Shalulia was very familiar with Kalifa; when she first met Senga, Kalifa was already by Senga's side.
Shalulia didn't believe there wasn't something going on between Kalifa and Senga. She pouted and looked at Senga with a wronged Tianlai Novel Network.
Senga wasn't buying it. He pinched her nose and scolded her.
"What's with that look? Kalifa is my secretary, do you have a problem with her?"
"Hmph, just a secretary?"
"Hehe, I think you're itching for a beating again?"
With that, Senga hoisted Shalulia onto her shoulder and headed toward a room, Vice Admiral to Kalifa's surprise.
Shalulia initially struggled symbolically for a bit, but soon calmed down, obediently clinging to Senga's shoulder, her face flushed as Senga carried her into the house.
Kalifa thought Senga was about to unleash his beastly nature in broad daylight, so she quickly closed the door and then strained her ears to listen to what was happening inside the room.
However, even after the two had been inside for a long time, not a single sound came out.
Going back to what happened earlier, Senga carried Shalulia into the house and gently placed her on a large pink bed.
Originally, she thought the same as Kalifa: that Senga wanted to do something. But after Senga put her on the bed, he found a chair, sat down, and looked at her, resting his chin on his hand.
Feeling a little embarrassed by Senga's stare, Shalulia pretended to be a curious child, looking around the room.
Looking at the pink sheets beneath her, Shalulia couldn't help but purse her lips and say,
"Hmph, which woman is this for? Does Lord Senga have a girlish heart too?"
Senga shook his head and chuckled. He got up from his chair, went to a wardrobe, took out a large doll, and tossed it to Shalulia.
Shalulia one look and realized that the doll was practically a cartoon version of Senga, looking incredibly cute and much prettier than her abstract version.
She couldn't help but rub against the doll, but she quickly put it down and snuggled into Senga's arms.
"Senga, did you already plan to bring me here a long time ago?"
Senga responded softly. He was bound to fight Mary Geoise and her gang sooner or later, and it would be very dangerous for Shalulia, who was very close to him, to stay there. If she were captured by the Gorosei and others and taken hostage, Senga would be in a real predicament.
Now that Shalulia has been brought over, Senga has lost her last bit of hesitation and can fight Imu with peace of mind.
Among the Flower Chamber,
Twenty Celestial Dragons were led in in Kimono Gorosei in kimonos, looking like a herd of pigs being led around.
After the Kimono Gorosei entered, they knelt down before the throne on the high platform. The other Celestial Dragons followed suit and knelt down as well.
On the throne, Imu's figure gradually emerged. He looked down at the Celestial Dragons kneeling below, his gaze utterly indifferent.
The Kimono Gorosei said respectfully,
"Lord Imu, everyone has been brought!"
"You did a good job, you can step down now."
"Yes."
The Kimono Gorosei responded and then turned and left without hesitation, leaving behind only twenty bewildered heads of the Celestial Dragons.
Lizville's father, Mosrird, knelt on the ground and complained to Imu.
"Lord Imu! That Uchiha Senga is utterly lawless! He has challenged the Celestial Dragons' authority more than once, and now he has even kidnapped my daughter!"
Kneeling beside him was Roswald, Shalulia's father.
He already knew what had happened from Charlos, and he was also very angry about Shalulia helping outsiders against the Celestial Dragons. If this got out, it would be very detrimental to the family.
So he immediately echoed Mosrird.
"Yes, Uchiha Senga also kidnapped my daughter Shalulia. I hope Imu can do justice for us!"
He directly shifted all the blame onto Senga, but Mosrird didn't buy it at all, giving him a cold glance and saying,
"But as far as I know, Shalulia helped Uchiha Senga against my daughter, and she went with him willingly, didn't she? This is utterly disgraceful to us Celestial Dragons!"
When the truth was revealed, Roswald's face turned extremely ugly, and he angrily rebuked,
"How do you know Shalulia did it willingly? She was clearly bewitched by Uchiha Senga!"
"Hehe, really? Lizville told me before that your daughter is really obsessed with this Uchiha Senga, she even sleeps with his doll!"
"You bastard! I..."
Just as Roswald was about to speak in rebuttal, Imu had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.
That's enough.
The sound was unusually calm, but the effect was surprisingly good. Roswald and Mosrird immediately quieted down, obediently kneeling on the ground and bowing their heads low.
Imu glanced at them indifferently and said softly,
"I already know about Uchiha Senga's situation. Don't worry, he will soon receive the punishment he deserves. But before that, I need you to do one thing for me."
The twenty Celestial Dragons below the stage hurriedly and obsequiously responded.
"Lord Imu, please feel free to speak your mind; we'd be happy to assist you!"
"Hehe..."
Imu sneered, and the temperature inside the hall suddenly dropped. The Celestial Dragons couldn't help but shiver, a sense of fear welling up in their hearts.
A black vortex suddenly appeared in the hall, followed by roars. The black vortex expanded with the roars, revealing a pitch-black monster.
At this moment, it was staring intently at the twenty Celestial Dragons outside with one large, blood-red eye, as if it had spotted some delicious food, its gaze filled with undisguised greed.
These Celestial Dragons had never seen such a creature before, and they were terrified, their faces turning ashen. One of them asked, trembling,
"Lord Imu... what is this?"
Imu glanced at the black monster with a look of indulgence, then turned to the Celestial Dragons below and said,
"Your family has enjoyed wealth and prosperity for nearly eight hundred years. I have been more than kind to your ancestors. Now it is time for you to make a contribution."
As he spoke, amidst the horrified gazes of the twenty Celestial Dragons, Imu waved his sleeve, creating a violent gust of wind that swept up the twenty Celestial Dragons and transported them into the space where the monster resided.
Desperate cries echoed from within.
"No! Imu! Please, have mercy..."
The plea for mercy abruptly stopped, followed by a chilling chewing sound.
"Crunch, crunch..."
