"I have thought about it, and I plan to go back to Kunlun Mountain. I asked Master to give up the extermination of the Fox Clan, and I asked Master to leave the great cause of becoming gods to other senior brothers."
Ye Xiu held Gu Siying's hand tightly, saying he didn't want anything.
Don't be afraid of anything.
As long as he can be by her side.
"Then I will come back and we will find a paradise, an isolated place to live. There will be only the two of us in that place.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
How about we start over there and live our own lives?"
Seeing the expectant look on the man's face, Gu Siying finally couldn't bear to look away.
She silently took her hand away, then stood up, keeping a safe distance from him.
"Ye Xiu, I can't leave with you. Once I leave, the fate of the Fox clan cannot be changed.
By then, all the fox clan will die. I can't leave them alone, they will die."
She took a deep breath and continued: "And, can we really live a carefree life?
I am a nine-tailed demon fox, and everyone wants to kill me and take my inner elixir to increase my magical power.
Once we live in hiding, we will only face countless pursuits. I don’t want to live a life of being unstable and running away everywhere.”
Gu Siying turned around pretending to be indifferent, leaving only a trace of her back to Ye Xiu.
"Ye Xiu, I have my mission and my responsibilities. I can't leave now, if I ever leave.
Don’t say we can live a carefree life together, I will die immediately.”
Above her, there is a Nuwa empress.
She is the chess piece and puppet personally chosen by Empress Nuwa.
Therefore, Empress Nuwa will never allow her to leave without permission.
"It is destined to be impossible between us."
Seeing that the woman was about to leave, Ye Xiu grabbed her hand tightly: "Don't leave...
Since coming back from the palace, I can’t sleep or eat. All I can think about all the time is you, Su Daji..."
Gu Siying shook off his hand and looked back at Ye Xiu seriously.
"My name is not Su Daji, my name is Gu Siying."
Su Daji is just the name of the host she is hosting.
As soon as the words Gu Siying fell, it seemed as if every word was struck into Ye Xiu's heart.
He didn't know why, but when he heard this name, he seemed to feel a little spring flowing through his heart.
It felt like I was overjoyed.
"I remember, Gu Siying..."
But the next second, the woman had disappeared from where she was.
It disappeared completely, as if it had never been there.
If it weren't for the scent of her lingering in the air, he would have thought it was just a dream.

Early the next morning.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard in the streets, and people's cries and pleas for mercy could be heard everywhere in the streets and alleys.
Ye Xiu jumped out of the window and immediately kicked away a soldier who was grabbing a strong man.
The woman cried and hugged her husband and son, sobbing uncontrollably.
"what happened?"
The woman then replied bitterly: "What's going on? It's all because of that evil concubine Su Daji!
She encouraged King Zhou to build the Star-Zhaing Tower! Now, King Zhou ordered that all men in the city, young and old, should go to the palace to participate in the project of building the Star-Zhain Tower!
If anyone refuses to resist, he will be killed immediately without mercy!"
Upon hearing this, the disbelief in Ye Xiu's eyes became even deeper.
"Gu Siying..."
Ye Xiu had no choice but to believe it until he saw the imperial list posted on the street.
This is indeed an order issued from the palace.
There were only ordinary people around, and they were all angrily sighing, talking, and insulting.
"This is too much! Many soldiers broke into my house this morning and took away all the valuable things in my house."
"No, I heard that building the Star Building will cost a lot of money! So, they forcefully collect tax money from us!"
"We are all ordinary people who are struggling, where do we get the money?"
"Anyway, all the valuable things that could be taken away from home were taken away, and all the rice from my home was robbed. What kind of monarch is this? This is a robber!"
"The most pitiful person is my father. He is over 60 years old. He was still forced to build the Star Building by the soldiers. Isn't this a crime?"
"My son was arrested when he was just ten years old. How can I survive?"
"In the final analysis, all of this is the fault of that demon concubine Su Daji! I heard that it was the concubine who suggested building the Star Reaching Tower this time!"
"What? How many more people does she want to kill? The reason why King Zhou started the torture was because he believed the evil concubine's slander!
It turns out it's because of her again this time! I see, the Shang Dynasty is doomed. Sooner or later it will be returned to the hands of a demon concubine."
"Su Daji will definitely be punished by God! It's best that the demon concubine dies without a complete body, or that she never gets reincarnated!"
…
At this time, the streets were filled with cries for help and mercy.
A mess.
The soldiers burned, killed and looted everything.
Anyone who resisted was killed with a single sword, which served as a deterrent.
In this way, in just one day, a hundred thousand people were captured and entered the palace to build the so-called Star-Zhaing Tower.
Su Daji's reputation among the people was so bad that he became the object of a curse in every household.
The ministers in the imperial court all looked at each other in confusion. They wanted to prevent King Zhou from building the Star-Zhaing Tower.
But now that the prime minister has been dismissed, no one can take the lead anymore.
Everyone was even more panic-stricken, and no one dared to take the initiative to stand out.
At this time, several treacherous ministers couldn't help but look at Liu Jia, who was mentally weak, and then at Gu Siying, who was beautiful and had won numerous favors.
Suddenly I understood something.
In order to seek a future, the treacherous ministers knelt down one after another and praised King Zhou for building the Star-Zhaing Tower.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise! If our Shang Dynasty could get guidance and help from the immortals and gods, wouldn't it mean that we would be able to secure the world?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, when the time comes, let alone the Shang Dynasty. The whole world belongs to Your Majesty."
"That is, how can ordinary people have a relationship with gods and immortals? Therefore, I feel that this star-catching tower should be built!"
"I feel the same way, and I am willing to spend a hundred taels of gold to help the king build the Star Tower."
"I am also willing..."
…
After a while, King Zhou raised his head and laughed.
"well!"
---
"Hurry up, don't be lazy! Be quick!"
One of the soldiers raised his whip and hit an old man who was working hard.
The old man was very thin, facing the scorching sun, and carrying two large buckets of sand and gravel on his shoulders.
I wanted to take a short rest, but when the whip came off, the sand and gravel on my shoulders fell to the ground.
There was a long queue in front of him and behind him.
One hundred thousand people started working at the same time.
Because King Zhou was in a hurry and issued an order, the Star-Zhaing Tower must be built within three days.
If it cannot be built within three days, not only all the people involved will die! Even the soldiers will die!
Therefore, in addition to catching men to work every day.
The people who built the Star Building cannot rest for 4 hours a day.
In order to save time, they stipulated that they could only drink two pieces of water and one steamed bun a day!
Many people starved to death from exhaustion on their first day here.
"Drag others, you old and immortal thing!" The soldier angrily raised the whip in his hand again.
Before the whip could be drawn, suddenly, a hand tightly grasped the whip. (To be continued)
