Chapter 769: Divine Eyes Shocking the Dust
Since the Queen Mother of the West was born between heaven and earth, she had never seen such a grand event. When she heard what Yao Ji said, she couldn’t help swallowing her saliva.

This project is indeed extremely large, requiring the entire process of cutting through mountains and changing roads. Even if she and Xuannv did it themselves, it would still take a lot of effort.

It is even more astonishing that such a huge project is done entirely by humans. There have been very few projects of this scale since ancient times.

If it is done only for one person, then it has never happened before. Not to mention never having seen it, it can be said that I have never even heard of it!

God is so envious!

This will bring great benefits to Yao Ji.

Thirty thousand people work for several months every year to build the statue sincerely, and the power of wishes they gain is extremely amazing.

When you work for yourself, you are consuming your own spiritual energy; when others work for you, it increases your own strength.

Although wish power is not a necessity for her and Xuannv, and the benefits are not that great, who would complain about having too little of a good thing?

Especially for acquired gods like Yao Ji and Jing Wei, enjoying the power of incense and vows is much more comfortable than practicing hard on their own.

Jingwei was shocked and asked: “Sister, what people say is true, you really became the divine concubine of the First Emperor.”

Yao Ji was a little shy, but still nodded seriously and confirmed.

Xuan Nu, who was standing by, was a little upset at this moment. She snorted and said, “I originally thought that this emperor was a virtuous ruler, but now it seems that he is just a person seeking fame and reputation. He doesn’t know how to pity the people and save their energy, but wants to do such a wasteful and costly thing.”

There was a hint of disappointment in her tone, and it seemed as if there was also a hint of reluctance.

When Yao Ji heard this, she immediately felt unhappy, but she knew that it was understandable for Xuannv to think this way.

She also understood Xuannu, who was a kind-hearted deity who cared about the common people. Given the current situation, it was understandable that she thought so.

So he hurriedly explained: “Sister misunderstood.”

Her voice was gentle but also urgent. “My husband has always been kind and generous, and he loves the people. How could he do something that would waste people’s money and time?”

“This project was only carried out during the slack season, and the conscripted laborers were all from the surrounding areas, so they didn’t have to travel too much. They were provided with food and accommodation, and they also received wages to supplement their family expenses. There was no rush to complete the project.”

“This project is huge, but it also built and opened up roads and built water conservancy projects, which benefited the people. I also took care of the people around me, and no one was killed or injured.”

“The wages for the corvée labor are all paid from my husband’s private treasury, without using any state money, and the wages are generous.”

“The people have received wages, which is also a considerable income, which can supplement their family expenses. The people are all enthusiastic about participating, and there is absolutely no coercion.”

“Sister, please look, do the people below have any complaints or dissatisfaction?”

Xuannu knew that what Yaoji said was right. When they came, they saw that the people working here were all enthusiastic and hardworking, and there was really no one with dissatisfaction or resentment on their faces.

Then I felt even more depressed.

At this time, the Queen Mother of the West’s eyes were full of light, and she smiled and praised: “Sister Yao really married a good man. Just looking at this move, you can tell that the current emperor really loves sister.”

“If he uses the wealth from his private treasury, I’m afraid the emperor himself will have to tighten his belt. Hahahaha.”

Yao Ji smiled, unable to hide her joy, and gently waved her hand, saying implicitly: “After all, it is still too much of a fuss, but I can’t disobey my husband’s words.”

“This project is very laborious. It mainly involves carving mountains and carving statues. In addition, we need to build temples among the mountains, erect monuments and inscribe Taoist scriptures. Alas, keeping it simple is also good. I don’t care about these. As long as my husband can spend more time with me, that’s all.”

At this point, Yao Ji sighed, her eyes full of longing, “It’s just that my husband is in Longxing Shendu, he is in charge of the world, shouldering the responsibility of ensuring the peace and tranquility of hundreds of millions of people, it’s really hard to get away from the numerous government affairs.”

“And I can’t leave Dajiang, so I can only wait for him to come and meet me. Alas, I only regret that I can’t always be by my husband’s side, to relieve his worries.”

Jingwei pursed her lips, scratched her head, and said, “Well, it seems that the big liar treats me well, but it’s a pity that you two can’t stay together. I don’t know how to solve it.”

“Hmm?” Yao Ji frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes filled with anger, not understanding why her sister said that, and said, “Girl, how can you be so rude? He is your brother-in-law, the supreme ruler of the world, the emperor, how can you be so rude?”

Jingwei pouted her lips and puffed up her cheeks: “I was right, I didn’t even send him a dream. How old was he when he lied? He was so young and he was already lying.”

Yao Ji didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She rubbed her little head and said softly, “My husband also has his own unspeakable secrets. Everything is for the sake of the people of the world. If we don’t borrow the name of the Emperor, how can we convince the people of the good prescription to save people?” “In an emergency, we should take the initiative. This is a meritorious act that will save countless people. It is also a great thing for the Emperor and you. Remember, don’t talk about these things again in the future, and don’t tell anyone. Just treat it as if you really told your husband this dream, understand?”

Jingwei said “oh” softly. She still had great respect for her only remaining sister.

But she also made a request, “Sister, I promise you, but I also have a request!”

Yao Ji asked: “What is the request?”

Jingwei hesitated and said with a giggle: “Can you put another statue of me next to my sister’s? I also want to be with my sister.”

Yao Ji smiled and said, “This matter is simple. I will tell my husband and he will definitely agree.”

Then he pinched Jingwei’s little face again and said, “You are such a greedy little girl. When you meet your brother-in-law, you should thank him well.”

“He built a temple specifically for you in Donghai County, and there are Taoist priests to manage it. And beside all the statues of the Emperor, there are also statues of you, and you are worshipped together. Even in the Temple of the Sages, there is a statue of a divine bird like you on the shoulder of the Emperor.”

“You are now the auspicious bird of the Qin Dynasty. You, you have taken advantage of me without doing anything. You are worshipped for eternity. And you still say bad things about your brother-in-law. How dare you do that?”

Jingwei was extremely satisfied when she heard this. She chuckled and kept rubbing against Yao Ji’s arms, grinning foolishly, as if this was really a pie in the sky falling on her head.

As she spoke, Yao Ji rubbed Jingwei’s little head and asked her to get off her for the time being. She walked forward and took the hands of Queen Mother Xi and the other two, descended from the clouds, and went to her cave, which was a secret underground reception area in the Wushan Mountains.

The Queen Mother of the West and the other two concealed their bodies, and their spirits left their bodies, accompanying Yao Ji.

This is where Yao Ji’s true body is hidden. It is a natural cave hundreds of feet at the bottom of the mountain. This cave is now sealed and there is nowhere to enter. Only the invisible soul can go there.

There is also a protective barrier to resist snakes, insects, rats and ants.

Although it is underground, the cave is not dark at all. There are dozens of extremely bright night pearls, illuminating the cave as if it were daytime.

In addition, there are some invisible wind tunnels, which make the cave not feel stuffy at all. There is also a small underground river flowing quietly on one side. In the underground river, there is a kind of transparent, slender small fish swimming back and forth, which also adds a bit of vitality.

The cave is not too big, only a few dozen meters in circumference, but it has everything you need, including stone seats, stone beds, stone basins and stone bowls. In addition, there are some plants transplanted and cultivated by Yao Ji that can survive in water.

After they sat down, Yao Ji took a few cups of stalactite liquid and served them, and asked, “My two sisters, this is really a coincidence. You two woke up at the same time, and I am not asleep yet. It’s rare for us all to be together.”

Jingwei nodded her little head repeatedly, and Queen Mother of the West smiled elegantly, revealing her sharp little fangs.

She instantly realized that her little fangs were exposed, and quickly restrained her smile. She coughed lightly and said, “Speaking of which, the reason I woke up this time should be because of your husband.”

“I was awakened by a powerful dragon energy. After waking up, I found that there was a special power of will, and the girl’s will power also increased greatly. Now that I think about it, there is no one else in the world who can be as strong as that dragon energy. It must be your husband.”

“As for the power of will, hmph, it is naturally your husband’s good plan and good means. More and more people believe in me, and even a girl is born. This is all thanks to your husband, the master of men.”

Yao Ji’s heart was now with Ying Zheng. Hearing this, she felt a little embarrassed. She smiled slightly and whispered, “Sister Wanyan, please be magnanimous. Please understand that my husband has his own difficulties after all.”

“Although my husband has unified the country and accomplished unprecedented feats, he often tells me that conquering an empire is difficult, and ruling it is even more difficult.”

“How to make the hearts of all people in the world come together is even more difficult. The world is too big, with different beliefs, cultures, customs, and habits. It is these differences that make it difficult for people to stop fighting.”

“My husband wants to eliminate barriers, build identity, and make people from all over the world understand and tolerate each other without disputes.”

Yao Ji was also worried about Ying Zheng. She sighed softly, frowned, and sighed: “Some things have to be done. My husband said that this is a white lie. Even if I am extremely reluctant, I have to do it for the sake of the people of the world. It’s nothing more than that if everyone is guilty, it’s all my fault. If I am guilty, I will bear it alone.”

Queen Mother Xi raised her eyebrows, praising her in her heart, but still said with a teasing expression: “Oh, oh, oh, sister Yao only has her beloved brother in her heart. I haven’t said anything yet, but you’ve explained it already.”

Before Yao Ji could speak, Queen Mother Xi changed the subject and said, “Don’t worry, I don’t blame your husband. I didn’t retaliate against Ji Man, that bastard, for spreading rumors. I won’t treat your husband any differently.”

“To be honest, I really want to meet your husband and see what kind of person he is. I have heard so much about him along the way, and no one has said anything bad about him.”

“He succeeded to the throne at a young age, and there are great threats from outside. In just over 20 years, in the time it takes to take a nap, the world will be completely changed.”

“I’m really curious about how this person was born.”
