Dragon's Origin

Chapter 264: What the Emperor Cannot Refuse (Part 2)

Wang Sheng understood the Emperor's mindset very well. But precisely because he understood, he was even more intolerant of their bad habits.

The root of everything was still the prevalent theory of pure cultivation in this world. This world was a world of cultivation, where cultivation trumped everything else. Those with high cultivation could control the life and death of those with lower cultivation and demand anything from them. Therefore, from the Emperor to that Seventh Prince and those important ministers, they felt that Wang Sheng, a small fry with only the third or fourth level of cultivation, should be at their disposal.

But when Wang Sheng, the ant in their eyes, suddenly demonstrated the ability to kill them, the elephants felt unbalanced, feeling that this shouldn't be the case, and that such a dangerous element should be eliminated to prevent future troubles.

The problem was that these so-called elephants never felt that those peerless experts were also unstable factors that could threaten them at any time. They only felt that those experts were higher in cultivation than them, so it was natural for them to be able to threaten them.

Wang Sheng had only one evaluation for such people: cheapskates! If they dared to take an inch after being given a mile, Wang Sheng didn't mind letting them know the consequences of provoking him.

Wang Sheng's words made the Emperor vigilant. What did it mean to wait two years and see? Did it mean that after a few years, the various lords would have a reason to attack the royal family?

"Why?" The Emperor was now concerned and confused, completely unaware that he had once again fallen into the trap of being too close to the situation to see clearly, and blurted out the question.

"Figure it out yourself!" Wang Sheng wasn't so kind as to help the Emperor find the reason in this situation. He sneered and said, "Don't you think you can sleep well now? Slowly figure it out in your dreams!"

Looking at Wang Sheng's attitude, the Emperor almost slapped himself a few times. He was indeed the kind of fool Wang Sheng said who forgot the pain after the wound healed. He really thought that solving one of Wang Sheng's problems could solve all the problems. People didn't even need to do anything, just a few words could make him continue to live those sleepless days.

Steward Zhou was at the side, really wanting to take action to solve the Emperor's worries, but he didn't dare.

The last time he saw Wang Sheng, he was intimidated by Wang Sheng's extremely lethal gas bomb and didn't dare to move. This time, if Wang Sheng hadn't been prepared from the beginning, with Wang Sheng's cultivation level from the last meeting, Steward Zhou could still guarantee a sure kill and prevent Wang Sheng from counterattacking.

But things didn't go as planned. Steward Zhou suddenly discovered that Wang Sheng's cultivation had improved again. This greatly reduced the possibility of him killing Wang Sheng with one blow. What made him hesitate to act was that Steward Zhou always felt that Wang Sheng exuded a unique aura, as if he was monitoring his every move at all times. Once he acted rashly, it would definitely cause immeasurable consequences.

He didn't have this feeling last time, which could only mean that this was a new ability after Wang Sheng's cultivation improved. Even if Wang Sheng wasn't facing Steward Zhou and couldn't see Steward Zhou's actions, he could still sense Steward Zhou's actions at any time. And this further reduced Steward Zhou's success rate, reducing it to the point where he didn't even have half a chance.

The Emperor was now anxious and uncertain, which was actually easy to understand. The royal family had never tasted this kind of high and mighty feeling before. Now that they had tasted it, they wouldn't be willing to return to their original state, even if they were asked to. It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Wang Sheng had already let them taste the taste of power, so how could they be willing to be ordinary?

Watching Steward Zhou struggling, and the Emperor's face turning red and white, Wang Sheng felt extremely comfortable in his heart. But it seemed that this was not enough. With a flash of inspiration, an old song that Wang Sheng had heard on Earth suddenly appeared in Wang Sheng's mind.

It was the theme song of the Hong Kong drama "Qin Shi Huang," called "Qin Shi Huang," also known as "The Land Under My Feet." Roman Tam was the original singer, a Cantonese song.

While the Emperor was pondering, Wang Sheng casually hummed this song in Mandarin in a low voice.

"The land is under my feet,

The fate of the nation is in my hands,

Who dares to speak more?

Who leveled the eight kingdoms?

Who unified and dominated?

Whose achievements are higher than mine?

High above! Look at it, gentlemen!

My kingdom is as beautiful as a painting.

Climbing mountains and stepping through fog! Pointing to the sky and laughing!

Who else is worthy of praise besides me?

The Emperor is the beginning, people are here,

Seizing the freedom of ten thousand generations.

Inscribed on stone, preserved in history.

Spreading how I dominate!"

In order to connect with this world, Wang Sheng changed "leveled the six kingdoms" to "leveled the eight kingdoms." He changed "Qin is the beginning" to "The Emperor is the beginning," and basically didn't change anything else.

This song sounds very catchy in Cantonese, but changing it to Mandarin doesn't seem to be out of place, and the meaning is expressed very accurately.

A few days ago, he sang a song "Let Fate Decide" at the Old Lord Temple. Today, Wang Sheng sang another song "The Land Under My Feet" in front of the Emperor. Wang Sheng found that he seemed to be more and more like a singer.

It must be said that this song, sung from the perspective of Qin Shi Huang, has a fatal attraction for any emperor, especially the Emperor in front of him.

The Emperor was immersed and intoxicated by the imagery of the song, which described the Emperor's power and dominance, controlling everything, and could no longer extricate himself after hearing it just once.

Listen, who leveled the eight kingdoms? Who unified and dominated? This is clearly a portrayal of the Emperor's current inner thoughts! Which emperor could be indifferent to such great achievements?

The land is under my feet, the fate of the nation is in my hands, who dares to speak more? These words are simply poison! The Emperor hadn't dreamed of such a crazy dream in countless nights, but Wang Sheng sang it in front of him.

If Wang Sheng had already joined the Emperor, offering this song would definitely make the Emperor very happy. But now, the Emperor had just made a stupid mistake and angered Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng singing this song was simply a satire!

The lyrics pierced the Emperor's heart, leaving it bloody and full of holes. If he hadn't angered Wang Sheng and had spoken nicely, the Emperor couldn't imagine how magnificent the royal family's atmosphere would be with Wang Sheng's ideas.

Just look at how Wang Sheng waved his hand and created a system of enfeoffing the lords, sending the royal family from mediocrity to heaven, and then in the blink of an eye, he used the Emperor to command the lords, stepping the royal family into the abyss. Then, with another idea, he sent the royal family back to heaven. He was clearly in control, turning his hands into clouds and rain!

How could the Emperor be so stupid as to test and provoke such a person for no reason? Shouldn't he immediately send the most beautiful princess to his side to win him over? How could he be so blinded by greed and provoke him for no reason?

Fortunately, Wang Sheng didn't immediately turn his face, which showed that there was still room for negotiation. The Emperor's tone and attitude immediately softened.

"Just kidding, my mistake!" To Steward Zhou's astonishment, the Emperor apologized to Wang Sheng without hesitation.
