Jing Ke, Ying Zheng's Letter
Rovi hadn't actually used foul language towards others for a long time. After all, although he was willful, he wasn't truly reckless and without any bottom line.
Only when needed, only when facing people who "deserve to be scolded," will Rovi demonstrate his abilities as the oldest "troll."
But he never intended to curse that Nine-Tails Fox.
Although they are enemies, Tamamo no Mae's personality is not as bad as that of Rovi, who completely despises her.
I never imagined that the 'chaotic' ramblings that sprouted in my heart would be presented in this form.
All I can say is... it's actually pretty good?
That way, if you want to provoke someone in the future, you won't even need to use your words!
Rovi even considered extracting the chaos within him and crafting it into a Noble Phantasm, which he might as well name "Chaos Bell"...
The enormous Machine God slowly shrank and disappeared in the Tanggu. Its wide robes fell and its black hair flew. Rovi Wei glanced to the distance as Divine Sword fell from the sky and landed on his back.
The sky and darkness had completely vanished, replaced by a clear blue sky with a sun high in the sky, shining with gentle sunlight.
"It's finally over... it was too slow!"
At the end of the valley, the water rippled, and a figure strode in, her long, dark dress billowing in the wind.
"It's not slow anymore; after all, it's the back side left behind by the former Supreme God." Rovi looked at the newcomer.
Her black hair flew in the wind, her long dress fluttered gently, and her long sleeves, which hung down like clouds, covered her arms, revealing only a pair of slender, jade-like fingers. A silk belt around her waist cinched her waist, tightening her graceful and exquisite curves.
Even though the battle was over, Yu Ji, who had been waiting outside Tanggu for a long time without seeing Rovi Wei return, raised her delicate eyebrows, revealed her tiger teeth, and snorted disdainfully, "Excuses? I saw you chatting quite happily with that fox just now."
"I can smell that awful fox smell on you—"
Yu Ji knew Tamamo no Mae.
After all, they are beings who have lived for a very long time. Even if they are not familiar with each other, they must have met and know of each other's existence.
"She was really happy, so happy she almost cried." Rovi couldn't help but chuckle when he mentioned this.
Although it was an accident, it was indeed delightful.
Rovi doesn't swear at people casually.
But since they are enemies, I won't regret cursing them.
Seeing his expression, Yu Ji suddenly felt somewhat relieved. After all, his expression seemed completely devoid of any ulterior motives... Wait, what am I relieved about? What does it matter to her what's going on between this guy and that fox?
She only used Rovi as a tool for 'comfort'.
That's right, that's all.
"So, what are your plans next?" Yu Ji stepped forward and stood in front of Rovi.
Rovi paused for a moment, then pondered for a second, "Since I've been traveling all over this Divine Land."
He wanted to see the scenery of his ancient hometown, and also to gather the malice of this war-torn era along the way.
Moreover, although the Immortals and Gods have passed away, since Taiyi left behind this chaotic aspect, it is likely that other Immortals and Gods may have left behind similar things to varying degrees.
Therefore, searching for these "Six Heavens Old Ghost" to cleanse the world of its inhabitants is a good choice.
Even if those Six Heavens Old Ghost might be incredibly powerful, with death as his backup, Rovi never feared anything.
Moreover, he could sense that after absorbing the Six Heavens Old Ghost, the 'Chaos' within his body had grown considerably stronger.
Although it hasn't yet affected the degree of Rovi's own consciousness, the speed of this expansion is much faster than simply absorbing spiritual energy.
This is something done for all people.
It was also for his own planning.
"Traveling Divine Land ... what's so great about it?" A hint of disappointment flashed across Yu Ji's crimson eyes. She had intended to invite Rovi to sit under the Fusang Tree, but Luo Rovi had no such idea. However, seeing his serious expression, Yu Ji began to ponder.
In the vast Tanggu, the former land of sunrise, even after a recent 'great battle', the vegetation still thrives and life flourishes. The wind blows, lifting the girl's black dress and tossing her long, smooth, jet-black hair.
Yu Ji pondered deeply. Although she felt a sense of kinship and affection for the person before her, it had not yet reached the point of being inseparable.
But the words she had thought of before resurfaced in her mind, and the phrase "the one I want" suddenly made Yu Ji unable to let go.
"Fine, I'll reluctantly accompany you on this trip!" She sighed and said slowly, "Apart from that fox, there is no living being who understands this place better than me!"
This is the truth.
"Then let's go!" Rovi nodded and extended his hand. "Immortal Yu?"
"You're quite sensible." Yu Ji grinned, her beautiful face slightly upturned.
She was actually quite happy.
She was glad that Rovi did not reject her and that Rovi was willing to travel with her.
It wasn't clear before.
However, at this moment, the power that Rovi displayed with his ' Six Heavens Old Ghost's ' whistle, which could affect celestial phenomena and alter the planetary environment over a thousand miles, still made Yu Ji somewhat apprehensive.
She will not die, but she is never strong.
The Heavenly Immortal is chosen for its purity.
The spirits born from the planet are the purest of all.
She is not known for her strength. Even though, to some extent, Yu Ji's immortality is comparable to that of a planet, the fundamental difference still exists.
However, it seems that she was overthinking it.
Come to think of it, although Rovi is powerful, he has never bullied the weak. He is like the Huaxia Ancestor Gods of China in the past, always placing himself among the masses...
Yu Ji placed her hand in Rovi's palm.
"Please give me your guidance." Rovi yawned.
Yu Ji snorted, "Although it's annoying, I'll still guide you properly so you can find your way. Don't worry."
The air was crisp and clear, the sun shone brightly, and a glimmer of stars shone in the sky.
Chu Land.
After the storm passed, everything seemed to return to calm. Those who died in the disaster were buried, and the grief spread invisibly, but gradually healed itself over time.
Ordinary people's lives always slip away under the wind and sun, the only difference is that the entire Divine Continent has become a topic of conversation because of what happened before.
"On that day, the world was plunged into darkness, plunging the entire Chu Land into gloom. The sound of drums reached everyone's ears, filling them with dread. Then, a strange, black sun appeared in the sky, summoning them..."
"At the opportune moment, the East China Sea rose, overflowing the Yangtze River and flowing into the land of China. Clouds stretched like the sea, and a ray of the rising sun appeared..."
But then one man came with a sword, sweeping away the storm and cutting through the long, dark night—
"His title is Emperor Dong Hua, the master of the vast East Sea, and the Great Emperor Fusang who controls the circulation of water and air in the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man."
Inns and taverns are frequented by merchants from all over the country, making this place a hub for the most efficient exchange of information. At this moment, someone takes to the stage to tell their story, weaving previously told tales into a coherent narrative.
Those were the 'novelists' among the Hundred Schools of Thought, whose main occupation was to record folk tales and gossip and create various stories to circulate in the world.
It was a school of thought that contrasted with the official historians, who only recorded official history, while novelists mostly told stories from the streets and alleys.
In this brightly lit, bustling place, you can see them most often.
The novelist stands on the stage, and his words simultaneously stir up a thousand waves.
Someone stood up and said, "I've heard about this too. I have a friend who was involved; he was terrified, but thankfully he survived..."
"That friend of yours is yourself, isn't it?" someone laughed out loud, without any politeness.
"Nonsense, nonsense, how could it be me..." The person blushed with embarrassment.
"The Emperor Dong Hua is the god of the legitimate calendar, Master Xun of the Jixia Academy also mentioned this matter."
"The true god, or even a legitimate immortal!"
"..."
Opinions are divided, and discussions are endless.
But they didn't know that the person they were talking about was sitting right next to them.
"Sounds pretty impressive." A sly smile appeared on someone's face in the side room. "I was wondering, what if I turned your story into a strategy?"
The beautiful young woman blinked her crimson eyes, seemingly with ill intent. "I'm just recording this. The dignified Emperor Dong Hua actually stole the Fusang Tree from the Earthly Immortal through blatant theft and plunder..."
"If you can write, then I can write too," Rovi reminded him. "Moreover, the Fusang Tree belonged to the Sun God Xihe, and after the Immortals and Gods left, it became an ownerless object."
"You only stayed there for a few hundred cents..."
"So what?" Yu Ji looked over.
"I just wanted to say, you've slept with the Fusang Tree for hundreds of years and still haven't become its master. Don't bring this up again." Rovi said earnestly, "I'm doing this for your own good, after all... it's quite embarrassing, isn't it?"
"..."
Yu Ji wanted to explode instantly, but considering that there were people all around, the girl took a deep breath and suppressed her displeasure.
"That makes sense, though. Several hundred years have passed, time has flowed by, and a dynasty has already come to an end." Rovi gazed at the wine and spirits laid out on the table before him.
Drinking seven cups is the national wine of Qin, Chu, Qi, Yan, Zhao, Wei, Han.
There was once the Western Zhou Dynasty, which was destroyed and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty continued its rule. However, the Son of Heaven was weak and was bullied by other states. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period came and went twice. Now the Zhou Dynasty has been destroyed, and there are only seven cups of wine left on this table.
Rovi smiled.
Yu Ji was furious, thinking he was making fun of her for only knowing how to sleep.
Unexpectedly, Rovi stood up abruptly, not giving Yu Ji a chance to retaliate. "Alright, it's time."
Yu Ji was stunned for a moment, then hummed and stood up.
"Where do you want to go next?"
"We've traversed Six States, so there must be no place we haven't yet..."
"Do we have to travel that far again? This is so annoying—"
Yu Ji puffed out her cheeks, as if she were very dissatisfied.
But he followed closely.
A considerable amount of time had passed since the previous battle against the Chu State. During this time, she and Rovi had traversed the lands of the Six States within Hangu Pass and had seen many beautiful landscapes.
Although the Qin state is currently the sole hegemon, the Qin Sword that have been unleashed in the east have long been feared by all the states under heaven.
Among these many countries, there are still quite a few admirable and talented people.
Hundred Schools of Thought of Thought, a wandering knight from the lands of Yan and Zhao... It's a pity I didn't find the Six Heavens Old Ghost.
It seems to stem from an unforeseen timing.
Now, we have tasted the finest wines from Six States.
That leaves only one country.
Rovi and Yu Ji left the bustling inn and tavern, but they were still talking about the matter of the incident.
A light drizzle suddenly began to fall outside the window.
Someone looked up in a daze and saw two figures walking side by side in the drizzle, gradually disappearing into the distance.
The rain was as soft as butter.
The wind and rain never cease in this city.
It was as if there were ethereal, otherworldly figures.
When the man turned around again, he saw that the hall was full of people, and no one seemed to notice.
"After hiding for so long, it's time to come out."
In the city, under the wind and rain in the deep alley, two people, one in front of the other and one behind, each held an umbrella. Rovi suddenly stopped and looked back.
Yu Ji was also taken aback.
She then looked in the direction Rovi was looking...
"Haha, have we been discovered? As expected of the Divine Immortal!" A clear voice, tinged with a hint of alcohol, rang out from a corner of the street where the drizzle was falling.
Yu Ji suddenly awoke with a start. Someone was there?
However, there seemed to be no hostility.
Just as she felt a little relieved, she suddenly became somewhat wary again.
Why didn't I notice anything when the other person approached?
Has she really become this lazy?
Yu Ji fell into deep thought.
Rovi wasn't surprised at all, after all, he knew that nothing could hide from the other party's existence. "There's nothing in this rain that can hide from me."
"Hahaha, that's true." The man laughed a few times and shook the gourd in his hand.
Sunlight filtered through the hazy clouds, illuminating a figure in a long white sleeve. This was a swordsman dressed as a swordsman, carrying a long sword on his back. His black hair was tied up and adorned with white flowers, and the strands of hair that fell across his forehead accentuated his refined and heroic face. The open front of his robe undulated slightly, and the belt around his waist caused the hem of his robe to sway, revealing a pair of straight, well-built, and fair thighs.
A swordswoman, and a young female swordswoman at that.
Although she didn't use an umbrella, her entire body was enveloped in an invisible 'spiritual power'... The spiritual power was woven into a spell to shield her from the wind and rain.
"I am Jing Ke... I have met... Emperor Dong Hua... I have long admired your name, hiccup..."
Rovi did not conceal his existence; anyone with even a little cultivation could detect his identity.
They blend into the crowd like ordinary people, yet constantly seek to attract attention.
However, it seems that the young swordswoman named Jing Ke was not at all restrained by Rovi Weina's seemingly unapproachable level.
Rovi had a sudden thought and said, "I've heard that the lands of Yan and Zhao are full of generous and tragic heroes... I've long admired the name of Jing Ke."
"I've heard so much about you? Ah, Your Majesty, you've also heard of my name?" Jing Ke grinned and shook his head.
Rovi Wei met her not in this world, but in a past class.
The story of Jing Ke's assassination attempt on the King of Qin is widely known.
However, before Rovi could respond, Jing Ke answered on his own, "Indeed, the Heavenly Emperor can know the Heavenly Emperor with a single thought, so it is only natural that he can know."
"Speaking of which, it is fate that we were able to meet the Emperor," Jing Ke said. "Would you like to join me at this gathering?"
Attending the meeting?
"Attending a... hiccup, Divine Land Grand Gathering— "
Boom!
Dark clouds swirled and thunder roared incessantly.
In the Qi State, at Xu Fu's residence.
"Eh!? Is it really the Emperor? The Emperor, the Emperor has also come to the Divine Land?" The girl, Xu Fu, whose square hat was swaying from side to side and whose black hair covered half of her face, looked at the figure in front of her with excitement. She sat on the ground, her legs wrapped in black silk, and couldn't help but rub them together, her face flushed with excitement.
Opposite her, a maid who came forward to report couldn't help but cough, "Miss, that's not the point. The point is the letter—a letter personally written by Zhao Gao, the Chief of the Imperial Carriage Office of Qin..."
"That's not important, what's important is the Emperor, the Emperor!" Xu Fu exclaimed excitedly, his arms outstretched.
"..."
"Ahem, what did the letter say?" Seemingly realizing his own 'abnormal state,' Xu Fu coughed softly, his handsome face still flushed.
Fortunately, the maid already knew that her young mistress was strange.
So she slowly took out the letter, unwrapped the cover, and for a moment, she couldn't help but freeze in shock.
"W-What's wrong?" Xu Fu, somewhat confused.
The maid whispered, "Miss, this is... a letter from King of Qin to Emperor Dong Hua."
"King of Qin, give this to the Emperor!?" Xu Fu's eyes widened slightly.
