Chapter 143
This cast an endless shadow over the First Emperor's childhood, making him extremely anxious and insecure.
When he escaped from the Zhao State, he was fortunate enough to meet the Master, which finally gave him a precious sense of security.
"Um, what are you talking about?"
Wei Gong feigned confusion and asked.
We must be careful not to fall for their tricks!
"Sir, do you still need to pretend in front of me?"
The First Emperor stared intently at him.
It had no imposing presence, yet Wei Gong felt as if he were being watched by countless people, by billions of living beings.
Its power is in no way inferior to that of a deity, but it carries a stronger sense of Human Order.
This is the emperor who commands two billion people in the Dragon Kingdom and stands at the pinnacle of the entire world!
Faced with this familiar scene.
Wei Gong simply dropped the pretense and said with utter helplessness, "Um, you found me through [Platinum Dragon]?"
I shouldn't have used the ability they gave me in the first place!
As expected, a problem arose!
"Yes, since you know perfectly well that this wasn't a deliberate invitation for me to see you?"
The First Emperor looked at the young man before him.
In a daze, it felt as if I had traveled back more than 2,200 years.
Back then, did the gentleman also see his own immaturity in the same way?
Will I grow up to be like you?
"I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Wei Gong immediately denied it three times in a row.
If he hadn't exhausted his magic power while slaying the Hundred-Faced Hassan and hadn't been confronted by Tamamo no Mae, how could he have possibly used the [Platinum Dragon] trap?
That damn vixen, I'm going to ruin you someday!
"Sir, are you surprised to see me?"
The First Emperor was all smiles.
The summoned figure at the investiture ceremony in Xianyang was merely an unknown being from the past.
But now, I have finally met the truly nameless one!
"What a pleasant surprise..."
Wei Gong felt increasingly helpless.
You almost scared me to death! And you're still happy about it?!
The First Emperor has come knocking on my door! Isn't this a death sentence?
"Sir, what were you fighting? Why are you in such a miserable state?"
The First Emperor frowned as he looked at the other person.
The nameless man who was once so powerful in front of him is now broken and shattered, like a rag doll that has been forcibly pieced together.
What exactly happened?
The Nameless Heroic Spirit who walked through Human History and saved countless lives are like stray dogs, silently hiding in a corner, barely surviving!
"A tiny bit too much..."
Wei Gong did not want to bring up the previous battle.
There were too many, so many that he himself couldn't remember them all.
Oh, by the way, one of those battles was related to you!
King of the Lostbelt?
Damn, that's really amazing, it's insanely strong!
"My lord, come with me. Let me restore all the glory to you, and let everyone thank you for your silent protection!"
The First Emperor smiled and extended his hand in invitation, saying, "If anyone dares to look down on you, I will exterminate their entire family!"
"If any country dares to look down on you, I will annihilate its entire nation!"
"As a true hero who protects humanity, this is the highest honor you deserve!"
His voice was not loud, and his tone was not strong.
Yet it was filled with an absolute confidence that it could be done.
Yes, this is the First Emperor.
Words spoken are golden, and truth comes true!
He really can do it!
Snowflakes drifted down and landed on the two of them.
It landed on the other person's outstretched, slender, fair palm.
"I'm sorry, I'm tired."
Wei Gong shook his head and did not reach out to shake hands with him.
He served Justice Partner for countless years, a savior for countless years, and Nameless Heroic Spirit for countless years.
If we list his titles--
Uruk's oldest King of Heroes's Dear Friend;
The Nameless Knight of King Arthur of Britain;
The Red Phantom of the Royal Knights of France;
The teacher of the First Emperor in the Dragon Kingdom;
A hero favored by the Olympian Gods;
Just listing these titles alone would be enough to fill several A4 pages, easily producing several thousand words.
Countless battles, countless brushes with death, countless desperate struggles—all of this had drained him of his passion.
He was too tired.
It's time to rest.
"Sir, you have refused to be with me once again!" The First Emperor sighed and withdrew his hand.
Back then, when fighting against the gods of Heavenly Court, the other side also chose to fight alone.
He could only watch helplessly as the other party vanished into thin air!
Now, the other party has once again refused his offer.
The First Emperor stared at him. "Sir, is it because something unexpected happened after I became immortal that you no longer wish to stay with me?"
"Cough cough, nothing of the sort!"
Wei Gong's righteous and stern reply.
"I understand. It seems you have indeed done something to offend me." The First Emperor nodded.
"... You're overthinking it!"
Wei Gong felt that once the video was exposed, the other party probably wouldn't be able to treat him so well anymore.
He quickly added, "I'm just really exhausted. I just want to enjoy a peaceful daily life. Fame and glory mean absolutely nothing to me!"
The subtext is--
Please don't come looking for me, just let me be a normal high school student!
"Alright, I agree."
The First Emperor gazed at the children having a snowball fight in the distance and sighed softly, "I originally intended to give the entire Fusang State to you as a fief, but it seems I'll have to give up on that idea."
???
Wei Gong stared blankly at the other person.
Goodness, that's an incredibly extravagant gesture.
Giving him this as a fiefdom means he can enjoy the entire tax revenue of Fusang State, equivalent to a terrifying income of trillions of yen per year!
He rejected me with just one sentence?
Damn it, I mustn't be tempted! I'm a man who's going to be Lie Flat King!
Wei Gong felt as if his heart was bleeding profusely.
He just casually threw away such a large sum of money.
But when he saw the smile on the other person's face, he realized he had been tricked.
My dear Zheng'er, how did you go astray?
"Then, see you next time." The First Emperor smiled and bowed in farewell.
It's only Lunar New Year's Eve.
I'll formally wish you a Happy New Year tomorrow.
"Goodbye."
Wei Gong smiled and waved goodbye, silently adding to himself—
"Don't ever come back!"
Golden Flash is just being a kind and helpful citizen of Fuyuki City, fine, but why did you have to pull this surprise attack?
After returning home.
Wei Gong lay wearily on the sofa.
A simple conversation made him feel as if he had fought a major battle.
I'm so tired.
One wrong move and you'll be taken away by the First Emperor, forced to work overtime like Zhuge Liang!
Fortunately, they left immediately; hopefully, they'll never come back.
Such extreme fluctuations in his heart rate will inevitably shorten his lifespan sooner or later.
And if he dies, he'll definitely be dragged back by Alaya to continue working as 007!
At this moment.
In the warm room, a girl wearing only pajamas suddenly ran over and sat on his lap.
"Wei Gong, I feel a little hot."
Luo Ya's eyes were glazed over, her voice was full of coquettish charm, and her breathing became extremely disordered.
"Uh, what's wrong?"
Wei Gong was holding the other person, and his hand inadvertently landed on the other person's thigh.
It feels soft and bouncy like jelly when you touch it; the texture is amazing.
The other person wrapped their slender arms around his neck and leaned in close.
Her eyes were filled with a dreamy look. "You look so handsome today!"
Wei Gong patted her little bottom and gave her a stern warning. "You're forbidden from touching that Fox Scarf from now on!"
The child's unusual behavior was clearly due to the lingering allure of the fox's tail.
I'm speechless. You're supposed to be a big shot, how could you be affected by the mere allure of a vixen?
