Inside the main hall of the King of Qin.
Li Si entered the hall with several colleagues, his head slightly bowed, wondering why the king had summoned them.
Upon meeting, they saw that Prince Fusu was also there, with the Jade Rabbit listlessly munching on a carrot beside him.
"Please sit down."
Ying Zheng waved his hand, signaling them not to stand on ceremony, his sharp and imposing manner evident in his eyes.
After everyone knelt down, Zhao Gao personally handed out copies of the intelligence information on bamboo slips to everyone. The hall was silent except for the sound of his sleeves brushing against the bamboo slips.
Li Si was furious when he saw the news of Li Xin's crushing defeat.
The Qin state was the foundation upon which he had built his life's work and realized his ambitions; how could he not be furious at this setback?
While pondering how to make up for the damage Li Xin had done to the Qin state, Li Si suddenly heard a cry of surprise and couldn't help but frown.
Who was so distraught? Looking up, it was Wei Liao, who looked surprised as if he had seen something unbelievable.
Hmph, making a fuss over nothing. Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war, why be so surprised?
Li Si thought dismissively that Wei Liao was too impetuous and should be more composed like him.
The next second, a series of surprised or fearful cries rang out.
He sensed something was wrong and quickly checked the rest of the bamboo slips; the Yellow Emperor's daughter, Nüba, had appeared…
This news was like a thunderbolt from the blue. Another deity had appeared, and she was even the daughter of the Yellow Emperor. Everyone knew that their king had won the favor of the Yellow Emperor, and even the Xuanyuan Sword was in his hands.
This has made things complicated. As the saying goes, even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes, and after all, Nüba and the Yellow Emperor were father and daughter.
As for Nüba, mortals can only kneel and beg her not to kill them.
Everyone fell silent for a moment, until Wei Liao broke the silence. He was skilled in military strategy and tactics, and was a cautious man who did not talk much, but he suddenly spoke up.
"Matters concerning the gods should be decided by the Moon Goddess. Nüba herself claims to be an evil god, which falls within the Moon Goddess's duties. As for the people of the remaining three kingdoms, are we ashamed to be inferior to them?"
"They're nothing but worthless wretches!"
Meng Tian's words were surprising, yet he remained calm and composed. The others, though their expressions varied, all showed approval.
"Since that's the case, what do we have to fear? We just need to do our own jobs well. As for the birth of Nüba, we ask the King to consult the Moon Goddess."
The officer nodded, stroking his long beard, his calm demeanor carrying an air of disdain.
Ying Zheng, seated high above, tapped his fingers on the table, his face deep in thought.
After hearing Wei Liao's words, he disregarded the fact that he had little contact with the Moon Goddess and softly asked the jade rabbit beside Fusu:
"The evil goddess Nüba has been born. Does the Jade Rabbit know anything about this goddess? How will the Moon Goddess respond?"
How should the Moon Goddess respond? That's a good question.
The system, Jade Rabbit, thought to itself, "Nüba is the Moon Goddess you mentioned who created this."
You all want the Moon Goddess to deal with the Demoness, which is like the left hand fighting the right; in any case, the host, Ling Xiao, will always be the victor.
The system, Jade Rabbit, reviewed the script that Ling Xiao had rushed out overnight before speaking:
"Nüba is indeed an evil goddess, but she fell into evil because she was fighting against Chiyou for the Yellow Emperor, and she still has the favor of the human race."
If He were to aid the other three kingdoms, then Your Majesty, you are truly in trouble this time.
As for what Chang Xi thinks, I'm just a little jade rabbit, how would I know!
Exaggerate the threat posed by the enemy or problem, so that when you defeat them, your own merit will be greater.
Ling Xiao has grasped certain characteristics of the Celestial Empire and applied them with unparalleled skill.
The system, Jade Rabbit, noticed that Ying Zheng's expression had become even more solemn, and the others were also staring intently at it.
What to do? I'm a little nervous. I'll take a bite of carrot.
The Jade Rabbit seemed completely unconcerned, eating carrots without a care in the world. Ying Zheng, however, became increasingly concerned about Nüba, bending down to lift the Jade Rabbit onto the table.
"Can the Jade Rabbit contact the Moon Goddess? I would like to discuss with her how to deal with Nüba. Also, the Xuanyuan Sword belongs to the Yellow Emperor. Is it effective against Nüba? Can it cut into flesh?"
Ah, this system is a bit dramatic. Discussing how to attack her with me is like discussing military deployment with an undercover agent.
"The Yellow Emperor felt guilty towards Nüba, but he always tried to escape from her. This father and daughter were a well-known example of family discord in the Heavenly Court."
I've heard that many deities... cough, I'll stop here. Anyway, the Yellow Emperor wouldn't side with Nüba.
The Jade Rabbit first started gossiping animatedly, making faces and captivating everyone's attention, then suddenly stopped talking, leaving them all itching to know more.
Li Si cleared his throat, composed himself, and acted as if the one who had just pricked up his ears was not a high-ranking official of the Qin Dynasty.
This jade rabbit seems a bit unconventional; the Moon Goddess has rather unusual tastes.
"Chang Xi will arrive immediately, Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
As she spoke, the system Jade Rabbit made an OK sign in her mind, summoning Ling Xiao to appear.
Far away in the State of Chu, Ling Xiao, who had just stepped into the gates of the Xiang clan, stopped in his tracks, drawing a puzzled glance from Xiang Yan behind him.
"Let's use some feudal superstition or something to stall for time."
After replying to the system, Ling Xiao remained expressionless, looked up at the children playing in a corner of the mansion, stared at them meaningfully, then looked away and lifted his foot again.
Xiang Yan was left bewildered and suspicious. While following behind Nüba, he gave his confidant a meaningful look, signaling him to investigate who the children were.
Ling Xiao, who was walking ahead, kept browsing the items in the All-Star System, quickly judging whether they were useful for the current situation.
………………
Upon receiving the message, the system's Jade Rabbit was practically bursting with excitement.
Only then did I realize that I had been so focused on the benefits of the host running two instances of the game.
What if something happens on both sides? He can split himself into two, but Ling Xiao can't!
Taking a deep breath and trying to calm down, I faced the expectant crowd, my mind racing.
This is a huge challenge; it's really putting my system through a lot of trouble.
In a crisis, human intelligence might suddenly become superhuman; a human could kill a tiger with a sliding tackle and finally come up with a solution.
The Jade Rabbit closed its eyes, its expression changing repeatedly, making everyone else's hearts race.
Suddenly, the Jade Rabbit opened its eyes and said with some distress:
"I can't get in touch with Chang Xi. Has she gone to visit some blessed land again? These ancient immortals are concealing the secrets of heaven even in their own territories."
The crowd looked at them strangely, their feelings a mix of emotions.
What if the enemy is coming on strong, but your backer is unreliable, and you can't even find anyone when it matters most?
Before Ying Zheng could speak, they continued to kill time.
"However, I have a Heavenly Contract with Chang Xi. Once I light the Azure Incense, I can send him a message."
Ying Zheng believed it without a doubt and sent people to find all the bizarre materials required by the system.
When the system finally had no more time to delay, it transformed into the Jade Rabbit, painstakingly making incense bit by bit.
Ling Xiao finally found a useful item from the All-Star System.
