My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 182 Details
Soon, Xin Wenyuan found his rhythm and began to immerse himself in his studies.

Since Xin Nian advanced to the fifth level, her body has become like an automatic machine, naturally absorbing and circulating energy without her having to exert much effort.

If she hadn't deliberately suppressed her absorption, all the energy surging around would probably have been snatched up by her first, and the benefits wouldn't have gone to her father...

Xin Nian flicked a healing ball at her father to help him absorb and store energy more quickly.

In less than half an hour, her father did not disappoint her and made a breakthrough in one fell swoop.

"Hehe, look, girl." Old Xin jumped onto the ruins with high spirits and showed off his skills to his daughter.

The light blade swiftly sliced ​​through a section of the ruins, shattering it into pieces.

Xin Nian only saw a bright white light flash by, and the broken wall in front of her fell to the ground in a flurry.

Xin Nian was overjoyed that her father had finally figured out an attack skill.

Being able to both attack and defend is essential for having a chance of winning a fight.

"I feel like I've broken through more than just the third rank; I've gone up a huge step, almost touching the threshold of the fourth rank." Xin Wenyuan said excitedly. "The energy surging underground is too strong. Daughter, quickly bring your mother up here to experience the energy fluctuations."

"And your brother and Mianmian too."

Xin Nian took her nagging father back to the basement and pulled Xin Mochen and Xiao Jinzhi out with her.

"Did you sense any energy waves?"

Xin Mochen nodded, his face showing surprise and uncertainty. "How can he be so strong?"

"I guess you're about to advance in rank, which is why your reaction is so strong."

Xin Mochen immediately sat down to feel the energy surging around him.

Xin Nian looked at Xiao Jinzhi standing next to her and asked, "Did you feel it?"

Xiao Jinzhi shook his head honestly, "I don't feel anything."

Xin Nian immediately raised her hand to slap him, indignant, "That's because your level is too high, and the energy you need now is immeasurable. That's why you can't feel this small energy fluctuation."

Xiao Jinzhi looked at her with clear eyes, "No way, I've been like this ever since I first comprehended the time-related magic."

"It feels like there's been no progress year after year, but it also doesn't seem like there's been any regression."

"That means your outrageous ability has already broken away from the entire ability tree framework. It's like an organizational chart where I'm not even there. Your ability is too advanced; the organizational chart doesn't even dare to include you. This is no longer within the scope of ordinary abilities; it's probably beyond the ordinary."

Niannian started speaking in a language he couldn't understand again.

Prince Bitter Gourd tried hard to understand what she was saying and responded with a smile.

"Your time manipulation ability probably won't advance to the next level."

"Yes, that should be it. It's been half-dead like this for a while now, and overall it hasn't changed much."

"Still half-dead, is that how you describe a powerful superpower?"
Xin Nian chuckled inwardly, but looked at him with a blank expression. "If your time-manipulation ability could be upgraded to allow you to freeze time every three minutes, then you would be a god in this world, not a mortal."

"It's better to be a mortal. Mortals can eat and drink with Nian Nian, and they are carefree."

That's you! Your Highness the Crown Prince, who never worries about food or drink.

They are carefree, while ordinary people in this situation would be worried to death from lack of food and clothing.

“Tell me the truth.”

"Yes, go ahead and ask."

Xin Nian originally wanted to scold him with a stern face.

But when he met the other person's clear, innocent phoenix eyes, his expression involuntarily relaxed. "Since you knew about the unusual celestial phenomena and the sudden change that would occur within a month, did you make arrangements beforehand?"

"Before the capital became a ghost town, you must have transported away a large number of people and supplies, right?"

The crown prince nodded. "Yes!"

"Where was it taken?"

"The northern lands are icy and barren!"

"What's the purpose of choosing that location?" Xin Nian asked, puzzled.

If it's the northern icy wasteland, isn't that the place where they were exiled before?

Xiao Jinzhi smiled through his phoenix eyes, “Nian Nian, imagine this: if heavenly fire were to descend indiscriminately upon the earth, every place would be reduced to scorched earth.”

"Only the icy wastelands of the North are immune!"

Xin Nian looked at him expressionlessly, almost able to predict what he would say next.

Sure enough, the Crown Prince smiled and said, "Think about it, the heavenly fire crackles down and neutralizes the ice in the Ice Wasteland! At worst, it turns into a vast ocean, but Old Gu has calculated that there is a glimmer of hope in the North."

"This means that an oasis may be born there."

"So you started shifting manpower and resources to the North in batches all along? You're building a base there? I mean, what did you set up there?"

The prince moved closer to her and kissed the little girl, saying, "We're heading there now. You'll see it when we get there. I'll give you everything; you'll surely be delighted."

Xin Nian took a breath. "So... that's why we were exiled to the icy wasteland of the North."

The crown prince blinked, coughed lightly, and said in a voice barely audible, "It was my suggestion."

The little girl really wanted to slap him!

You're really good at messing things up!

She said that along the way, there were imperial physicians, a timekeeping device from the Imperial Observatory, and a group of brothers from the Dragon Tiger Stronghold with explosive fighting skills!
Everything's been arranged perfectly for you. Look at this team composition—they're skilled in both academics and martial arts, capable of fighting and holding their own, and they even have a personal physician.

Ahhh.

"Don't be angry, Niannian. Listen to me." Xiao Jinzhi thought she was angry, so she quickly whispered to soothe her, "That evil emperor originally wanted to exile the men of your Xin family and send the women to the brothels."

what?
Upon hearing this, Xin Nian was furious!

She knew about the Jiaofangsi. To put it nicely, it was the court music management agency; to put it bluntly, it was just a place for government-run prostitutes!
It's been shown on TV that when an official receives a reward from the emperor, or when a foreign delegation visits, they'll have two musicians from the Imperial Music Bureau accompany him. And what else could these musicians be but simple performers of music?
Bah! Damn it! That damn emperor! Don't let her run into him! If she doesn't kill him, she's not Xin!

"Don't be angry. That scoundrel is currently out there, and we don't even know if he'll make it to Xishan County in time," Xiao Jinzhi reassured her.

"So why did the dog emperor change his mind later? Was it because of your advice?"

"Well, I'll have a whole bunch of censors in the court talk to him. I'm too lazy to waste my breath on him."

"We can't let the court officials down. Sending the women of the Duke's family to the brothel would be a blatant slap in the face to the court officials. Besides, the Empress Dowager has been pleading for you and strongly requesting that your women be exiled as well. The Emperor had no choice but to reluctantly agree."

In fact, the situation was never clarified at the time. It was just that Duke Xin, along with the eldest son, the eldest son, and the second son, disappeared at the same time. For some reason, when the news reached Shengjing, it became countless absurd versions, and rumors spread everywhere.

"You planned all of this." Xin Nian looked at the Crown Prince with curiosity, her mood calming down considerably.

"What if the emperor hadn't agreed to exile the women?"

The crown prince thought for a moment and answered honestly, "I have made two preparations."

"One option is to let you go cleanly and simply. The other is to let him die quickly and easily. I feel he will choose the former."
