Chapter 190 Dragon King's Pleasure Garden
Morning fungi don't know Hui Shuo, worms don't know Spring and Autumn.
Beiping, "villa".
Xia Mi brewed a cup of tea for both Jiu Deya and Chen Motong.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. In Beiping, we don't need to be too particular about other things, but we should still pay attention to how we treat our guests.
It's impossible for guests to come to your home and leave without even having a cup of tea.
Chen Motong took a sip of Da Hong Pao tea, blew on the rising steam from the white porcelain cup, looked up at Xia Mi, and asked:
"Um... Junior Sister Xia Mi, do you know roughly when Ye Jingchen will be back?"
Upon hearing Chen Motong's question, Xia Mi immediately scratched her cheek, somewhat awkwardly replying:
"Um... Senior Sister Mo Tong, please have a seat first. The boss should be back soon."
As you know, the boss is usually quite busy.
They usually don't go home to sleep, so it seems.
Even if the boss doesn't come back soon, I hope Senior Mo Tong won't mind!
Norton sat on the sofa, holding the little golden egg. Hearing Xia Mi's words, he scoffed, not understanding why Xia Mi was so diligently speaking up for Ye Jingchen. He thought to himself:
"Jormungandr, you're something else! Back when you were following Nidhogg the Black King, you never worked this hard!"
Shudeya simply drank her tea silently and listened quietly to everyone's conversation. She didn't intend to interrupt; after all, the more you say, the more mistakes you make, the less you say, and the less mistakes you make, the better if you don't say anything at all.
Chen Motong naturally saw that Xia Mi was trying to smooth things over, and turned to look at Jiu Deya, slowly saying:
"Aki-senpai, what's your opinion on this?"
Shudeya put down her teacup. She knew she wouldn't speak unless someone asked her.
Since Chen Motong had asked, Jiu Deyaji no longer hesitated and answered directly:
"Since we have to wait for Ye Jingchen, then we will wait. Let's show our sincerity."
There is an old Chinese saying: "Where there is a will, there is a way."
I believe Ye Jingchen will be willing to listen to our demands at that time.
Chen Motong actually hoped that Xia Mi could make a phone call to Ye Jingchen. Having grown up in the United States, she was inevitably lacking in social skills. This time, she didn't bring anything with her when she came to Ye Jingchen's house.
Being overly polite is never a bad thing; being underly polite is never appreciated.
Moreover, Chen Motong and Jiu Deya came empty-handed.
Chen Motong realized her shortcomings in social interaction during her visit to Ye Jingchen's house, and could only suffer in silence.
He remained silent.
Xia Mi was a master of deception; whenever Chen Motong and Jiu Deyaji were talking, she would shift the blame onto Ye Jingchen.
In this way, she would neither tarnish Ye Jingchen's reputation nor create difficulties for herself. Ultimately, she was working for Ye Jingchen.
Even after Ye Jingchen returned home, he didn't criticize Xia Mi too harshly.
It can only be said that Xia Mi truly deserves to be the most skilled at social interaction among all the dragon kings.
Norton disapproved of Xia Mi's words. He held the little golden egg, brought his mouth close to the shell, and murmured:
"Constantine, these are the dregs of human society. You must not learn them; they will only bring you trouble."
The little golden egg trembled slightly after hearing its brother's words, as if responding to Norton's words.
Fenrir remained silent, only staring intently at the cartoons on TV, constantly stuffing potato chips into his mouth.
The white crystal chandelier hanging in the living room shone brightly, and all the light shone on the various characters.
Big Black Egg, Norton, Xia Mi, Fenrir, Little Golden Egg, Chen Motong, and Jiu Deyaji.
It's less like Ye Jingchen's "villa" and more like the Dragon Kings' amusement park...
Within the alchemical subspace.
After learning the basics of Qi Refining from Jiang Cheng, Ying Zheng escorted Jiang Cheng back to the Zhou family's gate.
He originally intended to leave Jiang Cheng in the alchemical subspace, but Jiang Cheng insisted on going back, so he had no choice but to respect Jiang Cheng's wishes.
Ying was pondering the rather complicated Qi Refining Technique, diligently studying it.
Ying Zheng's inner monologue:
"The greatest truths are the simplest, and all paths lead to the same goal."
Although this Qi Refining Technique seems complicated, its essence can still be glimpsed from alchemy.
The Jiang family's Qi cultivation technique also avoided many flaws.
They didn't take any detours; they truly are descendants of Jiang Ziya.
In this light, it seems that King Zhou was ultimately overthrown by the various feudal lords and Qi cultivators of the Dragon Kingdom.
If King Zhou is like Nidhogg the Black King, then it's understandable that he was caught in the tide of history and the will of the people, inevitably facing his own tragic destiny.
That prophecy—only the Black King himself, and the new Black King, can kill the old Black King.
When the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms, he did not directly eliminate the Zhou emperor.
After all, the Zhou emperor at that time was already a figurehead, but he still accomplished the great feat of unifying the six kingdoms.
The two main forces that overthrew the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, might have been mixed-race, and they might even have known Qi cultivation and alchemy!
"Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?" This saying is absolutely true!
Only the new Black King and the old Black King can kill the Black King.
If Hu Hai, the emperor of the Qin Empire, was the Black King, then Zhao Gao, the chief eunuch who killed him, was the Black King!
Subsequently, Ying Ziying of the Qin Dynasty killed the Grand Eunuch Zhao Gao, and Ziying regained the power of the Black King of Qin.
Unfortunately, the Qin Empire was already riddled with problems, and Prince Ziying was powerless to reverse the situation. Just from the fact that he set a trap to kill the Grand Eunuch Zhao Gao, it can be seen that Ziying was a man of great strategy. It's a pity.
After Liu Bang entered Xianyang, he did not kill Prince Ziying of Qin. Therefore, it seems that Liu Bang was not the new Black King at that time.
After the Feast at Hongmen, Liu Bang withdrew from Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Empire.
After entering Xianyang, Xiang Yu immediately executed Ziying by cutting him in half at the waist, and then, following the example of the Zhou emperor, he divided the land among himself!
Judging solely from the fact that Xiang Yu killed Prince Ziying of Qin, Xiang Yu was the new Black King!
In the final Chu-Han Contention, Liu Bang killed Xiang Yu, and at this time Liu Bang became the new Black King!
Therefore, it is highly likely that the Black King is also a twin!
The two twins alternate in the world, constantly rotating, with one being the Black King for one lifetime.
When the other half of the Black King is killed, the remaining Black King can then eke out a living in the world.
The two Black Kings have been fighting for control of each other; only by simultaneously controlling both Black Kings can this fate be ended!
As Ying was thinking, she removed the one-eyed white mask from her face.
Wearing a mask for a long time can indeed cause it to stick to your face, and when you tear it off, it just hurts a bit.
Ye Jingchen stared blankly at the vast white expanse within the alchemical subspace, lost in thought for a moment…
The Zhou family's study in the northwest corner.
Zhou Mingrui pointed his finger at Jiang Chengdi's nose:
"What did you say? Say it again! What do you mean he took you into another world?!"
Jiang Cheng did not refute, his expression remaining calm and composed. He simply cupped his hands slightly and said:
"Yes, I've entered another world, like Zhuangzi's dream of becoming a butterfly..."
