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

Su Liang hesitated and said,

"No, but my sister is this age."

The God of War interrupted him directly.

"What did you call me?"

Looking at her gentle and elegant face, Su Liang quickly changed his words.

"Sister? No, I mean, the Goddess of War sister."

"Pfft~!"

Upon hearing this title, the peerless beauty, revered as a war goddess by tens of thousands of Qin soldiers, smiled gently.

"If a beautiful woman were to hear such a form of address, that would be... truly interesting!"

Why do you call me that?

Su Liang blinked, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over the face of the military god before him.

Her lips were thin and soft, always carrying a meaningful smile, making her unfathomable.

Although her eyes were also phoenix eyes, they lacked the sharpness of Jun Hongyan's. Instead, they were gentle and warm, giving people a sense of peace when they looked at them.

Even in just a white long gown, her graceful figure was undeniable.

Her skin was as white as snow, her figure was tall and slender, and her whole body was free from any trace of worldly dust.

Her black hair was casually loose at the back of her head and tied with a ribbon, highlighting a unique charm amidst her capable demeanor.

In addition, her slender, swan-like neck and delicate, chiseled shoulders exude the unique charm and elegance of a mature older sister.

correct!

Most importantly, it's her temperament!

That inner and outer composure and ease makes people want to rely on her.

That's why Su Liang couldn't help but call her "sister".

Because the renowned military genius before him was undoubtedly the most perfect older sister figure in his mind—gentle, intellectual, always composed, and full of a sense of warmth that made people want to rely on her.

"Calling you 'Master' makes me feel too old; 'Goddess of War' is much more appropriate."

"That doesn't seem like a reason?"

The war god shook his head noncommittally, then abruptly changed the subject.

"But...I agree!"

The war god raised his hand and patted Su Liang's shoulder a few times, finally silently stroking his short hair.

"Whether it's a master and apprentice or siblings, it's just a relationship."

All I can do is teach you some trivial things.

No woman dislikes hearing compliments, and no woman dislikes feeling younger.

Even military geniuses are no exception.

Suddenly, she leaned down and gently pressed her forehead against Su Liang's, whispering softly as he drifted off into a daze.

"Donghuang, my real name is Donghuang Yiren."

"Since you will be my younger brother from now on, as your older sister, I should tell you my real name. And you are the only man who knows this real name."

Su Liang's eyes widened.

"Huh?"

"From now on, I look forward to your guidance, little brother Su."

At this moment, facing the smiling and warm face of Donghuang Yiren, Su Liang actually felt as if he were being pampered by his older sister.

Especially the gentle and broad embrace of the God of War made him reluctant to leave.

Moreover, this feeling is completely different from being with a beautiful woman.

When dealing with that strong-willed empress, he was more about challenging and exploring her bottom line, treating her as a mountain to conquer and as a woman.

But when facing the beautiful woman from Donghuang, Su Liang could undoubtedly put aside his pride and all his burdens.

She's just an older sister I can confide in!

Then.

Donghuang Yiren released Su

"Liang," he said softly.

"Although I heard about your affairs a couple of days ago, I couldn't meet you in person. If you don't mind, please tell me about it."

"Say as much as you feel comfortable, don't force it too much."

Afterwards, Su Liang recounted his experiences over the past two days to Donghuang Yiren.

This was also the first time he had proactively explained it to others.

Jun Hongyan always had more information than he did, while Su Lian didn't need to know much at all.

When you think about it, he actually has no one to confide in.

This self-talk made Su Liang feel like he was a peddler praising his own wares.

But Donghuang Yiren listened with exceptional focus, so much so that Su Liangqing couldn't help but intend to reveal all the secrets.

Fortunately, he held back in the end; sometimes, saying too much can be harmful.

After listening to Su Liang's description, Donghuang Yiren pondered for a moment before sitting down on a bench not far away.

At the same time, she gestured for Su Liang to sit next to her.

Her gaze was filled with praise, a far cry from the provocation she had shown towards Su Liang in the past; it was now filled with gentle appreciation.

Previously, under immense pressure, such arrogance would only lead to certain death, so she had no choice but to suppress it and exert considerable pressure!

Now that she can finally shed her disguise, Donghuang Yiren breathed a sigh of relief.

She sighed deeply.

"Top of the list of geniuses, an unparalleled prodigy, although it's just an empty title, but... very good!"

"After decades of silence, the Great Qin has finally produced a prodigy who can rival any sect."

"If others find out how long you've been cultivating, you'll be even more untouchable!"

Changing the subject, the Eastern Beauty gave a mischievous smile.

"But your lover should have already taken care of it for you."

"Too many admonitions will be a constraint for you. You just need to understand that this is just the beginning."

"The world is vast, and what you see is only the tip of the iceberg. You still have a long way to go."

Donghuang Yiren paused for a moment, then continued.

"Of course!"

"What I'm saying are all my own opinions. It would be great if you could take them to heart, but if you can't, there's no need to remember them."

"I will keep your words in mind, Sister War God."

Suddenly, the beautiful woman from Donghuang smiled and said,

"Anything you say?"

"what?"

For some reason, when Su Liang looked at her face at that moment, he felt a sudden unease, as if he had been tricked by a mischievous older sister.

This doesn't fit the image of a military genius!

After chatting for a while, it was already evening.

Su Liang didn't bother him any further, but before leaving, he couldn't help but turn back.

(I'm almost drained, just 30 more to break 500)

Chapter Fifty-Three: Immeasurable Merit, Only Death as Retribution

The Eastern Emperor knew this perfectly well.

"Do you have any doubts?"

Su Liang nodded.

"Sister War Goddess, your attitude towards me... seems quite different?"

however.

Faced with this question, Donghuang Yiren simply smiled and shook her head.

"Using thinking instead of asking questions is often a good choice."

"So you mean?"

"My sister won't tell you."

"..."

After leaving the God of War's mansion, Su Liang struggled for a long time but still couldn't figure out the reason.

He vaguely sensed that something was amiss.

correct!

Given the nature of this system, it shouldn't be this quiet, right?

When I saw Jun Hongyan, Su Lian, or even Jun Ruoxue before, the system would pop up in this situation and reveal the other party's identity.

This military genius before us shouldn't be an unknown figure, right?

"Of course not!"

"But I'm just afraid you'll misunderstand and start suspecting me again."

As a diligent and honest system, maintaining a pure image is also very difficult for me!
