Chapter 169: King of Qin, I observe that your forehead is dark; I fear you will soon face a bloody disaster!
"Hmm?!"
"Is it you, this Spirit Beast, who is speaking?!"
Upon hearing the voice transmitted by Jiang Che, the King of Qin was suddenly startled.
He then hurriedly and vigilantly scanned his surroundings, before finally looking with some astonishment at Jiang Che in Luo Shuiyan's arms.
Clearly, the voice that had just sounded could only have come from this Spirit Beast held in her arms.
"Stop looking, it was me who transmitted the voice to you just now."
Jiang Che, being watched by the King of Qin, continued to transmit his voice nonchalantly.
The King of Qin's expression was one of astonishment; this was his first time encountering a Spirit Beast capable of transmitting its voice to a human and engaging in such human-like communication.
"May I ask how to address you, Excellency?"
The King of Qin did not lose his manners just because Jiang Che was merely a Spirit Beast.
On the contrary, he was very polite and his posture was extremely humble.
This was because he could see that Jiang Che was currently only at level sixty-four.
To have such a low level, yet be able to retreat unscathed from the hands of that Demon Half-Saint.
And to be able to kill a group of Demon Race Venerable Rank powerhouses in the blink of an eye—this strength was not just ordinarily formidable.
An ordinary Seventh-Order Demonic Beast could not possibly achieve this! This was enough to prove that Jiang Che's bloodline talent was extremely extraordinary.
Although his level was relatively low right now, his future achievements would surely be remarkable! Even setting aside future achievements, Jiang Che could easily kill Venerable Rank experts even at this moment.
Such formidable strength was enough for the King of Qin to treat him with great seriousness.
"I am Luo Shuiyan's Human Tamer; I do not change my name or surname, I am Jiang Che!"
Jiang Che said indifferently, head held high.
Hearing these words, the King of Qin could not help but raise his eyebrows.
Even though he was the monarch of a nation, he had spent this entire night in constant astonishment.
The King of Qin had not expected that a Spirit Beast would actually have a proper human name.
Usually, the Human Race gave names to Spirit Beasts quite casually.
After all, most people only regarded Spirit Beasts as partners for battle.
But what surprised him even more was the term "Human Tamer"... why did it sound so strange?
Usually, everyone was called a Beast Tamer, and he had never heard of any "Human Tamer."
After all, in the process of growing up, signing contracts with Spirit Beasts was always based on the Beast Tamer as the master and the Spirit Beast as the auxiliary.
Could it be that between Jiang Che and Luo Shuiyan, it was the opposite?
Was their contract based on the Spirit Beast as the master, and the human as the auxiliary? That was too bizarre!
The King of Qin grumbled slightly in his heart, then shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.
"I wonder if Mr. Jiang would be willing to join the Military Department of my Da Qin?"
Facing such formidable strength and such keen intelligence from Jiang Che, the King of Qin did not treat him as an ordinary Spirit Beast.
Instead, he treated Jiang Che as a powerful existence on par with the powerhouses of the Human Race.
Through the previous descriptions by Luo Shuiyan and the others, the King of Qin had already learned.
The reason why Luo Shuiyan and the others were able to retreat unscathed today under the siege of the Demon Half-Saint and a group of Venerable Rank powerhouses.
And even counter-killed a large number of Demon Race Venerables, was mainly attributed to Jiang Che, this very mysterious and powerful Spirit Beast.
Such a powerful existence made the King of Qin harbor intentions of recruitment.
Seeing the King of Qin and Jiang Che face-to-face, staring at each other with wide eyes, yet neither saying a word.
Luo Shuiyan and the others did not speak up to disturb them; they were already long accustomed to this method of voice transmission from Xiaobai.
The group knew that this was Xiaobai communicating with the King of Qin through his mind.
"Forget it, that won't be necessary."
Facing the invitation from the King of Qin, Jiang Che refused directly and decisively.
Not to mention that in this life, he originally only wanted to lie flat and did not want to cause more trouble.
He was, after all, the leader of the Zhatian Gang.
Under the diligent efforts of Little Tiger and the other vice-leaders, the Zhatian Gang had long since developed into a massive force.
As the leader, how could he become a subordinate to others! Wouldn't that lower his own status? Most importantly, the scale of one's influence would affect the system's Entry judgment.
If, by any chance, he joined the Qin Military Department and caused an error in the Entry judgment, the loss would be enormous!
Being directly refused by Jiang Che, the King of Qin felt it was a pity for a moment.
After all, everyone wanted to recruit such a formidable existence into their own ranks.
If Jiang Che were there, the borders of Qin would be much more stable.
"King of Qin, I observe that your forehead is dark; I fear you will soon face a bloody disaster."
Jiang Che gazed at the King of Qin before him and said in a deep voice.
He suddenly sensed that the other party's body seemed to have some abnormalities, clearly signs of being deeply poisoned! Although there were some issues in the King of Qin's body a few days ago, they were only very slight.
But having not seen him for just this short period, Jiang Che discovered that new toxins had been added to the King of Qin's body.
It was obvious that the person poisoning him had increased the dosage.
There was a lot of this toxin, and much of it had not even been absorbed by the body yet.
"Forehead is dark? A bloody disaster?"
Hearing these words from Jiang Che, the King of Qin's expression turned serious for a moment.
He knew that for Jiang Che to be able to say these words so definitively to his face, it certainly could not be groundless.
It was very likely some kind of hint for him.
The King of Qin also knew that undercurrents were surging around him, and many people wanted Qin to change its monarch.
"I humbly ask for your guidance, sir!"
He immediately began to consult Jiang Che with an open mind.
Although he was the monarch of a country, he did not put on any airs as the King of Qin, and his attitude was extremely humble.
Seeing the King of Qin like this, Jiang Che nodded with satisfaction.
"Seeing that your attitude is not bad and you are somewhat pleasing to the eye, I will kindly tell you."
"Judging from your current physical condition, you have been poisoned by someone."
"Poisoned?!"
Upon hearing this, the King of Qin immediately furrowed his brows, his expression looking extremely unsightly.
He had indeed noticed some physical discomfort over the past two days.
However, the King of Qin had not paid much attention to it.
After all, for the sake of Qin, he could be said to have handled everything personally.
The King of Qin only thought he was too worried about state affairs and thus somewhat exhausted, so he had not taken it to heart.
Jiang Che's voice transmission at this moment included both Shang Jun and Luo Shuiyan.
Hearing that the King of Qin had actually been poisoned, Shang Jun, who was on the side, was immediately astonished.
One must know that the King of Qin was the monarch of a country; daring to poison the King of Qin was simply audacious! Luo Shuiyan's expression was calm; she had already known that the King of Qin had been poisoned by someone.
It was just that the toxin required more than a decade of accumulation to ruin the King of Qin's body and make him beyond saving.
Therefore, Luo Shuiyan had not directly spoken of this matter during this period.
Originally, she had planned to establish a firm foothold after arriving in Qin, and then ferret out the person who had administered the poison step by step.
But hearing what Jiang Che had just said, the King of Qin would actually face a bloody disaster in the near future...
"What is the situation? Why does it not align with my own memories?"
"Could it be... that those who poisoned him are desperate and acting recklessly?!"
Luo Shuiyan was suddenly startled; she had suddenly realized it.
According to the original historical progression, it was indeed as it was in her memory, that the King of Qin would only die from the poison after more than a decade.
But she herself had already broken the progression of history.
She and the others had come to Qin and were also strongly supporting Shang Jun's legalist reforms.
The black hand in the shadows must have certainly sensed the threat she brought.
That was why they were so impatient to move up the time of the poison's onset! (End of chapter)
