Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"Where did Xing Xiao go?"

Kafka sat upright on the sofa, a purple-black gauze dress accentuating her slender figure, her pink-purple eyes tilted slightly upward.

Her gaze fell on the dahlia opposite, her tone carrying a hint of casual inquiry.

The dahlia leaned askew on the chaise lounge on the other side, surprisingly wearing an oversized black general's sleeping robe, collar wide open, lazy and alluring.

Her slender fingertips pinched a bright red cherry from the fruit plate, bringing it to her lips....

She slightly extended the tip of her pink tongue, imprinted with a heart pattern, lightly hooked it, and rolled the cherry into her mouth, chewed twice, and said in a coquettish tone:

"Where could Xing Xiao go? Of course she went to find her strategist~"

"Heh~" Kafka let out a low, soft chuckle.

Last night, Ai Li Ou came to Ren's room in the middle of the night, just crouched beside his pillow, quietly watching Ren.

And Ren, perceiving the gaze.... helplessly met eyes with Ai Li Ou for the whole night....

Far outside the star system where the Shen Wu Xian Zhou is located, Xing Xiao treaded through biting cold air, expended no small effort, and finally found Huan Long's trail.

At this moment, Huan Long was sitting upright on a magnificent black throne, wearing a gilt crown on her head, clad in a luxurious black robe embroidered with dark patterns.

She looked coldly down at the group of humans kneeling in worship below.

Xing Xiao stood quietly not far below the throne, she raised her eyes, her gaze sweeping over Huan Long on the throne, the corner of her mouth hooking a mocking arc, voice clear and cold, not carrying a trace of warmth:

"Heh~ Still want to sue me and Xuan Ge to the Creative God, with this efficiency of yours... if the Creative God knew, he'd probably hold you accountable first."

Hearing the voice, Huan Long slowly turned her head, charming eyes like silk looking toward Xing Xiao, her gaze lightly sweeping over her, a trace of playfulness flashing in her eyes.

She could clearly feel that Xing Xiao still carried that aura of keeping people at a distance, not a shred of the gentle intimacy a wife should have.

Still that cold, hard-as-iron appearance.

The corner of Huan Long's mouth curved slightly, her lips painted with black lipstick, making her look even more bewitching and seductive.

She leaned forward slightly, her tone carrying a few points of lazy irony, softly retorting back:

"Xing Xiao, aren't you the pot calling the kettle black? How long has your corps been stagnant?

And until now, you still haven't managed to take down Xuan Ge? For shame, when you were the first to get close to him."

"If you have the ability, you go do it."

Xing Xiao's voice fell, her fingertips moved slightly, spiritual light flashed around her, a silver throne even more magnificent and imposing than the one Huan Long sat on instantly condensed into being.

She walked straight to the throne and sat down, posture upright, gaze indifferently sweeping a glance at the humans below still like ants, devoutly kneeling, not a ripple in her expression.

Seeing this, a flash of displeasure crossed Huan Long's eyes, then she lightly waved her hand, tone carrying a few points of impatience, coldly saying to the kneeling humans below:

"All of you, withdraw."

After dismissing the humans, Huan Long's gaze toward Xing Xiao, her smile grew even more bewitching, she slightly raised an eyebrow, tone carrying a few points of provocation:

"You sure? Want me to go take down Xuan Ge?"

"What's there to be unsure about? If you're not afraid of death, you go." Xing Xiao answered indifferently, not a shred of joking in her tone.

Huan Long's face still wore a gentle smile, she didn't make another sound, but the anger in her heart ignited by Xing Xiao's provocation had not been suppressed because of her concession, instead burning even more vigorously, scorching her reason.

'Useless Xing Xiao, this long and still couldn't take down Xuan Ge, truly useless! If you really push me, I'll really go try!'

Huan Long roared silently in her heart, a trace of stubbornness and unwillingness flashing in her eyes.

Seeing Huan Long not making a sound, Xing Xiao didn't tease further either, then slowly stated the purpose of her visit this time:

"Come back to Shen Wu with me."

"Me?" Huan Long violently turned to look at Xing Xiao, her figure shifting slightly, the curve of her chest swaying gently with the movement, eyes full of surprise.

As if doubting she had heard wrong, tone carrying a few points of disbelief:

"Hehe~ Me accompany you back to Shen Wu? Sister, you serious?"

This was already the second time she had been shocked by Xing Xiao's words, even the anger in her heart had dissipated by more than half.

Xing Xiao nodded slightly, expression still indifferent, softly said:

"You just have to stay honestly in the General's Mansion, don't cause trouble, with me here, Xuan Ge won't trouble you."

'Do you even hear what you're saying?'

Huan Long unconsciously laughed out loud completely, laughter full of mockery and helplessness, she really couldn't hold it in.

"Let me stay in the core of Xuan Ge's lair? Xing Xiao, did Xuan Ge bewitch you, or are you deliberately trying to harm me?"

She hasn't forgotten, Xuan Ge has never given her a good face, if she really stayed in the General's Mansion, before Xuan Ge could trouble her, she'd probably go crazy first.

Seeing Huan Long seemed somewhat displeased, Xing Xiao's expression still didn't change, silent for a moment, then slowly raised her head, gaze looking toward Huan Long, softly spat out two words:

"Help me."

Huan Long:...........

After a moment of stupor, Huan Long slowly changed posture, legs elegantly crossed, jade feet lightly swaying, black nail polish on her toes flashing an eerie luster under the light and shadow.

She raised her eyes to look at Xing Xiao, a trace of probing flashing in her eyes, tone carrying a few points of playful inquiry:

"Ling Sha should be the first one now, right? And still suppressing you guys?"

Xing Xiao nodded slightly, didn't deny it.

Seeing Xing Xiao nod, Huan Long raised an eyebrow, continued asking:

"Besides Ling Sha, are there other envoys by his side? What obstacle did you actually encounter, that you'd turn around and beg me?"

"Kafka, Dahlia, they're all obstacles." Xing Xiao answered indifferently, tone carrying a few points of hard-to-detect irritability.

"Moreover, the Envoy's identity is of no use in this regard...."

These words are not false. In terms of strength, she, Xing Xiao, sweeps all before her, and no one can stop her;

But in terms of winning hearts, she falls far short of Ling Sha, Kafka, and the others.

That is why she thought of Huan Long — Huan Long excels at beguiling hearts; perhaps she could help her break the deadlock before her eyes.

"Heh~ What a piece of trash." Huan Long, upon hearing this, did not hesitate to complain about Xuan Ge, her tone full of disdain.

"She herself is unreasonably overbearing, yet forbids others from being overbearing — a typical double standard."

Finished speaking, Huan Long did not wait for Xing Xiao to speak up in Xuan Ge's defense, but immediately raised a hand to interrupt, her tone carrying a hint of dominance:

"Don't tell me things like 'you're not allowed to speak ill of him,' otherwise, I won't help you."

Xing Xiao opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but thinking of the purpose of her visit this time, in the end she still swallowed the words back down.

She quietly looked at Huan Long, without words, counting as tacit acceptance of her demand.

Seeing Xing Xiao compromise, Huan Long's face once again revealed a bewitching smile, her tone eased a few degrees, she looked at Xing Xiao, and asked seriously:

"I can help you intercept Kafka and Da Lihua, help you clear away obstacles.

But on this premise, you must guarantee that Xuan Ge will not kill me."

She did not want to have just arrived at the Shen Wu Xian Zhou, before she even had time to help Xing Xiao do things, to be chased and beaten by that killing god Xuan Ge, even losing her life.

"Rest assured." Xing Xiao spoke softly, her tone firm, making a guarantee to Huan Long.

"With me here, Xuan Ge absolutely will not harm a single hair on your head."

"Hehe~" Huan Long let out a low chuckle, a trace of confidence flashing in her eyes, then stood up from the throne, straightened her magnificent robes, her tone carrying a hint of arrogance:

"Then let's go~"

She paused, then added another sentence, her tone full of determination:

"The two of us Monarchs joining forces, if we still can't take down a single Xuan Ge, settle a few interlopers....

Then I'll resign directly, and never meddle in your messy stuff again."

Xing Xiao raised her eyes, glanced at the confident Huan Long, did not speak, merely nodded slightly, signaling she could set off.

But for some unknown reason, a faint unease rose in her heart; she always felt that Huan Long's mention of "resigning" might not be a joke after all.....
