Liang Jian: I have a canteen

"Thank you for your compliment!"

Himiko said something polite, but Xu San felt that her queenly aura had diminished considerably.

It seems she really wants to have a serious talk with Xu San.

This is exactly what Xu San wanted. After all, there was Huan Ji in between, so some things were hard to say, and the two women were always on different wavelengths.

"Enough with the small talk!" Xu San said crisply, intending to get straight to the point, "Has Ti Jun left the island nation?"

"No!" Himiko answered just as decisively.

"Then who went back?"

"A stand-in!"

Xu San nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Because if Ti-jun really went back, many things might not have happened.

Now, here comes the important part.

Who exactly is Guoti?

In the brilliant era of the Three Kingdoms, he seemed to be a very mediocre figure.

He may not have been mediocre, but his deeds have not been recorded in much detail.

Of course, Xu San's lack of education also played a role.

After all, he wasn't a professional historian; reading the Records of the Three Kingdoms was just a passing interest. The fact that he could still remember it after so many years was thanks to his youth and good memory at the time.

Older people may experience memory decline, but they can still remember clearly the books they read and the knowledge they learned when they were young.

So young people, learn more!

As people get older, they learn things more slowly, and even if they want to, they can't keep up. Thinking too much, Xu San gently shook his head, feeling that his body was only in its twenties and shouldn't appear so old-fashioned.

What do you mean by shaking your head?

Xu San's movements were very light, but Himiko, who had been watching him closely, saw them clearly.

"Sigh~" Xu San exhaled a breath of stale air, "Some things arise from feelings? They have nothing to do with you."

After composing himself, Xu San continued, "So, is Guo Ti still alive?"

Xu San's tone appeared to be questioning, but it was actually a question of certainty.

"Perhaps," Himiko hesitated for a moment, speaking in a somewhat uncertain tone. She didn't really know if Guoti was still alive, but if he had really put all one hundred bronze mirrors together back then, then it was quite possible that he was still alive.

The thought that Gotico might still be alive caused a slight change in Himiko's expression.

That wasn't a young girl's shyness, but a woman's longing for her husband.

Ah!
There's definitely a story behind it!
This world really is all about men and women.

"So, in what form does Guoti live? Like you, in an energy body state? Or in a neutrino state?"

Xu San's words were probably too technical, leaving Himiko completely bewildered.

Xu San smiled slightly, "The two states actually mean 'strange' or 'deceptive.' Now it's been 1,800 years since your time. Some things have already been studied and some results have been achieved?"

"Then what about immortality? Is it possible for people today to achieve immortality?"

“No! Immortality goes against the laws of nature, and those who achieve immortality will inevitably be cursed by the Heavenly Dao!” Xu San said, raising his eyebrows slightly. He felt that the Japanese probably didn’t understand what the Heavenly Dao was, so he simply changed it to, “They will be cursed by the gods.”

"Hmm~" Himiko responded, acknowledging Xu San's words, for wasn't her current state a curse in itself? (End of Chapter)
