Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"Your Majesty, you seem somewhat nervous?"

Liu Ying had absolutely no mind to watch the opera house performance; her hand kept groping on Xuan Ge's thigh.

"How could that be, I never get nervous."

Xuan Ge backhandedly caught Liu Ying's unruly hand, then picked up the milk tea beside him and took a sip.

But the moment the liquid entered his mouth, Xuan Ge sensed something was off.

He tasted it carefully, then... looked at the bottom of the cup....

He saw the straw was connected to Liu Ying's mouth, and what he had just drunk was Liu Ying's.....

"Alright, Liu Ying, stop fooling around." Xuan Ge gently pulled the straw from between Liu Ying's lips, drawing out a glistening thin thread.

Liu Ying licked her lips, raised her head, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, was it good?"

Xuan Ge glanced at the two hearts already glowing purple in Liu Ying's pupils, and smelled the cloying body fragrance beginning to gradually diffuse from her.

Both these states indicated without exception that Liu Ying had already completely entered breeding mode.

If he answered poorly, he would likely trigger some irrevocable ending on the spot.

"Uh.... good, I like it."

"Hehe, I knew Your Majesty spoils me the most. After all, every time we kiss, I feed you so much, so much."

Xuan Ge swallowed his saliva... momentarily not knowing how to answer, because he had a feeling of thorns in his back....

He quietly turned his head to the side, glancing at Fu Xuan sitting in the back row holding her phone, camera pointed this way on a video call.

If he hadn't guessed wrong, Fu Xuan was on a call with Yao Guang.

Because she had already said things like "Senior Sister, Hei Ta is bullying me" several times.

But whether he misheard or the stage speakers were too loud, he seemed to faintly hear the two words "Ling Fei".

"Your Majesty, are you hot?"

Liu Ying reached her hand into Xuan Ge's collar, felt his chest, then withdrew her damp palm.

"Hah.... so it was sweat, I thought..." Xuan Ge's words abruptly stopped.

The man's sometimes-accurate-sometimes-not sixth sense was frantically ringing alarm bells.

Right now it was best to maintain the Emperor's dignity, otherwise he might die very miserably today.

Ruan Mei, sitting behind Xuan Ge, seeing Hei Ta wiping sweat, curiously asked: "Hei Ta, are you hot too?"

"Still.... still okay, maybe the sound is too loud, making me a bit restless." Hei Ta guiltily raised her hand to fan herself.

Just now, if she hadn't misheard, Fu Xuan seemed to have really called out the words "Ling Fei".

Hei Ta secretly gritted her teeth; she really couldn't tell if Fu Xuan had truly blown it or was just bluffing.

"Relax, I'm still here." Ruan Mei didn't expose Hei Ta's nervousness, just took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead.

"Right right, with you here." Hei Ta let Ruan Mei wipe her sweat, but her heart couldn't calm down no matter what.

If Ling Sha really came, what would everyone play? Might as well each go back to their own homes.

Yin Lang, sitting across from Ruan Mei, had by now completely given up struggling, limp in her chair with lifeless eyes.

She heard clearly, Fu Xuan really was on a call with Ling Sha.

Black Wolf's consciousness form sat beside Yin Lang; seeing her dead-fish-given-up look, she teased: 'Dying of laughter, looks like your ultimate trump card, Kafka, is also a nobody.'

Yin Lang didn't reply; she just hadn't expected her own teammate would self-detonate at the drop of a hat, not caring about other teammates' feelings at all.

She only felt the Stellaron Hunters were probably done for.

Xiao Hei Ta wasn't much better; she sat next to Fu Xuan, already on the verge of half-shutdown.

But facing Ling Fei's direct question, she still had to force her spirits up to answer.

"Is Consort Hui being willful again?" In the video, Ling Sha sat on the Dragon Throne, smiling as she looked at Fu Xuan and Xiao Hei Ta.

"Wuwu~" Fu Xuan shook her head aggrievedly.

"Consort Hui is a genius, His Majesty said, having a bit of personality isn't strange. Besides, Consort Hui is beautiful and kind-hearted; she wasn't really talking about me."

Ling Sha saw through Fu Xuan's little thoughts at a glance.

But she didn't pursue Fu Xuan further, instead turning to ask Xiao Hei Ta: "Is what she said true?"

Fu Xuan is still too green; no wonder she saw through her at a glance.

From Jing Yuan returning to Luo Fu, to Fu Xuan requesting leave to leave, she could deduce Fu Xuan's every subsequent move just by breathing.

Jing Yuan is indeed a first-rate opponent to her, but he is only Xuan Ge's brother, with no chance for personal practice.

And Fu Xuan is too green, only knows how to copy mechanically, doesn't understand how to modify the plan at all, just applies it rigidly.

"Yes, Ling Fei." Xiao Hei Ta hurriedly nodded, not daring to say half a word more, afraid of being caught in a flaw by Ling Sha.

Yao Guang interjected at this moment, starting to give this foolish junior sister a way down: "Junior Sister, how did you become like this?"

Fu Xuan's heart jumped, somewhat guiltily wanting to avoid the topic: "Senior Sister, what are you saying.... how come I don't understand?"

"Sigh." Yao Guang shook her head, "Tell the truth, Junior Sister, what rotten idea did General Jing Yuan give you this time?"

The struggles of the Divine Might General era weren't child's play; every step was calculated again and again, so she saw through Fu Xuan's petty tricks at a glance.

Ling Sha smiled without speaking; since Yao Guang brought it up voluntarily, let her say it.

Fu Xuan's pupils quaked; these two don't even act, just go straight for it?

That's right, before requesting aid she indeed went to consult Jing Yuan first.

She actually didn't want Senior Sister and Consort Ling to really come over; otherwise, everyone's efforts would have been in vain.

So she made a request to Jing Yuan, to see if just borrowing Ling Sha's name could intimidate Consort Hui.

At first she could also tell that Jing Yuan was very wary of Ling Sha, but after she cried and made a scene, Jing Yuan still steeled himself and taught her.

But never in a million years did she expect that these two people would see through who was pulling the strings behind the scenes with a single glance.

This is what seniority means; it's simply too terrifying.

As expected, the women who can rank in the top few of the Xuan Huang Rear Palace are all masters of manipulation; a little dough-ball like her is, at best, just a roadside pebble.

"The General didn't teach me much; he just said that uttering the two words 'Consort Ling' would be enough...."

Fu Xuan looked at those two calm and composed faces in the video, and could no longer hide it; she sold Jing Yuan out on the spot.

"Hehe, this Jing Yuan has really been growing younger the longer he lives since he became idle."

Hearing Jing Yuan's method of bullying with borrowed power, Ling Sha smiled helplessly.

"Hehe, look at how you scared His Majesty; just now, that glance back of his even showed a bit of panic."

Yao Guang opened her mouth to tease Ling Sha, implying that her overwhelming might might not be a good thing.

Ling Sha naturally heard the hidden meaning in Yao Guang's words, but she played along, going with Yao Guang's meaning and directly preparing to set off for Ya Li Luo.

"You're right, His Majesty has been away from home too long, and Shen Wu is only a day's journey from Weng Fa Luo Si. I should go find him and bring him back."

This move shifted the pressure directly onto Yao Guang.

She frowned slightly, beginning to rapidly ponder how to worm her way through this crack.

Fu Xuan and Xiao Hei Ta swallowed hard simultaneously; even across the screen they could feel the oppressive pressure of the showdown between old-timers, so stifling it was almost hard to breathe.

Right now Xiao Hei Ta deeply regretted it; the outside world was too scary, she didn't want to be some rebellious tower anymore, she wanted to return to Black Tower Lady's embrace.

"Ling Sha, you're right; this Heavenly Realm plan is the top priority, and I also haven't returned to Shen Wu in a long time."

Yao Guang finally spoke, going along with Ling Sha's meaning.

"Hehe, good; we also haven't seen each other in a long time. When the time comes, I'll call Jing Liu to come along."

Ling Sha's words deliberately paused for a beat, then she revealed a meaningful smile.

"After all, the Astral Express and the Stellaron Hunters' next stop is the Er Xiang Le Yuan, and Jing Liu also has to go there; perfect for everyone to catch up on old times."

"Hehe...." Hearing Ling Sha's flawless proposal, Yao Guang's smile was a bit stiff; she could only steel herself and nod in agreement.

"Then wait for me; we'll set off together when the time comes."

She played a hand of social maneuvering, then immediately hung up the phone, not letting Ling Sha add any more conditions.

"Then, Consort Fu, I'm hanging up first."

Ling Sha picked up her phone, and before hanging up, deliberately added a final line.

"Oh right, remember to tell His Majesty that I'm arriving soon; tell him to wait properly."

"O... okay." Fu Xuan nodded woodenly; only after seeing Ling Sha hang up the video did she dare put her phone away.

The moment the screen went dark, her whole person slumped against the seat, striking the same lifeless pose as Yin Lang beside her.

She seemed a little, perhaps, probably, might actually have played herself.
