After secretly using the prop, Ling Xiao thought for a moment and then casually bought another prop: Return to Youth.
As the name suggests, it can restore youth within a year of use. The downside is that it will definitely become ineffective after a year and you will have to buy it again. The first time you buy it, the price is very cheap, but the price will increase many times over after that.
This is similar to the strategy used by some games where you get a limited-edition skin for your first purchase of six yuan.
However, if you were to return to your youth and happen to be eternally youthful... wouldn't it be possible to freeze your youthful state indefinitely?
"Wow, amazing!" He was stunned, but he didn't forget to write down the whole process.
He murmured:
"Host, we're about to strike it rich again! If this bug is proven to exist, we'll sell it to those task creators who work on palace intrigue and strategy games, and make a fortune."
"Oh, what if the main god discovers that we've exploited a loophole?"
He gave a sly smile. "So after we sold it, we reported it!"
Ling Xiao was taken aback, then felt very gratified, thinking that his system had finally been trained and that resources would be maximized.
"Sweetie, go find some suckers... no, customers, I'll clean up the mess."
Regaining her composure, Ling Xiao maintained her aloof and dignified demeanor as the Moon Goddess, while silently counting down the seconds in her mind.
...Eight, nine, ten!
The rejuvenation treatment has taken effect.
One of the ministers gasped and exclaimed in surprise:
"Oh my god, reverse aging..."
Ying Zheng felt his skin become firm again. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the lines on his hands were disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his skin had become fair and firm. He assumed that the same was true for other parts of his body.
Suddenly, he felt something strange in his mouth. He bent over and spat out many white teeth. His tongue touched his gums, and new teeth were growing rapidly.
Not only that, but other subtle changes also occurred, such as a shinier nail bed and a darker, more lustrous hair.
The ministers stared wide-eyed. One of the older ministers, looking at that face, felt as if he had been transported back to the time before the king assumed power. But it seemed that the king had never been so...exquisite before?
The Moon Goddess watched this scene with a smile, as if she had expected it, and said to Ying Zheng:
"I thought this immortal plant's fruit was no more than a thousand years old, but I didn't expect the Yellow Emperor to be so magnanimous; it must have medicinal properties that have lasted for ten thousand years."
Then, the Jade Rabbit said sourly:
"This kind of ancient immortal fruit is rare even for immortals. If it were refined into pills, it could yield at least ten high-quality pills."
Ying Zheng felt even more relaxed, feeling as energetic as an eighteen-year-old, and repeatedly expressed his gratitude to the Moon Goddess.
He had not yet achieved immortality, but he had already attained eternal youth. How could this not make Ying Zheng overjoyed?
"Hmph, Chang Xi, if you're going to seal me, hurry up and stop dawdling."
The demon Nüba is back online, ready to lash out at people. Since she can't stand up, she sits half-reclined, still arrogantly raising her voice.
This time, all the ministers glared at her angrily.
Wang Ben had an idea: to imitate Li Si and curse Nüba. But just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt a chill and silently backed down.
He thought to himself, "I won't stoop to the level of a god."
The Moon Goddess remained unperturbed, smiling gently as she shook her head and said:
"Besides sparing your life, the Yellow Emperor entrusted me with another matter: to ensure a win-win situation for both you and the Human Emperor."
"What did you say"
The others didn't understand what the Moon Goddess was saying, but Nüba's expression suddenly changed. She frowned and shouted, struggling to get up again.
Ying Zheng, who was mentioned, also glanced at Nüba with disdain. Just as he was about to speak, the situation on the field suddenly changed.
"Nüba—the Yellow Emperor did indeed wrong you back then, but your resentment is the biggest obstacle preventing you from regaining your divine body."
"Therefore, the Human Emperor has reappeared. The Yellow Emperor hopes that you can share in the dynasty's fortune, remove the resentment and poison from your body, and ascend to the heavens again!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the white-clad moon goddess lightly touched her hand, and moonlight, seemingly accumulated over millennia, shone upon Nüba. Sensing threat, Nüba angrily shouted:
"I don't……"
Before she finished speaking, starting from the hem of her skirt and the ends of her hair, it gradually turned into jade, eventually forming a crystal-clear jade statue.
—The All-Star System is having a huge sale! Portraits of all materials are only 12% off. Don't miss out!
The demon Nüba was completely transformed into a jade statue, so lifelike that, if it weren't for the transparency and color of the jade, one would almost think it was a living person.
The angry eyes, the open lips and teeth—every detail was so lifelike that, after looking at it for a while, it evoked a chilling sense of dread.
"Your Majesty, please look!"
The Moon Goddess turned her indifferent gaze to Ying Zheng.
He walked up to the jade statue, reached out and touched it. In a flash, everyone's eyes saw that the jade statue, which was originally in a reclining position, had now turned into a standing position.
After playing this riddle for so long, the moon goddess finally began to explain:
"The Yellow Emperor wanted to remove Nüba's evil spirit body and return her to the righteous path, so he thought of borrowing the fortune of the Human Emperor."
What I just did was to transform Nüba into the goddess of protection for the Qin Dynasty. Whether she likes it or not, she will protect the Qin Dynasty, thereby gaining the fortune of the Human Emperor.”
Finally, the Moon Goddess's serene gaze fell upon Ying Zheng's face, as if observing something, and she said:
"Execute first, report later; Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Ying Zheng: ...You said you acted first and reported later, how could I dare to blame you?
Ling Xiao's purpose in orchestrating this was to link Nüba's fame with the Qin Dynasty. A thousand years later, regardless of whether the Qin Dynasty still exists, as the first empire, its imprint will be deeply etched in the hearts of the Chinese people.
—Then Nüba can gain fame by associating with it.
Even now, Nüba's story has a plot and grand scenes.
With the addition of prominent figures from all over Qin, it's truly become a viral sensation.
Ying Zheng, of course, had no idea what Ling Xiao was planning. He paused for a moment, then became serious:
"Nüba is the daughter of the Yellow Emperor, a noble goddess..." he flattered his former enemy without changing his expression, then continued:
"We and the Qin Dynasty are more than grateful for your protection; how could we possibly blame you?"
The Moon Goddess nodded in satisfaction.
Seeing this, Li Si finally felt relieved. He was really afraid that the king would be too angry and directly reject the Moon Goddess. Fear flashed in Li Si's eyes.
In his eyes, this moon goddess appeared calm on the surface, but was actually too dangerous. Li Si did not want to, nor dared to, let the king offend her.
Coincidentally, Zhang Liang in the crowd was extremely disappointed. If the King of Qin were to lose his mind and confront the Moon Goddess, it might be a great disaster for the Qin Dynasty.
The moon goddess's clear, cold voice rang out:
"The Emperor need not worry about matters of destiny. Nüba and the Great Qin complement each other. Not only will she not harm destiny, but she will also enhance the Great Qin's foundation. Even if the weather is not perfect, there will be no major disasters for at least the next hundred years."
Ling Xiao remembered that after the Han Dynasty was established, the people were able to recuperate and there were no natural disasters.
Ying Zheng listened attentively, not missing a single word.
He lowered his head and thought to himself, "Nüba has been defeated. The State of Chu is now in the hands of Qin. Unifying the world is just around the corner."
If immortality is not possible, then the process of cultivating a successor must begin, especially given the possibility of the Moon Goddess dying in her second life.
Ying Zheng guaranteed that even if Fusu did not succeed to the throne, none of his sons, no, none of the third sons or any of the others, would ever inherit his position.
