Qin Dynasty: I am the First Emperor, starting with the Moon Goddess.

Being scrutinized by a group of women, Hu Meiren felt incredibly guilty.

But Ying Zheng was still up to his old tricks, showing no mercy whatsoever.

"Miss Hu, what do you think should be done with people who break the rules?"

The High Priest bent down slightly and pinched a wisp of rosy light.

Zi Nu leaned lazily against the lounge chair, her smooth, long legs encased in light purple stockings, her pink, delicate toes slightly parted, gently hooking her high-heeled sandals.

Seeing this strange scene, Wenrun's lips involuntarily curled up.

Having just enjoyed several days of good food, she was quite satisfied and began to subtly stir things up.

"The High Priest will deal with her!"

Feeling guilty under the watchful eyes of several people, Hu Meiren gave Ying Zheng a pitiful look.

At this moment, Madam Mingzhu pinched her furry ear and revealed a strange smile on her face.

"Your ears feel quite nice to the touch."

Hu Meiren groaned a few times, and then her ears were played with by several people, causing her body to tense up instantly.

Woo~

Hu Meiren let out a few soft moans, then collapsed limply to the ground.

Ying Zheng quickly helped her up, and seeing her weak appearance, he chuckled and pinched her cheek.

"Serves you right for acting recklessly. Now you know you've done something wrong."

Hu Meiren exhaled, and after a while, she regained her composure.

Seeing that Mingzhu and the others looked like they wanted to teach her a lesson, Hu Meiren snorted and then said confidently:

"What's wrong with me borrowing my niece's things for a bit?"

"This is my family matter."

As she spoke, she even seemed to wiggle her hips a few times.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then the Grand Master of Fate let out a cold laugh.

"Your attempts to argue won't work."

"Get her!"

As she spoke, Madam Mingzhu rushed forward and restrained Lady Hu.

My whole body was itchy and itchy.

Hu Meiren was so amused that she was shaking with laughter. Before long, she was laughing so hard that her stomach was cramping.

"Hehe~ I was wrong, I won't do it again next time."

"Please spare me this once, hehe, Your Majesty, save me~"

Several small hands tickled her, making Hu Meiren laugh so hard she almost collapsed.

Ying Zheng was not going to save her; he was pinching her little feet and tickling her pink soles.

……

In the end, the group temporarily spared Hu Meiren, but decided on an extremely cruel punishment.

The next time everyone eats, Hu Meiren can only watch from the sidelines.

Hu Meiren was too weak to refute, and rolled her eyes as she glared at everyone.

Ying Zheng silently endured this suppression, for the fox's slippery flesh was far too violent to crush when it struggled.

It almost made Ying Zheng lose his composure.

Just then, raindrops pattered on the ground, and snowflakes covered the shallow meadow.

The Grand Master of Fate stretched and yawned, then playfully pinched Hu Meiren's cheek.

"Hmph, I'll teach you a lesson."

Hu Meiren hummed softly, her mind completely blank at that moment, not wanting to think about anything.

Before long, the Moon Goddess's elegant and voluptuous figure walked over from the courtyard wall.

"Your Majesty, there is a memorial that requires your personal review."

Arriving before the crowd, upon seeing Hu Meiren's charming appearance, the Moon Goddess blushed slightly and gave Ying Zheng a reproachful look.

If he continues to act recklessly like this, he'll really become a tyrant.

Ying Zheng shook his head, suppressing the surging emotions in his mind, and smiled at the Moon Goddess.

The memorial he received contained the construction plans for the next six countries.

Looking at the listed data, Ying Zheng was slightly surprised; no wonder he had to approve it personally.

The resources required for this plan are enormous.

Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, various data flashing through his mind and combining rapidly.

By Qin's current standards, the other six states would probably need to build tens of thousands of spirit-gathering arrays, plus various reforms.

The resources consumed are terrifying.

"Let's proceed according to plan for now. I will take care of the resource issue."

This land of China will become the ancestral home of the Great Qin Dynasty, and no amount of development here is excessive.

As Ying Zheng spoke, he withdrew.

"Once the Western Regions are opened up, the resource problem will be temporarily alleviated."

"Draw soldiers from various countries for training and continue the westward expedition!"

"And flying boats..."

Ying Zheng spoke eloquently.

Seeing that they were getting down to business, everyone put away their jokes and laughter. The Grand Master of Fate picked up Hu Meiren, and Mingzhu wiped the weapons with brocade.

Ying Zheng stepped forward and pinched Hu Meiren's cheek, saying with a smile:

"Get some rest, I'm off to take care of things."

"Here~"

Ying Zheng followed the Moon Goddess away and arrived at the council hall, where Li Si and others were already arguing.

The old minister, his beard and hair bristling, slammed his fist on the table and shouted:

"Take it slow, from west to east, and don't spread the business too thin."

"I second that; resources are simply not enough right now."

There are emerging officials who disagree with conservative approaches.

“The cultivation of spiritual rice and herbs, and the cultivation of spirit-gathering arrays, these projects can generate profits quickly and there is no risk involved.”

"Don't forget that we are short of manpower for the western expedition now."

A group of people were arguing so fiercely that they were practically about to come to blows.

Upon Ying Zheng's arrival, the court officials quieted down and respectfully bowed.

"See you, Your Majesty!"

Ying Zheng nodded indifferently and sat down in front of the throne.

"I understand the arguments of my ministers."

"Now I can set the tone for you all: in the future, the nine provinces of China will be the ancestral land of the Great Qin."

"We must build it in the shortest possible time, at all costs."

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, the court officials were somewhat taken aback.

The situation in Qin is currently very favorable, so why be so aggressive?

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Ying Zheng spoke calmly:

"Beyond the world, there are dangers. My beloved ministers, Great Qin needs to grow rapidly."

The portal to another dimension will open soon.

Who knows what kind of world is on the other side? Only if the Qin Dynasty becomes stronger will he have the confidence to stand firm.

The court officials were stunned, and when they came to their senses, they stared wide-eyed in horror.

Is there another world beyond this world?

Ying Zheng's words were like a tsunami, causing a huge uproar in everyone's hearts.

"Your Majesty... what lies beyond this world?"

Everyone was breathing heavily, their eyes wide as they stared at Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said calmly:

"That's right! And I can tell you clearly that this day is not far off."
