After making up her mind, Nüba put the matter aside, since she already knew how to get off the sinking ship of Chu.
They were just waiting for Wang Jian to attack the capital of Chu, so that Nüba and the Moon Goddess could put on a grand show.
Ling Xiao still felt wronged. The King of Chu and the State of Chu were such trash, they had wasted so much of her energy. If they hadn't taken advantage of her before leaving, she would have felt kind.
The one who's really at fault isn't me, but Tianxia Na'er.
Before the fall of the Chu Kingdom, Ling Xiao was so bored that he would harass Xiang Ji every day, doing whatever came to mind.
In the middle of the night, he leaned close to Xiang Ji's ear and breathed, "How can you sleep at your age...?" which startled him so much that he couldn't fall asleep at all.
There were also those who ignored the times and taught Xiang Ji advanced mathematics, calling it "the ultimate truth of heaven and earth," while Xiang Ji suffered greatly.
They will also be ridiculed at will.
The young Xiang Ji found himself in dire straits, and every time he was about to quit, his parents and relatives would nag and persuade him to give up.
The State of Chu was on the verge of collapse, and Nüba was its only remaining hope.
—Even if the flame is weak, it may still occasionally burn one's own people.
It is common knowledge that Nüba "favors" Xiang Ji, and his identity as the emperor's calamity has been amplified by various parties, causing a great uproar.
On this day, Ying Zheng invited the Moon Goddess to admire the flowers together.
Indeed, the Qin King's palace was lush with flowers of all colors, blooming vibrantly and beautifully. The Moon Goddess walked among them, her celestial beauty resembling that of the goddess of flowers, defying description.
With his hands behind his back, Ying Zheng chatted about the Qin-Chu battlefield, mentioning that Wang Jian was pressing forward relentlessly, and that Chu was already in Qin's grasp.
Suddenly, the tone shifted, "Moon Goddess, could you tell me if that Xiang family brat from Chu is truly destined to be the calamity of the Human Emperor?"
Ling Xiao was thinking of having the system, Jade Rabbit, pluck flowers for her to make Hundred Flower Cake.
Hearing this, I perked up and said, "Come on, let me start making this up:"
"I have long said that it is extremely difficult for a human emperor to be born, not to mention that now that the world has changed and the boundary between humans and gods has increased, the position of human emperor is as if it no longer exists."
King Qin, your rise to power has already greatly exceeded the expectations of some immortals and gods; otherwise, the Yellow Emperor would not have valued you so highly. Therefore, Xiang Yu is indeed one of the calamities of the human emperor, and his fate is extremely ominous, being the White Tiger Breaking Army.
Seeing Ying Zheng listening intently with a solemn expression, the Moon Goddess turned her head to look directly at him and smiled:
"The White Tiger and the Broken Army are extremely murderous, making it a first-rate destiny. Presumably, it was this that Nüba valued that made her treat Xiang Ji differently."
Ying Zheng lowered his brows and nodded, indicating that he understood, and said calmly:
"In that case, once the State of Chu is breached by the Qin cavalry, I will see what this so-called 'White Tiger Breaking Army' destiny looks like."
"Oh, it seems the Human Emperor isn't afraid at all," the Moon Goddess chuckled in surprise.
"I am now the ruler of Great Qin, commanding a million troops and holding most of the land in my hands. If I were to fear a mere child, I might as well not even bother vying for the throne."
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing his domineering presence as he spoke, which Ling Xiao appreciated.
In her view, if the historical Qin Shi Huang had not had such courage and had been timid and hesitant about the theory of destiny, she would have looked down on him.
"Moreover, Baihu Pojun is extremely bloodthirsty, and I would like to try to recruit him into my ranks and make him a great general."
Ying Zheng made no attempt to hide his intentions; he not only wanted to see Xiang Ji, but also wanted him to serve him—what arrogance!
The calamity bestowed upon the human emperor by heaven and earth, he deliberately chose to reverse.
This suited Ling Xiao's wishes, and Ying Zheng saw that after he finished speaking, the Moon Goddess did not just smile faintly, but her eyes and brows were full of smiles.
However, he said something that sounded like he didn't want to do it: "I'd like to trouble Your Majesty to pluck a flower for me."
Ying Zheng was taken aback, his mind racing. Flowers had been associated with love since ancient times, as reflected in many poems in the Book of Songs. Now that the Moon Goddess wanted him to pluck a flower, it was hard not to wonder what was going on.
If the Moon Goddess truly had feelings for him, would Ying Zheng accept her?
Hehe, no need to even think about it. If one could fall in love with a god, one might be able to live forever. Ying Zheng wouldn't hesitate for a second.
Without much thought, Ying Zheng plucked a trumpet creeper flower, thinking that the trumpet creeper symbolized nobility and upward striving, which matched the moon goddess. He could also subtly express his feelings by plucking the trumpet creeper.
"Host, it's actually a trumpet vine!"
The light sphere system, hidden in mid-air, spoke softly.
He remained vigilant, knowing that he had seen too many of those under the God's command die each year because of love, being trapped in mission worlds, or rebelling against the God.
Having finally obtained a host as capable as Ling Xiao, he didn't want to lose him so easily.
Ling Xiao took the trumpet creeper, gently turned the stem, and her smile deepened.
Although it was a coincidence, it was still quite amusing. Compared to the foolish King Chu and the Crown Prince of Yan, Ling Xiao had to marvel at the diversity of species.
Seeing that the Moon Goddess only smiled and remained silent after accepting the flower, Ying Zheng, who rarely felt uneasy since assuming power, heard her say:
"Heaven has its own destiny, and I must abide by it. The Human Emperor plucked a trumpet creeper flower; this flower has five petals, which is the preordained fate."
The Moon Goddess looked at Ying Zheng with a smile:
"The Human Emperor faces one tribulation after another. Although Xiang Ji is fierce, he is not the most powerful. I can tell you who corresponds to each of the five tribulations."
Upon hearing this, the system hovered above Ying Zheng's head and, taking advantage of his inability to see or hear, began to laugh wildly.
Ying Zheng was completely oblivious to the arrogant system. Although he was somewhat disappointed by Yue Shen's lack of affection, his eyes grew brighter and brighter as he heard her next words, and his heart was filled with emotion.
Knowing how helpful the Moon Goddess's actions would be, Ying Zheng solemnly bowed and expressed his gratitude.
The Moon Goddess plucked a petal with her slender fingers. "The first one is a remnant of the Korean rebellion, possessing extraordinary talent, named Zhang Liang."
South Korea? Another name popped into Ying Zheng's mind.
Han Fei.
That was also a regret in his heart. Han Fei was a man of great talent, and his work "Five Bags" had impressed him greatly.
Unfortunately, Han Fei was attached to his homeland and refused to go to Qin.
Ying Zheng noted down Zhang Liang's name. Since the Moon Goddess said that he had extraordinary talent, letting him go would surely be a disaster for the Qin Dynasty.
However, since the surname is Zhang, he remembered that the Sang clan of Korea had the surname Zhang, so this person should be from that clan. He could start looking for him from there.
The Moon Goddess plucked another petal from the trumpet creeper, casually walked forward, and said:
"Han Xin, a born general, is worth ten thousand soldiers."
The third petal:
"Xiao He possesses the talent to assist in governing the country; he could rule the world..."
The fourth petal fell:
"Although Lü Zhi is a woman with the destiny of a phoenix, she was reborn from the ashes. Her temperament and methods are those of an emperor."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng was surprised. It wasn't that he looked down on women; the Qin state had a tradition of empress dowagers participating in politics throughout history, and apart from a certain empress dowager Zhao, they had all done a good job.
But this Lü Zhi was actually praised as having the talent of a moon goddess emperor, which is too extraordinary.
Ling Xiao: If Liu Bang had successfully pushed Liu Ying off the carriage and killed him, Empress Lü might not have been just the Empress Dowager; the first female emperor would have been born a thousand years earlier.
The last petal of the trumpet creeper was about to be torn off when the moon goddess turned to the side, and the bright sunlight shone on her, spreading out in circles of golden spots.
"The person corresponding to the final tribulation will be the greatest tribulation for the Human Emperor."
