"Mother-son relationship!"
The smoothed-out cerebral cortex instantly wrinkled and deformed, the worldview of the Huahai collapsed and shattered, and he stood there dumbfounded, saying, "Is Phoenix your mother?"
"Yes, that's right."
Qingrong suddenly sprouted twin ponytails, her cheeks flushed with a wine-red blush, and said, "Just like your half-brother Exalted Emperor, Phoenix is my mother, who is not related to me by blood. In private, I call her [ Mother Huang ]."
Huahai swallowed hard. He simply couldn't imagine Qingrong calling Phoenix" Mom." To be honest, it was a somewhat sexually repressed perversion.
With Qingrong, flowing voice, she said, "All members of the Phoenix Crown and Rosy Robes and Embroidered Robe are children of the Phoenix, and everyone addresses each other as brothers and sisters..."
"The sack of bridge!" Huahai pointed to her nose, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Now I'm an elite member of the Phoenix Crown and Rosy Robes Robe team, and I have to call Phoenix 'Mom' too?"
"What are you thinking? You're not worthy!" Qingrong said with disdain and contempt, "Only the core nine members of the Phoenix Crown are worthy of calling the Phoenix ' Mother Huang '."
"You scared me."
Huahai breathed a sigh of relief. Goodness, it's a good thing she's not part of the core nine-person Phoenix Crown group, otherwise she would have encountered a mother she'd never met before.
But soon, he realized something else.
"If Phoenix and Imperial Emperor are lovers, Qingrong, does that mean you have to call Imperial Emperor 'Dad'?"
Qingrong remained unusually silent.
After a long pause, he gave a soft "hmm".
"Holy crap!"
The worldview that had finally been restored to normal collapsed and shattered again. Huahai's mouth twitched wildly. Good heavens, [ Dad Di ] [ Mother Huang ], he really guessed right.
Qingrong clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, saying, "But I absolutely refuse to acknowledge the Imperial Emperor as my father. Back then, he ruthlessly banished Mother Huang from the team. We, the Phoenix Crown Nine, will drag that bastard Imperial Emperor down from his pedestal, humiliate and torture him severely, and avenge Mother Huang!"
Huahai clicked her tongue in surprise, suddenly feeling a pang of sympathy for the Imperial Emperor. He woke up to find himself with nine extra children; she wondered what he would think.
" The Mother Huang has replied."
"What did Mom say? Pshaw, pshaw, pshaw!" Huahai quickly corrected herself, "What does Phoenix want to do with Exalted Emperor?"
Qingrong stared at her phone, stunned.
" My Mother Huang me to bear with it."
"Ah?"
Jiangcheng Huating Residential Complex, Huyan Lan's bedroom.
"Victory!"
A victory icon appeared on Huyan Lan's phone screen. He played Wang Zhaojun this game with a score of 12-1-8, a top-tier mid-laner, and gained 3 stars in one go, bringing his real-time rank to 240 stars.
"I never expected to run into [ the Yuejing ]."
Huyan Lan's gaze fell on the enemy's mid-lane Chang'e. The opponent's score was 2-9-1, which was an extremely poor record. "Nine years have passed, and her game skills haven't improved at all. Heh, this scheming little boy and girl, all their thoughts are probably focused on conquering the Imperial Emperor."
"If I weren't so eager to complete my mission of reaching the Thousand-Star King, I would have tortured you to the point of mental breakdown in this ranked match."
Huyan Lan's eyes turned cold as she reported Yuejing, which was successful instantly, resulting in a deduction of 6 reputation points and a ban from ranked Peak Tournament.
Back when she was the vice-captain of the Imperial Crown, [ Mao Rabbit Yuejing ] was the member she disliked the most. The reason was simple: the other party was a textbook example of a green tea bitch.
The Imperial Emperor Imperial Crown Team.
He kept calling me "Captain Brother" and deliberately provoked me.
"Captain, if Phoenix Sister finds out you're playing ranked matches with Rabbit, she won't be angry, will she?"
"Captain, you gave Rabbit a new skin for Diaochan. If Phoenix Sister finds out, she won't hit me, will she?"
"Captain, Phoenix Sister is so scary when she's jealous, unlike Rabbit, who only cares about you~"
Huyan Lan opened Yuejing's game homepage and scrolled down to the intimate relationship section. Although she already knew the outcome, she still felt an indescribable sense of relief when she saw that the other party did not have a lover.
"Didn't you boast back then that you'd step over me to rise to power? Go ahead, how come after nine years you still haven't managed to forge a romantic relationship with the Imperial Emperor?"
Huyan Lan picked up the iced Americano with one hand, bit the straw, and took a sip. The cool, slightly bitter liquid went down her throat, slightly suppressing the old thoughts in her mind.
Since leaving Imperial Crown 'Imperial Crown nine years ago, he has rarely thought about the past. After all, he was hurt too deeply by that bastard Imperial Emperor, and every time he recalls it, it is like a heart-wrenching torture.
At this moment.
A QQ message vibration sounded.
The letter was sent by the Phoenix Crown Vice Captain [ Snow Phoenix · Qingrong ]
" Mother Huang, I got completely destroyed in ranked matches because they were targeting me, and it was even happening while I was streaming! What do you think I should do? (Game replay)"
"Is Snow Phoenix being targeted in ranked matches?"
Huyan Lan's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. She quickly put down her iced Americano and began browsing the screen recording video. " Exalted Emperor? Su Hang! Snow Phoenix was utterly defeated by Su Hang?"
Huyan Lan was stunned.
He knew Snow Phoenix's strength perfectly well. She was the King of the Mid Lane, and the second strongest mid laner in their Phoenix Crown and Rosy Robes Team. Her powerful mid lane skills were beyond doubt.
They actually got blown up by Su Hang!
" Su Hang is a master of disguise."
Watching the game replay, Hu Huyan Lan's beautiful eyes widened in amazement. "Entering Flow State can actually increase one's actual gaming skill level by four times!"
Although it's still a long way from 7 times my own, 4 times is already a rare and exceptional talent!
How should we handle this?
Huyan Lan held the iced Americano, tapping the glass rhythmically with her manicured nails. As the current Vice Captain of Sovereign Dominion, and with Su Hang being her close friend, she naturally had to show Su Hang unconditional favoritism!
"Bear with it."
Huyan Lan replied.
[ Snow Phoenix · Qingrong ]: Endure it? Mother Huang, you mean we're just going to let this go without saying a word about me being targeted in ranked matches?
"Mm-hmm," Huyan Lan typed, "The Revenge of the Imperial Crown Team is imminent; don't waste your energy on trivial matters."
[ Snow Phoenix · Qingrong ]: Mother Huang, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like you're somewhat biased towards Exalted Emperor?
"Silly child, you're overthinking it," Huyan Lan typed. "I'm just considering the bigger picture. Exalted Emperor's self-created Sovereign Dominion will eventually become a force to be reckoned with in the King of Glory scene. As long as they don't infringe on our Phoenix Crown's core interests, we should try to win them over rather than antagonize them."
[ Snow Phoenix · Qingrong ]: I see, I understand, Mother Huang. I will handle this matter quietly, and the team will not make any statement.
Chat ended.
"When did I become a liar?" Huyan Lan took a sip of her iced Americano. "Where did that innocent, kind-hearted 11-year-old girl Huyan Lan, who longed for love, go?"
When I was young and naive, I mistook love for liking. As I grew older and more mature, I realized that it was indeed love, and a love that was unforgettable!
"Therefore, I must destroy the Imperial Emperor —defeat him in the game and kill him in reality!"
Huyan Lan clicked on the ranking match, her beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent, "Only by killing the Imperial Emperor can I find myself again at age 11."
"Only by killing the Imperial Emperor can I... retrieve my heart!"
