I, the mortal, come from the great world of Xuanhuang

"Your Majesty, look at this. I told you to leave, but you didn't want to. I told you to leave, but you didn't want me to. If I don't leave, you keep bothering me and insisting that I help you. Isn't this behavior too domineering? You keep saying that I'm too domineering, but I think you're even more domineering than me. Isn't that right? I think everything you've done is actually quite stupid. You could have talked to me about this in a nice way, even though I wouldn't have agreed."

Fang Yu spread his hands, looking helpless, which made the Empress laugh in exasperation.

"Don't you think what you're saying is utterly shameless? We've said so much to you before, but when have you ever listened? You've never listened. No matter how many nice things we say, you've never listened. Isn't that just you going too far? It's not that we're being too domineering; it's that you're going too far."

"That's why I told you I wouldn't help at all, but you just wouldn't believe me and insisted on my help, dragging me into it. I've already made it very clear. No matter what you say, no matter how many nice things you say, it has nothing to do with me, and I absolutely won't help. If I help you, it would mean disrupting my original plans. It's not that I can't help, but you have to listen to me. If you don't listen to me, do you think I'm a fool? Am I a fool? How could I possibly agree to such a shameless condition? Let alone others..." "Tell me, Your Majesty, the most powerful and virtuous empress in the world, if you encountered such a situation, would you possibly go to great lengths to help? Absolutely not, right? You wouldn't even acknowledge them. Just like me, I wouldn't acknowledge them either. I'd only acknowledge them if my head was kicked by a door—no, I should say my head was kicked by a donkey! Look at you, you've made me so angry I can't even speak properly. Under these circumstances, how can you expect me to help? I can't help, because my head hasn't been kicked by a door, or rather, squeezed by a door."

"Under these circumstances, how could I possibly be willing to help? I can't help, so don't even think about it. Don't overthink it. All that useless talk is pointless to me. Say whatever you want, do whatever you want, and don't think about those messy things. Because no matter how much you think about those messy things, you can't change one thing, which is what I have to do. You can't change what I have to do, and you simply won't listen to me. So don't try to change what I have to do, because it has nothing to do with you, really nothing to do with you."

"If you say it has nothing to do with us, then you should know that all of this is related to us, and that it is extremely related to us. You should be very clear about that."

"I said it has nothing to do with you, and it definitely has nothing to do with you. So what you think is none of my business. If you think it's related to you, then it's related to you. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me. It's not difficult for me at all, really not difficult at all, absolutely impossible. So you just need to do as I say, and I will definitely help you, absolutely I will help you. But what have you done? Not only have you not done as I said, but you have repeatedly tried to destroy me. This is absolutely impossible. You know this very well, but you just refuse to believe it. Since you don't..." If you're willing to believe me, then what else is there to say? There really is nothing more to say. Do whatever you want, just don't cause me any trouble. If you insist on causing me trouble, then I can only say one thing: your heads have been smashed. Really, your heads have been smashed, absolutely smashed. So, you should know what I mean, right? In this situation, if you don't want your heads, I can send them to your homes and have your families prepare coffins for you. What can you say then? A peaceful burial, or a quick end to your lives—anyway, it will be a better ending for you.”

"Anyway, as long as you do as I say, you will definitely achieve your goals smoothly. But if you don't do as I say, there will only be one outcome: death. So don't even think about asking me for help. Because if you can't meet my requirements and do what I ask, what's the use of telling me all this? Absolutely none. So you just need to listen to me. But what's the reality? The reality is that you haven't listened to me at all. Really, you've never listened to me. Since you've already stopped listening to me, what can I say? I can't say anything. I can only watch you go to the Yellow Springs sooner, walk the road to the Yellow Springs, and die as cleanly as possible. That's a good thing for me, isn't it? Am I right? That's a great thing for me. We don't lose out, we don't owe each other anything, we don't have to say anything bad about each other, we don't have to curse each other, right? In this situation, you're good, I'm good, everyone's good."

"You don't need to ramble on about this nonsense. Just tell me if you're willing to help. Aside from obeying your orders, I can consider and agree to any other conditions."

"What are you talking about? You ask me for help but you won't listen to me. What do you think your brains are? I think my brain is perfectly fine. I think we should try to understand each other properly, instead of talking nonsense here. But sometimes I'm just bored and I think it's nice to talk nonsense with you guys."

"It's actually a very good thing that I'm saying all this nonsense, really, it's a very good thing that I'm saying all this nonsense, really. I'm not saying anything pointless, but telling you a fact, a fact that you must recognize, and I hope you can understand it a little, and I hope you can understand it more, and not think I'm making trouble out of nothing. I really don't have the time to make trouble for you here, I'm too lazy to do it, I'm too lazy to do these things, these things don't do me any good at all, as long as it's not beneficial, I can't be bothered with it, don't you think that makes sense? I think that's the truth, since that's the truth, there's nothing more to say, really nothing more to say, there's no need to say these things, what's the use of saying these things, not even a little bit."

"Since it's utterly useless, I won't bother saying or doing these pointless things. These things are of no benefit or use to me whatsoever. So, just do what you need to do and stop thinking about me, Your Majesty. You should think about yourself instead of us. Thinking about us is completely useless, utterly useless. Otherwise, you wouldn't be in this state. Telling us these things is unnecessary and pointless. If it were even slightly useful, you wouldn't be in this predicament. Unfortunately, it's truly useless, which is a real pity. It's so regrettable, even I feel it's a great pity. It seems there's no benefit to be gained. But I know you have your own solutions, and I truly envy you. I envy you so much; no one envies you more than I do."

"Go do what you're supposed to do. Don't talk to me like this. It's useless, absolutely useless. If it were even slightly useful, you wouldn't be bothering me like this. Actually, besides the Queen, there are other people here, but Her Majesty doesn't realize it. Who are they? They've been watching our conversation, watching us, but I haven't let them see. Really, I just want Her Majesty to focus on what you're supposed to do. I know this is a very difficult thing. I also know it's something the Queen must do. Not doing this would be the end for her. The Queen understands this very well. To be honest, I understand this too, but there's no other way. I have absolutely no other solution. If there were even the slightest way, I wouldn't be in this situation. Don't you think that's why I'm in this state? I understand this, and I hope you can understand this too. This is truly a good thing for me, a very good thing."

"No matter what you think, this is what I think. No matter what you believe, this is what I believe. Do whatever you want, think whatever you want, don't think about those things, and don't care about those things."

“You should think carefully about what to do instead of bothering me here. No matter how much you bother me, it won’t do any good. It won’t do any good at all. I just hope you can understand this and stop thinking about those things.”

“Your Majesty, no one understands your suffering better than me. No one truly understands what you have been through better than me. I know the pain of killing the one you love with your own hands. The pain of killing the one you love with your own hands is indescribable. It is beyond the power of words to describe.”

"I don't know how to describe it, I don't know what to do, but some things are just too difficult. I don't know how you could bring yourself to do that, but I understand your pain, that kind of pain is truly indescribable. The reason that pain is indescribable is probably because I lack knowledge. But I know that kind of pain is too difficult, really too difficult. Okay, okay, I've already made myself clear to the Queen, and I hope you can leave quickly. Don't say those things to me here anymore, you won't listen to me, but sometimes I have to speak up. You won't understand what I mean, but I still have to say it, because only by saying it will I feel a sense of relief, a relief that is unimaginable, a relief that is truly unimaginable. That relief is really comfortable, to be honest, it's so comfortable, completely unimaginable comfort. I don't know how to describe this feeling of relief, but I know that sometimes I really need to face these things, really face them."

"Your Majesty, you should face these things properly. You shouldn't run away anymore. You really shouldn't run away; there's absolutely no need to. If you run away, you'll never find the answer. If you can't find the answer, then don't even think about doing it. Because if you don't even know how to find the answer, how can you do what you should do? Don't you agree? What is the answer? It's always been in your heart, but you're unwilling to face it. To be honest, I'm also unwilling to face those rumors. There's really no need to face those rumors. If you don't have that thought, then don't even think about facing them. Those things aren't for us to think about or face; they're for them to think about and face. What does it have to do with us, right?"

"So, Your Majesty, you should think carefully about what I've said. You should ask yourself if you truly have a solution. If you don't, then stop overthinking. No matter how much you overthink, it won't solve anything. There really isn't a solution, absolutely none. So I hope you can remain rational and face what you must face. Some things you must confront; only then can you become strong enough, only then can you become incomparably strong, only then can you truly solve the problems you must solve." (End of Chapter)
