Chapter 1858

"You are...?"

Xu Fu looked at the young man before him.

The face seemed vaguely familiar, yet he could not place who it was.

But this person wore a dragon robe and bore a certain resemblance to Qin Shi Huang.

Could it be that a son of Qin Shi Huang had ascended the throne and proclaimed himself Emperor?

Knowing that he was the one who had caused Qin Shi Huang's death, had that son come here to find him?

"This poor Daoist observes that this young master's physiognomy is that of a man whose power overwhelms the heavens."

"So young and already draped in a dragon robe — he must be the late Emperor's son, yes?"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty has finally come to find your servant."

"Your servant has waited for Your Majesty so hard, it was exhausting."

Xu Fu took this to be the new Emperor of Great Qin.

Otherwise, how could he possibly be draped in a dragon robe?

And how could General Zhang Han possibly be following at his side?

If it was the new Emperor, then he would be easy to fool.

Ma Pi absolutely had to be offered.

Such flattery he could produce at will.

Yet he was also somewhat puzzled.

After Qin Shi Huang passed away, wasn't it Prince Fu Su who took the throne?

He didn't seem to have seen this young master before — he had no idea what his name was.

Xu Fu was curious, but he did not dare ask.

"Hahahaha....!"

Ying Zheng burst into laughter upon hearing these words.

Didn't Xu Fu's words amount to thinking that Qin Shi Huang was dead?

Thinking he was a son of Qin Shi Huang — what an utterly ridiculous joke.

Xu Fu was somewhat dumbfounded, not knowing why the young man before him had suddenly burst into wild laughter.

Moreover, that voice seemed to carry a faintly familiar feeling, and he could not tell what was going on.

"Xu Fu, you have quite the nerve!"

"Already forgotten This One so quickly?"

"This One has been thinking of you every single moment!"

Ying Zheng laughed even more happily.

He hadn't expected Xu Fu not to recognize him.

Xu Fu heard these words, and his mind reeled as if struck by five thunderbolts.

His whole body staggered back a few steps, and losing his footing, he crashed to the ground.

That voice was far too familiar — he would never forget it in his life.

Though the appearance had grown younger and the voice had changed somewhat,

the expression and manner of doing things were exactly the same as that man's!

"You... you......"

"You are... Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng???"

Xu Fu collapsed limp on the ground, his whole body trembling.

He could not believe this outcome.

How could Qin Shi Huang possibly have grown young?

This was impossible!

There was no elixir of immortality in this world.

Then why had Qin Shi Huang become so young?

Xu Fu was terrified — Qin Shi Huang had not died, and had even grown so young.

And now he had come to exact revenge on him.

What was he to do about this?

Could he resist?

"Finally remembered This One?"

"You failed to find the elixir of immortality for This One."

"But This One has now obtained it, and has grown young."

"This, I expect you did not anticipate?"

"You deceived This One without any bottom line — tell me, how should This One deal with you?"

Ying Zheng revealed a sinister smile.

That smile made cold sweat run down Xu Fu's spine.

"Your Majesty, listen to my explanation, listen to my explanation!"

Xu Fu was greatly alarmed — was there truly an elixir of immortality in this world?

But if there truly wasn't one, why had Qin Shi Huang grown so young?

But if there truly was, he had never been able to find one all these years.

If he had found it, he would have taken it himself; he would never have given it to Qin Shi Huang.

He crawled on his knees toward Ying Zheng.

But before he could get close, Ying Zheng kicked him flying.

"Dressed in a dragon robe, wearing a ceremonial headdress, claiming the title of Heavenly Emperor while holed up in a corner."

"In this situation, do you still wish to explain?"

"I am curious what explanation you might offer."

Ying Zheng sat back down on the massive rock.

Around him, thousands of children, large and small.

When they heard the man before them was the Great Qin's Qin Shi Huang, they all knelt down.

"Your Majesty, may you live ten thousand years! May the Great Qin live ten thousand years!"

"Your Majesty, may you live ten thousand years! May the Great Qin live ten thousand years!"

The children's young voices cried out.

After all, they had not been here long.

They had not been fully brainwashed by Xu Fu.

They knew they were people of the Great Qin.

They had merely been sent to this place.

Now that they saw their emperor, they naturally paid homage.

Ying Zheng temporarily did not respond to the children.

Instead, he stared at Xu Fu, waiting to see what further excuses the man might offer.

Ying Zi Ye also watched the kneeling Xu Fu with interest.

Xu Fu's age was roughly between thirty and forty.

Dressed in a dragon robe, wearing a ceremonial headdress, he still looked human enough.

Whether or not Xu Fu was guilty, merely wearing this attire made him guilty.

He was curious how this alchemist would defend himself.

"This..."

Xu Fu's mind raced.

If he did not give a perfect explanation today,

he might die here today.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant has been searching for the Elixir of Immortality for you."

"But after arriving at Penglai Immortal Island, our ship was wrecked and we could not return."
