Chapter 362: I Have No Choice
Lin Fengmian picked up the paper filled with writing and blew gently on it, allowing the ink to dry completely.
“If there’s such a thing as foresight, this is probably it!”
Luo Xue looked at the paper in Lin Fengmian’s hand and exclaimed in surprise, “You want to give this to her?”
Lin Fengmian put the paper aside and nodded, “Even if there’s an agreement among the supreme beings not to interfere with each other’s powers.”
“But the forces under Heavenly Fiend’s command are enough to overwhelm Junyan, not to mention Junyan’s internal forces, which are already in disarray.”
“After we leave, if we don’t want to get involved and don’t want Yunshang to die, this is the easiest method.”
“As long as she can predict the future, she can take the initiative and be invincible.”
“Once the image of the Female Emperor being all-knowing is established, no one will dare to challenge her after a while.”
Luo Xue was speechless for a moment, and after a while, she murmured, “But won’t this really cause a temporal paradox?”
“Let’s see, it doesn’t seem to have caused any problems.”
Lin Fengmian said helplessly, “We’ve already given her this, and it’s been reflected in the historical records.”
“As you said, many of her actions can’t be described as being wise and farsighted, she’s simply cheating by looking at the answers.”
Luo Xue thought about it carefully and found that Lin Fengmian’s words made sense, so she nodded and said, “Then do as you see fit.”
She couldn’t help but feel sorry for Jun Yunshang’s enemies who had to face an existence that was unpredictable and could foresee the future.
Lin Fengmian continued to write down the rest of the historical records in one breath, but the events recorded later were too far away from the present, and both of them felt a sense of unreality.
When they looked at the records of Empress Fengyao written by Lin Fengmian, Luo Xue also fell silent.
According to the records, this female emperor was ruthless and ambitious, constantly expanding her territory and waging wars.
Her Junyan Empire was ambitious and had annexed many kingdoms and small countries, and was constantly at war with the Moon Shadow Dynasty.
She showed no mercy to those who dared to oppose her, and she was even more ruthless to those ministers and vassals who had rebellious intentions.
She was so cautious that she would even split an earthworm in half and shake an egg to scatter its yolk, reminiscent of someone’s style.
During King Lingtian’s reign, all the kings and high-ranking officials except the King of the North, who had great power and remained loyal and obedient, were stripped of their military power and sent home to enjoy their retirement.
The two kings and one marquis of the same generation as her were even more timid, afraid of being caught by her and losing their lives.
Although the historical records said that Emperor Fengyao was very kind to the people, and the people lived in peace and prosperity under her rule, with all being well and peaceful.
But how many words in the official history, especially the official history of the current dynasty, can be believed?
Luo Xue sighed, “She seems to have changed.”
She couldn’t connect the current Jun Yunshang, who was cautious and soft-hearted, with the Fengyao in the historical records, who was ruthless and cunning.
Was it the power of time, the cost of growth?
Or was it the corruption of absolute power and desire?
Lin Fengmian’s expression was complex, and he didn’t respond.
He didn’t think that Jun Yunshang had done anything wrong, but he still felt guilty for her change.
Luo Xue hesitated, “Do you plan to give her this historical record directly?”
Lin Fengmian shook his head firmly, “That’s definitely not possible!”
Luo Xue joked, “What, are you afraid that she’ll dig you up a thousand years later and force you into her harem?”
“This Empress Fengyao has always been alone, maybe you will become a virtuous and holy emperor.”
Thinking of Lin Fengmian being held in Jun Yunshang’s arms, she couldn’t help but laugh.
Lin Fengmian was exasperated, “If I’m forced into the harem, that’s still okay, but I’m afraid that a thousand years later, she’ll change her personality and torture me to death.”
“The most important thing is that the abilities of the supreme beings are unpredictable, and who knows what methods they might use to find out.”
“So no matter what, my identity must not be revealed to her, that’s best for both her and us.”
Luo Xue thought about it and agreed, after all, they couldn’t always be by Jun Yunshang’s side to protect her.
“What should we do?”
Lin Fengmian thought for a moment and smiled, “That’s easy, don’t cultivators have prophecies?”
“I’ll turn it into a prophecy and say it’s a revelation from the heavens, with my current persona as a fallen immortal, she shouldn’t be suspicious.”
He did as he said, and according to the historical records, he wrote the contents of the historical records into a prophecy, using vague and ambiguous language.
What’s even more absurd is that this guy actually wrote prophecies for the next thousand year, and even mixed in some prophecies from the Heavenly Fiend Hall.
Each prophecy was written in a way that was convincing and deceptive, enough to deceive people to the point of death.
Luo Xue couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time, and with this, even if the Heavenly Fiend Supreme Being knew about the prophecies, they wouldn’t be able to guess what era Lin Fengmian was from.
Just as Lin Fengmian finished writing, he heard the sound of familiar footsteps outside the door.
“Young Master Ye, are you there?”
Jun Yunshang’s melodious voice came from outside, and her voice was tinged with a hint of fatigue.
“I’m here!”
Lin Fengmian put on his mask, put away the prophecies and papers, and opened the door.
Jun Yunshang was standing outside the door, wearing a white mourning dress, and her eyes were slightly red.
This white dress combined with her delicate features made her look pitiful and weak, and it was as if she was deliberately trying to evoke sympathy.
Lin Fengmian looked at her and felt a pang of sympathy, and he didn’t know what to say.
But Jun Yunshang spoke first, “Young Master Ye, how’s your injury?”
Lin Fengmian looked at the palace maids standing around and calmly said, “It’s not a big deal, let’s talk about it inside.”
However, he still deliberately coughed a few times and then casually revealed his blood-stained handkerchief.
Jun Yunshang frowned and let the palace maids retreat before following Lin Fengmian into the palace.
“If you need any medicine to heal your wounds, I’ll have someone bring it from the treasury,” Jun Yunshang said.
“Do you hate me?”
Lin Fengmian asked, looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze.
“Even though I know I shouldn’t, I want to tell you that I hate you!”
Jun Yunshang said, her eyes welling up with tears and she bit her lip to hold back her emotions.
“You know you shouldn’t hate me, but you still say it, that’s your mistake,” Lin Fengmian said with a wry smile.
“And yet you’re still helping me, why is that?”
“Junyan’s survival depends on you, I have no choice,” Jun Yunshang said as if she was stating a fact, but also making an excuse for herself.
Lin Fengmian nodded slightly, “Not bad, you’ve made progress, but if you were smart, you should have let the palace maids leave first.”
“At the very least, you should have killed them on the spot, but you didn’t, you’re still too soft-hearted.”
Jun Yunshang’s face turned pale, and then she looked up at Lin Fengmian and asked in a low voice, “If that’s the case, why did you choose me to be the Holy Emperor?”
“Guess?” Lin Fengmian said with an ambiguous tone.
“Is it because I’m easier to control, because I listen to you, or because I’m prettier?”
Jun Yunshang looked at him with her beautiful eyes, as if she could see right through him.
