Should I Just Give In?

Hearing the voice behind him, Bai Luoming stopped in his tracks. Even though he was only one simple step away from freedom, it seemed that it was not so simple after all.

Bai Luoming sighed softly, slowly turned to face Tingyun and Yaoguang, clasped his hands together at his chest, and said in a flattering tone:

"Sisters, I am just a Nameless, and it's really not worth making such a fuss over. I wonder if you two could be so kind as to let me off the hook?"

Although his words were full of sincerity, Tingyun and Yaoguang did not speak, and even tightened their grip on his shoulders.

At this moment Tingyun turned her head to look at Yaoguang, Yaoguang also turned her face to the side. The two met each other's gazes through Bai Luoming.

Tingyun and Yaoguang, who were previously fighting to the death, now seem to be on the verge of reconciliation.

After a brief exchange of glances, Tingyun and Yaoguang smiled at each other, as if they had reached some kind of agreement.

Seeing this, Bai Luoming couldn't help but shrink back. Clearly, the current situation was developing in a way that was beyond his expectations. No matter what agreement the two had reached, he didn't seem to be in a good position.

After a brief eye contact with Yaoguang, Tingyun's gaze shifted to Bai Luoming, her tail wagging behind her.

She knew better than anyone how precious this moment was, and she believed that Yaoguang, as a strategist, would not waste this great opportunity to compete here.

As for the so-called "official wife"? Heh, who would want that? Anyone with a bit of intelligence who can see the current situation clearly knows that the so-called "official wife" is nothing but a shackle that binds people; staying on top of it will only make them arrogant.

With so many competitors, Tingyun naturally wouldn't waste such a great opportunity to compete here; she had to consider whether this might be her only chance in her life.

Just as Tingyun deep in thought, Yaoguang stepped forward, passed by Bai Luoming's shoulder, and gently closed the door.

With a click, the door locked shut, leaving only the sound of the three people breathing in the room.

Hearing the voice behind him, Bai Luoming subconsciously took a step back, but he didn't expect that this step would lead him into a warm and soft embrace.

At this moment, Yaoguang had already circled behind him, facing Bai Luoming's back, and Bai Luoming's step back bumped right into her arms.

Faced with Bai Luoming's offer of himself, Yaoguang naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony. She stretched out her hands, tightly hooked her arms around Bai Luoming's neck, pressed her body against his back, and pulled him into her embrace.

Feeling the person in his arms seem a little stiff, Yaoguang's lips curled up slightly, and he whispered in Bai Luoming's ear, his breath sweet as orchids.

"But we don't want to let you go, what should we do? Otherwise, little brother, you should just obediently give in to your sister."

Yaoguang's words rang in Bai Luoming's ears, bringing with them warm breath that landed on his ear. Feeling the soft touch from behind, he was momentarily distracted.

Or should we just give in?

After all, one is a wealthy woman from the Xianzhou, and the other is a general from the Jade Abacus Xianzhou. Both of them are rich and powerful, so no matter how you look at it, he is the one who benefits the most.

However, the thought had barely crossed his mind when it was shattered by a certain lady with a pointed hat in his head. Bai Luoming couldn't help but think that if he really gave in, the Herta would definitely break his legs and lock him in Little Black Room!

As if a deadly sense of crisis struck, Bai Luoming's mind cleared up, and even his erotic thoughts faded somewhat.

Bai Luoming raised his hand and pried Yaoguang's wrist off, forcibly breaking free from her embrace. For some reason, Bai Luoming felt a little reluctant to leave Yaoguang's grasp.

Feeling Bai Luoming's strength, Yaoguang was somewhat surprised. Although she was a strategist and not as strong as the warriors, she was still Reignbow Celestial General. It was not so easy for someone to break free from her embrace.

Thinking of this, Yaoguang sighed inwardly. Clearly, the forced contingency plan had been completely erased from her mind at this moment.

Then, as if she had thought of something else, Yaoguang's cheeks flushed red, and her eyes turned even more malicious as she looked at Bai Luoming.

After breaking free from Yaoguang's embrace, Bai Luoming chuckled twice and spoke.

"Well, it's tiring for us to stand and talk, why don't we sit down and chat? We can discuss anything then."

As Bai Luoming spoke, his gaze swept across the entire duty room. After a brief consideration, his eyes settled on the row of chairs leaning against the wall.

Once he had identified his target, he ignored everyone else's reactions, walked straight to the chair, plopped down in the middle of the row of chairs, and draped his arm over the back of the chair.

This position is perfect; he can attack or retreat as needed. If things go wrong, he can simply roll out the window and jump out.

Bai Luoming's plan was undoubtedly brilliant, but unfortunately, the two people present were not to be trifled with either. Tingyun saw through Bai Luoming's thoughts at a glance.

However, Tingyun didn't expose her. She walked lightly towards Bai Luoming and sat down on his left side in a very natural and generous manner.

At the same time, Tingyun placed its fluffy tail on Bai Luoming's lap, the tip of its tail swishing back and forth in front of him, constantly attracting his attention.

Yaoguang naturally saw through Bai Luoming's thoughts. She walked to his right at a leisurely pace, flicked her clothes, and sat down, leaning against Bai Luoming's arm. As if she felt that this was beneath her dignity, Yaoguang even pulled Bai Luoming's hand, which was resting on the back of the chair, down and placed it on her shoulder.

Bai Luoming stared at the fox tail in front of him, his expression froze, and he subconsciously wanted to pull back his hands and rub it hard a few times, but his strong willpower quickly dispelled the idea.

Stay calm, this is just a test from a bad woman.

He took a deep breath, forcibly averting his gaze from the fox's tail, and spoke to the two of them:

"Sisters, this room is so big, do we really need to go to all this trouble? You're making me feel like a prisoner."

Upon hearing this, Tingyun raised her hand to cover her mouth and chuckled softly, causing her fluffy fox ears on her head to twitch twice.

"If my benefactor were honest and straightforward, I would naturally not need to do this."

She drew out the last syllable, glancing at Bai Luoming as she continued:

"But now, it's hard to say."

Yaoguang chimed in, saying:

"Miss Tingyun is right."

"If you were willing to accept us honestly, all this trouble would be unnecessary."

Hearing the two of them exchanging barbs, Bai Luoming sighed and said helplessly:

"My two sisters, why do this? To be honest, I don't know you at all. I have no idea what your personalities are like, what you like, or what you dislike. I don't even understand you, so how can I accept you?"

Yaoguang leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, his eyes fixed on him.

Whether you know me or not is unimportant.

"Knowing you is enough."

Bai Luoming's eyes widened, and he leaned back, his back pressed firmly against the chair back.

"This isn't right, is it?"

"How can you calculate it like that? According to your logic, if I bump into someone on the street, someone I know but who doesn't know me, I can just drag them home? That's robber logic, General!"

Before Yaoguang could answer, Tingyun took advantage of his leaning back and pressed herself against him, half of her body softly resting on his arm, her head tilting to the side and resting on his shoulder.

"It doesn't matter that my benefactor has no Remembrance of the past."

Tingyun her head on his shoulder, her voice soft and sweet as she continued.

"But I do have one."

"Those Remembrance from the past are so deeply etched in my mind, how could I possibly give them up so easily?"

"But now--"

Before he could finish speaking, Tingyun gently pressed a finger to his lips.

Tingyun withdrew her hand, her smile fading slightly, and her expression becoming more serious.

"If my benefactor wants to talk about how pure his love is, then forget it."

Bai Luoming was taken aback and wanted to continue speaking, but the finger covering his mouth prevented him from saying anything more.

Tingyun glanced down at Bai Luoming and continued:

"If my benefactor intends to say something like that he has someone else in his heart, then please refrain from doing so."

As she spoke, she placed her hands back on her knees, and wrapped her tail around Bai Luoming's waist.

"I'm not like some people who would fight to the death for the position of the empress."

Bai Luoming was stunned.

Don't want the main wife?

Isn't that the position that everyone fights tooth and nail for in harem novels? How come she's willingly giving it up?

"Why?"

Tingyun's eyes swept over him, scrutinizing him from head to toe, before she finally let out a soft sigh.

"Given my benefactor's current state, I know what the future holds for him."

"To become the empress? That's incredibly difficult. I only wish to stay by my benefactor's side, that's enough."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked in the other direction through Bai Luoming.

"If I believe that, then the general's thoughts are probably the same as mine."
