Chapter 177: Heart of Wanhua Palace
"Your Highness, the maids will be ready tonight. I will help you get familiar with the environment first."
"You don't need to arrange for other maids. I have just saved their souls and I will bring them back to life." Long Siqi then said to Chang Jiao, "Chang Jiao, you and Bai Zhan prepare 38,000 lotus root bodies. I will attach these souls to them and bring them back to life."
"Okay, Siqi." Chang Jiao then summoned Bai Zhan through her mind.
"Bai Zhan, hurry to Hadrian's Palace in Rome. I need your help with something important."
Messalina looked at Long Siqi with incredible eyes. To revive tens of thousands of dead people? This was something she had never seen or heard of before. However, she couldn't help but worry. Many of those dead people were Caesar's confidants. These people were all rebels. If they were resurrected, it would definitely cause civil unrest in the palace and even shake her position as emperor.
"Your Highness, I have something to worry about. It's about the rebels."
"Messalina, you don't have to worry. Before saving these souls, I have already identified their good and evil. The souls that voluntarily surrendered to the devil have long been reduced to ashes." Long Siqi comforted.
"Your Highness, there is one more thing..." Messalina frowned slightly.
Among those who died were Caesar's sons, who, if resurrected, would have fought for the throne. She had only one daughter with Caesar, and she was only five years old. After the affair was exposed, she sent her daughter to Greece, which was her aunt's kingdom.
Seeing what she was thinking, Long Siqi sighed helplessly and said, "They will be resurrected in the form of lotus root people. Although they are no different from before, they no longer have the ability to reproduce and will also experience birth, aging, sickness and death. As for the struggle for power and profit among humans, the gods should not interfere."
Hearing her words, Messalina was secretly delighted: Since the princes no longer have the ability to reproduce, how can they become emperors? God is really helping me!
Long Siqi had no interest in this matter.
Suddenly, a blue light flashed, and a tall and mighty man appeared in front of Chang Jiao.
"Fairy Chang Jiao, Princess Long Siqi, what important matter do you want me to tell you?" Bai Zhan bowed respectfully.
Messalina was startled. This handsome man who appeared out of nowhere, eight feet tall and as strong as a mountain, could he also be the princess's entourage? What was his relationship with the princess?
Venus knew something about the four ancient mythical beasts, so she greeted politely, "Hello, White Tiger."
"Meet Venus, the goddess of love." Bai Zhan responded politely.
As one of the four ancient divine beasts, he has roamed between heaven and earth for hundreds of millions of years, and he also understands the languages of various divine realms. However, he has a dull personality and does not like to communicate with others.
"Bai Zhan, you and I found the thousand-year-old lotus root together. Siqi wants to save the lives of tens of thousands of people." Chang Jiao said.
"As you command! Fairy Chang Jiao, please follow me."
Bai Zhan is a divine beast who speaks little but has strong execution ability. He immediately takes Chang Jiao and disappears from the spot.
However, preparing 38,000 lotus root human bodies is not an easy task and it will keep them busy for a while.
After resolving the Roman crisis, Long Siqi wanted to return to the Wanhua Palace. She hadn't had time to appreciate the flowers that Zuqi sent her last night. This time he left suddenly, and Yingying must have been very worried.
But at this moment, Venus on the left was gently holding her hand, Messalina on the right was hugging her waist tightly, and Medusa was always following behind her.
"Your Highness, I heard that you love delicious food, right?" Messalina knew a lot about this oriental goddess.
Long Siqi nodded.
“Have you ever tasted the food of Rome?”
Long Siqi shook her head.
"I will definitely let you taste the most delicious food in all of Rome." Messalina smiled charmingly.
"Thank you, Messalina."
"Your Highness, there is no need to thank me. It is my honor." "What else do you like, Your Highness?" Messalina continued to ask.
Long Siqi remained silent because she had seen through her thoughts and knew what she wanted to ask.
Because Venus and Medusa were nearby, Messalina hesitated to speak.
Venus smiled calmly and remained silent. Since she had obtained Long Siqi's divine essence, she could actually sense some changes in her emotions. Although this feeling was very weak, she already knew that Long Siqi had seven emotions and six desires.
Venus's temperament and way of doing things are similar to Chang Jiao in many ways. She is gentle, kind, considerate, and has a high emotional intelligence. However, she can't help but admire Long Siqi. In her heart, the love between the gods is eternal and does not cross the line.
Long Siqi could clearly see his thoughts, and she felt helpless. Although she knew that the gods and humans had different paths and it was difficult to have a good result. But for some reason, in the two time and space, she felt a resonance in her heart for Zu Xi, and her soul was deeply touched by him, which made her feel an irresistible liking for Zu Xi. In fact, when she saw Zu Xi smiling at her tenderly without reservation in the Princess Palace that day, she couldn't help but have some wonderful fantasies.
Is this what it feels like to be in love? I want to see her, protect her, make her happy, and even have physical contact with her.
"What are you thinking about, Your Highness?" Messalina asked softly.
"Nothing." Long Siqi immediately calmed down.
Venus has noticed that Long Siqi has a crush on Wang Zuqi, however, she does not mind it because Zuqi is a mortal with a very short lifespan. For the gods, just a few decades is just a blink of an eye.
She asked gently, "Does the Lord want to go back to the Wanhua Palace to take a look?"
Long Siqi looked at Venus and felt a little surprised that she could guess what was in her mind.
"Don't go, or you can take me with you. I have never been to China." Messalina beside him said hurriedly.
"Messalina, you are already the emperor of Rome. Now all industries need to be developed and the country needs to be rectified urgently." Long Siqi said.
"Messalina, since the God has agreed, she will definitely come back. I will be waiting here." Venus looked at Messalina.
Messalina nodded reluctantly, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
Long Siqi nodded and smiled at Venus. At this moment, silence was more powerful than words. She turned around and disappeared from where she was.
"Your Highness..." Messalina suddenly felt her arms empty and felt a little lost.
……
When they returned to Wanhua Palace, it was already the next afternoon. Everyone was avoiding the cold in Xiaoyao Palace when Long Siqi suddenly appeared in the hall.
"Sister!..." The three of them called out in unison.
Yingying and Nefertina came forward and hugged her tightly.
Zu Qi stood up and gazed at her affectionately, still as reserved and shy as before.
Long Siqi smiled gently at Zu Xi.
"Where is Sister Changjiao?" Yingying asked with concern.
"She and Bai Zhan went to look for thousand-year-old lotus roots." Long Siqi took the tea handed to her by Yingying, took a sip carefully, and told the story of Rome.
