123: Chapter 123 The Gossip of Qin Shi Huang!!

"By the way, what is your name?"

Chu Xiao asked.

I've had her under my command for so long, yet I don't even know her name. As her master, I've really been quite derelict in my duty.

Beside him, the thousand-year-old peerless beauty Female Zombie lowered her head and said softly, "This slave's name is Yu Shu."

"Yu Shu? Why does that name sound so familiar!" Chu Xiao thought for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed, "Holy crap, are you from the Qin Dynasty?"

The peerless beauty Female Zombie Yu Shu nodded. "This slave was indeed born during the Qin Dynasty! Master, do you know of me?"

Chu Xiao's impression of her couldn't help but improve a bit more. After all, when he was a child, he had watched a period Transmigration drama about a modern person transmigrating to the Qin Dynasty...

Featuring Princess Yu Shu...

"Then do you know someone named Yi Xiaochuan?" Chu Xiao asked curiously.

Yu Shu smiled faintly and shook her head. "This slave does not know anyone named Yi Xiaochuan."

Chu Xiao asked again, "Then are you a princess? Do you know Qin Shi Huang?"

Yu Shu nodded, looking quite surprised. "This slave was indeed once a princess of a small northern tribe. Later, I was presented to the Qin Emperor, Ying Zheng. Master, how did you know?"

Chu Xiao sucked in a breath of cold air and asked curiously, "Then why weren't you buried alive with Qin Shi Huang?"

Yu Shu smiled and said, "The First Emperor was a very good man; he did not force any of his concubines to be buried with him. In his tomb, there is only the late Lady Zheng."

Chu Xiao pinched his chin. "So that means you were Qin Shi Huang's woman! Then, did you ever bear him any children?"

Yu Shu shook her head. "In fact, the First Emperor never even met me. He had too many concubines in his harem, and someone like me, who was sent as tribute from a small tribe..."

That made sense.

A big shot like the First Emperor had countless beauties in his harem. After conquering the six kingdoms, the palace was likely filled with all sorts of beauties captured from them.

As a mere Mortal, he probably didn't have that much energy for pleasure.

Yu Shu continued, "Moreover, when I entered the palace, the First Emperor had already begun trying to Cultivate for immortality. He had obtained a scroll of an ancient Cultivation Technique. Therefore, he rarely summoned his concubines to serve him. If it weren't for the sake of continuing the imperial Bloodline, I think he might have..."

"To be honest, he is the most heroic and ambitious man I have ever seen, other than you, Master."

Mentioning this...

...piqued Chu Xiao's gossiping heart again. He quickly asked, "By the way, since Qin Shi Huang was already cultivating, did he actually die? Or did he Cultivate the Path of Corpses like you?"

Yu Shu shook her head. "The First Emperor did not die. As far as I know, he did not Cultivate the Path of Corpses either!!!"

This news was too explosive.

Chu Xiao couldn't help but exclaim, "What? He really didn't die? Then where is he? Who is buried in Mount Li right now?"

Yu Shu thought for a moment, pursed her lips, and said, "I'm not too sure about that! But I know he didn't die back then. The one who died was just a body double he found. When the Great Qin Empire collapsed, I saw him outside the palace. He was very young then and already had a cultivation at the Golden Core Realm. Oh, and there's also Xu Fu; Xu Fu is his good brother!"

Hearing this...

Chu Xiao was a bit dazed. This information was too shocking. Ying Zheng, the Eternal Emperor, actually hadn't died, and he had even watched the glorious Empire he built crumble to dust.

A real man!

Is this what they call the Great Dao of Cultivation—being free from all attachments?

Perhaps, in the First Emperor's heart, the Empire wasn't that important. What he cared about was the ideology of unification and ending the centuries of constant warfare during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

Chu Xiao put himself in his shoes. If he were the Qin Shi Huang of that time, he might not have had such an open-minded heart or such a grand state of mind.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiao couldn't help but look forward to it. He looked forward to meeting the legendary First Emperor one day in the future.

Just as he was thinking...

...a "ding-dong" sound suddenly came from his phone.

He opened it to take a look.

It was a text message.

Content: (Hello, this text message is random! Sending it to you means we are fated! Let me tell you a secret: I am actually Qin Shi Huang, and I didn't die! I transmigrated; that's right, I transmigrated to modern times! I have no money right now. As long as you transfer 500 yuan to me, I will tell you the location of a buried Treasure Trove containing countless gold, ancient bronzeware, and jade! ... This is my payment number: ##...###)

"Holy crap... A-Li, are you playing a prank on me?"

Chu Xiao sent a voice transmission speechlessly.

In a bathroom, A-Li, who was enjoying a massage, was startled and immediately replied, "Master? What are you saying? What prank?"

Chu Xiao: "It's nothing. Go back to what you were doing!"

Without a second thought...

...Chu Xiao transferred 50,000 yuan to the other party.

[Ding!]

[You have shocked the Northern Myanmar scammer Li Tiezhu, gaining 500 pleasure points!]

The System's voice flashed by.

"Not a bad deal!" Chu Xiao's lips curled up, and he tucked his phone back into his pocket.

At this time, Yu Shu, who had finished trimming her nails, smiled and stretched out her hands, asking, "Master, is it okay if I trim my nails like this?"

Originally, her nails were several inches long; a casual poke could stab someone to death.

For safety's sake, he could only have her cut them.

The trimmed nails weren't wasted. These things were incredibly hard, extremely sharp, and contained a terrifying toxin. They could be used for Artifact Refining or directly as weapons.

Although they were useless to Chu Xiao, he could give them away!

Chu Xiao nodded with satisfaction. "Mm, not bad. Keep your nails at this length from now on."

Yu Shu was all smiles. "Mhm, mhm~~ I will obey all of Master's instructions."

On the other side, Qing Ji, who had retracted her dragon tail, walked with a sway as if she had lost her balance. She complained uncomfortably, "Master, can I not retract my tail? Without it, I feel so strange when I walk!"

Chu Xiao shook his head. "No, you must retract your tail. Unless there's no one around, otherwise, you should just go back into the ring to Cultivate!"

Although the world has already undergone Spiritual Qi Recovery, to avoid unnecessary trouble, it's still better for Qing Ji to completely take on a human appearance.

Qing Ji pursed her lips. "Fine..."

Chu Xiao sat on the sofa, watching her sway as she walked, her large buttocks swinging back and forth, and he couldn't help but admire her.

As expected of a daughter of the Dragon Clan!
