He rolled around on the bed for a couple of times, and when he turned his head, he made eye contact with Bai Xingluo, who was standing at the foot of the bed.
“Your Majesty, you’ve finally returned; shouldn’t we celebrate?”
“Hmm, how do you plan to celebrate?”
Tong Sui was deep in thought when suddenly a cool touch brushed against his lips, and he found himself face-to-face with Bai Xingluo’s enlarged visage.
Bai Xingluo gazed deeply into his eyes.
“Actually, you don’t have to think too much. To me, you are already the best reward,” he said, and leaned in again to kiss Tong Sui deeply.
In the following moments, the system was once again forced into “mosaic time”, leaving it to chat with its little partners in boredom.
As soon as it entered the chatting interface, it saw the Romance System complaining.
Romance System: I’m really speechless. The host assigned to me had a successful mission, but he wouldn’t listen to advice, insisting on forming a harem. He was caught cheating by his target, stabbed on the spot, and his ashes were ground into powder—just short of mixing it with rice.
Dragon Overlord System: What are you talking about? The host I’m bound to just lays flat all day. Several missions have long past their three-year deadline, and some villains have even died of old age. He doesn’t budge at all, and actually tells me the truth of life is to lie flat??
After glancing at this tragic situation, the system silently closed the chat window, and even the current mosaic seemed more charming.
As long as they could complete the mission, what was it to date a villain? What was a mosaic?
Completing the mission was the true truth!
When night fell, Tong Sui’s light brain rang.
A hand reached out and tapped to connect.
Lu Yunyi said, “Your Highness Tong Sui, the net has been cast. Would you like to come and take a look?”
“He’s asleep.”
Lu Yunyi paused and hesitantly asked, “…General Bai Xingluo?”
“Yes.”
Bai Xingluo lowered his head, taking a long glance at the already asleep Tong Sui, and wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes with his fingers. “The Emperor is tired. Let Xie Feibai keep a close watch on them; tomorrow, I will go with the Emperor.”
After saying that, he ended the communication.
Lu Yunyi stood in place, dazed.
A subordinate next to him asked, “When will His Highness Tong Sui come?”
Lu Yunyi recalled Bai Xingluo’s words and the unusual hoarseness and satisfaction in his voice; he suddenly realized something, and his face turned instantly hot.
They wouldn’t have gone back to… you know.
“What’s wrong with you? Your face looks very red?”
“Cough, it’s nothing.” Lu Yunyi replied, “His Highness Tong Sui has worked too hard; he can’t come today.”
“Oh, is that okay? Should we send a doctor over?”
“The bug more useful than a doctor is already nearby.”
Lu Yunyi recalled the mental energy he had sensed earlier, the soothing feeling made his mind go blank for a few seconds.
Realizing that if he thought further, something would go wrong, Lu Yunyi shook his head to chase away unnecessary thoughts.
He turned to his subordinate and said, “Let’s go in and take a look at those rebels.”
“You guys have no right to treat me like this,” Lu Ting heard footsteps approaching. “How come it’s you? Hurry up and let me go.”
“No.”
“You must have listened to Tong Sui. Where is he? Let him come see me.”
“He doesn’t have time to see you right now. You should reflect on what you’ve done,” Lu Yunyi said. “Oh, I forgot to tell you, Yu Guangji has also been captured.”
A flicker of panic flashed in Lu Ting’s eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and argued, “I was framed! It was him, Tong Sui set me up to climb the ranks. You actually side with him!”
“Are you talking about yourself?” Lu Yunyi replied, “You can wait until tomorrow to speak about this to all the citizens of the Empire and see who will believe you.”
After saying this, Lu Yunyi turned and left without looking back.
Tong Sui was awakened by a fragrant smell, groggily rolling over in bed.
System: [Good morning, host.]
Tong Sui furrowed his brows, his eyes still sour from crying, and hesitated, “Why are you suddenly so enthusiastic today?”
System: [Am I? I’ve always been like this ( *￣︶￣)]
How strange.
Tong Sui climbed up; although he didn’t feel particularly unwell, the sudden increase in frequency of these matters made his biological clock feel a bit off.
He opened his light brain and discovered that Lu Yunyi had called him yesterday.
Tong Sui didn’t remember when it ended, but he must have fallen asleep by then; it should have been Luo Luo who picked up for him.
Afterward, Lu Yunyi sent some updates about the press conference; one had to admit, Lu Yunyi was indeed a man of action.
Tong Sui called back.
This time, it connected almost immediately. Lu Yunyi was neatly dressed, and the press conference stage was set up behind him.
“Good morning, Your Highness Tong Sui,” Lu Yunyi said. “How did you sleep yesterday?”
“Sorry, a bit of a situation yesterday. Thank you for your hard work these past few days.”
Lu Yunyi looked at Tong Sui on the screen, clearly just out of bed, with disheveled clothing unable to hide the red marks on his neck and the blush around his eyes.
He looked for two seconds before hearing the sound of a door opening behind him.
Bai Xingluo walked over wearing an apron, and the warmth surrounding him turned cold when he looked at Lu Yunyi.
Then he walked to the bedside, taking a fluffy blanket and wrapping Tong Sui entirely, leaving only his head exposed.
Bai Xingluo’s tone softened, “Your Majesty, go wash up. I’ll talk with him here.”
“Oh, oh.”
Tong Sui obediently left.
Once the door behind him closed, Bai Xingluo’s aura completely turned cold; even in an apron, he couldn’t hide his chilling presence.
He coldly said, “Next time, contact me directly. Talk to me about anything.”
