Traveled through time at the same time, but both clones were beautiful girls

"hiss......"

Adam took a slight breath.

Those delicate feet belong to two mischievous little girls.

One foot gently rubbed around his navel with its soft arch, while the rounded heel occasionally brushed downwards.

The other one, on the other hand, waged guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, its toes curling back like a slightly sharp little brush, adept at the strategy of retreating when the enemy advances and harassing when the enemy tires, appearing both near and far.

Adam felt slightly anxious.

But he is no longer the same person he used to be!

He managed to remain calm even in this small situation.

"Let's get down to business. Xixi and I discovered something with tremendous potential in Mingchao's world."

Mingchao?

Isayama Yomi was stunned.

In her previous life, she was also a player who completed the first chapter of the story, and in terms of character strength, it seems that only the Lord of the Year is worth mentioning.

What else is there...?

"Ming Shiki."

"Ming Shiki?"

She began to peruse the memories she had just synchronized, a subtle expression appearing on her face: "How come it has the same setting as the cursed spirits in the world of sorcery? Oh, it's different!"

Cursed spirits are formed from the collection of specific negative human emotions; to some extent, they can be considered appendages of humanity.

The Ming Shi is the inner demon of all human civilization, the ultimate trial for all mankind.

"The specific and the whole, emotions and inner demons."

"I'm starting to understand what you mean. These two things do seem to have a coincidental complementary relationship."

Izayama Yomi was surprised, and her pair of black-stockinged feet stopped: "Wait a minute, Adam, you mean...?"

"right!"

Adam took her silky little feet in his hands and gently kissed the back of her feet.

During a break from playing with Mercury Lamp in the afternoon, Adam had already taken [Meru-Shiki - Musou Senju] to the Jujutsu World, where it was replenished by the world's will, giving it the characteristics of a Jujutsu Spirit. Then he took it to the Rose - Demon Slayer World and placed it into the N-Domain.

He and Arisu observed that a perfect fusion trend was indeed emerging between [Ming Shiki - Musou Senju] and [Ju Ling - War Knight]!

The newborn Mingshi feeds on the inner demons of all human civilization, without being picky about the specific human fears and hatreds of war.

It can materialize all weapons in human history, and absorb the frequencies of anything defined as a "weapon." Furthermore, the New Life Form can project historical armies...

"Like the Harmony Formation, it is immortal and indestructible. As long as war and conflict exist among humans, it will never die."

"There are also many other war-related capabilities..."

Adam's tone was somewhat cheerful: "I also sense that it's evolving towards a higher level, with development potential exceeding expectations!"

"so......"

"So I was thinking, since Ming Shiki can perfectly fuse with the cursed spirit, and you are the only villain in the world of cursed arts, why don't you enhance Ming Shiki?"

......

Isayama Yomi, loading the Cursed Spirit - Ming Style template.

This template has no attributes; it only represents the negative will of humanity. Combined with the power of the nine-tailed fox, Huang Quan becomes the king of the world of curses—the king of all curses!

Without her permission, no more top-tier cursed spirits will ever appear in the world.

Of course, the world's will did protest, but Adam countered with the excuse that "since we've given the [Yang] side Rozen Maiden and Cursed Swordsman, it won't hurt to give the [Yin] side a little boost."

Brother, since you're based on the fundamental principle of yin and yang balance, you need to treat everyone fairly!

Having done all this, Adam also brought the three final, supreme curses—[Plague], [Famine], and [Death]—to the N-realm.

As soon as it was sent in, the cursed embryo of [Plague] grew rapidly!

Arisu Sakayanagi said that it is absorbing humanity's ultimate fear and hatred of the "Spanish flu," because just a few years ago, that global flu pandemic caused at least 50 million deaths!

The cursed fetus was lucky, and even affectionately told Adam and Arisugawa that it was still very hungry.

Adam just remembered another map in the Narutaka world, which also had a Narutaka system. Although he had only played the storyline of the Imazu map and hadn't even set off for Lina Xita before he was transported to another world, he could still glean some clues from Imazu's intelligence network in Lina Xita.

The Rinascente of the Lydia Islands, called Leviathan, are marine creatures and seem to have no connection to plagues.

However, combining the data on Laguna, the city-state most severely ravaged by the Leviathan plague, and the data on the Black Tide from twenty years ago, Jinxi speculates that the prototype of that place should be Italy on Earth—Italy was the first European country to be hit by the Black Death in the fourteenth century.

If my guess is correct, then [Ming Shiki - Leviathan] is most likely related to the plague.

Adam decided to go to Raguna to take a look.

......

In Jinzhou, Huanglan encyclopedias were consulted.

Today, besides the Prime Minister and her guards, there is one more person.

"Teacher, why didn't you give me a heads-up before you returned from Mingting?"

Jin Xi smiled as she looked at the fiery red figure opposite her, her tone relaxed: "Could it be that your little messenger sparrow has become lazy?"

I rushed back under the starlight.

Changli sat opposite a Go board.

She could tell that the chessboard was made entirely of top-quality yellow jade, and the two jars of black and white chess pieces were also carefully polished from fine stones, smooth and round, clearly not ordinary items.

She was a chess enthusiast, and her eyes lit up immediately.

"Xi, where did you get such a nice thing?"

"This was a gift from someone... Teacher, please."

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

The player with the black pieces moves first.

Neither of them mentioned the latest developments in Jinzhou, nor why Changli had suddenly returned.

Changli was completely absorbed in the game, as if trying to observe his disciple's mood and changes through his moves.

This was very interesting to her.

Jin Xi, on the other hand, casually and freely looked at her teacher.

This woman...

It's so beautiful.

Chapter Sixty-One: I Want a Dragon and a Phoenix!

Changli once served as the Chief Secretary of the Ministry of Justice in the Ming Dynasty.

Many years ago, she resigned from her position as chief secretary and voluntarily came to this remote place of Jinzhou to serve as an advisor, secretly teaching Jinxi, who was designated by the ruler to be the next prime minister. It can be said that she was the closest human being to Jinxi in her life.

“Snap.”

As the game progressed to the middle stage, Jinxi slowly placed a piece.

She sized up the woman opposite her, who was both a teacher and a friend. Although they had known each other for many years, Jin Xi always saw a look of amazement in her eyes.

Chang Li has long red hair tied in a long ponytail. The crimson ends of her hair sway gently behind her, like the tail feathers of a legendary spirit bird, giving her a lazy and casual look.

Her long, fiery red hair was paired with an outer garment primarily composed of red, white, and black, the hem of which was divided into several sections, resembling a phoenix.

That woman is really beautiful, and she's dressed really well.

There is also a unique charm that mature women possess.

After pondering for a long time, Changli responded with a move. He looked up and found his disciple staring intently at him. He couldn't help but smile. In those golden eyes that seemed both affectionate and indifferent, there were multiple black rings.

Jin Xi thought to herself, "Are these really not the Rinnegan from Naruto?"

"Sanhua, go prepare tea."

Not long after, Sanhua brought over two cups of tea.

Chang Li picked up her teacup, blew on it, and suddenly asked, "Xi, you didn't put laxatives in this tea, did you?"

"what......"

The bright-eyed, white-toothed girl blinked and smiled gently: "Teacher, you're overthinking it."

"Hard to say."

Even so, Changli still took a sip.

Jinxi picked up a white stone and decisively placed it down.

"Alas!"

Chang Li was surprised.

She had taught Jinxi for many years and considered herself to be the person who understood Jinxi the most in the world. Jinxi's chess style was basically inherited from her. It seemed loose and casual, without any rules, but if the opponent intended to attack, they would find that they had already entered a tightly woven cage!

However, when Xi made that move and completely destroyed the situation they had built up, Changli was inevitably surprised.

"Like a gecko shedding its tail, it cuts off when necessary... Xi, when did your chess style become so ruthless and decisive, leaving no room for maneuver?"

"With power comes decisiveness! For example, if a person only has a few coins in their pocket, they will inevitably struggle to buy even a simple pancake, and will have to be very careful with every penny. But if they are rolling in money, they can buy whatever they want without any constraints."

Jin Xi met Chang Li's searching gaze.

"Teacher, your chess moves are meticulous, you are adept at understanding and exploiting human nature, luring people into your game. Even now, you still want to lure me, this pawn, into your game?"

"If we can break this deadlock, I believe Xi wouldn't mind being a pawn."

“You’re right, but I’ve already stepped out of the chessboard. I now have the power to overturn the chessboard, no matter whose chessboard it is.”

Jinxi placed another white piece.

"Snapped!"

The white pieces landed on the chessboard with a soft thud, then suddenly disintegrated into essential vibrations in the void, as if a blue dragon maiden were painting in the air, creating scenes of illusion out of thin air!

The black and white pieces on the chessboard seemed to come alive and began to rotate.

Changli's consciousness blurred, and she felt her mind reach beyond the comprehension of the universe, where she saw a planet with ebb and flow in the vast void!

She seemed to hear the desperate cries of all living beings, the dying sobs of a planet.

The so-called lament.

The so-called "sounding tide".

Is that really how it is...?

Her nimble hand, which had been swiftly placing the piece, suddenly froze!

A black piece fell limply from her hand, spun a few times, and finally landed in one spot.

Jinxi looked down, raised her eyebrows, and smiled.

"A mediocre hand."

After a long while, Changli finally let out a long sigh.

"Xi, what exactly happened to you during the short time I was gone?"

Jinxi's sweeping reforms in Jinzhou, even extending her reach into the Night Return Army, were actually within Changli's expectations.

She knew her disciple harbored ambitions.

Changli did not object to Jinxi having such ambitions.

To be fair, she even strongly supported what Jinxi did in Jinzhou.

However, the timing was wrong.

In her estimation, Xi should serve as the Prime Minister for at least five years, gaining the support of the people and winning over and dividing local forces in order to accumulate the power to sweep away all deep-seated problems.

Governing a state is not as simple as it seems.

You have a transfer order, and you claim to be the prime minister, but what good does that do in this officialdom? Does it guarantee you'll be favored by everyone and have everything go smoothly?
