"..."

With her face red from the neck up, Zhen Qing Huai wobbles her upper body in an unstable manner, and just as the former is about to land her face onto the table, Zhen Rong intervenes.

Setting Zhen Qing Hua's head against the wheelchair's headrest, Zhen Rong turns to Wu Xiao, and says—

"Mo-laoban, we'll be borrowing a guest room."

"That's fine."

Getting out of her seat, Zhen Rong pushes Zhen Qing Huai towards a guest room.

Much of the food has already been cleared away.

Both Nuo'er and Yao Ying, who had stuffed their stomachs—had already retired themselves into a guest room a few minutes ago.

As for Bai Wen, he had retired a few moments earlier than those two.

That being said, only Long Hua, Tian Cheng, and Wu Xiao are currently left at the table.

Throughout this supposed celebration, Long Hua treated this dinner to be dedicated to an invisible couple located in places unknown.

"Your things back. Also, an extra—consider it a...? Hmm wedding gift?"

Taking Shui Yue and three other items from Wu Xiao, Long Hua asks—

"You're not afraid of me cutting you into ribbons with this sword right now?"

"My dearest, you're a selfish person, but you're not an unreasonable killer."

Storing the items away, Long Hua asks—

"And how would you even know that?"

"I can tell a lot of things from that tune you played. If a person purposefully provokes you, you won't hesitate to beat them. That's why, you beat up that male weapon spirit, right? As for why you didn't beat up that little girl, it's because she was only surprised to see someone with a face similar to the one that she had known in the past. Had she looked at you in the same way as that other weapon spirit, you wouldn't have hesitated to slap her out of the entrance, correct?"

"..."

Glancing at Wu Xiao—who is smiling at him in a charming manner, Long Hua sighs. It's not exactly pleasant to be read like an open book, especially so when it is done by a complete stranger.

"...Are you not going to ask what exactly I am, my dearest?"

"Not interested. Actually, why exactly do you call me that?"

Taking a sip of wine, Wu Xiao replies—

"Long Hua isn't your real name, so why would I call you that? This isn't even your real body, is it?"

"..."

.........

Within the dreamscape, the Tai Xuan Emperor frowns.

"...This isn't his real body?"

As far as the Tai Xuan Emperor is able to tell, this should be Long Hua's true body. But then—

"The appearance of his current body, there's a Leng Bing Realm native—who looks the same, that can't be a coincidence, then...?"

Evidently confused by this, the Tai Xuan Emperor's frown deepens.

"In terms of physique and talent, his current body is on the same level as the one he had in his previous life. A weapon spirit has no physical body to take over, this is a bit...?"

Unsure what to make of this situation, the Tai Xuan Emperor is forced to rethink her approach against Long Hua.

"...I'll observe him for a while longer. Ideally, I'd want someone else to jump into the waters ahead of me."
