In the land of Chu, when gamblers have no way out, they will seek opportunities to gamble with the owner of a gambling establishment.

Because the owner is often the richest person in the establishment, and the richest person is the most courageous in gambling.

Nowadays, the most confident person in the world is King Qin Ying Zheng.

Naturally, he dares to spare my life.

So, from that day on, I, Lu Sheng, became a sorcerer under King Qin's command.

In name, it was to help him seek the elixir of immortality, but in reality, it was to secretly find a way to treat Lady Xu's sword injuries.

He even generously granted me an official position.

Meanwhile, in the distant land of Yan, Crown Prince Dan, who orchestrated everything behind the scenes, quickly faced the overwhelming might of the Qin army.

The Qin army was unstoppable and swiftly captured the capital city of Yan, Jicheng.

Ironically, the severed head of the prince, who had risked everything to safeguard the country, was personally delivered by his own father to Xianyang.

With this, five out of the seven kingdoms in the world had fallen.

Only the state of Qi, which was not far away, sent a grand convoy bearing tribute, bowing down to seek peace with King Qin.

King Qin, full of confidence and arrogance, accepted the tribute from the state of Qi and held a grand banquet in the Qin palace.

As his newly appointed scholar, I also had a place at the feast.

After three rounds of wine, hidden behind the courtiers, I watched as the Qi envoy was mocked by King Qin, like a clown.

Yet, in a corner unnoticed by anyone, I was tormented with great pain.

Perhaps due to the wine, they no longer seemed human in my eyes.

I felt like a famished ghost who had suffered from hunger for many days, suddenly thrown into a delicious feast.

Watching them dance and revel.

I could hardly suppress the urge to pounce on them and devour.

Hungry.

I was truly famished.

I abruptly stood up from the seat.

Attracting the attention of many people around me.

And the eyes of King Qin, seated at the head, swept across the crowd and landed on me.
