The day I was reborn as King Zhou’s cousin, I found a nine-tailed fox in a mass grave.
Covered in blood, she clung to my sleeve and refused to let go. “Young master, save me...”
I was about to play the hero when a chime rang in my head:
[Ultimate thrill trait activated: Beauty Is a Calamity]
[Effect: Subdue the nine-tailed fox, Great Shang’s fortune +10,000, national collapse countdown reset]
[Hidden trait: Refuse, and you’ll be struck dead by lightning within three days]
Me: ??? So I have no choice but to take her in?
Fine. I’ll take her in.
The next day, at court, I dragged Daji to her knees in the main hall. “Cousin! That old rascal Shen Gongbao peeked at your memorials last night! I saw it with my own eyes!”
The court erupted, Shen Gongbao went berserk, and Wen Zhong rushed back overnight.
Later, Xiqi attacked, and even the immortals came to join the fun.
But at my side, Daji was sharpening her knife, the Three Xiao sisters were setting up a formation, the Dragon Girl was calling in reinforcements, and the Phoenix Girl was setting things on fire.
Nuwa appeared in a dream and asked me, “What is it you really want?”
Lying on the roof of the main hall with an arm around Daji’s tail, I grinned. “Nothing much. I just want my cousin to be a peaceful human emperor, while I... take a few more beautiful wives and live off the land until I die.”
The panel popped up: [Ultimate thrill trait achieved: A Hall Full of Beauties. Reward: Carefree Body of Myriad Worlds.]
I grinned.
Now that’s the life.
