Chapter 983: Chapter 8: The Emperor’s Heart_2 Chapter 983: Chapter 8: The Emperor’s Heart_2 The moment their hands touched, the Qin Emperor’s body jolted suddenly, his eyes emitting a strange light as he focused on Feng Yin.

Their touch was brief and soon withdrawn.

Feng Yin smiled and said, “With that, the two of us shall take our leave, looking forward to the day when we meet again and all under heaven is united.”

The Qin Emperor seemed to be controlling some emotion, and his voice forcibly steadied as he said, “Wait a moment.”

He laughed heartily, “As my nephew and niece are about to leave, how could I let you go without a parting gift? Wouldn’t Palace Master Dong laugh at me for being stingy?”

With those words, he reached into his robe, brought out a jade pendant, and stuffed it into Feng Yin’s hand that had not yet retracted, then patted the back of Feng Yin’s hand, and smiled, “My worthy nephew, from now on in the Great Qin, your uncle will take care of everything for you! In the future, as well, your uncle will shoulder everything for this world on your behalf!”

“Many thanks for my uncle’s kind gesture.”

Feng Yin closed his hand over the jade pendant, not even glancing at it, then turned and took Dong Xiaoyan’s hand, and the pair bid farewell.

“If you encounter any insurmountable trouble, come to Xianyang!”

The Qin Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, speaking softly.

“Even if heaven’s wrath should be upon us, I shall bear it!”

“Many thanks to Uncle, the Emperor Uncle. Please take care.”

“Go on.”

With a sweep of his sleeves, the Qin Emperor revealed a gentle smile, watching the two turn and leave, his warm smile unfading, with a more tender light in his eyes.

Official Shi, standing to one side, seemed to have understood something and even his usually cold face relaxed into a slightly contented smile.

Thus, Feng Yin and his companions departed.

The Qin Emperor slowly sat down and said, “I wish to bathe.”

“Yes!”

Without asking why, Official Shi immediately went out to convey the order, joy flickering across his brows and eyes. However, by the time he left the room, his expression had returned to its usual gloom.

After a long while.

After bathing, the Qin Emperor emerged wearing only a loose robe, walking with an air of relaxed ease, and spoke, seemingly with deliberate nonchalance, “Let’s call off that gentle pursuit now.”

“By your command.”

“Declare to all under heaven, Dong Xiaoyan is to be conferred the title of First Princess of the Great Qin!”

Official Shi could not help but open his eyes wide, “First… First Princess?”

The Qin Emperor glanced at him coolly, “Is there an issue?”

“No, your servant obeys the order.”

“Proceed back to the palace.”

Official Shi was inwardly shaken.

First Princess.

This was not an ordinary princess’s title.

But as the Emperor had already left the room, it was clear that the matter was settled.

Official Shi knew the Qin Emperor’s temperament well.

His word was law!

No matter how quickly the Emperor sometimes spoke, as though without pondering and just blurting out whatever came to mind, Official Shi knew that anyone who thought so… was an idiot!

“From now on, the Great Qin has a First Princess…”

Official Shi murmured to himself, hurrying to follow.

……

Feng Yin and Dong Xiaoyan’s party left swiftly, and by the time they looked back, the imposing city walls of Xianyang were no longer in sight.

Only then did Dong Xiaoyan stop and ask Feng Yin, “What did the Emperor Uncle give you?”

“A jade pendant.”

“I… I know it’s a jade pendant! I’m asking what kind of jade pendant!”

Dong Xiaoyan pressed, grinding her teeth.

“Ah, you’ve really stumped me there. I know the pendant is no ordinary object, but as for its specific powers… you’d better see for yourself.”

Having said that, Feng Yin flipped his wrist, and the jade pendant appeared in his hand, still with its back facing up.

Even from the back, its uniqueness was evident; the back of the pendant was carved with several auspicious clouds drifting by, around which a five-clawed black dragon coiled, with realistic whiskers and scales. The dragon amidst the clouds seemed ready to break through boundless mist and soar directly upwards, exuding an aura of majestic imperium.

Especially the claw that reached forward, fierce and sharp, as if it already held the entire world in its grasp!

Above the black dragon, there was an ancient seal character: Qin!

Just a glance at the back was enough to feel its powerful presence, certainly not something insignificant.

When Feng Yin turned it over to show the front of the pendant, surprisingly no carvings were present, just four words inscribed upon it—

“As if I were present myself!”

Dong Xiaoyan was taken aback, “Damn! The Qin Emperor actually gave this thing to you? How could he part with something so valuable, and I haven’t seen you do anything?”

On the side, Dong Tiesong glanced at Dong Xiaoyan.

Such foul language from a young lady was simply…

He wanted to reprimand her, but ultimately did not.

It was rare for this girl to meet someone who treated her sincerely, so let her speak, he thought. Besides, once they are married, what can they not say? Even if it was something more excessive… *cough* *cough* *cough*…

Feng Yin snorted, “What do I have to do that requires your observation? You’re just foolish, only caring about eating and drinking. Eating until your belly is round and smooth…”

“Who?! Who are you calling foolish?! Whose belly is round and smooth?”

Dong Xiaoyan flew into a rage, all teeth and claws.

Dong Tiesong glanced to the side with a knowing look, and said, “Pingchuan, why don’t you stimulate the jade pendant with some spiritual energy? This object might not be as simple as it appears.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Yin had a thought and channeled a stream of spiritual energy into it.

In that instant, the atmosphere changed dramatically as if the Qin Emperor himself stood before them once again, hands behind his back, supremely sovereign!

It was a dense aura of the nation’s fate, the prestige of a ruler over all under heaven.

An extraordinary, world-devouring dominance manifested, enveloping everything around.

All the companions, more than a dozen strong, felt an inexplicable suppressive force at that moment, an instinctual urge to shrink down, along with an overwhelming impulse to bend their knees in submission.

“Quick… put it away.”

Dong Tiesong struggled to speak, overwhelmed by this sudden sovereign presence, a pressure that truly felt unbeatable, compelling submission.
