Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

"Who is she?"

Su Liang forced a smile, glanced back at Su Lian, and was just about to speak when he felt his body lighten.

Under Su Liang's gaze, Su Lian took a step forward and stood facing Jun Hongyan.

"Su Lian, Lian's beloved Lian, is from the same clan as Brother Su, and it was Brother Su who saved me."

She smiled sweetly and said matter-of-factly.

"To repay Brother Su's kindness, I will follow Brother Su closely from now on. If Brother Su asks for anything, Su Lian will do her best to fulfill it."

"Oh, so she's a 'adopted' sister."

Hey, hey, hey, are you speeding in public?!

While Su Liang was filled with resentment, Jun Hongyan coldly met Su Lian's gaze.

At that moment, it seemed as if anyone who appeared among them would instantly be taken away by the biting cold.

"And who are you?"

Su Lian frowned and asked unhappily.

“Me? I am your brother Su’s fiancée, a marriage bestowed by the Emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty. Perhaps you can call me sister-in-law.”

To put it bluntly, he's my man!

Jun Hongyan's words were cold, each word like a cold-blooded knife, devoid of any emotion.

After she spoke, everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to breathe.

Su Liang felt like his head was about to explode. The Empress versus the Demon Emperor, something he had worried about for so long, had finally happened, and it was so exciting.

He recalled the system's seductive words from before and now wanted to tear the system out and give it a good talking to.

These two just happened to bump into each other, how can that be considered great luck?

I'd be lucky to escape with a whole corpse after being killed by these two women.

The system was well aware of his thoughts, and perhaps to mock Su Liang's predicament, the system panel slowly rose in front of Su Liang.

[Survival Quest Triggered - Prehistoric Catastrophe: The Empress Meets the Demon King.]

[How will the Empress deal with the Demon Emperor? And how will she find a safe haven?]

[Please navigate the complex relationship between the Empress and the Demon Emperor to find a way to survive.]

[Mission failed, but you're rewarded with a machete and a fine boat, and a free coffin made of thousand-year-old sandalwood.]

[Mission successful! You will gain the support of both the Empress and the Demon Emperor, making you unparalleled in the world for living off women!]

"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Su Liang secretly wiped away a tear and questioned the system.

Fortunately.

The confrontation between the two did not last long.

After all, Jun Hongyan is a very composed person. If it weren't for the fact that it was so unexpected, she would never have lost her composure like this.

It is precisely because of this that Su Liang's status is particularly evident.

On the other side...

Su Lian gradually lost confidence.

She seemed to understand where Su Liang's sighs from the past came from.

"How could it be so exaggerated!"

Intimidated by Jun Hongyan's unprecedentedly powerful aura, Su Lian looked down at her own hill several times.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she looked away.

Ultimately, she lost her temper and couldn't help but let go of Su Liang's arm.

We can't compete, and we can't afford to be bigger.

That's not the standard a normal human should have; even female demon bulls rarely have such perfection.

In other words, Jun Hongyan didn't hear it, otherwise...

Immediately following.

The moment Su Lian released Su Liang's hand, this war without gunpowder silently came to an end.

"that...

"

(Without further ado, here's an extra chapter tonight.)

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Empress's Reward (Bonus Chapter)

Seeing that he had a chance to speak, Su Liang was about to speak when Jun Hongyan calmly gave an order.

"Someone, prepare a welcoming feast for the Prince Consort."

As she finished speaking, she glanced in Su Lian's direction, her beautiful face as calm as ever.

"We must not neglect our manners. We will escort Miss Su Lian to bathe and change clothes together. If we are negligent, we will be punished accordingly."

"promise!"

Afterwards, everyone bowed in response.

Deep within the princess's residence, Su Liang was already seated in the fragrant bath.

This is where Jun Hongyan bathed, and naturally, the fragrance of a certain empress wafted everywhere.

Su Liang took a light sniff, but didn't dare to get too absorbed in it. He immediately made a mental call to the system.

"Damn system, come out and give me an explanation."

"In the years before, I did nothing, so why did I encounter two world-destroying bosses in a short period of time?"

"Both the Empress and the Demon Queen have some connection to me?"

The system immediately popped up and retorted.

"Pah, brat, don't try to pin everything on me."

"You're the one who wanted to be a pushover, saving one person after another. I offered you such a generous reward back then, but you ignored it, and now you're blaming me?"

However, after making this explanation, he immediately burst out laughing.

"However, you can completely change the path you take from here on out through your own efforts."

"for example?"

"Practice your moral principles and change them."

"You who consider yourself a good person, will you let them become world-destroying demons despised by everyone, or will you change their fate and guide them towards goodness?"

"As for why you were allowed to meet them, that's a secret, and you don't have the authority to know."

Su Liang's lips twitched slightly. As expected of this trash system, it's utterly worthless!

This is someone who has figured out their own weakness and is gambling with themselves!

And he knew perfectly well that he wouldn't refuse.

To refuse is tantamount to admitting defeat, and it signifies a wavering of one's own principles.

That doesn't align with Su Liang's worldview.

Then.

The system disappeared amidst a burst of laughter, probably starting to feel smug about its latest idea.

For the first twenty years, he was thinking about teaching Su Liang to become a villain.

Unfortunately, all his attempts ended in failure. Recently, however, he seemed to have a breakthrough and finally came up with a perfect solution.

They're looking for a beautiful, ruthless female demon. Will you help her or not?

Do you influence them, or do they influence you?

Let's wait and see!

Just as Su Liang was cursing the system for being unfair and unworthy of being friends with a gentleman like him, a beautiful figure appeared outside the bath.

Su Liang assumed it was a maidservant coming to serve him, and only turned around when he heard footsteps approaching.

He already has enough headaches to deal with and doesn't want to get involved in anything else.

Don't end up with a mangled corpse.

So, Su Liang cleared his throat and slowly spoke to the approaching figure behind him.

"I don't need anyone to serve me. No matter whose orders you came by, leave now."

But the footsteps did not stop because of Su Liang's words.

Instead, they continued moving forward and were now almost beside Su Liang.

Didn't I tell you to leave quickly?

Su Liang frowned slightly and turned to look at the figure behind him.

But amidst the wisps of smoke, a beautiful woman in a bathrobe parted the mist, revealing a fairy-like, unparalleled face.

Jun Hongyan stepped out, and beneath her bathrobe, her alluringly voluptuous figure was revealed.

Her tall figure and long, jade-like legs made someone feel as if they had lost their soul.

Su Liang had no complaints left; he just swallowed hard and stared intently in that direction, unwilling to look away.

Little did he expect that it would be Jun Hongyan who arrived!

"What, you want to kick me out too? This is my residence."

As Jun Hongyan spoke, she had already reached Su Liang's side. She still did not stop, but took a step forward, her bathrobe fluttering in the wind.

In the bath, ripples spread across the water.

Su Liang felt his mind go blank, just like when he accidentally saw that body in front of him.
