Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

After Fu Xuan left, the once-super trio had been reduced to a pair of wriggling maggots.

There was no time to mourn Fu Xuan's departure; next, Silver Wolf also began to move.

"Xiao Hei Ta, there actually exists a curse in this world."

Hearing this, Xiao Hei Ta looked at Silver Wolf with a blank, bewildered expression: "You... what do you want to do?"

"Together we're a pile of shit; apart we're a full sky of stars. It's time we each found our own way out."

Silver Wolf directly copied Xuan Ge and Jing Yuan's current situation onto the three of them.

This scene was very similar — simply too similar.

As long as they split up, the odds of winning could directly double.

Fu Xuan and Yao Guang's senior-junior sister relationship, if scored by game standards, would be at least a 7.

Silver Wolf sitting together with Bronya right now, that's at least an 8.

And the combination of Xiao Hei Ta and Da Hei Ta, that's also a 7 or 8.

Why are they all one point higher than Fu Xuan and Yao Guang's pair? Because the looks of these two duos are one-to-one replicas.

One big, one small — isn't that perfect?

"Those words actually make some sense."

Hei Ta saw Silver Wolf walk over and sit down beside Bronya, and she also held Xiao Hei Ta in her arms.

"Follow me, and you'll have soup to drink. Understand?"

Hei Ta pinched Xiao Hei Ta's cheek and warned her: "Dare to talk back to me again, and I'll never let you show off for the rest of your life."

Even if Xiao Hei Ta wants to become a true life form, she still needs the complete structure of a carbon-based organism; only then can Xuan Ge grant her vitality.

"A court full of loyal ministers, Hei Ta — where is there any disloyal subject...."

Xiao Hei Ta muttered softly; she indicated she'd behave, but only a tiny bit.

This position of Consort Hui, Hei Ta can sit in it.

Then why can't she, Xiao Hei Ta, sit in it!?

So, she, Xiao Hei Ta, must avoid its edge, temporarily endure, train troops and tame horses, awaiting the chance for battle.

Hearing the words "show off," Zhen Zhu's eyelid twitched — this Hei Ta was clearly pointing at her.

"No matter. Lost is lost. If we really can't win, just let Diamond pay up."

Fei Cui also knew Hei Ta was making Zhen Zhu return a favor, so she simply persuaded Zhen Zhu not to worry over these things.

After all, the three of them had money — very, very much money.

Plus Diamond's strong assistance from behind, they could completely use money to slap Xuan Ge's ass.

Fei Cui didn't avoid anyone with these words; she deliberately said them for the poor ghost Xuan Ge to hear.

"Cough, cough, Fei Cui..."

Xuan Ge didn't think twice before automatically turning into a duck-mouth; he had just opened his mouth to speak when Hua directly interrupted.

"Xuan Ge, as Emperor, you cannot accept bribes."

This reminder from Hua directly shattered Xuan Ge's dream of getting rich.

Xuan Ge fell silent; he secretly resolved to really give Hua a lesson, to make her properly surpass the three-day limit.

Can't I even have a little private savings? It's truly poverty to death.

Indeed, Sha Jin is the imperial treasury dedicated to this Emperor.

But as Emperor, although buying things doesn't cost money, the Emperor must follow procedures.

The Emperor cannot engage in production, nor go out to work; he can only be supported by those below.

This results in every penny he spends having a clear paper trail, and the amounts are perfectly clear.

"It's fine, scum unrelated to me — Xiao Zi and their wages, I can directly take them for you."

Seeing Hua give an opening here, Xing Xiao also seized the momentum and moved to directly take the Doomsday Beasts' wages to spend.

Xiao Zi: My Lord, I %¥#%#@!

"Hehe, those are all the Xian Zhou's labor force. Does the Star Consort want to play capitalist and set a bad example for those below?"

Hua didn't speak; instead Jing Yuan directly activated roast mode.

Hua's statement that you cannot accept bribes was a justified, evidence-based official line — the basic conduct binding Xuan Ge as Emperor.

This Jing Yuan fundamentally could not refute; he could only obediently listen.

But this Xing Xiao — he could pin a big hat on her.

Xiao Zi: Like. jpg

"Jing Yuan, Xiao Zi and them only need to eat energy; their wages ultimately just get handed up to me anyway."

Xing Xiao didn't care about Jing Yuan pinning a hat on her; she just discussed the matter on its merits.

The Doomsday Beasts at most go soak in the Shen Wu Da Hai; all the rest of the money they earn is handed over to the Xing Fei Dian and to the ruined Crown Prince.

"Star Consort, I mean — your behavior like this will let those below learn bad habits."

Jing Yuan's refusal to yield, even pressing a step further, made Xing Xiao start to feel some pressure.

Before Huan Long could speak, Ren directly killed his way out, directly cutting off this topic that was luring Xuan Ge.

"As the Divine Martial Anvil, I can forge one divine weapon per month for Xuan Ge; his expenses, you lot naturally need not worry about."

After Ren finished speaking, Dan Heng immediately picked up.

"Xuan Ge's expenses aren't big; Ren and I can fully support him."

After Dan Heng finished speaking, Jing Yuan followed up right after.

"I'm not just the Divine Strategy General; I'm also the Zhang Zhang of the Jing Clan. Twenty percent of the clan's commercial profits are mine, so I can fully afford his expenses."

The three of them bombarding in succession directly left Xing Xiao and Fei Cui unable to utter a single word.

"I have an objection!"

Just as Jing Yuan's words landed, Sai Fei'er'er stepped forward.

"Speak." Xuan Ge nodded slightly, casting his gaze toward Sai Fei'er'er.

"Your Majesty, just now that... that..."

Sai Fei'er'er pointed at that Hua who resembled a man, momentarily not knowing her name.

"Xianzhou Marshal, Hua, is Our Hua Fei." Xuan Ge briefly introduced for Sai Fei'er'er.

"Oh oh~"

Sai Fei'er'er blinked, voicing her doubt: "Didn't she say Your Majesty cannot accept bribes? Why can these three?"

"Little kitty, this is Xianzhou culture."

Huan Long laughed, and mockingly said with meaningful implication: "As long as Xianzhou deems you a Pinch Wu, you are a Pinch Wu."

Xianzhou culture is like this; Xianzhou never cares who you are, only whether you are useful to Xianzhou or not.

For example, a Jianmu tree; if it benefits Xianzhou, it is a spirit tree.

If it is of no benefit to Xianzhou, or even harmful, then it is a Pinch Wu, and must be struck with a heavy fist.

Seeing Huan Long tearing down Xianzhou's face, Hua also spoke up to remind: "Huan Long, although you are a Fei, you are still on Xianzhou's Major Enemy List."

As long as Huan Long acts in a way that oversteps, she will personally purge Huan Long; after all, this guy has always been an Extinction Monarch under the dual attention of Destruction and the Hunt.

Although Huan Long has already become Xuan Ge's shape, when vigilance is needed, vigilance is still needed.

"So...?" Sai Fei'er'er scratched her head; she obviously still didn't quite understand.

"Those three are all speaking official language."

Fei Xiao spoke up to explain for Sai Fei'er'er: "One Si Zhen, one Long Zun, one Jing Clan belonging to the imperial family."

Sai Fei'er'er nodded slightly; she seemed to understand a little, but also seemed not to understand very well.

What she slightly understood was that these few people all brought up the Shen Wu name when they spoke.

What she didn't understand was why only these three can stuff money to His Majesty.

Fei Xiao stopped at the point, not explaining further.

These three merely appear to be a General, an artisan, a Long Zun, and moreover a Long Zun who is outside.

But the three of them can be said to be Xianzhou's super nobles, and the kind who do real work, the kind who can make subordinates fully convinced in heart and mouth.

Ren didn't walk connections because he is Xuan Ge's brother; he came to Shen Wu truly spending blood capital to forge weapons for the Shen Wu Corps.

Before Xuan Huang ascended, all weapons of the entire Shen Wu Corps were from Ren's hand.

It can be said, Ren is the one among these three with the greatest prestige in Shen Wu.

This also caused Hei Ta to start imitating Ren's trajectory, starting from within the military, bit by bit accumulating prestige.

Next is Dan Heng; their Ming Clan got Ling Sha's Qi luck, thriving in Shen Wu merchant caravans and pharmacology.

If the Huan Yu has ranked hospitals, Shen Wu not to mention second, absolutely no one dares say first.

Then there's Jing Yuan; this one appears to have no direct relation to Shen Wu, but Shen Wu is everywhere full of Jing Yuan's shadow.

The Shen Wu Tai Bu Si Fu Shi was sent by Jing Yuan; even Fei was pre-judged by Jing Yuan and placed there.

Jing Liu is Jing Yuan's Master; this is a natural advantage, and these two Master and disciple help each other.

This lets Jing Liu occupy very high speaking authority in the Hou Gong.

These actually still don't count as the most important.

The main thing is, Jing Yuan truly grew up together with Xuan Ge, and when they were young Jing Yuan and Xuan Ge spent New Year together.

That relationship goes without saying; even Ling Sha is just a roadside stray by comparison.

So, Fei Xiao actually has a bit of worry: when Xuan Ge goes out again, if he runs into a female version of Jing Yuan.

Then...

Then things would really go completely bad.

The one who can defeat Jing Yuan is probably only Jing Yuan.
