Hu Ji became the wife of the King of Qin.

This matter was not considered secretive in the state of Qin. It was even one of the remarkable achievements that led to the downfall of the Chu Kingdom. The commoners in the inns of Xianyang could vividly describe the scene when the princess of Chu entered the city.

As for me, who learned about this matter, I was holding a wooden box containing Fan Yuqi's head, following behind Jing Ke, walking within the heavily guarded Qin palace.

Looking at the guards on both sides of the palace path, standing ten steps apart, wearing armor and holding long spears, my face remained calm, but my heart was in turmoil.

Rescuing someone from the strong military guards of the number one power in the world seemed like a joke.

Aside from that, whenever my gaze swept across the soldiers and revealed a glimpse of their necks above their armor, I couldn't help but pause for a moment.

I don't know when it started, perhaps it was during the journey to Qin, but every time I saw a living person, I felt an increasingly strong impulse.

It was hunger.

At this moment, even though I had completely deciphered the scroll left by Wu, practicing daily breathing exercises, and hardly needing to eat grains, I would feel an incredible hunger when I saw a living person.

Although Wu had also extended his lifespan by eating humans in his pursuit of immortality, such effects were not recorded in the techniques he left behind.

Therefore, the inexplicable hunger that arose had only one reason.

I looked at my right hand tightly holding the securely wrapped wooden box.

My heart was heavy.
