Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"Emperor, why do you look like you're facing life and death?"

Ling Sha's projection appeared inside the Stellaron Hunters' base; she looked at Xuan Ge, who seemed to be facing a formidable enemy, with amusement in her eyes.

She had not come this time with any intention of reproach; she only wanted to see if Xuan Ge was happy and whether he had been injured.

But seeing him looking like he was facing a formidable enemy, Ling Sha felt like teasing him — after all, it had been a long time since she had seen Xuan Ge like this.

"Ling Sha, Xuan Ge is not injured; you can rest assured on that point."

Kafka spoke up for Xuan Ge first, wanting to steer things back on track and, conveniently, tell Ling Sha about the Jinguang matter.

"Mhm, I can tell His Majesty has been suppressing it for quite a while."

Ling Sha gave a slight nod; her gaze swept lightly over Xuan Ge's hand resting on Dali Hua's thigh.

That one glance scared Xuan Ge to death; he immediately tried to pull his hand away, but Dali Hua reached out and pressed it down.

"What are you doing, Your Majesty? Ling Sha only took a look; she didn't say anything, did she?"

Dali Hua smiled as she pinned Xuan Ge's hand firmly on her leg and looked at Ling Sha: "His Majesty just went through a brush with death; don't go scaring him."

"Mhm, I don't mind His Majesty coming back to enjoy himself, but……"

That one pause from Ling Sha instantly put Kafka and Dali Hua into combat-ready mode.

And that one pause from her also sent Xuan Ge's life flashing before his eyes once more in his mind.

Because Xuan Ge simply could not imagine what Ling Sha would say next…… let alone respond to it.

"But unfortunately, I can only come in the form of a projection. Ever since Black Xuan Ge descended on the Luofu, all aspects of the Xianzhou have been very busy, and the Luofu is still under repair."

Superb rhetoric often employs the most unadorned methods.

This was the thought that simultaneously flashed through Kafka and Dali Hua's minds. With a single sentence, Ling Sha effortlessly finished them both off.

To rebut would be to oppose Xianzhou politics, to oppose Xuan Ge.

Likewise, they lost — because what followed would completely fall into Ling Sha's rhythm.

This is Ling Sha — she seems so ordinary that anyone could bully her, yet it is precisely because of this ordinariness that no one can beat her.

Dali Hua and Kafka tacitly kept silent; they had lost, but only half — there was still a chance.

"Ling Sha, you've worked hard."

This bait hooked Xuan Ge perfectly; he felt heartache for Ling Sha handling Xianzhou state affairs on his behalf.

Ling Sha smiled faintly: "This concubine is not tired; as long as I can help His Majesty, I will not have wasted the grace of His Majesty bringing me from Zhu Ming and raising me for so many long years."

Kafka and Dali Hua: ……

This move of Ling Sha's, hooking Xuan Ge's memories, was truly too ruthless. He not only falls for the big moves, he especially falls for memories.

Otherwise Shuhu could not always be lingchi'd by Xuan Ge.

Kafka glanced at Xuan Ge and saw his mouth slightly open, his face full of guilt; she knew Xuan Ge was done for.

Xuan Ge was played securely in the palm of Ling Sha's hand.

But this is still better than being played in the palm of Dali Hua's hand — at least it's proper.

"Hehe, what kind of expression is that, Your Majesty?"

Ling Sha let out a light laugh, then began to guide Xuan Ge.

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Realm Plan has been executed; the operator is Lai Gu Shi. This concubine hopes you will go take a look when the time comes."

"Entrusting the Heavenly Realm Plan to him, I'm at ease." Xuan Ge's thoughts were tugged by Ling Sha and successfully steered onto proper business.

Seeing Xuan Ge take the bait, Ling Sha also began stacking the gacha pool.

"Your Majesty must not forget Hei Ta and Ruan Mei; after all, the Erudition Venerable's research topic — Lai Gu Shi is still waiting anxiously for it."

Hearing this, Xuan Ge scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

This Ling Sha is actually urging him to go make babies with Hei Ta and Ruan Mei. A woman like this — even if the universe exploded, you couldn't find a second one.

"Oh right, Your Majesty must not forget Fu Xuan either; their Fu clan contributed quite a lot of money toward the Luofu's repair costs."

"Ling… Ling Sha……" Hearing this, Xuan Ge could no longer sit still.

Whether Ling Sha was stacking rewards for him or deliberately doing this, he really couldn't tell anymore.

"Your Majesty, don't be afraid; I really have no complaints — I only hope you're happy, and I'll be satisfied."

Ling Sha stepped forward, reaching out to touch Xuan Ge's cheek, but she forgot she was only a projection.

Xuan Ge immediately reached out, using the power of causality to grasp Ling Sha's hand, then gently placed her hand against his own face.

"I went to Teyvat and found the truth, but I was indeed blinded by all the colorful flowers."

Xuan Ge's words paused for a beat; he decided to just splash this basin of water out. Anyway, the big ones — he wants them all.

"But I can't let the others down; I'm a very devoted man."

"Hehe~ I know, ah — only liking the big ones, truly devoted." Ling Sha smiled gently and did not blame Xuan Ge.

From start to finish she only scared Xuan Ge with that one line; the rest was all sincere.

"Ling Sha……" Xuan Ge pressed his lips down, feeling very sorry toward Ling Sha.

But he really can't change it, because he truly is the scum Xing Xiao spoke of.

"Alright, acting just like a child."

Ling Sha pinched Xuan Ge's cheek, then said: "Come back early; I'll always be at home."

"Mhm~" Xuan Ge sniffed his nose.

Ling Sha's kindness can never be fully repaid.

In the end, Ling Sha stood on tiptoe and kissed Xuan Ge, then proactively ended the projection. Otherwise Xuan Ge would definitely have come looking for her immediately, heedless of everything.

Although if she hesitated a bit longer, Xuan Ge would also have come looking for her recklessly, but that was not what she wanted.

This kind of method belonging to Da Li Hua, she would not use.

It is not that she disdains to use it, but that she does not want to force Xuan Ge.

Because she left a blank, Xuan Ge would unconsciously come looking for her.

Seeing Ling Sha proactively hang up, Xuan Ge always felt there was still something not explained clearly.

He thought that as soon as he had time he would find Ling Sha and have a good talk, otherwise his heart would always feel somewhat strange.

But now... Xuan Ge looked toward Da Li Hua.

"Emperor, shall we come now?"

Da Li Hua saw Xuan Ge looking over and immediately reached out to grab Kafka's arm.

"Can Kafka come along too?"

Kafka:...

"Take your claws off." Kafka brushed Da Li Hua's hand away, then stood up, "I'll go call Ren to make the meal."

"Alright." Xuan Ge nodded, seeing it through to the end, after all Kafka had also been waiting for him all along.

"Alright Emperor, now only you and I are left~"

Da Li Hua's eyes turned red with a hint of pink, charmingly smiling as she seduced Xuan Ge.

"Want to do it right here in this place? I guarantee I won't make a sound, won't disturb Silver Wolf and the others."

"Da Li Hua..." Xuan Ge helplessly held his forehead.

He knew Da Li Hua was joking, after all Kafka would be back in no time.

He had barely managed to pass the time peacefully with Kafka; if he fell for Da Li Hua's trick now, he would really deserve to die.

"Hehe~"

Da Li Hua laughed and stood up, then pressed her front against Xuan Ge's chest, and lifted her left leg to lightly rub against Xuan Ge's waist.

"Emperor, you actually lied, didn't you."

Xuan Ge's pupils contracted slightly, but soon returned to calm.

"I don't understand what you're saying, I've already told the truth."

"Really?"

Xuan Ge nodded: "Guaranteed true."

"Then Emperor, is Alice cause before effect, or cause after effect?"

Xuan Ge's eyes widened slightly; he hadn't expected Da Li Hua to actually see through this...

Seeing Xuan Ge's expression, Da Li Hua smiled meaningfully, and spoke up for him.

"It was Alice who moved first to assassinate the Emperor, and you discovered there was causality, so you closed the loop."

"Da Li Hua, can you stop being in heat?"

Kafka's voice startled Xuan Ge, and immediately after Da Li Hua said: "Alright, time to go to the kitchen and prepare."

Finished speaking, she pulled Kafka away from this place, leaving only Xuan Ge alone to slowly think.

"Alright, time to go to the kitchen and prepare."

With Alice here, it was indeed himself who had concealed some things.

Just now Da Li Hua said: it was Alice who moved first to assassinate, and as a result discovered there was causality, so she closed the loop.

But among this there was a missing link.

It was because he thought of Da Li Hua, wanted her, that Alice's future fruit was therefore produced.

Xuan Ge muttered to himself: "Ling Sha, those eyes of yours, just how far can they see."

Just now Da Li Hua was not scaring herself, but reminding him, that sentence Ling Sha said about suppressing for too long...

So, from the very beginning Ling Sha had reminded him, she actually could know everything.

Thinking of this, Xuan Ge began to sweat...

Too terrifying, he prepared to go back and kneel on durian skin for Ling Sha.
