I really didn't want to burn it.

What's wrong with Phil?

Mashu noticed the burnt fur on Phil's body again and felt a pang of sympathy.

DD said expressionlessly, "It was sleeping in the master's bedroom the day you attacked the Imperial Preceptor's residence."

Mashu immediately understood.

That night, Red A blew up Li Ang's bedroom.

The attack on Li Ang failed, but the cat ended up getting caught in the crossfire.

"Sorry, Phil."

Mashu picked Phil up and held him in her arms to make him more comfortable.

"Meow~"

Phil let out a comfortable snoring sound, as if to say to Mash, "I forgive you."

"We're going to war this time, right? Is it okay to take Phil along?"

DD shook his head slightly, "Master always takes Phil with him when he goes to war, he says it brings him good luck."

"Hey?"

Mashu frowned slightly, unsure how to respond to that.

She knew, of course, that she was going to the battlefield with the soldiers outside, and being kind-hearted, she did not want to see any form of war.

"War..."

Mashu felt uneasy, and her feelings suddenly became complicated.

Even though Mashu knew she would inevitably encounter such things in the process of saving humanity, she still longed for peace.

"You really are too naive, but now I know why Master likes you so much. Such a pure person is something that most noble ladies can't do."

DD crossed his arms over his chest—or rather, supporting his chest with both hands would be a more appropriate description.

"Huh?? Huh!! Huh—?!"

Mashu's eyes turned into two small dots.

"Miss DD, what nonsense are you talking about? How could such a thing possibly happen?"

Mashu waved her hands and said emotionally.

DD chuckled coldly, "Heh, you know perfectly well whether it's true or not."

Ever since DD could remember, Li Ang had never been close to women.

It's not that Li Ang didn't have women, but DD never saw Li Ang put any effort into women.

Aside from DD herself, she had never seen her master show any concern for any other woman.

In DD's mind, his master, Li Ang, is a man of great principle.

But ever since that assassination attempt, strange women have started to appear around her master.

More importantly, the master's attitude towards these women was also very subtle.

The owner, who had always been principled, suddenly began to become less principled.

This made DD, who had always considered herself Li Ang's personal bed warmer, feel a sense of threat.

If it were just an ordinary woman, that would be one thing, but look at the women the master is so fond of.

One is an assassin who failed in his assassination attempt, and the other is a cunning fox of unknown origin.

DD's sense of crisis suddenly erupted.

Actually, DD knew a long time ago that his master would eventually find him a mistress.

But when the day actually came, DD was still very upset.

She felt that her master was being too rash and should at least find a more dignified woman.

"My figure is just as good as theirs."

DD pursed his lips, his eyes fixed on Mashu in front of him.

To be fair, if one's own master really doesn't follow principles...

Compared to that annoying, sly fox, DD would much rather he choose Mash in front of him.

For no particular reason, it's just that innocent and naive little white rabbits are easy to fool.

"The owner might like this style."

DD started imagining all sorts of random scenes, the kind of stories Li Ang had once told him about a female secretary who cheated on her employer.

"Ah - sneeze!"

Li Ang, who was riding on horseback, sneezed loudly.

"Who is talking bad about me behind my back?"

Li Ang rubbed his nose with his fingers.

[The host has offended many people; it's not surprising that some people speak ill of you.]

Li Ang curled his lip: "Tch, I'm handsome, dashing, and charming, loved by everyone. How could I have offended anyone?"

[Does the host want me to arrange them in chronological order or alphabetical order?]

"You're determined to sabotage the system, aren't you!"

Li Ang didn't hold back and gave him a triple middle finger.

[Let's lighten the mood~ The system sees how tense the host is, so of course it'll help you find a way to cheer up.]

Li Ang retorted without hesitation, "Mourning System, shut up! If you weren't so useless at a time like this, would I be so nervous?!"

[You, a host who can't even produce a single fart after studying a dining table for three days, have no right to talk to me.]

Seeing the words on the pop-up window, Li Ang's lips twitched violently.

The system is telling the truth.

For the past three days, Li Ang has been trying to use reverse engineering to see if he can summon heroic spirits.

As it turned out, even if Li Ang had three more days, he still wouldn't have been able to do it.

Unfortunately, Li Ang's studies in mysticism were completely unrelated to Chaldea's Heroic Spirit Summoning System.

"Sigh, I'm a Mast who once spent hundreds of times on in-game purchases, why is it so hard to summon Servants?"

Just as Li Ang was in a state of great distress, a rider came to Li Ang's side and handed him a bamboo tube.

"Grand Preceptor, battle report from the front!"

Li Ang carefully inspected the sealant on it, and after confirming that it was intact, he removed it.

This is a battle report from Cao Can at the front lines. It contains very little information, just a few words.

Cao Can reported to Li Ang that he had entered Yunzhong City and was leading all the soldiers and civilians of Yunzhong to resist the strange army of the Xiongnu.

After reading the battle report, Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, things didn't get to the worst possible state..."

However, Li Ang's mood did not improve much.

Cao Can did not choose to retreat, but the situation in Yunzhong remained critical.

He mentioned those troublesome monsters several times in his battle reports and requested help from Li Ang.

“We must speed up!”

Li Ang put away the battle report and ordered the messenger: "Pass on my order: the entire army must speed up and reach Yunzhong within four days!"

""promise!""

The soldiers around Li Ang responded with a resounding roar.

Immediately, messengers relayed the order to the entire army.

Chapter 7 She's here, she's here, she's riding a sheep!

A few days ago, in the Imperial Study of the Xianyang Palace.

"Teacher, what exactly happened?"

Emperor Fusu, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, bowed to Li Ang as a disciple and asked him a question.

During the morning court session earlier, Li Ang suddenly changed his original plan to launch a northern expedition against the Xiongnu.

Not only did they first send 5000 cavalry as reinforcements, but they also announced that they would gather 15 troops for a northern expedition.

The act of mobilizing the entire nation's strength for a decisive battle was completely unlike Li Ang's usual style, which greatly puzzled Fusu.

"Teacher, why are you so anxious? Could it be related to last night's assassination attempt?"

Fusu grabbed Li Ang's arm and anxiously inquired about the cause and effect.

Fusu knew that Li Ang had attempted assassination at his own home yesterday.

Upon hearing that some of the assassins had escaped, Fusu originally planned to issue a nationwide manhunt for them, but Li Ang sent someone to stop him.

"That's part of the reason."

Li Ang nodded slowly, acknowledging Fusu's guess.

"Teacher, what happened?"

Fusu asked again.

Li Ang calmly said, "Do you remember? I once said that the Qin Dynasty was originally destined to perish after only two generations."

Fusu nodded vigorously: "I know, teacher. You went against the heavens and fought for a chance for the Great Qin. My father and I are extremely grateful."

When Li Ang descended from the sky, Ying Zheng mistook him for a deity, so Li Ang made up a story according to Ying Zheng's wishes.

Li Ang's story isn't particularly novel; it's simply that the Qin Dynasty collapsed after only two generations, and he came to save it.

Therefore, all my divine power was useless during the journey, and I can only help you with science.

Although Ying Zheng was initially skeptical of Li Ang's words, he became more convinced of Li Ang's abilities and his ageless appearance.

Ying Zheng believed Li Ang's nonsense and informed his heir, Fusu.

Compared to his brother Zheng, Fusu was the typical honest child.

Fusu always had unwavering faith in his father and teacher.

In the past, this would have been a good thing for Li Ang.

By sanctifying themselves, they can more easily guide the Qin Dynasty.

However, as the Qin Dynasty became a singularity, Li Ang's previous boasts began to show numerous flaws.

Unfortunately, Li Ang's mourning system is utterly useless; there's not even a way to redeem a "regret pill."

Li Ang had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue making up stories based on what he had said before.

"Because I changed history, now some people want to conform to the correct history."

Li Ang crossed his arms and looked serious.

I'm telling the truth; those people in Chaldea really did want to revise history back to its original form.

However, their understanding of the correct history differs considerably from the actual history.

"Wouldn't it be troublesome if the Investiture of the Gods were made into official history?"

Li Ang muttered a complaint in a voice only he could hear.

"Teacher, what did you say?"

"It's nothing, just something that came to mind," Li Ang quickly brushed off the topic.

To avoid further questioning from Fusu, Li Ang quickly steered the conversation back to the main topic.

"I intend to resolve the issue with the Xiongnu as soon as possible."
