Gu Bai had come back, so the dog searching incident which created a huge disturbance in the palace was instantly put to an end.


In order to celebrate, Emperor Tianchen specially asked people to hold a grand palace banquet. In this way, the diligent and economical emperor clearly showed the status of this dog called “Bai” to everyone in the court, whether they were civil or military members.


The group of guards, eunuchs, and maids watched the happy and pampering expression of Emperor Tianchen, who was holding the recovered puppy with a smile on his face. They really had a deep understanding of what it meant to want being a dog than being a human!


On the Imperial throne, Emperor Tianchen sat adorned in gold, holding Gu Bai in his arms. Instead of seeing the singing and dancing below him, he used a low voice to ask what Gu Bai wanted to eat, then personally brought it over to feed him.


After feeding Gu Bai, he would also bow his head to kiss the dog’s head. Not to mention that he wasn't upset that the chopsticks and ladles had been licked by the dog, he also shared the food and wine. His low voice and tender expression made the courtiers unable to bear looking straight at him.


How could a son of heaven not be able to pamper a dog? However, he was raising a dog, when it was clearly a lover ah. This person ate and slept with the dog, but also shook up the entire Imperial Palace for it. What would it look like otherwise?!


Then when they thought of the natural disasters that happened repeatedly in various regions of Wei Country, all the courtiers shook their heads in their hearts. Everyone was wondering if it was like what those commoners' rumors had said. Was it possible that Emperor Tianchen wasn't the real Son of Heaven of Wei Country…?


Some courtiers couldn’t help but stand up and speak.


“Your Majesty, now there are many disasters in Wei Country, and the people have no way to earn a living. We're still sitting here, holding a palace banquet for a puppy. If this is spread, wouldn't it make the civilians' hearts cold…?”

“Wang-daren worries needlessly. Zhen does not want to discuss government affairs today…”


Emperor Tianchen was unconcerned, hugging Gu Bai and kissing his eyes and paws, smiling tenderly.


After Gu Bai was incarnated as a dog, his innate dog's nature was very strong. In addition, Emperor Tianchen's dragon qi was instinctively attractive to Yao, so he couldn’t help clinging onto Emperor Tianchen and getting close, stretching out his tongue to lick the other’s eyelids, nose, and mouth.


Intimate contact, especially on the mouth, was the best way to absorb the dragon qi. The little tongue didn't want to leave when it reached Emperor Tianchen's mouth, but also had a strong urge to drill into it.


The little, soft touch made Emperor Tianchen not dislike it at all, and his face carried a smile.


He seemed to see a handsome young man through the appearance of the little white dog in front of him. Imagining that the young man was kissing him with flushed cheeks, his eyelashes trembling and his beautiful eyes looking red-tinged, Emperor Tianchen felt his blood boil.


Seeing the intimacy between one person and one dog, the ignored Wang-daren felt that his eyes were blinded, and even the thick-skinned felt it was unbearable.


“Woof, woof…”


Gu Bai noticed his expression, and he was prompted by the dog’s innate nature to raise his chin and call at Wang-daren twice.

Then he turned around and twisted his butt towards Wang-daren. He was very pleased with his performance, which made all the courtiers, who saw him, turn their heads to choke back their laughter.


“Hmph!”


Wang-daren's face was red. He was an official of the previous dynasty. He had little power, but was highly respected, and many people would give face to him in court. Now, he was being disdained by a dog. He couldn't argue with a dog, so he could only sit down again in a sullen mood.


Next to him, Prince Rui handed him a cup of wine, respectfully consoling him, “Don’t be angry, Wang-daren, it’s nothing more than just a domesticated animal…”


“It’s obviously not just a domesticated animal. His Majesty is so ridiculous. Look, the Son of Heaven is actually sharing a plate with a dog! It’s truly losing face for the Imperial family! If the late emperor didn't only have that eldest prince left, this old man would definitely not agree…”


“Wang-daren, there are many people with wandering eyes and ears, so speak cautiously…”


Prince Rui kindly reminded him, and only then did Wang-daren shut his mouth. Seeing a prince so respectful, Wang-daren had a more favorable impression of him.


Seeing this, Gu Bai nipped at Emperor Tianchen’s wrist and motioned to him. Now, most of the important officials of Wei Country had been bribed by Prince Rui, and he was biding his time to usurp the throne.


Emperor Tianchen’s eyes darkened, and he patted Gu Bai's head and continued to be sticky and intimate with him.

By the time the banquet was halfway over, the dancer in the main hall who had been dancing alone retired, and a group of dancers sprung up to start a new dance, led by an enchanting beauty in a purple dress and veil.


Although they couldn't see the woman's face, only her figure and demeanor, people knew that she had to be a peerless beauty, full of grace in every movement. All the courtiers who were talking in low voices just stopped, their eyes attracted.


Gu Bai also looked over. Instead of being attracted, he felt a familiar and dangerous scent from the other. Such a beauty wasn't a real person. There was no doubt that it had to be Su Xinru!


The dancing woman truly was Su Xinru. She actually wanted to avoid the possibility of prison by walking away from it. She was an exceptional beauty, so she didn't need to worry about finding a financial backer to live a good life.


But the system wanted Emperor Tianchen's dragon qi. She had to complete this task, otherwise not only would she be punished, she would also lose the system.


She had been relying on the system since she transmigrated. If the system left, she wouldn’t know what to do. Besides, she was extremely unwilling. She was such a beautiful woman, yet she couldn’t even compare to a dog in front of Emperor Tianchen. It hurt her self-esteem!


Seeing that Emperor Tianchen, sitting on the Dragon seat, was still holding Gu Bai, her heart felt a burst of injustice, and she danced and danced until she was in front of Emperor Tianchen.


“Your Majesty, this dance is for you. This wine is only for you…”


Su Xinru held up the wine glass with her slender, jade-like fingers. Her face was covered by the veil, revealing only a pair of attractive eyes. She really was a hard-to-resist woman of unmatched beauty.

It was a very common toast, but Gu Bai felt an energy emanating from Su Xinru’s eyes. Obviously, the other didn’t know what kind of magic was being used.


Emperor Tianchen seemed to have noticed something too. His eyes flashed with a fierce light, and the corner of his mouth was grim. He pulled out a long sword from a bodyguard’s waist and stabbed it into her chest.


“Come, guards, protect everyone!”


Accompanying Emperor Tianchen's cry, the dancers below suddenly took out flexible swords from their waists.


For a while, chaos broke out in the hall. Besides the military leaders who could ward the dancers off, the ministers and civil officials could only hold their heads and evade.


These dancers were obviously trained. Emperor Tianchen also had a large number of bodyguards and escorts. They failed to get close for a while, but many of the other courtiers were killed by their swords.


If people used their heads, they'd realize that all the dead courtiers were ones who were close with Prince Rui, but all of the courtiers who were loyal to Emperor Tianchen were fine.


Su Xinru had used hypnosis while toasting him, and she waited for the emperor to drink it. Unexpectedly, Emperor Tianchen wasn't hypnotized, and she was suddenly put into a difficult situation.


Emperor Tianchen was originally a martial arts practitioner, and he had stabbed her in the middle of her chest. Immediately, her chest felt a sharp pain and blood gushed out of her mouth.

She felt her blood and life draining, and she couldn't help but call for the system’s help, panicked.


But the system ignored her. At the same time, her body began to change. Her snow-white skin began to turn yellow, and her slim waist began to bloat. She no longer had her beautiful appearance, and she returned to her ordinary looks.


“Save, save me…”


Su Xinru had no mind to care about the change in the appearance of her body. She called for the system with the last of her strength. Why wasn't the system saving her? She wasn't dead yet. She wasn't dead yet!


When Prince Rui, who was sitting below, saw her, he wanted to get up and go over, but he restrained himself. Was saving a beauty of the Jianghu important, or was possessing the entirety of the Jianghu more important…?


The use of a system's existence was to exchange. This host had no more value, so naturally it wouldn't care about her.


As soon as the binding was released, the system left Su Xinru’s body for a new host.


“Woof!”


Gu Bai, who had been paying attention to Su Xinru’s movements, saw a white light flying out of her body. Without even thinking about it, he rushed over. Opening his mouth, he swallowed the white light that wasn't able to escape.

Since the original system could absorb the power of the original host for its own use, then he could also eat the system. This was the cruel survival laws of the Yao world.


He didn't know how much power the system had absorbed. After swallowing it, Gu Bai only felt that an extremely pure energy made his Yao core rotate rapidly. His Yao power rose slowly, and his whole body was suffused with a golden light.


“Look, w-what is that?”


The golden light was dazzling in the night, and people looked up in astonishment.


In the golden circle of light, the snow-white dog changed and became a divine-looking boy with a pale face and ears. He floated in midair and seemed even more sacred enveloped in the golden light.


Gu Bai didn’t expect that the power of this system was so powerful, unexpectedly allowing him to increase his cultivation this much, and thus transforming him from a dog into a human. He quietly cursed his luck.


However, after discovering the abundant Yao power around him, Gu Bai’s heart thudded. He immediately noticed Emperor Tianchen and gave him a meaningful look as he continued to float in the air.


“Listen, you mortals. I’m a child under Guanyin. I was ordered by heaven to rescue the people of the state of Wei. Three days later, I will ask the true Son of Heaven of Wei Country for sacrifices!”


With that, Gu Bai turned into golden light and departed.

When he disappeared, everyone reacted. The hall was full of bloodied bodies, and everyone was covering their chests and taking deep breaths to calm down.


Just now, Gu Bai’s words reverberated in everyone’s brains. All their heads began to turn rapidly in contemplation. In addition to the loyal ministers of Emperor Tianchen, there were also several lucky surviving ministers of Prince Rui.


Asking the true Son of Heaven of Wei Country for sacrifices. The boy with the golden light didn’t directly name Emperor Tianchen. Did that mean that the true Son of Heaven wasn't necessarily Emperor Tianchen?


There was excitement in Prince Rui's heart, and the ministers loyal to Emperor Tianchen began to advise, “Your Majesty, please arrange sacrifices as soon as possible, and rescue the civilians as soon as possible…”


The other ministers all followed, and Prince Rui quickly cast a glance at his own people.


“Wait a minute!”


The great general Long Zongxuan, who held the Imperial court's military forces, walked out.


“Just now, the golden boy only asked the true Son of Heaven of Wei for sacrifices, but didn’t specify whether it was His Majesty. Perhaps it would be inappropriate for Your Majesty to so hastily prepare sacrifices…”


As soon as his words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became quiet. What did General Long mean? Was he saying that His Majesty wasn't the real Son of Heaven? Then who was it? Saying these kind of words was treason!

“What do you mean, Long Zongxuan?!” There were courtiers who stood up.


“I don't mean anything. I'm just worried about the people. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, Wei Country has been suffering from droughts and floods. When there is no peace and stability, the people can’t make a living, and these sacrifices are very important. Just now, the golden boy also said that they should be from the real Son of Heaven… In short, I think the matter of who performs the sacrifices has to be discussed again.”


Long Zongxuan seemed to be acting for the country and its people, but in fact, he was arrogant and didn't care the slightest about Emperor Tianchen.


In fact, he really did have such qualifications. Besides the military power in the hands of Emperor Tianchen himself, all the other forces of Wei Country were in his hands.


In the early years, he helped Emperor Tianchen seize the position of emperor, while planning to control Emperor Tianchen. He had planned to place himself in the position of being the one person above the rest of the tens of thousands of people. But who knew that Emperor Tianchen wasn't a vegetarian, and even after ascending the throne, would firmly grasp onto his authority so that Long Zongxuan could only be a general? How could Long Zongxuan's heart be content?


Since Emperor Tianchen was heartless, Long Zongxuan couldn't be blamed for this injustice. After supporting Prince Rui's ascent to the throne, he would become the Regent!


His intentions were obvious to everyone. Emperor Tianchen narrowed his eyes and stared at him for a while. Then he lightly smiled.


“General Long’s words are reasonable. For the sake of the common people, in this case, the royal family only has two people, Zhen and younger Imperial brother. For the sacrifices three days later, let's let younger Imperial brother also give them a try…”


The faces of the courtiers standing by the side of Emperor Tianchen changed. They were secretly worried. How could His Majesty be so careless? If Prince Rui’s sacrifice was successful, wouldn't that mean that Prince Rui was the real Son of Heaven?!

In the end, the natural disasters in recent years had worried the courtiers who were loyal to Emperor Tianchen. The ancient people were superstitious, after all.


Yet Prince Rui and his followers' expressions were happy. Their former days of pretending were about to end, their fox tails were exposed, and the temptation of victory in the near future let their self-confidence bubble up.


Gu Bai, who was hiding in a secret place, saw the faces of everyone and shook his head, laughing. Such a group of pigs also wanted to usurp the throne. When they had reincarnated, their brains had to have been caught by a door!
