I'm Going Crazy Because I Can't Contract With The Heroic Spirit.

Chapter 165 Forbearance And Half-Jiao

Lu Buwei laughed again and said, "Did your Majesty go out to play in the palace today?"

Ying Zheng said warmly: "Exactly. Father Zhong, do you have any advice?"

"How dare you, how dare you." Lu Buwei smiled and waved his hands: "It's just that the world is in chaos now, and I personally think that the king should read more books to prepare for the future, rather than indulge in entertainment."

‘Control Chao Gang? ’ Ying Zheng sneered in his heart.

Nowadays, in troubled times, countries are in chaos, and it is not uncommon for kings to die while their eldest sons are still young.

To exercise royal authority, one must first become an adult, which is to hold a crowning ceremony.

In other countries, cases can even be found of people who were crowned at the age of nine and took charge of government affairs, but in his case, they had to wait until they were twenty years old before being crowned.

In the current imperial court, his father-in-law and his mother-in-law, Zhao Ji, each control half of the sky. The other important ministers also have authority, but he is the only one who has power in name only.

He didn't even know if he would live to hold the crowning ceremony.

A trace of resentment flashed in his heart, but his face remained respectful: "That's what Father Zhong taught you."

Lu Buwei said some irrelevant words to him again, and suddenly said:

"By the way, although according to the laws of Qi, a man reaches adulthood at the age of twenty. But we in Da Qin have our own laws, and the age for men to reach adulthood is twenty-two."

"I have discussed with the Queen Mother and feel that we, the Qin Dynasty, should follow our own laws and crown the king when he is twenty-two years old. Only then can he personally manage the affairs of the state."

"I wonder what your Majesty... thinks?"

‘Since you have already discussed it with your mother, why are you still asking for my opinion? ’

Ying Zheng sneered in his heart. What they both agreed on was what had been decided. This means I have to press myself for two more years.

He didn't struggle, with a gentle and respectful smile on his face: "Father Zhong makes the decision."

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Lu Buwei stroked his goatee with a smile.

He also had some conversations with the young master who had no authority.

At this time, as if he had just seen it, he pointed at the black snake coiled beside the stove: "Where did this snake come from?"

Ying Zheng replied: "Today I am going to Yuyao Sect to play and ask for it from Sect Leader Yang."

Lu Buwei has a lot of cultivation, and he has repeatedly confirmed that this snake only has some spiritual knowledge and cannot become a climate.

However, he still said: "The demon snake is wild and difficult to tame, and I am afraid that it will hurt the king. If not this snake is replaced, can I bring other spiritual beasts to the king someday?"

"No need to trouble Father Zhong."

The goal has been achieved, and it doesn't matter if Ying Zheng wants to keep a demonic snake that is not threatening.

Lu Buwei bowed and left.

Looking at his leaving figure, Ying Zheng's eyes were dark.

His eyes were as clear as clear pools, as if they were hiding nothing.

But only if you look carefully, you will find that this clear pool is so deep. The clear water surface dives no matter how far down and turns into a black abyss.

Lu Buwei seemed to be aware of it and turned around to look, only to see the young master standing on tiptoes to pick up the books on the bookshelf. The black snake was lying on the ground like it was sleeping.

So he strode away easily, shaking his head.

…

[You already know that Ying Zheng is in danger, but fortunately the source of his danger is that he is still young and has difficulty convincing the public. 】

[Lu Buwei and Empress Dowager Zhao Ji used the Qin Law to suppress Ying Zheng's crown ceremony until the age of twenty-two, but it is impossible to postpone it any further, otherwise there will be backlash. 】

[So the key to Ying Zheng’s rise to power is to survive these crucial nine years. 】

[Ying Zheng's strategy is to keep a low profile and be patient. As long as he holds on until he reaches adulthood and takes power, all those who seek rebellion can be defeated. 】

[But you think in your heart that Ying Zheng knows this, and Lu Buwei also knows it. I'm afraid the last few years will be difficult. 】

[However, as a demon snake who has just arrived here, you did not express your thoughts. 】

[No matter what happens next, what is most needed at this stage is tolerance and development. 】

[Although you are just an ordinary demon snake with low talent, Ying Zheng is happy to invest a lot of training resources in you without expecting anything in return. 】

Although Ying Zheng hardly has much real power, it is still very easy to use the treasury to cultivate a playmate snake demon.

Everything he did was seen by Lu Buwei.

Lu Buwei sent someone to Yuyao Sect for confirmation, and it was confirmed that the black snake was just a breeding snake.

So he smiled disdainfully: If he really has the temper of a child, what is the use of wasting so many natural resources on an ordinary demon snake?

It would be understandable if he really cultivated some alien spiritual beast to be his personal bodyguard, but cultivating such a snake demon would be a pure waste.

However, he naturally would not say it, but waved his hand: Since the king wants this, why bother with the old minister? The king just needs to open the treasury.

With the help of Ying Zheng, Chen Ming's development speed was like a rocket.

Although his talent is low, don't forget that blood is the most important thing in the demon clan.

With a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures as well as secret methods specially used to purify blood.

In addition to his cultivation, his talent has also skyrocketed.

Coupled with the techniques contributed by various demon clan bosses to the Yuling Association, one can imagine the speed of cultivation.

In less than three years, he has almost completely shed his snake body and become a dragon.

Of course, apart from these, Chen Ming always felt that his cultivation progress might not be related to Ying Zheng.

Maybe some people are really born with "dragon energy" and "luck".

"Xiao Hei, have you completely turned into a dragon this time?!"

Ying Zheng dismissed the others and was greatly shocked when he saw the dragon-like beast with its sinuous body that almost filled the entire room.

"...."

When he heard the name Xiao Hei, Chen Ming didn't want to pay attention to him.

But in fact, Chen Ming is not a dragon at this time.

He has evolved all the four claws and scales of the dragon.

However, he did not have dragon horns on his head, but a small bulge.

When the bulge ruptures and gives birth to dragon horns, he becomes a dragon completely.

But according to Chen Ming's knowledge, when the demon snake turns into a dragon, there will be thunder disaster and other strange phenomena.

Now that he and Ying Zheng are holding back, it is naturally impossible for him to completely transform the dragon.

Instead, according to the secret method of a demon boss who almost turned into a pure-blooded true dragon, all the demon power overflowing from the body was stored in the bulge on the head.

Waiting for the opportunity to soar into the sky.

"call……"

A stream of white air spurted out from the body, and the sinuous and fierce beast slowly disappeared.

The bulge retracted, the four claws entered the body, and even the sharp and cold scales turned black.

The dragon transformed back into a seven or eight meter long black snake in just a few breaths.

This is not a form of transformation, but an extremely profound magical power of transformation.

The dragon's horns, dragon's claws, and dragon's scales were all reduced to his own flesh and blood, as if they were fake.

Therefore, no matter how advanced the cultivator is, he cannot see through his true identity because he does not hide it at all.

Ying Zheng stroked his snake head, his eyes showing a mysterious color.

Although he didn't understand the mysteries of monsters and beasts, he could easily see how abnormal the so-called "seed snake" he had selected in his mind was.

There must be many hidden secrets in it.

But so what?

As long as it's for your own use, so what if it's a secret?

He believed that he could control it, and he also believed in the feeling in his heart when he first saw Xiao Hei.
