Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

The young girl in palace attire in the corner nodded timidly, her face still showing a look of doubt.

To break the silence, Samael took the initiative to start a conversation, clearing his throat and asking a question.

"Isn't this the men's pool? What are you doing here, a girl?"

"By order of His Majesty the First Emperor, Yu Yu is here to serve you during your bath..."

The little girl, huddled in the corner, timidly glanced at Samael and answered weakly, like a lost lamb, her innocent and pitiful eyes filled with tenderness.

Yuyu?

Upon hearing this soft, sweet self-reference, Samael paused slightly, then looked at the little girl in the corner, now soaked to the bone, with a strange expression in his eyes.

Holy crap, no way? Yang Yuhuan!

As if on cue, Yang Guifei from Huaqing Pool actually appeared and bathed with him.

Amidst the astonishment, the ancient snake's suspicion deepened.

"Ying Zheng sent you? What's going on? Do you have any proof?"

"Yes, yes! This is the jade slip of His Majesty the First Emperor. Please take a look."

The young girl in palace attire in the corner seemed intimidated by the terrifying tyranny of an adult. She hurriedly took out a jade slip from her bosom and timidly handed it over.

As his fingertips touched the patterns on the jade slip, the First Emperor pondered with a mixture of seriousness and amusement, the words echoing in Samael's mind.

"As a fellow ruler, I advise you not to get involved with those celestial maidens."

Of course, it's better to guide than to suppress. If you can't control yourself, you might as well try the "gift" I'm giving you..."

After receiving the information, Samael stared at the dimly lit jade slip in his hand, as if he could see the mocking face of the First Emperor through it.

At this moment, the young girl in palace attire in the corner seemed to know her fate. She raised her head, looked timidly at the opposite side, and pleaded softly.

“Yu Yu will be obedient, please… be gentle…”

As she spoke, Yang Guifei, who was descending as a young girl, mustered her courage and began to unbutton her clothes one button at a time.

Her skin, as white as a fresh lychee, and her delicate collarbones were exposed inch by inch to the air.

Chapter Eight: I'll accept your daughter and wife.

"stop!"

Seeing that the young girl, who looked like a primary school student, was about to strip him naked, Samael hurriedly grabbed Yang Yuhuan's hand and coughed repeatedly.

"Ahem, I appreciate Your Majesty's kindness, but I'm not used to this kind of gift, so please take your leave..."

However, when Samael politely declined, he not only failed to earn the girl's gratitude, but also caused her to turn pale and lose her composure.

"do not want!"

Amidst terrified cries, the young girl, her palace robe half-undone, stumbled into Samael's arms, her youthful body trembling.

"Please don't send Yu Yu away, Yu Yu doesn't want to be locked in the underground palace anymore..."

The sorrowful yet terrified sobs stunned Samael, his mind racing with thoughts.

Brother Zheng, what did you do to that young girl?

Meanwhile, in the main hall of the Li Palace.

After the case was concluded, the First Emperor closed the bamboo slips in his hand, looked at the female general below the court who hesitated several times before speaking calmly.

"Lord Zhongzhen, please speak freely."

Qin Liangyu took a slight breath to calm herself down before stepping forward to ponder.

"Your Majesty, that child is still young and not yet mature. It is inevitable that some mistakes will occur if she is asked to use her beauty to serve guests. Isn't that... isn't that too abrupt?"

After careful consideration, the words came out of the female general's mouth.

"Abrupt?"

The First Emperor tossed aside the bamboo slips, his long, narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and his brow furrowed.

"What the Marquis of Loyalty wanted to say was 'cruelty,' wasn't it..."

As he spoke, the First Emperor unconsciously raised his voice, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Admittedly, this loyal marquis is brave and capable, and of excellent character, but the summoning of heroic spirits often chooses to preserve and capture the most perfect silhouette of their lives.

In other words, this ritual of incarnation is basically performed in a young body.

Qin Liangyu, standing before us, is this type.

However, her youthful body also meant that her mind was not as decisive and ruthless as it had been in her old age after witnessing countless bloodshed and violence.

The saying goes, "A kind heart cannot command an army." This kind of womanly benevolence is something that generals should avoid.

Upon hearing this, Qin Liangyu quickly nodded and apologized.

"The general will not dare!"

"It's alright, I won't punish you for your words."

The First Emperor waved his hand dismissively, a meaningful look appearing on his face, before adding casually.

"Moreover, in my opinion, today's distinguished guest and that Yang woman are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. My actions are also well-intentioned."

"But she hasn't had her coming-of-age ceremony yet; she's still a child..."

Although Qin Liangyu hesitated, her straightforward personality led her to express her reluctance.

Although China has a tradition of early marriage, for women, it is considered appropriate to wait until they are at least 15 years old and have a coming-of-age ceremony.

"child?"

The First Emperor shook his head, a sneer on his face.

"The child you speak of has already driven the two elite Qin warriors, who fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, to madness."

Qin Liangyu's expression froze, and she fell silent.

After the return of the gods, the emperor awoke from his long slumber, opened the underground palace of Mount Li, and personally led tens of thousands of Qin warriors, who had been sealed in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang using the method of disintegration and petrification, back to the mortal world to rebuild the Li Palace.

Afterwards, the First Emperor used the underground palace as a foundation to build an altar on Mount Li, where he gathered heroes and generals, and widely recruited the heroic spirits that descended upon the land of China to protect the divine land.

It was during this period that she was brought under the wing of the First Emperor.

However, not all spirit possessions are smooth sailing.

For example, the legendary Yang Guifei of the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Guifei, one of the Four Beauties of ancient China, was known as "the one who shames the flowers." Her original name was Yang Yuhuan. She was given the title of "Guifei" by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, hence the name Yang Guifei.

Many poems have been written about it since then, among which Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Regret" has had a particularly profound influence.

According to historical records, the imperial concubine was skilled in dance, and her signature dance was the famous "Rainbow Feather Dress Dance".

She came from the prestigious Hongnong Yang clan, a prominent family during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, by the Tang Dynasty, Yang Yuhuan's family had declined, and her father was merely a seventh-rank official in Shu. After losing her father at the age of ten, she was adopted by her uncle Yang Xuanjiao, and later became the wife of Li Mao, the eighteenth son of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, as Yang Xuanjiao's eldest daughter.

Four years after Lady Yang married Prince Shou, Emperor Xuanzong's beloved concubine, Consort Wu Hui, passed away. Emperor Xuanzong was devastated, so Gao Lishi offered Lady Yang to him. However, because it was considered unethical to take his son's wife, Gao Lishi first had Lady Yang become a Daoist nun with the Daoist name Taizhen. Later, she entered the palace as the eldest daughter of Yang Xuanzhen, and five years later, she returned to secular life and was made a Noble Consort.

Because of Yang Guifei's favor with the emperor, her relative Yang Guozhong also became a favorite minister of Emperor Xuanzong, and after Li Linfu's death, he dominated the court.

In 755, the An Lushan Rebellion broke out, and soon Chang'an was in danger. Emperor Xuanzong fled the capital with Yang Guifei and some noble ladies. At Mawei Post Station, they encountered a mutiny by the army. The mutineers first killed Yang Guozhong, and then demanded the execution of Yang Guifei. Left with no other choice, Emperor Xuanzong gave Yang Guifei a white silk ribbon to commit suicide.

Since it was Yang Guozhong who caused chaos in the court, and Yang Yuhuan herself did not interfere in politics, the most absurd thing she did was to send lychees to the palace, so her reputation in later generations was not bad.

What she endured was merely the fate of being swept along by the times.

Originally, such a powerless concubine was not a suitable candidate for summoning a Heroic Spirit.

However, firstly, Huaqing Palace in Lishan has always been closely related to Yang Yuhuan in history.

Secondly, according to legend, Yang Yuhuan's body, which was buried in the suburbs after her death, was exhumed and its whereabouts are now unknown.

Some claim that the imperial concubine faked her death and was secretly sent elsewhere.

Or perhaps, after her death, her soul became a fairy of Penglai, a morning star in the sky.

In short, there are many different rumors about Yang Guifei, which have shrouded her in mystery.

Unfortunately, the Yang Guifei who descended upon Mount Li not only appeared in her childhood form, but also lost all her memories.

At the same time, she was not the weak woman rumored to be; she seemed to possess some inexplicable power.

If outsiders are in contact with her for too long, they will be infected, their minds will gradually become disordered, and they will eventually go on to inexplicable madness and self-destruction.

To prevent the spread of pollution, Yang Guifei was imprisoned in the underground palace of Lishan since her arrival.

Even so, the Qin soldiers guarding her began to show signs of losing control and went into a frenzy.

Qin Liangyu pondered for a moment, but still hesitated.

"Since the root cause of the child's illness has not yet been determined, it is even more inappropriate to release her so easily to serve your distinguished guests, in case..."

"rest assured……"

The First Emperor waved his hand dismissively, his gaze carrying a profound meaning.

"Since it is a match made in heaven, my guest naturally has a way to deal with it. He is the one who once united the nations and wiped out the aliens."

Seeing that His Majesty was so certain, Qin Liangyu's brows relaxed, she breathed a slight sigh of relief, nodded in agreement, and rose to take her leave.

Stepping out of the palace gates, Qin Liangyu pursed her cherry lips, but still couldn't help feeling some doubts.

Originally, she only wanted to clarify the misunderstanding for that guest and, incidentally, expose the ugly face of a certain vixen.

Unexpectedly, the First Emperor turned around and sent the strangely mysterious Yang woman out of the underground palace.

The thoughts and ideas of emperors are truly unfathomable.

Hopefully, it is as Your Majesty says.

Qin Liangyu sighed, got up, and walked away.

At that moment, the First Emperor, standing before his desk, raised his hand and retrieved a vermilion-lacquered wooden box from a pool of floating mercury. He unlocked the bronze clasp and gazed at the silver fragment on the velvet surface, a fragment that resembled both jade and metal.

Finally, those long, bee-like eyes landed on the several scratches on the fragments in the box.

"The one who destroyed Qin was Hu..."

The First Emperor began to murmur, his eyes gradually becoming deep and complex.

The Hu refers to the Xiongnu, who are beyond the reach of civilization, and stars in the sky.

I have considered the first two factors.

Therefore, he ordered Meng Tian to build the Great Wall in the north to guard the borders, pushing back the Xiongnu by more than 700 li, so that the Hu people dared not go south to graze their horses, and the soldiers dared not bend their bows to express their grievances.

At the same time, due to the arrival of the Broom Star, he mobilized the entire nation, gathering the elites of China, to fight against foreign enemies alongside that foreign ruler.

In the end, although China was spared from falling into the clutches of the barbarians, the Qin Dynasty's 300,000 elite troops were almost completely wiped out.

Even he himself suffered severe injuries and had to enter the Lishan Underground Palace after the battle to use the energy of the Nine Provinces to perform the technique of disintegration and immortal transformation, slowly transforming himself into a "corpse-disintegrating immortal".

But unexpectedly, when he woke up, he found himself in a dream spanning a thousand years.

The Qin Dynasty, which he had poured his heart and soul into, had long since vanished into thin air.

What he didn't expect was that the Great Qin Dynasty, which had driven back the Xiongnu in the north and guarded against external threats, ultimately perished at the hands of its rebellious son, Huhai, after the second generation.

It's both laughable and pathetic.

Snapped--

The vermilion-lacquered wooden box closed crisply, its eerie starlight subdued.

The First Emperor glanced out of the palace, a hint of amusement and a cold smile playing on his lips.

Was it Hu who destroyed Qin?

Come and don't come, it's indecent.

Since you are the one who eliminates aliens, receiving this gift should be a piece of cake for you.

At this very moment, in the hot spring pool.

Having finally been brought under control, the young Yang Guifei tearfully denounced the First Emperor's tyranny.
