Emperor Xia left his seat, with a curved knife pointed at the chest of Guan Longzi.

“I heard that sage’s heart had seven orifices. I wonder if yours were the same,” the voice of Emperor Xia came from a distance.

The knife pricked through the body and the heart jumped out. It was still beating.

Guan Longzi’s heart was not much different from ordinary people. It did not have seven orifices.

Slowly, he sat crossed-leg on the floor and there, he lost all signs of living.

A heart fell into the dust. Emperor Xia commanded, “Guards, throw him out to feed the dog.”

Soundlessly, two guards with an iron mask and black armor appeared. They took away Guan Longzi and his heart.

In the dog shed, the two guards threw the body and the heart. A group of hounds hurriedly ate the body, leaving the heart untouched. None of the hounds dared to eat it. It was as if the heart was poisonous.

Emperor Xia commanded to feed the body ad the heart to the dogs and no other beings should they fed to. If the heart was left untouched, the task was deemed incomplete.

At that moment, an old man with a blind eye and a lame leg walked in. He held an ugly dog that looked sick and skinny. Its skin was revealed as a lot of black hair on its body was peeled off.

The sick dog barked fiercely all of a sudden when it saw the heart. The dog jumped out of the old man’s arms, ran to the dog shed and swallowed the heart. After consuming the heart, the dog foamed at the mouth and died a tragic death as all the blood vessel in its body burst.

The guards were not bothered by the scene and went back to report on the completion of the task.

The old man squatted in front of the dead dog, patting its bloody body. He chuckled eerily. The other dogs kept a long distance from him, curling their body while whimpering.

The old man had been feeding the dogs in the dog shed for a long time. Many people in the palace could not remember the time he existed. After that day, all of the dogs in the dog shed died and the old man disappeared as well.

The man who took over the task counted the dog’s corpse. As he compared with the record, he found that there was one missing dog. It was the most precious dog in the dog shed. According to rumors, it was a pure breed of the Heavenly Dog, a species as noble as the Phoenix and Qilin.

However, no one reported the loss as none of the people wanted any troubles from it. To the matter of fact, all the dogs in the dog shed were dead anyway.

.......

Meixi was let off by Emperor Xia. She was a lady from Youshi. Since she entered the palace, she had been spoiled by Emperor Xia. Emperor Xia mostly did not refuse her request but she knew that Emperor Xia was very ruthless. As she saw the fate of Guan Longzi, she was more convinced of that fact.

Now that Emperor Xia let loose of her, she was filled with fear. The dancers who had been taught carefully were annihilated and the profound scholar, Guan Longzi was dead. Was this her time?

Meixi’s eyes were filled with tears. The tears were like the water in the autumn and as if like a frightened rabbit, she trembled in fear.

Emperor Xia took her chin with the knife tip. There was no bloodstain on the knife but she thought that she could smell the blood of Guan Longzi and hers might be next.

“Are you scared?” Emperor Xia stammered.

Meixi dared not nod or shake her head, she said, “I dare not.”

Emperor Xia gazed at her with extreme affection and whispered, “You looked the same as my lover.”

She almost cried. She knew that if Emperor Xia had something towards her, she would be killed. Guan Longzi was loyal but yet he was killed and sent to the hounds by Emperor Xia without hesitation. This was an elimination of human character!

However, she could not die. This was not for her but her baby.

Emperor Xia laughed, “I would not kill you.”

The knife disappeared just like how it mysteriously appeared.

Meixi gave out a huge relief and answered, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

Emperor Xia asked, “Do you know why didn’t I kill you?”

Carefully, Meixi responded, “I don’t know.”

Emperor Xia explained, “This was not due to my baby.”

Meixi turned pale. Immediately, she knelt and begged, “Your Highness, I know the location of Yunyang. Please spare the baby.”

Emperor Xia smiled coldly. He lifted his leg and kicked Meixi’s lower abdomen. Then, blood oozed and flowed down from her thighs. Meixi helplessly sat on the ground, looking pale.

“Scramble away.”

Confused, she left the punishment platform and then Diqiu. She did not understand why the king did not kill her. She felt resentful towards Emperor Xia but did not know what to do.

After the departure of Meixi, the night came. The cold moon in the sky was shining on Emperor Xia.

Emperor Xia also looked straight at the cold moon. A clear and gentle voice of a woman rang by his ears, “You killed the most loyal courtier, you killed your own baby but I still don’t know if you have destroyed your emotions. ”

“Is that important?” Emperor Xia whispered.

“Of course, if you had not succeeded in the Demonic Technique of Emotional Destruction, I would not dare to cooperate with you.” If someone looked at the cold moon from the perspective of Emperor Xia, he would vaguely see a graceful fairy among the misty moonlight.

“The moon is subject to the changes of being full and crescent, cloudy and clear but the sun is always perfect. Hence, I have no flaws.” Emperor Xia answered.

The moonlight, like a gentle yarn, spread on Emperor Xia. Gradually, it turned into a beautiful fairy with a beautiful face. She hugged Emperor Xia from behind and murmured, like a lover, by his ear, “That better be the case. Otherwise, you won’t be able to escape his Celestial Slaying Flying Sword, even if you manage to inherit the Primeval Demon Technique.”

Emperor Xia brushed off her hand, turned to look at her and commented, “I do not like your tone, do you understand?”

The fairy laughed softly and did not speak.

...

After becoming the Emperor of Da Zhou, Shen Lian was not busy. This was because he had the wisdom that was as extensive as God, he used salutary measures and he had no intimidating dignity. The lowly civilians even got the same treatment with the others. From Shen Lian’s ruling, everyone fully understood the meaning of equality.

All the matters in Da Zhou were well organized. At the same time, Shen Lian summoned the wind and rain so that the citizen would anticipate a bumper harvest next year.

It might not be important for the cultivators but it was, for the citizens of Da Zhou.

The number of cultivators who did not require food was little and most of the human beings among the citizens were still mortals. They naturally still require food crops on earth to survive.

A butterfly flew into the palace of Shen Lian’s residence. Finally, it transformed into a human form and knelt before him.

The Demon butterfly was called Liu Shibei. He was born to be proficient in the art of illusion. After he turned to Shen Lian, he initiated to go to Diqiu to extract any valuable information as his talent in the supernatural power was able to blend in different occasions.

Looking at him, Shen Lian asked, “What was the matter? You even used the sword talisman that I gave you. This matter must be serious.”

Liu Shibei replied, “Emperor Xia married a woman and gave her the title, the imperial consort. Her origin was mysterious and undetectable. It was also said that her supernatural powers were not inferior to you and Tianyi.”

Shen nodded his head and said, “You can go now. I believe you have other news to pass to the specific intelligence department. After the transfer, come and see me again. There is work for you.”

Liu Shibei left.

Shen took out a pen. He held the pen for a long time on the white paper before his desk. Finally, he drew up a painting. There were green hills and green water. The highlight was beyond the green mountain, there was a crescent moon, like a beautiful woman’s eyebrows.

He knew that Emperor Xia was going to marry a new queen but not sure of her origin. It was until this time he had a hint of it. He regretted that his foundation was too shallow and his capable subordinates were too few.

Li Yuanliang and his three men were quite capable but they were not able to act according to circumstances and they were lacking understanding and spiritual intelligence.

If only there was the support of Daoist Qing Xuan, things would be much easier. The disciples of Qing Xuan who passed through Wenxin Road had the best qualifications. They practiced different Dao formula and each had different characteristics. Hence, they would be able to help him a lot.

However, the two worlds were separated and he could not find the specific coordinates of the Qing Xuan star. Thus, he ignored the thought.
