But he had to admit that Su Qingxiao's words did make some sense. At least Levi couldn't say that he didn't need the help of the Blue Mercury natives at all.
"What do you mean by closing the distance?"
Levi looked at the woman and asked, "I've provided so much advanced technology, shouldn't those natives be grateful and thankful? How dare they smear me? Do I have to inflict fear and darkness on them to regain their conscience?"
"That's not what I meant, Your Majesty!"
Su Qingxiao quickly explained, "What I mean is, if Your Majesty were to lower your stance a bit and show some willingness to integrate and become more approachable, you could dispel a considerable amount of doubt, win more support, and even render opponents powerless. They would have to lower their guard and lose any excuse to smear us."
"And this is the best way to promote the closest cooperation between the two civilizations."

Instead, he quickly calmed down, as if he saw through Su Qingxiao at a glance, and said with a cold snort:
"Su Qingxiao, you asked me for help in having a child a few days ago, and today you're suggesting this awful idea of marriage. What on earth are you dreaming of? Humph, will I fall for your tricks? Haha, you've only been with me for a short time, and yet you've developed so many little ideas."
My heart skipped a beat.
A bubble in Su Qingxiao's heart seemed to burst. She was seen through so easily.
But she did not fall into despair. Instead, she gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and decided to go all out!
Then, she made an extremely bold move and pounced on him.
