Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

By the railing on a Pinocchio street, Xuan Ge, Yin Lang, and Jing Yuan leaned side by side, chins uniformly pointed toward the opposite side of the street.

Wei Zhenghe was negotiating with the Pinocchio branch family about the commotion just now.

Yin Lang stuck out her pink little tongue, licking the chocolate ice cream in her hand lick by lick, her bright sparkling eyes looking at Jing Yuan, then at Xuan Ge.

"Where are we going to play next——"

Xuan Ge's gaze fell on the corner of her mouth, where a bit of black was smudged.

He raised his hand and used his thumb to wipe it away for her, asking casually: "What, not going to finish your script?"

Yin Lang subconsciously tilted her head, the tip of her tongue licking the spot Xuan Ge had just wiped——a faint trace of chocolate flavor still lingered there.

She waved her hand, tone very casual: "What's there to fear, with Hua Huo here, Liu Ying won't get lost."

Xuan Ge thought for a moment, his brow twitching imperceptibly: "Hua Huo?"

"Yeah——thanks to His Majesty still remembering her."

Yin Lang bit off a big mouthful of ice cream, teasing muffledly: "Hua Huo came to us on her own, demanding unpaid labor, only asking that Consort Fu Fei and Consort Firefly have Xuan Huang revoke the warrant."

"Is that so," Xuan Ge laughed, gaze returning to Yin Lang, "Then why doesn't she come tell me herself?"

"What else could it be, afraid of triggering a Defeat CG." Yin Lang glanced sideways at this universe's big villain beside her.

Jing Yuan suddenly laughed "haha" from the side: "This isn't playing a game, and besides Hua Huo she——"

Halfway through laughing, Fu Xuan's face suddenly flashed through his mind.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

Don't say it, you really mustn't say it. Xuan Ge really could do it.

Xuan Ge saw through what was turning in Jing Yuan's mind at a glance, giving him a sidelong glance: "What are you thinking, Fu Xuan is still young, wait until she grows up a bit more."

"Hehe——I don't believe it." Jing Yuan shrugged.

"Am I that bad?" Xuan Ge bumped Jing Yuan with his elbow.

In his peripheral vision, Liu Ying was waving at him.

He tossed the ice cream stick into the trash can and walked over.

Yin Lang held the ice cream spoon in her mouth, her gaze following Xuan Ge's retreating figure for a few seconds, then silently scooped another big mouthful.

"Your Maje——mmph——" Liu Ying rushed forward a few steps, so excited she nearly shouted "Your Majesty," luckily she reacted fast and immediately covered her own mouth with both hands.

"I didn't mean to——"

Xuan Ge looked at her like this, reached out and gently rubbed her earlobe: "What's there to it, call me whatever you want."

"Mhm mhm." Liu Ying's ears flushed slightly, reached out and took Xuan Ge's palm, "Xing is still waiting for us."

"Let's go." Xuan Ge turned his hand and held hers.

The two crossed the street and entered Aiden Park.

From afar they could see Xing lying prone in front of a Gashapon machine, practically pressing her face against the glass.

"Come quick come quick, Xuan Ge!" Xing waved the moment she saw the two of them.

Xuan Ge approached, Xing spread three coins in her palm before him, chin jutting toward the Gashapon: "How about it, want to try? Three tries, let's see your luck."

"Two is enough." Xuan Ge's right hand picked two coins from her palm, looked up and scanned the prize column.

The grand prize was a limited edition collaboration small animal pendant, colors varying, a tiny thing, just right for hanging on a phone.

He fed the coins into the machine, the huge Gashapon rumbled and turned.

After only a few turns, two capsules rolled out one after another.

"Ah? Grand prize just like that? And back-to-back?"

Xing stared wide-eyed as Xuan Ge pried open the capsules, inside revealing a grand prize gift exchange voucher, the faith in her throat nearly unable to hold.

"Sir, this is your prize." The person in charge at the side was already standing respectfully, both hands holding a display box, inside arranged full of small animal pendants of various colors.

He glanced at Xuan Ge's Thunder Purple short-sleeve gear, then combined with appearance——no mistake, Robin had specifically instructed, this is Xuan Huang His Majesty.

"For you two, pick whatever." Xuan Ge lifted his chin toward the display box.

Xing looked down, gaze sweeping, directly picked up a gray Little Raccoon from inside, without a second word hung it on her phone case, shook it, nodded satisfied.

Liu Ying picked much more carefully.

She looked at them one by one, fair fingertips hovering over the pendants for several seconds, finally gently settling on a white cartoon cat.

She took the pendant, lowered her head and tied it on her Hand Chain, turned her wrist, the white little cat swaying gently.

Far away, a small alley entrance.

Hua Huo poked out half a head, looked left and right in a circle, not a single Shen Wu Imperial Guard shadow in sight.

She pulled her head back, steadied her breath, only then turned her gaze back to the water bar.

Three people were gathered there buying water. Liu Ying handed her own cup to Xuan Ge to drink a sip, Xing also handed hers over.

Hua Huo bit her thumb nail, why is Xuan Ge here? With him standing there, how can this script move forward?

Her brain overclocked, starting to frantically think of ways to send Xuan Ge away.

The next second, she saw Xuan Ge take the two cups of water, drink a sip from each.

Hua Huo's inspiration snapped with a pop.

Xuan Ge is a married man, is Emperor, but first, he is a man.

Woman chases man separated by a layer of gauze, man chases woman separated by a mountain.

She, Lady Hua Huo, has no other talents, but her appearance is also top-tier.

Just a bit small.

The corners of her mouth slowly curled up, a bold plan forming frame by frame in her mind.

It just so happens Xuan Ge hasn't withdrawn her wanted poster yet — she also doesn't want to be the Shen Wu Corps' off-duty entertainment anymore.

At first there was amusement, but now all the amusement is on the Shen Wu Corps' side; wherever she goes she's only blocked, never caught, practically a free-range experience pack.

Think it, do it.

Hua Huo took a deep breath, dashed out of the alley at a light jog, her voice drawing out an eighteen-bend tail:

"Xuan Ge Ge— I miss you so much—"

Liu Ying's ears perked up, she violently turned her head, and saw a black-haired twin-tailed girl pouncing over with a smile.

Hua Huo rushed up close, just about to reach out and hug Xuan Ge's arm acting spoiled, when a dangerous aura climbed up her spine.

Her movement froze mid-air, both arms stiff in place.

Liu Ying had already taken out the Transformation Device.

Hua Huo smiled embarrassedly, hands slowly shrinking back, voice also turning honest: "So fierce, what for— I'm here to surrender."

Xing, holding a straw in her mouth, curiously looked her over: "Surrender to the relevant authorities, what are you doing surrendering to Xuan Ge?"

Hua Huo turned her face away, tongue tip lightly licking her index fingertip, then immediately swiped across her cheek, two glistening tear tracks appearing out of thin air.

She turned back, looking at Xuan Ge with a tearful, about-to-cry expression:

"Xuan Ge, you did such excessive things to me, let a group of people take turns messing with me — this little body of Hua Huo's can't take it—"

Xing curiously pressed: "What thing uses a group of people taking turns to do?"

"Nothing." Xuan Ge hurriedly cut in to stop the topic, if he let Hua Huo keep improvising the concept would be distorted to the ninth heaven.

"Didn't she say she came to me to surrender, of course it's being hunted."

"Oh oh—" Xing nodded thoughtfully, kept sipping her drink, watching how Hua Huo would perform next.

Xuan Ge lowered his eyelids looking at Hua Huo.

He of course knows her purpose. High probability she wants to continue pushing the Stellaron Hunter Script, but with him standing here, she has no plan at all.

"Liu Ying, you and Xing go play first." Xuan Ge tilted his head and instructed, gaze falling back on Hua Huo's face.

Liu Ying stood up, put away the Transformation Device, took Xing's hand: "Mhm mhm— then you come find me quick—"

Xing was pulled toward the park depths, still not forgetting to turn back and glance twice more at Xuan Ge and Hua Huo's direction.

Hua Huo watched Liu Ying and Xing walk far, hadn't even relaxed, when she felt Xuan Ge's gaze already land on her again.

Her back turned slightly cold.
