"Are you sure you want me to go to Chaoge directly as a nine-tailed fox demon like this?"

Although Daji had already accepted Shen Gongbao's boldness, she was still taken aback when he suggested that she go to Chaoge directly as a nine-tailed fox demon.

Qing'e, standing to the side, also stared wide-eyed, her face filled with bewilderment.

"Shen Gongbao, didn't you say before that Daji was in mortal danger going to Chaoge as a nine-tailed fox demon? Now you're letting her go directly to Chaoge like this, isn't that like sending a lamb to the slaughter?"

Shen Gongbao's lips curled up slightly:

"If Daji's purpose in going to Chaoge is to harm all living beings, then her identity as a nine-tailed fox demon should naturally be concealed as much as possible. But if she is only going to seduce King Zhou on the orders of the Goddess Nuwa, then why go through all that trouble!"

Qing'e was puzzled:

Is there really a difference between the two?

Shen Gongbao smiled slightly:

"Of course there's a difference. If Daji goes to Chaoge and then harms loyal officials and slaughters the people, then naturally there will be self-proclaimed righteous people who want to slay the demon. But if she only bewitches King Zhou..."

Shen Gongbao gave Daji a malicious look:

"Even if the spring night is short and the sun rises high, and the king no longer holds morning court, I think no one would be so bold as to interfere in King Zhou's private life for the sake of Goddess Nuwa!"

Qing'e paused for a moment.

Because he suddenly realized that things might really be as Shen Gongbao said: if Daji acted in the name of the goddess Nuwa and did not do anything outrageous, not only would the officials and talented people in the court not cause trouble for Daji, but even King Zhou would probably have to worship Daji.

In that case, Daji's days in Chaoge must have been too easy.

"But wouldn't this completely contradict Nuwa's original intention? What if Nuwa holds Daji accountable?"

Seeing Qing'e's still worried expression, Shen Gongbao couldn't help but chuckle.

"How did it contradict Nuwa's original intention?"

"The task that Goddess Nuwa gave to your sister Daji was to bewitch the king. I believe that your sister Daji can do that. As long as King Zhou can't even leave the palace without having to lean against the wall, how can Goddess Nuwa say that she didn't do her best?"

"you……"

Qing'e blushed instantly and hid behind Daji:

"Sister Daji, look at the terrible ideas Shen Gongbao is coming up with!"

"Ha ha……"

Shen Gongbao burst into laughter, then turned his gaze back to Daji.

However, this time, Shen Gongbao's tone became extremely solemn:

"Of course, there is another reason why you don't hide your identity. It's to keep an eye on Goddess Nuwa. Once all the beings in the prehistoric world know that you, Daji, went to Chaoge on Goddess Nuwa's orders, even if she wants to abandon you, she will have to weigh the pros and cons. This is a guarantee for you."

Upon hearing this, Daji's previously somewhat bewildered eyes instantly shone with a dazzling light.

She looked deeply at Shen Gongbao, then suddenly smiled, a smile that carried a hint of relief and gratitude.

"Shen Gongbao, thank you very much."

She spoke softly, her voice lacking its usual allure but filled with sincerity.

Having said that, she turned to look at Qing'e and Xing Tian beside her, her tone relaxed:

"This time, I'm really leaving!"

Without waiting for Qing'e and the other woman's reply, Daji turned and transformed into a beam of white light, soaring into the sky and flying towards Chaoge.

She has decided to follow Shen Gongbao's advice and enter the palace openly as a nine-tailed fox demon, to "bewitch the king" on the orders of the goddess Nuwa.

Watching Daji's departing figure, Qing'e still felt some worry:

"Shen Gongbao, is this really alright?"

Shen Gongbao turned to look at the Third Prince Ao Bing, who was not far behind him:

"Ao Bing, I'll trouble you to return to Chongcheng now and have Chong Houhu immediately send someone to Chaoge to spread the word that Daji has entered the palace to serve King Zhou on the orders of the Goddess Nuwa!"

Having said that, Shen Gongbao looked at Qing'e again and smiled:

"Are you satisfied now?"

As they spoke, an ice-blue information panel, invisible to everyone else, appeared before Shen Gongbao:

[The host persuades Daji to lie down and passively resist the emperor's decree, completing optional task 3: Persuade someone to lie down, unlocking a gold-level lottery]

Before Shen Gongbao could react, the giant lottery disc reappeared in front of him.

Shen Gongbao's lips curled slightly upward as he silently recited in his heart:

"start!"

As the pointer continued to spin, one reward after another appeared in front of Shen Gongbao.

The gold-level lottery still has quite a few rare items. As the pointer moved away from the items that Shen Gongbao liked, he kept silently lamenting the pity.

The next second, the clock stopped.

Shen Gongbao's pupils contracted sharply as he looked at the item the pointer was pointing to.

The essence and blood of the ancestral witch (Gonggong).

The system actually let me draw this item?

What does this mean?

"What's wrong?"

Xing Tian noticed Shen Gongbao's unusual behavior and asked in a gruff voice.

Shen Gongbao quickly composed himself and told a lie with a smile:

"Nothing, just thinking about some interesting things. I wonder if King Zhou would dare to enter her room now that Daji has entered his harem?"

This time, Shen Gongbao was quite satisfied with his ability to persuade Daji.

This not only saved many famous warriors of the Shang Dynasty from tragic deaths, but also gave Daji a chance to survive.

Of course, Daji's reformation was another minor setback for the members of the Chan Sect.

Killing three birds with one stone.

Perfect!

……………

At the same time, Nuwa, who was far away in the Nuwa Palace, suddenly opened her eyes and frowned slightly.

She sensed a subtle change in one of her chess pieces, but when she tried to investigate further, she found the secrets of the game had become unclear.

"With this great calamity unfolding, the ways of Heaven are unpredictable; indeed, this is troublesome..."

After pondering for a moment, Goddess Nuwa finally decided to hold back for the time being.

After all, the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods has only just begun, and there are many variables. She does not want to reveal her plans too early.

…………

After saying goodbye to Shen Gongbao and the other two, Daji did not stop for a moment.

Three days later, Daji appeared outside Chaoge City.

Daji had already transformed into human form, dressed in white, and gracefully walked towards the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city were immediately awestruck by the woman's stunning beauty and rushed forward to inquire.

Daji smiled slightly, her voice clear, cold, and noble:

"I am an envoy of the goddess Nuwa, and I have come to pay homage to the King of Shang."

Soon, the news reached the palace. Upon hearing that an envoy of the Goddess Nuwa had arrived, the hall was instantly thrown into chaos.

All the civil and military officials present knew about King Zhou's previous visit to Nuwa Palace to offer incense.

"This must be the goddess Nuwa sending people to punish my Yin Shang!"

"What should we do?"

Without Wen Zhong, a veteran of three reigns, in charge, the scene instantly descended into chaos.

Just then, a soldier rushed into the hall, shouting:

"The Marquis of the North has sent a message from a thousand miles away, concerning the Imperial Preceptor and the Holy Envoy of Nuwa—Daji!"
