Sky Curtain: Taking Little Rhinoceros to wash his feet! Li Er breaks down!

"Boss Lin, if you don't see the 500,000 yuan debt by today, I'll bring my men to smash up this lousy shop and clear it out first thing tomorrow morning!"

Jiangcheng, Fanxing Foot Bath Shop.

Across the street, nouveau riche Wang Dafu slammed his hand on the front desk, making the lucky cat figurine sway.

He had his eye on this location for a long time, and taking advantage of Lin Yu's broken financial chain, he came to his door every day to pressure him.

Lin Yu clutched the statement with only five thousand yuan left in his hand, his gaze icy cold:

"The contract expires at the end of the year, and I'm not transferring the business. Goodbye, Mr. Wang."

"Fine! You've got guts! Even the foot massage therapists have all run away from this run-down shop, let's see how you turn things around? Relying on that little brat eating spicy snacks behind you?"

Wang Dafu chuckled and pointed to the corner of the front desk.

The only part-time female college student sitting there, refusing to leave, was Su Tiantian.

Su Tiantian pushed up her black-rimmed glasses, smacked her lips, swallowed the last bite of konjac juice, and slowly pulled out a tissue:

"Sir, your volume is too high. According to labor law, if you shout again, I'll call the police and claim damages for emotional distress."

"You... fine! Just you wait and see!"

Wang Dafu was furious and slammed the door shut as he left.

The lobby fell silent once more. Lin Yu looked at the empty leather sofas and the dim neon signs, and sighed deeply.

Is the last vestige of my parents' hard work really going to be squandered in my own hands?

Just now.

"Cough cough... Big brother..."

A faint, soft, childlike voice, accompanied by a tearing, gasping sound, suddenly rang out in a dead corner of the empty lobby.

Lin Yu's pupils contracted, and he abruptly lowered his head.

Beside the welcome sofa, a little girl of about four or five years old was curled up.

She was exquisitely beautiful, with features so delicate they seemed otherworldly, but at this moment her face was ashen, her small hands clutching her chest, coughing uncontrollably.

Even more bizarrely, she was wearing an extremely elaborate ancient gold-threaded silk gauze dress, the hem of which was covered in mud and dust, giving off a sense of disarray that did not belong to this era.

"Clatter."

Su Tiantian dropped the spicy snack in her hand to the ground, her eyes wide with surprise.

"Boss...whose child is this? The style and quality of this Hanfu must cost tens of thousands, right?"

Lin Yu didn't care about any of that. He rushed over, knelt down on one knee, and pulled the swaying little girl into his arms.

The moment I touched her, the girl's body temperature was frighteningly cold.

"Little girl, don't be afraid. What's your name? Where are your family?"

The little girl was breathing heavily and laboredly, like a fish out of oxygen.

Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she shrank timidly into Lin Yu's arms like a frightened fawn.

"I...I'm called Li Mingda, and my father calls me Xiao Sizi. Big brother...is this the underworld? Xiao Sizi can't breathe...it feels so bad..."

Li Mingda?

A little rhinoceros?!

Lin Yu's mind went blank.

Isn't this Princess Jinyang, the most beloved but short-lived legitimate daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, from the history books?!

Before he could even process this absurd reality, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly exploded in his mind:

[Ding! A temporal and spatial bond has been detected between the host and Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty.]

[Wanchao Emotional Live Streaming System, officially integrated!]

[Forcibly connecting to the parallel universe of Wanchao... Connection successful!]

[Current Livestream Title: "Taking Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty to Experience a Modern Immersive Foot Massage!"]

boom--!!!

In that instant, the parallel historical river of five thousand years of China was forcibly torn apart by an irresistible force!

Above the skies of countless dynasties, a nine-colored radiance simultaneously burst forth, obscuring the sky and the sun!

The Qin Dynasty

Xianyang Palace.

The candlelight flickered as Emperor Qin Shi Huang sat at his desk, reviewing a mountain of bamboo slips.

"Your Majesty! The sky has split open! A divine miracle has descended from the heavens!"

The eunuch's shrill scream pierced the sky.

Ying Zheng suddenly stood up and strode out of the hall.

Above the eternal night, an endless scroll of strange light and shadow unfolded out of thin air.

"Could this... be a sign from a celestial being?"

The emperor, a figure of unparalleled horror, was so horrified that even the hand holding his sword trembled slightly.

The Great Han Dynasty.

Weiyang Palace.

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, who was racking his brains over the military expenses for fighting the Xiongnu, kicked over the imperial desk, drew the Chixiao sword from his waist, and pointed it straight to the sky:

"Where are the Imperial Guards?! Could this be an illusion cast by the Xiongnu sorcerers?!"

The Ming Dynasty Era.

The shoe sole in Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's hand fell to the ground with a "thud." He even forgot about Zhu Biao, who was running away with his head in his hands, and roared at the top of his lungs:

"Girl! Come out and see, the heavens are showing us a miracle!"

At this moment, the most tragic and desperate reaction came from the Tang Dynasty era.

The interior of the Lizheng Hall was like an ice cellar.

Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, roared madly in the palace, his eyes bloodshot, like a raging lion driven to desperation.

"Find it! Search the entire city of Chang'an! Dig three feet into the ground and find the rhinoceros!"

Just a stick's time later, Xiao Sizi vanished into thin air in the Imperial Garden, and Empress Zhangsun vomited blood and fainted on the spot.

"Your Majesty! There is... there is the image of the Princess in the heavens!"

The commander of the Imperial Guards tumbled and crawled into the hall.

Li Shimin suddenly rushed out of the main hall and looked up.

Within that overwhelming curtain of light, an image appeared with crystal clarity:

A strange, short-haired man wearing an oddly shaped short-sleeved shirt is tightly embracing Princess Jinyang, whom he cherishes as the apple of his eye and is the most noble woman in the Tang Dynasty!

At the very top of the image, a line of extremely eye-catching gilded characters floats above it.

(With the system's immense power, the ancient people of Wanchao automatically understood its meaning.)

— "Taking Princess Jinyang of the Tang Dynasty to experience a modern immersive foot massage!"

Washing feet?!

Why would the most noble and unparalleled eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty have to wash the feet of a short-haired barbarian?

"Zheng—!"

Li Shimin's eyes were bloodshot with rage, his whole body trembling with fury. He suddenly drew his imperial sword and pointed it straight at the sky, his fierce roar echoing throughout the Tang Dynasty palace:

"You scoundrel! How dare you insult my daughter! If you dare to touch a single hair on her head, I swear I will tear you to pieces and exterminate your entire clan!!!"

However, in the real world, there is the Jiangcheng Fanxing Foot Bath Shop.

Lin Yu had no idea that he had been ordered to have his entire family executed by the First Emperor of All Time.

He could only feel the little girl in his arms getting colder and colder, and her breathing becoming weaker and weaker.

"Sweetie! Forget about those lousy spicy strips!"

Lin Yu swept Xiao Sizi into his arms, his eyes filled with resolute determination, and strode towards the depths of the store.

"Go and open the top-of-the-line VIP suite immediately! Turn the underfloor heating and air conditioning to the highest setting!"

"First, soak the little girl in a constant-temperature herbal bath to warm her up, otherwise this illness could really kill her!"

As Lin Yu ran, the images on the screen shook violently before cutting into the interior of a modern foot massage parlor with flashing neon lights and glittering gold decorations.

At this moment, the entire Wanchao space-time was deathly silent.

All the ancient people stared intently at the sky, holding their breath.
