StarCraft: The Extinction Commander is completely smitten.

Chapter 147 [147] Stunningly Beautiful

"Don't worry, ordinary people can't hurt me."

"Even you can't hurt me, let alone anyone else."

Mu Xingyue pursed her lips arrogantly, her arrogance and domineering attitude no less than that of Xia Lanling and the others.

“My dear, I’ll arrange for someone to come directly to the Emperor’s residence right now.”

"Once they arrive, someone will naturally lead them to the top floor to meet us."

Xia Lanling's lips curled up slightly, and a smile rippled slowly across her eyes.

He gazed at the person before him, secretly sighing in his heart: She truly is his most beloved little darling!
Such a broad mind and grand vision are truly not something that ordinary people can possess.

"Okay, then let's quickly notify them to come over."

"If you need anything private and want to discuss it privately, you can move to the next room to talk about it."

Mu Xingyue smiled charmingly, and a hint of cunning flashed across her beautiful eyes.

She sat there obediently with her hands folded in front of her, like a blooming flower, beautiful and charming.

However, only Mu Xingyue herself knew that with her current cultivation level and supernatural powers, even if she sat quietly and motionless, no movement within a radius of hundreds of miles could escape her notice.

She could clearly perceive not only the sounds of people talking, but even the faintest sound of an ant crawling.

So, the so-called 'eavesdropping' was completely unnecessary for her. She could have just openly and brazenly listened to everything, hehe...

Thinking of this, Mu Xingyue couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

Upon hearing Guabao's words, Xia Lanling instantly became agitated, like a powder keg that had been ignited.

A strong sense of unease immediately welled up in his heart; his intuition told him that this was definitely not good news.

The thought that his beloved child had so 'generously' allowed him to talk to Luo Hanyi and Luo Bao'er alone felt like a heavy blow to his heart, and his face instantly turned ashen.

"Honey, there's absolutely no way I could have any private conversations with them!"

"If they hold such thoughts, then I have absolutely nothing more to say to them!"

Xia Lanling clenched her teeth and squeezed out the words, each one seemingly carrying deep anger and resentment.

Then, he added urgently, "Sweetie, if you don't believe what I'm saying, then I might as well not go see them at all!"

"Anyway, no one is more important to me than you."

At this moment, Xia Lanling had completely lost his usual calmness and rationality. All he could think about was how could his darling not care about him?
The feeling was like a sharp dagger piercing his heart, causing him so much pain that he could barely breathe, and his heart was shattered into countless pieces.

Pei Yi and Feng Jue exchanged a glance and then smiled simultaneously, their smiles containing a hint of schadenfreude and an undisguised joy.

The two couldn't help but chuckle, secretly thinking: This really is karma!
The other beastmen couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably.

Recalling the Emperor's arrogant and domineering demeanor of the past, and then looking at his pitiful and aggrieved appearance now, it was as if they were two completely different people. Such a huge contrast made it hard for them to believe that the person they were seeing was the same person.

Mu Xingyue, sitting to the side, seemed somewhat conflicted.

Her beautiful peach blossom eyes blinked innocently, her gaze first falling on Pei Yi and the others, then slowly shifting to Cong Sun, as if trying to decipher something from their expressions.

Mu Xingyue said softly, "Ah Ling, it's always good to save face for others in some matters."

"After all, we are all people of status."

After saying that, she sighed softly, a hint of helplessness appearing on her face.

Then, Mu Xingyue turned to Xia Lanling and continued, "The reason I let you talk to them alone is naturally because I trust you."

"Does it have to be me being a jealous person, controlling this and that, for it to be considered true love?"

At this point, she frowned slightly, clearly feeling somewhat troubled by Xia Lanling's pettiness and tendency to make wild guesses.

The emperor of the Starry Sky Empire, usually a powerful and awe-inspiring ruler, is surprisingly sensitive and delicate when it comes to matters of the heart, even a little petty.

The slightest breeze or rustling sound can set him off into a long, rambling reverie, which is truly both amusing and exasperating.

However, it is precisely this concern and tension that demonstrates Xia Lanling's deep affection for her.

Xia Lanling was slightly taken aback, her heart filled with surprise and emotion.

He never imagined that his beloved child, whom he had always considered delicate and adorable, would have such a delicate and thoughtful mind.

She was not only thinking of him, but also putting herself in the shoes of the Luo siblings, which is why she deliberately gave him enough personal space to handle this matter.

Upon realizing this, Xia Lanling felt a wave of guilt wash over her, realizing that her previous thoughts were truly a case of judging others by one's own petty standards.

So he gently took his beloved darling's hand, gazed deeply into her clear, watery eyes, and said apologetically, "Darling, it's all my fault. I misunderstood you. I apologize."

Mu Xingyue simply smiled slightly and shook her head gently, indicating that she didn't care.

Then, Xia Lanling continued, "But, my dear, there's really no need for me to meet with them alone."

"While their willingness to hand over the jade mine to the Empire is commendable, it does not mean that they can make any demands on me based on this."

"After all, I am a dignified emperor, and my strength is evident to all under heaven."

"If everyone thinks they can easily win me over with material wealth, wouldn't I become a money-grubbing, unprincipled person?"

When Xia Lanling said these words, his tone was firm and powerful, demonstrating the majesty and demeanor befitting an emperor.

"That's right, my Ah Ling is a dignified emperor, how could she be like the emperor who is only interested in money?"

Mu Xingyue smiled, her eyes crinkling, and gently moved the hand in Xia Lanling's hand, tickling Xia Lanling's palm. This made Xia Lanling's heart tremble violently, as if brushed by a feather.

Soon, someone came to report that the people who were supposed to pick up Luo Hanyi and Luo Bao'er had arrived downstairs and were asking the Emperor whether they should be allowed to go up to the top floor now!
