Yu Ling thought that everything was over after seeing off the delegation.

The only point of contact between Yue Kingdom and Cangyang Kingdom is Nan Yuxiu. Sending an envoy to the two kingdoms is an admission of each other's current status. Not every ruler would casually exchange gifts.

Little did he know that, because of a single remark from a minor eunuch, Emperor Yue would actually head towards the Kingdom of Hu again!

Our two countries and one emperor, Yu Mouling, had just finished attending a court assembly here and rushed over there to check in. As soon as he sat down on the dragon throne of Shanghai, he started to doze off.

Halfway through, half-listening, I heard someone outside shouting, "The messenger is here to see me!"

Yu Ling: Didn't the envoy just come? Why is he here again?

When envoys arrive, the emperor doesn't actually need to nod or ask for any reason. As long as it's court time and the country isn't a country with deep-seated hatred, the envoys won't be turned away.

Even in a war between two armies, the envoy is not to be killed. In this world full of riddles, the identity of the envoy often becomes a disguise for time travelers.

Before Yu Ling could figure out what was wrong, the envoys arrived and stood in the open space directly in front of her, bowing respectfully.

Yu Ling: ...Why is this little dark-faced guy looking at me like that?

Emperor Yue: Good heavens! Is he hallucinating?! How can this Emperor Hu look exactly like Emperor Cangyang?!

"Hu Emperor, do you have some long-lost twin brother?"

Wait a minute, this doesn't make sense either. Emperor Cangyang came from their Yue Kingdom. Even if Emperor Hu is related to Emperor Cangyang, he is still a Yue Kingdom person. How come he has never met him before?

Yu Ling was almost "drenched in sweat".

How hasty! I didn't expect this turn of events. Why didn't he learn from other emperors who loved to put on airs and wear a mask when he went to court?!

"Ahem, how dare you! How dare you envoys discuss my private affairs so casually? Throw him out, throw him out!"

Emperor Yue and his delegation were slunk out, but the news that "Emperor Cangyang and Emperor Hu look exactly alike" still got out.

In fact, Yu Ling knew there were risks involved when he did this, but he thought he would wait a year until it was over before revealing his true colors and stop pretending. He would just treat it like a virus. Little did he expect that Emperor Yue would be the first to find out.

Upon hearing the news, Zhang Xiaofan and Nan Yuxiu went to find Yu Ling to get to the bottom of things.

Lan Si, Guan Yue, and Ke Lao were also a bit surprised. How come Yu Ling was becoming an emperor in another place?

Yu Ling could get away with anything else, but Lan Si was her number one support group, and a legitimate, physical member who could come and go as she pleased, so there was no way to hide it from him!

Oh no, it's turned into a complete mess. Yu Ling couldn't stand this, so she simply cosplayed as an escaped emperor, created an unchecked account, and ran away.

Once the physical entity was absorbed, it floated towards Nan Yuxiu's side, refusing to communicate with anyone. Let's wait until everyone calms down and investigates things thoroughly before we talk about anything else.

Nan Yuxiu: What a pleasant surprise! The biggest winner is actually me!!!

After spending time with Nan Yuxiu, Yu Ling discovered that he treated her much better than he had treated the original owner of this body. As long as she was by his side, she had the motivation to do anything.

Nan Yuxiu stopped asking questions and prevented Zhang Xiaofan from doing so. He even used the excuse that Emperor Cangyang was ill to cancel Yu Ling's court session, and reverted to being the considerate host he always was.

Aren't you angry? Your own system has secretly become powerful without including you?

Yu Ling floated beside Nan Yuxiu, watching him use his long, slender, fair hands to write down memorials, and she even saw a hint of imperial bearing in him.

I should have given the throne to him back then, since I didn't want to be emperor anyway.

Nan Yuxiu was in a great mood when he saw his beautiful commander, who wore a genuine smile every day. Even when dealing with others, he was a fraction lighter.

He gave Yu Ling a disapproving look and shook his head, saying, "You became the Emperor of Shanghai because of your own ability. I naturally have my own ways to become as excellent as you. How could I just be thinking about taking advantage of you?"

His voice was like pearls and jade, and he was a gentleman of impeccable manners. His demeanor was back to normal, just the kind of person Yu Ling liked.

Five lurking figures behind Yu Ling thought: Oh no, this native is trying to win her favor!!!

But how can a wild beast that can't be touched compare to a real person like Nan Yuxiu?

"You really don't blame me? Then tell me, what if, I mean what if, I had a friend who was hiding his identity and making friends with other people, and now that he can't hide his identity anymore, what do you think we should do?"

Yu Ling wasn't really unable to handle it; he just wanted to let things slack off for a few days. Asking this question was also a way of giving Nan Yuxiu a heads-up.

"Since you've already done it, you have to have the courage to bear the consequences. If you feel there's still a need to continue the relationship, be honest. If not, just disappear and let it go."

How heartless!

Yu Ling: Don't think I can't tell you're putting yourself in the former position, making me confess, and implying he should give Shanghai the cold shoulder!!!

"Okay, then I'll be honest, but you can't be angry," Yu Ling said. "Actually... I'm not like Xiaomi, the original system."

Nan Yuxiu: "I already guessed it."

Yu Ling continued, “I’m not even a system, just a useless data stream. If you bind me, I’ll just keep doing free work for you. My best skills are eating, drinking and having fun. That Shanghai Kingdom was something their empress insisted on giving me. I don’t care about anything.”

Nan Yuxiu: "If it were you, I would be happy to work for free."

Moreover, how could Yu Ling be completely useless?

At least it let him know what it feels like to fall in love for the first time, hehe (罒ω罒).

Want him to untie you? No way!

"You're determined to be tied to me? You won't regret it?"

Nan Yuxiu: "If you want, you can destroy this place."

Yu Ling was very curious as to why this person suddenly changed his tone. The smiling fox was suddenly so gentle, which was quite frightening!

However, the other party has already started applying to "confess their feelings".

“Before you had a physical body, you weren’t yourself. I won’t treat you badly because of those old things, and you don’t need to avoid me like this.”

Nan Yuxiu also knew that his disguise was too thick, making the US leader hesitant to trust him. He changed it.

"If you don't want to be emperor, I'll let you have your way. But can you please stop saying things that deliberately belittle yourself, Yu Ling?"

One heartfelt remark after another came out, and Yu Ling couldn't bear it any longer. "Fine, so that's what you're thinking. Then all that suffering I've endured for nothing?"

The host checked the accounts with his fake system and found that they actually admired each other.

Yu Ling wasn't intentionally avoiding him; she was simply lazy. Nan Yuxiu wanted to betray the original owner of this body, not the physically present Yu Ling.

This isn't a clear-cut two-way street!

In the end, Nan Yuxiu took the opportunity to keep Yu Ling, and Yu Ling returned to her physical form.
