Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

Continuing from last time.

Neither Xi Lian nor Chang Ye held back; both women were aiming to cripple the other.

One dead-guarded the ring to prevent it from being snatched away, the other was dead-set on reclaiming what belonged to her.

Shockwaves detonated in the Void beyond the Myths; the debris had not yet finished falling when a slow, leisurely voice drifted out from the darkness.

"My, today's wind is quite clamorous."

Dahlia steadied her gift hat, raised a hand, and blocked the shockwave's residual might.

The smoke dispersed, revealing Chang Ye and Xi Lian both in disheveled, sorry states, and the corner of her mouth curved slightly upward.

The timing has arrived.

"Dahlia, don't forget our agreement!"

Chang Ye looked toward the dark depths beyond the Myths; she could sense Dahlia standing right there.

Xi Lian's heart gave a start; she had completely not expected Chang Ye to dare join forces with Dahlia.

Could it be she isn't afraid Dahlia will turn around and betray her on the spot?

But right now there's no time to worry about that much; regardless of whether Dahlia will betray her, if she herself doesn't leave now, she'll definitely be toyed with in the palm of this madwoman's hand.

"Thinking of running?" Chang Ye had already prepared to perish together, controlling the sole remaining jellyfish to extend its tentacles and tightly bind Xi Lian's four limbs.

"Chang Ye, no!"

Xi Lian looked at the blood-red tentacles on her wrists and ankles, and the first image that popped into her mind was actually the scene of Dahlia using her tail to do that kind of thing with Xuan Ge.

Her entire face flushed red uncontrollably.

"What are you saying?"

Chang Ye forced herself to stand, looking at her with a strange gaze.

If you want to break free then break free; where does this bashful appearance come from?

"Oh my, looks like the Peeping Tom also wants to play like that with Xuan Ge?"

Chang Ye doesn't understand, but Dahlia understands very well.

Four limbs locked down tight, a face full of unbearable shame and anger.

This appearance is clearly replicating the Black Swan bound by my own tail.

"Dahlia, don't forget the deal." Chang Ye spoke up again to remind her.

She has plenty of ways to deal with Dahlia, but right now her power is exhausted, and she also fears this woman might suddenly pull some trick.

"Of course, I'm the most honest person there is."

Dahlia gave a charming smile, telling a lie without batting an eye.

The mantis stalks the cicada, Dahlia is behind — haven't you heard the saying that the hunter often appears in the guise of the prey?

Seeing that look on Dahlia's face like she was toying with prey, Xi Lian's feet instinctively kicked against the ground trying to retreat, while simultaneously clenching her fists tight to protect the ring.

"Dahlia, my weakness is only for this moment. Think it through."

"Not bad bearing. Too bad, you picked the wrong opponent."

Dahlia walked smiling to Xi Lian's side, looking her over with great interest — this girl wrapped in battle damage by the jellyfish.

"Back then there was someone even more confident than you, and now she is Number Four."

Xi Lian froze, then realized who she meant — the Extermination Monarch, Xing Xiao.

"Behave yourself, or else you know my methods."

Dahlia reached out, her fingertip lightly brushing the ring brimming with Xuan Ge's causal power.

A trace of obsession flashed in her eyes; this ring shares the same source as the succubus pattern on her own lower abdomen, but its function differs.

Her pattern is life-and-death bound with Xuan Ge; she does not envy this ring.

But Xi Lian flaunting it endlessly made her want to have a taste of it too.

Xi Lian perceived the ring loosening, and her voice suddenly tightened: "Don't force me."

"What, going to call your Extermination Monarch's younger brother?"

Dahlia's mouth hooked into a wicked smile; her tail flicked nimbly, directly plugging Xi Lian's mouth.

"Mmph!!!" Xi Lian stared wide-eyed; she felt a little dead inside.

She knows all too well how many flavors of Xuan Ge's harem women have stained that tail.

"What's this, actually disdaining me?"

Dahlia leaned down close to Xi Lian's ear, lowered her voice, and whispered a few words.

"Don't forget, there's even more of... the Emperor's scent on it."

Xi Lian gave up struggling, only glaring at her hatefully with her eyes.

Once I recover, this debt will definitely be collected with interest.

Dahlia accepted that gaze with satisfaction, cleanly and neatly slipping the ring off her hand and holding it up before her eyes to examine it closely.

"Give it to me." Chang Ye tossed the black umbrella aside and walked quickly to Dahlia's front.

"Mm." Dahlia smiled and nodded.

Seeing Dahlia nod, Chang Ye finally let out a breath of relief.

But what Chang Ye knows is that Dahlia has never been an honest person; her next sentence made Chang Ye go on guard.

"I'm the kind of person who can't stand chaos in Xuan Ge's harem, and even less can I stand two consorts coming to blows over a single ring."

Da Li Hua spoke these words with incomparable seriousness.

Having one mischievous person in the harem is enough; everyone else had better behave themselves properly and not start disputes at every turn.

No one can touch Ling Sha's position — even Han Yuan Jun and Hua have to give her face, let alone me, the perennial number two.

But people strive upward, while water flows downward.

Xing can do the impossible; even if Xing Fei isn't the one she means, Xing is still contending.

How could I not want to contend for that one chance, to contend for the nobility of the Empress....

Chang Ye Yue felt her eyes blur slightly, because at this moment Da Li Hua's whole body faintly exuded the aura of a harem's mistress.

After a moment of silence, she still chose not to lock horns with Da Li Hua on this matter: "I only want to take back what belongs to me."

The number two is ultimately the number two.

Da Li Hua stayed serious for no more than three seconds before that playful smile hung on her face again.

"I've learned a lot from the Emperor, especially holding the bowl level — the main point is fairness."

Chang Ye Yue and Xi Lian simultaneously had all their attention drawn by this sentence, both assuming Da Li Hua was about to start playing tricks.

Only to see Da Li Hua place the ring in her right palm, then slowly press it against the Mei Yao pattern on her lower abdomen.

She forcibly mobilized the power Xuan Ge had left in the pattern; the lines on her abdomen grew increasingly bright, and the intense stabbing pain made her unable to help letting out a coquettish moan.

"Ahahaha.... it hurts so much~"

This scene stunned Chang Ye Yue; the jellyfish controlling Xi Lian silently dissipated.

And Xi Lian still maintained her imprisoned posture, staring blankly at Da Li Hua kneeling on the ground.

But the pain did not make Da Li Hua reveal a pained expression — on the contrary, it was a kind of supremely enjoyable pleasure.

"Enjoying alone is not as good as enjoying together."

Da Li Hua's mouth corner hung with saliva; she released the tail blocking Xi Lian's mouth, then spread open her right palm.

In the palm lay three rings of distinctly different styles.

"Let the struggle end here. Take what belongs to you."

She picked up her own ring, gesturing for the two women to step forward and choose.

Xi Lian did not hesitate; she snatched back her own ring, flipping it over and over, rapidly inspecting it.

"Da Li Hua, you...."

She raised her head in disbelief.

Xi Lian hadn't expected that this Consort Li who always only did bad things, this time actually did a good thing.

The ring was intact, the causal chain also unchanged in the slightest.

Chang Ye Yue silently picked up the last ring.

The moment it entered her hand, a familiar power surged up — it was her own causality reconnecting with Xuan Ge.

She smiled as she put on the ring, raised her head to look at Da Li Hua: "I owe you one."

"En heng." Seeing Chang Ye Yue so on the ball, Da Li Hua nodded in satisfaction.

Xi Lian stood up; after her power recovered slightly, she first repaired her clothes whole, then asked: "Da Li Hua, what do you want to do?"

She paused, then spoke the answer herself.

"You can't beat Ling Fei. Even if I and Chang Ye Yue help you, even adding the other consorts, it's still not enough."

"What if, how do you know if you don't try." Da Li Hua smiled indifferently.

In this Huan Yu, besides doing those love-making things with Xuan Ge, she could no longer find any thrill.

Might as well try challenging Ling Sha.

Of course, losing is losing; at worst, be pressed onto the bed by Xuan Ge and punished thoroughly.

As for winning..... she never even considered she would win.

She just wanted to drag some people down with her.

After all, she herself said it — enjoying alone is not as good as enjoying together.
