Chapter 123: The Star-Picking Tower rises from the ground, Bo Yikao has recovered Ziwei's memory early, and you have a seat among the Four Imperial Gods of Heaven!
In the Zhaixing Tower, Emperor Xin was overjoyed when he heard Fei Zhong report the treasures.

"In this way, the Lutai can be built quickly, and the wine pool and meat forest can be expanded."

"Very good, very good!"

Fei Zhong rolled his eyes and said immediately.

"Your Majesty, since Xiqi still has such financial resources, why don't we hold Bo Yikao hostage as well and exchange him for some money and food!"

When Emperor Xin heard that there was money and food to be obtained, he nodded immediately.

But this time, before he could speak, Su Daji beside him said softly: "Your Majesty, Bo Yikao has come here with food and grass, he must be tired from the journey, why not arrange a place for him to stay so that he can have a good rest, and also preserve Your Majesty's virtue of keeping his promise."

As soon as Su Daji spoke up, Emperor Xin immediately changed his mind and ordered, "Bo Yikao, you stay at the inn for the time being."

Bo Yikao just knelt down.

"All the money and food have been delivered. I beg the king to release my father Ji Chang and let him live with me in the post station."

Fei Zhong shouted at the side: "The property you brought is only worth half of it! You can't let it go!"

Bo Yikao's repeated pleas were in vain. Emperor Xin was displeased and ordered his men to take him to the post station for custody.

Su Daji's beautiful eyes were fixed on Bo Yikao until he left, then she withdrew her gaze with a lingering feeling.

"What are you looking at, beautiful girl?"

Emperor Xin put his big hand around her, and Su Daji quickly responded.

……

It was late at night. Bo Yikao sat quietly in the post station, holding an ancient book in his hand and scanning the room with a calm expression.

It seemed that rescuing Ji Chang, being trapped in Chaoge City, and the corpses scattered all over the city had not affected him at all.

He just sat there quietly, occasionally turning the pages of the book, and the goose-yellow candlelight gave him an inviolable majesty.

Squeak.

The door suddenly opened and a breeze blew in.

With a bang, the door was closed. Su Daji was wearing a long dress as thin as gauze, and her slim figure was faintly visible. Under the candlelight, she looked even more charming and attractive.

Her upper body was pressed on the table, her cheeks were raised, and her watery eyes were blinking.

His eyes were filled with the calm expression of Bo Yikao.

"You are so beautiful."

Four words came out of his mouth, and gusts of fragrant wind blew towards Bo Yikao.

Bo Yikao put down the book in his hand and stood up calmly.

Seeing this, Su Daji liked him even more. She glanced at the book that Bo Yikao put down and suddenly smiled.

"You're such an interesting person."

"Why are you looking at those blank pages?"

Bo Yikao was not moved by Su Daji's words. He just walked to the window and looked up at the cold moonlight.

"Demon Concubine."

Demon concubine?

Su Daji was stunned for a moment, then chuckled. She pulled up her sleeves to cover half of her face and said, "Thank you for the compliment. I also think that Charming the Lord of the Shang Dynasty is a great achievement."

"It's a pity that he's not my type."

Bo Yikao remained silent.

Monsters also have love, but it is obvious that monsters will not have love for humans, even if that is an emperor.

No matter how full of vigor and vitality Emperor Xin was, he had been drained of his energy and blood over the past few months and was no longer as strong as before.

But for a demon like Su Daji, these years are not even an appetizer.

Seeing that Bo Yikao remained silent, Su Daji stood up and walked to Bo Yikao's side, looking him up and down carefully.

The more I looked at her, the more I liked her: "I saved you today, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

"Like becoming my lover and having fun with me?"

Bo Yikao looked at Su Daji coldly.

Su Daji thought that Bo Yikao had some ulterior motives, and hurriedly said, "I only need a few words to the king. If you agree, I can also ask the king to release Ji Chang." Bo Yikao suddenly chuckled, his tone very calm.

"A mere demon concubine dares to disturb my heart?"

"With your appearance, you can fool Emperor Xin, but you are an ugly monster."

Su Daji was furious when her identity was exposed and her face was humiliated. She screamed, "Bo Yikao! I want you to die miserably!"

After saying this, Su Daji left angrily.

It didn't take long before a group of soldiers broke into the house and took Bo Yikao to the cell for custody.

In the dark dungeon, Bo Yikao sat alone at a tattered table, looking at the bright moon outside the small window.

Not long after, two or three jailers entered the cell carrying wine and meat, put the things away, and then left in silence.

Bo Yikao suddenly smiled, reached out to pick up the wine jug, filled a glass with wine, and took a sip slowly.

As soon as sake goes down your throat, all your worries are relieved.

In the darkness of the dungeon, Yang Jiao appeared quietly. He looked at Bo Yikao who was sitting alone at the table, and felt extremely reluctant.

Ziwei's journey has been extremely bumpy, and now he is facing the calamity of Ziwei's reincarnation.

Even he felt a little bit sorry.

"Brother, now that you are here, why are you silent?"

Yang Jiao's heart was shocked and he looked up suddenly, only to see Bo Yikao holding a wine glass in his hand, with joy on his face of seeing an old friend.

"Senior brother?"

He hurried to Bo Yikao in three or two steps, looked at him carefully, and spoke after a long while: "Brother, did you recognize me?"

Bo Yikao pressed the wine cup into his hand and said, "Yes, drink this cup with me, and I will tell you."

Yang Jiao nodded quickly and drank the wine.

Bo Yikao poured more wine and then said, "In fact, I have already recovered my Ziwei memory, but because I have never returned to my position, I have no magical power. However, ordinary monsters' magic cannot affect me."

"By the way, Junior Brother, just now Su Daji tried to seduce me to be her lover. How ridiculous."

"I, the great Ziwei, have actually fallen to the point of being a concubine of a monster."

Yang Jiao felt bitter in his heart, and quickly said: "Brother, don't worry. This time it was Master who ordered me to come here. I can help you escape this disaster."

Hearing this, Bo Yikao just shook his head: "No need."

As he spoke, Bo Yikao raised the wine glass in his hand to the bright moon, tapped the table with his hand, and sang softly.

"I was originally a wandering god in heaven, why did I end up in the human world? It was because Emperor Jun deceived people, and Taiyi helped to cause harm. After experiencing all the sufferings in the world, I realized the leisurely life in heaven. I just need to wait for the cause and effect here to be resolved, and the green mountains and clear waters will always be with me."

Yang Jiao felt very uncomfortable after listening to this, but he just accompanied Bo Yikao with one cup after another.

……

The next morning, Su Daji advised Emperor Xin to capture Bo Yikao from prison and chop him into meat paste.

Su Daji saw Bo Yikao die with her own eyes, but she still felt unsatisfied, so she said to Emperor Xin, "Your Majesty, it's such a waste of meat. Why not make meatballs out of it?"

Emperor Xin asked in confusion, "My beloved concubine wants to eat this human meatball?"

Su Daji's eyes were filled with rage: "When your Majesty is done, please call Ji Chang here. I want to see him eat his own flesh and blood with his own mouth!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Great! My beloved concubine, your idea is good!"

"Someone, make this pile of mud into meatballs and bring Ji Chang up!"

……

Above Chaoge City, Bo Yikao's soul was protected by Yang Jiao: "Brother, I will take you to see the master."

When Yang Jiao finished telling Hua Guang what happened yesterday, Hua Guang praised him, "Bo Yikao has indeed become somewhat enlightened. You deserve a place among the Four Imperial Gods of Heaven."

Upon hearing this, Yang Jiao was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, master!"

"Brother, you must be blessed for your efforts!"
