You're the one dressed as a woman!
Your entire Embroidered Uniform Guard dresses as women!
-So thought the Ruler of Danxia at first, still unaware of how serious the situation was.
Amid the overlapping murmurs that suddenly rose around them, the Ruler of Qiguang stared wide-eyed, his lips trembling and his hands clenched into fists beneath his broad sleeves. Like a startled, furious lion, he looked across at Lu Yao through gritted teeth.
Only one sentence tumbled over and over in his mind-
Are you even human?!
Huh?!!
Are you even human?!
Lu Yao guiltily averted his gaze and looked up at the ceiling. When he happened to meet the eyes of the Shadow Guard stationed in the rafters, he even offered an awkward greeting.
The Ruler of Qiguang went rigid, not daring to turn around and look at the Ruler of Danxia's face.
Jiang Yingcheng had no such reservations. Both hands gripping her beautiful imperial father's shoulders, she kept craning her neck to look toward the Ruler of Danxia.
[Wow, it's red, it's red! The Ruler of Danxia's face has gone red!!]
[Ooh-it's dark, it's dark! Now it's gone dark!!]
[Huh! It can even turn white!!]
Jiang Yingcheng felt as though she had just watched a thoroughly satisfying face-changing performance. In her delight, she failed to notice that several minister uncles around her were also staring straight at the Ruler of Danxia's face.
Well!
The little one's description was wildly exaggerated, yet somehow remarkably apt!
Finally realizing what was happening, the Ruler of Danxia cycled through a series of expressions before his face settled into a deathly pallor of panic.
"Y-you're talking nonsense!" In his agitation, the Ruler of Danxia could barely articulate his words. "When did I-" *When did I ever meet you in that courtyard on Jiangyang
