Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"Your Majesty.... Gepard he..."

Silva was somewhat nervous; they had heard everything that happened at the Kriper Fortress gate loud and clear.

"I quite like him, Gepard had quite the presence just now." Xuan Ge smiled and casually patted Silva's thigh.

Kokolia, who had originally been preparing to speak up in Gepard's defense, was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Although she was not in the Xian Zhou officialdom, she had also made an effort to learn Xian Zhou culture.

His Majesty's words said he liked Gepard, but the true meaning behind these words was — to have Silva take the blame.

Regardless of whether Gepard had injured Consort Hui, he had made a move, and that made him guilty.

But as Emperor he could not pass judgment on a momentary impulse; moreover, this time it was Consort Hui who struck first, and Gepard only resisted.

In terms of motive, Gepard indeed had not received Xuan Huang's orders, but as a soldier, the Emperor was speaking with a subject, and his act of intercepting someone was justifiable in itself.

So the subtext of His Majesty's words was very clear: Gepard would certainly be in trouble, but his trouble would fall on your head, Silva.

Kokolia secretly sighed; she hadn't expected Gepard to actually blunder his way into getting it right.

Silva gripped the hand Xuan Ge had placed on her leg; she had more or less figured it out too, just not as transparently as Kokolia.

Xuan Ge gave her a reassuring look, putting the promise plainly on the table: "Mm, let Gepard go train more in the Shen Wu Imperial Guard, learn some skills."

He disliked making deals from a political angle, but he was absolutely not unfeeling.

Since Silva had feelings for him, and Gepard himself was a good seedling, since this pair of siblings were offering themselves up so eagerly, he would reluctantly accept them.

Mm, the feel of this leg is really good.....

Although it can't compare to Da Li Hua, this soft, tender, clinging sensation really makes one reluctant to let go.

The moment she heard the words "go straight into the Imperial Guard," Silva got excited, threw her arms around Xuan Ge, and pressed herself against him.

Bronya: "!!!"

Bronya's palm clenched slightly; Sister Silva is so bad!

Clearly I came first! Clearly I came first!

"Your Majesty, you're really not deceiving me, right?"

Silva leaned her whole body into Xuan Ge's side, her long golden hair sliding into the crook of his arm, the smile on her face radiant and utterly undefended.

"A sovereign's word is golden; I have no reason to deceive you."

While responding, Xuan Ge caught sight of the highlight in Bronya's eyes that had already thoroughly shattered.

His heart gave a jolt — it's coming.

Past experience told him this was the standard precursor to entering the early stage of yandere.

He sighed silently in his heart.

The Shen Wu Xian Zhou and himself — one of them definitely has bad feng shui.

Bai Qi is tangled up with Qi Ningli every day, a perfectly good general squeezed into a civil official; Li Chunxiao is even a standard henpecked husband;

By the time it got to him, he kept running into yandere.

If not for his strength being hard enough, he wouldn't even have had a chance to survive from Ling Sha's hands.

Thinking here, a wicked idea suddenly flashed through his mind....

What would happen if he sealed away part of his power and turned into an ordinary Pathstrider?

He swiftly strangled this thought in the cradle. He'd already experienced the little black room; he didn't want a second time.

If he really played like that, Xing Xiao and Huan Long would fight it out with Hua and Han Yuan Jun;

Kafka would unite Silver Wolf, Black Wolf, plus Ren pressing from the side;

Huang Quan would definitely come stick a foot in too.

Jing Liu and Yao Guang would definitely call in reinforcements — one calling Jing Yuan, one finding Fei Xiao to cooperate.

Then the pink-haired family, Chang Ye Yue would team up with Xi Lian, and join forces with Fu Xuan's divinations to scheme.

The company's Strategic Investment Department would follow close behind, Sha Jin's sister bringing Zhen Zhu and Fei Cui into the battle.

The genius side would be even less able to sit still — Lai Gu Shi, Hei Ta, Ruan Mei, might even have to drag in Screwllum.

Not to mention the Golden Bloodline members who haven't officially entered the fray yet — Ke Lü De La, A Ge Lai Ya and the rest would all fish in troubled waters.

Finally the Stealing Fragrance Group — Da Li Hua and Black Swan.

Why say these two together? Because Black Swan has always been played in the palm of Da Li Hua's hand.

From his understanding of Da Li Hua's depth, she absolutely would not take the initiative to fight, would not spark the flames, would only quietly be a transparent person, becoming the true final winner.

And once Da Li Hua surfaced, all harem members wouldn't even need eye contact, instantly united against the outside.

Kick this Da Li Hua out of the game first.

Mm.... by this point it's basically a gathering of heroes, a harem battle royale, and it makes even this Emperor a bit afraid.

One wrong move, and his own harem could give the Huan Yu a major event, chaos level no less than a catastrophe.

Good thing he's impressive enough.....

"Wow— Your Majesty is so good!" Silva squeezed in and kissed him hard on the cheek.

Joy completely covered shyness; from now on she and her younger brother could also be considered to bring glory to the Corridor Family gate, not disgracing the Corridor name.

Creak..... a clear sound of teeth grinding rang out.

"Cough cough, Bronya, how about you go outside and mediate the situation first."

Kokolia hurriedly spoke up, wanting her to go out and calm down.

Silva did not let go, still maintaining that ambiguous-to-the-extreme distance between herself and Xuan Ge.

She turned her head to glance at Bronya, a trace of guilt flashing through her eyes, but it was merely a trace.

Contending for the Xuan Huang, a slow hand gains nothing.

"Hah—" Bronya stood up.

She did not listen to Kokolia's words, but instead looked straight at Xuan Ge: "Your Majesty, do you also hope I leave?"

Xuan Ge: "..."

Here it comes, this exact flavor; no matter how I answer, the yandere value is bound to spike.

He did not hesitate, directly saying: "Silva has Silva's place, you have yours. No one can replace, and no one will drive away."

This was not a direct answer to that question, but giving her a reassurance pill, telling her not to rush.

The highlight in Bronya's eyes returned a little, not much, but barely enough.

"Your Majesty.... then I'll go mediate first." She finally showed the first smile since entering, "Then.... you wait for me."

"Mhm, I've always been here." Xuan Ge agreed with a smile, but in his heart he had already started muttering worriedly.

This comforting word had effect, but once dragged on too long, Bronya would eventually turn into Fei Xiao.

When that time comes it won't be as simple as snuggling and acting spoiled; she would really eat him alive.

This Emperor of his, truly quite busy.

Bronya nodded happily, walking quickly out of the side hall.

The moment the door closed behind her, Xuan Ge silently leaned back against the chair back.

Xuan Ge's side temporarily resolved a crisis, while Weng Fa Luo Si's side was also nearly done fighting.

Chang Ye Yue and Xi Lian fought all the way from Ai Li Mi Xie to Sheng Cheng; the wheat fields, temples, and plazas along the way all suffered calamity.

Lai Gu Shi truly could not bear to watch, waved a hand and threw the two of them into Shen Hua Zhi Wai, letting them go there to wreck the place.

"Stop—stop! Don't fight anymore—!"

March 7th shouted from below, she watched with wide eyes as Xi Lian grabbed Chang Ye Yue's hair, and she suddenly felt her own scalp ache sharply in sympathy.

"Let go!" Chang Ye Yue glanced at March 7th covering her head below, and just as fiercely grabbed Xi Lian's hair.

"You let go first!" Xi Lian glared at her, signaling her to first release that hand clutching her ring.

"Impossible! This is mine!"

Chang Ye Yue seemed to have entered a code conflict state—March 7th is the first, but this ring is equally the first.

"I got it by my own ability!" Xi Lian let go first, activating the causal power on the ring to violently knock Chang Ye Yue away.

"Heh, you bad woman who plays with Xuan Ge's power."

Chang Ye Yue raised a hand and waved, countless blood-red jellyfish surged from the void, rapidly fusing into a giant jellyfish that blotted out the sky.

"Truly sorry." Xi Lian displayed the ring, fingertips condensing a strand of power shimmering with blue-gold causal light, aiming straight at her.

"I am Xuan Ge's destined person."

"Oil-tongued slippery speech. I am the Moon Consort."

Chang Ye Yue moved first, maximum power output, a posture of wanting to totally destroy the opponent.

Even if afterward she gets pinned down by His Majesty and spanked, she absolutely will not back down.
