Zhao Fu took Little Sha and used the teleportation channel. Their bodies once again blurred and after doing this a few times, and they finally appeared at the Great Qin Town’s teleportation channel.

The soldiers standing guard were surprised to see that Zhao Fu had returned and paid their respects as they cried out, “Your Majesty!”

Zhao Fu nodded as he walked out of the teleportation channel. News of Zhao Fu’s return spread like the ripples from a boulder hitting the water of a still lake. Very soon, all of Great Qin became incredibly lively, and many of the upper-level figures hurried over.

After walking out of the teleportation channel, Zhao Fu felt that there was something strange about the atmosphere of the Great Qin Town. It seemed to be quite oppressive and tense, causing Zhao Fu to frown.

Zhao Fu lowered his head and patted his clothes, waking the three sleeping Flower Spirits. After waking up, the three Flower Spirits made their way out of Zhao Fu’s clothes and curiously looked around. They found that it was just as Zhao Fu had described, with flowers all over the place. This place also had a strange attraction to them, so they quite liked Great Qin. They started to fly about and look around. Seeing this, Zhao Fu smiled.

“Your Majesty!” At that moment, Bai Qi and a group of people came to the teleportation channel. When they saw that Zhao Fu had arrived, they all cried out with joy.

Zhao Fu looked at the group of people walking towards him, a few unfamiliar faces within the group. Following this, they went to the Town Hall, where Zhao Fu sat in the main seat and listened to Bai Qi and Li Si’s reports. After all, much had happened while he hadn't been in the Great Qin Town.

After listening to all of the reports, Zhao Fu didn’t say anything and just sat there, sinking into his own thoughts. The people below waited nervously, and the hall was incredibly quiet as no one dared to make a sound.

Imperial rule? A militaristic state? From the current situation, this indeed quite suited Great Qin, and it could allow Great Qin to rapidly develop. While Zhao Fu hadn’t been present, Great Qin’s growth had simply been shocking.

The area of Great Qin’s territory had greatly expanded, and the surrounding 400-kilometer radius area was now within Great Qin’s control. Moreover, Great Qin’s population had reached 100,000 with 20,000 soldiers, and its strength had greatly increased.

This made it so that Zhao Fu couldn’t oppose the imperial rule of Great Qin. Moreover, this was bound to happen sooner or later, as Zhao Fu’s empire was Great Qin, not just any normal empire.

However, Zhao Fu was troubled as to whether he should indeed turn Great Qin into a fully militaristic state. The benefits were that it resulted in great growth and suited Great Qin’s current state, and this was the most rational decision. However, Zhao Fu’s dream wasn’t to turn Great Qin into a powerful, cold killing machine. The oppressive and tense atmosphere in the Great Qin Town had made him quite uncomfortable.

Zhao Fu wanted to turn Great Qin into a place filled with all sorts of emotions; a place that was filled with laughter. He wanted it to become a place where people could feel bliss and security – this was the ideal state for a nation, as opposed to being a cold killing machine.

Right now, Zhao Fu’s ideal vision for Great Qin stood in opposition to the rational choice!

The rational choice was often the most realistic choice, and it allowed one to do what was possible in one’s circumstances. The ideal state was more like a dream, and even though it was quite beautiful, it wouldn’t always be achievable. Both choices had their advantages and disadvantages!
