Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1222: Chapter 1178: That Deep Malice

Chen Xi thought about the current system and what Xu Shu and Lub Su said, and suddenly felt that there was some truth to it. However, he absolutely couldn’t accept the idea of the Nine-Tailed White Fox.

Chen Xi didn’t even need to think; once the Nine-Tailed Fox was defined as a femme fatale, the infinitely rich future would surely feature his own unofficial histories and secret tales.

Thinking about this made Chen Xi’s face turn green. The Three Kingdoms period in the future is already overflowing with various couples and homoerotic stories, and now there would be another character destined to be immortalized in history as the Nine-Tailed White Fox, which he feared would inevitably become the subject of countless shipping fantasies.

”I feel a deep malice from the world.” Chen Xi looked at Li Youu, who also wore a depressed look, feeling the same malice from the world.

”I find Chen Xi’s words quite reasonable.” Jia Xu was also depressed now, and turned to look at Guo Jia who had been lively just moments before; it was clear that the previously debonair Guo Jia was now feeling down.

The four of them exchanged glances full of helplessness; Chen Xi and Guo Jia have always been openly slacking off, while Jia Xu did it secretly. Li Youu followed Liu Bei, just mending things, and Chen Xi thought about future secret histories of himself, leaving Jia Xu and others to ponder how to work hard.

”Forget it, let’s not tell anyone about today’s affairs. As for the odd spectacles around the world, let them be.” Chen Xi said in a casual tone, as if trying to downplay the matter, actually fearing the homoerotic implications.

”I never expected the Heaven-Man Dual Cauldrons to have such effects.” Liu Bei looked at the altar where the radiance of the two bronze cauldrons had already withdrawn, with a face full of amazement, ”Wen Ru, I ask you to continue helping me with oversight and improvements.”

”This is already within my scope of duties.” Li Youu nodded calmly, ”However, due to the complexity of the administrative tasks, it’s hard for me to manage all with just my spirit and strength, so I ask you, Lord, to assign Kongming to work under me and help handle affairs together.”

Li Youu made it clear he wanted to take Zhuge Liang under his wing; Liu Bei thought briefly and agreed, knowing very well that Li Youu probably felt Zhuge Liang was a workaholic, but since Zhuge Liang came to Liu Bei’s domain, mainly Li Youu has been mentoring him.

To Liu Bei, Li Youu’s performance stood out compared to others; leading a genius like Zhuge Liang would make the most of his talent. As for Chen Xi, forget it—he had taken Lul Xun and handed him over to Jia Xu, so Zhuge Liang being taught by Li Youu seemed very fitting to Liu Bei.

”Greetings, Master Li.” Zhuge Liang respectfully performed a half-master’s ceremony to Li Youu. Indeed, Zhuge Liang had considered apprenticing under Li Youu, but Li Youu refused, willing to impart all his knowledge, understanding that Zhuge Liang surpassing him was just a matter of time.

”You’ll likely be busier from now on.” Li Youu said with a smile, although not too busy, as Liu Bei’s subordinate officials were managed by him. If Chen Xi was seen as the Outward Appearance, Li Youu was essentially the Inner Prime Minister for Liu Bei, resembling a chief supervisor who has to inspect everything.

Chen Xi glanced at Zhuge Liang; Li Youu was indeed the best teacher for Zhuge Liang, even more suitable than Lord Pang De, not only due to experience but also due to Li Youu’s comprehensive capabilities.

Li Youu himself is versatile, so over the years he’s become extremely adept at utilizing his abilities, combining them, and making full use of his comprehensive skills in complex environments.

”By the way, Zilong’s Fortune Manifestation—what is this?” Chen Xi slightly leaned back, speaking to Jia Xu and Guo Jia, since neither of them had managed to push Li Youu aside, leaving these two presumably more at ease.

”White Dragon phantom.” ”White Dragon spirit!” Guo Jia and Jia Xu both spoke simultaneously, then exchanged glances, and Jia Xu said, ”And it’s not just that; Zilong made the same move as us, and his Fate isn’t less than ours two.”

”It’s just a pity we two are civilians, not reacting as fast.” Guo Jia said helplessly; Zhao Yun is probably the most fortunate among all generals.

”Zilong has always adhered to the path of Zhongyong, entirely different from the two of you who are either cunningly slippery or prioritize self-preservation.” Chen Xi said annoyed, ”But what if someone intercepts those escaped fates and how would it be if these Vitality Numbers manage to reach...”

The three exchanged glances, a gleam passing in their eyes, ”Grand Assembly, Cao Cao!”

Over a hundred strands of Light of Fortune, as soon as they flew out, seemed to make their own choices; apart from those that naturally chose certain people in Ye City, the rest of the radiance, upon rising several hundred meters, suddenly scattered like fireworks.

Those Lights of Fortune that flew out from Liu Bei’s courtyard each took on their own colors, with many immediately landing in Ye City, while Cai Wenji was amusing her nephew when a purple light fell upon her, producing a phantom of an ancient Fuxi-era zither, which vanished in a moment.

Adou’s living quarters in Liu Bei’s back garden had a purple-golden light fall on him, its purple-golden crown flickering and disappearing.

More Lights of Fortune flew out of Ye City and scattered in all directions; Sunx Ce, who was hosting a banquet with a group of subordinates, had a dozen radiances enter them directly, but compared to Sunx Ce, Zhou Yu and Pang De promptly manifested signs of fortune, leaving others slightly lacking.

”Phoenix?” Pang Tong twitched his eyes somewhat; although typically, phoenix refers to male, anyone seeing Sunx Ce’s dragon emitting a Golden Flame would inevitably misunderstand.

”But what is Gongjin manifesting?” Pang Tong still looked puzzled, saying that such scattered fortunes resembling clouds usually indicate a lack of shape-forming Fate, but with the remarkably overwhelming Fortune from Zhou Yu, Pang Tong didn’t believe it.

”Golden Cloud...” Zhou Yu murmured quietly, looking at Sunx Ce’s Golden Dragon quite satisfied. He essentially served as Sunx Ce’s foil; clouds follow the dragon, and without the dragon, he’d be somewhat useless, as no one else could use him as smoothly as Sunx Ce.

Flying further south, the radiance grew scarce, until only one red and one purple strand remained, speeding towards the south at incredible speed.

Zixu recently had been flying to the point of vomiting; fortunately, he hardly needed food or rest, but seeing nothing but ocean daily was really making Zixu sick.

During this nauseating flight, his deepest impression was flying past a very tall mountain and arriving at quite a splendid location, where the buildings everywhere were essentially towers.

Zixu, playing the fool, went to peek at the tallest tower he saw and was attacked by a bald figure that emerged from within, feeling that the means of manipulating Heaven and Earth Essence to match one’s attacks, typical of Inner Qi Manifestation Generals, was rampant there.
