Quick Transmigration: Hosts, We're Only Responsible for Counterattacking

Chapter 103 Turning the Tables to Become King (16)

Her hair was adorned with flowers, her face radiant with golden hairpins, and she spent a warm spring night in the hibiscus-scented tent. The spring night was fleeting, and as the sun rose high, the emperor ceased holding morning court.

Putting aside whether it's time for the morning court session, shouldn't one be enjoying a peaceful and intimate time at this hour?

Just as this thought crossed his mind, Shen Yun suddenly remembered why he wasn't in the arms of a woman. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he simply couldn't. He couldn't possibly just chat under the covers.

Besides, it's only more infuriating to just look at it.

Once she understood this, Shen Yun no longer doubted whether Xia Yuliu had lost his mind and had come to her place for no reason. She glanced at him; his eyes were dark and swollen, his figure was sleazy, and he had a smile on his lips that he thought was very handsome.

With a hint of pity in his eyes, Shen Yun's gaze gradually descended, reaching a certain indescribable area. After a long while, he finally withdrew his gaze, his heart filled with deep emotion.

She wondered if it was just her imagination, but when she looked at Xia Yuliu now, she felt that he exuded a effeminate aura.

Xia Yuliu raised his eyes, his gaze filled with complex emotions. "Don't overthink it. I was just having a sleepless night and taking a stroll."

"Who are you kidding?" Shen Yun pouted. Even a fool could figure out that the reason he was here was because he had suffered a setback in something and was looking for some kind of fun.

[Host, he could actually summon you to his bedchamber, then do nothing else, thus avoiding a bad reputation and shifting the blame onto you.]

Shen Yun was unusually confused. "You bastard, aren't you my system? Why are you siding with outsiders?"

2345 shook its fur and said obsequiously, "[That's not because you, host, are wise and powerful, possessing superhuman abilities. The existence of this simple mode is simply an insult to your character.]"

Shen Yun pursed her lips, paused for a moment, and then continued, "I feel like you're insulting me."

"This isn't just a thought," 2345 chuckled inwardly, but maintained a perfectly serious expression. "Host, trust me, we're in this together, I wouldn't lie to you."

She still felt something was off, but Xia Yuliu's next words interrupted her thoughts.

Xia Yuliu looked up at the slightly whitening sky, touched his increasingly smooth chin, and said, "It's still early, I'll go sit with you for a while."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuyan stepped out from behind Shen Yun, puffing out his cheeks, and said, "You are not allowed to go to my sister's place."

Xia Yuliu's face stiffened. Here it comes again, this strange feeling. She carefully examined the man blocking her way. Seeing that his expression was normal and not fake, her expression softened slightly.

He's just a fool, why bother arguing with him?

"Second Brother, Chang Rao is my Empress, we are husband and wife." No matter when, as long as he is willing, the gates of Mu Chang Rao's palace will always be open for him.

Xia Yuliu looked at Shen Yun, as if waiting for her answer.

First, she was stunned by Xia Yuyan's feigned madness. Shen Yun lowered her head slightly to avoid their gazes, her brows furrowing unconsciously. She felt that something was wrong. Of course, she didn't think that she was so beautiful that she attracted unwanted attention. It was obvious to anyone with a brain that Xia Yuyan's performance was a hint given to her by that dog.

But... Xia Yuyan, putting aside his past intellectual deficiencies, even if he recovered, he's still just a six or seven-year-old child, or at most ten. How could he act so skillfully?

[Cough.] 2345 shifted her body, leaning against the high, puffy cushion. [I think he probably said that because he was afraid Xia Yuliu would take advantage of you. Besides, children born in the palace tend to mature earlier.]

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun looked at Xia Yuliu thoughtfully, then smiled charmingly, making her face even more alluring. "Does Your Majesty wish to visit my palace?"

Although it was a question posed to him, his tone was absolutely certain.

People in Lubian are like the moon, and their arms are frosty and snowy.

With every gesture, her innate charm overshadowed her stunning beauty.

Seeing this, Xia Yuliu stared blankly and involuntarily said, "Yes."

Standing to the side, Xia Yuyan's childishness faded, his expression gradually darkening. His hands clenched into fists, revealing faint white marks on his fingers, hidden in the darkness but not noticeable. "Tch," Shen Yun scoffed, stepping forward and calmly slapping him across the face. Then, she blew on her hand, "Still want more?" Her tone trailed off slightly.

How could such a scoundrel possibly covet a fairy like her? She's ugly, yet she dreams too much.

Perhaps her behavior was too shocking, so even though Xia Yuliu felt the pain in her cheek, she still didn't react.

Taking this opportunity, Shen Yun quickly turned around and pushed Xia Yuyan to go back first.

Children cannot participate in the adult world.

Xia Yuliu, who had been sent away, obediently took a few steps and then found a secluded spot to stand there.

Although Xia Yuyan, who was also in a state of surprise, didn't react immediately, the corners of his eyes gradually turned upwards.

"You... how dare you!" Xia Yuliu's face darkened upon seeing this. If he could be described as handsome before, he could only be described as utterly disheveled now.

Now that the slap had been delivered, Shen Yun wasn't going to back down now. He figured there would always be a time when they would turn on each other; it was just that the time was being brought forward.

Furthermore, as long as Xia Yuliu doesn't want his reputation to be worse than stinky tofu, then he's just a paper tiger.

It's a pity that the original owner never understood this principle until his death.

Perhaps they understand, but they deceive themselves into thinking they don't.

"Does Your Majesty think I'm being presumptuous? But you didn't say that before."

Shen Yun started counting on his fingers.

"Among all the princes, I have great ambitions, but unfortunately my status is too low."

“If this continues, General Weiyuan will definitely not allow me to marry you.”

"If Rao'er is willing to persuade General Weiyuan to help me achieve my great cause, I will never betray you in this life. If I do not, I will be struck by lightning and be reborn as a beast for all eternity."

……

After he finished speaking, Shen Yun raised his head and stared at him intently. "Am I right?"

Before they were married, when Xia Yuliu was still a prince, their status was completely reversed compared to now.

Although the original owner had always harbored feelings for him, Xia Yuliu was afraid of the power of General Weiyuan's mansion. Even though he disliked her, he never dared to express these feelings. In fact, he often tried to please her.

Countless compliments like these have been showered upon her, and she's a perfect target for girls like the original owner who have never been in a relationship.

No matter how skilled she is on the battlefield, this kind of thing is all about her emotional intelligence, which the original owner clearly lacked.

Shen Yun's expression was not cold; in fact, there was a faint smile on his lips.

It looks a bit like someone who is hurt inside but still has to put on a strong front.

To outsiders it may seem that way, but in reality it is not. Shen Yun felt no unease, after all, it was the original owner who suffered this pain, and all she did was to prevent the original owner from repeating the same mistakes.

If I had to pinpoint an emotion, it would be summed up in five words: disappointment and frustration.

I ate all the snacks, so I'll pick out a pretty hairpin instead (ω). By the way, I feel a little guilty for not updating for two days.
