As Luo Xiaobai spoke eloquently, Qin Shi Huang's mind jolted. His gradually sinking will eased, and his eyes even brightened slightly.
The majesty that had originally vanished suddenly surged once more.
All at once, he burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha..."
His loud, deep laughter seemed to make the entire hall tremble faintly.
There was regret in his laughter over being unable to live forever, but even more than that, there was relief—the feeling of a heavy burden being lifted.
"Are thy words true?"
Before Luo Xiaobai could answer whether they were true or not, Qin Shi Huang had already gleaned the answer from his expression.
He murmured dazedly, "Then all is well, all is well!"
Seeing that Ying Zheng's will was no longer dispirited and that he had regained his former majesty, Luo Xiaobai pressed on. "And not only that—many people like you, too."
"In modern times, many people want to meet you, but they can't. Do you know how many people like you?"
"Oh?" Ying Zheng's eyes filled with surprise as he looked at him in astonishment.
His interest was piqued, and he quietly watched Luo Xiaobai, waiting for his answer.
Seeing Qin Shi Huang regain his confidence, Luo Xiaobai was delighted. His face flushed slightly with excitement.
The more he spoke, the more excited he became, until he blurted out without thinking, "In later generations, people all across Huaxia worship you—people who like you are everywhere!"
"Some people like you so much, they'd even be willing to have monkeys for you!"
Ying Zheng looked puzzled.
"Tsk, tsk, you have no idea..." Luo Xiaobai grew more animated as he spoke, his face full of emotion.
However, while he was getting carried away, the netizens were dumbfounded.
"Holy shit, has this guy gone insane? He even brought up monkeys?
