Gu Bai had come back, so the dog searching incident which created a huge disturbance in the palace was instantly put to an end.

In order to celebrate, Emperor Tianchen specially asked people to hold a grand palace banquet. In this way, the diligent and economical emperor clearly showed the status of this dog called “Bai” to everyone in the court, whether they were civil or military members.

The group of guards, eunuchs, and maids watched the happy and pampering expression of Emperor Tianchen, who was holding the recovered puppy with a smile on his face. They really had a deep understanding of what it meant to want being a dog than being a human!

On the Imperial throne, Emperor Tianchen sat adorned in gold, holding Gu Bai in his arms. Instead of seeing the singing and dancing below him, he used a low voice to ask what Gu Bai wanted to eat, then personally brought it over to feed him.

After feeding Gu Bai, he would also bow his head to kiss the dog’s head. Not to mention that he wasn't upset that the chopsticks and ladles had been licked by the dog, he also shared the food and wine. His low voice and tender expression made the courtiers unable to bear looking straight at him.

How could a son of heaven not be able to pamper a dog? However, he was raising a dog, when it was clearly a lover . This person ate and slept with the dog, but also shook up the entire Imperial Palace for it. What would it look like otherwise?!

Then when they thought of the natural disasters that happened repeatedly in various regions of Wei Country, all the courtiers shook their heads in their hearts. Everyone was wondering if it was like what those commoners' rumors had said. Was it possible that Emperor Tianchen wasn't the real Son of Heaven of Wei Country…?

Some courtiers couldn’t help but stand up and speak.

“Your Majesty, now there are many disasters in Wei Country, and the people have no way to earn a living. We're still sitting here, holding a palace banquet for a puppy. If this is spread, wouldn't it make the civilians' hearts cold…?”

“w.a.n.g-daren worries needlessly.does not want to discuss government affairs today…”

Emperor Tianchen was unconcerned, hugging Gu Bai and kissing his eyes and paws, smiling tenderly.

After Gu Bai was incarnated as a dog, his innate dog's nature was very strong. In addition, Emperor Tianchen's dragon qi was instinctively attractive to Yao, so he couldn’t help clinging onto Emperor Tianchen and getting close, stretching out his tongue to lick the other’s eyelids, nose, and mouth.

Intimate contact, especially on the mouth, was the best way to absorb the dragon qi. The little tongue didn't want to leave when it reached Emperor Tianchen's mouth, but also had a strong urge to drill into it.

The little, soft touch made Emperor Tianchen not dislike it at all, and his face carried a smile.

He seemed to see a handsome young man through the appearance of the little white dog in front of him. Imagining that the young man was kissing him with flushed cheeks, his eyelashes trembling and his beautiful eyes looking red-tinged, Emperor Tianchen felt his blood boil.

Seeing the intimacy between one person and one dog, the ignored w.a.n.g-daren felt that his eyes were blinded, and even the thick-skinned felt it was unbearable.

“Woof, woof…”

Gu Bai noticed his expression, and he was prompted by the dog’s innate nature to raise his chin and call at w.a.n.g-daren twice.

Then he turned around and twisted his b.u.t.t towards w.a.n.g-daren. He was very pleased with his performance, which made all the courtiers, who saw him, turn their heads to choke back their laughter.

“Hmph!”

w.a.n.g-daren's face was red. He was an official of the previous dynasty. He had little power, but was highly respected, and many people would give face to him in court. Now, he was being disdained by a dog. He couldn't argue with a dog, so he could only sit down again in a sullen mood.

Next to him, Prince Rui handed him a cup of wine, respectfully consoling him, “Don’t be angry, w.a.n.g-daren, it’s nothing more than just a domesticated animal…”

“It’s obviously not just a domesticated animal. His Majesty is so ridiculous. Look, the Son of Heaven is actually sharing a plate with a dog! It’s truly losing face for the Imperial family! If the late emperor didn't only have that eldest prince left, this old man would definitely not agree…”

“w.a.n.g-daren, there are many people with wandering eyes and ears, so speak cautiously…”

Prince Rui kindly reminded him, and only then did w.a.n.g-daren shut his mouth. Seeing a prince so respectful, w.a.n.g-daren had a more favorable impression of him.

Seeing this, Gu Bai nipped at Emperor Tianchen’s wrist and motioned to him. Now, most of the important officials of Wei Country had been bribed by Prince Rui, and he was biding his time to usurp the throne.

Emperor Tianchen’s eyes darkened, and he patted Gu Bai's head and continued to be sticky and intimate with him.

By the time the banquet was halfway over, the dancer in the main hall who had been dancing alone retired, and a group of dancers sprung up to start a new dance, led by an enchanting beauty in a purple dress and veil.

Although they couldn't see the woman's face, only her figure and demeanor, people knew that she had to be a peerless beauty, full of grace in every movement. All the courtiers who were talking in low voices just stopped, their eyes attracted.

Gu Bai also looked over. Instead of being attracted, he felt a familiar and dangerous scent from the other. Such a beauty wasn't a real person. There was no doubt that it had to be Su Xinru!

The dancing woman truly was Su Xinru. She actually wanted to avoid the possibility of prison by walking away from it. She was an exceptional beauty, so she didn't need to worry about finding a financial backer to live a good life.

But the system wanted Emperor Tianchen's dragon qi. She had to complete this task, otherwise not only would she be punished, she would also lose the system.

She had been relying on the system since she transmigrated. If the system left, she wouldn’t know what to do. Besides, she was extremely unwilling. She was such a beautiful woman, yet she couldn’t even compare to a dog in front of Emperor Tianchen. It hurt her self-esteem!

Seeing that Emperor Tianchen, sitting on the Dragon seat, was still holding Gu Bai, her heart felt a burst of injustice, and she danced and danced until she was in front of Emperor Tianchen.

“Your Majesty, this dance is for you. This wine is only for you…”

Su Xinru held up the wine gla.s.s with her slender, jade-like fingers. Her face was covered by the veil, revealing only a pair of attractive eyes. She really was a hard-to-resist woman of unmatched beauty.

It was a very common toast, but Gu Bai felt an energy emanating from Su Xinru’s eyes. Obviously, the other didn’t know what kind of magic was being used.

Emperor Tianchen seemed to have noticed something too. His eyes flashed with a fierce light, and the corner of his mouth was grim. He pulled out a long sword from a bodyguard’s waist and stabbed it into her chest.

“Come, guards, protect everyone!”

Accompanying Emperor Tianchen's cry, the dancers below suddenly took out flexible swords from their waists.

For a while, chaos broke out in the hall. Besides the military leaders who could ward the dancers off, the ministers and civil officials could only hold their heads and evade.

These dancers were obviously trained. Emperor Tianchen also had a large number of bodyguards and escorts. They failed to get close for a while, but many of the other courtiers were killed by their swords.
