Chapter 5: Jealous Gu Yuena, I Won't Talk Back

Behind the throne.

Bibi Dong pressed against Wei Zhangfeng's back.

Watching the entire time as Wei Zhangfeng reviewed the memorials.

Suddenly, she smiled charmingly, a playful expression blooming on her face, and she couldn't help but tease:

"Your Majesty, are you actually willing to approve my original application? Didn't you always put the common people first, often saying that a place like the Inner Palace just needs to be habitable?"

Hearing this, Wei Zhangfeng's face darkened.

He sat up straight, instantly projecting an air of majesty.

"The Inner Palace is also a part of the Imperial Palace. In the past, I neglected it, but now that I have considered this matter, I should naturally put more effort into it."

Wei Zhangfeng said in a deep voice: "Since you submitted this memorial and proposed such a suggestion, then after I approve it, you shall be the person primarily in charge!"

"Remember, the Inner Palace is not to be trifled with; you must do your utmost to renovate the Inner Palace to a sufficient standard as soon as possible!"

Bibi Dong met Wei Zhangfeng's feigned majesty, covering her mouth and giggling incessantly: "Your Majesty, is that really so? Are you sure you want me to be in charge of this matter?"

The darkness on Wei Zhangfeng's face deepened; he glared at Bibi Dong in annoyance and coughed dryly:

"My word is law!"

"Since I have specifically named you to handle this matter, you shall handle it well!"

"If you cannot manage this matter properly, I will certainly punish you severely in the future!"

Bibi Dong was all smiles.

She was not at all afraid of Wei Zhangfeng's feigned majesty.

Until Wei Zhangfeng had finished saying everything he had to say, she smiled and said: "Since Your Majesty values the Inner Palace so much, this concubine will certainly not let Your Majesty down!"

"If this concubine truly fails to handle this matter well, then Your Majesty may punish me to your heart's content in the future!"

As she spoke, a look of anticipation couldn't help but appear on Bibi Dong's face.

In a trance, she seemed to be looking forward to being punished.

Wei Zhangfeng saw all of this, with many black lines on his forehead, knowing the true intention behind Bibi Dong's expression, and said irritably:

"As for the punishment, I naturally have my own arrangements!"

"Regarding the many matters of the Inner Palace, we shall decide after the renovations!"

"Bibi Dong, you are showing such an expression now—do you intend to defy the heavens and overturn the earth?!"

Bibi Dong remained smiling.

After chuckling a few times, she stopped while she was ahead.

"This concubine knows; I will handle the renovation of the Inner Palace well and guarantee that I will not disappoint Your Majesty!"

"After the renovations are finished, I will surely give Your Majesty a big surprise! To use a phrase Your Majesty likes to keep on your lips, the Inner Palace at that time will surely be able to—"

"Soar to the clouds and enjoy the smoothness!"

Having teased to this point.

Bibi Dong walked out of the Main Hall, feeling satisfied.

She had stolen a treat and had a good exchange with Wei Zhangfeng.

Next, she had to follow the arrangements Wei Zhangfeng had made to supervise the renovation of the Inner Palace.

Bibi Dong still had a very good grasp of the scale of this matter.

Wei Zhangfeng sat upright on the throne.

It was not until long after Bibi Dong had left that his expression finally became solemn again.

After a long while, he condensed his soul power into a line: "Na'er, come see me at once!"

A moment later.

A woman clad in bright silver armor strode in.

Her long, supple silver hair draped behind her, possessing a texture like silver crystal.

Beneath her peerless face, her purple eyes shone with an eerie luster, and she always carried a cold air about her.

As soon as she entered the Main Hall.

The temperature of the entire Main Hall seemed to drop significantly.

"Na'er, the parallel world theory has been thoroughly confirmed!"

"Just now, I spoke with Yueguan and Guimei, and the signal was not very stable!"

"You are the head of the Technology Development Bureau; put more effort into the matter of stabilizing the signal and strive to overcome this difficulty in the shortest possible time!"

"If we cannot overcome this aspect, I will be unable to command the overall situation, which may very well affect our great expedition and lead to failure at the final hurdle!"

Wei Zhangfeng looked at the icy Gu Yuena.

As he spoke, he rose from the throne and strode toward Gu Yuena.

Without waiting for any response from Gu Yuena, Wei Zhangfeng made a move to wrap his arms around Gu Yuena's shoulders from behind:

"Na'er, you must prioritize this matter and postpone all other research projects for a period of time!"

"Among all my concubines, I dote on you the most and trust you the most; I believe you will not let me down!"

Gu Yuena moved.

Before Wei Zhangfeng could wrap his arms around her fragrant shoulders.

Space power fluctuated at her side, and she appeared ten meters away from Wei Zhangfeng in an instant.

"I won't... talk back, so I can also be the person Your Majesty dotes on the most?" Gu Yuena said coldly.

Hearing this, an awkward look immediately appeared on Wei Zhangfeng's face.

Smelling the sour scent that seemed to have appeared in the Main Hall, he instantly understood what had happened.

Tsk tsk tsk—

Gu Yuena, who was always cold and frosty.

To think! To think she was jealous, and jealous to such an intense degree!

"Na'er, it is naturally true that you are the person I favor most in my heart!"

"It is precisely because I favor you the most that I have appointed you as the General Director of the Technology Development Bureau!"

"The main reason I had you come today is to discuss the matter of stabilizing the signal; how much time do you think you will need to overcome this difficulty?"

Wei Zhangfeng changed the subject.

He did not continue to dwell on the matter of jealousy.

Gu Yuena was very jealous, but seeing that Wei Zhangfeng was very concerned about the signal, she suppressed some of the unpleasant feelings in her heart:

"I had already been considering this problem before, and I have long since arranged for people to carry this matter out."

"Now that the connection with the parallel world has truly been opened, it shouldn't take long to truly overcome it."

"I will supervise this matter; since the parallel world has already been confirmed, I really want to go to the parallel world and take a look!"

"You said that in such a world, there would also be an existence of me!"

Wei Zhangfeng gave a hum of acknowledgment, listening to Gu Yuena's reply, and immediately felt much more at ease; she was indeed worthy of being the General Director of the Technology Development Bureau he had personally appointed.

Look! Look!

The parallel world theory hadn't even been completely confirmed yet!

And the matter of stabilizing the signal had already begun to be arranged!

"Fine, then you shall be responsible for this matter; tell me once there is a result!" Wei Zhangfeng said.

Gu Yuena nodded: "Then I will head back first; once the results are out, I will come to tell you!"

Leaving these words behind, Gu Yuena left the Main Hall in her own unique way.

It was completely different from the way Bibi Dong had been just a moment ago, appearing to like talking in detail.

Even after entering the Imperial Palace, Gu Yuena remained in this cold and icy manner.

Even though her heart was indeed very fiery—Wei Zhangfeng was very certain of this, and at certain times she was even very wild—she could never change her nature of liking to present herself with a cold and icy appearance.

Watching Gu Yuena leave, Wei Zhangfeng looked at the specially made small square box on the desk that resembled a tablet computer.

After pondering for a moment, his thoughts drifted toward the Parallel Douluo World.

"The parallel world theory has been confirmed; this is already a great success!"

"It's just that I don't know what time dimension the other Douluo Shijie is currently in!"

"Moreover, the vanguard is those two fellows, Jirou Yueguan and Guimei; there is no need to worry too much about that fellow Guimei."

"As for that fellow Jirou Yueguan, whose head is now full of muscles, he shouldn't cause any trouble... right?!"
