Chapter 192 At a Loss

　　In the Ruins of Return—

　　Jue and Yao Ji were counting the treasures of the entire Ruins of Return. For Yao Ji, she didn't need to possess these treasures; simply figuring out how many there were was already extremely delightful. While counting, she said contentedly, "Great, the entire Ruins of Return is ours now."

　　"In the past, I had to secretly deduct a little bit of funds from that big idiot, the Master of the Ruins of Return, but now, I can do it openly! Jue, Jue, you definitely won't blame your sister, right?"

　　"You'll take care of your sister, right?!"

　　"Right, right?!"

　　The woman wore a slightly loose knit shirt, her chest soft and beautiful. Then, like a spoiled child, she hugged Jue's arm and shook it back and forth. The girl nodded in agreement as a matter of course, her voice gentle, "Of course I'll take care of you, sister."

　　Yao Ji's eyes lit up instantly, "Yay!!!"

　　Then the girl added, "However, I won't become the Master of the Ruins of Return."

　　"So I can't help you with that."

　　"Eh???"

　　Yao Ji was stunned for a moment, then patted her chest and said, "It's okay!"

　　"I know, I know, you've never liked these things, Jue."

　　"If you don't take care of it, then it will definitely be Yuanshi Tianzun."

　　"It's okay, it's okay, in any case, he is my sister's husband, so we're all family. I'll help him too."

　　Yuanshi Tianzun was extremely poor. As the spirit of the Tianji Formation of the Ruins of Return, one of the three major forces, Yao Ji had naturally heard of this little bit of inside information. Although she had suddenly obtained such a large inheritance as the Ruins of Return, the poor Yuanshi Tianzun naturally didn't have much experience in managing accounts.

　　In that case, deducting a little bit, just a little bit...

　　He definitely wouldn't find out!

　　Easy peasy!

　　Wonderful, wonderful.

　　But soon, a streak of azure fire flew from afar, then circled once over the East Sea, seeming to hesitate. Finally, it restrained its form and plunged into the East Sea, then quickly arrived at the Ruins of Return. Finally, holding an object in its hand, it shouted loudly, "Yan Emperor's daughter, Jingwei, under the sect of Yuanshi Tianzun of Yuxu Palace, is here to deliver a decree."

　　Jingwei, daughter of the Yan Emperor.

　　After the Battle of the South Sea, Wei Yuan had given her some guidance in her cultivation. The cultivation method was, in a way, the method Wei Yuan had comprehended himself, but the foundation of her own kung fu came from what Houtu had achieved for her at that time.

　　After all, Jingwei was actually a disciple accepted by Houtu in place of Wei Yuan.

　　The stream of light carrying the pure Qi of Taoism flew into the myriad worlds of the entire Ruins of Return, and then the huge chasm of the East Sea, which seemed to be forever devouring and circling, unfolded. The girl Jingwei followed this path and was led all the way to where Jue and Yao Ji were.

　　She was the Yan Emperor's most beloved little daughter, and the Yao Ji in front of her was originally the Yan Emperor's eldest daughter.

　　She was rescued by the Western Queen Mother of Kunlun after her death.

　　So Jingwei was caught in a dilemma.

　　She didn't expect to meet her sister. After the initial joy, all three fell into a kind of silence. The girl in the green dress and white top looked at her sister, then at her Shiniang (martial aunt/teacher's wife), and then realized that her Shiniang also had to call her sister 'sister.'

　　The girl fell into silence and embarrassment.

　　Yao Ji didn't care about that. She immediately hugged this little sister, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, almost suffocating Jingwei. She didn't care at all about the girl's confusion, and said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? Just call each other as you like. You can call me sister and call Jue Shiniang, that's fine too."

　　"Um… but in that case, wouldn't Jue be a generation higher than me again?"

　　Yao Ji fell into thought.

　　In the end, she simply gave up thinking.

　　"Never mind!"

　　"Come, Nuwa, let your sister take a good look at you. How have you been these days?"

　　Yao Ji hugged Jingwei. She had always had a good relationship with this youngest sister, but she had fallen first, and then when the Western Queen Mother had reshaped her divine soul, Jingwei had also 'disappeared.' This reunion of sisters was already thousands of years late.

　　After a long while, Yao Ji finally remembered that there was still something important to do, and yawned, saying:

　　"But, Jingwei, what are you here for this time?"

　　"You said it was by order of your teacher, Yuanshi Tianzun? What order, what decree?"

　　The girl in the blue dress straightened her expression slightly, and then said a little embarrassedly, "Actually, it's considered to be the master's decree, but the one who wrote this decree was actually Shishu (martial uncle) Zhuge. At that time, the master seemed to have left a lot of blank decrees for Little Shishu, and Shishu could just write whatever he wanted to say directly."

　　"Here, this is the one."

　　She stretched out her left hand and tapped her sleeve.

　　Then a stream of light flew out of her sleeve, growing bigger and bigger, and directly turned into a post, which she handed to Yao Ji in front. Yao Ji fully thought that Yuanshi Tianzun was going to entrust the entire Ruins of Return to her. Well, the Ruins of Return were so big that if she deducted a little bit, it would be a huge amount in her hands.

　　She opened the entire post with a smile on her face, but as her gaze swept over it, the expression on her face froze slightly.

　　"To the Heavenly Maiden Yao Ji, I have long admired your name. Due to Yuan's entrustment, from today onwards, the affairs of the Ruins of Return, large and small, will be under the joint management of you and me. At that time, I will need the Heavenly Maiden Yao Ji to generously offer your advice."

　　"Zhuge·Kongming."

　　Zhuge Kongming is coming to take care of internal affairs?

　　The expression on Yao Ji's face almost froze instantly.

　　She could almost vaguely hear the sound of shattering.

　　What was that sound of shattering?

　　It was a dream! It was my dream!

　　Yao Ji was almost crying with two big bags of tears in her eyes.

　　Wuwuwu, I originally planned to deduct a little bit from the circulation of the myriad worlds of the Ruins of Return, but, but, now the guy managing the internal affairs of the Ruins of Return has directly changed from the powerful but poor Yuanshi Tianzun to the top talent in internal affairs and logistics in the five thousand years of Yan and Huang history.

　　That was the terrifying genius who could manage internal affairs to the point of using the land of one state to withstand the land of nine states.

　　This guy, this guy...

　　Trying to secretly save up my own small treasury under this guy's hands...

　　That was almost completely impossible.

　　Dreaming, I wouldn't even dare to think like that in my dreams!

　　My dream, shattered...

　　Wuwuwu, Wei Yuan, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Zhuge Wu Hou, are these guys going to treat the entire Ruins of Return's myriad worlds as their own wallets and granaries?

　　Yao Ji swayed a little, making a gesture of raising her hand to support her heart with a sad face. Jingwei didn't know that her sister, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, had become a super socialite proficient in slacking off and freelancing, and was no longer the frail but gentle and kind beauty in her impression.

　　Therefore, she didn't quite understand why her sister was so melancholy.

　　She just took out another scroll with a black background, scarlet dragon patterns, and extremely arrogant and domineering, and said:

　　"In addition, Martial Uncle Zhuge asked me to go to the place of Great Qin."

　　"And then found a person named Ying Zheng, and took this scroll from him, and brought it here as well."

　　"Ying Zheng?!"

　　Yao Ji's expression froze slightly, and she exclaimed subconsciously:

　　"What is he here to do?"

　　"This, is this the so-called imperial decree? It's actually black, but it seems normal, after all, the era of Great Qin seems to be the virtue of water, so it is indeed black, um, but, what on earth will this human first emperor write?"

　　"Um, could it be that the Ruins of Return are so big that he also wants to get a share of the pie?"

　　"It's not impossible."

　　"After winning the land, after conquering the land, you must occupy this land for yourself, wuwuwu, the human kings are indeed all like this, greedy and full of surging desires, but, doesn't this mean that even the last hope for my small treasury is gone?"

　　"But what do you think it will say, do you know?"

　　She looked at the Azure Dragon next to her.

　　The Azure Dragon's injuries had been healed by Wei Yuan, and his own Qi had basically stabilized, so there was no problem, but his face was still somewhat pale. The so-called Dao Fruit realm basically belonged to a comprehensive crushing of cultivators below this level.

　　Even Wei Yuan, a Dao Fruit realm powerhouse who had become famous for his combat and swordsmanship.

　　His healing power was even stronger than the Jia Yi wood Azure Dragon, one of the Four Spirits of the East.

　　As for how he healed?

　　Of course, it was to directly extinguish the cause and effect of [injury].

　　Theoretically speaking, Wei Yuan could almost handle 99% of the injury problems in the entire world.

　　He only needed to conceptualize this injury, and then use the power of swordsmanship to cut off the cause and effect between the injury and the injured. Since there was no cause, then naturally there would be no effect of injury, so the injury would directly heal on the conceptual and law level.

　　However, this method also had its great limitations, that is, traces left by special forces such as heaven and earth, fate, and humanity were not so effective, and the Azure Dragon himself had once been King Zhou Mu of the human world, and had also had a relationship with Yao Ji, who was the Queen Mother at that time.

　　Perhaps because of the dragon Qi, he was later reincarnated as King Chu, and again had a Wushan cloud and rain relationship with Yao Ji, who was the Wushan goddess at that time.

　　Because of his experience of being a king twice, Yao Ji asked him.

　　The Azure Dragon pondered for a while, and said, "Probably it is to open up new territories, and also to divide the people and nobles over there, and let them guard the borders in place of the king, and also to send back the many treasures of the myriad worlds to satisfy the king's desires."

　　"Selecting beauties, searching for precious jade, the world's natural treasures, all gathered on one person's body."

　　"This is the king's privilege."

　　He thought for a while, and added, "Or perhaps, it will be the beginning and requirement of the Great Qin iron cavalry conquering the myriad worlds. After all, that is the emperor who once opened up the era of Great Unification, and the heart of conquest should never have grown old."

　　"Tsk tsk tsk, the king's privilege, huh."

　　Yao Ji curled her lips unhappily, and then casually opened the scroll in her hand, saying, "But well, it's normal. The way of heaven diminishes what is in excess and supplements what is insufficient; the way of man is the opposite. The way of man diminishes what is insufficient to serve what is in excess, and the king is precisely the person with the greatest desires among all the human races."

　　"The First Emperor must be the one with the greatest desires among all the emperors."

　　"Tsk, I want to see what this king will say..."

　　She unfolded the entire scroll, and her gaze swept over it.

　　Then the displeasure on her face solidified.
