Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"Hah~~ It hit the glass~♡"

Feicui bent at the waist, her upper body pressed completely against the glass.

Every rise and fall made her abdomen bump against the cold, smooth glass.

The pupils of her eyes had been filled with pink, the edges of her irises nearly indistinguishable.

Hot breath puffed onto the glass in gusts, fogging and clearing, clearing and fogging again.

Every time her abdomen hit it, her whole body trembled;

Every time her abdomen hit it, her fingers scratched chaotic traces across the glass, as if trying to scratch through that transparent barrier.

"Xuan Ge, General~ Emperor~~~♡"

She gripped the glass, her gaze passing through the white mist of her own breath on the glass, landing on the dark mass of spectator seats outside.

"Come out already~♡ Please♡ I'm going to... ♡ again♡——"

"Before, I listened to you. But this time, I refuse."

Xuan Ge remained unmoved, instead tightening his rhythm, not leaving her a single gap.

"Your title of address is still under consideration. Is there anything you want?"

Xuan Ge looked at Feicui's sweat-soaked back, sweat trickling down along her spinal groove, pooling into a glistening shallow hollow at the small of her back.

"Bastard——Bastard♡~ Mmmhah~~"

Feicui's lips parted, the focus of her eyes growing more and more scattered, her brain already stuffed full of flowing white hearts in every corner.

This bastard Xuan Ge!

Couldn't he wait until it was over, until she recovered, to discuss things?

Did he have to discuss serious business at a time like this?

She was pent up to an abnormal excitement, hands clawing wildly at the glass, nails scraping the smooth surface, as if scratching Xuan Ge's flesh.

Xuan Ge saw she was at her limit and decided to add one more push, to send her over.

"Match over!"

The arena broadcast boomed. Amid the cheers exploding from the spectator seats outside, Feicui also completely reached her limit.

In that wave of high-brightness sound surging like a tide.

She completely fainted away.

Xuan Ge immediately caught her in his arms.

Feicui's body still trembled faintly in his arms, even though she had already passed out, her body's reactions had not stopped.

"Hah——I've never felt so clear-headed and refreshed."

Xuan Ge chuckled, scooped Feicui up horizontally, and left the place.

Scattered clothes, water stains remaining on the floor, all were burned clean by his Destruction Power.

Even the body fragrance belonging to Feicui lingering in the room was destroyed clean.

Saved the trouble of the little fox Fei Xiao smelling it out if she came back.

Diamond sat in the VIP seats second only to Xuan Ge's, fingers drumming on the armrest for several rounds, finally unable to resist glancing at the time.

"A whole day has passed. What did Feicui go off to do?"

"Who knows."

Sha Jin was watching Bo Tiou's match against Luka, one leg crossed over the other, his gaze drifting toward the Xuan Huang viewing room for a moment.

"Feicui's probably with my brother-in-law, busy enough."

"Is Scott's matter that hard to handle?" Diamond frowned, his face taking on a hint of displeasure.

It's just turning an undercover agent, is it worth this much care?

Feicui's focus shouldn't be entirely thrown at the Market Expansion Department; she should be keeping her main eye on Xuan Ge.

That's the real reason he had her not go anywhere, just stay by Xuan Ge's side.

The sooner she gets the position, the sooner she secures the identity of Xuan Huang's consort, the more cards he'll have to wrestle with Ao Si Wa Er Duo.

Sha Jin listened to himself spell it out this far, yet Diamond still didn't understand at all, and finally turned his head to ask.

"Diamond, have you never been in love?"

"What nonsense is this? How can love be such an inconvenient thing——what use is that stuff?"

Diamond glared at him, voice lowered, momentum not reduced in the slightest.

"Also, fix your posture. I'm the boss."

Diamond looked Sha Jin up and down, he was dressed in a flashy, gaudy getup, sitting posture with no proper form.

While he himself wore a crisp suit, sitting properly and upright.

If an unknowing person saw this, they'd think he was Sha Jin's hired bodyguard.

Sha Jin ignored him, raised a hand and waved toward the distant Hong Feng Tai.

Diamond looked along the direction, his face twitching instantly.

Sha Jin's sister Yi Sha was waving at them with a smile.

He took a deep breath, pressing the anger that had rushed to his throat back down honestly.

Seeing his sister gesture at him, Sha Jin also straightened his slouched posture slightly.

He then turned his head and spoke unhurriedly: "Diamond, do you know why all of my brother-in-law's women have come?"

"Because of the Hei Ta... x... little... cough cough, because of the Hei Ta Lady, what else could it be."

Diamond nearly let his mouth slip, almost blurting out "Hei Ta Brother" or "Hei Ta Miss" by force of habit.

He urgently swerved to avoid the danger, forcibly correcting it to "Hei Ta Lady".

The next match is Hei Ta versus Lai Gu Shi, and Hei Ta is Hui Fei; this group of Xuan Ge's concubines have all come running to watch — isn't that perfectly normal?

"You think too well of my brother-in-law. He's no good person." Sha Jin laughed.

Diamond's answer was wrong to an outrageous degree.

"I know the Xuan Emperor isn't a good person, but what does that really have to do with this group of concubines...."

Halfway through his words, Diamond violently froze in place.

Fei Cui and Xuan Ge stayed alone together for a whole entire day; no one could see them.

Be it Ling Fei or Xing Fei, they might be absent from other matches, but they would show their faces in the viewing stands from time to time.

Which is to say.... the reason Fei Cui didn't appear all day is because she was doing something with Xuan Ge that was inconvenient to be disturbed.

That's right, Fei Cui won.

"Hahahahaha——!"

Diamond threw his head back and laughed loudly, laughing without reservation, his voice so loud that several nearby VIP boxes turned to look.

"Several hundred years! Fei Cui! You've finally risen to the top! Hahahaha——!"

From when Xuan Ge was still the Divine Might General, he had covertly matchmade Fei Cui to go make contact with Xuan Ge.

The aim was to use Fei Cui this great beauty to firmly bind Xuan Ge.

Unexpectedly Fei Cui never lived up to expectations, always maintaining reserve and distance, forever stopping at the level of a business relationship with Xuan Ge.

Several hundred years of stifled frustration — only he himself knew.

"All in!" Diamond stood up, fists clenched tight, waving hard at the sky, "All-in is a spirit! All-in!"

"Do you really have to go this far?" A trace of disdain floated on Sha Jin's face; his butt silently shifted half an inch to the side.

"You little brat understand nothing — the suffering I've eaten these years, only I know."

Diamond perceived the gazes cast from the surroundings; his face didn't have the slightest bit of social-death shame.

When Xuan Ge's offspring held the Zhouyi Ceremony it drew the Hunt and Erudition; the Crown Prince had barely been born when he was marked by the Destruction Mark.

That scene made him drool so much his eyeballs nearly fell out.

If Fei Cui also gives birth to one.....

That's right!

What dog-shit Market Expansion Department, what the-fuck other departments!

All of them have to shine shoes for the Strategic Investment Department.

"During this period I've seen through many people."

Diamond gazed at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, hands behind his back, his tone suddenly sinking, as if reciting a poem he'd held back for a long time.

"Originally I planned to get along with you all as an ordinary P47, but what I got in return was alienation."

Ao Si Wa Er Duo insinuated every day that he used Fei Cui's beauty to exchange for Xuan Ge's nod; the stifled frustration of this period only he himself knew.

Even as a P47, even with this kind of status, he couldn't avoid being gossiped about behind his back.

But now it's different!

Ao Si Wa Er Duo, you dare bark again?

Shine my shoes for me!

Sha Jin blinked, his expression turning blank bit by bit.

What the hell are you even saying?!

"No more pretending. Xuan Ge and I are brothers, I'm laying my cards on the table!"

Diamond spread his hands, raising them high, as if holding up a beam of light descending from the heavens.

"Heaven did not give birth to me, Diamond; the Dao of Salvation — lies right within!"

".... Crazy."

Sha Jin watched Diamond, so happy over Fei Cui's rise that he was spouting nonsense, opened his mouth, and for a moment actually didn't know which sentence to intercept first.
