Li Hao: Alas, this group leader is truly a good person

The next day.

Li Hao awoke from his deep sleep and looked at Ashe, who was pure and innocent like a newborn baby, beside him, and fell into deep thought for a long time.

So, who really won yesterday's battle?

Bah, it seems we shouldn't be thinking about the outcome of yesterday's battle; we should be thinking about the fact that this isn't the result we wanted.

Thinking of this, Li Hao sighed deeply.

The empress is indeed far more shameless than I imagined.

Oh, it was just a moment's lapse in judgment!

Just as Li Hao was deep in thought, the door slowly opened.

But then they saw Little Daji peering into the room through the doorway.

Her long fox ears trembled slightly, her pink fur swayed gently in the breeze, and her innocent, watery eyes stared intently at the bed.

Daji's beautiful face was filled with curiosity as she whispered, "Master, did this older sister make a mistake yesterday?"

Li Hao was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening.

Making a mistake!?

Cough cough, could it be because of last night?

Li Hao was slightly embarrassed, but quickly abandoned his negligible sense of shame and warned without any remorse, "That's right, Ashe made a mistake that shouldn't have happened, so she must receive severe punishment and in-depth ideological education from her master. If Little Daji makes a mistake, her master won't be lenient either."

Little Daji stuck out her tongue, showing no fear whatsoever.

She cheered, "Daji would never make a mistake!"

Li Hao nodded with satisfaction and praised, "Daji is a smart and good girl; she certainly won't make the same mistakes as that idiot Ashe."

Hearing the praise, Daji's big eyes narrowed into crescents, her delicate face was full of joy, and her nine fluffy fox tails swayed back and forth.

Daji said happily, "Master, wake up quickly, breakfast will be ready soon!"

As she spoke, Little Daji hurriedly ran downstairs to prepare breakfast.

Li Hao let out a breath, feeling slightly ashamed.

Well, thankfully I managed to fool them, otherwise it would have been a bit troublesome.

But is Daji that stupid?

Li Hao had his doubts, but quickly put the matter aside.

Whether Little Daji is intentionally acting foolish and cute, or genuinely doesn't know what happened yesterday, does it make a difference?

Li Hao glanced at Ashe, who was still fast asleep, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Are you pretending to be asleep?

Tsk tsk, it seems even the valiant Empress of yesterday wasn't entirely without principles after all?

Feeling a sense of relief and joy in Ashe's condition, Li Hao felt a rare sense of ease and pleasure.

It seems last night wasn't a complete failure; even Her Majesty the Queen isn't entirely in control.

Li Hao happily pulled the light and comfortable silk quilt over Ashe. He didn't expose her for pretending to be asleep, and got up alone to go to the restaurant for breakfast.

As Li Hao walked out of the room, Ashe slowly opened her eyes.

Her expression was complex, her gaze fixed on the void with a mixture of bewilderment and complexity.

But soon, Ashe's expression returned to calm and determination.

This is the path I chose, isn't it?

Moreover, he was more outstanding than he had imagined.

Ashe thought about her changes, and the hardships and frustrations of her life in Freljord, and couldn't help but smile.

The future has only just begun.

Time flies, and three days passed quickly.

During these few days, Ashe was not idle at all. During the day, she studied various modern common sense, learned about Li Hao's situation and her own situation, and at night she had to learn the various skills that slaves should master.

In order to help Ashe better master various new skills, Li Hao, after careful consideration and research, and adhering to the basic policy of coming from slavery and returning to slavery, and the basic quality of serving his subordinates, did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to provide Ashe with spellcasting materials for practicing skills.

Li Hao often sighed about this.

I, Li Hao, am a good person!

After three days of getting to know each other, their relationship underwent a profound and significant change.

Compared to when she first arrived, Ashe's beautiful face now often wears a gentle smile, and she is no longer as cold as she was at the beginning.

On the eve of heading to Azure Great World.

Li Hao looked at Ashe dressed in queen's attire with admiration in his eyes.

In the north there is a beautiful woman, peerless and independent. One glance could topple a city, a second glance could topple a nation.

Despite being under Li Hao's gaze, Ashe remained extremely cautious and prudent, showing no sign of overstepping her bounds despite their growing understanding over the past few days.

She dressed Li Hao in proper clothes, straightened them to make sure there were no wrinkles, then placed her hands at her lower abdomen, bowed her head, and said, "Master, it's ready."

Li Hao nodded slightly.

Li Hao had become somewhat accustomed to Ashe's performance.

Aside from Ashe's excessive caution in everything she did, which made Li Hao feel slightly bored, everything else was excellent.

Li Hao pondered for a moment and said, "You can relax a little; you don't need to be so rigid and cautious."

Ashe said solemnly, "There is a distinction between master and servant, and a proper order of rank."

A country needs laws to maintain stability. A family needs rules to ensure harmony.

If Ashe violates the rules that servants should follow, it is not only an offense to her master, but also a threat. Therefore, please do not bring up such matters again.

Ashe looked serious, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes.

As the Queen of Freljord, she was once a noblewoman living a life of luxury, surrounded by servants.

Therefore, Ashe had a certain understanding of the servants' feelings.

For servants, excessive freedom is not a good thing, as it can lead them to harbor inappropriate thoughts.

Ashe is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who makes mistakes too. She doesn't want to become arrogant, conceited, or even forget her identity because of this.

Most importantly, she didn't want to ruin her future because of such a trivial matter.

Li Hao rolled his eyes.

He has never liked this kind of preaching.

Faced with Ashe's resolute attitude, Li Hao didn't say much. Since Ashe herself was unwilling, he couldn't force her.

Li Hao smiled helplessly and said, "I hope you won't regret it later."

Ashe's lips curled into a gentle smile, her voice softening. "Submitting to the strong and following the strong is the way of survival for the weak. Compared to the rest of Freljord, Ashe's life is a happiness they can only dream of."

"My master's generosity is as vast as the starry sky. My master's compassion surpasses even the boundless heavens. To be able to follow you is Ashe's honor, and the luckiest thing in Ashe's life."

Li Hao clicked his tongue inwardly.

Are you trying to flatter the group admin?

Although your flattery makes me feel really good, I will absolutely not be proud of it.

Of course, since you speak so eloquently, this group admin doesn't mind if you say a little more.

Although Li Hao knew that Ashe's words were only half true, he was still quite satisfied.

It's good to have a clever servant.

Azure Star.

When the day of the grand celebration for the New God arrived, the entire Azure Empire was plunged into unprecedented clamor and commotion.

In this environment, the most nervous person was undoubtedly Pope Daisina of the Canglan Divine Cult.

Not only because she was the host of this grand ceremony, nor because she was the person directly in charge of it. The most important reason was that Daisina was the only one in the Azure Great World who knew that the Galaxy God had fallen, and Li Hao was the only true god who knew the truth.

Facing the master of the Azure Empire, the faith of the Canglan Divine Cult, and the only god in this world, Daisina deeply understood the impact that any unfavorable changes to the New God during the grand ceremony would have on the Canglan Divine Cult and even the entire Vast Blue World.

That would inevitably be a terrible disaster.

And just what Daisina feared most happened.

Ever since learning that the demi-humans who had been banished might be up to something, Daisina has become extremely anxious. With the intelligence department unable to obtain any concrete information about the demi-humans' plans, Daisina has no choice but to risk using the Great Prophecy spell to glimpse the future.

The results of using the Great Prophecy spell were somewhat unexpected for Daisina.

In the future she envisioned, the upheaval at the grand ceremony would not originate from the demi-humans, but from within the Holy See itself, from the Canglan Divine Cult itself.

Faced with this completely unexpected situation, Daisina felt extremely heavy-hearted and quite angry.

If the problem stemmed from the demi-humans, she could still find a way to exonerate the Canglan Divine Cult and the Azure Empire in order to beg for Li Hao's forgiveness. But when the problem came from the Canglan Divine Cult itself, from the private property that should have belonged to Li Hao, Daisina's heart turned to ice.

She understood that if such a thing really happened, it would mean that Li Hao might never be able to trust the Canglan Divine Cult again.

This was an unimaginable and unbearable disaster for Daisina.

However, her great prophetic ability was not omnipotent. Although she managed to glimpse a vision of the future, Daisina had no idea who the real mastermind was.

Unable to directly eliminate the mastermind behind it all, Daisina had no choice but to temporarily suppress her murderous intent.

To solve this problem, we must strike decisively and decisively.

Simply dealing with some insignificant henchmen serves no purpose other than alerting the mastermind and making them more vigilant.

"I have come by the command of my Lord."

Just as Daisina was lost in thought, a person appeared out of nowhere in the solemn and majestic palace—it was Ashe, dressed in her finest attire. She wore a white hooded robe over an exquisite and elegant queen's dress, with two strands of silver hair hanging down in front of her, further accentuating her graceful figure.

Daisina had already met Ashe before, and upon seeing her arrival, she bowed and said, "Greetings, Divine Envoy Ashe."

Ashe asked, "How are the preparations for the grand ceremony going?"

After a brief moment of hesitation and struggle, Daisina quickly made up her mind.

Concealing the problems within the Holy See would lead to utter ruin if those problems were to surface. Confessing the Holy See's current difficulties, while potentially incurring divine punishment, at least offers a glimmer of hope.

Daisina said cautiously, "The grand ceremony is ready, but there have been some unforeseen circumstances within the Holy See. Please forgive us, Lord."
