Ling Xiao's stamp collecting plan was temporarily put on hold because the fish that Nüba wanted to catch was finally caught.

The civilians outside the gate of Xiang Mansion were peeking in, looking at the gorgeous carriages passing by, and they were extremely curious.

Someone was counting the horses pulling the most luxurious carriage in the front, one, two, three...six!

Hiss, this is terrible. According to the etiquette system, the emperor should drive six horses and the princes should drive five horses. Now that the Zhou emperor no longer exists, these princes have long violated the etiquette system.

In the State of Chu, a chariot with six horses could only be ridden by the king of Chu.

........................

When King Fu Chu of Chu met Nüba, he bowed deeply to her on the first day of the new year, showing utmost humility, and recited beautiful and graceful poems.

"System, what is he mumbling about?"

Ling Xiao suspected that he had become illiterate as he could not understand anything at all!

"Ahem, the Chu State is different from the Central Plains countries. They have their own customs and habits. Even their writing system is different. They use bird language. Of course, the host cannot understand it."

The system also gossiped:

"Chu and Qin were both famous barbarian countries, ostracized by other countries. Otherwise, why would they often intermarry and stick together?"

Ling Xiao suddenly realized, "No wonder Qin and Chu have bad reputations." In those short stories, Qin was tyrannical and Chu was barbaric. It turned out that they were exclusionary.

"Host, I advise you not to speak well of the barbarians of Chu," the system said with a wink.

"why?"

"Because host, didn't you say that you are from Hunan? The State of Chu is from this area! Hahahahahahahahahahaha"

Ling Xiao's teeth were grinding, and everyone saw that Nuba had an unhappy look on her face and kept pulling feathers from the Cang Ying with her hands.

This scene was terrifying. The King of Chu just finished a long string of flattering words and tried to ignore the panic in his heart and said to Nüba:

"Great Goddess Nüba, I and the State of Chu have been sincerely offering sacrifices for many years, and finally waited for your arrival. I hope that the Great Goddess Nüba will help our country to drive out the tyrannical Qin."

Of course, it would be best if we could help him destroy the Qin State directly.

The other nobles in tall crowns and silk robes behind the King of Chu also spoke up at this time and echoed the King of Chu.

Ling Xiao: ...If I had this ability, why would I go through so much trouble? Wouldn't it be nice to just push everything aside and become the queen myself?

"King Qin is the future emperor of mankind. His luck is already mostly connected to the human race, and he is also protected by my father! Although I can help you, it is difficult for me to intervene directly."

Ling Xiao looked down at everyone with an arrogant tone. His long red hair twisted forward automatically without wind and scratched people's skin, which was frightening and terrifying.

Hearing this, the King of Chu and others were disappointed, but they did not dare to offend, so they agreed without asking Nüba how to help them.

At this moment, a dark shadow flashed from the side.

The great wizard wore a hat that looked like an animal but was not an animal, and wore a long robe with wide sleeves. His hands were dry like bird claws. He bowed with trembling hands and said:

"The great wizard of Chu State pays homage to the great goddess Nüba, and the little wizard has prepared a grand sacrifice to welcome the great goddess.

The purest maidens performed sacrificial dances, and eighteen pairs of boys and girls came to invite the gods to enjoy their food."

As he spoke, he raised his wrinkled face, and it was obvious that he was trying his best to appear humble and obedient.

However, being in a high position for so long made his expression very strange. At least Ling Xiao felt disgusted at the sight of him.

When the words "virgin boy and girl" are mentioned, everyone knows that they will either be eaten alive by Nüba or their blood and marrow will be extracted. In any case, nothing good will happen to them.

However, the people of Chu State present took it for granted and did not feel anything was wrong.

Ling Xiao showed a hint of sarcasm on her face. When she worked in the previous company, she ate everything in order to survive, and she swallowed the monsters alive without even looking at them.

But the only thing he has never eaten is humans!

"No matter what situation a person falls into, there must be a bottom line. If we eat people, we are no longer human beings."

Ling Xiao recalled his teammate's words. He was so hungry in that copy that he could feel his stomach digesting itself.

Looking at the people of Chu again, Ling Xiao suddenly became unhappy. It was obvious that they were speculating about the behavior of the evil goddess Nüba and that was why they committed human sacrifices.

But it's ridiculous. Is Ling Xiao the kind of person who can be considerate of others? She only knows that these people made her feel bad.

Then you shouldn't live well.

The great wizard looked at the god in his mind with anticipation and excitement.

I thought to myself that if Nüba liked it, I would find more people to come. It would be a blessing for them to dedicate themselves to the god.

The next second, his eyes were pierced!

Ahhh, blood spurted out of the great wizard's eyes, and he kept howling and rolling.

The two red hairs that Nüba had retracted were dripping blood in mid-air. Under the sunlight, it was unclear whether the red hair was redder or the blood was more colorful.

The king and his ministers of Chu were horrified, not knowing why Nüba suddenly became angry. The King of Chu's legs trembled and he almost fell to his knees.

"Blood sacrifices to humans were a custom in the old heaven. You actually used them to worship me. You really don't know how to live or die."

Nüba combed her long hair with her hands and said with cold eyes.

Only then did everyone remember that the Moon Goddess had mentioned the New and Old Heavens, and that Donghuang Taiyi, whom they had always believed in, had been knocked off the throne.

In the mortal world, there is a new emperor and new ministers, so this way of worship is an insult to the gods of the new heaven.

Even if it is an evil god like Nüba, no, it is precisely because he is an evil god that he acts without scruples.

Ling Xiao's casual excuse was understood by them with all its causes and consequences.

"Great Goddess Nuba, please forgive me. I promise that there will be no more human sacrifices within the borders of Chu State, and the faith of Donghuang Taiyi will be replaced by yours."

While the King of Chu was apologizing, he was also troubled. The cohesion of the Chu State was not strong, and the great nobles in the country were powerful. It was not easy to persuade them not to perform human sacrifices.

But with the goddess Nüba around, I believe they will know what to do.

After this incident, Xiang Yan signaled his servants to drag the great wizard out without mercy.

There is no use for a believer who is rejected by God!

Nüba looked a little tired and said:

"I am good at making weapons. I used to make weapons for the soldiers under my father Huangdi. The production volume is very high. Now I will give them to you."

As he spoke, he took out a book called "Essentials of Equipment Refining" - a handwritten copy by Ling Xiao of the small blast furnace techniques for steel production that were circulated in the 1950s and 1960s. It was extremely advanced for that era.

Everyone's eyes lit up and they instantly forgot the shock they had just experienced. Armor and weapons were of great help to the soldiers.

A soldier wearing iron armor, holding a sword in one hand and a shield in the other, can defeat more than five unarmored soldiers with wooden spears.

"On behalf of the people of Chu, I would like to thank the goddess Nüba."

The King of Chu took the booklet, touched it twice with care, and quickly stuffed it into his sleeve.

At this time, Ling Xiao added playfully, "There is a method that can extract gold, silver and copper ores, and the output will increase by at least 30%."

She wasn't lying. The booklet did contain these methods, such as roasting and rough selection...

As for how big a dispute it will cause, and whether the refining of weapons will be delayed by the refining of gold and silver, this is not something Nüba can decide.

The King of Chu was overjoyed and tightly grasped the book in his sleeve. The ministers of Chu looked at him with burning eyes and were ready to take action.
