After quickly finishing the rice in his bowl, Luo Tian prepared to get off the table.

Meanwhile, Vigus was still lazily shoveling food into her mouth, seemingly unconcerned about the matter between Luo Tian and Yin Qianyu.

That's how old slackers are. If they haven't been in contact with someone for a long time, they might still be interested in making a few sarcastic remarks about Luo Tian, ​​but once the novelty wears off, they revert to their slacker mode of not caring about anything.

Seeing Luo Tian preparing to get up, Yin Qianyu's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and her charming voice rang out as she parted her red lips.

"We haven't seen each other in ages and we don't even chat. Am I that scary?"

"It's not that you're scaring me, it's that I'm feeling guilty!"

Luo Tian couldn't help but reply in his heart.

However, since Yin Qianyu had already spoken up, Luo Tian could only cough awkwardly twice: "Ahem, there's no wine for dinner tonight! I'm going to go get some."

"Oh?"

Yin Qianyu's eyes sparkled, and her red lips curved into a smile as she said:

"Do you know where the villa's wine cellar is?"

Luo Tian froze instantly.

Although he had lived here for a while, he spent his days working and gaining experience, and occasionally looked at the white stockings of the maids at night. He had no interest in researching where the wine cellar was.

With his lie exposed, Luo Tian had no choice but to sit down obediently again.

Yin Qianyu glanced at Shuangye with a smile in her eyes and spoke softly:

"Go and get your master a bottle of fine wine!"

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the word "master" seemed to be emphasized a bit more in Yin Qianyu's tone.

Frosty Night lowered her head and walked towards the wine cellar.

Inside the restaurant, the atmosphere of the meal suddenly underwent a subtle change.

Frosty Night's departure brought Luo Tian a sense of relief. He then asked Yin Qianyu:

How have you been lately?

Yin Qianyu gently turned the soup spoon with her slender, jade-like fingers, her beautiful eyes filled with a smile as she said:

"What? You only started caring about me after your little maid left?"

"How could that be? I've always cared about you!" Luo Tian retorted.

This isn't Luo Tian lying through his teeth.

While lounging around in the Juying Hall reading newspapers, Luo Tian could see reports about Yin Qianyu almost every day.

Although there are very few photos, the text content is quite detailed.

Some of the gossip even vividly described the affair between the Imperial Princess and her lover who had seized the Sun King's palace, with such detailed accounts that Luo Tian couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Of course, Luo Tian knew that the gigolo they were talking about was himself; otherwise, he would have already picked up his weapon and destroyed that newspaper.

In short, under the propaganda offensive launched by those nobles in an effort to damage Yin Qianyu's reputation, the public was abuzz with rumors about the princess and her gigolo.

At first, Luo Tian was a little angry. In those people's eyes, he had become a pretty boy who was good for nothing except his "special skills". This was a slander against him, both in terms of his personality and his mentality.

The irritable dog even wanted to add a few more "q"s to vent his frustration.

However, during a casual stroll, Luo Tian noticed that when ordinary people mentioned this "pretty boy," their eyes didn't show much disdain, but rather an overwhelming sense of envy.

Even when he interacted with those teenage idols, the girls were very curious about this mysterious gigolo, and some even boldly expressed their desire to test his talents.

The biggest reason for this public reaction is that Yin Qianyu has gained the support of Vigus, the third legendary Yordle, and enjoys good prestige among the people.

In addition, Yin Qianyu's initial proposals, such as building a superhuman academy to recruit students from commoners, aimed at improving the status of commoners and reducing the privileges of nobles, which greatly improved the public's impression of Yin Qianyu.

Therefore, despite this incident, most people viewed it merely as a romantic affair of the future emperor, and it did not cause much of a negative reaction.

After all, there have been quite a few absurd emperors in the history of the Great Yin Empire. As long as they can truly accomplish something, they won't care about these things.

Even the nobles who guided public opinion did not expect this outcome.

They also tried to fabricate several negative news stories about Yin Qianyu, but after several attempts, they found that as long as they dared to fabricate rumors out of thin air, Yin Qianyu would really dare to kill someone.

A viscount thought he could use the negative news to attack Yin Qianyu, but he was assassinated in his study that very night, and all his direct descendants were slaughtered.

In the eyes of the nobles, it seemed that the only romantic matter that Yin Qianyu could tacitly spread was the affair with the male concubine of the Sun King's palace; everything else was considered to be crossing Yin Qianyu's red line.

After realizing the envious attitude of the onlookers, Luo Tian inexplicably accepted this title for himself.

Although it's a little embarrassing, who wouldn't want a rich woman to see through their inner softness and then wait for a beautiful rich woman to enter their heart?

Most of the guys who are so sour-tongued are just waiting for their beautiful, rich wives to appear.

Yin Qianyu was not at all surprised by Luo Tian's righteous rebuttal, but simply smiled faintly and said:

Does gossip count?

Luo Tian's smile froze again.

Yin Qianyu seemed oblivious to Luo Tian's expression. She gently stirred the thick soup in her bowl with a spoon, and spoke slowly through her slightly parted red lips:

"I don't have time to spy on anyone. I just saw a newspaper on the table when I got back."

She paused slightly, a strange emotion flickering in Yin Qianyu's beautiful eyes.

"But doesn't someone think that casually placing tabloids featuring themselves on the living room table is a bit too obvious in its intent?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Luo Tian coughed twice, quickly ending the topic.

"Shall we talk about how you're doing over there?"

At this point, a rare serious expression appeared on Luo Tian's face.

He looked directly into those beautiful, ruby-like eyes and spoke earnestly to Yin Qianyu:

"If anyone bullies you, I can help you deal with some people you don't like."

After a slight pause, Luo Tian added a sentence.

"Anyone!"

Chapter 132 War? Just bring a few war gods!

Yin Qianyu looked directly into Luo Tian's serious eyes, the corners of her lips curving upwards even further.

In fact, as soon as Yin Qianyu learned that Luo Tian had appeared in the Undying City and that a demonic sword named Aatrox had appeared beside him, she guessed that the destruction of the Undying City was Luo Tian's doing.

However, the sacrifices and the fall of the God of Sacrifice in the Blood Moon World were absolutely secret and were immediately sealed off by the many true gods of the Blood Moon World. No one in the entire Star World knew about it, so she did not know the true meaning of the destruction of the Undying City.

All that she and everyone else knew was that the mysterious powerful figure had destroyed the entire Undying City, but they had no idea that a true god with the power of a mid-level god kingdom had also perished in this battle.

Even based on the information already available, Yin Qianyu no longer had any doubts about Luo Tian's strength.

Having single-handedly destroyed the Undead City and annihilated a weak divine being and more than ten demigods within it, he was indeed capable of killing anyone, including the remaining three dukes and seven marquises.

Normally, knowing how powerful Luo Tian is, she should make good use of this powerful ally to help her consolidate her throne.

But she didn't do that; her attitude towards Luo Tian remained unchanged.

For Yin Qianyu, the fact that she was able to return to the palace was already a result of Luo Tian's great help, and the information contained in Luo Tian's wisdom had already benefited her immensely.

She didn't want to, and was unwilling to, borrow Luo Tian's power again.

Call it affectation or the pride of a future empress, Yin Qianyu did not want to rely on Luo Tian for everything and ultimately become his vassal.

In contrast, she would prefer to rightfully become the Empress of the Great Yin Empire, and then marry Luo Tian as Empress on equal footing, making him the Regent of the country.

So, in response to Luo Tian's words, Yin Qianyu simply blinked her beautiful eyes and half-jokingly replied:

"Who can bully me?"

Moreover, often brute force alone cannot solve the problem.

“Power can solve the problem of those who create it!” Luo Tian gave Yin Qianyu an affirmative answer.

Yin Qianyu was slightly moved, but she still shook her head and said:

"But...sometimes, it's not just people who create problems."

In Yin Qianyu's view, Luo Tian was capable of killing the three dukes and seven marquises, but behind these dukes and marquises were huge interest groups, and the intricate network of relationships was like a bone-deep sore that was difficult to remove.

More importantly, behind these dukes and marquises are the shadows of true gods.

The best among them, like the Undying Lord, even have a vast Blood Moon world as their backing.

No matter how strong an individual's abilities are, they cannot truly shake all of this.

Putting down her spoon, Yin Qianyu stood up from her chair and gracefully stepped across the table to gently wipe the corner of Luo Tian's mouth, which was still covered with a grain of rice.

Her jade-like fingers gently brushed against Luo Tian's cheek, leaving a cool sensation and a faint lingering fragrance.

Despite their intimate gestures, Yin Qianyu spoke with utmost seriousness.

I appreciate your good intentions, but things haven't gotten to that point yet.

I will ask for your help if I really need it.

Sitting back down, Yin Qianyu looked at Luo Tian, ​​who was somewhat stunned, and couldn't help but curl a wicked smile into her lips.

Under Luo Tian's gaze, Yin Qianyu parted her red lips slightly, her pink tongue gently brushing against her fair fingers, and swallowed the half grain of rice that she had plucked from Luo Tian's lips with her fingertip.

Then, Yin Qianyu's beautiful, alluring eyes were full of smiles as she said:

Should I say... thank you for the meal?

Luo Tian blushed instantly. When he was drunk earlier, he had told Yin Qianyu quite a few notebooks that he remembered vividly.

In particular, the way the girls in the doujinshi solemnly say "Thank you for the meal" after receiving a certain essence from the protagonist has become the switch to activate the Luo Tian XP system.

He never expected that his self-disclosure of his XP would be remembered by Yin Qianyu and brought up at this moment.

Vigus, who was eating silently to the side, was dumbfounded. She never expected that the two of them would flirt right in front of her as if no one else was around.

She shoved the bowls and chopsticks onto the table, and Vigus, unable to bear such a sight, snorted coldly and said to the shadowy figure:

"Shadow, let's go back to the room!"

The shadowy figure who was watching intently showed displeasure upon hearing Vigus's words, but ultimately did not go against Vigus's wishes.

Carrying Vigus on his back, the shadowy figure stormed back to his room.
