Jiang Xuan, who was the object of their envy and jealousy, was not as happy as they had imagined; in fact, he was somewhat distracted.
He was thinking about a problem.
"Jade Rabbit, what is your relationship with Nüba?" Having asked the first question, the rest was easy: "I remember, according to legend, Nüba was sealed away by the Moon Goddess Changxi, and now several thousand years have passed..."
Jiang Xuan stared at the jade rabbit with a serious expression:
"Can you guarantee that when she comes out, she'll be my protector, instead of beating me to death?"
"How can you guarantee that?" The Jade Rabbit's guilty conscience was palpable; it covered its eyes with its long ears to avoid the boy's sharp gaze.
"Nothing in this world is ever foolproof, right?"
"Nuba was sealed away at the request of the Yellow Emperor, in order to remove her evil thoughts and restore her pure divine body. So many years have passed, she should have succeeded... right?"
"Besides, if it weren't for this Jade Rabbit returning to break her seal, who knows how many more years Nüba would have remained sealed!"
The Jade Rabbit became more and more confident as it spoke.
"Chang Xi fought outside the boundary and was invincible. Naturally, she became stronger day by day, and the seal she left in this boundary also became stronger."
"If we rely solely on Nüba to wear down the seal, it will take tens of thousands of years."
"This Jade Rabbit is her savior who saved her from dire straits!"
"So what if I just let her be your protector? Even so, it's still an advantage for Nüba."
People hiding in the shadows all around.
Hearing this, the bitterness in my heart was like a great flood, and I could no longer hold back.
Someone is about to make a move.
If we can capture the Jade Rabbit, we can force out the way to liberate Nüba.
She/He is more qualified to have Nüba as his protector!
The atmosphere was tense and ready to explode.
At that very moment.
The carefree jade rabbit suddenly spoke up:
"Nuba is about to awaken. After thousands of years, Your Majesty should also do your part to help her awaken."
The group, who were about to take action, were shocked.
Who else could make the Jade Rabbit summon His Majesty?
Only Qin Emperor Ying Zheng.
In ancient legends, Emperor Ying Zheng gained the favor of the moon goddess Chang Xi, who helped him defeat the demon Nüba from the Chu state and sealed her form to aid the Qin dynasty's imperial destiny.
This relationship is very complex.
Given the Qin Emperor's abilities and cultivation, even if he were present, the combined strength of everyone present might not be enough to stop the Jade Rabbit.
"Damn it, they're not really coming, are they?"
"Please don't!"
Some people prayed silently, hoping that the Jade Rabbit was just using the Qin Emperor's power as a pretext. After all, so many of them had followed him for a long time and had not detected the slightest trace of the Qin Emperor's presence.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
Suddenly, a man dressed in black appeared standing quietly not far from the street.
He seemed to have always been there, but no one could detect him until he made his own appearance.
"Long time no see, Jade Rabbit."
The emperor, high above all others, smiled slightly. His face was just like it had been a thousand years ago, that proud yet spirited mortal monarch, but time had still left its mark on him.
For example, the composure and vicissitudes of those who live long lives.
The system beneath the Jade Rabbit's skin, gazing at this familiar face, also felt a long-lost sense of nostalgia.
It felt like returning to the time when he and his host were weak.
The naive self and the half-crippled host, relying on a celebrity system to pretend to be gods and ghosts, somehow managed to fool the whole world and make them believe that there really are gods in the world.
Now, here comes this colossal lie—
The time has come for it to become a reality.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
The snow-white rabbit hopped lightly and landed in the arms of the black-robed emperor, whose large, well-defined hands expertly stroked the rabbit's back.
Just watching this scene.
It's as if you can travel through thousands of years and see the scene in the magnificent Qin palace where an ambitious and powerful monarch bows his head and converses with the gods.
No one present, including Jiang Xuan, dared to disturb him, no matter how turbulent his emotions were.
He just stared at it intently.
"Hmph, this is the first time I've seen you since my return. But you, I wonder how long you've been secretly watching me."
"That's right."
Ying Zheng nodded, acknowledging the criticism from the jade rabbit in his arms, a smile welling up in his eyes.
Looking down at the Jade Rabbit, he explained calmly and slowly:
"I'm afraid I'll be deceived."
"Thousands of years have passed. The Qin Dynasty has prospered and been destroyed. Even the spiritual energy tides have risen and fallen once. I have been buried in the earth for a long time. The waiting time has been too long."
"So long ago, I had almost forgotten about it."
Ying Zheng's hand, which was stroking the jade rabbit, paused slightly, but only for a moment; apart from the jade rabbit, almost no one noticed.
"Now that you, Jade Rabbit, have truly returned, I feel a bit apprehensive, like I'm returning home..."
After such a long wait, the response was finally received. Even the Qin Emperor, who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, had to admit that he was somewhat afraid to face it, fearing that everything would not be as he had imagined.
"Are you relieved now?"
The Jade Rabbit waved its hand, its plump body swaying like flowing water, and spoke with great pride:
"This Jade Rabbit has long been immortal and eternally youthful, and its appearance will never change."
"Some things have changed."
"?"
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and tossed the jade rabbit upwards:
"The Jade Rabbit has become much more abundant."
Everyone then saw the Jade Rabbit bristling and arguing wildly, saying things like, "It's not that I'm fat, it's just that my fur has grown longer with the changing seasons, so it looks fatter..."
Jiang Xuan gathered his sword and scoffed—
Others may not know, but he doesn't?
I've just gained weight!
He testified.
