To the King of Qin's delight, the Moon Goddess finally agreed to move into the Qin Palace.
"Any palace in this Xianyang Palace may be occupied by the Moon Goddess, as long as she is pleased," Ying Zheng said, waving his sleeve and pointing to the brightly lit Xianyang Palace.
The palace path was narrow and dark in the night, with the moon goddess shrouded in a layer of light. As one walked, it felt as if one was about to fly away, exuding an ethereal aura.
"I appreciate the Emperor's kindness, but there's no need for such formality; I have my own place to stay."
The Moon Goddess replied somewhat uninterestedly, then pulled out the jade hairpin from her hair and casually made a cut, creating a crack in the palace wall!
Looking inside, one sees countless exotic flowers and birds, and the bright spring light leaks out through the gaps.
The Moon Goddess casually tossed a jade talisman, which landed precisely in Ying Zheng's hand. She then uttered a single sentence and vanished.
"This is a jade talisman used by the Human Emperor to suppress demons. Do not disturb me unless necessary."
King Zheng of Qin and the Moon Goddess completely disappeared. He stepped forward and reached out to touch the hard palace wall almost inch by inch, its rough surface revealing its true nature.
Is this what it means for God not to dwell among men?
He withdrew his hand, and a sigh drifted on the night wind!
……………………
Back in her personal space, the "noble" Moon Goddess immediately broke down, exclaiming, "This scene was exhausting! I had to be suspended by wires and maintain my persona all at the same time!"
The system said happily, "But the reward is quite good; we've completed another main quest."
A delightful report:
"Main mission two: Perform an outstanding show to impress the audience and gain some recognition."
Task progress: Completed
Task……
Task Reward: 6000 points, Skill: Radiant Glow
(A perfect star never looks tired. With this skill, whether you're staying up late, injured, on your period, or sick, you'll always present a perfect image.)
The little rabbit's snow-white fur turned pinkish-white with excitement. "The mission completion rate is too high! I've even unlocked another skill!"
It's important to know that among all the cheats and hacks produced by the main gods, disposable items are the most numerous and easiest to obtain, while skills are the most difficult to acquire.
Because it is so difficult to obtain, it is like writing 148 out of 150 on a test, which only a few top students can do.
“I think it’s great too,” Ling Xiao laughed, feeling that the skills produced by the All-Star System would be of great help to her in playing the role of the Moon Goddess.
Gods are naturally not tired or in poor condition. Ling Xiao used to have to be on high alert at all times to avoid giving herself away, but now she can at least relax a bit.
"Okay, let's go to bed early tonight."
"Ah, why?" she asked in surprise.
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and said meaningfully, "Because the King of Qin sent troops to eliminate the demons."
Oh right, the demon was someone the host took him to impersonate.
So how many demons did the host show to the King of Qin just now?
Two or three hundred!
Kaz, the system disregarded its Jade Rabbit mimicry and transformed directly into a rascal rabbit with a rage comic face. Ahhhhh, time to get back to work!
……………………
The system then went through a period of darkness, just like the iron-willed Japanese soldiers in various anti-Japanese war dramas, being cut down in a variety of ways, and the demons also died in their own unique ways.
Tongzi's heart was numb...
As the demons in Qin were eliminated, Ying Zheng's mood improved, and he valued the jade talisman that could suppress the demons even more.
He rarely showed his face to anyone, only handing the troops over to the commanding generals when the army was about to depart.
The generals in the Qin court argued fiercely over the chance to lead troops and touch the jade talisman, almost coming to blows.
Wang Jian said, "I am an old man with deep experience, having conquered the states of Han and Zhao. You youngsters should step aside."
Meng Tian said, "The Meng family has been loyal to Qin for generations, making great contributions and showing unwavering loyalty. The jade tally is of great importance and should be given to Meng Tian."
Wang Ben was eager to try. He felt that although he was not as good as his father and General Meng in other aspects, he was the one chosen by the Moon Goddess!
Even the civil officials were somewhat tempted. After all, it was the Warring States period. If you think that scholars and strategists were weak and powerless, you'd be mistaken.
In the end, Ying Zheng made the final decision by drawing lots!
Every time they went out to exterminate demons, they drew lots to ensure everyone had an equal chance.
After most of the Qin generals had gone to fight demons, they praised the jade talisman's effects highly when they talked about it.
The demons that looked so ferocious were weakened by seven-tenths when illuminated by the light of the jade talisman, and they were able to achieve their goal with almost no casualties.
System: Damn it, I'm the demon, and I'm also the one who illuminated the broken jade tablet. My life is so difficult.
Everyone was happy, but one place in the Qin Palace was shrouded in gloom.
Lady Chu, dressed in simple white robes and light makeup, wept bitterly before Empress Dowager Huayang.
"Your Majesty, Chu is also your motherland! How can you just stand by and watch Chu suffer?"
The young Prince Fusu knelt beside her, bewildered, watching his weeping mother, at a loss for what to do.
Empress Dowager Huayang frowned and explained to her kindly:
"It's not that I don't want to save Chu, but you know how important the jade talisman is to Your Majesty. Besides, the demons in Chu are not serious. Don't let Chu's letter distract you!"
That's right, Ling Xiao certainly wouldn't do something as foolish as letting demons appear only in the Qin region of the entire world; wouldn't that arouse suspicion?
So, out of kindness, they arranged for some mummies, tiger demons, and the like to be found in the other three kingdoms.
However, there is only one system, and the main focus is on the Qin region, while the Chu, Yan, and Qi regions are neglected.
Lady Chu, a delicate and beautiful woman, wept uncontrollably, yet retorted:
"Qin and Chu are thousands of miles apart. How could the Empress Dowager know that the chaos in Chu is not serious?"
The king respects the Empress Dowager. If she asks for a mere jade token, he will surely obtain it and save the motherland.
"How dare you! You gave the jade token to the State of Chu! What will the State of Qin do now?" Empress Dowager Huayang finally lost her temper and fiercely rebuked her.
Madam Chu looked completely at ease:
"Isn't the Moon Goddess still here? Let the King ask for another one. Besides, it's not like the Chu Kingdom won't return the jade talisman."
Empress Dowager Huayang found it unbelievable! She couldn't help but scrutinize Madam Chu closely to see if she was joking.
Having spent so much time with the King of Qin, how could she not have seen through Ying Zheng's true nature?
A born monarch, with only the ambition to unify the world in his eyes, would he really provide financial assistance to the State of Chu for the sake of a mere empress dowager to whom he has no blood relation?
It should be known that the officials in the court had already reached a consensus that the next step was to attack Chu!
Empress Dowager Huayang suddenly lost the energy to talk to this fool and dismissed her with a few words.
He only sighed "what a pity" to Fusu, and then relayed Lady Chu's words to Ying Zheng verbatim.
Her confidante, puzzled, asked her why she did this.
Empress Dowager Huayang adjusted the hairpins in her hair before the mirror and said softly, "I was a princess of Chu for fourteen years, but I have been a woman of Qin for thirty-five."
