"Will the Northern Jin Dynasty think you have broken your promise and attack you?"
"Heh, do you think there's any difference between me being a king and an emperor in their eyes?"
"It doesn't seem so."
"Yeah, I didn't move before, and I still don't now."
"Well... I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work out, I'll just quit." Mu Run took a deep breath.
"With me here, there's nothing to worry about," Fu Yunchen said with a smile.
Mu Run glared at him, "It feels like you're setting a trap for me."
Fu Yunchen's smile deepened. "You said you would become empress yourself."
“…That’s true.” Mu Run looked at him. “Could it be that deep down, I’m actually a very ambitious and strong woman?”
Fu Yunchen looked at her seriously for a while, and finally said affirmatively, "Yes!"
Mu Run: "But I think I'm pretty Zen."
"Tell me about your world." Fu Yunchen pinched her full, round earlobe.
Mu Run nodded. "What do you want to know?"
"Tell me about their language and script."
"Actually, the numbers I taught Redmi and the others for keeping accounts are one type, called Arabic numerals, which are universally used..."
...
Dragon Mansion —
Huanhuan took a pen and wrote down a long string of numbers on the paper, which were the Arabic numerals that Murun had taught her.
Then, looking at Long Qian, she said, "That's what Mother taught me."
Long Qian looked at the numbers and then at the two children. "Did your mother come up with this herself?"
Huanhuan nodded, "Yes."
Long Qian laughed, "Your mother is quite capable. Alright, what else did she teach you?"
"A nursery rhyme," Tuantuan replied: "The wind doesn't blow, the trees don't sway, the birds don't sing, good baby should go to sleep, close your eyes."
"That sounds so nice, read another one to your uncle." Long Qian hugged Tuantuan tightly.
Tuantuan said, "I miss my mother."
Huanhuan also said, "I miss my mother too."
Long Qian picked Huanhuan up as well, "Then you two will learn witchcraft from your uncle. If you learn it well, your uncle will send you back. If you don't learn it well, you won't be able to see your mother again."
Huanhuan and Tuantuan nodded in unison.
"Huanhuan wants to learn witchcraft, Uncle, please teach her quickly."
"I want one too!" Tuantuan raised her little hand.
“Well then, let’s start with witchcraft.” Long Qian carried the two children to the study.
Ziwu, watching them from the side, let out a long sigh of relief, "Finally, we're getting down to business."
The price was a bit high, though. The entire Dragon Mansion was now completely devoured by the two little ones, leaving no secrets whatsoever.
In particular, they released quite a few of the Gu gu from the Gu-breeding room. Strange things have been happening in Changyi City these past few days, all of which are the work of the two young masters.
Long Qian, the only one who could retrieve the escaped Gu, ignored them completely, spending his days following the two children around as if they were his own.
"Lord Ziwu, someone has reported that there is a family outside the city who are like mad dogs, biting anyone they see, and anyone bitten by them will turn into their appearance."
"It's a corpse-transformation Gu. Let's go take a look." These two little devils are really good at causing trouble.
...
Mingyue Xiyang Villa outside the capital.
Qiao Dongzi stretched and saw two eagles flying in the sky.
He immediately blew a loud whistle.
Then he saw one of the eagles fly towards him.
"It really is you, kid," Qiao Dongzi said with a smile.
Grey let out a loud eagle cry and landed on his shoulder.
The heavy weight almost made Qiao Dongzi fall.
