Qing Xiao Jade Maiden

"Excuse me, I can."

Verdant Green Maiden shook her head and said to Ying Zhu.

Ying Zhu was not affected by Verdant Green Maiden's answer. He asked, "Does Master have the heart to watch the descendants of this child Zheng die by your hand? I heard from Zichu that Master was here before Zheng was born. You even gave him his name and taught him knowledge!"

"Master must like Zheng!"

Verdant Green Maiden propped up her chin and watched Ying Zhu from the rockery.

To be fair, although this King Xiaowen had a low presence in history, he was worthy of the title King of Qin!

This old man was quite eloquent.

Indeed, Ying Zheng was the first person she had watched grow up from birth. She had hibernated because of the Yellow Emperor and the You Xiong Tribe, and she no longer hibernated because of Ying Zheng.

Seeing a subtle change in Verdant Green Maiden's expression, Ying Zhu immediately cupped his hands towards her and pleaded, "I, ask Master to assist Zheng!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Imperial Garden fell into silence.

"Great King, she..."

The people of the Yin Yang School's expressions changed.

Since Ying Zhu wanted Verdant Green Maiden to assist, why did he still need them in the Imperial Garden?

Were they merely a gift from Ying Zhu to express his intentions to Verdant Green Maiden?

The people of the Yin Yang School realized something and immediately wanted to leave, but on the outer perimeter, Ying Zhu had already arranged for people, and they blocked the Yin Yang School members.

In reality, Ying Zhu knew that the people of the Yin Yang School were all useless. Their claims of achieving cultivation and being able to communicate with Ghosts and Spirits were all false!

If the Yin Yang School could truly communicate with Ghosts and Spirits, then why were the Former Kings not seen alive?

Why were the ancient sages of the Yin Yang School not seen alive?

The Yin Yang School, which claimed to have achieved cultivation, would die, but Verdant Green Maiden was a tangible existence!

She had truly lived for thousands of years!

Ying Zhu could distinguish between the Yin Yang School and Verdant Green Maiden in terms of importance!

As for the possibility of Verdant Green Maiden taking the Heart's Blood of the last Qin ruler, although Ying Zhu had heard about it from Ying Ji, he didn't care much about it!

Since the Xia Shang Zhou dynasties, countless fang states had risen and fallen!

He understood that there was no nation that would not perish.

Rather than considering whether the last Qin ruler, who would appear in an unknown number of years, would be killed by Verdant Green Maiden, Ying Zhu preferred to focus on the present. If he could gain Verdant Green Maiden's assistance, wouldn't the Great Qin's eastward expansion and Whale Swallow of the world be just around the corner?

His body, he knew. He didn't have much time to think about the distant future.

Verdant Green Maiden, however, looked at Ying Zhu with interest and asked, "Are you planning to let Ying Zheng be the King of Qin?"

Ying Zhu nodded, then raised his hand to gesture to Verdant Green Maiden about these people from the Yin Yang School, saying, "That's right! The moment I saw that child, I decided! And these people, they are the Gift I am giving to the Master!"

"Whether to kill or release them, it is entirely up to the Master!"

Verdant Green Maiden leaned on the rockery, her body tilting forward, and asked, "What if I kill them for you, and then you don't agree to my request?"

"I said, they are a gift!"

Ying Zhu's expression remained unchanged as he said firmly, "Since they are a gift, I seek no reward. I will respect whatever the Master decides! I will not interfere."

Such words struck Verdant Green Maiden's heart fiercely!

Tsk tsk tsk...

With a Monarch like this, it was destined for Great Qin to Unify Under Heaven!

Seeing Verdant Green Maiden's expression gradually change, Hong Luan quietly asked, "Are you really going to agree to him?"

Verdant Green Maiden heard this, looked up at the sky, and said, "Bao Si, Pang Juan, Sun Bin, and Zhao Kuo... I couldn't change any of them! Let's give it a try. What if, this time, I can change things?"

Human nature is such that it always craves that sliver of hope.

Snakes are no exception.

Ultimately, what she wanted was the vital essence of a final Monarch. The more prosperous the dynasty, the stronger the Monarch's vital essence and Auspicious Fortune would be. Waiting a few more centuries, she could afford to wait!

Verdant Green Maiden stood up, stepping on the protruding rocks of the rockery, looking down at Ying Zhu below. Her red lips parted slightly, "Ying Zhu! Remember your words. The future King of Great Qin is Ying Zheng! Now, kill them for me! Leave none alive."

The Tian Yuan Palace had been established for over six hundred years. Even after changing its appearance to become the Yin Yang School, its nature of coveting snakes had not changed!

Since that was the case, she had no reason to keep these fellows around.

Kill them all first!

Ying Zhu laughed. With a wave of his large hand, the Qin Army Soldiers guarding the four sides pounced like wolves, capturing the people from the Yin Yang School!

They took out various artifacts and wanted to perform rituals, but how could the Qin Army, like tigers and wolves, be resisted by them?

The people of the Yin Yang School, after gaining power in Qin for only a few years, lost their influence once again.

Under the Qin Army's widespread hunt, the Yin Yang School's legacy was almost eradicated within the Qin territory. The remaining Yin Yang School inheritors had no choice but to leave Hangu Pass and travel far to the Six States of Shandong, seeking protection from various states to preserve the Yin Yang School's heritage.

One month later, Ying Zhu issued an order, bestowing the title of Royal Grandson upon Ying Zheng.

Once Ying Zichu ascended the throne, he would become the Crown Prince!

Originally, Ying Zhu intended to grant Qing Nu a noble title and establish an official post for her within the Great Qin Imperial Court, but Qing Nu refused all these offers one by one.

Qing Nu had no interest in becoming an official or receiving a noble title; she only wanted meat.

Ying Zhu then commissioned the construction of the Qing Xiao Jade Maiden Temple in Xianyang, dedicated to Qing Nu, and ordered the Ten Thousand People of Xianyang to offer sacrifices frequently.

All the Sacrificial Meat and Food Grains used in the sacrifices belonged to Qing Nu!

Gradually, Bamboo Slips recording the Qing Nu Myths began to circulate. In them, the Qing Xiao Jade Maiden was described as the Frost Snow Goddess, a Sky God who controlled the descent of frost and the distribution of snow. Qing Nu knew immediately that these were the works of Ying Zheng.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Frost Snow Goddess, huh."

Hong Luan looked at the boasting about Qing Nu in the Bamboo Slip and teased, "You're not ashamed, but I am on your behalf! Stupid Snake, do you really have the ability to be a Sky God?"

At that moment, Ice Crystals and Snowflakes began to fall from the sky, drifting like willow catkins.

Qing Nu raised her palm, catching a Snowflake on her fingertip. The Snowflake rested steadily on her fingertip, not melting.

She leaned closer to examine it carefully and retorted, "Why can't I be a Sky God?"

"Then if you become a Sky God, will you abandon me?"

Hong Luan tilted her head and asked.

Upon hearing this, Qing Nu chuckled, grabbed Hong Luan, and said, "Bird Sister, what's between us? Don't worry, if I become a Sky God, you can eat as much ice and snow as you want in this world, and absolutely no one will compete with you for it."

Hong Luan cursed angrily, "Stupid Snake, go die!"

Despite being cursed, Qing Nu remained carefree and asked, "What if I really die?"

"You're not allowed to!"

Hong Luan cried out in alarm.

Qing Nu, startled, quickly rubbed Hong Luan's head to comfort her, saying, "Okay, okay, I won't die..."

However, while she wouldn't die, someone else was about to.

On the seventh day of the First Snow, Ying Zhu fell gravely ill.

His health was already poor, and it worsened over the past year of mourning. He finally collapsed three days after officially ascending the throne as King.

The Qin Palace and its surroundings were thrown into chaos.

The King's Command, urgently summoned Qing Nu, Ying Zheng, and their party into the palace.

On his deathbed, Ying Zhu no longer wanted even Lady Huayang by his side, waiting anxiously for Qing Nu and her party to arrive.

At the bedside, he raised his hand, then raised it again, gripping Qing Nu's sleeve, then grabbing Ying Zheng's hand. Suddenly, he seemed to regain his spirit, as if experiencing a final surge of energy before death. Staring wide-eyed at Qing Nu, he murmured, "Master... Master, protect my Great Qin!"

"King Grandfather!"

Ying Zheng cried out.

Ying Zhu did not expect an answer from Qing Nu. He then said to Ying Zichu, "Sons of Great Qin, do not forget the Eastern Expedition!"

Ying Zichu knelt before the bed and kowtowed, "Zichu remembers!"

In the first year of King Xiaowen of Qin, on the Xinchou day of the tenth month, the King passed away.

Do I really have to spell it out for you!

The Qin court, in an official capacity, established the Qing Xiao Jade Maiden Temple, signifying that Qing Nu was now tied to Qin's Auspicious Fortune!

The previous three generations had never done this, and Qing Nu didn't know it either!

This is why Qing Nu would gradually come to protect Qin later on!
