Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

One day later, inside the imperial palace's rear palace.

Fei Cui leaned against the head of the bed, stark naked, too lazy even to muster the strength to wrap herself in the blanket, only a pair of eyes slanting sideways to glare at Xuan Ge.

That gaze held spoiled complaint, a little temper, and a thin layer of watery mist that had not yet fully cleared.

"Hmph~ Thank you, Emperor, for still knowing to stay here and keep me company."

Her voice was a bit hoarse, the ending drawn out soft and sticky, "Satisfied now? You just had to play some exposure—I want to bite you to death right now."

Da Li Hua really harmed Xuan Ge quite a bit.

Xuan Ge was clearly such a proper person, yet was forcibly trained into this state by that crazy woman.

She really didn't understand, what exactly was so good about Da Li Hua?

Just a slightly larger chest;

Just horns growing on her head that let Xuan Ge use them as a steering wheel;

Just an extra long thin tail that flirts with Xuan Ge all day;

Just a succubus mark binding life and death with Xuan Ge;

Plus she herself dares to play.

Besides these, what else does Da Li Hua have?

Xuan Ge looked at her face, that expression of biting her back teeth and listing grievances, chuckled once, and extended his wrist to her mouth.

Fei Cui lowered her head and bit down in one go.

Only upon biting down did she discover Xuan Ge had withdrawn causality.

She actually managed to leave a mark on him.

She paused, force immediately lightened, lips lightly touched the spot just bitten, kissed it once.

"Xuan Ge, cut this act, stop using me as cannon fodder."

Fei Cui raised her eyes to look at him, the spoiled tone in her voice not yet fully dissipated.

"Hei Ta's competition, you entered Saint state because you played too much, had no mind to go watch—now you're deliberately hiding here with me, right."

"Hehe~~ How could that be...." Xuan Ge spoke halfway, suddenly closed his mouth.

This is Fei Cui's trap.

Say didn't go watch, that offends Hei Ta, Hei Ta will turn around and come harass him.

Say did go watch, then Fei Cui will feel he rushed over only when she was about to wake.

No matter which side chosen, both offend the other one.

"I see you still have strength. Those little rhetorical tricks, they don't work on me."

Xuan Ge smiled and leaned down, moving close to her.

"You~~ don't come over~" Fei Cui clutched the blanket tight, back instinctively shrinking back.

Her Po Hu reacted uncontrollably.

Mind full of the scene of herself naked pressed against glass, being entered in front of a full audience.

"Then guess, why did Xuan Huang have examples of not attending court for three days?"

Xuan Ge pressed to her ear, voice pressed extremely low, airflow faintly brushing past her earlobe.

"Three days isn't my limit~ it's Hua's limit."

"Don't.. I can't anymore~ you go find someone else~~" Fei Cui turned her face away, breathing already chaotic.

If it came again, she'd probably be played to death.

Legs still trembling now, whole body nothing but sour pleasure and no strength.

In the viewing room, moisture inside her body crazily drained away, she simply couldn't endure it.

"Hehe, just teasing you." Xuan Ge put away his playful expression, straightened up, prepared to go make her something to eat.

Fei Cui is physically weak now, this is also his fault.

Insisted on using Abundance to heal her, forcibly making her endure his strength head-on.

Fei Cui saw he was leaving, reached out and grabbed the lower hem of his robe.

Fingers clenched very tight, yet voice very small: "Don't go.... stay with me...."

Xuan Ge stopped his steps.

Fei Cui felt if he left this time, she would lose her sense of security.

She maneuvers with ease in the business world, every step treading on a knife's edge.

When it comes down to it, she is just a woman, facing those equally top-tier opponents, nothing more than one extra share of the power of ten stone hearts compared to others.

Lose this power, those stronger people can swallow her at any time.

Xuan Ge is excessive, makes her very ashamed, but the sense of security by his side, no one else can give.

She finished speaking only to realize what she had said, face reddened, immediately started to patch it up: "What I mean is——"

"I'm not leaving." Xuan Ge lightly patted her hand back, cutting off all her subsequent forced words, "I'll go make you something to eat."

Fei Cui looked at Xuan Ge's smile, the highlight in her eyes lightly trembled once.

Although Xuan Ge is somewhat a bastard, somewhat bad, but undeniable—he has always been serious.

".... Come back early." She tightened her fingers clutching his robe corner, "I'll wait for you."

"Hmm." Xuan Ge answered with a sound from his nose, turned, and walked out the door.

In the contestant passage, Hakita was already online.

Hei Ta gripped her staff single-handedly, her steps hurried and heavy, as if she were knocking on someone's skull in advance to prepare.

She was prepared to go find the Dog Emperor and have a good talk.

She and Lai Gu Shi argued for an entire match — what is divinity.

Neither could convince the other; the final outcome would either be a draw with both eliminated, or they would go to the martial arena and fight it out.

In the end, Lai Gu Shi proposed going to see Xuan Ge, letting him be the judge.

She subconsciously swept a glance toward the Red Phoenix Terrace; Xuan Ge's harem was almost entirely seated there.

With just that one glance, she instantly figured it all out.

The Dog Emperor Xuan Ge definitely didn't watch the match.

Because that guy Diamond didn't know what got into him, he danced embarrassingly right there in the VIP area, and even declared that today's expenses for the whole venue would be paid by the Strategic Investment Department.

Then she discovered — Fei Cui wasn't there.

Fei Cui isn't here, so hard to guess, where on earth is she?

Could it be she's secretly dating Xuan Ge?

It must be!

The Dog Emperor definitely went off to play, didn't watch her match.

Walking out of the contestant passage, Screwllum came up to meet her.

Ruan Mei stood right beside him, her expression the usual calm and gentle one.

"Hei Ta, you seem angry?" Screwllum tilted his head slightly, his tone carrying puzzlement, "Could it be you're dissatisfied with Lai Gu Shi's proposal?"

The match between Hei Ta and Lai Gu Shi was indeed boring.

The debate topic "what is divinity" isn't something ordinary people can understand.

The two ultimately deciding to go find the Xuan Emperor for a ruling was also reasonable.

What he didn't understand was why Hei Ta would flare up right there in the arena, then walk over the whole way seething.

"Hei Ta, I support you." Ruan Mei smiled, then added a reassuring word, "I've already told the other concubines — they also support you going to find Xuan Ge."

"The Xuan Emperor's harem is so harmonious, truly a lucky thing." Screwllum exclaimed sincerely.

The Zhi Neng have already fully cooperated with the Xian Zhou, everyone equal; naturally he hopes the Xuan Emperor's position grows ever more stable.

He had already planned to gift Xuan Ge another interstellar warship.

"Hmph~ Screwllum, you don't understand. The waters here run very deep."

Hei Ta let out a soft hmph, puffed out her chest slightly, confident without the slightest cover-up.

"Analysis: Xian Zhou's cultural heritage runs deep; writing is art, language even more mysterious.

Answer: The 'waters run deep' you speak of, Hei Ta, may concern matters between the Xuan Emperor and his concubines. This matter, I cannot help with."

Screwllum finished analyzing in a rigid, methodical way, and finally tasted the other layer of meaning hidden in Ruan Mei's words just now.

Looks like this is the Xuan Emperor's family affair; an outsider like him shouldn't interfere.

"I'd like to see just how Xuan Ge answers — what is divinity."

Hei Ta nodded, didn't continue wrangling over Screwllum's answer.

But her mind had already begun automatically playing out the scenes that Xuan Ge and Fei Cui might be enacting right now in the viewing room.

The more she thought, the angrier she got.

Her thoughts had already started turning yellow; don't know if she was infected by Xuan Ge.

It's been two days already, Xuan Ge still hasn't shown his face, Fei Cui the same.

She couldn't help thinking, is Xuan Ge flirting with Fei Cui on one side while watching the match on the other?

Surely not pressed right up against the glass watching?

That... that would be a bit too stimulating....

"Hei Ta, what are you thinking about?"

Ruan Mei watched her ear roots redden bit by bit, then her whole face follow along and turn red, and in her heart she already had the answer.

Hei Ta is thinking about some not-good things.

"Ah~! Nothing." Hei Ta violently snapped back to attention, gripped her staff tight and pointed forward.

"Go! The two of us are going to find the Dog Emperor!"

SP: President, I'm your mother, give me back my Dan Ni Ya!
