Chapter 1279: Flip the Table (second update, please vote for monthly tickets)
Huo Yushen stared at Xia Chujian and said word by word, "When an emperor is pushed to the limit, he won't discuss terms or logic with anyone. He'll just flip the table."
Xia Chujian: "..."
She said coolly, "Then flip the table. Like I don't know how to flip one too?"
"I just hope I can delay the moment he flips the table a little longer."
"All I need is a little time."
Huo Yushen fell silent for a long while before saying, "...Understood."
Xia Chujian gave him a strange look. "You're not going to rat me out to the Dog Emperor, are you?"
Huo Yushen said, "If I were going to rat you out, would you still be sitting here so comfortably?"
Xia Chujian said, "Then what did you mean by 'understood'?"
Huo Yushen: "..."
Just how did this girl's mind work?
The thought flashed through Huo Yushen's mind, but his expression remained calm as he said, "That wasn't what I meant."
Xia Chujian nodded. "Good, as long as that wasn't what you meant."
"In the future, you can speak more clearly to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
Huo Yushen: "..."
He did not explain further, but Xia Chujian did not stop talking.
She began asking Huo Yushen about the situation around Southern Cross Star.
"Marshal Huo, you went to Southern Cross Star, right? Did you visit any other Habitable Planets there?"
Huo Yushen said, "No. I only went to Southern Cross Star."
"Then did you find the legendary Broodmother?"
Huo Yushen glanced at her. "What? You found it?"
Xia Chujian's mouth twitched. That was way too perceptive, wasn't it? She had just asked casually. Did he really have to immediately connect it to her?!
