"You've arrived?"
"I am coming!"
You shouldn't have come!
"But I still came!"
The opening remarks, reminiscent of Gu Long's novels, instantly transported the reader back to bygone days.
Back then, she was innocent, lovely, and carefree.
Back then, he was a charming and ambitious man.
It is already quite difficult for two people from different standpoints and ethnicities to become friends.
Moreover, there is a deep-seated hatred between these two ethnic groups.
"I'm wondering, why did you abandon me in the first place!"
Does it matter?
"certainly!"
"If I said I never chose you, would you hate me?"
"Hate! But my hate stems from love, which, unlike yours, is devoid of warmth!"
"temperature?"
Lin Yu's lips curled slightly. "I've always been a cold person, especially when it comes to national and personal vendettas! You can call me narrow-minded, but from the very beginning, I've harbored hatred for your country. However, I have to admit, I can't bring myself to hate you!"
"That's enough for me!"
At that moment, Mako Longyu suddenly felt relieved.
A knot that had remained untied for many years was untied in an instant.
She was very satisfied with the answer.
"You helped me, are you really not going to regret it?" Lin Yu asked.
He felt a little guilty when he said that.
In this life, I have never wronged anyone, except for Longyu Zhenzi.
Back then, even though his cultivation was quite remarkable, if the Japanese wanted to keep him there, he might not have been able to escape.
This is a life-saving grace.
The other party's subsequent misfortunes were also somewhat related to this.
Longyu Zhenzi laughed nonchalantly, "What is there to regret? In life, you only need one experience of giving it your all; otherwise, how can you grow?"
"So, you've grown up!"
"yes!"
"So, you came here this time..."
"National affairs are also private matters!"
"How so?" Lin Yu asked, raising an eyebrow.
This girl, whom I haven't seen for many years, has shed her former naivety and now exudes the aura of a mature empress.
She said calmly, "My affairs of state are influenced by my personal matters. There's the story of the ancient tale of the beacon fire that amused the feudal lords, and I'm willing to take the gamble too, since you're the only man I've ever loved in my life!"
"Is it really that easy?" Lin Yu was both amused and exasperated.
Princess Longyu shook her head and said solemnly, "I am speaking to you as a princess of Japan, and every word I say to you is sincere!"
"Oh, you've really grown up. Go ahead and tell me, I'm listening! But there's no need to talk about peace. The hatred between the two nations is unsolvable, it has a cause and an effect! Even if you want peace, those fanatical right-wing elements within your Japan will never agree!" Lin Yu said frankly.
He considered countless possibilities: could the enmity between the two countries be resolved?
But of all these possibilities, none can resolve the hatred between the two countries.
Because this hatred is etched into our genes and written in our blood, it is impossible to resolve.
Unless Japan is completely wiped out!
Otherwise, even if the Great Xia doesn't care, it truly has an indomitable spirit!
"You don't believe in my abilities?" asked Mako Longyu.
Lin Yu shook his head. "It's not that I don't believe in your abilities, it's just that human nature is unpredictable!"
"I don't understand people's hearts, I only understand myself. I am the only one who can communicate with the gods. I call the shots in the royal family. So-called madmen must grovel at my feet. In the past, I had no place here and couldn't interfere, but now, I am in charge!"
"Gods? Ha!"
Lin Yu scoffed, "Then you don't quite understand the so-called god behind you. It's nothing more than a fallen ancient god. It was once shot down from the sky by the ancestors of my Great Xia. Given the chance, it won't let it go easily either! Just for that reason, I will absolutely not let it go!"
"Is that so..."
Long Yuzhenzi found it unbelievable that this feud didn't start more than a hundred years ago, but that the feelings had started in ancient times.
"What you said is true, but I still want to try!" Ryuko pursed her lips, looking somewhat stubborn.
“I can try. Considering our past friendship, as long as you submit a letter of surrender, I can pretend that this attack on Great Xia never happened. But your Japanese cabinet members, and everyone involved in starting the war, must kneel on the west coast and confess their crimes!”
"This is too much! If this is the case, where is the dignity of my Yamato people? You might as well make me kneel down!" Ryuko Mako said irritably.
Lin Yu chuckled and shook his head, saying with a playful tone, "If you insist on doing that, it's not impossible. Her Highness the Princess's clone is far more noble than those useless trash!"
"You!" Long Yuzhenzi rolled her eyes in anger.
She thought for a moment and continued, "If you insist on saving face, I can agree to whatever conditions you set! But I also hope that you can declare that you will reconcile with Japan and forge lasting friendship!"
"A lifelong bond? Do you think that's possible?" Lin Yu chuckled speechlessly, thinking this woman was incredibly naive.
"What's impossible? It's all about human effort! Of course, words are no guarantee! Both of us need to show genuine sincerity!"
"Oh, trying to negotiate with me? Come on, tell me!" Lin Yu joked.
Longyu Zhenzi rolled her eyes at him and said, "This isn't about negotiating conditions; it's a win-win situation! My idea is that we two should form a marriage alliance, with you becoming the son-in-law of my Wa Kingdom. Wouldn't that make us related, reducing the hatred by half? Then, your Great Xia would give us a piece of land in the Northeast to live on. Eventually, our two ethnic groups will merge and become part of the Great Xia civilization, no longer distinguishing between 'yours' and 'mine.' Wouldn't that solve the problem?"
Lin Yu's eyes narrowed instantly. "Tsk tsk, you've got a good plan. You want not only my people, but also my land! Have you ever thought that after all these years of trying to change the country, you've failed? And now you think you can pull off a miracle with just a few words? Don't you find that ridiculous?"
Longyu Zhenzi blushed and pursed her lips, saying, "I'm different from them. They want to be swallowed by ants, but I just want to survive! Your Great Xia is an inclusive nation. Throughout history, no matter which ethnic group has integrated into Great Xia, they have all been diluted by Great Xia civilization, so what is there to worry about? Even if my Japanese people integrate, it won't affect anything! Besides, I think there is no hatred between the two countries at all. You think those fanatics want to restore militarism, but in reality, they are all bark and no bite. The Japanese islands are sinking every year, and in a hundred years they will all be submerged in the sea. They just want to find a way out for their nation, not what you think!"
"That's just what you think!"
Lin Yu shook his head. "Zhenzi, you're thinking too simply. Our Great Xia is full of stories like the farmer and the snake. After all, the most unsettling thing in this world is the human heart. You think this way, but can you guarantee that others think the same way? You should know about those two countries in the Middle East. They took them in, but they usurped the opportunity and became Satan! I, Lin Yu, will never allow such a thing to happen in our Great Xia!"
