The Deepest Affection in Qin's Time

Rather than doing that, it's better to be honest and straightforward.

At the very least, in his rage, Ying Zheng would severely punish him, but he probably wouldn't behead him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gao quickly organized his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, Cao Yuan says he will be holding his wedding next spring and would like to invite Your Majesty to attend."

After hearing Zhao Gao's words, Ying Zheng was stunned for a long time, seemingly trying to understand and digest what Zhao Gao meant.

After a long silence, Ying Zheng calmly said, "Very well, I will definitely be there when the time comes."

Zhao Gao lowered his head even further, as if he wanted to shrink his head into his stomach.

How could he not hear the intense killing intent hidden beneath Ying Zheng's calm tone?

Fortunately, it seems that Ying Zheng does not intend to punish him.

"Summon Lü Buwei to the palace to see me."

Ying Zheng waved his hand and decided to summon Lü Buwei, intending to first pacify the internal situation before dealing with external threats.

Even if it's risky, we won't delay any longer.

Time flies, and we've arrived in the depths of winter.

Cao Yuan was making love with the Moon Goddess inside the mansion.

Ever since the Moon Goddess learned that his power truly came from the Bronze Treasure Box, her attitude towards him underwent a complete 180-degree turn.

On the surface, she remained cold and aloof towards him, but in private, she was very proactive, to the point that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it flattery.

Ultimately, it was the Moon Goddess who coveted the bronze treasure box in Cao Yuan's possession and wanted to get a share of it from him.

For this reason, the Moon Goddess did not hesitate to make love with Cao Yuan every day and eat the soup made by Cao Yuan every day.

He even dragged Yan Fei into the mess, while Yan Fei was completely unaware that her beloved junior sister had already fallen for him. She was kept in the dark, only thinking that her junior sister wanted her to get together with Cao Yuan so that she could escape from here.

It wasn't until Yanfei noticed that her junior sister was acting increasingly strangely and her belly was getting bigger that she suddenly realized that her junior sister had already been having an affair with Cao Yuan.

But by then, it was too late for Yanfei to regret it, because she was pregnant too.

The date of the start of spring is not fixed.

Around mid-February in the lunar calendar.

After the Awakening of Insects, all things revive.

After a winter of bloodshed and turmoil, the Qin state gradually returned to peace.

The story ended with Lü Buwei voluntarily submitting a memorial requesting to resign and return to his hometown to live out his remaining years.

At this point, all power in the Qin state fell into the hands of Ying Zheng.

This was something that all six kingdoms found somewhat unbelievable.

But Cao Yuan was not surprised.

With the full support of Donghuang Taiyi, Ying Zheng could achieve anything he set his mind to.

The winter snow had not long since melted, and there was still a chill in the air in early spring.

In the main bedroom of the Cao family mansion, Cao Yuan took out the seventh bronze treasure box.

After several months of training and consolidation, he had enough to improve his strength once again.

Surrounded by women, Cao Yuan was instantly filled with a vibrant and alluring atmosphere.

Looking at the seventh bronze treasure box in front of him, Cao Yuan was filled with emotion.

Almost three years have passed since he opened the first bronze box.

Today we're finally going to open the last one.

Cao Yuan took a deep breath and, without hesitation, decisively opened the bronze treasure box.

With a click, the bronze box slowly opened, erecting a semi-transparent light barrier. Instantly, a rich spiritual energy surged out, filling the entire room.

The Moon Goddess couldn't resist any longer and began absorbing spiritual energy to cultivate.

She had eaten Cao Yuan's soup and rice for more than four months to obtain this spiritual energy, so how could she waste even a single drop!

As the Moon Goddess began, the other women also started absorbing spiritual energy to cultivate.

Cao Yuan also fell into meditation and began to inhale and exhale spiritual energy.

He didn't pin his hopes on breaking through this time, after all, the gap between the Celestial Realm and the Immortal God Realm was too great, so great that it couldn't be bridged by the spiritual energy of a few bronze treasure boxes.

However, Cao Yuan was unaware that after he opened the seventh bronze treasure box, the seven constellations of the Azure Dragon in the starry sky simultaneously shone brightly and then dimmed.

Meanwhile, in the Shu region.

The seal on the Yu Yuan land, which had been sealed for thousands of years, loosened, and demonic energy soared into the sky, blotting out the sun.

At the same time, as Cao Yuan was cultivating, his unique celestial form gradually emerged behind him.

The originally blurry image of the woman gradually became clearer, lifelike, and just like a real person.

This time, the female Dharma image did not dissipate as before, but remained motionless behind Cao Yuan.

Even after the barrier dissipated and the women awoke, the woman had not disappeared.

The women looked at the female dharma image behind Cao Yuan, exchanging puzzled glances.

Cao Yuan seemed oblivious, as if he had entered a state of enlightenment, remaining motionless and still immersed in his cultivation.

Time passed, and three days went by without Cao Yuan waking up. The female dharma image behind Cao Yuan showed no signs of disappearing.

The heavily pregnant women were extremely anxious, but there was nothing they could do but continue to wait.

Ten days later, news came from Qin that Ying Zheng had dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops, aiming his sword at Han. At that moment, Cao Yuan, who was immersed in cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes.

The female dharma image behind Cao Yuan seemed to come alive, gently patting Cao Yuan's back with her jade hand.

In an instant, the sky above Xinzheng was filled with turbulent clouds.

The seven constellations of the Azure Dragon, which had been dim in the starry sky, seemed to come alive again, shining brightly and forming a pillar of spiritual energy that reached the heavens and the earth, shooting straight into the sky and landing on Cao Yuan.

"Rumble..."

A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth.

It felt like the end of the world, causing fear and unease among everyone in Xinzheng and even throughout South Korea.

At that very moment, Cao Yuan suddenly shot into the heavens and disappeared.

He left only one sentence for the women: "Wait for my return."

The women looked worried, wondering why Cao Yuan had left.

At the same time, Ying Zheng issued a royal decree in the Xianyang Palace, ordering his troops to attack Han.

In an instant, the entire world underwent a dramatic change.

Cao Yuan, however, remained indifferent to these matters, staring intently at the unfathomable Yu Abyss beneath the Shu region.

Until the last bronze box was opened.

It wasn't until he entered the realm of immortals and gods with the help of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden that he finally understood everything.

It turns out that the beautiful customer was none other than the Goddess Jiutian Xuannv.

What he called a "golden finger" was actually a key given to him by the Goddess of the Nine Heavens to open the bronze treasure box.

This is why he inexplicably transmigrated to the world of martial arts.

As for why the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden chose him, he had no idea.

But he knew that if he didn't deal with the trouble below now, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"roar~"

A deafening roar echoed from the depths of Yu Yuan.

"Destroy everything! Destroy all of it!"

Cao Yuan sneered, "Chi You, you're already acting up as soon as you come out. Do you want to die?"

As soon as Cao Yuan finished speaking, a massive figure shrouded in black energy rushed out from the depths of Yu Yuan.

"Sword, come!"

Chi You roared.

Thousands of miles away in the ancient land of Loulan, where the Demon God of War was sealed, a crack suddenly appeared, and demonic energy soared into the sky. A long sword shot into the sky, piercing the clouds, and disappeared.

As if passing through a spatial barrier, they appeared in the sky above Yu Yuan in an instant.

Cao Yuan remained completely calm.

Confucius said, "A gentleman is not a vessel; everything can be used as a sword!"

Cao Yuan drastically altered the Analects, and with a single wave of his arm, all things in heaven and earth—plants, insects, fish, mountains, forests, and mist—transformed into sharp swords, sweeping across the land and slashing down upon Chi You.

Perhaps because Chi You had been sealed away for so long, his strength was far less than before. Cao Yuan shattered the black mist surrounding Chi You with just one move, revealing his true form...

"Ok?"

Cao Yuan's eyes widened.

Is this Chi You?

Are you sure it's not Chi You's mount, the Iron-Eating Beast?

A creature with a憨态可掬 (simple and honest appearance) look, but with its claws bared, was spinning in mid-air.

"Hero, spare my life! Hero, spare my life!" the Iron-Eating Beast wailed. "I am not Chi You, I am merely his mount, waaaaah~"

Cao Yuan was speechless, feeling both amused and exasperated.

He raised his hand and cast a sealing spell, sealing the spiritual power within the Iron-Eating Beast's body.

Why did you impersonate Chi You?

The iron-eating beast trembled and said, "My old master told me to do this, waah~"

Cao Yuan asked, puzzled, "Why did he ask you to do this?"

The iron-eating beast cried out in distress, "I don't know either, waaaaah~"
