บท 143: The Ministry of Waters

Over the skies of northwestern Qin, an elusive realm hid in the dense clouds that perpetually covered the lands.

This realm was the domain of the de facto ruler of the immortal and mortal world, the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor was a handsome middle-aged man with a long, well-trimmed beard, and black hair that was thicker than a lion's mane.

He was a very muscular and vigorous man, since he was one of the only Jade Immortals in Qin, though his loose and regal yellow robes concealed that musculature in a layer of scholarly demeanor.

The ruler was currently sitting in a mundane Chinese living room on a luxurious futon.

He was elegantly drinking tea from a green, jade mug.

"The floral aftertaste of the northern jade seeps into the tea, how wonderful," The Jade Emperor nodded as he sipped on his tea.

On his opposite side, a beautiful middle-aged woman also sat on a futon.
