Do you think this world is serious?

"Let's leave this conversation here. We already have a plan for the counterattack on Hek'zal and Jormungandr."

Once serious matters are mentioned, the stargazer reverts to his solemn and dignified self-description.

It is no secret that Huang Kingdom is in a weak position in the international situation, and its citizens are more or less aware of this.

Since neither Hikzal nor Jormungandr deliberately targeted the Kingdom of Huang, as long as the Kingdom of Huang did not actively intervene in the conflict between the two countries, they would usually live in peace, at least until the two countries decided a winner.

Therefore, if the Observer were to order an offensive against Hekhzal or Jormungandr, the army would not disobey, but its morale would inevitably be low due to the lack of hope for victory.

"Before issuing the formal declaration of war, the Huang Kingdom needs to ignite the flames of victory."

Guan Xing spoke with a firm and confident tone, indicating that he had already finalized a specific plan.

Chen Xiuming sat up straight and responded just as seriously: "Please explain in detail, Mr. Stargazer."

"Ahem... No need to be so serious, you can just call me Stargazer or Theresa."

Slightly embarrassed, Guan Xing continued, "Legend has it that in a mysterious valley, there exists a mysterious and dreamlike lake inhabited by sacred 'spirits,' and all who see it will receive the spirits' blessings and assistance."

"what do you mean……"

Chen Xiuming seemed to be deep in thought. "This isn't a fabricated legend?"

“That valley really exists, and so do the ‘lake spirits’.”

When the "lake spirits" were mentioned, Guan Xing's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

Prime Minister Rita noticed the change in the stargazer's expression and couldn't help but reveal a faint, almost imperceptible smile.

The "lake spirits" are not only not fictional legends, but are also very "down-to-earth".

"..."

Chen Xiuming fell into thought.

Although I had never heard of related stories when playing games before, since the stargazer was so certain that it was not a legend, it must be true.

"So before we launch a counterattack on Hek'zal and Jormungandr, we need the help of the Lake Spirits to give the people and the army hope for victory?"

"Yes."

"What to do?"

Although Chen Xiuming felt that it would be simpler and more convenient to just push through, seeing Guan Xing's confident and determined appearance, he didn't mind following Guan Xing's plan to conquer Hekhzal and Jormungandr step by step.

With Delta and Kiana of the End as backup, even if the Stargazing Plan completely collapses, they can still turn the tide.

"It's very simple, just go to where the 'Lake Sprite' is and look for the 'Lake Sprite'."

"……It's that simple?"

Chen Xiuming looked puzzled.

Guan Xing nodded slightly, his expression somewhat strange.

“We are old acquaintances of the ‘Lake Spirit,’ and she will lend us a hand.”

Although Chen Xiuming was skeptical, he still chose to believe in stargazing.

Prime Minister Rita took out her phone at the opportune moment, brought up the map, marked the location of the "Lake Spirit," and then, with a slight bow, placed the phone in front of Chen Xiuming.

Because she was dressed in a rather revealing white flag, Prime Minister Rita's slight bow inevitably revealed her proud chest and seemingly bottomless abyss.

Even if Chen Xiuming didn't look at it intentionally, his gaze would inevitably be drawn to it.

The valley where the "Lake Spirit" is located is within the territory of the Huang Kingdom, but it is quite far from the Huang Forbidden City, about a day and a night's journey by carriage.

Chen Xiuming marked the valley where the "Lake Spirits" lived on his phone's map, then looked at the girls beside him and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he made a decision: he would take Cecilia, Moonlit Embrace, Wendy, Zofia, and Ainmed with him to find the "Lake Spirit," leaving the other girls in the Forbidden City or home to await their return.

The girls had few objections, though Delta and Angelia were somewhat dissatisfied, but they didn't insist on going with Chen Xiuming.

"There's no time like the present, let's set off now."

Chen Xiuming nodded to the stargazer, then got up and led the girls away.

Prime Minister Rita bowed slightly to Guan Xing, then quickly caught up with Chen Xiuming and the others, leading them away from Huangjin City and providing them with a vehicle for transportation. Guan Xing was left alone in the hall, watching everyone leave.

"It's still unclear whether this move is good or bad, but it is indeed a 'breakthrough' that we can seize..."

"Besides..."

"Maintaining the prosperity of the Huang Kingdom for hundreds of years, we... I am indeed a little tired."

The whispered murmurs of stargazing echoed softly, only to be swallowed by silence, leaving behind a faint, almost inaudible sigh.

Chapter 245 Wendy: Want to take a bath together?

That night.

Although the valley where the "Lake Spirits" lived was far from the Forbidden City, Chen Xiuming and his companions did not travel all night. Instead, they found a nearby city to stay in as night fell.

Driving is usually a rather tedious activity, but the scenery within the Huang Kingdom is quite beautiful, which undoubtedly makes up for the boredom.

Furthermore, being away from the city will not affect network performance, and you can still enjoy the online world when you're bored.

The girls were all in high spirits, except for Wendy, who seemed a little sullen because her date had been interrupted.

Upon seeing this, Cecilia leaned close to Wendy's ear, offering gentle comfort and promising to give Chen Xiuming to her that night.

Upon receiving Cecilia's promise, Wendy's mood instantly brightened, and she even began to fantasize about the wonderful experience that night.

Cecilia chuckled, glanced down at the map navigation, and seeing that there were still a few minutes left to reach the nearby city, she put away her phone and looked out the car window at the twilight that was about to set.

Like a weary traveler, the setting sun slowly sinks in the west, casting its afterglow across the sky in a golden-red hue.

The clouds were dyed a warm orange-yellow, as if they were intoxicated by the gentleness of the twilight.

Chen Xiuming drove his car into a hotel parking lot, asking Cecilia, "Have you booked a room?"

"Not yet, do you want to order online?"

"Never mind, we're already at the hotel, let's just go to the front desk and make a reservation."

Chen Xiuming shook his head slightly, then pushed open the door and got out of the car.

Yuexia Chuyong, who was in the passenger seat, followed closely behind and took Chen Xiuming's arm, sticking close to him.

Cecilia wasn't as clingy as she was during their moonlit embrace, but she still took Chen Xiuming's other arm.

Wendy, Zofia, and Irnmed walked behind the three. The former was absent-minded, lost in thought, still imagining the pleasures of the night, while the latter two remained calm and showed little reaction.

Because of its proximity to the Forbidden City, Chen Xiuming was not worried about expenses and naturally chose to stay in the best room.

To continue their date, which was temporarily interrupted during the day, Chen Xiuming chose to share a room with Wendy, while Cecilia and Yuexia Chuyong, and Zofia and Aynmed stayed in rooms on the left and right sides respectively.

"Honey, get some rest early—don't stay up too late, we have to get up early to travel tomorrow."

Cecilia softly gave Chen Xiuming some advice, and didn't forget to kiss him as a "goodnight kiss".

He didn't say much during their moonlit embrace, but simply followed Cecilia's example and gave her a "goodnight kiss."

Before entering the guest room, Einmed specifically stated that she could call her anytime if she needed anything.

Since booking the room, Wendy has remained silent, her head slightly lowered, clutching Chen Xiuming's clothes, and following closely behind him.

With a slight sound, Chen Xiuming opened the guest room door with his room key and led Wendy inside.

Wendy's body trembled slightly. Although she had been looking forward to it for a long time, she was actually a little nervous and uneasy as her "dream was about to come true".

"Xiu, Xiu Ming, should we... should we start right away, or... take a shower first?"

Even if Wendy has learned a lot of relevant experience beforehand, she will still have a blank mind when she tries to do it and not know what to do.

"Generally speaking, a Herrscher's body should always remain pure and flawless, right?"

Chen Xiuming asked curiously.

[Herrscher] is a perfect being, not only with a physique superior to that of ordinary people, but also with a body that is never tainted by dust, always maintaining a flawless purity.

Upon hearing this, Wendy stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence, and could only lower her head and tightly clutch Chen Xiuming's clothes.

Chen Xiuming reached out and gently stroked Wendy's face, caressing her delicate and warm skin.

Even before they had officially begun their intimate moments, Wendy's body temperature had already risen noticeably.

As Chen Xiuming stroked her, Wendy couldn't help but let out a soft gasp, her delicate body trembling slightly.

If you listen carefully, you can even faintly hear the "squeaking" sound of water splashing out.

"Woo..."

"Xiu Ming, I... I'll go take a shower first..."

Wendy let out a soft, mournful cry, but she was reluctant to part from Chen Xiuming's hand that was stroking her cheek.

Chen Xiuming chuckled and playfully rubbed Wendy's cheeks a few times before agreeing, "Okay, I'll wait until you're done washing before I take a shower."

"Um……"

Wendy made a muffled nasal sound, then walked into the bathroom, glancing back every few steps.

Hotel bathrooms are usually made of semi-transparent frosted glass, allowing a glimpse of a hazy figure behind the glass, yet stopping there, which easily creates a hazy, alluring effect.

The glass door to the bathroom closed quietly, and before Chen Xiuming could sit down on the sofa next to him, Wendy opened the glass door again, revealing only half of her shy and timid face.

"Xiu, Xiu Ming, do you...do you want to take a bath with me?"

Before she could finish speaking, Wendy seemed to want to increase her leverage, so she quickly added, "I, I can rub your back."

"...Then I shall accept it without hesitation."

Since Wendy had already extended such a warm invitation, Chen Xiuming naturally wouldn't refuse.

Seeing that Chen Xiuming had actually agreed, Wendy was overjoyed but also felt extremely shy, and immediately shrank into the bathroom.

However, when Chen Xiuming pushed open the door and entered the bathroom, Wendy was already completely naked. Meeting Chen Xiuming's seemingly appreciative gaze, she subconsciously reached out and covered her private parts.

"Xiu Ming, you, you should take off your clothes..."

Wendy didn't dare look Chen Xiuming in the eye, and continued in a whisper, "Or... I, I'll help you take off your clothes?"

"Then you can do it."
