The Great Qin Dynasty: The egg of the Black Bird was revered as a national guardian beast.

The First Emperor raised his eyes and looked at Xuan Ye for a while.

She lowered her head again, letting the beads sway gently in front of her eyes, making a rustling sound.

"Heavenly Bird of Destiny, what kind of person do you think I, Ying Zheng, should be?"

The shadows of the trees on the ground swayed, and Xuan Ye spoke softly.

"He is a person who has never appeared in history and will never appear again in the future."

"He was just one person, yet he accomplished things beyond human capabilities."

He stood so high that no one around him could share the view of the world with him; he was all alone on the mountaintop.

At this point, Xuan Ye paused for a moment.

Turning his head to look at the First Emperor, he didn't know how to describe the emperor before him.

"They regard you as a god, but all I see is a lonely figure on the throne."

The First Emperor's usually calm smile faltered for a moment.

But soon, before he could speak, Xuan Ye stared at him blankly and said, word by word.

"Beneath the imperial crown and robes, there is also a person. I can feel your loneliness, a loneliness that seeps into your very bones."

"You ask me what kind of person you are."

My answer is...

"Lonely people."

"Hahaha, a lonely man." The First Emperor laughed uncontrollably, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Who is he? He is none other than the First Emperor!

An emperor does not need anyone's company.

Emperors are born in solitude and die in solitude; he was no exception.

"The Heavenly Mandate of the Black Bird is a fallacy."

The First Emperor looked at Xuan Ye and said with a smile.

"The North Star, residing alone south of the Milky Way, does the Celestial Bird of Destiny perhaps feel a sense of loneliness about it?"

"Of course not."

"That is exactly what I mean," the First Emperor said. "I am never afraid of loneliness. There is only one thing I fear."

"That means I am not bright enough, not dazzling enough."

Xuan Ye stood there, looking at the First Emperor, unable to utter a single word.

He thought he had seen through the First Emperor.

But who knew that the First Emperor's thoughts and ideas were no longer the same as those of ordinary people.

"Don't overthink it," the First Emperor said with a faint smile.

He added, "I will not return at noon. I have been here many times, but I have never had a meal here before."

Then he asked, "How is it? Surely the Heavenly Bird won't drive me away?"

He glanced at him.

Xuan Ye said, "If I chase you away, will you leave?"

"Of course not." The First Emperor didn't say much, but just smiled with his eyes narrowed.

"That's it then." Xuan Ye spread his wings. "What difference does it make whether we chase after them or not?"

The First Emperor lay face down on the table.

Looking at Xuan Ye: "The Heavenly Bird of Destiny, will it alone bear to abandon me?"

"..."

Xuan Ye fell silent.

When the First Emperor looked up, he saw that the bird had already spread its wings and flown towards the sky.

The First Emperor lowered his head and smiled silently.

........

Because the First Emperor was to dine at the Xuan Niao Palace.

The official in charge of the emperor's meals led the imperial chefs to the Xuan Niao Palace to prepare meals for the First Emperor.

Before long, one by one, tripods, gui vessels, and xu vessels filled with food were brought to the table, a very sumptuous feast.

The First Emperor sat in the seat of honor.

After the First Emperor's imperial meal was served, the people from the Xuan Niao Palace brought food from the Xuan Niao, a bird of destiny.

However, it paled in comparison to the imperial cuisine of the First Emperor.

The First Emperor's harem included meat cooked in cauldrons, millet stored in gui vessels, and vegetables held in xu vessels.

But all he had was practice and sweet spring water.

Besides that, there were only some common fruits, nothing else.

After being angry with the alchemist all day, the First Emperor was also hungry.

He picked up his chopsticks, grabbed some food, and put it in his mouth, eating it with the millet in his mouth.

Seeing how much the First Emperor was enjoying his meal.

Xuan Ye lowered his head again, glanced at what was laid out in front of him, and his anger flared up once more.

It spread its wings and flipped it over in one fell swoop.

The First Emperor hadn't even swallowed his food yet, staring blankly at Xuan Ye, filled with doubt.

After swallowing the food, he put down his chopsticks.

Looking at Xuan Ye, he asked, "What's wrong? Does the Heavenly Fate Mystic Bird not like it?"

The First Emperor did not know why Xuan Ye had suddenly acted this way.

Even now, his face is still full of doubt as he stands there, staring blankly.

"You're eating such a lavish meal, but I'm only eating this."

Xuan Ye looked at the First Emperor, then lowered his head to look at Lian Shi, who had fallen to the ground.

"Ahem." He coughed lightly twice and said with a smile.

"I've heard that the Heavenly Mandate Black Bird used to be quite fond of this item; otherwise, I wouldn't have sent it to it so often."

Xuan Ye narrowed his eyes slightly and said helplessly.

"No matter how delicious something is, you can eat it for one day, two days, or even three to five days."

"But," Xuan Ye said, letting out a long howl, "I've been eating this ever since I hatched, and I've been eating it ever since."

"This is what I eat every day when I open my eyes, this is what I eat at noon, this is what I eat in the evening, and this is what I eat at night."

"Your Majesty the First Emperor," Xuan Ye looked at the First Emperor, "Do you understand my feelings? Do you know how I feel?!"

I sensed the resentment in the voice of the Celestial Bird.

Watching him spread his wings and hug them to his head, looking utterly hopeless.

He paused for a moment, then smiled slightly, lowered his eyes, and stared blankly at the dishes on the table.

Finally, he raised his head and said, "I understand." Then, he looked at Xuan Ye and said, "You may dine with me."

The First Emperor had just finished speaking.

Xuan Ye then folded his wings, returned to his own spot, and sat obediently.

The First Emperor looked at him and smiled.

Because he didn't want others to know that Xuan Ye could speak human language, he had already dismissed everyone in the palace.

Therefore, she had no choice but to get up and serve him rice herself.

Soon, a bowl of steaming millet was placed in front of Xuan Ye.

Xuan Ye looked at the bowl of millet rice.

Although I've never eaten it before, I'm already tired of eating fruit day and night, so this is a good opportunity to try the staple food of the Qin Dynasty.

Thinking this way,

It lowered its head and began to peck at the food with its sharp beak.

However, after tasting the millet rice, he froze, his eyes narrowing.

He couldn't quite describe what it tasted like.

But having grown tired of fruit, he tried the millet rice and found it quite delicious.

"How is it?" the First Emperor asked with some anticipation.

After finishing his meal, he nodded and said, "It was delicious."

The First Emperor chuckled, then used another container to pick up some meat and vegetables and brought it over.

"In that case, let's try the food."

Xuan Ye nodded, then picked up a piece of meat and ate it in a few bites.

But in the end, the movement froze.

He didn't know what the dish tasted like, but it was probably a taste that most people couldn't accept.

He raised his head and looked ahead.

To his astonishment, the First Emperor calmly ate the food on the table.

He, however, had already gotten used to eating it.

After finishing his meal, the First Emperor sat opposite Xuan Ye, watching the Heavenly Mandate Black Bird in front of him eat millet rice.

He just watched.

Time seemed to slow down at that moment.
