Chapter 1389

Having grasped a certain feeling in the haze, Li Ang couldn't help but gasp, vaguely figuring out the correct way to use the 【Soft Rice】 badge.

This "ignore any reality conditions" likely also included reality's positional conditions, so theoretically speaking, as long as he stood behind Veronica, he could mobilize the entire Traveling Thrush Kingdom's army and bring them all in front of him.

And this wasn't even the end.

If the definition of "assets" was broad enough to include all citizens and their wealth, then he, standing behind Veronica, could even pack up and take away the entire Traveling Thrush Kingdom in the blink of an eye!

It's too absurd, really too absurd. If his hypothesis was true, then this effect was definitely better than 【Immortal in Wine · Clear Yellow】, and its operability far exceeded the 【Immortal in Wine】 which could only take effect on a single target!

After letting his thoughts wander a bit and imagining several possible operations, Li Ang, while clicking his tongue, suddenly felt that the activation condition for 【The Man Behind the Queen · Cream White】 seemed... perhaps... maybe not completely unacceptable?

Even if activating this soft-rice badge required experiencing a social death of astonishing proportions, for him and Veronica, it could completely be treated as some kind of... um... special intimacy? She should... possibly... probably not "look at him differently" because of this, right?

In short, although the activation process of this thing was indeed shameful, if it was thrown at his own person, then rounding it up, could it be considered that he didn't lose face?

"Li Ang?"

Feeling the slight dampness in her palm, the Queen, who was holding Li Ang's hand in the carriage and conducting the coronation parade, couldn't help but smile and turn slightly, whispering teasingly:

"Why are your palms sweating? You aren't nervous, are you?"

"..."

To be fair, rather than calling this nervousness, it's more like I'm desperately trying to overcome my excessive sense of shame...

"Don't worry, the parade will be over soon."

Seeing Li Ang not speaking, Princess Veronica... no, Queen Veronica squeezed his palm hard and comforted him softly:

"If you aren't used to this kind of occasion, then leave the greeting to me... Sorry, I forced you to come up here without asking you; I probably put you in a difficult spot."

"It's not that."

Looking at Queen Veronica's slightly apologetic eyes, Li Ang couldn't help but shake his head.

"I'm not nervous because there are many people; I was just thinking about some things and got a bit lost in thought."

Thinking about some things and getting so lost in thought that your palms are sweating?

Queen Veronica blinked upon hearing this, then took advantage of the interval between two waves of greeting to ask curiously and not without anticipation:

"What are you thinking about? Could it be... thinking about our future?"

Uh... if thinking about how to eat your soft rice in the future counts as thinking about our future, then maybe?

Facing Queen Veronica's curious eyes, Li Ang hesitated for two seconds, then, thinking of her honesty and sincerity toward him, couldn't help but grit his teeth and say:

"If I say it, you aren't allowed to laugh."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't laugh."

"Alright then..."

Looking at Queen Veronica's solemn expression, Li Ang, who really couldn't bear to leave this powerful badge unused, thought that he would have to face social death sooner or later, so he simply spoke up and confessed:

"I was just thinking about whether I should eat your soft rice in the future."

"？!"

Having watched Li Ang's serious and then hard-to-handle expression earlier, she thought he was thinking about some serious problem, but it turned out he was actually pondering whether to eat her soft rice. Queen Veronica couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"..."

o(╯□╰)o

"Haha... sorry, I couldn't help it, ah hahahaha!" After laughing directly into Li Ang's arms, looking at her husband's speechless expression, Queen Veronica couldn't help but cover her mouth tightly, enduring and enduring until she finally calmed down. Then, holding Li Ang's arm, she answered with a suppressed smile:

"If you want to, then just eat it. I even hope you can eat more of it, eat it ruthlessly. After all, most of the time before, it was actually you helping me. If I could be needed, or even relied upon by you in return, I would actually be very willing."

Fine, you said it yourself.

With the statement from the principal party, the sense of shame in Li Ang's heart finally faded a little. He then briefly explained the general way to eat "soft rice" and asked Queen Veronica again if she minded this kind of utilization.

Hearing that the soft rice in Li Ang's mouth was actually a special "anomalous object" and involved such a wide range, Queen Veronica couldn't help but be startled. After pondering for a moment, she said:

"Li Ang, if it's just supplies and wealth, it's fine, but if it's soldiers and citizens, will there be danger if you mobilize them?"

"There will definitely be some, but in those truly dangerous scenarios, I won't mobilize people casually."

After taking stock of his opponents in his heart, Li Ang shook his head slightly:

"In the situations I usually have to deal with, ordinary armies shouldn't be of much help. If I really need a large number of people, I guess it would be for resettlement work or rescue-type things.

Other than that, it would be those scholars from the Korok Kingdom, but I wouldn't mobilize them directly; I would utilize the things they researched, mainly weapons with special effects or greater power."

"Then there's no problem."

After breathing a sigh of relief, Princess Veronica smiled and said:

"Mine is yours; mobilize whatever you need. If I can help you, it can be considered the kingdom contributing to protecting humanity... By the way, when you activate this anomalous object, do you need any cooperation from my side?"

"Uh... I need you to let me hug you."

Hug me?

After hearing Li Ang's words, Princess Veronica couldn't help but blink, then tentatively reached out and hugged Li Ang.

"Is this okay?"

"No."

After shaking his head, Li Ang coughed and said:

"I need to hug you from behind."

Hug from behind?

Queen Veronica's face flushed red upon hearing this, and she bit her lower lip gently, not speaking for a long time. But when the carriage rounded a corner, she quickly stood up and sat directly into Li Ang's arms.

So soft...

After being caught off guard and getting a full embrace, feeling the warm and full body in his arms, Li Ang subconsciously wrapped his arms around her waist, while Queen Veronica pulled the carriage's shade and whispered with shyness:

"And then? What else do I need to do?"

And then... it's the social death segment.

Thinking of what he was about to say, Li Ang's face couldn't help but flush slightly red. He lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and spoke with the smallest voice he had ever used in his life, like a mosquito's buzz:

"Good sister, I don't want to work hard anymore."
