Chapter 1873

~6 min read 1,113 words

"Brother Zheng is so old, yet he ate the Longevity Pill and turned into a young man."

"I am still so young right now; if I eat the Longevity Pill, will I turn into a child?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye was ultimately helpless and could only ask the National Destiny Manifestation System.

【Whatever the host looks like now, that is what you will look like after consuming it.】

【Due to your constitution, you will not turn into a child.】

The cold voice of the National Destiny Manifestation System rang out in Ying Ying Zi Ye's mind.

"Constitution, is it?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye heard this.

He finally felt at ease.

Previously, when he was researching the Longevity Pill, he had also asked the National Destiny Manifestation System.

But the National Destiny Manifestation System had ignored him.

Now that he was asking about this Longevity Pill, he had been prepared for the system not to reply.

Who would have thought the system would actually reply to him.

"Since I'll look the same whether I eat it or not, I might as well eat it."

"Increasing my lifespan, perhaps even retaining my youth forever—why not?"

Thinking this, Ying Ying Zi Ye opened his mouth and swallowed the black pill into his stomach.

At first, he didn't feel anything.

Gradually, he began to feel a warm current flowing through his body, as if he were bathing in a hot spring.

This feeling was very comfortable, and he fell asleep unconsciously while lying on the rocking chair.

When he woke up again.

He was awakened by a foul stench.

Getting up to look, he discovered his body was covered in a layer of sticky black substance.

"I thought this physical fitness was already very strong, so why would it still expel so many impurities?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye was puzzled; he wasn't Brother Zheng's elderly body, so why did he still expel so many impurities?

There was no time to think; he hurriedly ran out to bathe.

This smell was too pungent.

Fortunately, there was no one here, otherwise, people would have been knocked unconscious by the stench.

It wasn't until an hour later.

That Ying Ying Zi Ye got up from the bath.

By this time, the entire bath had turned black.

He truly dared not imagine that those black substances would have such strong staining power.

The entire bathhouse was filled with a foul stench.

He estimated that this bath could not be used again for a short time.

He ordered the servants to clean up the place and turned to leave.

The servants came to clean the bath and vomited three or four times before they managed to clean it.

Yet a foul stench lingered for a long time.

Ying Ying Zi Ye returned to the main hall and fetched a bronze mirror to check his appearance.

He felt the change wasn't very large, just relatively whiter and more tender.

He didn't discover any special changes for the time being.

The Crown Prince's residence was quiet.

But all parts of Great Qin were bustling with activity.

The Great Qin Daily Society deserved much of the credit.

The news that His Majesty the Emperor had consumed an immortal pill and regained his youth was published in the paper.

This news spread rapidly throughout all of Great Qin.

The first reaction of everyone who received this news was disbelief.

But this was news released by the Great Qin Daily Society.

The Great Qin Daily Society never deigned to publish fake news.

Therefore, more and more people slowly began to believe this matter.

They also slowly understood the ins and outs of this matter.

Everyone's first reaction was that there were immortals in this world!

Otherwise, how could there be longevity?

And how could there be a return to youth?

A wave of searching for immortals was set off.

There were also quite a few people searching for longevity.

However, those who knew this news were exceptionally excited.

If Qin Shi Huang did not die for thousands of years, then they could have peace for many years.

Some people had lived through war-torn eras before.

The only things war brought them were the tragic deaths of friends and family, and not having enough to eat.

If Qin Shi Huang did not die, then they could have stability for many years.

Not just them, but their descendants could also enjoy peace.

No one wanted war; war only caused deaths, and war only meant not having enough to eat.

Now, under the rule of Qin Shi Huang, everyone could eat their fill.

They even had extra money to buy more good food and clothing.

Their lives were well-fed and well-clothed.

If the emperor were changed, they could not guarantee they would still be able to live such a life.

Therefore, the longer the Emperor lived, the better it was for them.

They wished the Emperor would reign for ten thousand years.

If that were truly the case, then Great Qin would have eternal peace.

Their descendants would not need to experience the ravages of war.

This was something many commoners were willing to see.

Now, this wish was about to be realized.

None were happier than the common people.

They didn't care who was emperor, as long as they could eat well and dress warmly.

They supported anyone to be emperor.

Now, the Emperor had achieved these things they needed.

Therefore, they loved and respected the Emperor.

They hoped the Emperor would live for a thousand or even ten thousand years.

In these few days, Great Qin was as festive as if it were the New Year.

Every household was making plenty of good food to celebrate together.

Celebrating Qin Shi Huang's return to youth, celebrating Qin Shi Huang's longevity.

Whether it was the big streets and small alleys, or a small village tucked away in a corner.

Those who received this news all decided to celebrate properly.

It was evident that there were still many people in all of Great Qin who supported Qin Shi Huang.

However, there were also some underground rats who, upon learning this news, hid even deeper.

A kingdom was so large; where there were people who supported Qin Shi Huang, there were certainly those who opposed him.

But now, no one dared to come out and run wild; once discovered, it was a capital crime.

Therefore, no one dared to stir up trouble at this critical juncture.

Longevity was a terrifying term.

Since the beginning of history, no one had been able to possess longevity.

If the Emperor had longevity, then no one in this world would be able to overthrow Great Qin.
