I really didn't want to burn it.

Ritsuka bit her lip, realizing that the conversation might be about to fall apart.

As expected, Li Ang, who looked up again, said the last thing Ritsuka wanted to hear.

"Fujimaru Ritsuka, I have no intention of giving up the Great Qin."

Li Ang deliberately curled the corners of his mouth arrogantly.

"This Qin Dynasty was built by Li Ang and Ying Zheng together, and I will never give it up."

Li Ang deliberately mentioned the name of his old friend to attract Ritsuka's attention.

However, the name Ying Zheng provoked a strong reaction from a servant on the Chaldea side.

"Mast!"

Jing Ke, who was standing behind Ritsuka, stepped forward and drew the dagger from his waist.

"Is it always like this! Imposing your will on others! You Qin people, especially that tyrant!"

Li Ang ignored the wailing of this defeated dog; he had heard the remnants of the six states say such things far too often during his decades in the Qin Dynasty.

"Fujimaru Ritsuka, I won't lay a hand on you here. Take your Heroic Spirit and leave."

Li Ang announced in a commanding tone, "The foundational value of humanity in this singularity is not high yet. Go and conquer the other singularities first. While you are conquering the other singularities, I will come up with a way to make the two worlds coexist."

Jing Ke immediately retorted loudly, "That kind of situation simply doesn't exist! Do you even know what the current situation is?!"

Li Ang sighed helplessly.

"You guys are really self-centered and won't listen to anyone else."

Jing Ke pointed the dagger at Li Ang: "I'll return those words to you verbatim!"

"Mast, shall we make a move?"

Attila asked Ritsuka at Christmas.

Ritsuka clenched her hands nervously, her face full of conflict.

Even if his two followers could actually kill Li Ang here, the defense line against the Xiongnu in Yunzhong would definitely collapse.

That was the last thing Ritsuka wanted to see.

Koyanskaya, on the other hand, was very interested; she really hoped that Leon and Chaldea would fight each other.

Li Ang, on the other hand, appeared very confident, showing no fear in the face of the two imposing heroic spirits.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Li Ang said "Please come in," and the door was opened.

DD and Xiang Yu walked in, followed by Mashu.

"senior!"

Mashu was overjoyed to see Ritsuka, but just as she was about to hug her senior, Xiang Yu stopped her.

DD glanced at the positions of the people in the room and immediately stood in front of Li Ang.

"What do you want to do to the master?"

DD drew his twin swords and questioned the Chaldea side.

Now, the tense atmosphere in the room intensified.

"Meow?"

Phil, who had been nestled in Mashu's arms, suddenly sat up, squinting as he stared intently at everyone present, as if trying to understand what had happened.

"Fufu!"

A small white dog suddenly appeared next to Fujimaru Ritsuka and barked twice at Mash.

"Fou!" Mashu exclaimed in surprise.

However, Fou wasn't very happy. After discovering that her personal mount, Mash, had been taken over by a cat, she immediately meowed at Phil twice.

"Fufu!"

Fou jumped onto Mashu's shoulder and patted Phil's body with its paw, signaling him to roll off its marshmallow.

"Meow~"

Phil lazily swatted away Fou's paws.

"Fufu!"

Seeing that she was being looked down upon by a cat, Fufu got angry and jumped up to kick Phil.

"Meow!"

Phil was also angered by Fou's provocation and lashed out at Fou with his tail.

As the most honored cat master in the Qin Empire, no other animal had ever dared to treat him like this.

Fou was slapped, regained her balance, and jumped to the ground by stepping on Mashu's thigh.

"Fufu!"

"Meow!"

The commotion of the two small animals immediately drew the attention of Li Ang, Ritsuka, and the others, but all they saw were two shadowy figures, one black and one white, jumping around in the room.

The room erupted in chaos, with the sounds of tables and chairs being smashed echoing through the room, accompanied by the "super fierce" roars of Fufu and Phil.

"what!"

Mashu was startled.

These two little guys were perfectly well-behaved when they were in my arms, so why are they suddenly so restless?

"Is she a femme fatale in the pet world?"

Looking at the bewildered Mash, Li Ang commented softly.

Chapter 12 Brother Zheng: Hahaha, Great Qin, your emperor has returned!

The tense atmosphere in the room instantly disappeared after Fufu and Phil did that, and even became a little comical.

Neither side, which was initially on the verge of conflict, expected that the atmosphere would so dramatically deteriorate and a fight would be lost.

Everyone in the room frowned, their expressions shifting between laughter and helplessness.

Adhering to the belief that if one's attempt to show off backfires, as long as one shifts the blame to others, then one will not be the one embarrassed, Li Ang remained remarkably calm.

The Chaldea side didn't have the same composure as Leon. Ritsuka slapped her face, practically screaming "I want to die!"

"Fei'er, if you want to play, go out and play."

"Meow~"

Phil immediately ran to the door and beckoned to Fou with his paw.

"Fufu!"

Fufu was drawn to Phil's taunting skills and pounced on it.

So the two furry little guys ran outside, making a ruckus all the way.

"Meow!"

"Fufu!"

Late at night, the shrill barking of pets coming from outside was very eerie.

Once the noise had faded away, Li Ang said with a formulaic smile, "Sorry, my pet is a bit naughty. Everyone from Chaldea, let's continue."

"Humph!"

Jing Ke trembled all over, and she angrily tucked the dagger into her bosom. She wanted to say something, but anything she said in this situation would only make her feel incredibly awkward.

But if you hold back for a while, you'll only get angrier; if you back down, you'll only feel like you've lost out.

Finally, Jing Ke could only vent his frustration by saying one sentence.

"You Qin people are truly despicable!"

Li Ang shrugged.

Your Jing Ke's accusations against the Qin Dynasty in the Type-Moon universe as despicable have nothing to do with my Qin Empire.

"Anyway, that's what happened."

Li Ang gave Ritsuka the order to leave.

"Ying Zheng entrusted this country to me, so naturally I must take responsibility for it. I will find a way to save this world and your world."

"Fujimaru Ritsuka, you should go and repair the other singularities first. This place doesn't need you."

Li Ang's domineering remarks infuriated the Chaldea faction.

Ritsuka replied, "I will not give up. I have a reason to continue fighting."

"Whatever," Li Ang said casually. "I'll let you off this time because of your relationship with Mash. But if you try to stop me later, Chaldea will be an enemy of Qin."

“I understand. If this is your decision.” Ritsuka glanced at Mash, “Then, my junior…”

"No, Mashu has to stay."

Li Ang said directly.

[Host, you still say you weren't lusting after that little eggplant's body!]

The system immediately jumped out to assert its presence, but Li Ang didn't even bother to roll his eyes at it.

"why?"

Ritsuka asked unwillingly.

Jing Ke scoffed, "The dignified Grand Preceptor of Qin actually has a penchant for abducting women?"

Li Ang initially disdained to explain, but he still said something.

“She’s a hostage. The man who could blow up my bedroom from so far away is too much of a threat to me; I need to be on guard.”

When Li Ang mentioned Red A, Ritsuka's face turned pale. She only breathed a sigh of relief when Li Ang didn't continue.

"You're really just being unreasonable," Jing Ke said with a sneer. "You want us to get out of the singularity, but you won't let Mash go back. It's completely contradictory. If you've taken a liking to Mash, just say so. There's nothing shameful about it."

Leon neither confirmed nor denied it, but simply said with a cold laugh, "If you want to return to Chaldea, you should be able to do a direct spiritual transfer, so Mash can return to Chaldea no matter where she is. Don't tell me you can't do it."

The Chaldea members immediately looked at Mash, as Leon shouldn't know about such a confidential matter as spirit particle transfer.

They instinctively assumed that Mashu had told Leon on her own initiative.

Even Koyanskaya, who had been watching the whole thing, thought so, and she immediately started using her signature skills of fanning the shadows and stirring up ghost fire.

"He truly lives up to his reputation as the Grand Preceptor of the Great Qin Empire, the man most desired to marry in all of Great Qin. In just a few days, he has completely captivated the young girl from Chaldea."

"I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense..."

Mashu blushed deeply and waved her hands haphazardly in denial.

"Meow~"

As luck would have it, Phil returned to the room and skillfully jumped into Mashu's arms.

Koyanskaya laughed even harder, her eyes clearly saying, "Still denying it? You're already so familiar with their cat."

Matthew suddenly felt more wronged than Dou E, even though she didn't know who Dou E was.

Ritsuka certainly wouldn't believe that her junior would betray her, but it seemed that her good relationship with Li Ang's side was not untrue.

She wasn't stupid; Mashu was still fair-skinned and clean, clearly receiving good treatment from Leon.

Well, it's fine to let Mashu handle it; maybe we can get more information through her.

"Then we'll take our leave."

Thinking this, Ritsuka led Christmas Attila and Jing Ke toward the gate.

"Mast, are we just going to let it go like this?"

Jing Ke was clearly not willing to give up.
