I traveled through the Cretaceous period and farmed with the ever-changing dog egg.

"Li Si pays his respects to Your Majesty!"

Li Si had been feeling uneasy ever since the incident with Lin Chaoyan, unsure whether the fairy he had seen during the day was real or not. Now that he knew the truth, he felt somewhat flattered, yet still uneasy.

Li Si's visit was kept secret from Lü Buwei. He had been sidelined and rendered useless by Lü Buwei. Unwilling to accept his fate, he had been hoping to meet the King of Qin and make a final stand.

“Ayan told me that Lord Li is a man of outstanding character and remarkable talent. Today I will give you a chance to prove yourself.”

Ying Zheng wanted to see what this man in front of him could do for him.

Upon hearing this, Li Si looked at Lin Chaoyan with gratitude, noticing her gentle smile. That warm smile seemed to make the cold night feel less harsh. Li Si then took a deep breath and paused briefly.

"I have heard that Your Majesty intends to expel people from outside Qin?" He knew that the King of Qin before him did not like to hear nonsense.

After hearing his words, Ying Zheng turned his gaze to the distance and tightened his grip on Lin Chaoyan's hand. "What do you mean by 'heard of'? Within three days, eliminate all the people from the other six states in Xianyang. Within a month, I will ensure that there is not a single person from the other six states within Qin territory. Let my Great Qin be completely clean."

Lin Chaoyan knew about the "Memorial on Expelling Foreign Guests," but because she knew Li Si would resolve the issue, she didn't try to persuade Ying Zheng. After all, his actions were no different from the Qing Dynasty's policy of closing the country to the outside world, which was not a good thing.

Upon hearing this, Li Si shook his head and asked, "Why do we need to eliminate them?"

Ying Zheng began, “You people from other countries come to Qin with ill intentions. That boy from Zheng is a prime example.”

Li Si asked again, "May I ask Your Majesty, whose credit is it that Qin has achieved what it has today, standing above the other six states?" The king before him was ultimately too young and impetuous.

Ying Zheng remained silent.

Li Si said, "Since your ancestors, Qin has always recruited talented people, and it is these talented people who have created the Qin we know today. Let me just mention a few of the most meritorious individuals, such as Baili Xi, Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, and Fan Ju. Aren't they all political giants of Qin? How could they possibly have any ill intentions towards Qin?"

Ying Zheng certainly understood the reasons he was talking about. The problem was that just because the people of the six states were good to Qin in the past did not mean that the people of other states would be good to Qin now.

Li Si guessed his thoughts and continued, "I dare not guarantee that all the people from the six states in Qin today are talented, but there must be a few. Talent is like this: if you don't use it, someone else will. On the surface, you are just eliminating some foreigners, but in reality, you are pushing talent to the enemy."

Based on Li Si's limited understanding of Ying Zheng, this was not the result of Ying Zheng's careful consideration, but merely a whim.

Ying Zheng was somewhat tempted. Lin Chaoyan looked very happy, even though Li Si had flaws and ambitions. But that didn't matter to Ying Zheng.

Li Si glanced at the jade pendant on Lin Chao's waist and continued, "If Your Majesty is so resentful of foreign countries, then while eliminating foreigners, you should also eliminate foreign goods. Look at the jade you are wearing now, the luminous pearl on display, this fairy, the horse the warrior is riding—which of these is produced in Qin? Why not eliminate all these things from Qin as well?"

Everything else was fine, but when Li Si dared to suggest sending Lin Chaoyan away, Ying Zheng immediately wanted to throw Li Si off the city wall.

"You are presumptuous!"

"Ah Zheng, he's right, your decision is absurd. You know in your heart that this isn't a wise move." Why did Li Si do this? He's really angered everyone!

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger,"

One second you're saying "calm down," but the next you're really thinking "no."

Li Si summarized his persuasion of the King of Qin with the following words: "Mount Tai does not reject any soil, therefore it can become so great; rivers do not discriminate against small streams, therefore they can become so deep; a king does not reject the common people, therefore he can demonstrate his virtue."

Ying Zheng was completely swayed. He wasn't truly persuaded by Li Si, but rather by Li Si's exceptional logic. He knew when to be emotional and when to reason. His words might seem extreme, but in the process of debate, one must push the issue to its limits and expose its flaws in order to convince the other party.

Next, Li Si said that he dreamed of Ying Zheng sweeping across the six states, unifying the world, and killing all those from the Zhao state who had once humiliated him.

Li Si's voice gradually rose in pitch, and by the end it was more like a sermon than a speech, with a hint of madness in his eyes, which gleamed with light.

After listening, Ying Zheng looked into the distance. Although he already knew his future, he was still moved by Li Si's words about a dynasty that would last for ten thousand generations. At this time, he was not in power, but he had always harbored a strong desire to build an unprecedentedly powerful country. The dream Li Si spoke of coincided with his own long-held ideals.

After a long silence, Ying Zheng finally said, "I have also considered what Li Si said."

Seeing that Ying Zheng was lost in thought, Li Si knew that he was moved, so he continued his persuasive speech, mentioning King Wu of Zhou from a historical perspective, believing that King Wu of Zhou was also an outstanding monarch who destroyed the Yin Dynasty and established the Zhou Dynasty. This comparison made Ying Zheng feel proud.

Li Si went on to explain that the nobles of the six states were corrupt and decadent, and the people's hearts were broken; they were destined to be conquered by Ying Zheng. His suggestion was to first conquer Han, demonstrating Qin's determination to unify the world and simultaneously deterring the other states. Although Han might be the weakest of the six states, Li Si firmly believed that if Qin Shi Huang could conquer Han first, the other states would lose confidence, become increasingly divided, and unable to resist the powerful Qin.

Ying Zheng agreed with this strategy, finding Li Si's explanation very reasonable. He continued to consult Li Si on topics related to the state of Han, explicitly expressing his doubts about the impact on other countries after the conquest of Han.

Li Si answered this question with his unique insights. He emphasized that conquering Han would demonstrate Qin's determination to unify the world to other states, creating a deterrent effect. After conquering Han, other states would feel fear and dare not confront Qin, which would accelerate the fragmentation of the six states and provide favorable conditions for Qin's unification. Li Si even mentioned his so-called "ant plan."

This conversation allowed Li Si to take root in Ying Zheng's heart, and even Lin Chaoyan lamented that she could never surpass him even if she studied for tens of millions of years! As a prophet, she still needed a capable person like Li Si to truly help Ying Zheng.

When they parted, Li Si bowed deeply to Lin Chaoyan's retreating figure after seeing Ying off.

"If she were the queen, that wouldn't be a problem. If it's not tomorrow, let me, Li Si, escort her up there." That would be a way of repaying her great kindness today.

"Ayan, will Li Si ever be disloyal to me in the future?" He is indeed talented and very loyal to me.

"No, he wouldn't have any ulterior motives towards you." He wouldn't have any ulterior motives towards your eldest son!

The two returned to Xianyang Palace, where they were alone again, a moment that filled Lin Chaoyan with trepidation.

“Ayan,”

"My Ayan, give in to me!" As he spoke, Ying Zheng reached out to pull at her belt.

"Give in to him? Let him be my first man? Forget it! He's waited and begged for so many years. I'm leaving anyway, so I'll just give him to him!" Lin Chaoyan was quickly captivated by Ying Zheng's tender and lingering love.

Her clothes were removed piece by piece until they were completely naked, and a warm breath sprayed onto her neck.

Suddenly, she felt as if her body was being torn apart. She gasped and resisted the young man on top of her with teary eyes.

"Ouch...it hurts!"

Ying Zheng's eyes flickered with heartache and reluctance, but thinking of the countless days and nights he had endured to get to this point, he steeled himself and coaxed her in a low voice, "Ayan, be good, don't be afraid, I'll be very gentle."

Ying Zheng kissed Lin Chaoyan's lips again, this time gently and reservedly, as if he were carefully handling a rare treasure.

At this moment, perhaps the only way to express passionate love is through complete and unreserved honesty. Knowing every inch of each other's skin, kissing every corner, exchanging saliva and scent. After this merging, their emotions seem to have reached a new beginning.

Ying Zheng constantly showered Lin Chaoyan with tenderness, while also relentlessly seeking her response. He was trying to ascertain whether Lin Chaoyan truly loved him. With each kiss and intimate encounter, the unease that had been brewing for years was gradually soothed.

"Ayan, Ayan,..."

You're finally mine!

After being repeatedly asked by him, Lin Chaoyan managed to lower Ying's guard in this way.

She lay on Ying Zheng's chest, determined to begin casting the spell.

“Ah Zheng,”
