Ascension

Chapter 242 Cold Emperor
  "Hoohoo!"

Guagua's little ears moved and suddenly popped out of Hua Zhu's hair.

"Quack! Quack, quack??"

What! Want to name the dynasty after Ben Gua? ?
  Do you want to customize totems, badges, and mascots according to Ben Gua’s image? ?
  Little Guagua's mind was filled with thoughts.

It has ears, but no auricles, otherwise it would be swaying, reflecting its joyful mood at this time.

"This……"

Tang Zheng's eyes froze.

Tang Gu, Zhu Xuedan, Liang Shui and Lou Zhiyi, who were sitting opposite, had strange expressions on their faces.

"Quack??"

The little guy is not happy.

Why, are you looking down on others?

Despite his small size, when five ultimate tornadoes are sealed and thrown out, everyone has to stay far away!
  "It turns out it's called Guagua..."

Tang Zheng blinked and hesitated slightly:
  "It looks very young and cute, so it's perfect to serve as a mascot."

"But...if the dynasty is named after these two words, wouldn't it be a bit childish?"

"The original 'Giant Frog Dynasty' was well-known when word spread, and it had a domineering aura."

"If this were the 'Guagua Dynasty', it wouldn't be a question of being domineering or not, it would have nothing to do with it at all..."

"Yes, Master Han should be careful..."

"The name of the dynasty will affect the destiny of the country. People may not accept the word Guagua..."

A few more people spoke up, piecemeal, trying to restore the future image of the dynasty.

Ye Hanjun chuckled, stretched out his hand to stop their exhortations, and said without moving:
  "I've made up my mind."

"Guagua is basically a frog, and letting it act as the front has all the advantages and no disadvantages."

"Crack! Crack!!"

That’s it! How miserable is this melon?

The little jade frog stood on the table and roared at a group of old men and women, uncles and aunts.

This is its hidden skill - Melon Roar!
  It's not easy to become the guardian beast of a place. If you people interfere again, Ben Gua's high-pressure water cannon will spray it over!
  ……

The Guagua Dynasty was officially established.

It is obviously not appropriate to call the leader of a dynasty "Master Han".

After public discussion, the ministers decided to change their words.

They respectfully called Lord Yehan "Emperor Han" to remember the former Emperor Tang.

Tang Gu and Tang Zheng served as the civil and military prime ministers of the dynasty respectively.

Other people with outstanding positions also seek official positions.

Ye Hanjun didn't bother too much. He followed the annals of princes and emperors' family governance that he had read in his memory... and manually transferred a simplified version of the methods for the operation and management of the dynasty.

He is responsible for guiding the general direction.

The remaining details are all left to the courtiers under my command, and there is no need to pay special attention to them.

"One month later, the chaos of the Three Kingdoms was put down, and the "Opening Ceremony of the Dynasty" was officially held. "

"Yes." The ministers bowed to show their respect.

"In addition, convey a message."

Lord Ye Han sat on the main seat and said condescendingly:

"At the end of the "Opening Ceremony of the Dynasty", the "Daozi Selection" will be carried out simultaneously. "

"The people chosen by me will be trained and protected by me personally, and their treatment will be no less than that of my direct disciples."

"Emperor Han is planning to accept a disciple?"

The ministers of the dynasty who were sitting upright showed their splendor.

The news was extremely sudden.

Earlier, when Lord Han had not yet risen, and he was just staying in Canghai Pavilion, countless students came to succeed him.

They were willing to travel across most of the college and even come from Tianya Mansion next door to listen to his classes.

Now, as the lord of a dynasty, he has just taken the throne, and he is actually planning to recruit disciples?

Smart people immediately think of authority.

They were not sure what Han Jun was thinking, so they immediately asked:

"Emperor Han, what are the strict requirements of this so-called Taoist?"

"Except for special powers such as scholars, other types of powers are not required for those over 50 years old."

"In terms of rank and authority, except for special powers, the third level of other powers must not be lower than D level, the fourth level must not be lower than C level, and the third level should be close to breaking through, and the fourth level must be just now Promotion cannot last more than three months..."

With great eloquence, Ye Hanjun announced the standards of Taoism.

Becoming the leader of a dynasty, in addition to pursuing excellence in trials, is also for the sake of Taoism.

Since being promoted to the 4th level, the "coach" has been upgraded to the "protector". Without being bound to the Taoist, there is no way to grow.

The most ideal plan is definitely to return to the Dark Lantern Abyss and start from the family channels.

But... there are still two years!
  Two years can be said to be long or short.

If he could find a suitable candidate in Giant Frog Pond, he wouldn't want to waste the past two years and would be willing to sacrifice some quality in exchange for the possibility of being promoted to the fifth level one day earlier.

"The requirements of Emperor Han... are quite high!"

"Yes, people who have D-class authority from the beginning are the most popular people everywhere."

"Those who can successfully grow to the top of the third level, or even break through to the fourth level, are the best among people."

"Emperor Han also has strict requirements for age, power level, and rarity of authority...all of which are superimposed. Those who meet the standards are destined to be rare..."

The first ministers of the Guagua Dynasty frowned one by one.

They racked their brains to find out if any of their relatives, friends, brothers and sisters had such "preparatory methods".

Unfortunately, [-]% of the people shook their heads, and their originally very interested eyes gradually dimmed.

But there are also a very small number of people who have a stronger sparkle in their eyes, as if they have thought of a suitable candidate and are gearing up and ready to go.

"I have a hunch that in a month, there will be an unprecedented event!"

"Nonsense, it's a new dynasty, and Emperor Han is recruiting disciples. If the Giant Frog Pond isn't lively, it won't make sense!"

……

End of the meeting.

Ye Hanjun is sitting in the old imperial city, suppressing the remaining chaos while purchasing strange materials to supply Hua Zhu, Goose Immortal, and Mo.

Ejifla also participated.

Even if she ran out of the contract space every time, she would scream and pretend to fight Lord Ye Han.

But Ye Hanjun never fell short of the resources that should be provided.

As for whether Ejifla takes it or uses it, that is another matter.

"Quack?"

One day, a court painter rushed to the old imperial city to paint from Guagua.

There were a bunch of melons arranged in different shapes, and they were enjoying themselves and running around excitedly.

It accidentally broke into the training room of the big tadpole, and then accidentally saw the big iron goose provoking the succubus, and was whipped again by the whip of conquest, causing it to lose its mind.

"Ahhhhh! This is unreasonable!!"

"How can this Great Immortal's great reputation be ruined here!"

After being rescued by the tadpole, the purple magatama in Goose's eyes shattered and he woke up again.

It was so angry that it didn't know how many times it swore poisonous oaths, but one day it would be able to avenge its previous disgrace.

Then... the big iron goose ran to the next room, jumped into a large, cool iron bucket, and performed "goose soaking in the iron bucket".

This is a special ice boiling method, provided by Ye Hanjun.

The ice liquid in the pot is composed of various spiritual materials from heaven and earth, mixed and prepared in precise proportions.

If it was an ice-attributed spirit, it would definitely be very happy.

If it does not belong to the ice system, it is an extreme torture, which can freeze the limbs at least, or freeze the tendons in severe cases, leaving hidden injuries that are difficult to solve.

Even the Goose Immortal, who has perfected his life wheel, started to tremble after soaking for a while, and his mouth started to tremble.

"Quack~~~"

Guagua jumps into the bucket, breaststroke, butterfly stroke, freestyle... there are many tricks.

It opened its big, bright eyes and looked at the big iron goose with a pure expression.

But the big iron goose - that is, the great goose fairy - didn't want to see this little guy who was not only unaffected, but could even draw nutrients from the ice liquid.

"Go... go..."

"This great immortal... this great immortal is refining his mind..."

"How can a mere charm...become the nemesis of this great immortal..."

The method of ice boiling, if you can endure the pain, will indeed help to enhance the power of the soul.

Even though this was a folk remedy, Goose Daxian was still very energetic.

When can it take the initiative to break away from Ejifla's charm at the same level, and when can it regain its confidence.

"boring."

"They are all a bunch of rubbish. Such a world should be destroyed. It has no value in existence at all!"

Ejifla, whose white hair dances wildly, is trapped in the training room by a demon.

The violent killing intent and cold eyes want to destroy everything in front of them.

Ye Hanjun finally understood.

What normal people understand as "world-weariness" is negativity and pessimism, similar to severe depression, and an unwillingness to live anymore.

Ejifla's "world-weariness" is literally what it means.

She hates the whole world equally, and except for herself, who loves herself eternally, she doesn't want to care at all about other creatures or objects, either using them or destroying them.

"You really don't want to eat?"

Lord Ye Han, who was leaning against the wall with his arms folded, interrupted Ejifla's curse with a teasing look on his face:
  "In the sealing stage, you can also steal my life essence to continue your life."

"The seal is broken. You can't forcefully absorb my life essence. If you don't eat regularly, this face... will soon become haggard and shriveled~"

The furious Ajifla's face suddenly changed. She glared at Lord Yehan, her sharp devil teeth rubbing back and forth.

After a while, she said with pure devilish resentment:
  "go out!"

"I don't want to see you, you will affect my mood when eating!"

"..."

Ye Hanjun shrugged, turned and left.

Just think of it as a rebellious little girl. Now is the running-in stage. A little concession will help to correct the relationship.

"Zi!"

After closing the door of the training room, Ye Hanjun leaned against the door and pondered in silence.

The thief Guagua was driven out of the room by the Goose Fairy.

It wasn't angry at all. It was all wet and ran straight to Lord Ye Han's shoulder.

Ye Hanjun held his forehead and watched the little guy roll around twice, wiping all the water stains on his body. He felt proud and suddenly felt that it was fun.

"Quack quack? Gua quack quack!!"

The guardian beast of the dynasty was captured just like that.

Ye Hanjun captured it and scratched it everywhere.

Not to be outdone, the little guy started spitting, specifically aiming at the tadpole's nose.

"Zizzizi..."

A strange sound came from the training room, and everyone stopped immediately.

Guagua blinked, very curious.

Lord Ye Han smiled slightly and covered its eyes to prevent it from peeking in.

The food of the succubi clan is actually a bit cruel.

Normally, when a succubus has sex with its prey, it drains the victim's yang energy.

Although Ejifla is known as the "ancient succubus", she seems not to be able to escape this law.

However, she kept herself clean.

A little stain on your skirt can make you angry enough to kill someone.

It is absolutely impossible for Ejifla to surrender to her blood instinct.

Ye Hanjun guessed that this guy has been fighting against his bloodline since he was a child. The two core personalities of being self-centered and world-weary are the foundation on which she relies.

"Quack? Quack?"

Guagua is asking what the succubus is doing, what a strange movement.

"She's eating."

Ye Hanjun smiled, "She is obsessed with her appearance and beauty, and she cannot accept being withered in body and soul. Maybe we can start from this point and look for opportunities to become partners."

"Quack! Quack!"

Guagua seemed to understand, nodding his head fiercely.

Ye Hanjun continued to explain:

"Because she doesn't accept 'Acacia', it seems she can only steal the life essence from the bodies of living creatures through stupid methods."

"Have you heard the scream of that wild bull? Watching your life force being deprived of your own life, but you still retain your clear consciousness. This experience is tantamount to undergoing a torture before death..."

"Quaa? Gua??"

Guagua tilted her head, unable to understand.

Ye Hanjun was surprised, and then suddenly realized.

In the little guy's cognitive world, the life and death of creatures seem to be natural.

Whether it is a brilliant life or a painful death, it is normal.

Even from childhood to adulthood, Guagua has been irrigated by Ye Hanjun's knowledge system.

But this part is integrated into instinct and remains unchanged from beginning to end.

"That's right, humans have human cognition."

"Jing's beloved spirits are born and raised in the earth, and agreeing with the cycle of destiny does not mean that they despise life, but that they are accustomed to it."

"Quaa?"

Guagua turned into a tadpole and suddenly broke free from his hands.

It used its small body to force its way through the crack in the door.

As a result, a high-decibel scream came from the training room, which echoed for a long time and did not subside.

"Little guy, you're in trouble again!"

Grasping Guagua, who had transformed into a top-notch frog, and holding the smooth back of his neck, three black lines appeared on Lord Yehan's forehead.

All around, purple whip shadows were flying in the sky.

In desperation, he had no choice but to activate the "Circle of Dominance" and forcibly merge with Ajifla to avoid being "dead together".

……

……

One month is fleeting.

There is a D-level "architect master", leading a group of E-level "architects", and a group of F-level "architectural apprentices", working day and night.

The blood stains on the old imperial city have been washed away, and it can be said to be brand new.

Right at the south city gate, a simple but majestic palace was built.

In front of the palace, there are flower corridors, jade steps, musical fountains... all are peaceful and beautiful scenes, attracting passers-by to stop frequently.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is probably the main entrance, walls and eaves of the palace.

Almost everywhere, you can see a small white beast that looks like a jade frog, sometimes lively, sometimes well-behaved, and sometimes noisy.

They became oil paintings, paintings, statues, ornaments... and used various art forms to beautify and decorate the palace.

"Quack quack!!"

Guagua was very satisfied and sat down at the front door to greet the guests, croaking happily and never stopped.

For half a day, people wearing solemn formal attires kept passing by, and the flower gallery in front of the palace was bustling with people coming and going.

Huo Xin, who was holding his head and holding a piece of oxtail grass in his mouth, said leisurely:

"Tsk tsk tsk, Master Han is still awesome."

"I just went to the old imperial city. Not only was the war between the two countries gone, the Red Frog Kingdom also surrendered!"

"The merger of the three kingdoms and the first glimpse of the prosperity and peace of the past are really impressive!"

At the city gate, the all-red flame robes are the most eye-catching.

"I heard that on that day, Master Han single-handedly broke into the Grass Frog Kingdom's camp. One man was so brave that no one could break through."

"It's a pity that we couldn't witness it with our own eyes, which is a bit regretful..."

Tan Ziping looked around, as if moved by the scene, and couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.

"This uniform...could it be that of the Fire Pirates Mercenary Group?"

"One hundred percent! I heard that this mercenary group took orders from Emperor Han and completed many incredible tasks in many places in the Giant Frog Pond during the days when he disappeared!"

The nobles and soldiers coming and going... gave way one after another.

They were startled and confused, and seeing that no one was spying, they simply stopped and observed openly.

"You are so young, only a few of them look mature, the others are just young people..."

"Does that need to be said? Most of them are former students of Canghai Pavilion!"

"It is said that those three heroes and ten heroes have all joined the Fire Stealing Mercenary Group!"

"Otherwise, why do you think Emperor Han is willing to train them? They have talents and are coached by Emperor Han. This is a mutually reinforcing relationship, and both are indispensable!!"

"Hey, hey, sister, I have someone I like, so please stop staring at me."

Huo Xin looked shameless and pointed at Yan Xuehui next to him.

Before Yan Xuehui could get angry, Yu Yu rolled his eyes and kicked him as fast as lightning.

"Huh? I can't kick it!"

Huo Xin laughed loudly, as if there were eyes on the back of his head. He ducked nimbly, which made Yu Yu start to grind his teeth in anger.

"Sususususu..."

The vines suddenly wrapped around his legs, and with a pop, Huo Xin was tied into a rice dumpling, whining and screaming, and was thrown into the dumpling that the Behemoth had just pulled out.

"My Abby only poops once every three days. Can you two little lovers please stop spoiling it?"

Dong Feng, who was about to shovel the shit, blew his hair and stared, his face full of distress.

"Pfft..."

Su Mei covered her mouth and snickered. After carefully looking at Huo Xin's miserable condition, she couldn't even smile from ear to ear.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!"

"The opening of the court ceremony, such a grand event, must have a lot of fine wine!"

"If you keep grinding, I'll leave you behind and go have a taste first!"

Gu Miaoyu, who was riding a wine spider, was in a rare state of sobriety.

But her manic excitement seemed to burst from her pores.

His eyes seemed to be sealed with little stars, and he didn't want to wait for a moment.

"Boom! Boom!"

Ren Wo Kuang, who walks normally, is always a giant among the crowd, and is the center of attention wherever he goes.

"Roar!!"

Dongfang Xu, who rides a three-tailed red flame tiger, has fiery red hair.

With his burly shoulders and bulging arms, even if he cannot be compared with Ren Wo Kuang, he is still a strong man.

Facing the scorching sun at noon, he raised his head and stared at the palace not far away.

A bright light gradually appeared in those red-as-fire pupils.

The day of revenge...has finally come.
