Sweet Desire! The Cold Lord God, Who Can Tease, Coax, and Act Coquettish. - Chap 1286
With the encouragement of the old Lord of Heaven, Shen Zhiyu confidently climbed up the altar.
After completing all the rituals, he opened his arms, waiting for the cheers of the people and the surge in luck.
Not long after, he saw the sun shining brightly, and a golden dragon seemed to be dancing in the sky, coming towards him.
The smile on Shen Zhiyu’s lips grew bigger and bigger. God’s darling, here he comes!
Not only Shen Zhiyu, but even the civil and military officials standing below widened their eyes in shock.
“It’s a dragon, it’s a dragon!” They cheered excitedly: “No emperor in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty has ever been able to summon a real dragon during a sacrifice to heaven.”
“God bless your majesty, God bless the Great Zhou!”
All the officials looked up, eagerly hoping that the dragon would land on Shen Zhiyu.
Unexpectedly, the golden dragon just circled around Shen Zhiyu, then turned around, knocked Shen Zhiyu down with its tail, and surrounded Si Jin.
It emits a golden glow that lasts for a long time.
Even Si Jin’s clothes began to sparkle.
“Look!” All the officials stood still, speechless with shock. Someone shouted first, “There is a faint dragon pattern on the clothes of the Duke of Liang!”
“How come the true dragon became the Duke of Liang?”
How come during the sacrifice to heaven, the real dragon turned into Mu Sijin???
Shen Zhiyu’s mouth was stained with blood after being hit by the dragon. He clung to the railing, unable to understand what was going on.
Didn’t the system that calls itself the Lord of Heaven say that it would help him invite the dragon and make him the darling of heaven?
What’s happening now?
The throne, wealth, and status should have been his! They were his! How could Mu Sijin, a loser, take away everything from him?!
Shen Zhiyu was deeply shocked and took a deep breath. Before he could ask the old Lord, he heard the system prompt sound again.
[Failed to summon a true dragon, Luck value -50%, and at the same time extract 50% of the host’s soul. ]
[Warning, warning, your current luck value is too low, you may be dethroned at any time. ]
Pull, down, the throne.
These four simple words were like a heavy punch, hitting Shen Zhiyu hard in the heart.
Somehow, his eyes went dark, he suddenly spat out blood, and passed out.
The eunuchs around him shouted: “The emperor has fainted——”
The officials’ attention was then diverted from Si Jin to Shen Zhiyu.
But it doesn’t matter anymore.
All the officials stayed away, only Si Jin put his arm around Sheng Linyuan’s shoulder and smiled brightly: “Shen Zhiyu will not be able to sit on the throne for many days.”
Sheng Linyuan nodded, ignored the half-dead Shen Zhiyu, and directly pulled Jinjin away from here.
He had no interest in other countries’ heavenly worship ceremonies, unless… the emperor was a pampered one.
But as soon as he left the sacrificial site, he was stopped by Zheng Yingqin.
Si Jin took the initiative to ask: “Eunuch Zheng, is there anything wrong?”
“This old servant will not be visiting the young master today.” Zheng Yingqin bowed his head and saluted: “Master Sheng, the Empress Dowager invites you.”
Sheng Linyuan:?
… …
Sheng Linyuan was called away by the Queen Mother, and Si Jin had nothing to do when he returned home, so he simply went to the suburbs to race horses to celebrate that Shen Zhiyu and the old Lord were about to be angered to death.
When they were tired from running, they built a fire and roasted the pheasants they had hunted.
It was not until night fell that Sheng Linyuan rode over on horseback, brought two pots of wine, and talked to him about his life experience.
He took the pheasant from Si Jin and helped roast it: “The Queen Mother said that your real name should actually be… Shen Zhijin. Is this the secret you said you wanted to keep from me for the time being?”
Si Jin nodded, leaned against him, took the chicken drumstick he handed over, and ate it pickily.
Sheng Linyuan continued, “The Queen Mother said that she felt guilty about you and dared not acknowledge you, and she wanted me to help take care of you in the future. Otherwise, she would send you durian and let me kneel until the end of time.”
“It’s great that your mother is still alive. She’s better than me.” Sheng Linyuan lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on the flickering flame in front of him. I wonder who he was missing far away.
After saying this, he concentrated on roasting the pheasant and stopped talking. Si Jin had no choice but to accompany him… and drink.
When the flames burned out and Si Jin was a little tipsy, he suddenly said, “I know. There is a small indoor horse training ground fifty miles away. There is a charcoal fire burning around it. It is very warm. Even if you take off your outer robe and inner clothes, you won’t feel cold.”
“Jing Jing.”
He reached out and took the drunken boy into his arms: “Let’s… go there and ride horses together, okay?”
