Are You Short on Friends? You Look Like You're Short on Husbands! Shameless! / Some People's Intel Is Still Stuck on Version 1.0

Miss Chi You called out to Cong Yu, but she still looked completely fooled by Cong Yu.

"I trust you completely, so please don't lie to me..."

However, Chi You said this, his two small fists clenching almost imperceptibly, unconsciously shifting his gaze away. "I hate traitors."

"..." Cong Yu opened her mouth, then understood, sighed, and shook her head. "I see..."

Why do I look like a jerk?

With a sigh, Cong Yu withdrew her leg, which had already stepped into the Jormungandr Train, while Chi You was still muttering something...

"If you really..."

Before Miss Chi You, with her eyes lowered, could finish her hesitant words, Cong Yu had already walked up to her side.

Then...

Hug--

Suddenly feeling herself being embraced, Miss Chi You abruptly raised her head, her expression slightly surprised as she was held in his arms. "Huh?"

"..."

"Don't worry... After you're out of trouble, I'll teach you how to manage your social media accounts and how to become a modern-day emperor of honor."

As Cong Yu spoke, she hugged Miss Chi You, pressed her forehead against Miss Chi You's forehead, and their beautiful eyes met.

"Then, together with everyone, I'll take you to travel all over the world... to see the scenery of different places and taste all kinds of unique cuisines."

"This is my promise, and beyond that..."

"I will always be your subject."

Cong Yu made this vow.

Chapter 691 Is it because you lack friends? You look like you lack husbands! Shameless!

"Nailed it."

Seeing Cong Yu suddenly appear and say this, Xian Kui, sitting in the office, was stunned for a moment. "All done?"

What's settled? What's settled?

With a look of confusion in their eyes

Xian Kui Cong Yu pulled an A4 sheet of paper directly from the void and handed it to the Xian Kui.

"Here, this is the imperial edict issued by the Monster Emperor..."

Xian Kui hesitated for a moment in response to Cong Yu's words, unsure of what to say. But he still had to start by complaining, "Why is it an imperial edict printed on a printer?"

Logically speaking, even if the imperial edict wasn't on bamboo slips, it should at least have been written with a brush on silk or cloth, right?

At the very least, write it by hand.

"You've misunderstood. Who says imperial edicts have to follow ancient methods... This is how modern imperial edicts are."

Cong Yu spread his hands and shook his head. "Maybe after a while, all of humanity's daily office work will be unified into electronic form, and paper documents will mostly only exist in important contracts."

What Monster Emperor keeps up with the times!

A unified electronic office system? That's hard to imagine...

Thinking this, Xian Kui looked at the A4 paper in his hand, examining the printed font and ink...

A rather "classical" writing style.

I feel so out of place...

I feel an urge to keep complaining.

But Xian Kui restrained his impulse and began to read carefully...

The gist of the message is that Cong Yu is allowed to participate in setting up an organization, and the Monster Group is expected to cooperate fully.

That's about it.

It's understandable that the Monster Emperor, persuaded by Cong Yu, decided to make the Monster Group listen to Cong Yu... could it be considered the appointment of a regent?

But here's the problem...

"What organization?"

Xian Kui asked directly, while Cong Yu recounted her previous conversation with Miss Chi You in its entirety.

Then...

"What? The eccentric emperor is actually a woman?"

Xian Kui couldn't help but ask this question after only hearing the beginning. She said, "I thought it would be... sorry, that was a stereotype."

In the Xian Kui's stereotype, the Monster Emperor is roughly a giant living skeleton about three meters tall, with a black robe draped over his back and a crown on his head.

It turned out to be a woman...

Cong Yu could understand Xian Kui's shocked expression. He smiled and continued recounting what had happened, "Then I said to her, 'But can you really do it, Miss Chi You?' And then the Emperor..."

Hearing this, Xian Kui paused, narrowing her eyes. "Wait, um... what did you say? The Monster Emperor's name is..."

Cong Yu: "Chi You... you didn't know about her before? I don't think I ever mentioned her? She's the Chi You from China mythology."

"..."

"Impossible! Why would Chi You be a woman?!"

Xian Kui felt his worldview had been shaken.

And Cong Yu finally understood what the Britain people's mindset might have been when they learned that King Arthur was a woman.

It's as bizarre as Merlin possibly being a white-haired female entertainer or magician... Wait, really?

--

"So it is..."

"Like this, like this."

"..."

"So that's how it is... it's a mascot."

Xian Kui paused briefly after saying this, then continued, "Forgive my frankness, but she's more..."

After saying this, he paused slightly before Xian Kui came up with a suitable word to describe it. "More innocent and naive?"

In fact, if Xian Kui wanted to say "childish," he could have said it directly, because Cong Yu wouldn't have cared.

"Actually, she could tell, but she didn't say it out loud... because His Chi You himself had begun to realize it."

As she spoke, Cong Yu, who addressed Chi You as "Your Majesty," shook her head helplessly. "She has no other choice but to be naive."

This was something the Xian Kui found difficult to understand.

Because the Xian Kui were unaware that, after the ancient seal, Chi You was able to persist in thinking, refusing to be replaced by the Extinction Formula, and gradually swallowing up the throne of the monster...

He relied on his obsession with "becoming emperor".

To deny these things would be to deny her soul and her unwavering principles... Therefore, she must break free and become the empress.

The word "must" sounds light and easy.

But if things go wrong, it will be a complete break from the mundane world, the end of this era.

Because the changes of the times were completely beyond her imagination.

Modern people find it hard to accept a Monster Emperor...

But if he's an "honorary emperor," then things might be different... After all, Miss Chi You is quite pretty.

In terms of personality, she can't be described as particularly refined and easygoing, or even perfectly normal...

But at least it has normal communication skills and some endearing qualities.

Chi You is actually quite cute.

This shows that she can absolutely appear as someone "everyone knows," "everyone respects," and "everywhere she goes, people cheer and take pictures."

That's right, this is Chi You as an internet celebrity...

No, no, these are things one would have to do as emperor.

Just eat, drink, and have fun.

As the master of the world, this is enough... or rather, this is necessary; trying to go any further would lead to major problems.

"Would she be willing? And then..."

As Xian Kui spoke, she was grateful for Cong Yu's actions and for the banner he was about to raise in front of the monsters for the sake of humanity.

However, she had to... she absolutely had to consider other things, and she had to think about them.

"If Chi You... I mean, the Monster Emperor, were to be in a bad mood one day, or if he were to decide to exterminate humanity because of the offenses of some people, then things would be bad."

Speaking with such a pointed tone, Xian Kui gently pinched her nose. "Is there a way to prevent the emperor from escaping?"

"..." That's a bit too much.

Cong Yu sighed helplessly, reaching out to pinch Xian Kui's nose. "Don't go too far... I will keep my promise to Chi You."

"You're worried about the world, so you're preparing to deal with Chi You... Isn't that what you call 'provoking Chi You '?"

Cong Yu said this, and then, with Xian Kui nodding in agreement, she said seriously, "In fact, very few of the Monster King were truly loyal to Chi You... or should I say none at all?"

"..." Waaah?! A shocking revelation?!

Xian Kui's eyes widened instantly... Was this something she could hear? Was this something she should be hearing?

However, there's more to Cong Yu's story.

"But personally, I don't have any ill feelings towards Chi You, and I certainly wouldn't say I respect him... or should I say I pity him?"

"If Chi You heard the word 'pitiful,' she would definitely be furious, but I still feel a little sorry for her."

As Cong Yu spoke, she rested her chin on her hand. "She was sealed away from the very distant past... but she can sense the outside world."

Simply put, it can connect to the internet.

She'd seen soda but never drunk it, seen a hamburger but never eaten it, seen a bed but never lay down in it, and seen a game but never played it.

"Although she could arrange for someone else to deliver it, she didn't... Chi You's heart was a desolate wasteland, as if she were already dead."

"Perhaps the real Chi You died long ago in the Battle of Zhuolu, and what she is now is merely an empty shell chasing after freedom and respect..."

As she said this, Cong Yu immediately smiled at the thoughtful Xian Kui: "Of course, I just said it offhand for the sake of making my lines trendy."

Xian Kui: "..."

Chuunibyou?

"However, without a doubt... she had subjects but did not receive respect; she longed for sunlight but had not seen it for countless ages."

In this way, Cong Yu was expressing her stance to Xian Kui and also reminding her not to mess around.

If she messes things up, Cong Yu might not necessarily be on her side.

All the seemingly complex and circuitous narratives are actually meant to serve as a warning...

Fortunately, Xian Kui could understand it; after all, she was quite familiar with this kind of thing.

"Chi You in videos, stories, TV series, and movies... I've seen and learned about the concept of friendship."

But she didn't...

Cong Yu stood up and casually shrugged, "So, who will become Chi You's friend?"

[That has to be me. jpg]

"..." That makes sense, that makes sense.

Xian Kui nodded, finding Cong Yu's words quite reasonable. Then, as if remembering something, he silently spoke—

Actually... I don't have any friends either.

Cong Yu: "???"
