Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

The vast starry expanse of the universe, silent and soundless, only starlight flowing slowly in the darkness.

Xing Xiao sat quietly in the Void, a pure white jade table suspended before her, on it a pot of clear tea, steam curling, emitting a faint tea fragrance.

Her fair, slender fingers lightly pinched the rim of the celadon tea cup, fingertips stroking the cool porcelain wall, her eyes full of hesitation, yet she did not drink immediately.

Wait a little, wait a little more.

Only then would the tea be sweetest, just like the time she spent by Xuan Ge's side, the more she anticipated, the more beautiful.

She had not seen Xuan Ge for a very long time.

In her mind, Xuan Ge's appearance surfaced again and again:

Golden pupils brilliant, clad in a dark gold General's uniform, naturally exuding awe-inspiring majesty.

"Miss him so much~"

"Why haven't you come find me yet~"

The murmurs in her heart, gentle and aggrieved, were completely at odds with the Destruction aura surrounding her.

Huan Long, sitting opposite Xing Xiao, through the star rings encircling her, clearly saw in her gray-purple eyes extremely faint pink hearts, the look of one fallen into lovesickness.

Huan Long's mouth twitched, a wave of speechlessness rising in her heart, even her brow furrowed with a few degrees of irritability.

She forcefully suppressed her impatience, slightly hooked her jade legs, crossing them, posture alluring and lazy, fingertips lightly tapping the tabletop, emitting a faint sound.

She knew clearly, Xing Xiao had fallen completely, plunged headfirst into Xuan Ge's gentle embrace, never to climb out again.

What puzzled her even more was that the Creative God seemed to have absolutely no intention of intervening, allowing Xing Xiao to "degenerate" like this.

Huan Long now truly wanted to run before the Creative God, force Him to open His eyes wide and look properly, look at what our Destruction Legion's General has degenerated into!

Although Xing Xiao ordinarily still, as in days past, led troops on campaigns, following the Stellaron.

But once idle, she became like a Husband-Watching Stone, sitting motionless, her mind full of Xuan Ge, not a trace of a Destruction Monarch's majesty remaining.

Huan Long took a deep breath, gaze falling on Xing Xiao still immersed in her own thoughts, and spoke in a flat tone:

"That Memokeeper, still not found?"

They, the Extermination Monarchs, had no camaraderie to speak of, and Xing Xiao had also been at odds with her for a long time because of Xuan Ge.

But the reason the two of them are sitting together now is because they share a common goal — Xuan Ge.

Huan Long's thinking was very simple: she wanted to borrow the Harmony power Xing Xiao bore, assimilate Xuan Ge, and take Xuan Ge completely offline.

Let Xing Xiao find a place, lock Xuan Ge in a small dark room, and let her lovesickness run however wild.

As long as Xuan Ge goes offline, even if it's Xuan Ge and Xing Xiao's child, she, Huan Long, would be willing to help raise it!

So, she must help Xing Xiao, let Xing Xiao successfully obtain Xuan Ge; only then can she achieve her own objective.

Hearing Huan Long's words, Xing Xiao only then slowly recovered, put down the tea cup in her hand, movements gentle, not emitting the slightest sound.

She raised her eyes to look at Huan Long, brows and eyes cold, the gentleness around her instantly shed.

"No."

Ever since leaving Xuan Ge's side, she had been constantly inquiring about the female Memokeeper Xuan Ge mentioned, mobilizing considerable forces.

But in the end, aside from discovering a Wulou Jingzi currently being hunted down, there was no other useful information whatsoever; not even that Memokeeper's name or appearance was known.

In Xing Xiao's heart, a faint conjecture stirred.

Could that Memokeeper be the one who betrayed the Antimatter Legion back then, later joining the Memory Garden?

If that's truly the case, then I absolutely cannot let her meet Xuan Ge!

Seeing her expression shift slightly, Huan Long roughly guessed her thoughts too, yet waved her hand dismissively, directly bypassing this topic.

A mere insignificant Memokeeper, incapable of stirring any great waves, fundamentally not worth them spending so much time and effort investigating.

"Stop looking for that Memokeeper, it holds no meaning whatsoever."

Huan Long's tone casual, casually offering a suggestion:

"Why not you directly lead troops and ambush the Abundance Allied Forces with Xuan Ge, break their backbone in one stroke, solve this major trouble for Xuan Ge, perhaps the position of legitimate wife will be yours."

Xing Xiao coldly glanced at Huan Long, a trace of disdain flashing in her gray-purple eyes.

What nonsense is this?

If she really did that, it appears to help Xuan Ge, but in reality it's creating trouble for him!

With her and Xuan Ge's strength, crushing any force is nothing.

But she is a Destruction Monarch; once she acts, it will inevitably alert the Xianzhou Alliance and Other Forces, and then Xuan Ge will certainly be implicated, landing a heap of trouble.

She absolutely will not do anything that harms Xuan Ge or brings Xuan Ge trouble.

Feeling the cold gaze from beneath Xing Xiao's star rings, Huan Long didn't care in the slightest, still smiling alluringly, and offered another new suggestion:

"Since that's the case, then I'll go to the Abundance Allied Forces' side, pass a message to Xuan Ge, tell him the exact pacification location, let him take fewer detours, how about that?"

"No!"

Xing Xiao didn't even think, directly refused, tone still cold, even a few degrees more resolute.

Xuan Ge distinguishes rewards and punishments clearly; this matter will ultimately be credited to you, having nothing to do with her.

Huan Long propped her cheek, looking at Xing Xiao's resolute face, a trace of helplessness flashing in her eyes, yet still not giving up, continuing to give Xing Xiao ideas:

"Then return to the Shen Wu Xian Zhou, stay by Xuan Ge's side, at least you can stabilize Ling Sha's side, prevent her from seizing the opportunity to sow discord between you and Xuan Ge."

Although Huan Long had never seen Ling Sha, to be able to force Xing Xiao into this state, and also be Xuan Ge's Chief Strategist, her methods would not be low.

In her understanding, beneath Ling Sha's gentle exterior lay an extremely strong desire for control; she would surely scheme by every means to monopolize Xuan Ge, not letting anyone approach.

If Xing Xiao were to return, she would surely be able to restrain Ling Sha.

Yet Xing Xiao still shook her head, her tone firm, her eyes even holding a few traces of gentle consideration:

"No. Ling Sha and I have never gotten along; if I return, we will inevitably fight endlessly.

When that happens, it will only make Xuan Ge worry and expend effort, caught in a dilemma.

I don't want him to fall into a predicament of being torn between two sides because of me."

"Hehe~" Huan Long laughed, her laughter full of helplessness and mockery.

"This won't do, that won't do; I say you might as well just go bear him a child, that way no one can snatch him from you."

These words were originally just a spur-of-the-moment teasing joke Huan Long blurted out in exasperation.

But upon hearing this, Xing Xiao instantly fell silent, a flash of seriousness crossing her gray-purple eyes, and she lowered her head to ponder.

Bear a child?

This... is possible.

Ling Sha cannot bear children, but she can.

Although she herself is not human, she can still achieve gestation; this is something Ling Sha cannot compare to!

Who knows, their child might have brilliant golden eyes like Xuan Ge~

Or might have gray-purple eyes like herself, or perhaps even possess pure white hair strands like her~

The more she thought, the richer the gentleness in Xing Xiao's eyes became, and even the Destruction aura surrounding her body softened a few degrees.

Watching Xing Xiao's appearance of serious contemplation, Huan Long was completely dumbfounded, then nearly burst out laughing.

This laugh was one of being infuriated into laughter.

Xing Xiao, you motherfucker.......

She finally saw clearly; with this love-brain, there's simply no reasoning to be had.

Huan Long couldn't be bothered to pay her any more mind, violently standing up and smoothing out her black skirt hem.

A trace of cunning flashed in her eyes; before leaving, she didn't forget to provoke Xing Xiao once more.

Huan Long smiled charmingly, her tone full of teasing:

"Don't forget about Ling Sha~ Also, Xuan Ge likes them big~ You'd better hurry up, don't let Ling Sha get there first."

Finishing these words, Huan Long didn't dare linger for even half a moment; her figure flashed and she directly vanished inside Xing Xiao's Xing Kong Bedchamber.

"Boom—!"

Where Huan Long had vanished, a mass of dense deep-purple Destruction Energy suddenly exploded.

Energy raged, shaking even the surrounding starlight into a slight tremble, enough to see Xing Xiao's current fury.

Xing Xiao's chest rose and fell slightly, her gray-purple eyes full of rage, yet also carrying a trace of hard-to-detect bashfulness.

She let out a cold hmph, her tone carrying a few parts coquettish complaint and a few parts determination:

"No need for you to remind me! I know Xuan Ge likes them big!"

Be it Ling Sha or Huan Long, no one can snatch Xuan Ge away; he can only be hers.

Xing Xiao calmed her breathing, picked up the clear tea on the table once more, and this time, she didn't wait any longer.
