“Teacher, oh teacher… after so many years of running, you never expected a day like this, did you?” Bai Luoxia looked at Sui Ming, who was kneeling before her, with a smile.
“I… I really need that thing… so can’t you…?”
“Do you know, Sui Ming? Everything follows the principle of exchange, equivalent substitution. You must be clear on the basic principles of alchemy, right?”
“Then… then what do you want?”
Tapping her chin with a finger, after a moment of thought—Bai Luoxia’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“How about we take it a step further? Or rather…” The girl crooked a finger.
“I want… your body…” The girl licked her lips, then slowly moved closer to Sui Ming.
“You! Don’t you come over here!”
As for why things had escalated to this point? We’ll have to see the analysis below.
After such an absurd morning scene, Sui Ming walked towards the palace looking as if he hadn’t fully woken up.
Surveying the surrounding ruins, Sui Ming couldn’t help but marvel at the destructive power of these Abyssal Apostles.
It was as if an excavator had been at work, truly unparalleled.
“Dead crow! Where are you?” Sui Ming roared into the surroundings.
“Here, here, what’s up? Your lovely and charming crow sister is online again.”
“You damn well explain to me what the hell just happened!”
“Why do I have Sui Ming’s memories!”
“It’s… it’s the integration between soul and body, simply put, this body is merging with your soul, so memories and such will also overlay.”
“It won’t turn into some memory replacement trick later, will it?”
“That won’t happen. In any case, it’s all beneficial and harmless. In the end, all the memories of this body will be superimposed with your own memories; it won’t affect you.”
“Besides, isn’t this a great way for you to quickly understand this world?”
‘I somehow feel it’s not the case…’ Sui Ming looked suspiciously at the crow, who, in turn, appeared unconcerned, even humming an unknown tune.
Seeing the crow looking as if it wished him dead, Sui Ming’s anger instantly maxed out.
“Die!!”
After failing to strangle a certain crow, Sui Ming stepped out of the palace.
Immediately, a dazzling blue light flashed, and a man in white suddenly appeared beside Sui Ming.
“Apologies, Mr. Sui Ming, you cannot leave the palace yet.”
“Huh? What? Why not?”
“By order of Her Royal Highness, you are still recuperating. For your safety, you cannot leave the palace.”
“Rest assured, the palace has the most advanced medical facilities; you can live here with peace of mind.”
‘Peace of mind my ass!’ Sui Ming couldn’t help but roar internally.
This was clearly Bai Luoxia’s doing! What “unhealed injuries,” what “need for recuperation”? This was just her reason to control him tightly!
“Bai Luoxia! Let me go, damn you!!!”
“What’s wrong, Teacher? I’m doing this for your own good.” A blue light materialized into Bai Luoxia’s figure.
“You’re restricting my personal freedom! I’m going to find a lawyer and sue you!”
To find a lawyer in a kingdom of order to sue the princess of order—no one but Sui Ming could come up with such an idea.
“Wuwuwu… Teacher, do you really not want to stay with me?” The girl put on a tearful expression.
“That… that’s not it… it’s just that I can’t stay here forever, can I? You have to give me some free time, right?”
“Mmm… that makes sense, but you have to promise me one thing: don’t run away without a word like last time.”
“Otherwise… hehe…”
‘I just have a really bad feeling about this.’
“Alright, fine, I promise you.” Sui Ming sighed helplessly.
“Mm-hmm, Teacher is so good~”
“You may let him go.” The girl commanded the prosecutor, who belonged to the [White Dove].
And so, Sui Ming swaggered out.
Walking down the main street of Mingxi City, various stalls had been set up again.
The reconstruction of the entire Mingxi City was proceeding in an orderly manner under the command of the White Dove. Countless figures in white could be seen bustling about the streets, selflessly contributing to this city that was embracing new life.
“I say… why are you following me?”
“Ah? As a princess, can’t I check on my subjects?” Bai Luoxia tilted her head towards Sui Ming, then stuck out her tongue.
“I’m really done with you…”
For some reason, Sui Ming seemed to feel hostility from the people around him.
Ever since Bai Luoxia had almost single-handedly dominated in the Mirror Realm, her reputation in Mingxi City had soared unprecedentedly, even surpassing the current Empress, Bai Luoxia’s aunt—Bai Yunqing.
But the Empress had no objections to this; on the contrary, she wished Bai Luoxia’s popularity would surpass hers, making it easier for her to ascend to the throne.
‘Whoever wants this shitty emperor’s job can have it, I’m retiring!’—those were her exact words.
“Who is that next to Her Royal Highness?”
“Why do they look so close?”
“Wuwuwu—my goddess has been defiled.”
Sui Ming was beyond commenting on this.
‘I’m the one who’s been defiled, alright!’
The girl linked her arm through Sui Ming’s, looking as if she had never seen the world before.
“Boss! One popsicle!”
“Coming right up! It’s Her Royal Highness, and this is…?”
“A friend, a male friend.” The girl replied with a smile.
“Young man, you’re quite fortunate to have a friend like Her Royal Highness. She’s countless people’s dream girl, if you put in a little more effort…”
“Maybe you’ll win her over…” The uncle whispered to Sui Ming.
“Haha… ha—”
‘Uncle, you don’t know, she’s not the one who was won over, I was!’
Sui Ming was too weary to complain further. Fine, he’d just treat it as a day of shopping with this girl; after all, it was time to relax.
“Let’s go~” The girl intimately hooked her left arm through Sui Ming’s, while her other hand waved a popsicle in the air.
“Alright, alright, my lady~”
Suddenly, Sui Ming felt something cold in his mouth.
With a flushed face, the girl raised her arm and shoved a popsicle into Sui Ming’s mouth.
“Try it, it’s a specialty of Mingxi City.”
Sui Ming was startled by this sudden attack, and then he seemed to realize something.
“You… didn’t you just…”
“What about it? It’s not the first time, why care?” Bai Luoxia smiled playfully.
“You!…” For a moment, Sui Ming was speechless.
This scene was truly hard for this old-fashioned man, who in two lifetimes combined had never spent more than an hour dating, to handle.
Others in novels take the initiative, but him? No way, he was purely led on by others.
‘Forget it, just take it as a benefit from a beautiful girl.’
If anyone knew Sui Ming was thinking this, they might just slap him in the face with a knife the next second.
‘Someone’s throwing themselves at you, and you’re still so ungrateful? Do you want them to just force themselves on you to be satisfied?’
Of course, that part wasn’t entirely absent.
