Chapter 107 How can the affairs of Qin Er Shi be called a rebellion? 19...
Although he could be considered to have been helped, Liu Bang always felt like a puppet being led by strings, so he made a decision!
He shouted in perfect unison, "Hey, take this!"
The snake couldn't understand, but the one controlling it could. Seeing Liu Bang's cooperation, Zhu Qing'ai immediately got the urge to direct and, with a wave of her hand, arranged for him to perform a feat of leaping across rooftops.
Then, give the snake a 'berserk' buff. The man and the snake fight from the ground to the sky, their weapons clashing against the snake's scales with a clanging sound, and the bloody smoke grows thicker and thicker.
The trees that had already been flattened by the 'White Snake' had created a large open space, which then expanded. The trees were lying on the ground, and the shrubs were almost crushed into the soil.
The commotion caused by the fight grew increasingly louder.
Although the crowd that came to check dared not step forward to fight the monster, they could still cheer and encourage from the sidelines. In no time, the mountains and forests were filled with deafening cheers.
Only when Zhu Qing'ai felt that the visibility in the forest had dropped sufficiently did she arrange to bring the battle to a close.
Lü Zhi, seeing that the white snake was at its last gasp, immediately said in a voiceover, "Even if you are the son of the Crimson Emperor, if you dare to kill me, my father will not let you go!"
Regardless of whether the White Emperor exists or not, we must make a strong statement and bring up the setting of Liu Bang as the son of the Red Emperor. Even if nothing can replace the White Emperor in the future, it can be said that the Red Emperor has already dealt with the White Emperor.
It has to be said that Lü Zhi is incredibly dedicated. Even Zhu Qing'ai admires her. Despite not having discussed the 'unexpected' situation beforehand, she was still able to remain calm and achieve her goal even better according to the original plan.
Liu Bang knew it was Lü Zhi speaking, so without thinking, he replied, "Bah! So what if it's Baidi? Let him come!"
After Liu Bang slashed the 'White Snake' with his sword again, he finally regained control of his body. He seemed to have been abandoned by a certain spirit and fell from a height of three meters. However, he reacted quickly and rolled on the spot when he landed, so he fell hard but didn't feel any pain.
Behind him was a white snake hissing in resentment. A second later, its massive body slowly collapsed. Liu Bang quickly got up from the ground and ran away, afraid that if he was too slow, he would be crushed to death by the snake's corpse.
Liu Bang tried to walk forward a little and used his sword to test whether the white snake was dead. He breathed a sigh of relief after finding that the white snake's body was completely still, and the crowd around him cheered.
Meanwhile, after some thought, Lü Zhi left the scene and headed down the mountain. She tried her best not to show herself at this time, so as not to give anyone even the slightest chance to suspect what she was doing behind the scenes.
After killing the white snake, Liu Bang felt refreshed and had time to boast to his brothers who had joined him.
He thought others might doubt whether he was exaggerating, but now no one will. The giant snake's 'corpse' is lying right here.
They showered Liu Bang with praise, secretly marveling at their own excellent judgment.
They all clearly heard what the snake said: the 'white snake' claimed to be the son of the White Emperor, and also called Liu Bang the son of the Red Emperor.
There's no need to think about anything else; anyone who has witnessed the scene will deeply believe this claim.
Liu Bang pondered for a moment and said, "Leaving this snake here is not a good idea. Let's bury it."
But after he put forward this idea, the people around him looked at each other, and for the time being, no one wanted to go forward and touch the 'white snake'.
The eldest son of the Crimson Emperor is naturally not afraid of these things. They are all mortals with flesh and blood, how could they do such an offensive thing?
Fortunately, Zhu Qing'ai heard this and decided that it was enough for the snake to stay here for so long. So she waved her hand and made it disappear in a wisp of green smoke.
In fact, she had already thrown the python back to her hometown; she would go find it again if she needed it next time.
The python, which was almost brainless and not very smart, hadn't figured out how it had suddenly appeared here, fought with the two-legged creature, and then suddenly returned. It didn't even have the concept of dreaming. After staring at its small eyes for a while and finding itself unharmed, it went off to hunt.
****
Those who witnessed the disappearance of the 'White Snake' gasped in surprise again, seemingly relieved that there was no need to worry about the rumors being spread.
There were dozens of people present, and if the forest path hadn't been too narrow for so many people, there would probably have been even more to come and see what was going on.
Long after the 'White Serpent' disappeared, the startled people finally calmed down. They realized that no White Emperor had appeared to retaliate against them, so they boldly went to the open space.
There are many broken trees here, which is obviously not caused by human power. Even if the 'white snake' corpse has disappeared, those who see the remaining scene will not doubt the story of the Red Emperor's son slaying the white snake.
Liu Bang did not go to see it, but he had a vague guess in his heart about what was going on.
This white snake was not the work of him and E'xu. Among those present, there was only one possibility that could bring such a large snake, or rather, a snake demon.
He's itching to get started, so does that mean the sword in his hand has become a divine sword?
He had clearly seen the golden light emanating from the sword. The sword's sharpness was enough to crush all other swords in the world. What else could a sword that could kill a snake demon be but a divine weapon?
So while everyone went to check the forest, some of the bolder and more reckless even went into the soil that had sunk several inches deep to see if they could find a single scale or piece of armor, Liu Bang secretly moved to the side of 'Qin'.
He gestured to the people following him not to come closer, then lowered his voice and spoke, first sincerely thanking Him for His help, then cautiously probing, "You think this white snake might really be the son of the White Emperor...?"
'Qin' turned and walked up the mountain. Liu Bang quickly followed, bending slightly to avoid being taller than her. Once they were away from the crowd, he dared to speak a little louder: "I can't say that, after all, that sound, cough cough..."
It wasn't that no one noticed Liu Bang's unusual behavior, but after the shock they had just experienced, they were more inclined to speculate that it was a communication with the gods.
No one would find Liu Bang's actions strange; if they were, then his act of slaying the white snake would be even more illogical.
If something as outrageous as killing the White Emperor's son has already happened, what else is impossible?
****
"Didn't you just threaten to let Bai Di come after you? Why are you scared now? I thought you weren't afraid."
Liu Bang immediately cowered and said, "But you're standing right here, I can't let you down."
"Oh, then I won't stop Bai Di for you."
Liu Bang: ?!
"No!" Liu Bang exclaimed in alarm.
'Qin' quickened its pace, almost floating up the mountain, while Liu Bang walked briskly beside her to keep up.
Liu Bang didn't understand, Liu Bang didn't believe it, Liu Bang wanted to make a last-ditch effort, just when there was no one around and no one was in sight, he asked: "That's not right, isn't that White Emperor's son... made up? How can there really be a White Emperor?"
As one of the masterminds behind it all, how could he not know what the so-called White Emperor's Son and White Emperor were? It was a story he and E'xu fabricated after discussing it. It looked impressive, but it was actually fake.
Does he not know whether the White Emperor exists or not? If the White Emperor exists, why didn't anyone stop him when he was making fun of people before?
So he didn't believe what Qin said, nor did he want to believe it, but he was very cautious and still showed the expression that Qin hoped to see.
There's a mix of truth and fiction here; some of it is acting, but there's also genuine fear involved, since the greatest fear in people's hearts comes from the unknown.
He wasn't afraid of Him because He could see Him. Although His attitude towards Him was sometimes good and sometimes bad, He at least had feelings for Him. What he feared was the White Emperor, whom He couldn't see and who might or might not exist.
"Since there isn't one, what are you afraid of?" After a pause, 'Qin' said, "That white snake is a gift I gave you for your rebellion. Do you like it?"
Liu Bang: ...
At that moment, he saw a rather vivid expression on His face, an expression that carried both a mischievous amusement and a touch of gentle concern, quite different from His usual demeanor.
It's not about personality or inner self, it's more like she's become a completely different person (scratch that)...
But would you like this gentle care from me?
Liu Bang felt that Ling's concern was like an earth dragon turning over, intense and extremely destructive.
He quickly withdrew his previous expression and returned to his aloof and elegant self.
"you……"
If Liu Bang were born in modern times, he would know where that sense of incongruity comes from, as if he had a split personality...
He changed his tone again, smiling, and said, "Oh dear, I'm sorry, I didn't control myself just now."
But His expression changed so quickly, as if the spirit who had just been smiling and speaking was not Him, and He didn't react at all to Liu Bang's overloaded mental state.
Liu Bang followed behind, pondering His words. In fact, He was right; the snake's arrival was timely, making his plan even more realistic.
So it's perfectly fine as a gift!
Thinking this through, Liu Bang stopped overthinking and immediately offered his gratitude in various ways, though he was still a little curious about where the snake had gone.
When asked about this, Qin replied casually, "It was sent back."
She stopped in her tracks, looking at Liu Bang with a half-smile: "What, you can't bear to part with it?"
As she spoke, she raised her hand and lightly tapped the air. Tiny golden specks of light gathered around her fingertips, gradually coalescing into various complex lines.
It's as if she'll catch the snake again if you say you can't bear to part with it.
Coincidentally, she had recorded a lot of footage when she went to catch snakes, and before Liu Bang could stop her, she directly pointed to the southern part of Asia.
"That's where they caught them."
The dense golden lines suddenly magnified, quickly transforming into a scene in a dense forest, where a familiar 'white snake' was hunting.
Liu Bang was greatly shocked: "I can't believe there really is a place in the world where such a giant snake can be born. I wonder where this is?"
"In a place further south than the three prefectures of Nanhai, Guilin, and Xiangjun, if you can conquer it, you should be able to see it again in your lifetime..."
"Yeah, we should be able to see that."
Liu Bang was used to Qin's occasional riddles, and he was even more pleased by Qin's implicit tacit agreement.
Occasionally, he would dare to bargain, for example, emphasizing the 'White Snake,' saying that he was very grateful for the uprising... as a gift.
While attracting Qin's attention, he shamelessly explained, "You say I am the Second Emperor of Qin, so I am acting in accordance with the will of Heaven to quell the rebellion, not rebelling."
