Just as the two girls were struggling with their decision, Long Xun's voice echoed in their hearts: "You can decide for yourselves."

The two girls couldn't help but look up at Long Xun's legs, then looked at each other, whispered something to each other, and then jumped to the ground.

This already indicates that they will stay for a while.

Long Xun's enormous figure slowly shrank, and finally, among the crowd, between two girls, one cold and beautiful and the other gentle and graceful, stood a handsome man with an ethereal and otherworldly air. He wore a white robe with black shoulder pads and hidden gold threads, dragon horns on his head, a tail behind him, silver hair, and golden vertical pupils. The wind blew, causing his wide sleeves, robe hem, and silver hair gathered at the back of his head by a strangely shaped but beautiful hair crown to sway gently.

Its aloofness is as penetrating as a snow lotus blooming on distant snow-covered mountains, and as distant as a wisp of white cloud drifting in the sky, forever out of reach.

These two sentences were originally used to describe Ximen Chuixue's ruthlessness and Ye Gucheng's otherworldly appearance... but now, people who see Long Xun can only use these two sentences to describe him.

A being that perfectly blends coldness and otherworldliness.

Basically, after Yin Chen invited Long Xun Gu Nu Chen Ziqi and the other two to dinner, and they sat down at the dining area, the eunuchs, maids and guards still found it hard to control their gazes and avoid showing any infatuation.

The emperor's arrogance lies in the fact that whenever you casually mention wanting to eat, a complete banquet can be prepared within minutes.

Yin Chen had changed into a set of imperial robes. The dark-colored clothes made the handsome young man with his youthful face and smiling face appear much more mature.

A delicious and visually appealing meal was laid out, with a maid or eunuch standing respectfully beside each person, waiting to serve them food.

The Gu Nu and Chen Ziqi suddenly remembered the perverse settings of the imperial banquets in TV dramas... What to do, they suddenly lost their appetite!

Before the two women could say anything, Long Xun suddenly spoke up: "Eat if you can, leave if you can't. These people are just getting in the way."

Yin Chen stiffened slightly, then chuckled and brushed it off, waving his hand to dismiss the others from the table. Only then did the three people opposite him relax a little.

Both Gu Nu and Chen Ziqi regretted staying. The atmosphere in the palace was too oppressive. The eunuchs and maids were all standing behind people. Even if they weren't staring at them, the two of them were now very perceptive and still felt very uncomfortable.

No wonder the royal family in novels often has psychological abnormalities; it's hard not to become abnormal when you're always the center of attention.

After eating a meal without tasting anything, when dessert was served, Yin Chen smiled and struck up a conversation with Long Xun: "A-Xun, many people saw you escorting me back to the palace. What did you think of their reactions?"

Long Xun slightly raised his eyes, his golden vertical pupils looking into Yin Chen's eyes.

Yin Chen's smile remained unchanged: "Every time A-Xun reveals her true form, or even her current appearance, she frightens ordinary people. Of course, if someone recognizes A-Xun as a divine being, that's fine, but there will always be some fools in this world. If they mistake A-Xun for a monster..."

“They can’t hurt me.” Long Xun always went straight to the point. If negotiations failed, he would use force to intimidate. If force didn’t work, he would kill one person and find another to negotiate with. If none of that worked, he would deal with it himself. Although it was troublesome, it was extremely simple and effective. Basically, the reason why the Dragon Group in the first world could adhere to the principles proposed by Long Xun was because they had gone through this rhythm of negotiating with one group, intimidating another, and then killing another.

This emperor, however, spoke in a completely different way. He was adept at circling around the issue, setting traps, and ultimately achieving his goals. But until he uttered his last words, you didn't even know what his intentions were. And most of the time, even after he uttered his last words, you still didn't quite understand what he wanted.

When these two extremes met and chatted, Yin Chen was fine, but Long Xun felt extremely impatient. Fortunately, however, the stronger party always suppressed the weaker one in the conversation, and the stronger party had the right to decide how the conversation should proceed.

Regardless of martial prowess or Yin Chen's feelings, Long Xun undoubtedly holds the most dominant position.

Sensing Long Xun's impatience, Yin Chen immediately stopped his buildup and revealed his plan: "Why don't you stay and serve as the guardian beast and the national advisor?"

Long Xun's brows furrowed slightly, but Yin Chen waved his hand and said with a smile, "Don't be so quick to refuse. You saw what those people were saying just now, Xun. There are quite a few people who want my life." For an emperor to disappear as soon as he left the city while traveling incognito, one can imagine how dangerous his situation is right now.

"I can no longer trust the people around me, and I can't find anyone else to use in this crisis. If Ah Xun leaves and something really happens one day, I'll be left with no one to turn to... If the people are displaced and the world is in turmoil, then I will be a sinner for all eternity!" Yin Chen's smiling expression gradually faded, and his eyes revealed heaviness and sorrow, fully demonstrating his concern for the country and its people in front of Long Xun Gu Nu and Chen Ziqi.

However, the changes in his facial expressions were very layered, nuanced, and profound, without being overly forceful or appearing exaggerated, artificial, or comical. That look in his eyes, slightly warm with reminiscence, followed by a sudden firmness, was like a promise he had made, full of meaning and leaving room for the audience's imagination.

'This acting is amazing...' the Gu woman exclaimed in amazement.

"He should at least be an Oscar-winning actor," Chen Ziqi remarked.

'But the problem is...' The two girls' brainwaves were in sync for a moment, their expressions were upright and their bodies were straight, only their eyes glanced sideways at Long Xun, who was listening intently to Yin Chen's nonsense.
