Xia Yan's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. His sharp reprimand carried an undeniable majesty.

"What kind of behavior is this!"

"You two are rulers of your own territories, SSS-Class existences who command dozens of cities and billions of lives!"

"And for one man, you're fighting to the point where the heavens and earth are collapsing and the sun and moon are losing their light! If this gets out, where will your dignity go?

And where will the face of my Great Xia Imperial Clan be!"

He grew angrier as he spoke, pointing at the two women. "What's the difference between you and those crazy women in Earth's television dramas, who cry, make a scene, and threaten to hang themselves over trivial matters!"

Xia Yao and Kachi's faces both turned pale.

But in the next second, as if they had a telepathic connection, they refuted him in unison.

"He's different!"

As soon as they finished speaking, they glared at each other fiercely and spoke in unison again.

"Hmph!"

Then, they both turned their heads away simultaneously, neither looking at the other, their stubbornness identical.

"You dare talk back!"

Xia Yan was so furious he felt like his lungs would explode. He really wanted to grab them both and spank them, but in the end, his killing gaze was firmly locked onto the source of all this--Chu He!

Chu He's heart skipped a beat.

He clearly caught the key information in Xia Yan's words.

Rulers?

Dozens of cities?

Billions of lives?

In just two days, he had actually captured two queen-level existences!

This realization made Chu He's blood boil, but at the moment, this irritable uncle clearly saw him as the pig that ruined his two precious pearls.

If this matter wasn't resolved today, he might really be made into a dish of "Braised Scumbag."

Trying to force his way through was unlikely to work; he had to play it soft.

Chu He put on a look of tragic grandeur, appearing very sad and reluctant. His eyes, filled with deep emotion, swept over everyone present!

Then, his affectionate gaze landed on Xia Yao and Kachi, and he said righteously, "Seeing your deep friendship as best friends, yet being driven to fight each other by me, fills me with both heartache and emotion."

As he spoke, he casually raised his hand and nonchalantly picked his ear with his little finger.

A familiar, uncontrollable physiological urge welled up in his eyes.

In the next second, he could no longer "control" himself, and crystal-clear tears welled up and streamed down his cheeks.

That's right, Chu He had been like this since he was a child; whenever he picked his ear, he couldn't help but cry!

This sudden scene stunned everyone.

The tense, aggressive posture of Xia Yao and Kachi instantly faltered.

Xia Nuo watched, roaring internally: It's happening! The prelude to the legend has begun!

Chu He's voice was choked with tears, each word seeming to be dug out from the depths of his heart.

"My heartache comes from the fact that you were once the best of friends, and now you're about to fight each other to the death!"

"And the emotion comes from... all of this is actually because of me."

"In your hearts, I was actually... this important!"

"Alright." Chu He took a deep breath, as if he had made a momentous decision, his gaze becoming clear and resolute.

"You are rulers, with billions of subjects behind you who need your protection and rule. I am merely an ordinary mortal, how could I possibly be worthy of two majestic queens turning against each other for me?"

"If my death today can bring you back together, if it can restore peace to this sky..."

He spread his arms wide, looking up at the sky, his face radiating a divine glow of impending release.

"Then it will all be worth it!"

"Your loving... Chu He!"

After speaking, he imagined a noose in his mind, and in the next second, a strange rope emitting an ominous dark red light materialized out of thin air before him.

The rope writhed in the air like a living thing, exuding a seductive aura of death.

Chu He didn't even look at it, grabbing the rope and putting it around his own neck.

His movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

He was gambling, betting that they would save him at the first possible moment.

Betting that they absolutely wouldn't bear to see him die.

As expected!

The moment the rope touched the skin of his neck!

"You're not allowed to die!"

A sharp, piercing shout. Xia Yao's eyes snapped shut.

A black lightning bolt, condensed to its absolute limit, struck faster than the rope it targeted. The bizarre rope vanished into nothingness before it could even let out a whimper.

At the same time, Kachi's starry eyes locked onto Chu He. An invisible spatial force instantly bound him, rendering him unable to move!

The next second, one on his left and one on his right, two warm, soft, fragrant bodies crashed into his embrace.

One was tall and voluptuous, the other petite and delicate, yet both were trembling slightly.

Chu He's heart was already singing with joy, but he maintained an expression of utter devastation on his face. His acting was flawless.

He roared with all his might, "Let me go! Let me die! If I die, you two can reconcile! I can't be so selfish and ruin your relationship!"

"Shut up! You're not allowed to die!" Xia Yao's voice was filled with unprecedented panic and trembling. "We won't fight anymore! We'll never fight again! Do you hear me!"

Kachi had seen through Chu He's act long ago, but she didn't dare to gamble. She couldn't afford to take even that one-in-ten-thousand chance. Seeing that Xia Yao had clearly believed him, she decided to go along with it, turning the scheme to her advantage.

She said in a tearful, panicked voice, "Yes, we won't fight! Little He He, I didn't expect you to be so understanding. To think you'd be willing to die for us, for the billions of citizens!"

Xia Yao held Chu He tightly, feeling the warmth of his body, and declared resolutely, "From today on, Kachi and I are both your women! The three of us will be together! No one is allowed to mention fighting again!"

Chu He's roar cut off abruptly. His face showed a perfectly timed expression of shock and emotion.

"Really? You... you're really willing to... for me..."

His eyes reddened, his voice choked with emotion, looking like he'd been struck senseless by immense happiness.

"That's wonderful! I, Chu He, will definitely cherish you both!"

With that, he could no longer control his "excited" emotions and planted a forceful kiss on Xia Yao's flushed cheek.

Then he turned and planted a smacking kiss on Kachi's pretty face as well.

The system notification chimed.

[Name: Chu He] [Target: Xia Yao, SSS-Class, Current Intimacy: Deep Love] [Eye of Nirvana power greatly enhanced] [Target: Kachi, SSS-Class, Current Intimacy: Dependence] [Space Manipulation ability greatly enhanced]

Not far away, Xia Nuo stared blankly at the scene, which had reversed faster than flipping a book, his eyes turning red.

Brother-in-law... is truly so great!

He was actually willing to sacrifice his own life to restore his sister's friendship with Kachi!

Although... although he felt something was off, like something was strange.

But!

This earth-shattering scene, these sincere tears, this spirit of great sacrifice!

How could it possibly be fake!

Chu He looked contentedly towards Xia Yan!

The latter's rugged face had turned from ashen to purplish-red, and then from purplish-red to a blank slate.

He stared intently at the young man embracing two women, a smile of "surviving a disaster" on his face. His chest heaved violently, a lump stuck in his throat, unable to be spat out or swallowed.

He wanted to get angry, but the two girls had already reconciled. If he got angry now, he'd just be making a scene.

He wanted to act, but the brat was now completely protected. Anyone who touched him would be declaring war on two SSS-Class Queens simultaneously.

As fellow SSS-Class individuals, Xia Yao and Kachi working together, he might not even be able to win.

Besides, he had also entered into a Blood Pact with Xia Yao.

After a long while, Xia Yan let out a long sigh. His gaze at Chu He became more complex and solemn than ever before, as if he were lost in thought
