Protagonist:
Xuan Ge
Inside the Discussion Hall of the Shen Wei Jiang Jun Fu, Black Tower Lady wore a black-purple ruqun in Divine Martial Immortal Prefecture style, its hem embroidered with fine silver patterns, lending her an added touch of elegance.
The corners of her mouth curled slightly, a hint of cunning lurking in her eyes, as she discreetly pressed a small device in her hand.
It was a voice-distorting device she had specially made for Xuan Ge.
"*Profanity* Xuan Ge, the super-compression space device you wanted is ready."
The device activated, Black Tower Lady's voice mixed with muffled static, sounding as if certain words had been deliberately censored.
But the smugness in her eyes could not be hidden.
This device was her way of getting revenge on Xuan Ge—who had dared to mock her small chest and look down on her figure!
"Hmm?" Xuan Ge raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Black Tower Lady with mild confusion, stunned for two seconds, then a flash of laughter crossed his eyes.
His karma was ever upon him; the muffled static posed no difficulty at all, and he clearly heard Black Tower Lady's unblocked words:
"Arrogant, shallow, illiterate Xuan Ge, the super-compression space device you wanted is ready."
"Black Tower Lady, what did you say?" Xuan Ge drew an almost imperceptible arc at the corner of his mouth, amusement lurking in his eyes.
Since Black Tower Lady wanted to play, he would play along, pretending not to have heard clearly, to see what other tricks she could pull.
Seeing Xuan Ge's confused expression, Black Tower Lady thought he had truly been fooled by the voice-distorting device and hadn't realized she was insulting him, and grew even more smug, continuing:
"I said, *profanity*, the super-compression space device you wanted is ready, and its range, according to your *profanity* request, has been expanded to half a Xing Xi. But due to mass and energy constraints, it can only be used once."
As she spoke, she secretly observed Xuan Ge's expression, secretly delighted, feeling she had finally vented her resentment.
Ruan Mei sat beside Black Tower Lady, watching her smug look, and shook her head helplessly.
Though Black Tower Lady was sharp-tongued, she bore no real malice in her heart.
Staying up late to make this voice-distorting device was nothing more than pique against Xuan Ge, venting the resentment from being mocked.
But how could Xuan Ge's power truly fail to hear it?
Ruan Mei watched the amusement in Xuan Ge's eyes and secretly thought Black Tower Lady was likely to "lift a stone only to drop it on her own foot."
Xuan Ge listened to Black Tower Lady's words, one after another, low in harm but rather childish.
Xuan Ge not only did not get angry, but found it rather funny.
Let her curse if she wants; though Black Tower Lady is hard-mouthed, she genuinely contributes to Shen Wu Xian Zhou, having produced the super-compression space device—this intention, he saw clearly.
So Xuan Ge simply retorted twice, then changed the topic, politely praising:
"Black Tower Lady, if the Pure Beauty Star God still exists, you would surely be a certain Pure Beauty Envoy.
This super-compression space device is crucial to Shen Wu Xian Zhou; your merit is undeniable.
If Black Tower Lady has any requests in the future, you may come to me at any time; as long as I can do it, I will not refuse."
Hearing the words "Pure Beauty Envoy," Black Tower Lady's eyes lit up instantly, and joy surged in her heart.
After all, this was praise spoken from Xuan Ge's own mouth—who was Xuan Ge?
A famous "madman" of the Hunt path, with extremely high standards, never lightly praising others.
His recognition was comparable to a universally acknowledged fact across the Huan Yu. Even more stirring was that Xuan Ge actually called her "little cutie"!
The previous resentment vanished instantly; Black Tower Lady's mouth corners rose uncontrollably, unable to suppress the pride in her heart, and she said repeatedly:
"Naturally! Who do you think I am? In this Huan Yu, besides me, who else is a certain beauty?"
Standing below the stage, Dan Shu glanced at Black Tower Lady and then at the general, a flash of confusion in her eyes.
Deeply taught by Ling Sha and quite familiar with Shen Wu Xian Zhou's culture, she felt that Xuan Ge's "certain" seemed like affirmation, but combined with the context, she always felt something was off;
and the term "little cutie," applied to Black Tower Lady, seemed more like teasing than sincere praise.
After being smug for a moment, Black Tower Lady finally composed herself, her tone turning serious as she looked directly at Xuan Ge:
"Xuan Ge, I must remind you: once the super-compression space device is activated, it can never be stopped.
If you are preparing for war against the Abundance Alliance Army, I can also prepare a Virtual Number Pulse Cannon for you.
As long as Shen Wu Xian Zhou's energy is sufficient, this cannon can continuously output power, enough to deal a heavy blow to the Abundance Alliance Army's main force!"
"Black Tower Lady, I appreciate your kindness." Xuan Ge shook his head lightly, interrupting Black Tower Lady's words.
"It's just that this war has nothing to do with firepower."
Black Tower Lady was stunned for a moment, then stood up, her tone carrying some confusion and indignation:
"Xuan Ge, do you have a problem?"
"You only think about your own so-called 'bottom line,' completely disregarding your Shen Wu Army under your command?"
"Once the super-compression space device activates, that terrifying spatial pressure can instantly crush people into mincemeat!"
"Even you Xian Zhou celestials, even the elite Shen Wu Army, would find it hard to withstand!"
"You're playing with their lives!"
Black Tower Lady was so agitated not out of simple pique, but because she genuinely cared for the Shen Wu Army's safety.
Though she usually loved to boast against Xuan Ge and was stopped by the Shen Wu Army every day,
those officers always treated her with courtesy.
Not because of her Genius Club membership, nor because of her abilities, but as they would treat Shen Wu meritorious officials.
Polite but not fawning, plain but sincere.
During these days in Shen Wu Xian Zhou, these were the days she lived most freely and without constraint in the Huan Yu.
She actually had some feelings in her heart, already regarding Shen Wu Xian Zhou as her "safe harbor."
Xuan Ge didn't expect Hei Ta to react this strongly, then smiled and explained:
"Won't happen, you're overthinking it."
Xuan Ge's tone was calm, yet carried an inexplicable soothing power.
"Won't happen?" Hei Ta frowned tightly, looking at Xuan Ge in confusion, her brain spinning rapidly, trying to fathom the deep meaning behind Xuan Ge's words.
"Because General you want to give your power...." Ruan Mei spoke up first, saying softly, her tone carrying a hint of uncertainty.
She vaguely guessed Xuan Ge's thoughts, but didn't finish speaking.
After all, that was too perilous, and she also didn't dare confirm Xuan Ge would really make such a decision.
"Xuan Ge, you want to give your power to the Shen Wu Corps? Hehe!"
Following Ruan Mei's train of thought, Hei Ta instantly understood, then was angered into laughter.
Hei Ta's tone turned sharp, "You truly live up to being a madman! Giving power to your Five Generals is one thing.
But how many people are in the Shen Wu Corps? If you really do this, you'll die! Don't you know that!"
"Hei Ta~" Seeing Hei Ta's emotions growing increasingly agitated, Ruan Mei hurried forward, lightly pulling her wrist, soothing in a low voice.
"Don't get worked up, listen to the General finish speaking first, perhaps the General has another way."
Hei Ta's momentum weakened slightly, but the anger in her eyes still hadn't dissipated, she shook off Ruan Mei's hand, tone still carrying displeasure:
"Ruan Mei, don't mind me! Today I'm going to argue him to death!"
"General...." Ling Sha at the side, her complexion had already turned pale, she looked at Xuan Ge, did not rebut Hei Ta's words.
Her heart instantly sank to the bottom, filled entirely with panic.
The General.... once he makes a decision, no one can change it, even if the Xianzhou Marshal personally arrives, they cannot shake his resolve.
At this moment, her identity as Chief Strategist and her identity as a lover, were fiercely tearing at each other in her heart.
As Chief Strategist, she must consider the safety of Shen Wu Xian Zhou, perhaps the General's approach is indeed the optimal solution;
But as a lover, she aches for Xuan Ge, knowing everything he does is for the Shen Wu Corps, for the great victory.
This sense of tearing apart, makes her unbearably pained.
Ling Sha's gaze became frail beyond measure, staring fixedly at Xuan Ge, her eyes full of pleading, hoping he could give a guarantee that wouldn't harm himself.
Xuan Ge looked at the agitated Hei Ta before him, the worried Ruan Mei, and the Ling Sha whose eyes were full of pleading, knowing he could no longer conceal things.
If he didn't make things clear any longer, it would only make them worry more, even affect the deployment of the great battle.
He slowly spoke, tone calm yet carrying undeniable force:
"The Abundance Alliance's troop strength this time is unprecedented, far exceeding our estimates, and their core objective has never been Shen Wu Xian Zhou, but me."
Finished speaking, Xuan Ge slowly raised his head, hands behind back, looked up, as if he had already seen the smoke of the battlefield.
Xuan Ge's lips hooked a confident composed smile, voice not loud, yet clearly entering everyone's ears, carrying the certainty of victory:
"This battle, will be won."
