Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

Because of the Divination Disaster Omen regarding Xuan Ge that Yao Guang revealed, plus the imminent great war between the Xianzhou Alliance and the Abundance faction, all of them had gradually come to understand.

The General bears the heavy duty of protecting the Xian Zhou; right now is a time of war, so this kind of jealous rivalry and endless entanglement is indeed improper.

Moreover, not one of them is a short-lived species; they have all the time in the world to wait.

Wait until the war ends, the smoke of battle clears, and Xuan Ge has no more excuses to evade....

At that time, they will properly settle today's "account"; when that moment comes.... no one will yield, no one will follow the rules.

Ling Sha's gaze shifted, looking at Kafka beside her, and she shook her head slightly, her eyes signaling her that now is not the time for a standoff; better to restrain their thoughts for the moment and quietly await the timing.

Kafka naturally understood perfectly; she has always been sensible of the bigger picture, knowing what is important and what is urgent.

She then nodded lightly, picked up the teacup on the table, took a gentle sip, and her gaze unintentionally fell on Dahlia, a trace of realization flashing in her eyes.

She never in a million expected that the ultimate winner of today's surging-under-current asura field would turn out to be Dahlia, who from the start made a beeline for the "Great Guarantee".

Yao Guang's heart was also full of unwillingness; she originally wanted to disrupt everyone's rhythm and seize the opportunity to establish her own dominance.

But before she could even stand firm, she was completely thrown off by Jing Liu's blunt declaration "I will stay in Shen Wu", which disrupted her deployment entirely — one could even say it "killed the competition".

She subconsciously glanced at Dahlia not far away....

Only to see the latter with her head lowered, cheeks flushed with an abnormal red, calves slightly parted and secretly exerting force, inner thighs pressed tightly together, lightly rubbing....

Clearly she was doing her utmost to suppress the desire rising from the bottom of her heart....

That appearance made Yao Guang's anger flare up in all directions.

Xing Xiao remained silent, the cold aura around her having somewhat receded, yet her eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment.

She and the equally silent Huan Long both directed their gazes toward Dahlia beside them, who was desperately stifling her delicate moans.

Xing Xiao truly hated Dahlia to death right now.

That woman plays both sides and adds fuel to the fire, actively initiating team fights again and again, yet in the end she became the biggest winner — just thinking about it makes her feel stifled.

Huan Long, on the other hand, watched Dahlia with great interest, a playful light flickering in her eyes.

She had thought of ten thousand possibilities beforehand, thought Yao Guang would control the situation by relying on the Divination Disaster Omen;

Thought Jing Liu would gain the upper hand by relying on past affection;

Even thought Ling Sha would suppress everyone by virtue of her Strategist identity;

Only she never imagined this asura field would end in such a calm yet weird way.

And the final winner was actually that Dahlia who from the start took an unorthodox path and rushed straight for the "Great Guarantee".

Silent air once again enveloped the General's Hall, so quiet that Dahlia's suppressed, fragmented breathing could be clearly heard....

Every breath seemed to be announcing her victory today to everyone.

Xuan Ge sat on the General's Seat, his whole body ill at ease, wanting to say something to break this awkwardness, yet not knowing where to begin.

Although he had passed through this asura field with no harm done, except for Huan Long — who doesn't care about Xuan Ge's life or death and only hopes he dies in battle —

In the pupils of every other woman there swirled a faint pink, their gazes fixed straight on him, carrying undisguised obsession and longing.

Right now he truly regretted a little, regretted that he could pass through this crisis so "safely".

He would rather they fight it out openly and satisfyingly than have them bottling it up like this; this silent staring makes his skin crawl more than the previous pulling and quarreling.

But he cannot take the initiative.

He knows clearly that once he actively provokes any one of them, the others will definitely feel it's unfair and will all demand "Why her first?".

When that happens, the backlash triggered will only be more terrifying than them bottling it up.

Moreover, judging by their current appearances, they all seem to have tacitly accepted the rule of "fight after the war ends"; if he breaks this tacit understanding, he will only fall into an even more thorny situation.

Just as a thin sheen of sweat seeped out on Xuan Ge's forehead again and he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, the hall door was suddenly lightly knocked by the imperial guards.

The "thump thump thump" sound was like a lifesaving straw, letting Xuan Ge instantly breathe a sigh of relief; he immediately decided and said in a deep voice:

"Enter!"

Xuan Ge looked up and saw that the one entering was still the same imperial guard who had rescued him from the siege and reported news last time; his hanging heart instantly settled by more than half.

He then collected himself, assumed the steady bearing of the Divine Might General, and asked: "What matter to report?"

The imperial guard entered the hall, head bowed extremely low, not daring to look around.

He could clearly feel that the pressure inside the hall was even more intense than when he came last time, as if the air itself were about to freeze.

He stepped forward quickly, saluted with clasped fists, and said in a respectful tone:

"Reporting to the General, Zhu Ming's artisan Han Guang requests an audience with the General.

Also, the Sky-Ferry Commission has sent word that Luo Fu has already escorted the heavy criminal toward Shen Wu and will arrive in a few days."

"Han Guang...." Xuan Ge muttered this name softly, brows furrowing slightly; after pondering a moment he suddenly realized, and said with a laugh:

"Oh~ it's Old Huai's disciple, hehe~ have him wait in the Dake Tang for a moment, I'll go see him shortly."

"Yes, General." The imperial guard acknowledged the order, dared not linger, withdrew quickly, and lightly closed the hall door.

Xuan Ge looked at the tightly shut hall door, then at the women eyeing him like tigers beside him, and his gaze finally landed on Ling Sha as he tentatively asked in a careful tone:

"I still have official business to handle... you all... why don't you chat here for now?"

Ling Sha was the first to stand up, a gentle smile on her face, her tone respectful and considerate:

"Since the General has business, this concubine naturally cannot delay you; today's matter has already dragged on long enough, I should return to the Alchemy Commission to take a look and handle some trivial matters, and will come back later to accompany the General with paperwork."

At this moment Dahlia slowly raised her head, eyes half-narrowed, her gaze sticking to Xuan Ge like silk threads, her voice soft and glutinous with a few parts of allure, speaking in an ambiguous tone:

"General~ General~ I'll be waiting for you in that courtyard where you stayed last time~~~"

"Uh... hmm."

Xuan Ge looked at Da Lihua's still-flushed cheeks and the haziness in her eyes; his heart tightened inexplicably, and he faintly felt that this Da Lihua would probably not be easy to deal with today....

Before Xuan Ge could think further, he sensed the two cold auras beside him suddenly become even more piercingly cold, even overshadowing the chill surrounding Xing Xiao.

No need to guess — it was Yao Guang and Jing Liu getting jealous.

Xuan Ge dared not linger in the slightest; his figure flashed, and he vanished from the General's Hall in an instant, leaving only a hasty afterimage.

"Hmph! What a big bad...." Yao Guang looked in the direction Xuan Ge fled, subconsciously wanting to curse him roundly.

But the words reached her lips, and she recalled Xuan Ge teasing her before that her cursing sounded like acting spoiled; she could only unwillingly close her mouth, her eyes full of grievance and helplessness.

Yet Yao Guang did not sink deep into this jealousy; she knew clearly in her heart that what she sought by enduring this long was absolutely not momentary closeness, but to be able to stay by Xuan Ge's side for a long time.

Helping him cross the Divine Calamity — this resolve would absolutely not change because of a moment's jealousy.

She raised her eyes to look at Jing Liu, a trace of gravity flashing in her eyes.

She had to have a proper talk with Jing Liu; she wanted to know what matter Jing Liu was hiding that would make Xuan Ge walk that path of certain death with no return.

"Let's go, Xing Xiao, now is not the time for mingling." Huan Long slowly put down her teacup, stood up, and persuaded in a calm tone.

She planned to temporarily leave Shen Wu, no longer hindering Xuan Ge here; once the war ended and Xuan Ge had no more rear worries, she would then assist Xing Xiao with full force to completely win Xuan Ge over.

"Mm." A faint blue star ring reappeared before Xing Xiao's eyes, and she replied in a cold tone.

Though her heart held ten thousand kinds of unwillingness, she also understood clearly that she could not, because of her own obsession, disturb Xuan Ge's state of mind and affect his rhythm in dealing with the Abundance people's war.

The pink hearts in Xing Xiao's pupils were completely filled; she would guard him, and after the war ended, don't blame her for not playing by the rules anymore.....

Xuan Ge, who had successfully flashed out of the General's Mansion, leaned against the courtyard wall and let out a long breath.

He raised a hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, his face full of helplessness and a bitter smile.

He seriously suspected whether something was wrong with his peach blossom luck.

The Divine Might General wouldn't run into yanderes?

Bullshit! The Divine Might General runs into nothing but yanderes!
