Investiture of the Gods: She's More Cunning Than I Am, So Why Won't the King Let Me Kill Her?

Early in the eighth year of King Zhou's reign, pressured by the nobles and royal clans, King Zhou had no choice but to disguise himself and take Daji back to the ancestral homeland of Shangyi to pay respects to their ancestors. To their surprise, Shangyi, which should have been a ruined city, was thriving. There were brothels, Pin Dao Dao, and all kinds of unheard-of novelties like immortal-grade AI. More importantly, the people were prosperous and the city's fortune was flourishing. Daji was shocked. She had been wondering how to get rid of Mayor Wei Min. But then she was delighted to discover... Wei Min had plotted forced demolitions and treated human lives as worthless. He took bribes in public, sold official posts, played the charlatan, and manipulated power. His manor was filled with magical treasures, divine beasts, rare curios, and extravagant luxuries. Daji: “I've caught you red-handed, haven't I? I'll kill this treacherous minister today!” King Zhou: “My beloved consort, you can't kill him! I have a membership at Wei Min's brothel!” Li Jing: “Your Majesty, you can't kill him! Wei Min saved my third child!” Jiang Ziya: “Empress Su, you can't kill him! Only Wei Min can help me build the Deer Terrace!” Grand Tutor Wen: “Demon consort, you mustn't kill him! Only Wei Min can pacify the North Sea!” Daji was so furious she could have turned into a panda: “He's even more corrupt than me, and you still won't let me kill him!?”
