Protagonist:
Xuan Ge
The Hei Ta crowd blocked at the doorway, the air thick with gunpowder tension.
Especially Liu Ying, the power of the Path of Propagation flickering in her eyes, her whole person on the verge of igniting the ocean.
"Little girl, do you see the one beside me?"
Black Tower Lady took the initiative to introduce Liu Ying at her side to Bronya.
"This is Consort Firefly; she bears the glory of reviving Grammar on her shoulders."
"Exactly, exactly." Liu Ying nodded vigorously.
The thought of wanting a child kept assaulting her reason; watching Xuan Fu'er grow day by day, she especially wanted a child of her own.
Bronya had never seen Grammar, but the Shen Wu General History contained detailed records of Consort Firefly — Liu Ying, Grammar's sole surviving Iron Cavalry.
Although she felt heartache for her past, that was not a reason to let her in.
Indeed, she who had originally come to mediate had already joined Gepard and Sampo's interception line.
At first she completely failed to understand why the situation would develop like this, until that girl called Xiao Hei Ta shouted a line....
"Black Tower Lady, are you going to stop His Majesty from liking the big one?"
Just this one sentence, and Bronya instantly understood everything.
Gepard was blocking people for his sister, while she herself was also blocking people for.... her sister.
Sister Kokolia was no longer young; it was time to find someone to entrust her life to.
And Xuan Huang happened to have that preference; this was practically a gift delivered to Ya Li Luo, she had to seize it.
And so, both sides froze in place.
Xiao Hei Ta's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, making the confrontational gunpowder tension grow thicker and thicker.
"Apologies, His Majesty really is busy with serious business. How about coming with me to the Goethe Hotel to rest first?"
Bronya spoke trying to relieve the atmosphere, but what "serious business" this serious business actually was, no one could say clearly.
Finally Silva, who had come out by a detour, first gave Gepard a 'plan-through' look, then smiled and greeted the crowd.
"Right, honored guests from afar, why not enjoy Ya Li Luo's delicious food first."
Black Tower Lady raised her eyes and saw a golden-haired woman with a blue streak at her forehead, features seven parts similar to Gepard.
She knew with just one glance — this was that yellow-haired brat's sister.
"Heh, I thought Xuan Ge was doing 1v2 in there."
"Consort Hui's words, I don't quite understand."
Silva wore a proper smile on her face, but in her heart she understood perfectly.
Anyway, she and Kokolia were close enough to wear the same skirt, not like she hadn't seen the other without clothes.
Two people together, nothing wrong with that.
Gepard received his sister's look, the corners of his mouth forcing themselves down with all their might, absolutely must not laugh.
No words needed, just a single glance, the years of tacit understanding between siblings manifested to perfection in this moment.
Gepard knew his sister had succeeded; the Corridor Family was saved.
Sampo looked up at the lit window on the top floor of Kriper Fortress, then silently withdrew his gaze.
Since Silva had come out, Kokolia probably wouldn't dilly-dally anymore.
After all, that woman was the type who dared rush at a Stellaron in her maiden years, brave to a ruthless degree.
Black Tower Lady didn't want to waste more words, turned to Liu Ying, and began coaxing gently: "Since they won't let us through, why don't you just fly up and go take a look directly above."
Liu Ying switched to Iron Cavalry Form in one second, giving no one any reaction time, directly transforming into a streak of fire that soared skyward, instantly arriving at the top floor of Kriper Fortress.
"You're not nervous?" Black Tower Lady looked at the still calm-faced Silva, brows furrowing.
Could it be Xuan Ge is really doing serious business this time!?
"Why would I be nervous?"
Silva tilted her head, "His Majesty really is with Kokolia doing.... ah no, is doing serious business."
At this moment Liu Ying was suspended outside the top-floor window; she activated Mecha Transparent Vision, her gaze penetrating the wall directly into that reception hall.
Xuan Ge turned sideways, speaking first: "Liu Ying, why didn't you use the front door?"
"..... Ah, Your Majesty you really are busy." Liu Ying's catching-adulterers momentum instantly weakened by half.
She saw Xuan Ge's clothes were intact, Kokolia was also sitting properly in his arms; although the posture was somewhat intimate, it looked more like hand-in-hand instruction on some official business.
Xuan Ge defended himself righteously.
"Of.... of course. Although Kokolia has stepped down as Grand Guardian, she is after all Bronya's sister. Me teaching her a few more things is also good for her to pass down."
He did indeed teach Kokolia things, only the teaching material was the kind related to the Great Lily Flower.
You tell me whether that counts as instruction.
"Oh oh." Liu Ying nodded dumbly, hearing Xuan Ge's explanation, she completely set her mind at ease.
Just as Liu Ying prepared to turn and leave, Kokolia ultimately couldn't hold back, a meaningful sound leaking from her throat.
"No.... se...."
Xuan Ge immediately covered her mouth, lowering his voice in her ear: "Relax, don't clamp so tight."
"Your Majesty, how can I relax.... I.... sneeze.... all.... using full strength to endure...."
Kokolia's voice drifted out brokenly from between his fingers, carrying a sobbing tone.
"Emperor, I just seemed to hear some movement?" Liu Ying reactivated her scan.
That sound was too familiar to her.... Familiar enough that she often made the exact same kind in front of Xuan Ge.
"If Kafka were watching the two of us from outside the window like this, would you be shy?"
Xuan Ge tossed out a hypothetical question, letting Liu Ying's brain CPU burn itself up.
".... Yes." Liu Ying thought seriously for a moment, then nodded honestly.
"I'm going out right now; you guys go stroll around the city with Bronya and the others first."
Xuan Ge looked at Kokolia in his arms, who was already pacing wildly on the edge of losing control, and hurriedly found an excuse to send Liu Ying away.
"Alright then, Emperor, I'll wait for you at the Goethe Hotel."
Liu Ying didn't think much of it, obediently leaving the window following Xuan Ge's intention.
The moment Liu Ying's figure disappeared, Kokolia's body violently stiffened.
She wanted to stand up from Xuan Ge's arms, but if he didn't cooperate, she couldn't break free at all.
Her hands trembling, she covered her stomach, gazing at Xuan Ge's side face with unfocused eyes, her voice shattered into pieces.
"Emperor, first.... first let me get up...."
"My anger is huge right now; you figure out a way to extinguish it yourself."
Xuan Ge reached out and pressed his hand on hers; Kokolia's pupils shrank sharply, and she backhanded, gripping his fingers tightly.
After struggling for a good while, Kokolia had already completely turned into Xuan Ge's shape.
She panted coquettishly, speaking in broken fragments: "Like this.... like this I'll mess.... mess up your clothes."
"Doesn't matter. I am the Monarch of Extinction, after all."
"Ha..... What does that have to do with the Monarch of Extinction?"
"You'll know in a bit."
Liu Ying landed back on the ground, releasing the Iron Cavalry transformation.
"Let's go, the Emperor is doing serious business with Lady Kokolia right now."
"Hm?" Silver Wolf immediately perceived the subtlety in those words.
"Liu Ying, are you sure this serious business, is it really proper?"
"The Emperor is teaching Lady Kokolia some things. I saw it with my own eyes, there won't be a mistake." Liu Ying nodded solemnly. This serious business, guaranteed proper.
"Heh, looks like Xuan Ge still has a sense of propriety sometimes."
Hei Ta nodded in satisfaction, turning to Silva, "Come on, take us around for a stroll, get familiar with things."
Silva smiled and agreed, then looked at Gepard: "You wait here for the Emperor."
"Yes!" Gepard crisply gave a military salute, raising his hand to release the heavy ice seal on the Kriper Fortress main gate.
