Even if we let Qingque taste the saltiness today, we won't let you steal a single bite.
"Um... cough, in that case, I'll take my leave."
To be fair, Feixiao did somewhat want to save Qingque, but judging from the atmosphere... he would definitely do it next time.
Well, Feixiao thinks that a gambler might not behave himself after being beaten once.
She will save them again next time something like this happens.
Thinking this, Feixiao grabbed Yelan and immediately pulled her away.
I'll reluctantly take care of Yelan; it'll at least ease my subtle sense of guilt.
Yelan knew that the situation was hopeless, so she could only purse her lips and obediently get out of bed with Feixiao and leave.
"Hehe... I've actually witnessed a rather interesting scene."
Illusion Moon, like an ancient empress, rested her chin on her hand and commented.
But Illusion Moon's eyes were also fixed on Kafka, the Stellaron Hunters.
After all... the Antimatter Legion is also searching for star cores.
However, having no responsibilities to bear, Illusion Moon simply looked at Kafka in a normal way.
Kafka looked at Illusion Moon with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Illusion Moon... She knew about the Lord of Destruction, but seeing him actually appear before her eyes was something else entirely.
Hmm... The oppressive aura emanating from his every move is truly befitting of the Lord of Destruction.
So, how can we trick the Lord of Destruction?
Kafka had already started making plans in her mind.
Illusion Moon seemed to sense something, and the smile on his face became slightly dangerous.
"It seems you and La Signora. Illusion Moon get along very well, so we won't disturb you any longer, Boss."
Kafka decided to avoid confrontation for the time being.
After ruffling Qingque's hair, he got up and left, leaving Qingque behind.
Rita wanted to stay, but Acheron had already looked over.
Okay, okay, so you two are planning a honeymoon tonight, is that right?
Rita left, feeling annoyed.
She needs to find a way to suppress Acheron.
"... Hmph, you've got some nerve."
Illusion Moon shrank back into Liu Bai's body.
"Shouldn't mortals be sleeping at this time?"
"Go to sleep..."
Liu Bai's lips twitched as he looked at Acheron, who was still fiddling with his toys.
"Tail, do you really think I'll be able to sleep tonight?"
(Who's the tail? Don't call me that stupid name.)
Illusion Moon was confused, but then looked at Acheron.
(Hmph... Utterly boring.)

The next day
"... Ah, I never expected that the first thing I would see when I woke up would be you."
"Then I'll disappear from your sight?"
Illusion Moon, floating in front of Liu Bai, pouted.
"It seems I have disturbed your enjoyment, Lord Liu Bai."
"It's really disturbing to be wearing clothes at this time."
Liu Bai retorted while putting on his clothes.
As for Acheron next to him, Liu Bai saw that she was sleeping quite soundly, so he didn't bother to wake her.
"..."
To be honest, Illusion Moon hasn't encountered being rebuffed like this in a long time.
Good news, Liu Bai doesn't treat her like an outsider.
The bad news is that Liu Bai really doesn't treat her like an outsider.
What can you do if you get a rebuttal? Just bear it, after all, you just reached an agreement with Liu Bai yesterday.
No matter what, she and Liu Bai are currently in their "honeymoon period".
Illusion Moon turned her head away, looking like she didn't want to continue the discussion.
However, Liu Bai seemed unaware of Illusion Moon's concession.
"You seemed a bit reserved last night Illusion Moon."
What does it mean to be 'open-minded'?
Illusion Moon to Liu Bai, was somewhat displeased by Liu Bai's words.
"Hmm... well, I feel Illusion Moon, must have a lot of experience, right?"
Liu Bai stroked his chin and spoke his mind.
"Something like a veteran of countless battles?"
"... Don't use your vulgar mind to speculate about me." Illusion Moon rubbed his forehead, his expression becoming even more displeased. "No, it should be, don't use those clichéd ideas to speculate about Suiyang Race."
"But Suiyang Race seems to have very strong desires, doesn't he?"
"..."
That cannot be refuted.
"... I am different from ordinary Suiyang Race."
Normally Suiyang Race live to consume emotions.
She eats emotions in order to live.
The difference is huge!
... Although if she were to say it out loud, she would seem even more low-class.
However, even if we take a step back, her job is to destroy civilization, not to satisfy her appetite!
"Suiyang Race..." Bai still seemed very curious, "By the way, can Suiyang Race share the host's senses?"
"..."
Although it was ostensibly a question, it sounded more like harassment.
Whether as Suiyang Race or as Emanator, this was a first for her.
Although she occasionally encountered similar situations during the destruction of civilizations, that was a different matter from knowingly committing a crime.
Moreover, she looked down on those ants.
How dare this trash insult her?
Illusion Moon's face was dark, and he didn't say a word.
Write this down in a little notebook, and after this grand scheme is over... it's best not to let her seize the opportunity!
"Tsk, passive-aggressive behavior." Bai shrugged indifferently at Illusion Moon's reaction.
It was just a little exploration of Illusion Moon —though it was genuine curiosity.
"You'd better keep your distance," Illusion Moon explained with a dark expression.
She's only willing to explain now because of the current special circumstances; otherwise, she'd take action.
"We've already been intimate at close range, it's too awkward to talk about distance now," Bai said, feigning resentment.
"..."
Illusion Moon wanted to curse, but considering his identity, Illusion Moon held back.
Especially at times like these, we must maintain our composure, otherwise Liu Bai might become increasingly presumptuous.
... Does this man really think he can tame the Emanator?
Ignorant of one's own limitations.
(... Just think of it as being bitten by an insect.)
Thinking of this, Illusion Moon continued to maintain her elegant and aloof demeanor.
Wearing a gorgeous palace dress, she truly looked every bit the part of an empress.
"Never mind, where's Qingque?" Seeing that Illusion Moon was ignoring him, Bai stopped testing Illusion Moon's limits and asked a normal question instead.
"There." Illusion Moon pointed to the doorway.
Qingque was lying on the bed with her front lower than her back, and she looked like she was still sleeping.
"This girl is quite adaptable; she actually fell asleep last night."
"You're not asleep?" Bai seemed to have picked up on a hidden meaning.
"Suiyang Race doesn't need to sleep."
Illusion Moon replied coldly.
Liu Bai shrugged, not wanting to argue with Illusion Moon. After getting dressed, he got up and walked to Qingque's side.
"Speaking of which, this outfit..."
Looking at Qingque's unseemly sleeping posture, Liu Bai suddenly realized something.
—Qingque was wearing a black woolen overcoat, not her usual clothes.
Last night, the image of Qingque Er on the skirt shocked the Emu Rin. As for the problem with Qingque's clothes, it was obvious that she was wearing something thicker since it was cold at night.
But now that Liu Bai has gotten closer, he suddenly makes a new discovery.
—Could Qingque have really lost all his underwear?
This coat looks like the one I bought with Kafka before.
Would Kafka be so kind as to put the coat on Qingque?
... It must be admitted that Kafka certainly had a kind side to her heart.
But even with Qingque like this, Kafka's kindness definitely didn't extend to this child.
So...
Liu Bai slightly pulled down the collar of his coat.
... really white.
Liu Bai silently withdrew his gaze.
Just as I imagined—could Kafka's so-called debt include the cost of the clothes?
We'll win your clothes, then give you another piece on credit at an exorbitant price...
Kafka, that woman is really... cough cough, I'll have to keep an eye on my wife from now on.
We can't keep resorting to these underhanded tactics.
Liu Bai calmed down and then gently slapped Qingque's bottom twice.
"Mmm..."
Oh, I forgot to take out the blindfold and bridle for this child.
