Spiritual energy resurgence? My former empress wife has also revived!

"Sister Lou, Sister Jiang!"

Upon entering the East Lake Villa, Qin Shishi immediately saw Lou Guanxue and Jiang Zhi, whom she had only met once but who seemed strangely familiar.

The reason I'm familiar with them is because of those two long animated series, which almost tell the whole story of these two fairy queens.

Qin Shishi was not stupid. Based on various clues and everything that happened in the Western Pacific Sword Debate that day.

After learning Lou Guanxue's identity, she guessed that the Sister Jiang she met at the graduation banquet that day must be the legendary Empress.

Before coming here, Qin Shishi had already prepared herself to see Lou Guanxue and Jiang Zhi in person.

Therefore, she was not surprised to see the two of them. Instead, she felt a sense of surprise and curiosity, as if a legend had come to life and characters from an anime had appeared in front of her.

Lou Guanxue gently sat on the armrest of the sofa.

Jiang Zhi sat close to Qin Zijun, their bodies almost touching.

Qin Shishi's address drew the attention of Lou Guanxue and Jiang Zhi.

Even though the two of them were trying their best to restrain their aura and presence.

But being gazed at by those two beautiful eyes still inexplicably made Qin Shishi feel a deep sense of awe, as if her heart had suddenly tightened.

Two pairs of eyes, one cold and aloof, the other majestic and imposing, gave Qin Shishi completely different feelings.

But the two women's equally stunning beauty evoked a sense of closeness in Qin Shishi, a woman, amidst her envy.

People all love beauty and pursue beauty.

Men are attracted to stunningly beautiful women, and women are equally drawn to being close to pretty girls.

It's a kind of enjoyment, an instinctive, genetic expectation and longing for something beautiful.

Jiang Churou suppressed her extreme excitement.

Lou Guanxue had seen it with her own eyes, and even spent a day with the other party at Disneyland, and saw the real Wan Jian Gui Zong on the roof of that apartment building.

Jiang Churou felt genuine gratitude towards Sister Lou.

If it weren't for Sister Lou, I wouldn't even be thinking about cultivating immortality right now. My soul would probably have been invited into the "Human Emperor Banner" and become a magical artifact that could be manipulated by others.

One's own body must also become a tool for "giving," to be used by strangers as a vessel for dual cultivation.

In Jiang Churou's heart, Lou Guanxue was the benefactor who changed her life and saved her life.

She stood obediently at the door and called out, "Sister Lou."

He then secretly glanced to the side and saw Jiang Zhi, who was wearing a brocade palace dress, slightly shorter than Lou Guanxue, and with an air of authority in her eyes.

Is that the legendary Empress of the Great Yan?

He had actually met the living Empress of the Great Yan!

Since Lou Guanxue was known to the world as a real person, the Great Yan Empress Jiang has also long been considered to be a real person.

Although the Sword Immortal has many fans online nowadays, his prestige seems to surpass that of the Empress.

But if the Empress were to actually appear, the balance of power between the two sides would likely be reversed once again.

That's not some empress representing 'female power'.

Rather, the people of the Xia dynasty have always had a strong admiration and pursuit of stories of people who started from nothing but strived for success.

Clearly, the story of the Great Yan Empress was more in line with the aesthetics and preferences of the Chinese people.

However, this empress is different from the sword immortal; she is too low-key, and apart from that long animated series, no one has actually seen her.

She has that kind of Chinese style; those who are involved in politics are very serious, rarely appear in public, and cannot idolize themselves.

"Shishi, come over here."

Lou Guanxue and Jiang Zhi both greeted Qin Shishi.

As for Jiang Churou, Lou Guanxue was slightly more enthusiastic towards her.

But Miss Jiang's mood was rather indifferent.

Having been an empress for so many years, Miss Jiang is used to being fawned over by others. Unless someone is an exceptionally talented person, she will not lower herself to approach them.

Qin Shishi is Qin Zijun's relative, so she'll be more enthusiastic, but Miss Jiang has no interest in Jiang Churou, a complete stranger.

Jiang Churou naturally had no complaints.

The Empress just nodded to her, and Jiang Churou was already flattered.

Qin Zijun then spoke up, "It's lunchtime right now. You two are very punctual. Miss Jiang, please have someone bring the food up."

Miss Jiang showed no dissatisfaction what Qin Zijun felt about treating her like a servant.

For her, this was actually proof of their closeness.

Husbands and wives were supposed to treat each other with the utmost respect, but that was in ancient times.

In modern times, we should be even closer.

Miss Jiang summoned her "secretary" Pang Wanyi and had the prepared food served.

Today's meal was prepared by a Michelin-starred Chinese cuisine chef brought by Ms. Jiang.

Crispy young pigeon, golden crispy ribbonfish, fish maw and yellow croaker soup, braised abalone and pork belly, and stir-fried bean noodles with garlic.

Every dish is fresh and flavorful, showcasing the master's culinary skills.

After the meal, almond cookies were served, and everyone ate to their heart's content.

Qin Zijun felt something was missing: "The chef's skills are good, but the ingredients are not good."

Miss Jiang continued, "The ingredients are all air-freighted in to be the freshest. If you, little monk, still think the ingredients are not good, then they are lacking a bit of 'celestial aura'."

Qin Zijun smiled and said, "Miss Jiang understands me best. Now that I have attracted spiritual energy from all directions of the universe to this separate palace, I can cultivate some 'celestial beings'."

Upon hearing his words, Miss Jiang's eyes crinkled into a smile, and she chuckled, "Little monk, are you planning to grow vegetables and raise pigs here?"

"I'm just doing some basic work; someone else will take over the rest."

Qin Zijun's gaze inadvertently drifted towards the sky.

He has a personal 'maid'.

Under his strict tutelage, the other woman became proficient in needlework and cooking, never complained about washing clothes or cooking, and was even an expert in planting vegetables, fertilizing, carrying manure and raising pigs.

Of course, we have to bring her back to life and then drag her onto this planet.

At that time, I had someone to take care of me.

Miss Jiang and Lou Guanxue didn't think that much about it.

They assumed that Qin Zijun was planning to hire servants to do these tasks.

As for Qin Shishi and Jiang Churou, upon hearing Qin Zijun and Miss Jiang address each other, they secretly thought that they were indeed the male and female protagonists in "The Legend of the Empress".

"Little Monk" and "Miss Jiang" were terms of address used only by the two of them.

After the meal, Lou Guanxue stood up and said, "Chu Rou, come with me for a moment, I have something to say to you."

Jiang Churou, who had been well-behaved and silent all along, suddenly became excited.

coming!

Sister Lou, I guess she's going to teach me how to cultivate Taoism!

She nodded to Qin Shishi, suppressing her extreme excitement, and left the central villa with Lou Guanxue, heading to a villa not far away.

Qin Zijun also spoke up, "Miss Jiang, I know you have things to do, so please go ahead and attend to your own business."

"And Shishi, I know you have many things you want to ask me. Come to the bedroom with me."

Miss Jiang had many things to deal with. She smiled and nodded to Qin Zijun, then called Pang Wanyi over and went to the study on the first floor to handle work matters.

Qin Shishi nervously walked up the elevator with Qin Zijun to the sunny bedroom on the second floor of the villa.

The bedroom also features a minimalist style, exuding luxury within its tranquility, while the details incorporate gold and silver objects to symbolize majesty.

This is the highest point in this man-made mountain. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bedroom, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the shimmering East Lake in the distance.

Qin Shishi turned her gaze away from the clean French windows.

The scenery is beautiful, but it has more problems than it does.

"Brother, you..."

After carefully considering her words, Qin Shishi still felt very confused and didn't know how to express herself.

Qin Zijun poured her a glass of water and said with a smile, "Do you feel like your worldview is collapsing, or even that you're dreaming?"

Qin Shishi breathed a sigh of relief; she had this strange feeling.

After stealing a glance at Qin Zijun and finding that her older brother seemed unchanged from the past, she became bolder.

Qin Shishi poured out her anxieties and worries of the past few days, and finally asked her biggest question: "Brother, when exactly did Sister Jiang and Sister Lou's story take place?"

"I also watched those two animated series, but they don't seem to have anything to do with the history and legends of the Chinese nation."

"No, it's not that they're unrelated, but they're completely mismatched. If those two dramas were real, wouldn't that mean Sister Lou and Sister Jiang have lived for a very long time?"

This is probably the strangest question for all ordinary people who know about the existence of the cultivation world.

The combined age of Lou Guanxue and Jiang Zhi is longer than the entire history of the Chinese nation.

Could there really have been an ancient mythological period?

Qin Zijun gave Qin Shishi a brief explanation of the matter of "reincarnated beings".

This is also the only thing the government exposed, which was the cultivators, but not the secret of the reincarnated ones!

"As for the stories you've seen, they seem to be related to some historical legends."

"The reality is quite the opposite."

"According to my research, the mythology of the entire Earth is related to the cultivation world of another existence."

"The two worlds should have been connected long ago. Some concepts from the other world came to Earth, and these concepts were accepted by the ancient people of Earth. Through some localization and adaptation, Earth's historical legends came into being."

Qin Zijun expressed her thoughts, which were also the conclusions reached by the government when studying ancient myths and legends.

"Take Ms. Jiang, whom you know, for example. She was in the Kunlun Mountains when she was still lying in her coffin."

"King Mu of Zhou once visited that place and was influenced by it, which led to the legends about the Queen Mother of the West in later generations."

"This does not mean that Miss Jiang is the Queen Mother of the West. The prototype of the Queen Mother of the West is probably a mixture of many female cultivators in the cultivation world."

"These messages from female cultivators in the cultivation world appeared on Earth, which led to ancient myths and legends."

This is essentially an invasion and confusion of information.

After Qin Zijun was reincarnated, she conducted some research on the planet beneath her feet in order to find out about the existence of the reincarnated person.

What is certain is that the conclusions reached by geographers and historians are correct.

This planet is over four billion years old, but humankind has only existed for a million years, and the emergence of civilization and the recording of history are only recent occurrences within the last ten thousand years.

In other words, over the past four billion years, Earth has experienced various eras and produced various ancient organisms.

But there are no 'immortals and gods', no so-called mythology.

This planet still operates according to the most basic physical and scientific laws.

The reason why various myths and legends, and even concepts such as cultivation, immortality, and gods, exist is due to the invasion and information mixing from another world.

Some of the names in Chinese mythology and legends may very well be practitioners from another world.

For example, there is also the image of "Donghuang Taiyi" as a celestial deity in the Nine Songs system among the various Xia people, but the concept of "Donghuang Taiyi" may very well have come from himself!

They are all modern people with a strong ability to absorb knowledge from all aspects.

With Qin Zijun's detailed explanation, Qin Shishi quickly reconstructed a new worldview.

She hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, "So, brother, are you also a reincarnated person?"

Qin Zijun smiled wryly.

As expected, Qin Shishi's worries were the same as Yin Hang's worries back then.

They suspected that the real "Qin Zijun" had died long ago, and that they were just a reincarnation, a substitute.

Qin Zijun shook her head and said, "No, I am different from other reincarnated individuals."

"They are reincarnated, or more accurately, time travelers."

Qin Shishi's mouth dropped open: "A time traveler?"

"Yes, I am a time traveler," Qin Zijun briefly recounted her experience to her. "You can think of it as me traveling from modern society to the cultivation world, and then traveling back from the cultivation world."

Qin Shishi immediately understood: "So, brother, those three months you were paralyzed were actually time travel?"

This type of fantasy theme has appeared in Chinese online novels and Japanese anime. Once explained clearly, Qin Shishi will understand instantly.

"Don't use such an unpleasant word as 'paralyzed,' I'm just experiencing a grand adventure in another world."

Qin Zijun smiled and flicked Qin Shishi on the forehead.

Qin Shishi let out a thud, covered her forehead with her hand, and glared fiercely at Qin Zijun.

Qin Zijun's answer put her mind at ease about what she was most worried about.

With her worries gone, Qin Shishi immediately became excited: "Then, brother, can I also cultivate?"

"Yes, you have the talent for cultivation."

"As your sister, no, your niece, am I not exceptionally talented in cultivation, the kind of person whose sect patriarch would kneel before me and beg me to become the sect's holy maiden?"

Qin Shishi had already begun to fantasize about her invincible figure in the Daoist path, and was about to exclaim that she had no equal in the world.

Qin Zijun gave her a strange look and said regretfully, "Unfortunately, your talent for cultivation is very average, even poor."

"It's probably like the sect's patriarch dislikes you and makes you a sect servant, carrying manure and watering vegetables every day, and if you're lucky, you might eventually become an outer disciple."

Qin Shishi's face immediately fell.

This isn't what I imagined!

Qin Zijun couldn't help but laugh: "The purpose of cultivation is to achieve longevity and immortality; magic and supernatural powers are merely means to protect one's path."

"Fighting is a matter of courage and aggression, which is something that cultivators should avoid at all costs."

"Cultivating Tao is not a happy thing. It is very bitter and tiring. You could say that you have given up everything in order to achieve immortality."

"But some people are killed along the way, or they lack the talent and end up dying, having gained nothing in their lives."

Qin Zijun spoke of a heavy topic, yet her tone was light: "So, Shishi, if you want to cultivate, I can teach you. As for what level you will achieve, you don't need to worry too much."

"Guanxue and Miss Jiang have given you magical treasures that are enough to protect you. As the spiritual energy recovers, they will give you even more powerful magical treasures to protect you."

"And I have some knowledge of alchemy. Even if you don't cultivate the Dao, I can give you all kinds of pills to make you live for many years and allow you to achieve immortality in another way."

Qin Shishi felt depressed.

This is not what she expected.

She wanted to be a first-generation successor, starting from scratch.

Instead of being a second-generation rich kid who relies on his elders to force-feed him medicine.

She muttered, "You say cultivating the Tao is very hard and tiring, but I don't see you doing it very happily."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zijun spoke softly. He stood up and went to the French windows, looking at the scattered lights of East Lake in the distance, and sighed, "Actually, I have never felt happy while cultivating the Tao."

Qin Shishi rolled her eyes.

I think you're making a meme!

Go ahead and pretend, I know you're just showing off, bro!
