Chapter 2105: Pragmatic Narakuten (Additional Update)
He Lingchuan's smile was very friendly. The previous aggressive and arrogant feeling seemed to disappear along with the armor.
Apart from that, everything around the spring was still in its original position, except that the grass and trees were a little messy; he subconsciously looked outside the valley and saw people coming and going, military affairs were busy, and everything was the same as before.
It was as if the previous whirlwind and black fog had never happened.
“What’s going on?” My brother had such a big reaction after the mark of the gods was moved away?
"It's okay. After removing the mark, my mind is finally clear and unobstructed." This surge of divine consciousness had been suppressed for a long time, and he was just looking for an outlet for the time being.
After he made his great wish, his heart was firm. After the suppression from the gods was removed, this sea of consciousness was truly like a vast sea where fish can leap freely.
At this moment, He Lingchuan's inner divine light was like a sword in its sheath.
"King Shen is right. This is indeed what I need most right now."
He was originally the destined skin of Narakuten. He used the power of the Dafang Pot to trick Narakuten's clone down and trap him, and used a bug to temporarily block Narakuten's divine descent channel.
But this hidden danger still exists and has not disappeared. The world is changing too fast today. If the rules change one day, he may have new troubles.
There are only two ways to erase the mark of the gods:
Or, the god who planted the mark took it back on his own initiative;
Either the power of the skin is so strong that it surpasses that of the gods, or at least it can compete with them, and the mark can no longer trap him.
Now Narakutian has taken the initiative to take back the mark in He Lingchuan's sea of consciousness and eliminated his hidden danger. This is the most sincere gesture of goodwill, far better than any gold, silver, jewelry and covenant.
Of course, the premise for Naraku Tian to do this is that He Lingchuan himself is becoming increasingly powerful.
Can he control the dissolute son of Governor Bian Long of Yuan Kingdom? Can he control the Emperor Jiuyou who unified the Shining Golden Plain and ended the thousand-year conflict?
A chicken coop cannot trap a tiger. Restraint and restriction are relative to the strength of power.
The reason why this gift is what He Lingchuan needs "right now" is because his strength is growing too fast and has infinite possibilities. Perhaps one day he will be able to break the seal by himself.
Precisely because of this foresight, Narakuten might as well take the initiative to collect the seal now and regard this action as a sincere gift and a powerful bargaining chip.
While He Lingchuan's heart was in turmoil, he also admired Narakutian a little.
This guy lets go when he says he wants to, and trades when he needs to. He is much more pragmatic than other righteous gods.
He Yue understood and said almost in unison with Dong Rui: "Congratulations!"
The ghost ape also grinned at him.
He Lingchuan accepted it with a smile, picked up He Chunhua's letter and continued reading.
In addition to the colorful articles, the letter also mentioned a series of small countries around it. Shen State was willing to take the lead in organizing a sea-going team to build a bridge of friendship and trade between Shanjin and the countries headed by Shen State.
Translated into plain language, Shen State not only does business with Shanjin itself, but also persuades a bunch of small countries behind it to do business with Shanjin.
This is a favor that Shen State would do for nothing. But Emperor Jiuyou would be pleased to see this, as Cangyan State was just established not long ago and was seeking to communicate with the world.
"Good, great!" He Lingchuan was indeed very happy and signed and stamped the contract document that He Yue took out on the spot.
From then on, Shen State and Cangyan officially established diplomatic relations and communicated with each other.
He Yue was still a little hesitant even though he had completed more than half of this long business trip.
He Lingchuan saw his hesitation: "Why? Just tell me."
"I...Queen Shen also prepared some gifts for Emperor Jiuyou."
"Oh?" Mrs. Ying prepared it? No, she should be called Queen Ying.
He Yue felt relieved when he saw He Lingchuan was very interested, and he took out another brocade box and presented it to him.
The things in the box are very simple, two small jars, one blue and one white, and a small piece of clothing.
He Lingchuan opened a jar and smelled a familiar aroma.
The incense of sandalwood, with a hint of mint to refresh the mind, is the most commonly used incense by the He family in Blackwater City.
The other jar contained pieces of brown-red marshmallow paste, and a sour fragrance wafted out as soon as the lid was opened.
"Sour jujube paste." This is Queen Ying's most famous dessert. In the past, the He brothers always liked to sneak two pieces from the cupboard to eat after dinner. It tastes sour and sweet, and helps digestion and relieves greasiness.
He Lingchuan put down the jar and picked up the light yellow dress with two fingers: "What is this?"
The clothes were too small and the material was very soft, as if they were for infants under one year old; although they were well preserved, He Lingchuan could see that they were quite old.
"Queen Shen said that these were the clothes the emperor wore when he was a child, and they were made before he was born." He Yue was repeating his mother's words, word for word.
He didn't quite understand the purpose of his mother giving him this dress, but all three gifts were reviewed and approved by his father.
It was made before he was born? He Lingchuan's eyebrows moved. Then the person who sewed this dress was not Madam Ying, but his original mother Lu Xiaoyun!
Apart from the jade pendant, this little piece of clothing is probably the only relic left to "He Lingchuan" by his biological mother.
Queen Ying took it out and returned it to its original owner, also to clarify this worldly relationship.
The last time He Lingchuan left Yuan Country, he had already torn his face with He Chunhua and exposed his cards. This so-called "father-son relationship" was worse than that of strangers. This time, He Chunhua was determined to establish diplomatic relations with Cangyan Country. He knew that He Lingchuan didn't like him personally, so his congratulatory letters and official documents were all handled in a businesslike manner, without mentioning the father-son relationship, and he didn't even dare to show the slightest intention of being close.
But he sent He Yue.
The gifts sent by Queen Ying were all common household items, and He Lingchuan would be reminded of the past when he saw them.
What does it mean?
I, He Chunhua, have let you down and offended you, but He Yue has not. He is still your good brother, and Madam Ying has never treated you unfairly.
He Lingchuan sneered slightly. She was truly worthy of being He Chunhua. She had grasped the degree of friendly gesture and closeness just right, so that even if he was unhappy, he could not get angry.
This wave of trying to get close to someone was subtle yet decent.
He sighed softly and asked He Yue: "Is Queen Shen okay?"
"Very good." He Yue said without hesitation, "I've been busy in and out of the harem all day, either playing with my grandchildren or scolding people, and I've even gained a few pounds."
After saying a few words, he felt that his words seemed too intimate, so he quickly tried to make amends: "Emperor, I..."
He Lingchuan interrupted him: "How are you doing?"
He Yue raised his head suddenly, opened his mouth, but said nothing.
When Emperor Jiuyou asked Queen Shen, it could be considered a courtesy inquiry, but when he asked him directly, it was just a greeting between brothers!
He was a little incoherent: "Okay, very good. I..."
He Lingchuan turned around first, took a piece of sour jujube paste from the jar and ate it, then smiled and patted his shoulder: "You are already a father, but you are still so unstable."
