"Xie Yuan and I must be from the same world!"
"What she can do, I can do too!"
"It's just making glass and gunpowder, all the results of nine years of compulsory education."
“Helian Jue, look at this mirror, I made it myself.”
"What Xie Yuan can do, I can do too. I can even do it better than her."
"Chang'an? Haha, what a Chang'an! 'Hundreds of thousands of houses are like a game of Go, and twelve streets are like vegetable plots.'"
"My fellow townsman must be exceptionally good at history, he even copied the 108 wards of ancient Chang'an!"
"And cotton, did she also build a ship to go out to sea in search of superior varieties?"
“Helian Jue, really, I know all of this. Similar information is practically commonplace in our later generations.”
Li Xiaoxiao probably wanted to highlight her own value, so she rattled off a whole bunch of things.
As she spoke, her confidence as a time traveler suddenly increased, and for a moment she even overlooked the immense pressure emanating from Helian Jue.
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes fixed on Helian Jue.
Then, she froze—how could there be such a handsome man in the world?
No top idols or young heartthrobs can compare to him.
When I was studying, I saw the idiom "to kill Wei Jie with a look" and thought it was an exaggeration by the ancients.
No matter how beautiful or stunning a person is, they can't be stared at to death.
But when she saw Helian Jue, she realized: the ancestor was right after all.
Helian Jue was not only exceptionally handsome, but more importantly, he possessed an unparalleled noble air, a fatal sense of asceticism, and a unique charm.
Li Xiaoxiao was completely dumbfounded.
Helian Jue's hands were itchy, and the corners of his eyes were getting redder.
He could barely control his surging killing intent.
In fact, Helian Jue had already taken control.
Normally, if he were stared at like that by an ugly and stupid infatuated woman, he would have ordered her to be dragged away long ago.
But at this moment, his mind was in turmoil.
He has more important things to deal with.
With a thud, Helian Jue stood up and drew his sword.
Whoosh!
The sharp sword was drawn, flashing a cold light.
"pain!"
A sudden pain shot through her neck, and Li Xiaoxiao realized that while she was gazing at her stunningly handsome man, he had already appeared before her.
He even held a sword to her neck.
It hurts!
In addition, it felt like a warm liquid was being slid across my neck!
She's bleeding!
There must be blood!
This is my neck; I could easily cut my carotid artery if I'm not careful.
Even in later generations, a ruptured carotid artery might not be enough to save a person!
The pink bubbles in Li Xiaoxiao's eyes completely disappeared.
She finally realized that the man in front of her was not an idol she could fawn over at will, but an emperor who had the power of life and death over people!
"I don't like talking nonsense, nor do I want to hear any rubbish!"
"I will ask you a question, and you will answer it!"
"If your answer does not satisfy me—"
Helian Jue's eyes flashed with a mad and sinister light, and his whole being was like a thousand-year-old ice, exuding coldness from the inside out.
However, when he got to the later part, he didn't directly say anything harsh like "if you're not satisfied, then this or that will happen."
He pressed down hard on the sword hilt.
Then, Li Xiaoxiao felt a burning pain in her neck.
Another stream of liquid slid down quickly.
This time, the force was greater than before, and the wounds were deeper.
The first cut only broke the skin, but this time it cut into the flesh.
Li Xiaoxiao was in so much pain that tears were almost welling up in her eyes.
She no longer dared to be arrogant and willful just because she was a time traveler.
She realized how ridiculous she had been, actually calling Helian Jue by his given name!
Good heavens, this is ancient times.
In addition to the ten most brutal tortures, there were also extremely inhumane punishments such as the extermination of entire clans.
If you're not careful, you could really die.
She nodded frantically, "I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"
Helian Jue didn't care about Li Xiaoxiao's terrified look, nor did he actually mind Li Xiaoxiao's boldness just now.
Because none of these things matter.
He only cared about things related to Xie Yuan—
"You say you live in the future? What kind of future?"
Li Xiaoxiao quickly said, "It's the Celestial Empire, which is 1,500 years ago. In the Celestial Empire, there is no emperor and no imperial power."
"Everyone is equal, free and peaceful. There is no war, no famine. Oh no, in other corners there is still war and hunger, but in the Celestial Empire, it is a rare era of prosperity!"
"As long as you are willing to learn and work hard, you can have enough to eat and wear and live a good life!"
"If you also have a special skill, you can live a more comfortable life than the emperors of ancient times."
"Ancient times were absolutely terrible. There was no electricity, no cell phones, no airplanes, no high-speed trains, no food delivery or express delivery services—"
"There were no human rights in ancient times, sob sob, I want to go home! I never want to stay in this awful place again!"
Originally, Li Xiaoxiao only wanted to answer Helian Jue's question, but as she talked, she began to break down.
Time-travel novels are great, but time travel itself is really terrible.
Putting aside the disadvantages she listed, just the present moment, a sword was placed against his neck, and blood was flowing down his neck.
She could be killed at any moment, a situation unlikely to occur in later generations.
Here, there are no human rights, no equality, only an emperor who has the power of life and death over millions of people!
