Chapter 744: Chapter 744

Gold Star Taibai spoke with righteous indignation, "Your Majesty, we should act in good faith and give exactly as much as is due. A mere 400,000 Merit Coins is well within our means, and we must not lose sight of the bigger picture over something so little."

"400,000?" The Jade Emperor said somewhat surprised.

"To report to Your Majesty, a total of two million Merit Coins were earned from the sale of the Demon King’s corpse. Giving Sect Leader Jiang twenty percent would be 400,000."

The Jade Emperor immediately laughed, Gold Star Taibai really knows his way! But still hesitated, "Is two million a bit too little? Would he believe that?"

Gold Star Taibai said respectfully, "Your Majesty, rest assured, leave everything to me to handle. Sect Leader Jiang will definitely be very satisfied, it’s just the twenty-five percent you mentioned."

The Jade Emperor chuckled, "You just relax! I can’t be unfair to anyone, especially not to you!"

"I take my leave!" Gold Star Taibai left joyously and respectfully.

Bai Jin was attending a feast in the Blood Sea. Ming He Sect Master kept giving Bai Jin hints that the operation below could proceed. Bai Jin understood perfectly and everyone at the banquet was very satisfied, it was just short of becoming sworn brothers.

Inside a palace in the Blood Sea, Princess Iron Fan, in a gorgeous rosy outfit, sat in a pavilion enjoying tea, with two groups of beautiful Asura Maids standing by.

Pojun walked in, bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings to the Princess!"

Princess Iron Fan stood up and returned a bow, "Greetings to Pojun, King of Asura!"

After the greetings, both stood up.

Pojun, the King of Asura, puzzled, asked, "What matter does the Princess call for me?"

Princess Iron Fan gestured with her hand, "Please, King of Asura, sit and talk."

Pojun, the King of Asura, and Princess Iron Fan sat facing each other.

"I heard that King Pojun has visited the Heavenly Court and invited Emperor Gouchen?"

Pojun, King of Asura, laughed heartily and said, "I acted upon Sect Hierarch’s orders."

He paused, then admirably said, "This visit to the Heavenly Court has given me a clearer understanding of Emperor Gouchen."

"Oh! Could you share with me?" asked Princess Iron Fan curiously. Since Bull Demon King was captured by Emperor Gouchen’s subordinates, it’s beneficial to understand this man better for future strategizing.

"I visited the Heavenly Court officially on the Sect Hierarch’s orders and was introduced by the Gatekeeper God to meet the Jade Emperor, and then the Jade Emperor had Gold Star Taibai take me to Gouchen Emperor Palace.

However, we did not see Emperor Gouchen at the Gouchen Emperor Palace, Gold Star Taibai then immediately took me to the Judicial Temple. According to Gold Star Taibai, Emperor Gouchen is usually found in two places.

One is the Gouchen Emperor Palace, overseeing the affairs of the Three Realms and operating the mountains and rivers of Heaven and Earth for countless epochs.

The second is the Judicial Temple, as Emperor Gouchen also serves as the captain of the Law Enforcement Team, he often visits the Judicial Temple to inspect and address deficiencies.

Indeed, in the Judicial Temple, we met Emperor Gouchen, just as Gold Star Taibai described, managing official duties."

Pojun, King of Asura, sighed, "People say that Emperor Gouchen is the conscience of the Primordial World, but to me, the Primordial World is blessed to have such a devoted and dutiful Emperor like him in the Three Realms!"

Princess Iron Fan frowned slightly, as Emperor Gouchen being so diligent makes it difficult concerning Old Niu’s matter. She hesitated and then asked, "King of Asura, when you went to the Judicial Temple, did you see Bull Demon King?"

Pojun, King of Asura glanced quietly at Princess Iron Fan and hesitated for a moment, "To report to the Princess, Bull Demon King is imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison of Judicial Temple. I did not see him, but as we passed by the exterior of the Heavenly Prison, I heard the agonizing screams of Bull Demon King, which shows his suffering there."

Princess Iron Fan slightly furrowed her brow, then her expression returned to calm and she smiled, "Thank you, King of Asura, for the information."

Pojun, King of Asura stood up and bowed, "This king takes his leave."

Princess Iron Fan nodded, and Demon King Asura turned and left.

The Banquet at the Blood Sea lasted for an entire autumn. When Bai Jin returned to the Heavenly Court, it was already night, and the Ancient Stars were floating above the Heavenly Court, seemingly within reach, pouring down their Star Power like flowing syrup.

The next morning, as the sky brightened, Bai Jin got up, washed away the smell of alcohol in a hot spring, and then went to have breakfast.

At noon, Bai Jin lay on the grass in front of the Bird’s Nest, engaging in his daily meditation practice, basking in the warm sun, feeling utterly blissful!

Such was the simple and unremarkable life of the Great Emperor.

On the grassy lounger, Bai Jin dozed off, and suddenly felt the ground beneath him disappear, a black hole formed, and he had the sensation of plummeting downwards.

In the Netherworld, within the Pingxin Palace, Ping Xin was seated on a Cloud Bed, her hands skillfully juggling eighteen orbs, each emanating a ghastly aura, with countless souls wailing inside, undergoing various tortures.

Suddenly a black hole appeared in the palace, and Bai Jin fell through it like a bird with broken wings, landing on the floor with a crash.

Ping Xin looked down at Bai Jin with a calm and undisturbed expression.

Bai Jin quickly stood up and respectfully saluted, "Disciple pays respects to Ping Xin, wishing Your Highness longevity and a clear path to the Saint Dao."

Ping Xin on the main seat slowly said, "Rise!"

Bai Jin stood up, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he sincerely exclaimed, "Your Highness, you have changed!"

"Oh! In what way have I changed?"

"Your Highness, you’ve become more imposing. This scene makes me want to write a poem specifically for you."

"For me specifically?"

"That’s right, in the entire Three Realms, I would only write poetry for Your Highness."

Ping Xin revealed a slight smile, "Let me hear it then, I am quite curious about what kind of poem you have written."

Bai Jin pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands joyfully, "I’ve got it!

In the Nine Netherworlds, I see Reincarnation, with Your Highness alone overshadowing Heaven and Earth.

Today in Fengdu order is established, universally ferrying souls is your holy grace!"

Ping Xin showed a hint of a smile, then resumed her calm demeanor, speaking somewhat irritably, "Unlearned and ignorant, what kind of poetry is this?"

"Your Highness, I must disagree with you there. My master once said that the essence of poetry lies not in the beauty of the language, but in the genuine emotions it conveys. A poem that contains sincere emotions is a true poem that will be cherished for eons.

This poem embodies my infinite respect for Your Highness, with fervent emotions almost bursting forth. How can it not be a great poem?"

Ping Xin snorted with a laugh, then immediately returned to seriousness and said, "You have a point, albeit a quirky one. I’ll accept this poem."

"Many thanks, Your Highness!"

Bai Jin chuckled, "Your Highness, next time you summon this disciple, just send a message, and I will immediately come. There’s no need to open a special channel just for me; I am somewhat overwhelmed by the honor." Chapters fırst released on NovєlFіre.net

Ping Xin calmly said, "Overwhelmed by honor? You must have heard someone say this to Nuwa!"

A sudden unease rose in Bai Jin’s heart as Ping Xin suddenly mentioned Nuwa, surely it was not a good sign. Puzzled, he said, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this? I do not understand.

In my heart, only Your Highness is truly peerless. As for Nuwa, she and I merely have a fleeting acquaintance, we are not close at all!"
