Chapter 631: Dayi receives the order, the vermilion bow and plain silk

The Heavenly Emperor does not act lightly; the Imperial Prince is sent in his stead to campaign, to console and reward the Heavenly River Navy, and the image must be publicized thoroughly.

Di Jun said languidly, "While also enticing the leaders of the human and dragon races to stir…… Before, they were resolved to hunker down and defend on that front; now they face off and compete."

"This Emperor hereby presents a tremendous bait, an extraordinarily great opportunity for merit…… Thus, whether they hunker down or compete, they will be tempted; even if they know there's a problem, they will risk swallowing the bait."

"This is a Yang scheme."

"I remain behind the scenes, waiting for the player who will come to play against me."

"I hope they don't disappoint me……" A meaningful smile gradually appeared on Di Jun's face, "That way I can give them a great surprise."

"Your Majesty's deep foresight and strategic planning will surely secure victory and shock the ages!"

Báizé Yao Marshal lowered his eyes, clasped his hands, and praised.

"The result hasn't appeared yet; it's too early to celebrate." The Heavenly Emperor shook his head, "Still, thank Báizé Yao Marshal for his toil; attend to your duties, don't lapse."

The two words "duty", Di Jun emphasized with a heavier tone, quite seriously.

Báizé listened, then suddenly lifted his head, locking eyes with the Heavenly Emperor, big eyes staring at small eyes.

Suddenly, the two present‑day pinnacle Taiji Titans both laughed.

That atmosphere was very subtle, as if nothing was said, yet as if everything was said; all lay in the unspoken.

"Please don't worry, Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor." Báizé smiled, "I will certainly be loyal and dutiful, carry out the tasks you've assigned, and do them to perfection."

"Then I can rest easy."

Di Jun smiled, watching Báizé's outwardly respectful departure.

After a moment, the Heavenly Emperor shook his head, flicked his sleeve, and a thick golden book and jade scroll flew out, striking the desk and bouncing twice.

If a high official of the Human Royal Court were here, taking a glance, they'd likely be astonished——

This isn't the dictionary compiled by the Human Education Minister appointed by the Human Emperor, Hougang, is it?

Yet it appears here, grasped in Di Jun's hand.

"People's hearts are scattered; the troops are hard to lead!"

Di Jun sighed, speaking softly, "Báizé…… Hougang…… hey, straddling two boats, tsk tsk……"

"In the end we need to give him a warning, make him do his duty, not deceive me…… just get by."

The Heavenly Emperor perceived some furtive secrets, knowing that Mr. Bai is probably not so innocent.

After all.

Through special channels, he obtained much important internal human data, even directly contacting and meeting several senior human ministers to examine their achievements……

He could see at a glance that someone was straddling two boats, not putting all eggs in one basket.

No way.

Honghuang is vast.

But it's actually quite small.

Large, in terms of spacetime and number of beings.

Small, yet only a handful of top figures exist.

One who is valued by the Human Emperor, writes for humanity, compiles a dictionary, hoping to become the common language of the Wu Clan faction, with every detail perfected, fully displaying the compiler's vast erudition, citing classics effortlessly, integrating all tribes……

In Honghuang, those capable of this, professionally suited, are only a few!

The list has been directly arranged.

Afterwards, with further close contact, verifying from small details…… the answer emerges.

Speaking of which, Di Jun expressed that he also wanted to thank Yandi.

If it weren't for this Human Emperor providing convenience…… how could the representative of the Bai Emperor's faction, Zhu Hua, so easily penetrate the core of the Yandi system to conduct a genuine inspection?

This wave……

This wave, the Bai Emperor schemed against the Yandi, dishonorable, a hollow victory.

Di Jun made a playful association…… not knowing whether, after learning the truth, Yandi would not be furious.

However.

As a magnanimous sovereign, the Heavenly Emperor feels he possesses virtue and integrity, and will give the opposing side a chance to retaliate.

——Didn't you see, he even sent out his ten Imperial Princes?

——If you're capable, come kill!

——But, profit is tied to risk, so proceed with caution!

Di Jun weighed it in his heart, deemed it proper, and left nonchalantly, heading for the sleeping palace, quite transcendent.

Unfortunately.

This nonchalance didn't last long.

In his own sleeping palace, the Heavenly Emperor was driven out with a bewildered face.

The Heavenly Queen is fierce!

"Get out!"

Xihe erupted with killing intent, apparently ready at any moment to give Di Jun a three‑cut six‑hole assault.

At the side, Changxi patiently persuaded, barely allowing his elder sister to calm down.

"Madam, what are you……"

Di Jun sensed human bewilderment——how could a domestic‑violence plot suddenly unfold?

"Don't call me madam!"

Xihe shouted, "This deity cannot afford to rise so high!"

The Heavenly Queen's murderous aura surged, gnashing her teeth, "Even a tiger's poison does not eat its young!"

"You let our children go to the battlefield for training; I can accept that."

"You let them be your pawns? Your bait?"

"What do you want to do?!"

The Empress of Heaven rebuked.

The Heavenly Emperor was initially stunned, then secretly clicked his tongue.

"Báizé, that guy, what high efficiency... his basic duties are no doubt, but selling me out is way too fast!"

Di Jun suddenly felt his head getting a bit big.

He stammered, the earlier air of strategic planning and confidence completely gone, his face full of helplessness.

Fortunately, Changxi mediated in the middle, preventing a bloody tragedy here, lest husband and wife meet with weapons.

"Madam, rest assured, I will arrange things properly; I won't let the children go to their deaths."

Di Jun rubbed his forehead, "There are my hidden hands inside the enemy; doing some tricks will at least ensure their safety."

"That's said lightly." Xihe snorted coldly, "To pull this off, no matter how you say it, it's a top-level decision... once the children are on the battlefield, Yandi or Fangxun, they'll surely be eager to take their lives!"

"How can we pull tricks under their noses... wait!"

She was sharp-minded, and in an instant thought of something: "Chonghua... him!"

Xihe's expression was strange, "Is this your arrangement?"

"Cough!" Di Jun smiled, "Low-key! Low-key!"

"You do have ideas." Xihe gave Di Jun a deep look, hesitated a moment, quelled her anger, and returned to calm.

Though she was angry, she wasn't unreasonably making a fuss.

However, this isn't safe.

"Afterward, I will still make some arrangements, do my best to set things up, leaving the children a chance to survive." Di Jun said, "Of course, absolute certainty is also impossible..."

But you should also know that in this great calamity, though the risk is great, the reward is also great.

They voluntarily face the calamity; if they survive it, their cultivation path will surely undergo transformation and sublimation.

Such an opportunity is rare!

Xihe blinked her bright eyes, but did not rebut.

After a moment, she then said: "Then, arrange an identity for us so we can go see for ourselves... I've warned you beforehand, if you recklessly play at righteousness and kin-slaying, I can also... pluck all the hair off your body!"

"Good, good, good!" Di Jun readily agreed, "Since both ladies have ideas, I will certainly satisfy them!"

That works out well too.

The Heavenly Emperor remained very calm, "Let's openly meet our daughter and son-in-law... well, that cheap son-in-law of mine has so far been kept in the dark."

……

In the era of the Wu-Yao conquests, there was such a great shaman, truly a winner in life.

——Dayi!

So-called promotions and raises, becoming a general manager, taking on a CEO role, marrying a rich beautiful woman, reaching the pinnacle of life……

This completely describes him!

As a great shaman of the Wu Clan, also a mighty Luo specialized in the path of slaughter and destruction, in this era of the great calamity's sweep, heroes are naturally born of the times, with endless promotions and raises, unstoppable.

With his radiant brilliance, dazzling and eye-catching, he was finally valued by the ancestral shaman Houtu and the Human Emperor, who appointed him as the chief of archery for humanity, and then he debuted to become an idol.

Afterward, through a series of behind-the-scenes arrangements, Mr. Dayi successfully married the rich beautiful woman—an imperial lady of the White Emperor system—from then on holding a pivotal position in the Eastern Barbarians tribe, truly having reached the pinnacle of life!

Even someone like Fengxi, who in this era was heavily invested by the two Pangu, thus rising smoothly to the supreme Taiyi, sometimes envied Dayi's situation, beating his chest and stamping his feet, wishing he could take his place.

Thus, Mr. Dayi's life happiness index is evident.

But……

Sometimes, the occurrence of many things has behind it fate raising the stakes.

A moment's laughter doesn't guarantee laughing to the end.

When the company is gone, the wife has run off... you can't even cry.

Of course, at this moment Dayi is still clueless, utterly unaware of what kind of murky water he has stepped into.

It's not that he isn't strong.

But those who control this murky water, each one is far stronger than him.

Dayi only knew that he suddenly received an invitation from the regent of the Eastern Barbarians court to attend a banquet, and his wife Chang'e eagerly pulled him onto the carriage, which sped like wind and lightning to the destination.

There, Dayi saw Chonghua, as well as the pair of sister flowers that Chonghua happily played with and married.

At the banquet, Chonghua and Dayi chatted about everything, discussed ancient and modern times, analyzed the situation, showing considerable intent for detailed inspection.

Dayi had some doubts, but he still patiently engaged in discussion and communication.

As for the other side... Chang'e had already leapt over to Chonghua's two wives, chatting happily.

Mr. Dayi, indeed no wonder he's an outstanding talent of the Wu Clan, having previously received the favor of the ancestral shaman Houtu and the Human Emperor.

After Chonghua evaluated Dayi's abilities, his face showed slight satisfaction, "Our Eastern Barbarians court has been able to develop smoothly these years and resist the Heavenly Court, thanks largely to Mr. Dayi's presence and assistance, which deters external enemies."

"Haha... too kind, too kind!" Dayi waved his hands, instinctively reminding himself to stay humble, "I don't have that much ability; it's all borrowing the power of the faction behind me."

Leader Chonghua need not credit me with the achievement... I feel unworthy of it.

Being able to borrow power is also a skill." Chonghua merely smiled, lightly changing the topic, "As for the recent situation of our Eastern Barbarians, you probably have heard a bit about it."

I will go assist Senior Fangxun, cooperate with Majesty Yandi, and contend with the Heavenly Court to decide superiority.

Hmm, I know that... Chang'e told me." Dayi nodded.

Going forth, my life or death is uncertain..." Chonghua paused, "but I can die, the Eastern Barbarians must not fall into chaos.

Therefore, I wish to entrust Mr. Dayi with some important tasks... please do not decline." Chonghua said thus.

Your Highness, please speak." Dayi solemnly, "If I am able, I will certainly not refuse."

Excellent." Chonghua slightly nodded, "The frontline battle is fierce; for the greater good, our Eastern Barbarians court will surely exert all efforts, focusing the offensive.

Thus the heartland lies empty, leaving an opening for foreign foes; we cannot be without vigilance against others.

Therefore I implore Master Da Yi, to hold the emblem and patrol the four directions on my behalf, either to intimidate the petty villains or to sympathize with the common folk.

"This… this task is easy!" Da Yi's voice resonated loudly and powerfully; he answered firmly and decisively, "As long as I remain in the Eastern Yi for a day, the Eastern Yi will not fall into chaos for that day."

"Good!" Chong Hua praised, "Master, you are so perceptive and decisive; I will entrust the safety of the Eastern Yi to you, and thus I shall have no further worries."

To express my gratitude, I have specially prepared a weapon here to present to you.

Chong Hua plunged one hand into the void, and when he withdrew it, a bow and arrow appeared in his hand.

One bow, nine arrows!

The bow's body is red, the arrows white; a vermilion bow with plain silk, truly extraordinary, possessing unfathomable divine power.

When aimed at by the arrowhead, even a Great Luo, Da Yi sensed a most dangerous and lethal aura.

"This is…?" Da Yi inquired curiously.

"This is the cherished collection of Bai Di from antiquity." Chong Hua affirmed, "I too am Bai Di… if you have misunderstood, don't blame me."

Da Yi truly had misunderstood, and with no further doubt, "No wonder this bow is so extraordinary; even I sense danger from it."

However, this is ultimately the treasure left by Shao Hao Majesty for the Eastern Yi; giving it to me… is that not appropriate?

"What's not good about it?" Chong Hua laughed helplessly, "You have married my Eastern Yi's imperial daughter; thus you may be considered half an Eastern Yi."

Not to mention that the imperial daughter herself is entitled to inherit part of the ancestral estate… Furthermore, when the imperial daughter married, our Eastern Yi's dowry was rather meager.

I will make up for it here; I hope you will treat Chang'e well in the future, so that we may rest easy.

After Chong Hua's persuasion, Da Yi could not refuse and thus accepted this set of armaments.

Fine bow! Fine arrows!

After much handling, Da Yi sighed deeply, "I wonder if there will ever be a worthy opponent in the future, able to make it drink deeply of divine blood?"

There will be.

Chong Hua said leisurely, "Master, rest assured, there will surely be one!"

Your Highness Chong Hua, how can you be so certain? Could it be that you have foreseen something of my future?" Da Yi detected a hint in the tone, his curiosity piqued, "Could you tell me?"

The time has not yet come; speaking would be useless. When the time arrives, Da Yi, you will naturally understand.

Chong Hua merely waved his hand, acting like a riddler, to keep Da Yi from having too much curiosity.

What ought to be understood will be understood when the proper time comes!

Then I shall wait and see.

Da Yi is a broad-minded person; since Chong Hua did not speak, he likewise did not press the matter, they raised their cups and drank together, and for a while host and guest enjoyed themselves fully.
