Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Chu Xin smiled faintly: "Fu Hao, the wife of Wu Ding, the first king of the Shang Dynasty, was a fox."

"With the help of fox spirits, the Shang Dynasty rarely suffered defeats in its conquests, which is why tribes like the Su clan, who worshipped foxes, existed. Therefore, although foxes were considered demons, they were not particularly hated in the Shang Dynasty."

The nine-tailed fox's eyes widened: "This... I've never heard of my fox clan having such a powerful ancestor!"

"Fu Hao's identity is extremely secretive, and not many people know about it. Even I only learned from Senior Brother Kong Xuan that Fu Hao was originally a spirit fox from Tushan. She came to the human world because she was dissatisfied with the cruelty of Xia Jie. After she got together with Wu Ding, she fought alongside him." Chu Xin explained the reason, which put the nine-tailed fox at ease.

Possessing a human woman's body is a completely unworkable method; not only would it needlessly kill someone, but it would also easily expose one's identity. Thirty percent of the Chaoge court are disciples of the Jie Sect, many of whom possess profound cultivation. If they discover the Nine-Tailed Fox's true identity in the future, they won't care whether she was sent by Nuwa or not.

It would be better to reveal his identity from the beginning. As long as he is not a demon that harms people, and given the precedent of Fu Hao, those ministers would most likely prefer to choose his spirit beast rather than let Di Xin destroy a city and take away a beauty.

"As expected of the Immortal Master, you have a brilliant strategy. This humble demon has learned a great deal." The nine-tailed fox gracefully turned to the side and bowed, her eyes alluring and captivating.

Chu Xin didn't even glance at them, only instructing, "What you need to do now is go and show yourself in front of Bigan and Shang Rong, let them know you exist, and know that you don't eat or harm people!"

The nine-tailed fox dared not harbor any further thoughts, her eyes became much more respectful, and she said "yes" before retreating.

After entertaining Huiyu in Jizhou, Bu Ran went to find Su Hu.

"My lord, I'd like to perform a divination for Daji today. Would you be willing to listen?"

Su Hu cherished Su Daji as his most precious possession. Upon hearing the question about Su Daji, he immediately put down what he was holding and looked solemnly at Bu Ran: "Please enlighten me, Immortal Master, is there anything wrong with my daughter?"

Bu Ran frowned and nodded: "If my divination is correct, Daji will soon face a great calamity, caused by her beauty, originating from... Chaoge."

Su Hu's expression changed drastically. He knew that Di Xin had repeatedly brought up the matter of selecting concubines, and now that Bu Ran said that Daji's beauty had caused calamity, he immediately thought of Di Xin. Although Daji was the daughter of a regional lord and of high status, would that absurd king who wrote poems in the Nuwa Palace care whether he was willing or not?

"Does the immortal have any way to help Daji overcome this calamity?" Su Hu was at a loss and could only place his hopes on the immortal he considered omnipotent.

"Daji's advantage lies in the west." Bu Ran pointed towards Xiqi.

After a moment's thought, Su Hu understood the meaning behind Bu Ran's words.

The Marquis of Xibo was one of the four great vassal states. Even if the army of Chaoge were to invade, it would still be stronger than Jizhou in resisting. Moreover, if Daji was already married, he would have a reason to refuse to send his daughter to the palace.

However, Su Hu, a longtime friend of Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, was unwilling to implicate Xiqi because of his own affairs: "Please enlighten me, Immortal Master, if Daji truly goes west, is it possible to escape this calamity? Or will it shift the blame westward and implicate others?"

Bu Ran greatly admired Su Hu's benevolence and became even more patient: "Do your best and leave the rest to fate."

"The divination indicates that Daji's advantage lies in the west, so we also need to make other preparations."

Su Hu breathed a sigh of relief. Since Bu Ran could say that, she must already have a plan.

Fu Hao's identity is a fictional characterization; I don't remember seeing this setting before, and I couldn't find it on Baidu, so I just used it as is.
