"The situation is turning grim," one said.
"Hasn't it always been like this?" came the reply.
...
Eagles soar through the sky, fish dart in the shallow waters,...
"So, which one is happier?" Li Qianxia smiled like a little devil.
Yaochi no longer cared about her and said to Li Changzhou, "Hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait any longer!"
"...How do we do it?" Li Changzhou asked.
"...This is my first time too." Yaochi wasn't quite sure either. "How did you and Aferona do it?"
Li Qianxia has evidence to prove that the two were having an affair.
"The thought is what counts."
“Then I’ll give it a try,” Yaochi said.
Not only must Yaochi's feelings be conveyed, but Li Changzhou's feelings must also be conveyed.
Then, he found himself slightly conflicted, compared to when he accepted Aferona as his mistress without any qualms and established a relationship with Yaochi.
But amidst the dilemma, there was also a touch of joy.
It's like... like... everyone made plans to go out and have fun on Monday, and after a whole week, the weekend finally arrived.
A small flame flickered in my heart.
Philosophy of life, outlook on life...
"They've arrived!" A blush of excitement appeared on Yaochi's exquisitely fair face, making her even more radiant.
Hmm, it seems her previous happiness stemmed from the fact that the favored concubine was about to be more complete.
"How is it? Is it comparable to the Holy Master?" Li Qianxia asked hurriedly.
Yaochi displayed her instincts for the first time.
【Name: Favored Concubine】
[Type: Instinct]
[Quality: S]
[Special Effect: Being Pampered, Being Loved]
[Minimum usage requirement: Bound to a single player 'Yaochi']
[Introduction: 1. Harem - Domain. Within the domain, the favored concubine's abilities are enhanced tenfold in all aspects. Except for the king, no male can enter the domain;]
2. Imperial Edict - Issues a decree that all those whose abilities are inferior to the 'King' must obey;
3. Phoenix Carriage - A phoenix and a dragon pull the carriage, bringing auspicious omens from the heavens. The Phoenix Carriage can reach any time and space that the 'King' has been to.
4. Dragon and Phoenix Bring Auspiciousness - When the favored concubine and the king unite, both of them gain a certain amount of ability with each union. The more affectionate the king and concubine are, the greater the ability increase each time (currently, each ability increase is 10 points).
5. The Favored Concubine can bring back any item or living being from the 'Subway' or 'Ship' dungeons.
6. Favored by the King 2 - The favored concubine can use any 'King's' skills. The power and effect are determined by the degree of favor the concubine receives, up to 100% (currently: 50%).
7. A woman's charm will never be diminished;
8. Calamity - Depending on the level of favor, this can be used on the 'King' once every certain period of time, making the 'King' unconditionally grant one request (current time: once a year);
9. Official Residence - Can bestow titles upon thirty-six palace maids. Depending on their rank, each maid will receive a minimum of one percent of the favored concubine's abilities and a maximum of half. Palace maids can enter dungeons with the favored concubine and do not occupy player slots (Currently bestowed palace maids: 0);
[Note: Among the three thousand beauties in the imperial harem, all the emperor's favor was bestowed upon one.]
“The allure of the past has become an imperial decree, the seduction has become a direct order; before, you could only take items, now you can even bring people out of the dungeon…” Yaochi’s eyes sparkled with wonder.
"Brother, what about yours?!" Li Qianxia stared at Li Changzhou.
"No rush," Li Changzhou said calmly, not wanting to appear too concerned. "I'll settle the task first."
"You've already failed, and you're still asking for... chewing gum! Hurry up!" Li Qianxia wasn't going to be polite to him.
"...I've completed my side quest! I defeated Sun Wukong in [Defeating the Myth]!"
"Oh?" Yang Qinglan became interested. "Defeating Sun Wukong should bring a substantial reward."

"Brother, the comments are sarcastic towards you."
"Girl, you don't need to remind me."
“Brother, I think using ‘specially’ here is not good. We should use ‘deliberately’ instead. That would be more derogatory and let everyone know that I’m also being sarcastic towards you.”
"Why don't liberal arts students just die?"

"Brother, don't feel inferior. Two is just right. Too much is as bad as too little." Li Qianxia put her hand on Li Changzhou's shoulder to comfort him.
Li Changzhou slapped her hand away.
"The main quest failed, and my purchasing privileges are very low. Even if I complete the [Defeat Myth], it seems I won't be able to buy much," Yang Qinglan said softly, her breath sweet as orchids, close to Li Changzhou.
"Let's see," Li Changzhou said, suppressing the urge to kiss her hair.

"With the addition of mythological elements, and given your current strength, do you have a chance to ambush the Queen Mother?" Li Qianxia asked tentatively.
“It’s difficult,” Yaochi said. “The Queen Mother’s strength lies not only in her magical power, but also in her various supernatural abilities and experience.”
She had seen the memories transmitted by Li Changzhou and was very clear about the Queen Mother's methods.
Yang Qinglan was also deeply impressed; she was somewhat interested in the hidden world in the sleeve and the paper-cut human figures.
"Isn't there the option of becoming a king? Brother, take a look. Maybe there's a skill that allows you to rebel, like building a harem and taking the Queen Mother into your fold!"
The sister-in-law decided to take matters into her own hands, raising her ruyi scepter and hitting her sister-in-law on the forehead.
