Zuan released the rope and jumped down from mid-air: "Your Majesty seems to be getting impatient."
Mi Li's face darkened: "Are you trying to take advantage of me?"
"No, no," Zuan said, in high spirits. "By the way, I've taken the sword down. Can you move now?"
“Use Tai’a to break the shackles on my hands and feet…” Mi Li suddenly gasped for breath, her gaze falling on his lower abdomen, her face instantly turning bright red, “How dare you have such filthy thoughts about me!”
Anger from Mi Li +678!
Zu An was immediately embarrassed and quickly took a few steps back, turning his body to the side: "I'm sorry, something just happened. I didn't mean to do that to you."
Mi Li's heaving chest gradually calmed down. She knew she still needed the other party to save her, and she didn't want to completely break off relations, so she changed the subject: "What just happened? How exactly did you break the Heavenly Seal?"
In her eyes, the seals of man and earth were not worth her attention, but she had heard the legend of the seal of heaven. Back then, Ying Zheng had proudly claimed that no one could break it, and even mentioned that it had nothing to do with cultivation level.
Zuan was taken aback. It seemed that the other party had misunderstood that he was referring to the Heavenly Seal. Thinking of the dragon-robed man in the Tai'a Sword who had asked him to kill her, he decided that it was best not to mention this matter for the time being.
So he replied, following her lead, "When we arrived at a village in Dongjun, a meteorite suddenly fell from the sky..."
After giving a general account of the process, Zu'an couldn't help but ask, "There's a question I've never understood. Since this was a seal set up by Qin Shi Huang, why was Chen Sheng's life spared as the key to breaking the seal? You know, Chen Sheng later started the overthrow of the Qin Dynasty. From any perspective, Qin Shi Huang would never have allowed him to live, let alone use him as the key to breaking the seal."
Mi Li sighed deeply: "I finally understand why Ying Zheng was so confident that no one could break the Heavenly Seal. It's because he designed the seal based on the fate of the Qin state. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Seal was set up by him taking a fragment of the river of time. After that, the rules of the sealed world naturally evolved and developed according to the secrets of heaven, and were not subject to human will at all."
"As for the question about Chen Sheng that you mentioned, since he represents the will of Heaven, and the Qin Dynasty was overthrown by the rebel army represented by Chen Sheng, he naturally cannot die. Since the seal of Heaven represents the fate of the Qin state, breaking it naturally requires starting with the destruction of Qin, something that Ying Zheng probably did not foresee."
"I never imagined your momentary act of kindness would save you. What a cruel irony for the ruthless and bloodthirsty Ying Zheng! Hahaha~"
Hearing her slightly manic laughter, Zu'an couldn't help but ask, "Do you hate him?"
Mi Li snorted coldly: "This is none of your business."
Zuan looked sullen; this woman's temper was truly peculiar.
"However, I have to admit that you are truly blessed. Despite your low strength, you managed to reach the depths of the underground palace and even managed to break the Soul-Suppressing Seal. It seems that all of this is the will of Heaven," Mi Li said sincerely.
"Doesn't this prove that we are destined by fate?" Zu'an said with a grin.
"You've flirted with me time and time again, do you really have a death wish?" Mi Li's expression turned cold.
Anger from Mi Li +345!
Zuan didn't care at all: "Anyway, you signed the contract and can't hurt me, so what's wrong with me talking to you casually? You used to be the empress, always high and mighty, I bet you never had any friends."
Mi Li was speechless for a moment. This guy really knew how to seize an opportunity. She snorted coldly, "I don't need friends!"
“Humans are social animals, how can we not need friends?” Zaun said as he returned to the crystal coffin and used the Tai’a sword to cut the shackles on her hands and feet. “Meeting is fate, let’s be friends.”
As soon as the shackles on her hands and feet were removed, Mi Li jumped out of the crystal coffin, stood high on a stone sculpture to the side, and said coldly, "If you keep spouting nonsense, believe me, I'll cut your tongue out."
Zuan turned around and looked at her with a grin: "I don't believe you!"
Now, Mi Li stands on the high ground with her toes lightly touching the ground, making her appear even taller and more graceful, like a stunning beauty who has stepped out of a painting, adding a touch of brightness to this cold and dark cave.
"Ignorant brat!" Mi Li raised her eyebrows and slowly floated into the air, her clothes fluttering without wind, and an overwhelming aura spread out.
Zuan's breath hitched, and in that instant he felt an incomparably powerful pressure coming from all directions.
This pressure was many times stronger than the pressure from the Tai'a Sword before!
If he hadn't just undergone the tempering of the Primordial Qi, which has transformed him completely, and if the Tai'a Sword hadn't helped him share most of the pressure, he might have been forced to kneel down just a moment ago.
Even so, Zuan felt he couldn't hold on much longer. He wanted to say something, but under the immense pressure, he couldn't even open his mouth, let alone speak.
At this moment, Mi Li stood in mid-air with her hands behind her back, her eyes filled with indifference and an air of aloofness. She coldly said, "You think you can be my friend?"
Zu An almost bit his lips until they bled. The Primordial Chaos Scripture was running at full speed, helping him resist the overwhelming pressure. He could even feel his joints cracking, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.
"You do have some pride, but unfortunately you're too weak." Mi Li's expression turned cold, and she was about to increase her pressure when she suddenly felt a chill all over her body. She looked down in confusion and then froze.
