The secret agent was sent there specifically to disrupt the internal affairs of Great Yan, so the usual defensive tactics were useless against her.
Originally, An Bai’s troops would have been thrown into a bitter battle because of this girl, ultimately suffering a crushing defeat. Following a series of ambushes, they would be forced into a desperate situation and perish in a foreign land.
But since Lu Xunche’s mission was to ensure An Bai’s safety while also increasing the An Bai’s trust, he naturally wouldn’t let such a thing happen. Moreover, with Yan Luo’s identity in this dimension, it gave him a lot of convenience.
“I killed that spy, and that idiot even glared at me. You should’ve seen the look on his face when he realized she was actually a spy,” Lu Xunche said with a light laugh, chewing on a small pastry and propping up his chin. “Anyway, the trust level is already maxed out. He can go freeze somewhere now. By the way, how are things going between you and that guy, Jun Yulin? He gives me a bit of a strange vibe. Seems like your target this time is a tough one.”
After listening to Lu Xunche’s story, Yan Luo’s smiling expression fell all of a sudden. She shared her own situation in a dull, unhappy tone.
This really was the first time she’d met a male god whose blackening value fluctuated so erratically.
“Maybe you’re just overthinking it. Anyway, I haven’t seen a single system assigned by the Dimensional Management Bureau that isn’t a scam. Little Pink’s just an intern, getting inaccurate intel about the dimension is totally normal. Red-Orange-Yellow was also the same back then. Just do more missions and level up, and the plot issues won’t be so bad anymore,” Lu Xunche said, raising an eyebrow slightly as he spoke, recalling old memories.
Back when he’d just started taking on missions, he really had researched how to get rid of the system in a few different dimensions.
Red-Orange-Yellow : […Master Host, could you not deliberately think about those things just to make me hear them?]
Lu Xunche : “Listen to me. Then shut up.”
Red-Orange-Yellow : …
Only God knows what happened in those planes when it bound to this godlike host.
A flood of bitter tears.
Yan Luo nodded seriously, indicating that she had taken it all to heart.
Meanwhile, Little Pink—who could faintly sense the dangerous aura beneath Lu Xunche’s laid-back demeanor—shivered inwardly. [I’m suddenly felt thankful that my Dear Host is a coward.]
Yan Luo : That’s enough. Shut up.
Just then, Lu Xunche suddenly stopped talking. All those fantastical topics about systems and the like paused abruptly. He cast a slightly subtle glance toward the study’s door and then spoke.
“Is there anyone who can enter your study without your permission?”
Hearing that, Yan Luo, who had been listening attentively, blinked instinctively. “Huh? Jun Yulin could—”
“I understand,” Lu Xunche cut in, getting up and stretched his neck a little before walking straight toward Yan Luo.
Yan Luo : ???
“If you’re not sure, why don’t we test it out directly?” Lu Xunche said lazily, grabbing Yan Luo and pressing her down against the desk. He leaned forward, and suddenly the two were extremely close.
So close that Yan Luo could clearly see the teasing look in Lu Xunche’s eyes.
Seeing the astonishment in Yan Luo’s gaze, Lu Xunche narrowed his eyes with a smile. Though they looked close, in reality there was no physical contact between them at all. Still, in this setting, in that posture, with just the two of them—it was all just a little too provocative.
