The life-bound scale he held in his hand could make Mu Huaye willingly become his tool to solidify his position as leader, and use Qiao Mo as a sample for treating the genetic disease!

But as Mu Huaye grew stronger, he had to reassess his situation.

As this tool gained increasing prestige within the military, his own position as leader became increasingly precarious.

That's why when Wei Yun relayed the message that "Mu Huaye is seriously ill and will not live much longer," he forbade Mu Huaye to return.

Mu Huaye should either die in the Empire or leave the Federation and become a male in the Empire who cannot live without the comfort of females!

But now, his own life-bound scales are useless. How can he control this madman?

Could it be... could it be that all this talk of love at first sight is fake, and that Mu Huaye was just using that princess?

After recovering from his illness, he returned to the Federation to seize the leadership position?

The more Qiao Yan thought about it, the more murderous intent he could hide in his eyes when he looked at Mu Huaye.

Mu Huaye seemed completely oblivious to his pale face and went about his own business, offering a curtsy.

"I'm going to muster the troops. I'll be in command myself in two hours... Father, please take good care of yourself."

The last five words were emphasized.

Mu Huaye gave him a meaningful look, then left without turning back.

Qiao Yan's originally sinister gaze froze instantly.

He watched Mu Huaye leave, and after a long while, he slowly clenched his fist.

What does that mean?

Could it be that he... knows?!

Mu Huaye turned a corner and scoffed dismissively.

It's a miracle that this old snake has survived this long.

He actually still wanted to use me to get close to Jiang Zhixia?

You're dreaming.

Anyway, by some twist of fate, the missing scales have been replaced, and I have formed a contract with Jiang Zhixia... I no longer need to worry about being controlled by that monster with my mental power.

The position of federal leader definitely needs to be changed.

……

Jiang Zhixia had no idea that a foster father and son, who had no feelings for each other, were suspicious of each other about who was using her.

She was explaining to her sensitive husband that she really hadn't slept with Mu Huaye!

"...That's how it is. I was unconscious at the time, my spirit was out of control, I just made the contract, I didn't do anything else, uh, although it seems like I forced him... After I recovered, I wanted to find him and settle this matter, but he's run away now..."

Su Chen lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

What should I do? The more I hear about it, the more I want to kill that snake!

He knew that his current stubbornness, making the female explain herself, was quite unsightly.

But he just wasn't willing to do it.

That day, the princess came to see him!

What Mu Huaye stole was his favor!

Because it is a locked male, it is suppressed and unable to break free.

Mu Huaye, do you really think you've hidden your true feelings well?

The way you look at the princess has changed a long time ago!

He watched the surveillance footage from that day over and over again.

He saw it all clearly: how the snake went into heat in front of the princess, how it passionately kissed her, and how it restrained yet indulgently stroked her cheek.

What coercion? It was clearly the snake who took advantage of the princess's unconsciousness, mistaking her for itself, and that's why...

After Jiang Zhixia finished explaining, she saw that the man in front of her kept his head down and didn't say anything, so she was a little unsure.

...I really didn't sleep!

But the contract was indeed concluded.

In this world, forming a bond is comparable to the marriage certificate of the 21st century!

Su Chen's anger... was indeed inevitable.

A sob suddenly entered her ear.

"I'm sorry... Princess, I... I'm not blaming you, it's Mu Huaye's fault, it's all his fault..."

She was stunned.

After hesitating for a moment, she squatted down, tilted her head back, and craned her neck to look closely at his face.

Su Chen's eyes indeed reddened.

A layer of moisture welled up in those usually gentle and composed eyes, forming teardrops that fell silently.

Through the haze, Su Chen saw the female master watching him. He immediately raised his hand hastily, wanting to wipe away the tears, but his fingertips were trembling.

The sense of fragmentation is overwhelming.

Jiang Zhixia swallowed.

It's kind of beautiful... Su Chen really does look best when he cries.

Wait! No! Her morality is in danger!

Jiang Zhixia stood up, salvaging her fragile moral compass, and cupped Su Chen's face, wiping away his tears.

"I'll handle this, don't cry."

Su Chen felt the gentle caress and leaned forward slightly.

A kiss tinged with tears landed on her lips.

Jiang Zhixia let him kiss her, patting him reassuringly, her palm resting on his much thinner shoulders.

Mu Huaye's matter absolutely needs to be resolved.

The contract can be dissolved, and only the female can do so herself.

...But to lock down this matter, we can only discuss it with him personally.

That's incredible! She had a bomb in her heart, yet she still had control over it, and that mad snake dared to run away!

Compared to Mu Huaye's childhood, adolescence, and even his "future" period, the current Mu Huaye always manages to drive her to the brink of a heart attack.

This isn't just being attracted! Absolutely not!

This contract must be dissolved!

Su Chen kissed her briefly for a while, then pulled away slightly.

He took her hand, pressed it against his cheek, and gently rubbed it.

"My lady, I understand... Aren't you going to find Jiang Ting? He must be feeling very complicated right now. Go ahead."

After saying that, he slowly released her, looking every bit the understanding and considerate person.

Jiang Zhixia did indeed have feelings for Jiang Ting.

She nodded, stroking his tired-looking brows and eyes: "You must have put in a lot of effort to find so much information. Don't stay up any longer, go and get some rest."

Su Chen nodded obediently.

Seeing how obedient he was, and still worried about Jiang Ting who was on the verge of exploding in anger, Jiang Zhixia had no choice but to turn around and leave.

The door to the research room closed gently.

Su Chen closed his eyes, regretting his loss of composure.

A moment later, he turned around and went to the control panel to bring up the slave chip's access permissions interface.

Mu Huaye's location light was flashing, but it has stopped.

This location... is it at a Federation base?

……

At this moment, Jiang Ting was sitting in the cockpit of the mecha, his eyes closed, trying his best to calm himself down.

He learned everything about his biological mother from the Queen.

No matter how detailed the Queen's description was, it was still too unfamiliar.

But he remembered that the Queen had said something else.

Before she died, Mingyue used all her strength to hold onto the Queen Mother, begging her to take care of her and help her grow up safely.

Jiang Ting lowered his eyes, unable to suppress his anger even in the cockpit where he could best concentrate.

His mother loved him dearly.

But even after death, he was so humiliated...

"Jiang Ting!"

A shout came from over.

Immediately afterwards, a rapid "click-clack" sound came from the outer shell, echoing in the enclosed space.

Jiang Ting was slightly taken aback.
