Simultaneous Journey: Starting from Holy Terra

"Your Highness, a sorcerer outside requests an audience."

The attendants in the palace went to report, and they referred to Ye Ming and Xiaolongnu as "Fangshi," which was a way of defining their identities.

It just so happens that Consort He has been ill lately, so inviting a Taoist priest to perform a blessing ritual is quite appropriate.

"Come in."

A seductive voice rang out, and Ye Ming and Xiaolongnu were led into the palace.

Behind the delicate veil, a shapely figure swayed, its mysterious and alluring beauty captivating all who beheld it.

For any man, this sense of ambiguity is the most fatal!

Little Dragon Girl witnessed this scene. As a "Little Dragon Girl" with a completely different experience, although she maintained her original temperament, she was no longer the original innocent and pure person.

Of course she knew the ins and outs of it all, and she could also tell that the woman in front of her, like herself, was born with a seductive nature!

However, Xiaolongnu used her Taoist cultivation to transform this alluring nature into her innate talent.

The woman in front of him, whose face he couldn't see, had completely accepted him!

According to mythological history, if she accepts herself and is also able to cultivate the system of this world, she will definitely become a remarkable powerhouse!

Furthermore, since this is a mission world within the Main God Space, there is a high possibility that it will receive enhancements from the Main God!

If Ye Ming is seduced and can't resist...

Little Dragon Girl couldn't help but move closer to Ye Ming. If anything happened to Ye Ming, she would definitely take action immediately!

It wasn't for Ye Ming, but for myself!

Ye Ming only glanced at her once, then paid no more attention to the seductive vixen who had sat up, instead giving Little Dragon Girl a strange look.

No, what's wrong with this woman?

What does it mean when you suddenly get close to me?

"Hmm~ You are quite handsome, making me a little itchy~ Come forward and let me see you."

Ye Ming and Xiaolongnu stepped forward together, but this "fairy" did not look at Xiaolongnu. Instead, she stretched out her slender, jade-like hand and gently stroked Ye Ming's chin.

"Indeed, you do possess some cultivation, which is sufficient for handling tasks. How about this, I will ask my brother for a position, as long as you can place this person in Changqiu Palace. As for where the palace is, someone will take you there. What do you say?"

Ye Ming looked at the maid who was walking over. The maid was carrying a plate with a doll covered in needles on it.

This is witchcraft!

Ye Ming raised an eyebrow, accepted the plate without hesitation, but then looked up at the gauze curtain and asked, "May I ask your name, esteemed guest?"

Does it matter?

"Important, yet not important."

"Hehe... Zhang Changshi really has a good eye for people; he can find someone with considerable talent even if he doesn't ask for much."

The other person chuckled softly, their laughter as clear and melodious as a silver bell.

"Put that thing down. Follow my men out of the palace to Yingchuan to find someone. Someone will meet you when you arrive. Remember, after you leave here, your master's surname is 'He'!"

"I understand, but I come from the mountains and fields seeking fame and fortune. Now that I have begun to serve you, I should share your burdens. Please wait a moment, my lord."

Ye Ming placed the witchcraft in his inner clothing, bowed to the other party, took three steps back, turned around and pulled Xiaolongnu out of the palace.

"You're that straightforward? Do you enjoy being someone's dog?"

During the telepathic connection, Xiaolongnu's tone was unpleasant, tinged with sarcasm and anger.

"Hehe, the other party is the later Empress He, and now she is going to murder Empress Song. If I hadn't asked her name just now, after putting the things away, we would have become accomplices of Empress Song who broke into the palace, and we wouldn't have been able to take a single step out."

Ye Ming's tone was tinged with amusement, "And now, all we need to do is quietly put the things inside, and then walk out of the palace gates to head to Yingchuan."

"As long as we can get out, who knows who'll be the dog in the future!"

Little Dragon Girl frowned and asked, "...You want to play with her?"

"Did you see something unpleasant while you were out? Why are these things on your mind?"

Ye Ming was taken aback by Xiaolongnu's question. After rolling his eyes, he logged in and found the Holy Lord Ye Ming's inventory, from which he obtained a trace of the Shadow Legion's power.

Then he looked at the witchcraft doll in his hand.

[Props: Voodoo Doll]

[Level: C]

[Effect: A one-time use curse item that can curse a target through a specific ritual. After completing the ritual, it can curse and kill enemies weaker than oneself!]

[Ceremony details...]

"A C-grade item. As expected of Mythical Three Kingdoms, even a random item has such a high rating and uniqueness."

"But it seems unlikely that it could be switched. After all, this is a mythological world, and the other party isn't stupid. However, there is a chance to secretly take it away."

Ye Ming decided to release a few mechanical spiders and mechanical flies to investigate.

After confirming that there would be no more imperial guards like Zhang Rang, he summoned the shadow soldiers and sent the witch doll into Empress Song's palace. At the same time, he placed a shadow on the witch doll, waiting for an opportunity to take it away later.

After putting their things away, Ye Ming led Xiaolongnu to Changqiu Palace in a pretentious manner, and then quietly circled back.

After putting their things away, Ye Ming led Xiaolongnu to Changqiu Palace in a pretentious manner, and then quietly circled back.

"Your Highness, the mission is complete."

Ye Ming entered the hall, bowed respectfully, and reported the situation to Consort He.

At this moment, Consort He was also very surprised. She sent people to confirm that it had indeed been placed in Empress Song's palace, and it was placed very secretly, and even arranged!

The problem is that her people didn't see Ye Ming enter the palace; they only saw him walk to a corner outside the palace and then quickly return.

So, how did he put it in?

But... as long as it's done, that's good, isn't that what he did?

Consort He thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Very good. I didn't expect you to be such a capable person. I will introduce you to my brother. Keep this matter to yourself, understand?"

"Yes, ma'am."

Ye Ming kept his head down and never looked up.

As He Guiren watched his actions, she became increasingly satisfied with Ye Ming. However, a hint of murderous intent lurked in her beautiful, flirtatious eyes...

"Go, take this letter to Yingchuan."

Consort He waved her hand dismissively, as if she were shooing away a dog.

Ye Ming accepted it with both hands, a smile appearing on his lowered face.

Ye Ming left the palace and followed the palace maid out of the palace gate without saying a word. They walked all the way to the outside of the city and ran into the forest.

After running into the forest, Ye Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief and laughed heartily.

"Hahaha! I never expected this! We lacked official status, and she gave us official status; we lacked a path to advancement, and she gave us that path!"

"You can still laugh? Aren't you afraid that when we get to her brother He Jin, they'll get rid of us? I don't believe you couldn't see the murderous intent in her eyes just now."

Xiaolongnu was very puzzled by Ye Ming's behavior.

Why can someone still laugh when they're being treated like a dog, a gun, and destined to be killed?

Ye Ming smiled and took out the letter of recommendation, saying, "You're right."

"But this is a struggle for the positions of Empress and Crown Prince. The future Empress Dowager He is only in the future. Perhaps Emperor Ling will want to bring the He family into the imperial family as relatives, but they are not the only ones who want this position!"

"So we have another option: to pledge allegiance to the emperor himself, or to use him as leverage to pledge allegiance to their future political enemies."

"Of course, if you ask me, I don't think their assassins could kill me, so I've decided to go find He Jin first, and make a trip to Yingchuan!"

"Don't you think they can kill you? I didn't expect my captain to be such a boastful person." Little Dragon Girl said coldly, "Then I'll see. Don't expect me to collect your corpse later. I'm not going to take care of you."

"Don't worry, we won't die. You can check the panel; we just had quite a haul!" Ye Ming smiled, then swaggered towards Yingchuan.

Xiaolongnu looked at Ye Ming, somewhat confused about what he was thinking.

But she also saw that Ye Ming was relatively calm and had many merits, making him a good teammate.

Moreover, she would lose reincarnation points if her teammates died, and she didn't want to be in debt before even entering the God Space!

Furthermore—

Just as Ye Ming said, their gains just now were truly substantial!

[Side quest completed!]

[Successfully helped Consort He complete her plan to frame Empress Song! Rewards: 2 D-level side quests, 500 Reincarnation Points!]

[Assigned Identity: Commoner!]

Just as Ye Ming said, Consort He really came to our aid when we were sleepy. The side quests and reincarnation points were so-so, but this "identity" was crucial enough!

With this identity, they are considered to have integrated into this world. They are recognized and can be recommended for the civil service and join the army as true commoners!

Without this identity, they will find it impossible to move an inch!

This is also why Xiaolongnu was willing to trust Ye Ming one more time.

Following the markings on the map, the two explored their way towards Yingchuan.

……

"Wait, wait a minute! Let me out, please, I don't want to die!"

Inside a county jail cell, a young man was kneeling on the ground, pleading with the jailer before him.

The jailer ignored their pleas and, in frustration, threw a bowl at them.

"I, I can tell you, Lord—uh, uh…"

Just as the young man was about to reveal the existence of the "Main God Space," he suddenly felt a lump in his throat, then clutched his heart in pain and collapsed stiffly.

After his death, the jailer who was guarding him, with practiced ease, picked up a knife, cut off his head, and then, with the blood on his face, wrote it down in a notebook.

"A bandit appeared at xx Pavilion in xx County. The pavilion chief led his men to capture him and behead him on the roadside."

……

"No! Don't kill me!"

……

"Wait a minute, I'm a transmigrator! I can't just die like this!"

……

Different locations, almost the same time.

Within the first hour of entering the mission, a large number of reincarnators died because they failed to obtain a recognized identity.

The deaths of these reincarnated beings went unnoticed by the locals.

Because in their eyes, these people look just like them, dress the same way, and speak the same way.

The only difference is that they are not registered in the household register, nor are they servants of any aristocratic family.

In this day and age, this is perfectly normal!

Migrants who lost their land, reclusive households who abandoned their household registration and fled to the deep mountains, criminals who destroyed their household registration and became outlaws... these are all people without household registration.

Such beings cannot be called "human" in this era!

They have no human rights!

For local officials, they are simply a gift of merit delivered to their doorstep!

……

Five days later.

Ye Ming and Xiaolongnu appeared in Yingchuan County and arrived at the county seat, Yangdi County.

"These are our travel permits. We're here from Luoyang to find someone." Ye Ming took out the travel permits that Consort He had given them and handed them to the guards at the city gate for inspection.

Upon seeing the signs on the road, the two guards exchanged a glance.

"Wait here," one of them said, then turned and went up to the city wall. A moment later, he came back with a man wearing leather armor.

"Are you the ones the adults ordered to wait for? What are your names?"

"Ye Ming".

"Dragon Girl".

"Yes, that's right. Follow me."

The man was quick and efficient. He led the two to a temporary office on the city wall, and after sitting down, he said:

"I am Bao Xin, a subordinate of the Prefect. I am temporarily serving as the Inspector of Bandits. The Prefect has ordered that one of you two may choose to remain in Yangdi. You may choose to join the army or serve as a minor official under the Prefect. The choice is yours."

Bao Xin took out two stamped documents. These two appointment documents were unsigned; they would take effect immediately once a name was written on them.

He also said that only one person could be selected, and there was only one position.

Furthermore, while speaking, he didn't even glance at Xiaolongnu beside Ye Ming, which is normal and consistent with historical limitations...

"Thank you, sir. I choose to be a minor official under your command!" Ye Ming quickly discussed with Xiaolongnu and reached their decision.

"very good."

Bao Xin agreed with Ye Ming's choice, put away the documents in his hand, and then took out the seal and certificate, saying, "Report on time tomorrow. Don't blame me for not reminding you if you miss the time. From today onwards, you are the master's disciple. Do your job well, and you will not be treated unfairly."

"Yes, sir!"

Ye Ming bowed respectfully, but instead of leaving, he remained silent for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Bao Xin asked.

Ye Ming immediately adopted a grateful expression, clasped his hands together, and said, "I was on a dangerous mission and thought I was going to die, but I never expected that you would be so kind and benevolent, not only sparing my life but also granting me an official position!"

"And since you, my lord, have been so kind and helpful, I am deeply grateful! If you, sir, ever need assistance with military matters, please send someone to find me; I will certainly act on your behalf!"

Bao Xin became interested upon hearing this, not so much in Ye Ming's promise or the so-called "dangerous situation," but in Ye Ming's way of speaking.

"I thought you were a country bumpkin, but I didn't expect you to speak so eloquently. It's strange, but it's also quite interesting. You're the kind of person who could be a scholar."

"If you don't mind, you could visit that school in your spare time; you might find it helpful!"
