bing put down the memorial in his hand, his brow twitching slightly. His tone was impatient: "What's wrong with these people? They used to be quite well-behaved, but today they're all running to my Peak Hall..."

At this point, his eyes flickered slightly: "What is the Queen doing?"

Upon hearing this, Jixiang glanced at Dibing and said, "Your Majesty, after the Queen woke up this morning, she personally prepared breakfast, then went to the Silk and Bamboo Pavilion to listen to the zither player Guan play for two hours. Afterwards, she played chess with the chess player Zhuo for two hours. Now she has returned to the palace to prepare lunch."

"Smack!"

Emperor Bing slammed the memorial on the table, his anger palpable: "Outrageous! Outrageous! Does this woman even know her place? She's always fooling around with other men."

Di Bing remembered that both the musician Guan and the chess master Zhuo were rare beauties.

Apart from him, the only other skilled people in the palace were women and eunuchs.

She didn't seek out him, the true man, but instead went for those eunuchs!

Jixiang appeared fearful, but inwardly she thought coldly: Even the Queen and the eunuchs' relationship is subject to strict rules regarding morality.

Besides, the musician Guan and the chess master Zhuo are at most considered "other demons".

Da Si was engaged in a heated debate with Consort Yang, Consort Shen, Consort Zhong, and others when she heard Emperor Bing's low growl.

The real monsters and the fake weak woman were still startled.

It's no wonder they were so obedient; firstly, although they were demons, they had no magical power whatsoever.

Secondly, although Emperor Bing is weak, he is still a powerful figure with dragon energy.

As one gains at the expense of the other, the weaker party naturally becomes the weaker one.

"Um, ladies, I have something to attend to in the palace, so I'll be leaving now~" Consort Yang, who had just been bickering happily, was the first to slip away.

Consort Zhong followed closely behind, and Consort Da Si and Consort Chen were not far behind.

"Since that woman is not virtuous, then I..."

I won't even stand up for that heartless little thing and let him remain chaste!

Emperor Bing made this difficult decision!

"Jixiang, summon Consort Da, Consort Chen, and the other two! I want..."

Pamper them!

He still couldn't bring himself to say those last four words.

However, Jixiang understood, but he hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, Consort Da and Consort Chen have just left. Should I call them back to serve Your Majesty?"

Emperor Bing's face darkened, and he waved his hand weakly, "Get out of here and let me have some peace and quiet."

Looking at Di Bing, Ji Xiang suddenly felt that this human was quite pitiful.

Di Bing also felt very pitiful.

His mother came from a poor background and was not valued by his father, which led to him also being disliked.

It's not a big deal that he's not valued; he's often bullied anyway.

Being bullied was bad enough, but he also fell in love with the woman who bullied him.

Later, unwillingly becoming king, he married the woman he loved and made her queen.

Logically speaking, he should be laughing in his sleep.

But no!

He longed to get close to the woman he loved, yet he was always afraid that it was all just a dream.

What is more frightening than not getting what you want is getting it and then losing it.

"Di Bing, you're a madman."

He's not crazy; the woman he likes is right next to him, yet he doesn't dare to get close.

Not only is she hard to get close to, but every time I see her, I can't help but say something sarcastic... or wait for her to retort to me.

What else could it be but madness?

======

"Um, I really don't understand, what is Your Majesty up to?"

Xin Yuan was puzzled and angry.

Hua Rong rubbed her temples, also puzzled.

Hua Rong tried to seduce Di Bing, but he only showed disgust towards her.

So she had no choice but to let someone else seduce him.

As a result, he suddenly became detached from worldly desires again.

For a whole month, he stayed at the Dengfeng Hall.

This is completely different from his previous behavior of treating everyone equally and visiting the harem every day.

“There are two possibilities.” Xin Ci was always clever.

"Tell me," Hua Rong said, looking at her.

"First, he's no longer capable."

Hua Rong shook her head. Ji Xiang said that Di Bing was quite impulsive every morning, so it didn't seem like it would work.

"Secondly, he no longer likes women."

Hua Rong's eyes widened, as if she had discovered a new continent.

She fell silent, thinking of the "extracurricular books" she had once inadvertently seen in some other world.

Are there any handsome male demons in Huangqi Forest?

Xin Ci was very clever and immediately replied, "The Sparrow Phoenix family has three-seven-color and nine-color peacocks."

Xin Yuan retorted, "The three-seven color is not as beautiful as the four-seven color."
