I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

But the other party was from Ursus, a damned enemy. Thinking this way, he actually felt quite pleased.

Although he broke the agreement that he would only take action after a major defeat, the True Dragon felt no guilt when he thought about how many Flame People would die in that way.

"you……"

She has to stay.

She had to stay; she had to correct his distorted values.

"Kal'tsit. There's a victory celebration banquet planned at the palace. Come with me."

"Your Highness, wouldn't it be impolite of me to attend the victory celebration banquet..."

Just as the lynx was about to refuse, he grabbed her wrist.

"Come with me, Kal'tsit. It'll be too boring if I go alone."

Bai Zhou's status was too noble, and the prestige he had accumulated over the years was too great, so when he was present, all the ministers' attention would be focused on him. In order to avoid embarrassing this true dragon, Bai Zhou planned to bring someone who could speak with him along.

However, the fairy ran away as soon as she returned, and Bai Zhou couldn't find her anywhere.

If the lynx also refused to go, he couldn't imagine how his foolish younger brother would argue with him about abdicating after the banquet.

"Very well. Since it is your order, I will go with you."

The lynx reluctantly agreed.

The drawbacks of true dragon immortality have already begun to emerge.

This country can only have one true ruler. If he, being an immortal being, does not want to sit in that position, then it is best not to interfere too much in internal affairs. Otherwise, it will lead to the current situation where the person in power lacks prestige, the ministers have different loyalty, and the country has two rulers.

and……

This time, the daytime victory quelled the conflict with overwhelming force, and the soldiers were convinced of the True Dragon Seal that brought them victory and peace, not of the True Dragon Capital, who held a high position in the capital and was waiting for news.

With neither military power nor the hearts of the ministers in their own hands, if it weren't for the fact that their brotherly relationship was so deep that their power was unshakeable, Kal'tsit really couldn't imagine how chaotic the situation in the Yan Kingdom's court would have become under such circumstances.

And indeed, things turned out just as she thought.

Although neither of the two emperors cared, factions were clearly divided among the court officials, with constant open and covert struggles. Such obvious signs of factionalism would likely have been dealt with long ago if they weren't all loyal to the Great Yan.

And... the most troublesome.

Kal'tsit sat beside Bai Zhou, her emerald eyes sweeping over an official who kept glancing in their direction.

It is them.

The immortals of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Looking at herself so frequently...

Are they questioning her motives?

Unfortunately, aside from investigating and correcting the anomaly in Bai Zhou's body, she has no other purpose now.

"Kal'tsit, try this. This pastry was made by the best chef in the capital."

Bai Zhou placed a plate of pastries in front of the lynx and enthusiastically recommended them to her.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Picking up a piece of pastry, taking a bite and savoring it slowly, Kal'tsit continued to ponder the reason for the strange change in Bai Zhou's body.

"It certainly seems to be as Old Ninth said; our guest is very favored by His Highness. He is a true darling of the Emperor's grace."

Gazing at the lynx being stroked by a real dragon from afar, the elder brother picked up a grape and put it in his mouth.

"No matter what we say at this point, Ah Xi is on her side. What should we do?"

The other immortal looked at his elder brother.

"It's alright, we have plenty of time to wait for the right opportunity. Twenty years, forty years, it doesn't matter. We all have a chance before the Dragon Funeral."

"The only condition for her to have a chance is that she will get involved in this mess."

Kal'tsit's plan will only work if she gets involved in the court's infighting. But if she's just a daytime advisor, their preparations will be nothing more than a waste of time.

"Yes, she will. If Ah Xi didn't come to find her to get her involved in the court and build up the Great Yan, then what was the point of finding her? To replace that Chi Yuxiao Feilian as Ah Xi's pet to please him?"

Seeing his elder brother's confident demeanor, the immortal said nothing more and began to savor the wine in his cup.

"This banquet is utterly boring. How dare those mortals speak with us, who are burdened with sins, in front of the true dragon?"

The only person qualified to chat with them was still playing with the cat.

The immortal sighed.

"Otherwise, why would I go to such lengths to bring the true dragon back to its rightful place?"

Only then will they cease to be traitors and truly live freely for themselves in this country.

Only then will they gain the trust of the true dragon, be freed from sin, and become free men.

Returning to the Fifteenth False Truth (Part 1)

"Well……"

The lynx groaned and collapsed limply onto the bed.

"Why did you drink so much?"

During the day, he embraced the lynx and gently fed her a bowl of hangover tea.

He left to chat with a few courtiers for a while, and when he returned, he found that the lynx had drunk a whole bottle of wine by himself.

"Your Highness is very happy today."

The lynx's irrelevant answer made Bai Zhou raise an eyebrow in confusion.

"If Your Highness is happy, then I am happy too."

“Kal'tsit…”

Upon hearing her words, Bai Zhou couldn't help but laugh.

"But even so, you can't drink this much alcohol by yourself."

Drinking too much alcohol can result in a hangover, but if it damages your health, it's definitely not worth it.

"Your Highness..."

"I'm here, what's wrong?"

Hearing the lynx's call, Bai Zhou responded softly.

"The tea is too hot..."

The lynx opened its mouth, and against the backdrop of its white canine teeth, its tender pink cat tongue cautiously extended out.

"...Kal'tsit."

The last time I saw her like this during the day was the last time.

The lynx is probably really drunk, since it doesn't even care about its own manners.

"..."

A moment later, the lynx, its emerald eyes half-closed, leaned against the daylight, its chest heaving slightly.

Is it still hot?

He asked softly during the day, while gently wiping away the drool from her lips.

The lynx shook its head, then nodded.

"In that case, I can't tell whether it's hot or not."

Bai Zhou pinched the lynx's fur, gently brushed its tuft of soft white fur, and smiled contentedly as he placed the teacup back on the bedside table.

"Kal'tsit, what do you want to tell me?"

Even when a lynx is drunk, it will still use its skills to lure him.

"Your Highness..."

A soft murmur came from a dream, and Bai Zhou lowered his head and looked around.

She had fallen asleep and could not return to daylight.

"Never mind... I'll ask again next time."

He gently placed the lynx back on the bed, removed her outer clothes, covered her with a blanket so she could sleep comfortably, and placed the teapot within her reach before getting up and leaving.

"Am I alone tonight?"

Upon returning to his chambers, the immortal did not return.

If he were alone here, he wouldn't be in a hurry to go to sleep during the day. After searching around the house for a while, he took a cup of tea and sat by the window, leaning back in his chair, drinking it while gazing at the two moons in the night sky.

"gentlemen……"

He held the scale ornament in his hand and lifted it up. Moonlight shone through the window onto the scale, making it glow with a clear, subtle light.

Upon closer inspection, each of the three scales is engraved with the image of a woman, either walking or lying down, lifelike.

"Ugh……"

During the day, he clutched his accessories, letting out frequent, slightly melancholic sighs.

"You've come, Ah Xi."

The painter in the bamboo house was still in the same position, ready to paint, but the scrolls on the table were still as white as new.

"sit."

"gentlemen……"

Looking at the face in front of him, Zhenlong obediently sat down opposite her.

"What brings you here today?"

The artist knew how important the difference between the real and the fake was to the true dragon.

However, because of this, she quickly understood why he had come here.

The artist shook his head slightly and sighed helplessly.
