In ancient Chinese mythology, those beings seem to be immortals.
But in this world...
Li Qingyu didn't know the specifics.
However, the existence of the little fairy algae does indeed prove that there may really be immortals in this world.
Why do you ask that?
While pondering this, Li Qingyu didn't give a direct answer, but instead asked a question in return.
"Because you are so similar to the immortals described in my royal family records."
The Southern Queen pointed to Li Qingyu's face and body.
"A commoner's face, a royal body... that is immortality!"
"oh...."
Li Qingyu nodded.
Then he shook his head.
"Sorry, I'm not an immortal, I'm a human."
"An immortal?" The Southern Queen clapped her hands.
"No, it's people."
Li Qingyu ruthlessly shattered the Southern Queen's illusions.
"By the way, whether I'm an immortal or a human, what does it have to do with you?"
Hearing Li Qingyu's series of denials.
The aura of the Southern Queen gradually shifted from approachable to cold and arrogant.
"I'll ask you one more time, are you sure you're not a deity?"
Faced with the sudden change in the Southern Queen's demeanor.
Li Qingyu blinked, unsure of what to say.
Goodness...
You change your expression way too fast, don't you?
"no."
Even so, Li Qingyu still did not intend to lie.
"You can be."
The Southern Queen stared into Li Qingyu's eyes.
In an instant, an incredibly rich and intense aura of celestial energy surged and bubbled throughout the garden.
The green flowers bowed down, seemingly in fear of the Southern Queen's aura.
"Okay, that's me."
Li Qingyu nodded with a smile.
In an instant.
Upon hearing Li Qingyu's reply...
The atmosphere in the garden returned to its peaceful state.
"That's good."
The Southern Queen nodded haughtily.
Although the atmosphere around them had calmed down, the Southern Queen's attitude remained unchanged.
"Actually, I don't believe in the existence of immortals either."
"But just because I don't believe it doesn't mean other countries don't."
"So, no matter where you come from, as long as you cooperate with me and act out a few plays in peace, I will ensure your safety and even grant you wealth and honor."
The Southern Queen's right hand is slightly clenched, exuding an aura of imperial dominance.
Where is the pure and innocent girl she once was?
"Okay, sure."
Li Qingyu nodded again, indicating that it was no big deal.
Seeing that Li Qingyu was so cooperative, the Southern Queen's arrogant expression finally softened slightly.
"Alright, take him down to rest. We can grant him any reasonable requests."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Ba Wan, who was waiting to the side, bowed and accepted the order.
As for the Southern Queen, after giving her instructions, she turned around again and quietly gazed into the distance.
Li Qingyu glanced at it.
In the spot where the Southern Queen was looking, there stood a stone sculpture clad in heavy armor with a face shaped like the North Wind Mahjong tile.
"By the way, I have a question."
Seeing that Ba Wan was about to lead him away, Li Qingyu suddenly spoke up.
"What's the problem?"
The voice of the Southern Queen echoed softly.
"Have you heard of... Daozi?" Li Qingyu was quite puzzled, because although he had come to this so-called southern country, there was no Daozi at all within a hundred miles on the war map.
Surely there must be a Daoist in this small world?
Or is it...?
This southern country is too weak; it does not yet possess the conditions to nurture a Daoist.
"Never heard of it, see the guest out."
The Southern Queen's voice was indifferent, and she didn't even turn her head.
Seeing this, Ba Wan didn't delay and quickly grabbed Huang Tian, who was with Li Qingyu, and dragged Li Qingyu outside.
It seemed they were afraid that if they were too slow, they would anger the Queen of the South.
Li Qingyu frowned.
After glancing at the time on the war map, they temporarily abandoned the method of using force.
We should win people over with virtue...
Then, Li Qingyu had an idea.
In an instant.
An inexplicable scent of love swept over the eighty thousand, over the south wind, over the garden filled with green flower sculptures, over the noisy streets of mahjong, and over this entire castle built of mahjong tiles.
Great love descends.
All living beings have fallen into this trap.
A few minutes later.
Li Qingyu lay leisurely on a deck chair woven from green grass, his legs crossed.
The once proud and aloof Southern Empress now exuded a fanatical aura, bowing respectfully.
Standing beside Li Qingyu, he kept chattering and reporting.
"My lord, isn't the annual Four Kingdoms War here? The moment I see your divinely handsome figure, I can't help but wish that you would lead our southern kingdom to victory!"
"I have never heard of Daozi before."
"However, according to historical records, a long, long time ago, a game called Heavenly Mandate Mahjong appeared in the southern country. I don't know if it is the Daozi that you mentioned."
"By the way, my lord, why don't you sit on the throne yourself? I only wish to be your empress!"
As she spoke, the Queen of the South extended her hand.
She gently massaged Li Qingyu.
The technique was skillful and experienced, which actually made Li Qingyu feel quite pleased.
However, after feeling the Southern Queen's hand becoming somewhat restless, Li Qingyu waved away the reluctant Southern Queen, intending to be alone in peace.
"Why...."
"Indeed, winning people over with virtue is the best way; there's no need to draw your sword at all."
Li Qingyu swung his toes.
"but...."
"According to this Southern Queen, there are only four kingdoms in this world: east, west, south, and north, and the distances between them are not far."
"Could it be that there really are no Daoists in this world?"
"Or perhaps..."
"Is the Southern Queen's vision too narrow?"
Li Qingyu made random guesses.
"I wonder how Qiao Cheng is doing."
"However, the Spirit Flame is still dormant, which means that Qiao Cheng's situation should be alright."
Thinking of this.
Li Qingyu glanced at the points rankings again.
As expected.
The Holy Spirit Civilization and the Pig Demon Civilization both rose a few points.
As for their human civilization, it's a pitiful five points.
It's obvious.
Not only did he fail to make a sale, but Qiao Cheng's business also failed.
"Wow... that's so pitiful."
Li Qingyu was a little embarrassed.
If we were to be eliminated like this, it would be incredibly embarrassing.
"Alright, let's poke around and see what happens, then we'll push harder later!"
After the initial reflection.
Li Qingyu turned his gaze back to the sun in the sky.
