Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

In the universe, only Xuan Ge and Da Lihua remained; starlight drifted lightly, fine specks of light settling on the hems of their clothes.

Dark gold and snow-white reflected each other, the atmosphere growing increasingly subtle and ambiguous; the star wind also softened a few degrees.

Da Lihua stepped forward with lotus steps, her pace light, treading the rhythm of stardust, stopping steadily before Xuan Ge.

The two kept a short distance between them, yet her gift was extraordinary; the white ceremonial dress set off her curvaceous figure and graceful posture.

Viewed from the side, she seemed to be pressed tight against Xuan Ge's chest; an innate, bewitching charm flowed along her hair strands, displayed without reserve.

Da Lihua tugged at her right sleeve with her left hand, slender fingertips stroking the fabric lightly; her right hand slowly caressed her cheek.

Her bashfully red cheeks were startlingly hot, violet pupils stained crimson; the depths of her eyes held gentleness and cunning, like a little fox waiting for its chance to move.

She lifted her gaze to Xuan Ge, long lashes trembling lightly, voice soft, glutinous, and coquettish, the ending note hooking the heart: "General~ why won't you look at me?"

She paused, the corner of her mouth hooking a teasing smile, the corners of her eyes upturned: "Hehe~ could it be the General's preference has changed~?"

Xuan Ge closed his eyes; this woman Da Lihua was coquettish and good at manipulating, her gift astonishing.

A moment later, Xuan Ge opened his eyes and lowered his head, his gaze falling on her gentle, charming face, tone flat and calm:

"This matter of the Memory Garden counts as a merit for you; tell me, what reward do you want? As long as it doesn't violate the rules, I can satisfy you."

Hearing "reward," Da Lihua's smile grew even more bewitching, the cunning in her eyes deepening.

She extended her right hand, index finger pressing against Xuan Ge's chest, tracing lightly along the fabric's grain twice, tone coquettishly reproachful:

"General is so boring~ all you talk about is rewards; do I look like someone seeking profit~?"

Xuan Ge's eyes sharpened; not waiting for her to cause more trouble, he seized her hand in one grip.

The strength was just right — enough to stop her, yet not hurt her, and also prevent himself from being teased.

But the moment his hand closed around her fingertips, Da Lihua cried out softly, voice soft and glutinous, a thin mist veiling her eyes, full of grievance, shoulders trembling slightly:

"Ah~ General~ it hurts~"

【I cao.....】

Xuan Ge cursed inwardly, his whole body freezing, hurriedly letting go.

This woman acts too well, and her gift is astonishing; calling her a gift monster is not excessive at all.

"Since you don't want to say, I'll just record the merit for now."

Xuan Ge deliberately avoided her gaze, looking toward the drifting starlight, tone flat as he covered his embarrassment:

"When you want to claim the reward, come find me; as long as it doesn't go against Shen Wu rules, I can satisfy you."

Finished speaking, he turned and walked away, unwilling to be entangled by Da Lihua any longer, lest he lose the General's propriety.

But he had just taken a step when his wrist was seized tight by a soft hand; the strength wasn't great but carried stubborn persistence.

Immediately after, a long, slender, icy-cold demon tail coiled around his forearm; a cool sensation spread out, freezing him in place once more, unable to advance.

Da Lihua's other hand touched her lips, smiling eyes curved, eyes full of cunning, voice soft, glutinous, and pleading:

"Give me some time~ I haven't decided on the reward yet~ you don't have to be in such a rush to leave, okay~?"

In a flash, her eyes brightened, as if she thought of a good idea; her body leaned closer to Xuan Ge, the fragrance growing even richer:

"How about... General takes me back to the General's Mansion; I'll stay there, and when I've decided on the reward I'll tell you anytime, okay~?"

"No!"

Da Lihua's words were cut off decisively by Xuan Ge before she could finish; tone resolute, brows tightly knit, the aura around him turning a few degrees colder.

"You want to join Shen Wu; I'll let you pick any courtyard, have people arrange it properly — food, clothing, housing, travel, you won't need to worry about any of it."

Xuan Ge's tone softened slightly, but his gaze remained firm: "But the General's Mansion — don't even think about it."

Xuan Ge knew clearly in his heart; he still hadn't confirmed whether Ling Sha was a yandere.

If he let Da Lihua live in the General's Mansion, what if Xing Xiao returned at that time, plus Ling Sha — three women gathered together would certainly stir up trouble; he'd likely never have a peaceful day again.

Xing Xiao's thoughts were simple; her lovesick temperament couldn't be hidden; he could still barely placate her;

But Ling Sha was gentle, meticulous, and watertight; if a yandere nature was hidden extremely deep, that would be the most terrifying — completely impossible to guard against.

Xuan Ge thought: if Ling Sha went to extremes, forcing him to remove his armor in the middle of the night would be a small matter.

What he feared was Ling Sha hiding something and saying nothing; moreover, as his Chief Strategist, she could always find methods that fit her identity yet could control him....

That would be the most frightening.....

Hearing this, Da Lihua wasn't angry; instead she smiled even more bewitchingly, tone straightforward and coquettishly naive:

"Fine~ if General won't let me stay, I won't stay~ I'll listen to General in everything~"

"But General has to arrange a good place for me — clean and quiet, best if I can see the direction of the General's Mansion, okay~?"

She didn't care at all where she lived; with her ability, she could find Xuan Ge anytime.

The reason she said this was merely to go along with Xuan Ge's wishes and not provoke his dislike, while simultaneously closing the distance, so she'd have a chance to taste the Hunt power on him.

Xuan Ge harbored no suspicion; seeing her agree so readily, his expression eased slightly, he nodded faintly, brows relaxing a little.

He lowered his head to look at the demon tail on his forearm, tone flat: "Let go; I'll take you to pick a courtyard, guarantee it'll suit your heart."

Da Lihua smiled bewitchingly, a flash of cunning crossing her eyes.

She not only didn't release the tail, but stepped forward, one hand resting on Xuan Ge's neck, fingertips stroking his collar:

"General, those Memory Keepers chased me for a long time~"

"Da Lihua you...."

Xuan Ge frowned, tone impatient, about to refuse; he truly didn't want any more intimate contact with her, lest his mind be disordered and he lose his propriety.

But before he could finish speaking, Da Li Hua interrupted, turning his own way against him, her tone cunning and seductive:

"General, I have intelligence on the Abundance Alliance~ Are you sure you don't want to listen~?"

Xuan Ge's words stuck in his throat, his impatience gradually turning to helplessness, his brows furrowing even tighter.

In the end, Xuan Ge helplessly closed his mouth, slowly bent at the waist, and steadily picked up Da Li Hua.

His movements were stiff, his body tense, trying his best to avoid unnecessary contact.

"Looks like the General's preference hasn't changed, huh~"

Da Li Hua smiled even more enchantingly, deliberately tugging down her white ceremonial dress to reveal her fair thighs, pressing them against Xuan Ge's palm.

She felt it still lacked a bit of force, then adjusted her posture, pressing her chest against his chest, her eyes full of satisfaction and obsession.

"Fuck!"

Xuan Ge cursed inwardly again, the restless heat growing even more intense, he could only desperately suppress the rising restless heat!

Xuan Ge forcefully suppressed the restless heat, ignoring the warm fleshly sensation transmitted from his hand and chest....

Then he released power to wrap around the two people, his figure flashing, instantly arriving within the Shen Wu Xian Zhou.

He quickly found a Dai Ke Yuan courtyard in the Shen Wu Xian Zhou, clean and elegant, quiet and undisturbed.

Xuan Ge immediately put Da Li Hua down, decisively broke free from her entanglement, and spoke blandly:

"You stay here first. If you lack anything, have someone report to me, I'll have it delivered promptly. No wandering around randomly."

The moment his words fell, he lingered not the slightest bit longer, his figure flashing again, instantly vanishing from within the courtyard.

He had to hurry back to the Qin Gong to wash up; otherwise, with Ling Sha's masterful medical skills, a hundred percent she would smell Da Li Hua's scent on him.

"Hah~ Hah~"

Da Li Hua stood in the center of the courtyard, panting slightly, her complexion growing even more flushed, her breathing becoming somewhat rapid, her surroundings still lingering with the faint green plum scent from Xuan Ge's body.

She raised her hand, lightly sniffed her fingertip, then slowly raised her eyes, gazing in the direction Xuan Ge had vanished, her eyes full of obsession and calculation.

Actually, from the moment she was picked up by Xuan Ge, she had been secretly trying, wanting to "taste" the Hunt power on his body.

But no matter how hard she tried, she felt nothing, captured nothing.

That Hunt power seemed to be tightly wrapped in a layer of invisible Barrier, impregnable, utterly impossible to approach in the slightest.

"Is it you who's tempting~ Or the Hunt power on your body~"

Da Li Hua muttered to herself, the obsession in her eyes not diminishing in the slightest; actually, when she spoke these words, her heart already had the answer.

She slowly retracted the enchanting expression on her face, her gaze gradually becoming clear, her line of sight slowly sweeping across this courtyard.

The courtyard was clean and tidy, arranged very elegantly, full of the Shen Wu Xian Zhou's unique style, quiet and comfortable; obviously, Xuan Ge had not perfunctorily dealt with her.

The corner of Da Li Hua's mouth hooked up a meaningful smile.

She wasn't in a rush; anyway, she had all the time in the world, to slowly entangle Xuan Ge, to slowly try to "taste" the Hunt power on his body.
