Protagonist:
Xuan Ge
"Ah~~"
Fei Xiao slumped in the chair, letting out a long sigh, her fox tail giving a listless flick behind her.
Hua raised her eyes to glance at her, a shallow smile hanging at the corner of her mouth, picked up the teapot and filled the cup before her to the brim.
"Fei Xiao, could it be you're anxious?"
"Ah~~" Fei Xiao sighed again, this time even her ears drooped halfway down.
She felt she had already become a little fox forgotten by her Master.
Pinocchio was such a huge commotion, yet Master played crazy with Jing Yuan and Silver Wolf the whole time, not even sending her a single message.
She felt she was going to turn into a mysterious great-victory woman.
"If only I'd interacted more with Consort Li, who could've guessed she had so many schemes." Fei
Xiao lifted the teacup and downed a mouthful, the tea swirling a circle in her mouth before she swallowed it down.
Who could've guessed Big Li Hua not only snuck eats in Pinocchio, but also brought a Black Swan, and even dragged Huang Quan into it — treating Xuan Ge, and giving Xuan Ge....
She didn't dare think further, but her fox tail had already unconsciously curled into a question mark.
"It's been nearly four days. Xuan Ge still hasn't come out; he might as well have died on a woman's belly."
Hua's words were scathing, but her heart had already started drumming.
Would her own three-day-three-night record be surpassed?
"Exactly!"
Fei Xiao was goaded by Hua's words, her emotions surging up instantly, both angry and aggrieved, her eye rims faintly reddening.
"Master really, the progress is too fast! As his disciple I still haven't gotten to eat!"
Hua reached out, lightly stroking Fei Xiao's head to soothe her: "Alright~~ Star Sky Martial Arts is your place to shine. Afterwards, you'll get your wish."
She paused, withdrew her hand, lifted her own teacup, and gently blew a breath across the rim.
Hua changed the subject, her tone suddenly turning ethereal: "Just wonder~~ whether Xuan Ge's stamina can all be left behind."
"Although his physique is very strong, squandering it so recklessly...."
Words left unfinished.
She watched Fei Xiao's fox ears prick straight up with a *whoosh*, and knew the fish had bitten.
"No!" Fei Xiao sprang to her feet.
"Master, as the Xianzhou Emperor, must not be bewitched by beauty! I won't let Master leave the infamy of a lustful emperor!"
Her gaze was serious as if she were about to execute a military order.
Hua immediately reached out and grabbed her wrist: "You mustn't, Fei Xiao."
"Consort Hua, please don't stop me." Fei Xiao tried to break free.
"Fei Xiao, what if they really are treating and eradicating the Void?"
"If you barge in like this...."
Hua's voice was unhurried, placing this sentence squarely before Fei Xiao, leaving a huge blank.
Fei Xiao's movement froze.
She slowly sat back down.
What if Master really is doing proper business?
What if I kick the door open and shatter the balance, and Master gets contaminated by the Void again, all previous efforts wasted — what then?
Fei Xiao bit her thumb, steam visibly rising from the top of her head.
Hua smiled, watching the visible steam atop this white-haired little fox's head, and leisurely added a line:
"We'll know if we go see. After all, seeing is believing."
Fei Xiao jerked her head up to look at her: "Right! I'll go check, just ask Consort Ling."
"Together." Hua also stood up.
Fei Xiao instantly went on guard.
She tilted her head, scanning Hua up and down: "What are you going for?"
"Don't call me Marshal anymore?" Hua chuckled lightly, "I'm going to find you an ally."
"Ally? I don't need one." Fei Xiao lifted her chin slightly.
Master, she wants to monopolize.
"You're looking for Ling Sha — are you using your General identity? Or your identity as Xuan Ge's disciple?" Hua pinpointed the crux.
Fei Xiao's ears twitched.
In this special time:
If she goes to find Ling Sha as General, Ling Sha will handle it as official business, a whole set of procedures later, she won't even get through the Backyard door.
If she goes as a disciple, Ling Sha will respond as a master's wife, gently and properly blocking her back, and she still won't see Xuan Ge.
"You mean...." Fei Xiao's mind turned a circle, brows slowly knitting, "Han Yuan Jun?"
"Right. After all, she's even more anxious than you." Hua crossed her arms, a hint of subtle sourness in her smile.
Thinking of how this woman rushed back to her clan right after Xuan Huang ascended, directly merging all Xianzhou Ming Xuan together just to shake off affairs and come to Shen Wu, Hua got annoyed.
When I was Marshal, which time wasn't I carefully maintaining the relationship between the Ming clan and Xianzhou?
Terrified that the slightest instability would shatter the affection between both sides.
As for Xuan Ge, he had it easy — the war hasn't even started yet, and the Mingren Clan has already initiated surrender.
"That won't do!" Fei Xiao refused outright, "First come, first served! She's a Dragon Venerable and yet she gave birth...."
"Can't give birth?" A cold, crisp voice cut in from the side, cutting off Fei Xiao's words, "Wouldn't that save Xuan Ge the trouble?"
Han Yuan Jun stood at the doorway, cold eyes sweeping across Fei Xiao's face.
"Also, Fei Xiao — you're the challenger."
Hua's eyelid twitched; she hadn't expected Han Yuan Jun to arrive at this time.
"The Mingren Clan's matters are all resolved. Tao Ran and his lot, all sent to the Scale-Shedding Reincarnation."
Han Yuan Jun looked at Hua, tone still cold, but her words carried the meaning of a report.
Fei Xiao gritted her teeth, looking at this Han Yuan Jun putting on a cold, high-and-mighty big-sister act, and let out an extremely low, disgruntled hum from her throat.
Han Yuan Jun shifted her gaze back to Fei Xiao's face, looking at this little fox with an expression like she wanted to tear into her, and spoke blandly:
"General Fei Xiao, I came here not to quarrel with you."
".... Oh?" Fei Xiao froze for a moment, tilting her head to look at her.
The three fell silent simultaneously.
In the silence, three figures walked out of this courtyard together, footsteps unspokenly turning toward the same direction. The direction of the Shen Wu Xian Zhou.
Inside the Xuan Huang Hou Gong of the Shen Wu Xian Zhou.
"Ah~~ this really... this really..."
Huang Quan's body arched forward, waist bent, legs closed, calves spread with feet propped up.
"Wasn't this your idea?"
Xuan Ge held Huang Quan with both hands.
"I wasn't... I am... I..."
Huang Quan bit her lip, shook her head slightly, but because of the vibration Xuan Ge brought, she nodded again.
Xuan Ge released his left hand, Huang Quan nearly couldn't stand steady, tiptoeing and trembling nonstop, as if about to collapse.
Xuan Ge immediately the remaining hand gripping Huang Quan's wrist.
Let her hand back behind her body.
"Is this my Nothingness?" Xuan Ge stopped moving, looking at the black Nothingness mud condensed at his fingertip.
Huang Quan straightened up, maintaining a bent-waist standing posture.
Xuan Ge took the opportunity to open the other hand.
And Huang Quan's arms reached back around Xuan Ge's neck, looking at him sideways.
"Ah~ very dangerous, you used Harmony's power to make this power concrete."
"I don't like Nothingness, I want to deny Him." Xuan Ge's abdomen stopped moving, looking at Nothingness with disgust.
One's own Nothingness denying one's own effort, it silently waits for one to fail, fall into Nothingness, let one's past become blank.
Huang Quan gave him a spoiled complaint look: "Must you say such serious things right now?"
Xuan Ge brought that black mud to Huang Quan's mouth and smiled: "From the start until now we've always been very serious, haven't we?"
"You....!"
Xuan Ge looked at Huang Quan finally revealing a broken expression under his effort, and spoke:
"The so-called First Beneath the Gods, is nothing but a piece of human trash."
"What exactly do you want to say?"
She didn't understand why on this matter, Xuan Ge suddenly scolded her.
"What I want to say is, those versions of me you saw, are correct."
Xuan Ge pinched Huang Quan's chin, feeding the Nothingness black mud into her mouth.
The other hand pressed on Huang Quan's lower abdomen.
Huang Quan: "!!!"
"Mmph~ no~" Huang Quan wanted to struggle, but Xuan Ge's Cause Power had already enveloped her, she now had not any strength!
And she wants to....!!
