Chapter 395: What’s this if not liking me?

“…”

When the Dragon Empress said this, Ming’s heart suddenly softened.

He even felt his stomach soften along with his heart.

It was like he really wanted to eat some soft rice.

After all, encountering a high-level cultivator who is powerful, extremely beautiful, and has an amazing figure telling you “don’t struggle anymore, stay by my side,”

Who could resist that? No one could!

Ming truly doubted if he wasn’t her old lover; otherwise, why would the Dragon Empress say something that sounded like she was expressing her feelings?

Since the Dragon Empress represents pure love warriors, logically, she shouldn’t say such things to other men.

Of course, there’s a ten-thousandth possibility that the Dragon Empress has already let go.

She has completely put down that person, no longer being obsessed.

And since I’m not bad-looking either, it’s possible the Dragon Empress fell in love at first sight and decided to start a new romance.

But Ming quickly dismissed the bizarre thoughts in his head. The possibility was almost zero.

I just asked again, and the Dragon Empress said I was “thinking too much.” That basically means it’s impossible.

Someone of Ascension Realm cultivation doesn’t need to deceive me.

Not to mention, if I were truly the Dragon Empress’s lover, how could she let me go after searching for ten thousand years? If I had searched for the Dragon Empress for ten thousand years, I’d probably tie her up once I found her.

Moreover, the last point is, I come from the Blue Ocean Star, not even on the same plane as this world. I can’t be her old lover.

“If there’s nothing else, you may leave?” The Dragon Empress waved her hand towards Ming, saying, “Take my advice seriously. Moreover, I agree for you to stay here for half a year. I’ll help you obtain the Linglong Pearl. This is the most cost-effective thing for you.”

“Your subject will consider it carefully.” Ming bowed, indeed feeling somewhat tempted.

If it’s only staying for half a year, then it’s doable.

Half a year will pass in the blink of an eye anyway.

Besides, these six months won’t be like being in jail; instead, I’ll be serving by the Dragon Empress’s side. No matter what, having a boss with great figures and beauty, seeing her every day, will make your mood good.

Not to mention, this boss is very generous. Not only does she not dock your pay, but she also gives you rewards from time to time.

“Oh, don’t give anything to anyone while you’re here, understood?” The Dragon Empress blinked her eyes, taking out the crystal cup Ming used to bribe the maidservant from her blue storage bracelet, “You should bribe me instead of others.”

“…” Ming didn’t know what to say. It’s normal to bribe the people around you, how am I supposed to bribe you?

And do you lack anything?

“Yes, then I shall take my leave.” Despite not knowing what the Dragon Empress was thinking, Ming bowed and left the bedchamber.

The Dragon Empress’s gaze pierced through the door, watching Ming’s departing back until it disappeared from view. She then retracted her gaze.

“Not in a hurry, not in a hurry, take it slow.”

The Dragon Empress took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

“I’ve already waited nearly ten thousand years, what are a few more days?”

At night.

In a courtyard outside the Dragon Palace, Ao Yiner held up her skirt to step out of the courtyard.

“What are you going to do?”

Ao Jin, stepping out of the room, saw his sister sneaking out and called her over. Ao Yiner turned around, smiling, “I’m going to find Ming.”

Hearing the name “Ming,” Ao Jin remembered how this guy ruined his plans this afternoon, making him quite displeased: “Why are you going to see him?”

“To play~” Ao Yiner said naturally, “What fun is there hanging out with you guys? It’s suffocating. I think Ming is interesting, and I can ask him about things on land.”

“You’re a girl, going to someone’s courtyard late at night, what kind of decorum is that? If this gets out, will your reputation still exist?” Ao Jin’s tone carried some anger.

“Why are you yelling at me, Brother?” Ao Yiner pouted, “I’m just going to play with him. No one knows, so how does it affect my reputation? Brother, you just don’t tell anyone, right? Besides, haven’t you noticed Ming likes me?”

Ao Jin: “???”

“What confidence do you have, little missy? How did you see that Ming likes you?” Ao Jin questioned curiously.

In Ao Jin’s opinion, Ming clearly doesn’t like her. The way he looks at his sister is like looking at a little fool, and he feels embarrassed to even expose it.

Ao Yiner smirked confidently, “Of course! Look, this afternoon, Ming sat next to me to fish. Isn’t this liking me?”

“…”

Ao Jin’s throat moved, wanting to say, “Ming sat next to you because you were sitting next to me! He was disrupting my plan!”

But Ao Jin knew he couldn’t say that. He couldn’t drag his sister into this.

“Alright, Brother, rest assured. Even if Ming likes me, I don’t like Ming. Our noble Dragon Clan wouldn’t possibly like an ordinary person, I reckon only the Dragon Empress would be interested.”

Saying that, Ao Yiner ran off.

“Brother, I’m leaving. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be back before dawn.”

“Ahhh…”

Ao Jin rubbed his eyes, looking quite helpless.

“Fine fine, let her go play. Anyway, those two won’t create any sparks.”

Ao Jin sat in the courtyard, consoling himself like that.

Just as Ao Jin poured himself a glass of wine in frustration,

Ao Jin’s hand froze mid-air.

He slowly put down the wine cup and looked forward.

Two women wearing masks stood in front of Ao Jin.

“Dragon Palace Listening Sea Tower?”

Ao Jin looked at the two women wearing masks.

Listening Sea Tower is the intelligence and assassination agency of the Dragon Palace, directly subordinate to the Dragon Empress, and only takes orders from the Dragon Empress.

However, if Listening Sea Tower discovers something, they will act on their own to eliminate risks for the Dragon Empress.

“I wonder what business brings Listening Sea Tower to me?”

A woman wearing a fox mask stepped forward: “We have a question for you.”

Ao Jin nodded: “Feel free to ask, Miss.”

Fox Mask Woman: “This afternoon at Coral Sea’s Ten Thousand Fish Lake, what were you fishing for?”
