After their minds were read, the entire court trembled with fear.

Chapter 180 Good News: Dark 9 is in a Relationship!

Following them were some non-Han people who brought many high-quality items.

Following that was some remote, insignificant country that even the old emperor himself had never heard of.

Further afield, some people even came who couldn't speak Chinese, and they chattered on and on without anyone understanding them.

"What country are you from?" the old emperor asked.

“*&￥*（……）” A bunch of gibberish that I couldn’t understand.

The old emperor accepted the gift list handed to him by Chen Decai.

"Hippopotamus? What country is this? Does this country have a lot of hippos?"

[Hahaha, Hippo Country, what a bizarre name! But what they're saying is truly unpleasant, especially that damned English.]

The people from the Hippo Kingdom came from the Western Regions. They heard from the Western Regions that the Central Plains were very prosperous, so these people represented the Hippo Kingdom. As for the gifts they brought, well, just ignore them. Anyway, the old emperor didn't care much about what they brought.

The old emperor: Actually, I do care a little. Of course, it doesn't matter if they don't send expensive gifts, but it would be even better if they were willing to send expensive gifts.

The people of Hippo Kingdom realized that no one present could understand them, so they had no choice but to leave at the ceremonial officer's gesture.

[Those guys from Hippo Kingdom are pretty awesome, they have a lot of adventurous spirit. They've traveled to almost the entire continent, and now they've arrived in the area of ​​Daye. These guys are art students, and they draw every place they go.]

Many of the officials in Daye quickly noticed something was amiss.

So those people just now drew the border area of ​​Daye as well, right?

The General of the Cavalry gulped down a large bowl of wine, and when he opened his mouth, the smell of alcohol was overwhelming.

"It's alright. They can't go to military strongholds anyway, so it's fine for them to paint some frontier landscapes."

[Hey, System, look! This world has actually made telescopes! Those guys know there are some places they can't go in, so they're using telescopes to check the general situation of those restricted areas.]

The once confident General of the Cavalry stopped drinking, wiped his mouth, and muttered in confusion, "A telescope? What's that? It can even see what places we can't go to look like? That's amazing."

Both the old emperor and the crown prince were very curious about what this thing was.

Since you're curious, you should find out what it looks like.

The old emperor gave the Dragon Scale Guards a signal.

Soon, the few from Hippo Kingdom disappeared silently from the banquet.

After the banquet ended, the old emperor did not go to rest.

Ahhhh, I thought I could go home early.

At this moment, the system, which had been silent all along, spoke up.

[Host, the old emperor is over sixty or seventy years old, in his prime, while you are only in your early twenties, yet you are already on the verge of decay.]

"Humph."

Shen Zhiyi decided to ignore that idiot system.

A system that can't even fix its bugs doesn't deserve to be spoken to.

"Come, change your clothes and come with me to meet a few people."

The men changed out of their official robes into casual clothes and followed the old emperor to a room in a courtyard.

[What's going on here, all mysterious?]

Zhang Sheren didn't know either, and he looked at Shen Zhiyi curiously.

Good heavens, why did the old emperor kidnap those guys from the Hippo Kingdom? Wasn't it supposed to be that envoys aren't killed? What's going on here?

The old emperor naturally thought that those people weren't any kind of envoys, so what if they were executed?

The group entered a room where the several people from Hippo Country with high noses were tied up like crabs, with several door gods standing beside them.

Shen Zhiyi stood behind the old emperor, and for some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity with the person in the Dragon Scale Guard uniform guarding the door.

An Jiu didn't dare to move. If Shen Zhiyi found out, he would be ridiculed to death by his colleagues for the rest of his life.

[I remember now, this guy is that Dark Nine from the Dragon Scale Guard, who has a crush on Dark Seven, but he's never dared to confess because he can't beat her.]

At this moment, Anqi, who was about to hand something to the old emperor, was an ordinary-looking woman with a reserved demeanor.

An Qi turned to look at An Jiu, whose ears were bright red and whose eyes showed a fleeting look of surprise.

What followed was panic and regret.

It's important to understand that the Dragon Scale Guards are not allowed to have feelings. The old emperor believed that the Dragon Scale Guards, who were dedicated to serving him, should not have personal relationships, so he resolutely prohibited office romances.

Ahhh, it's so sweet!

At this moment, Shen Zhiyi had no time to care where she was or what she was doing. Her eyes were fixed on An Qi and An Jiu on the monitor.

[Anqi would never have guessed that the medicine that suddenly appeared on his table after each mission was given to him by Anjiu.]

[Even Dark Seven would never guess that the snail in her room is Dark Nine.]

[Anqi's personality is a lot like mine. To put it nicely, her room's style is casual; to put it bluntly, it's a doghouse.]

Anqi chuckled awkwardly.

I'm so busy with tasks every day, I don't have time to clean my room.

To my surprise, I came back one day to find the room spotless and all my belongings still there.

At first, Anqi thought the room was haunted, so he consulted a Taoist priest. The priest said it wasn't a ghost, but just a local earth spirit who liked to clean diligently.

Shen Zhiyi looked at this scene, suppressing a laugh.

[I can't believe it, hahaha, you really believed that, Big Sole?]

Do you know that the Taoist priest was hired by An Jiu? He was paid one tael of silver.

Dark Seven: ...

That really took a lot of effort.

An Jiu turned his head away, his mind filled with regret. If Shen Zhiyi hadn't been there, he would have already knelt before the old emperor.

He himself had a crush on An Qi, and it had nothing to do with An Qi.

[Oh my, based on my years of experience shipping couples, Dark Seven definitely likes Dark Nine too.]

Anjiu: ? ? ?

My heartbeat paused for a moment before pounding wildly again.

At that moment, his mind was filled with nothing but thoughts.

What?! An Qi likes him too?!

Is there anything more joyful in this world?

In the air, their eyes met.

Soon, both of them lowered their heads, their ear tips flushed red.

No one cared whether An Da lived or died.

Damn it, I never expected to have two such devoted lovers in my hands.

He cautiously looked up at the old emperor, only to find that the old emperor was actually shipping a couple with Shen Zhiyi.

No, Your Majesty, where did your stern refusal go?

[Alas, it's a pity that the old emperor rejected office romances; this couple was ultimately destined to be cruelly separated by him.]

The old emperor, who was mentioned, composed himself.

Look, after Shen Zhiyi said that, I almost forgot about the important matter.

He pointed to Dark Seven and Dark Nine.

The subtext is: I'll make time to come see him tonight.

Anqi and Anjiu immediately showed a look of fearlessness in their faces.
