Luo Yabai asked, "Did you find anything?"
The Princess Consort of Huainan of the Great Feng Dynasty was fluent in hundreds of languages and could recognize many ancient characters.
However, the ancient demon language she encountered today left her helpless and clueless.
"There has been no progress so far."
The renowned codebreaker Jiu Hulu from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons shook his head.
?????????????????????……
The broken stone tablet was covered with this ancient demon language that was completely incomprehensible. This ancient demon language had existed for at least a million years and could be traced back to the mythological era of the turmoil of the gods.
It is a very long history, a lost civilization, long since lost to time and unknown to anyone.
but.
That's what codebreakers do.
It is precisely because we do not understand it that we need to decipher it.
If you understand it, it's not called deciphering, it's called translating.
He leaned on his cane, his wine gourd gleaming.
He took the small gourd off his cane, took a sip of wine, and smacked his lips.
The Princess of Huainan glanced indifferently at the wine gourd in his hand before quickly looking away.
Seeing this, the wine gourd asked, "Would you like a couple of sips too?"
Princess Consort of Huainan shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, drinking can easily lead to mistakes, I never drink."
She offered a brief explanation without blushing or feeling flustered.
The wine gourd hung it back on his cane, smiled slightly, and poked the void with his cane, tearing the void apart.
He looked at the Left Chancellor and the Empress and said, "I'll be right back."
He stepped into the void, and the void rift slowly closed and disappeared.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the void was opened again.
Behind the wine gourd followed a large group of disciples, each holding an obscure and difficult-to-understand ancient book.
These were his assistants, helping him with his work.
They were exchanging ideas and looking through various materials, and suddenly the place became bustling with activity.
Completely different from the wine gourd was the Princess of Huainan, who had been sitting cross-legged in a corner of the central hall ever since she finished reading the inscription on the stone tablet.
She had instructed that no one should disturb her.
Wu Xiao thought she was in seclusion here cultivating.
She continuously formed complex hand seals, her body surface wrapped with golden runes, like a series of formula symbols intertwined.
Wu Xiao felt that she wasn't translating; she was matching text.
There's a feeling that the Princess of Huainan has a library hidden in her mind, and it automatically matches any text you input.
The best match can be found.
If not, then it's all over.
After looking at her for a moment, Wu Xiao shifted his gaze away from her.
The Left Prime Minister came to her side and whispered:
"Your Majesty, why don't you go back to your palace to rest? I'll take care of things here."
"fine."
"We don't know how long the decoding work here will last." The Left Prime Minister was afraid she would find it boring here, so he told her to go back and rest.
"It's nothing serious. I'll be fine going back anyway, so I might as well stay here and see you all." To be honest, her empress's palace was quite deserted, with nothing but maids.
Seeing that the Empress insisted, the Left Prime Minister waved his hand, pulled out two chairs, and led her to sit in a corner of the central hall.
Wu Xiao sat down with her legs crossed, gently shaking them as she looked at the busy crowd in the main hall.
"Your Majesty, stop shaking your leg," the Left Prime Minister said softly, sitting next to her.
"oh."
Wu Xiao put her legs down and put them together, sitting properly with her body slightly turned to the side, and said in a telepathic voice, "Someone is watching you."
"Who?" The Left Prime Minister asked warily, looking around.
"Don't speak, use your voice. Someone in the Chen hour direction is watching you."
"I see him. That guy named Luo Yabai, right? He shouldn't be looking at me; he should be looking at you." The Left Prime Minister communicated with the Empress telepathically.
Wu Xiao said, "I was looking at you."
The Left Prime Minister crossed his legs smugly and said, "Alright, I admit it, he was indeed looking at me. It seems that being pretty is not as good as being sexy."
There are two women here who are prettier than her: Wu Xiao and the Princess Consort of Huainan.
But when it comes to being seductive, she's got it figured out perfectly.
Just as she was feeling smug, she saw Wu Xiao pull out a dragon scale dagger. Her expression changed, and she said, "Empress, this little thing isn't worth stabbing me for."
"What are you thinking? Hurry up and go stab him."
"?" The Left Prime Minister looked at the Empress with some confusion.
"Have you forgotten what you said? You stab him once, and he'll stab you for life."
"Forehead."
The Left Prime Minister's face darkened. She was just talking nonsense, okay?
She herself had forgotten about it, but she was surprised that the Empress still remembered it, and she was speechless.
She told the Queen to put the dagger away.
Wu Xiao reluctantly put the dagger away.
Her little actions with the Left Prime Minister in the corner naturally caught the attention of the bored Luo Yabai. He looked up and his gaze met the Left Prime Minister's.
"Look, he is indeed looking at you," Wu Xiao hurriedly transmitted to her.
“As expected.” The Left Prime Minister was very pleased with himself. “According to the ironclad rule of eye contact between men and women, as long as you make eye contact without looking away for more than three times, it means he likes you.”
Wu Xiao secretly remembered this sentence, having learned something new.
...
The center of the main hall.
Luo Yabai was lost in thought, trying to decipher the inscription on the broken stone tablet. He was looking dazed when, just as he came to his senses, his gaze shifted upwards and met Zuo's.
'She's acting so strange, why is she staring at me like that? I don't owe her any money, do I?'
...
Wu Xiao tilted his head and then transmitted his voice to the Left Prime Minister: "Look, he's still staring at you like an idiot."
The Left Prime Minister was even more pleased with himself, and he also transmitted his voice: "I think he's considering whose surname the child should take and what name to give him?"
Wu Xiao said, "He's coming towards you."
"Oh no, is he going to confess his feelings to me? Should I reject him?"
The Left Prime Minister was a little nervous. If she didn't refuse, she was afraid it would affect his job. But refusing could easily hurt others. It was so annoying.
She was lost in thought.
Luo Yabai had already arrived in front of the Left Prime Minister.
The Left Prime Minister stood up in alarm.
Luo Yabai glanced at the Empress beside him, then looked away two seconds later.
Then he looked at the Left Prime Minister and said, "Left Prime Minister, my tortoise shell has cracked. Could you please find me a new one? I would like to perform another divination."
"No."
That's it.
As she stood up, the Left Prime Minister suddenly felt as if a bucket of cold water had been splashed on her face, making her shiver.
She sat down expressionlessly, the chair creaking loudly.
How embarrassing!
I was just imagining all sorts of things, but it turns out it was just my imagination. What a load of rubbish about the three-second eye contact rule. She'll definitely beat up the storyteller in the teahouse.
Luo Yabai was somewhat bewildered; why was the Left Prime Minister suddenly being so harsh with him?
The Empress lived in Bengbu next door.
We just had so much going on in our minds, and then...
Is this supposed to make her laugh to death?
She stared at the two of them with a look of schadenfreude, her face full of gossip and morbid curiosity.
