Xu Fu was extremely excited at this moment.

It's hard for outsiders to understand Xu Fu Fu's mentality. Even those who, like her, Seeking Immortality Immortal Fate were all aiming for a connection with the immortals, unlike Xu Fu who simply wanted to see an immortal.

Countless times she went to sea, countless times she faced life and death. What she pursued was always the mysterious manifestation of immortals and Immortals and Gods, those beings that were rarely seen by mortals. This was a deep-seated desire—it could even be said to originate from an impulse of origin.

Rovi was the first Immortals and Gods she met, and also the first Immortals and Gods she had ever met who treated her so gently.

In Xu Fu's heart, he also has a status that is absolutely irreplaceable and is as important as the origin.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty—"

Without needing directions or further explanation, the girl headed excitedly towards the inn.

The swaying, wide robes were already glowing with the light of 'spells'. As Seeking Immortality, Xu Fu's magical skills were naturally profound, having reached a ' Divine Being level ' realm that was infinitely close to that of Immortals and Gods.

Thus, under the shimmering light, even though the Yan State's capital city inn, a bustling place where countless merchants and travelers temporarily stayed, was filled with people, no one noticed her existence.

Xu Fu, whose personality was timid and even somewhat shy, naturally kept his head down and continued forward.

Following the aura of Rovi's in my senses—following the direction of the Emperor's existence in my memories.

Wrapped in black silk, her beautiful legs landed on the ground, her short skirt swaying gently beneath her robe. The further she moved forward, the happier Xu Fu Fu's expression became.

Emperor, Emperor...

Is it a bit too abrupt to say "Your Majesty, we meet again"?

"Your Majesty, I am Xu Fu, whom you have met before." This seemed a bit too formal... The closer he got to his target, the more he simulated his behavior after meeting him, and the more inexplicable unease appeared on Xu Fu Fu's face.

This evoked complex and difficult feelings, but for the girl, it seemed like a willing acceptance...

"Your Majesty—"

Ahead, Xu Fu finally saw the figure she had longed for day and night... She passed directly through the wall, but what she saw was two figures embracing each other behind a light gauze curtain...

"Eh!? Your Majesty, and... Immortal Yu?" Xu Fu was stunned, and the little girl tilted her head.

Is this the kind of relationship between the Emperor and Immortal Yu?

She stood there, frozen in place.

Somewhat bewildered, she heard a voice beside her. "It's impolite to come in without knocking, little girl."

"I'm so sorry!" Xu Fu instantly clutched her head, pressing her hands to her hat, raising it high and lowering it slightly. She cautiously looked to the side, letting out a surprised voice. "Your Majesty? What are you doing there...? That place is..."

"Ugh, so annoying! Why does someone always disturb my sleep?!" On the bed, Yu Ji slightly propped herself up, her red lips pouting, her face full of dissatisfaction. "Wait, what's this?"

Beneath her was a doll made to resemble Rovi.

"It's actually a 'puppet'!?" Xu Fu's eyes lit up.

Standing next to her, leaning against the wall, Luo Rovi smiled and said, "There was no other way. Someone insisted on holding me and wouldn't let go, so I had to use a puppet instead."

"Hmm," Yu Ji, though awakened by the noise, was still groggy. "How dare you lie to me?"

"I want to eat you—ha!"

With the effects of the alcohol still lingering, Yu Ji appeared especially terrifying.

Xu Fu glanced at Yu Ji, then at Luo Rovi beside her, and tilted her head. Of course, she had no idea that Rovi had only used his magic to break free from Yu Ji Ji's embrace the moment she entered the palace, and used the "Shaping Puppet" Noble Phantasm he had taken from the King's Treasure to create his own likeness, thus creating the scene before her eyes without anyone noticing.

To avoid falling into some kind of awkward situation, this was almost instinctive for Rovi.

So at this moment, he still maintained a calm and composed demeanor.

"A puppet?"

When I get back, I'm definitely going to make a huge Emperor doll!

Xu Fu thought to himself.

Yu Ji rubbed her eyes, her consciousness gradually clearing, and then immediately saw that in addition to Rovi, there was another different figure in the room.

She suddenly became alert, and upon recognizing the girl, she breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in a stern look. "It's you, you little brat!"

The young fairy blushed slightly, and instead of mentioning the situation with Rovi 'puppet' beneath her, she cleverly changed the subject.

I was drunk before, but now when I think back, I still have some memory of Yu Ji.

It was indeed she who forcefully hugged Rovi.

It was indeed her who wouldn't let him leave.

And...

He didn't actually leave.

He hadn't left her... Yu Ji subconsciously picked up the ' Rovi ' beneath her, wanting to pretend to throw him away, but suddenly stopped, slightly lost in thought.

On the other hand, Xu Fu was getting close.

But why haven't I found any clues?

Even if she was drunk, she shouldn't have lacked even the slightest instinctive vigilance.

Has she really become that lazy?

Yu Ji fell into deep thought.

Rovi simply leaned down slightly and rubbed Xu Fu's head to ease her tension. "Remember, come in directly through the door from now on, or I'll get angry."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm just so happy to see you here—" Xu Fu shrank back, but his face was still flushed with excitement.

"You came here specifically to see me, didn't you?"

"It's..."

Xu Fu handed over the letter from the Great Qin addressed to Rovi's, saying, "The King of Qin —well, he's said to be a very formidable man—wrote to tell me that Your Majesty is here, and entrusted me to deliver this letter to you..."

Rovi looked at the letter in his hand. Although the King of Qin ruled the most powerful country in the world, he seemed, at least for the moment, to be cautious. Or rather, although he had ambitions to dominate the world, he also had plans to take precautions and proceed step by step to plan for the overall situation.

Come to think of it, it's definitely not something that could be achieved by luck alone; he was the first person to truly unify the nine Yanhuang of China.

It's not something that can be achieved by simply spouting a few vague words about 'magnanimity'.

Strategic thinking and cunning are absolutely essential.

The King of Qin wrote this letter knowing Rovi's's whereabouts, but instead of sending it directly to him, he sent it to Xu Fu Xu Fu, who then delivered it to Rovi.

This was to avoid offending Rovi, and also to express the sincerity of the Great Qin.

The mighty Great Qin Dynasty is already waiting for the immortal Qin Immortal Lord outside the pass.

Seeing Rovi's pensive expression, Xu Fu hurriedly said, "But Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand..."

"I did not come here to recruit you for the Qin state. I have never been to the Qin state. I only came because I heard that you were here."

"I... I wish to stay by your side and obey your commands!"

"I'll do anything..."

Xu Fu's question was quite simple; she just wanted to see Rovi.

She wanted to follow Rovi, and she would obey whatever Vichy her to do.

There will be absolutely no hesitation!

but...

"Great Qin? Just now, I was about to go there!" Rovi smiled.

Yu Ji got up from the bed, looked at Xu Fu, then at Rovi, and subconsciously hugged the ' Rovi doll' in her arms.

A strange feeling welled up in her heart...

A sense of crisis?

But in reality, Qin is the place Rovi wants to visit next, not only because he has already traveled through the Six States inside Hangu Pass, but also because he recently met with the descendants of the Zhou family. There are no more people outside the pass that he wants to see, and the only one left is Qin outside the pass. It is also because of a certain complex in his heart.

The Qin general marched eastward, showing a strong momentum to unify the world. However, Luo Rovi, a time traveler, knew clearly that Qin's unification of the world was not just a possibility, but an inevitable outcome.

The unification of the nine provinces began from this point.

"You... you want to conquer the Great Qin?" Xu Fu tilted his head, somewhat surprised, his lips slightly parted.

Rovi reached out his hand again.

Xu Fu suddenly removed his square hat, revealing a head of long, smooth, jet-black hair.

She looked over with a face full of trepidation yet eyes full of anticipation.

Rovi hesitated for a moment, then reached out his hand. In any case, he still had a pretty good impression of Xu Fu.

The child also deeply respected and loved himself as the 'Emperor'.

Although this respect and affection is somewhat overly fervent, no other signs have yet emerged.

Intentionally distancing yourself makes you more likely to make mistakes.

Therefore, Yu Ji's heart was filled with a sense of vigilance, and at that moment, a great alarm was raised!

"Wherever you stroke, I'll stroke!" The girl seemed quite happy as she felt the warmth of the hand stroking her head.

Rovi withdrew his hand, strands of hair flowing through his palm. "Yu Ji, what do you say?"

"Is that even a question? You want to get rid of me? Don't even think about it!" Yu Ji spat out a pair of sharp tiger teeth.

"Then let's go and see what Qin is all about!" Rovi waved his sleeve. "Let's see what kind of demeanor Qin King Zheng of Qin really has—"

"What do you intend to do? This is the Yan State, a long way from the State of Qin..."

"Um, I have a boat and a carriage..."

"Shut up, it's not your turn to talk!"

"Eh... I'm sorry!"

Yu Ji's attitude towards Xu Fu suddenly turned sour, but Xu Fu remained trembling with fear, which made Yu Ji suddenly wonder if this guy... was actually quite cunning?

"Have you all forgotten who I am?" Rovi Wei asked helplessly.

who is he?

Taiyi, the Water Official Great Emperor, who governs the water cycle of the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

"I entered Qin in the name of Taiyi and Donghua, how could I be riding in a human carriage?" Rovi flicked his sleeve and said, "Xu Fu, what preparations do you need to make?"

Xu Fu was puzzled. "Prepare?"

"That's right." Rovi nodded. "We'll be heading to Qin in the next two or three days."

"Huh? Are we leaving already?" Xu Fu was taken aback.

Yu Ji said, "If you don't want to slap, you don't have to."

She couldn't have gotten it.

"No, of course I'll fight! Wherever the Emperor fights, I'll fight!" Xu Fu hurriedly raised his hand.

"Since we're going to fight anyway, then let's fight together!"

"I... I'll just wait here," Xu Fu said softly.

Although Yu Ji was unhappy, she wouldn't force Xu Fu to leave out of respect for Rovi's.

Rovi nodded and said, "Then you should all take a rest first."

"Phew, I'll go back to sleep then. My head is still a little dizzy." Yu Ji shook her head and lay back down.

She was clutching the Rovi's doll tightly in her arms.

Xu Fu showed an envious expression, which further solidified his idea.

However, she didn't leave. Instead, she found a place to sit down, her back straight, her pretty face showing barely suppressed joy. "I... I'll be fine here."

To share a room with the Emperor was an absolute honor for her.

Rovi didn't stop him; he simply walked to the window of the inn and gazed out.

At this moment, night had already fallen over the Divine Land, darkness enveloping the world, with stars twinkling and shining brightly.

There was no wind or rain, but the weather was crystal clear.

However, it was only temporary.

Rovi closed his eyes slightly, his robes fluttering without wind, and his dark hair billowing.

An invisible force expanded outwards from him, causing clouds to gather in the sky, water vapor to condense in the air, and rivers, lakes, and seas to sway on the ground.

Water vapor circulates back and forth between the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

On the streets of Yan State, pedestrians were walking along when they suddenly stopped and looked up. "Why is it raining?"

"It's raining, hurry home!" Someone rushed forward.

Some people couldn't dodge in time and could only take shelter under the nearest eaves. "Strange, strange! Just a moment ago there was no wind or rain, how come it's suddenly raining so hard?!"

The rain poured down, the clear sky just a moment ago now submerged in moisture. Dark clouds filled the sky, obscuring the sun, moon, and stars. The falling raindrops formed columns of water that seemed to connect heaven and earth, their sound echoing across the ground and converging like rivers.

A torrential downpour began in an instant.

"Is this... the Yan State using his power?" Shang Shi asked, standing on a Huang Shigong bridge with his hands behind his back and head tilted back, letting the rain fall on his shoulders without getting a drop wet.

The Mohist Grandmaster and many other dark figures stood in the darkness, gazing intently, only to see that the vast expanse of water vapor followed the terrain and flowed in one direction.

That was later called the 'Yellow River', but now it is only called the ' Taiga '. It is one of the two great mother rivers of China. It flows from north to south into the Qi Land. It is the main channel of the Great Taiga. It rises in layers from east to west and flows back into the Wei River.

The Wei River is one of the largest Taiga in terms of runoff, flowing through vast and desolate lands, passing directly to the fertile Hangu Pass beyond Hangu Pass.

At the bottom of the Wei River, where countless chains encircled the deepest, darkest place, the Ancient Demon God Wuzhiqi, who appeared as a woman with long silver hair, Wuzhiqi opened her eyes.

She, who once controlled this section of the Wei River, now found herself surrounded by water, and even felt the thick mist of the water.

In Yanjing, Rovi opened his eyes. "I'll borrow the river for a bit."

Wuzhiqi was overjoyed. "I couldn't be happier! This way I can ask you for help even more often in the future!"

Thus, the river goddess stirred up a storm. Although she was sealed, the fact that she could send her clone out to act proved that the seal did not completely bind her.

Thus, from north to south and from west to east, the vast expanse of water vapor traversed the land, creating a continuous expanse of cities.

Rovi will use this as a boat, a lone sail, to enter the Qin Pass and Xianyang.

The sound of rain still echoed in the capital of Yan State. The Mohist Grandmaster suddenly awoke. When he looked at the rain before him again, what he saw still seemed not to be rain.

Instead...

Ten thousand cavalrymen and chariots are about to enter Qin!
