Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

"The six states perished, did they not want to learn from Great Qin and undertake reforms? It was the obstruction from various powers that caused the reforms to become a hybrid that resembled nothing. Eventually, it was the ulterior motives of clans that led to their downfall."

"If one wants to achieve something, one must seize the moment while Great Qin is strong. Even if one errs, I, the Emperor, am here, and we can afford to lose. I would like to see who dares to assassinate me!

Once this critical moment passes, and Jing'er ascends the throne, it's feared that no matter what he wishes to accomplish, he will face myriad difficulties. Even after thousands or tens of thousands of years, it's likely that he won't be able to achieve anything."

Ying Si's gaze wandered beyond the palace, as if seeing through the dense fog of time into the future, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Why must Your Majesty think so? You will certainly be the greatest emperor after the Human Emperor, truly deserving the name of the First Emperor. Our Great Qin will surely last for seven to eight generations without end," Bai Yunzi said.

"Heh, the name of the First Emperor, if not I, who else? But as for the eternal prosperity of Great Qin, such nonsense is better left unsaid by Yue Ji."

"All I desire is to pacify the Five Realms and completely shatter the sword hanging over the head of our Human Race. As for the future infighting of our race, I do not wish to care."

Having said so, Ying Si's tone became decisive, carrying an unquestionable and unchangeable will:

"Meat must rot within the pot!"

"I am willing to support Your Majesty with all my strength!" Seeing her husband so bold, a dignified woman's eyes shone with intense love.

"Good! Once my heartfelt wish is achieved, why not knock down the courtyard walls, and I'll take Yue Ji to see the world beyond."

"As a consort at twenty, I am willing to join in dust and ashes. Wherever Your Majesty goes, I will follow."

"But Your Majesty, when will you confer the title of Princess upon Lin Luo? She has been drifting outside for quite long enough, and with her mother having passed away early, if her father doesn't care for her, it is just too pitiful."

"Ah? This... this..." Faced with the dignified woman's teasing gaze, Ying Si's face turned red, and he then puffed out his chest proudly and said, "No rush, once the ceremony honoring Yi Chengzi as Great Qin's National Teacher is over, I'll take care of this."

"Yue Ji, you are a bit presumptuous now. I must punish you!"

As the dignified woman let out an exclamation, her legs were suddenly encircled by a large hand and she was swept up off the ground.

....

....

The starlit night, Imperial Palace.

Yi Chen really had the worst luck; after bathing and preparing himself, he ended up facing rejection at the door.

The guard, a member of the Imperial Bodyguards, told him the Emperor was currently busy with state affairs and instructed him to return at midnight.

After encountering Lin Luo by the jade steps of the Imperial Palace, who had been turned away earlier as well, Yi Chen then entered the grand hall with her.

"Haha, Yi Taoist, I have been neglectful due to the affairs of the state," Ying Si said.

"What do you think of the Pure Yang Daoist Palace I had constructed for you; does it meet your satisfaction?"

"The gifts bestowed by His Majesty are naturally superb, and I am overjoyed," Yi Chen replied, subtly flattering before he continued,

"However, today I come for an important discussion. As I sit upon the position of Great Qin's National Teacher, if there are any heretical powers or malevolent spirits within Great Qin, it is my inescapable duty to dispatch them day and night, slaying the disloyal."

"Yet, I also have a small request. My master, Bai Yunzi, perished at the hands of demons and wicked spirits. Therefore, on that day, I swore an oath to personally slay myriad demons and wicked spirits."

"One demon, one merit,"

"I wish to slay millions of demons, to accumulate millions of merits, billions of glories, to comfort the spirit of my master in heaven!"

"What do you mean, Taoist?"

"Alone, my power is limited. I wish to borrow a sum from Great Qin's treasury to acquire objects possessed by demons and wicked spirits, to purge the world of evil spirits and amass millions of merits!"

"Otherwise, bound by my spiritual vows, it would hinder my cultivation! This would also be a loss for Great Qin!"

Yi Chen spoke with righteousness and resounding confidence!

Yi Chengzi took out a loan for his duty; everything was for Great Qin. With a heart full of loyalty and courage, his intentions and actions deserved to be illuminated by the sun and the moon!
