You're Quite Amazing

Murong looked at Zhou Yuanbao and Mu Jinyin and said softly, "They are stronger than ordinary Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan members, and their talent is also higher. Cultivate them well, and they will be a great help to you in the future."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "They already call me 'father'. Even if they were useless, I'd have to cultivate them well!"

He didn't know much about the Dragon Clan or the Phoenix Clan, but the fact that they had reached a realm that others might not reach in a lifetime right from birth was already impressive.

However, this was also normal. These two eggs were specifically cultivated by Du Tianhong and his wife, so their talent was bound to be high.

Murong nodded slightly, covering her mouth as she chuckled, "They call me 'mother' too, so I have to do my part."

Zhou Hao was stunned. With a wave of Murong's sleeve, a pile of Divine Crystals appeared on the ground.

Zhou Hao stared, dumbfounded, and inwardly exclaimed, "Rich woman."

As soon as Zhou Yuanbao and Mu Jinyin saw the pile of Divine Crystals, their eyes lit up with intense brilliance, and they immediately pounced forward.

However, Murong stopped them, reminding them, "You can't eat any more. Divine Crystals are good, but you have to be able to digest them. You've had enough for today."

Zhou Yuanbao and Mu Jinyin retreated dejectedly. Out of sight, out of mind. It was incredibly difficult to see something but not be able to eat it.

Murong said to Zhou Hao, "You can keep these Divine Crystals! Give them some again in about five or six days. Three pieces each time is enough. If you give them more, they won't be able to digest it. Accumulating too much energy that doesn't belong to them might cause big problems in the future, so you need to pay extra attention."

Seeing her serious expression, Zhou Hao nodded earnestly, "Don't worry! I'll keep their appetites in check."

He paused here and asked with a smile, "I should be able to use them too, right?"

Who wouldn't covet so many Divine Crystals?

Murong glanced at him and said indifferently, "You haven't even finished absorbing the Divine Crystal I gave you yet! Don't even think about these Divine Crystals."

Zhou Hao chuckled and rubbed his nose, "That's true."

Then, he put the pile of Divine Crystals into his Storage Ring, turned to look at the ice table, went over, and packed up all the food on the ice table. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked up at Murong.

"By the way, I think we should cancel our 'date.' It's too forced and won't achieve the real effect. It's better to let things happen naturally and see how things develop in the future."

He had realized now that most of their so-called couple activities were performative, forcing themselves to accept their partners.

Most importantly, Murong didn't grasp the essence of it at all, resulting in only Zhou Hao acting. In that case, he might as well be more spontaneous.

Murong nodded gently and said indifferently, "Whatever you think is fine."

She really didn't quite understand what love was. In this regard, she just needed to follow Zhou Hao's suggestions.

Zhou Hao smiled. Their current state was a bit like friends.

He thought for a moment and asked curiously, "You asked me to call you 'Your Majesty' before. Are you an emperor from somewhere?"

Murong looked at him deeply and smiled, "The Empress of the Ice and Snow Divine Realm. If you leave this plane, you can come find me. You are always welcome."

If Zhou Hao came to the Ice and Snow Divine Realm proactively, she would save a lot of trouble.

"Ice and Snow Divine Realm? Empress?" Zhou Hao murmured, then nodded, "I'll remember. I'll go if I have the chance."

"I look forward to your arrival," Murong smiled, her eyes rolling slightly. She said with a playful smile, "We'll have three hundred rounds then."

Zhou Hao's face immediately stiffened. He asked speechlessly, "What are you always thinking about?"

These three hundred rounds obviously referred to bedroom activities.

"Hehe~" Murong giggled charmingly, patted Zhou Hao's arm, and said seriously, "I think about having children with you every day."

Zhou Hao rolled his eyes and complained, "Your current image is a bit different from your Empress image, isn't it?"

He felt that when Murong was majestic, she could scare him to death. He could refer to the last time he lied; the air had solidified. But like this, he found her quite approachable.

A strange emotion flickered in Murong's eyes, and she shook her head, laughing at herself, "An Empress isn't always an Empress. Facing you, a familiar stranger, I can be more casual."

Zhou Hao was infected by the strange emotion emanating from her and was stunned for a moment. After coming to his senses, he smiled and said, "We're not strangers now, are we?"

"That's true, we're going to be a couple," Murong smiled.

Zhou Hao looked at Murong, frozen on the spot. For some reason, he felt that Murong was more beautiful at this moment than ever before.

He blurted out, "You're really beautiful when you smile."

Murong smiled and accepted it frankly because she knew she was beautiful. It was a recognized fact.

She patted Zhou Hao and said with a smile, "You're not bad-looking either."

Zhou Hao rolled his eyes. "Not bad" meant slightly better than bad.

He didn't want to dwell on the topic of appearance and changed the subject, "Since we're a couple now, shouldn't we decide on our mutual terms of address? I can't keep calling you 'Your Majesty', can I?"

"Okay," Murong nodded and asked, "Then what do you want to call me?"

Zhou Hao thought for a moment and showed a strange smile, "How about I call you 'baby,' 'sweetheart,' 'Rongrong,' or 'darling'?"

Murong gave him a look, letting him figure it out.

Zhou Hao immediately understood and chuckled, scratching his head, "It's too cheesy, right? Hehe~"

Murong made the decision, "Let's just use our names. I'll call you Zhou Hao, and you call me... Murong."

"Calling each other by name like this doesn't show our relationship!" Zhou Hao felt it was inappropriate.

Murong glanced at him and said, "It's not for others to see. Let's just call each other like this, Zhou Hao."

"Ah, Murong," Zhou Hao replied helplessly.

At this moment, he deeply understood a principle: when he had the decision-making power, it was only because Murong didn't want to make decisions.

When Murong made a decision, it basically meant he had no say, because he couldn't object.

Murong nodded slightly, looked at Zhou Hao, and said something that made Zhou Hao's blood run cold.

"Zhou Hao, you're the only one who has called me by my full name and is still alive. In a way, you're quite amazing."

Zhou Hao's mouth twitched. So, he should be proud of this?

But it was indeed something to be proud of. After all, Murong was the Empress of the Ice and Snow Divine Realm, and being able to call her by name already explained a lot.

He looked at Murong and asked, "Your time is almost up, isn't it?"

Murong raised an eyebrow, nodded, and then chuckled, "I didn't expect you to be so observant."

Zhou Hao pouted, "I've always been very observant."

He knew Murong only had an hour. With his current cultivation, he was quite accurate with his sense of time; a little attention would be enough.

Murong smiled slightly, waved her hand, and said, "This has been a very pleasant chat. We'll meet again in three days."

Zhou Hao watched Murong disappear into thin air before his eyes and sighed softly, "This woman isn't always that annoying!"

Previously, he had a bellyful of resentment towards Murong, the kind where he'd seek revenge if he had the chance. However, after spending more time together, he found that besides being a bit overbearing, Murong was actually a pretty good person.

Especially since she always brought good things whenever she visited: cultivation techniques, Divine Crystals, clothes, and this time, delicious dishes. Each item could be considered a priceless treasure.

Honestly, thinking about it now, Zhou Hao felt like he was living off her, even though her "support" was quite sweet.

But the dream of a comeback still had to exist. What if he could one day get the upper hand over Murong? Wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted then? At that time, Zhou Hao would be the one with the decision-making power.

"Hehehe..."

Lost in thought, Zhou Hao couldn't help but laugh out loud, his laughter filled with a sense of triumph.
