Chapter 170 The So-Called Benevolent Person
Daji used Bo Yikao as a cauldron, using the method of male-female harmony as the foundation, absorbing yang to replenish yin, and after a night of clouds and rain, finally stopped, her cultivation making progress.
The next morning, a grand banquet was held in the court. After three rounds of wine, Bo Yikao was already feeling tipsy.
Before Fei Zhong and You Hun could speak, King Zhou, in high spirits, said, "I haven’t seen the pleasure of the Scorpion Pit for a while. Someone, choose a beautiful palace maid, clean her up, and push her into the Scorpion Pit for everyone’s entertainment!"
Upon hearing this, the courtiers all changed color.
However, everyone knew that King Zhou hated ministers who offered remonstrance the most. Advising at this time was not only useless but would also cost them their lives.
The guards were already very skilled at this task. Fearing that the palace maid would utter rebellious words when pushed into the Scorpion Pit, her tongue had already been cut out beforehand. They would casually put some hemostatic medicine in her mouth before pushing her in.
Seeing blood about to be shed again, Daji clapped her hands excitedly on the court.
But Bo Yikao, even though he had been with Daji recently, his heart remained unchanged. Leaning on the railing, he looked down at the Scorpion Pit, seeing the mass of snakes and scorpions, the stench overwhelming.
He turned his head to look at the palace maid, whose face was streaming with tears, so innocent. Seeing the faces of King Zhou and Daji, he felt even more disgusted.
Just as Ji Chang said, Bo Yikao, like Nezha, cared about the seemingly insignificant lives of the common people.
