"A harem, a harem overflowing." Yun Qi pinpointed this line perfectly: "Oh, that's fine too. After all, Li Muge, you're practically an empress now, what's wrong with having a few men!"
Li Muge nodded: "I didn't expect Yun Qi to become more and more sensible."
She calmly drank her tea.
(Sensible? What was that damned woman saying just now? I'm sensible, pshaw!)
(I knew this woman was just being a queen. Turns out, she has ulterior motives. This female rogue Ye has the nerve to have a harem. Why doesn't she just kill her?)
"Pfft." Li Muge couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea while listening to Yun Qi's rambling. Yun Qi lazily took out a handkerchief to wipe her face: "Guardian, don't blame me for speaking bluntly, but I really think that women should be more elegant. Someone like you, even if you had a harem, would probably not be able to enjoy it."
"It's alright, even if you can't enjoy it, this protector can still watch." Li Muge felt that she had found another way to relieve boredom. She was happy to see Yun Qi's calm expression on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.
Seeing Yun Qi so angry that he was about to jump up and down made Li Muge happy.
"Actually, the reason I, the Demon Lord, came to see you today is not just to inform you that I am about to ascend the throne as Empress. There is another reason, as you know, that now that I am Empress, I need a consort."
Yun Qi appeared indifferent, even pouring himself a cup of tea. In reality, his fingers, which were gripping the teacup, had turned discolored from being squeezed so tightly. He was trying his best to control himself and not lose his composure in front of Li Muge.
"Hmm, is that so? I really can't help with this choice. Please, Protector, return." Yun Qi said with a sullen face, wondering which man Li Muge truly favored.
Su Xun, or Cang Lan, is some new pretty boy.
I hadn't noticed this before!
Li Muge deliberately teased Yun Qi: "Demon Lord, I've heard that emperors in the mortal realm are chosen through a selection process, and this protector is also interested."
"Smack."
The poor teacup was completely crushed into dust by Yun Qi.
Li Muge remained remarkably calm and instructed the servant beside him, "Keep it in the account, and make the Demon Lord pay for it later."
After saying this, Li Muge teased, "How about it, Demon Lord? I learned all of this from you. Aren't you getting better and better at managing your life?"
Yun Qi practically ground her teeth to powder. Did this woman even know what she was saying? She actually wanted to hold a talent show.
How is that possible?
She dares!
Yun Qi immediately pictured a row of shameless men standing in front of the brazen Li Muge, lining up for Li Muge to choose from. He was so angry he almost flew into a rage.
Li Muge covered her mouth, trying hard not to laugh out loud. She cleared her throat and said, "So, this Demon Lord wants you to give me some advice on choosing a few handsome men."
"You don't know, I have already ordered people to build a harem. I must ensure that all three thousand concubines are included."
"Oh, whatever you want, I have nothing to do with protectors now anyway," Yun Qi said stubbornly.
Little did he know that all his pretense had already been exposed in front of Li Muge.
Li Muge pursed her lips: "Demon Lord, actually, I still prefer you for the position of Emperor's consort."
"What? How could I possibly want that? Li Muge, don't daydream." Yun Qi stood up abruptly, the moon-white robe he wore making him appear slightly aloof.
"Oh, I knew you wouldn't agree, Demon Lord. Then let's have a talent show. I don't believe we can't find a woman suitable to be my consort in the surrounding Three Realms." Li Muge patted his leg and prepared to leave, but as soon as he passed Yun Qi, his wrist was grabbed by Yun Qi.
"etc."
"Li Muge, I have now come to a decision. To prevent any strange men from being harmed by you, I am willing to be your consort. After all, if I don't go to hell, who will?"
"Hmm." Li Muge pursed her lips, her gaze falling on Yun Qi's wrist, which was still tightly gripping hers. She was still somewhat surprised: "It hasn't even been half an hour, and you've already figured it out, Demon Lord."
"Of course, I hope you can behave yourself, Li Muge, and stop always focusing on men, lest you taint my eyes." Yun Qi said this with a rather arrogant tone.
"Okay, don't worry." Having achieved her goal, Li Muge raised the corners of her lips and tiptoed to kiss Yun Qi's cheek: "I'm officially your husband in advance."
Li Muge's coronation ceremony was held in the Immortal Realm.
She lay under the starry sky of the Demon Realm for the last time, looking at the eternally dark Demon Realm, and felt a rare peace in her heart. Finally, she returned to the Immortal Realm.
(Li Muge, tell me what's so good about Yun Qi? How did you end up falling for him?) The voice of the alternate personality rang in Li Muge's mind.
"I don't know, that's why it's called 'love arises without knowing its origin, and deepens with each passing moment.'" Li Muge smiled. "Besides, won't our plans and ideals all be achieved by tomorrow?"
(But... Li Muge, you act so high-profilely, aren't you afraid that Wuchen might be up to some dirty tricks behind your back?) The secondary personality's considerations are not without merit.
Li Muge didn't speak, but slowly closed her eyes. Her intention was to lure Wuchen out and then kill him.
If she could, she would want to eliminate all the fear in Yun Qi's heart.
next day
In the celestial realm, Li Muge changed into a majestic black robe, and Su Xun rushed over, personally placing a crown on Li Muge's head.
"Third Brother, don't you think I'm being extremely rebellious?" Li Muge asked with a smile, but his eyes betrayed a hint of suspicion.
Su Xun tidied Li Muge's sideburns: "I don't think so. From beginning to end, the rules are set by the strong, so Muge, you must win in the end."
"Third Brother, thank you."
Li Muge raised his hand and looked at the solemn palace, which exuded an aura of authority without anger: "Third Brother, you said that things in this world are always so illusory. What if one day I can no longer distinguish between truth and falsehood?"
Su Xun concealed his deep affection for Li Muge: "If one day you really can't tell anymore, just listen to your own heart."
"Where our hearts lead us is the direction we strive for."
Hearing Su Xun's words, Li Muge felt much relieved of her suppressed emotions. Yes, it was what her heart desired.
What is she afraid of?
The seemingly peaceful coronation ceremony.
Li Muge sent out invitations throughout the Three Realms, and almost no one dared not to attend.
Wuchen was hidden among the guests, waiting for the perfect opportunity to kill Li Muge with a single blow, with the support of destiny behind him.
That makes sense; Wuchen is indeed the male protagonist of this novel.
How could the researchers in the main control room just stand by and watch Wuchen be suppressed by the villains and unable to turn the tide? Since they couldn't weaken Li Muge and Yun Qi's strength...
Then they will focus on enhancing Wuchen's strength, so that Li Muge will eventually die, which can be considered a perfect ending to the novel.
