Rebirth of the Supreme Celestial Being

Chapter 775.6: Extra 6: Fairy Zhi Wei

In this way, Lin Zhan moved into the East Sovereign’s palace, which caused an uproar in the entire East Land.

The East Sovereign Xuan Wushe had always been a restrained person who didn’t indulge in the pleasures of the flesh. Many of his fellow Daoist friends suspected that in order to win the throne, he had cultivated the Dao of Indifference that rendered him unfeeling, yet Lin Zhan’s appearance slapped them hard in the face.

“Have you heard that the East Sovereign recently took in a male pet and treated him so well that he was allowed to directly enter the palace where the harem resides?”

“I also heard that that male pet likes the Lotus Garden, so the Eastern Sovereign gave him the entire Lotus Garden as his back garden, allowing him to come and go as he pleased.”

“That? That’s nothing. Didn’t the East Sovereign’s palace have female concubines from two or three influential families before? For the sake of that male pet, he actually sent those female concubines back. Tsk tsk, not even heroes are immune to beauties.”

All kinds of rumors sprang up one after another, spreading from the East Land to several other regions. Before long, everyone in the Nine Lands knew that the East Sovereign was bewitched by a coquettish, lowly male pet, and that he hung out with him all day long, taking him wherever he went. Those who didn’t know thought that Lin Zhan was a peerless furnace, who was beneficial for improving his cultivation.

As a matter of fact, Xuan Wushe was indeed acting like the rumors said. Actually, he was even worse.

Whenever he had free time, he wanted to spend it with Lin Zhan.

He realized that Lin Zhan was simply a treasure. He always had all kinds of strange ideas in his head. Those ideas could be called grotesque and original, and they always piqued Xuan Wushe’s interest—

For example, the correct way to open a milk bottle.

For example, rare cooking methods such as fried steak and soft-boiled bird eggs.

Even though Xuan Wushe had been fasting for many years and also didn’t need to eat, the desire to eat was human nature. Plus, the reason he cultivated to such a high level wasn’t to deprive himself of delightful flavors, so Xuan Wushe made no secret of his appreciation and interest for Lin Zhan’s cooking.

Lin Zhan would naturally also think of ways to make Xuan Wushe happy.

Before, he only regarded Xuan Wushe as someone he liked, but after a long time of contact, he took care of Xuan Wushe like he was one of Teacher’s apprentices in his past life—like his younger brother and son, who needed to be coaxed.

Originally, Xuan Wushe’s mother, Fairy Zhi Wei, turned a blind eye to this. Whenever someone complained about this, she just said flatly: “Wushe has also reached that age, and Lord Guangling is the first one he took a liking to. He will naturally pamper him for a longer period of time. This is nothing.”

The women who were chased away from the harem also came to Fairy Zhi Wei crying.

This one said, “I have been serving His Majesty with all my heart these years, and I dared not make the slightest difference. How could His Majesty be so ruthless and send me back to my clan without even saying anything?”

The last one said, “That Lin Guangling has the look of a vixen. I saw him once, and he dared to sit on His Majesty’s lap and make His Majesty feed him. He must have done something to His Majesty to bewitch him.”

Fairy Zhi Wei didn’t care about those before. After all, her son had been liked by others since he was a child and many people would die for him. Fairy Zhi Wei could also be considered as someone who had seen the world and knew just how popular her son was.

Even if Xuan Wushe didn’t even give this mother of his so much as an advance notice when he sent all his concubines away, Fairy Zhi Wei still didn’t think much of it. After all, these aristocratic families sent their women here solely to stabilize their relationship with the Xuan Clan and to please Xuan Wushe. However, Xuan Wushe avoided these women and remained unmoved for so many years, which showed that this path wasn’t feasible from the start.

Sending them away or letting them stay wouldn’t actually make a difference.

But Lin Zhan dared to let Wushe be intimate with him in broad daylight and condescendingly make Xuan Wushe feed a lowly concubine like him–this was a bit too much.

Fairy Zhi Wei was a little displeased and asked, “There is such a thing?”

The older maidservant beside Fairy Zhi Wei said, “Your Highness is cultivating and meditating every day, so you don’t know about it. Now the East Palace is almost under Lord Guangling’s complete control. There was a young master from the Du family who had a conflict with Lord Guangling for some reason a while ago. Lin Guangling actually ordered someone to kick that young master out. After His Majesty found out, instead of punishing Lin Guangling, he even rewarded him with many magic treasures and pills, saying those were to alleviate Lord Guangling’s shock from the encounter.”

Fairy Zhi Wei’s face suddenly turned livid as she slammed her hand on the table. “Such absurdity!”

Another maidservant also chimed in, “There are many more absurd matters than this. Many people say that His Majesty was bewitched by Lin Guangling’s charm magic, and they also suspect that Lin Guangling has a special method to control people’s hearts. Even General Zhuang runs to the palace every other day and seems to have a very good relationship with Lin Guangling.”

Fairy Zhi Wei narrowed her eyes and played with the beads in her hand. “It seems that it is indeed time for me to meet that capable Lord Guangling.”

Fairy Zhi Wei wanted to see Lin Zhan and perhaps intimidate him a little, so she must find some time when Xuan Wushe was not around. Xuan Wushe was going out to visit friends on this day, and he would not come back until about half a month later. Fairy Zhi Wei then had someone summon Lin Zhan.

As soon as Lin Zhan heard that it was his mother-in-law who wanted to see him, and then thought about the rumors about him he heard recently, he naturally understood, knowing that this time he might not pass the test easily.

However, Lin Zhan didn’t care about these things, nor was he afraid of anything.

He had lived for so many years. Apart from the thought of parting with Teacher, there was nothing that scared him.

Lin Zhan had a good time dressing up and making himself look like a dog, and then he followed the livid-faced maidservant, got into the colorful bird-drawn carriage, before it flew away heading towards Fairy Zhi Wei’s palace.

Along the way, the maidservant ignored Lin Zhan entirely.

Lin Zhan also looked indifferent, leaning against the side of the carriage, looking out at the scenery.

The East Palace occupied a large area, so it was natural to need a carriage to travel, and no one was allowed to travel fast on ordinary days.

Arriving at Fairy Zhi Wei’s palace, Lin Zhan got out of the carriage and took a deep breath. He felt that the Qi here was not as rich and clean as that of the Lotus Garden, so he didn’t hold much hope for it.

The servant girl brought Lin Zhan to Fairy Zhi Wei, and said, “This one is Lin Guangling.”

Fairy Zhi Wei sat on the top seat, narrowed her eyes at Lin Zhan, and said, “Why did it take you so long to come here? You actually made this one wait for you.”

The eldest servant girl answered, “This humble servant has urged him many times, but Lord Guangling is still unhurried, as if he doesn’t know that Her Majesty is waiting for him.”

Lin Zhan glanced at the maidservant, then smiled and said, “This is not called unhurried, it’s methodical. If Her Majesty had told me in advance that Her Majesty wanted to see me, I will naturally prepare in advance, but Her Majesty had sent someone and ordered for me to come so suddenly, and I was terrified for a moment, so I had to tidy myself up and dress properly to meet Her Majesty, otherwise wouldn’t it be disrespectful to Her Majesty?”

Fairy Zhi Wei thought in her heart, What a glib tongue this Lin Guangling has, no wonder Xuan Wushe was coaxed so happily by him.

Since Lin Guangling kept saying that it was out of respect for her, Fairy Zhi Wei couldn’t say anything else.

Fairy Zhi Wei didn’t invite Lin Zhan to take a seat, but had him stand just like this. “I heard that before you entered the East Palace, you already made Wushe dismiss his entire harem. You really are capable.”

Lin Zhan smiled as he glanced at the three girls sitting next to Fairy Zhi Wei. When he thought about how Xuan Wushe had already sent them away before Lin Zhan even had a chance to meet them face to face, he couldn’t help thinking, I am really an excessive and arrogant male pet.

Lin Zhan blinked but said without a trace of guilt, “How could I influence His Majesty the East Sovereign’s thoughts? I just made a suggestion, and the final decision is still made by the East Sovereign.”

Fairy Zhi Wei also smiled. “And your suggestion was for him to disband the harem and pamper you alone?”

“How would I dare do that?” Lin Zhan pretended to be surprised. “Could it be that someone is deliberately playing tricks in front of Her Majesty? I told the East Sovereign clearly that if he has no feelings for them, the flowers in the harem should be allowed to leave before they wilt in here. If the East Sovereign has no intentions for them, it’s best to give these gentle and beautiful women a good way out. Don’t waste their time in this empty and lonely harem. The flowering period is so short, don’t tell me they must stay here their entire lives?”

“You—” A woman got up angrily, pointing at Lin Zhan. “That’s a bunch of nonsense. I’ve heard it all, it’s you who threatened His Majesty the East Sovereign that if he doesn’t send us away, you won’t follow him back to the palace!”

“Now this is nonsense.” Lin Zhan stopped smiling and stared at the woman. “Do you mean to say that His Majesty, who is so wise and powerful, would be threatened by a mere male pet of his?”

The woman was taken aback and quickly said, “I didn’t mean that.”

Fairy Zhi Wei frowned. “Sit back and don’t talk.”

The woman sat back aggrieved.

Fairy Zhi Wei could already see Lin Zhan’s uniqueness and felt that this person was different from others.

Fairy Zhi Wei looked at Lin Zhan. “Your appearance is only mediocre, but I think you probably have other methods. Otherwise Wushe would not have been bewitched by you for so long.”

Lin Zhan couldn’t help but click his tongue in his heart, and thought to himself, Even using the word “bewitch”, it seems that this Fairy Zhi Wei is very dissatisfied with me.

But so what?

Lin Zhan said calmly, “You are right, if I don’t even have the slightest ability, wouldn’t I be hated by His Majesty within a few days?”

Fairy Zhi Wei: “So, what is your ability?”

Lin Zhan said meaningfully, “My position has always been clear–male pet. What can a male pet be used for? Certainly not for helping him with administration or management.”

That’s right.

Even Fairy Zhi Wei couldn’t help feeling speechless for a moment.

What are male pets used for?

Of course, they were used to warm the bed to please the master, and the bed warming was naturally the most important function.

The women behind Fairy Zhi Wei looked at Lin Zhan with strange expressions.

Could it be that Lin Zhan was good in the bedchamber, so His Majesty was bewitched?

The girls immediately became angry. They also wanted to do the same, but the prerequisite was that Xuan Wushe had to give them this opportunity first.

Fairy Zhi Wei said after a while, “You had a conflict with the youngest son of the Du family before. What was that about?”

Lin Zhan explained generously, “That kid insisted on molesting me, so I thought, although I am a lowly male pet, I am still His Majesty’s person. If he molested me, he would be looking down on His Majesty, so I naturally need to defend His Majesty’s honor, so I ordered him to be beaten up. Unexpectedly, he dared to tattle.”

Fairy Zhi Wei: “….”

Okay, okay, it was all his fault, what you did was right.
