Empress Tantai Zijun listened with great interest, letting out small exclamations from time to time.
Time passed quickly. Before she knew it, she had been using her "Submission" superpower on Huo Yushen for half an hour.
The enormous consumption of Mental Strength had nearly become more than even she could sustain, and only then did she stop releasing the "Submission" superpower.
Huo Yushen was nearly at his limit as well.
But he still could not relax.
Although his head hurt as if it were about to explode and his face was pale as snow, he still maintained an expression of "waking from a dream." Turning toward Empress Tantai Zijun, he said in astonishment, "...Your Majesty, have you been using the 'Submission' superpower on me all this time?!"
Empress Tantai Zijun was still quite pleased.
This Chief Inspector of the Special Security Bureau had, in the end, passed her trial.
She smiled. "You have passed my test. I have decided..."
Before she could finish, Huo Yushen had already taken out an ID document and slapped it onto the desk before her. His expression was cold to the extreme as he said, word by word, "I. Resign."
Then he abruptly turned and left.
His steps were so hurried that it seemed he feared that if he delayed even a moment longer, someone would stop him.
Empress Tantai Zijun's face instantly flushed purple. She was so shocked that she failed to react at all.
How could anyone refuse an emperor's command?!
The purple flush on her face turned iron-blue. Feeling that her imperial dignity had been gravely challenged, she was about to call Huo Yushen back.
But Huo Yushen had already strode to the door and pulled open the office doors.
Yet the moment the doors opened, he could no longer hold on.
