She found overly bulging muscles unattractive, while overly lean muscles made her look like a monkey.

Someone like him... should be just right, he's got a pretty good physique.

Suddenly, Esdeath froze.

She didn't quite understand her own behavior.

It's strange, why am I scrutinizing a man's body?

My real intention was... to see if he was secretly possessing any of Zank's Imperial Arms!

Lu Ye felt a little embarrassed being stared at like that by a woman.

He remembered a show he had watched before called "World of Treasures".

At that moment, he felt like a beautiful piece of jade, and Esdeath was the connoisseur.

Now Lu Ye only hopes that she won't end up like Wang Gang, smashing herself to pieces with a hammer after appraising the treasure.

After checking Lu Ye's clothes, Esdeath confirmed that Lu Ye did not have any other Imperial Arms.

The ice in the room gradually melted.

Without hesitation, Lu Ye quickly put on her clothes, otherwise she would catch a cold.

"Alright, I'll believe you for now. You don't have any Imperial Arms of Zank hidden on you."

"Then... General, may I leave now?" Lu Ye couldn't help but ask.

"You can leave now. Remember not to trespass on my property again, or next time you'll be turned into a human stick."

After uttering these harsh words, Esdeath resolutely turned away, leaving Lu Ye with a dashing silhouette.

"Oh... but I have another question, is that alright?" Lu Ye wasn't in a hurry to leave.

"explain."

"Why are you so sure that the Imperial Arm is on me?" Lu Ye asked. "I could have hidden it somewhere else."

Esdeath paused for a moment, as sunlight streamed through the dome of the room and fell upon her.

She turned around, half of her face bathed in sunlight, like snow in winter, glowing with a faint red light.

To be honest, she also found it a bit strange.

I clearly didn't have this intention at the beginning.

A person can only have one Imperial Arms. Even if Lu Ye kept it for himself, he should have either hidden it away or sold it.

But as if by some strange twist of fate, her body moved naturally, stopping Lu Ye in his tracks.

But how can you say something like "I don't know why, but I just want to keep you here"?

So Esdeath casually said:

"It's just a gut feeling. Since we're already here, we might as well get checked out."

Upon hearing this answer, Lu Ye couldn't help but smile.

That was pure mockery.

However, he didn't dare to laugh out loud, so his laughter was gentle, with a kind of warm care for the mentally challenged.

He had initially thought Esdeath had some important clue, but he never expected it to be for this reason.

He was surprised by the way of thinking of this cold woman, which reminded him of Gian.

To put it nicely, it's called "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

To put it bluntly, this is called being unreasonable and domineering.

Do you know the principle of presumption of innocence?

However, considering that this was not Earth, Lu Ye didn't say anything more, said "I'm sorry to bother you" and turned to walk towards the door.

"By the way, could I ask about your birthplace and age? Although it could be found out with a simple investigation, I don't want to spend that much time."

The voice came from Esdeath behind her, and she naturally asked the two questions.

"Oh, I'm twenty-one years old now, and I was born in a small village on the border of the empire."

Although he didn't understand why Esdeath asked that question, Lu Ye still answered.

After saying that, he left the room.

Watching Lu Ye's departing figure, Esdeath quietly covered her chest with her hand.

She didn't quite understand.

Why... am I feeling this in my chest?

After a moment of thought, Esdeath slowly frowned, as if she had realized something.

"Could it be... that I'm having a heart attack?"

……

night.

Esdeath's bedroom.

"General Esdeath, all the tests have been done, and your health is excellent with no abnormalities."

The female doctor, with wrinkles around her eyes, packed away her medical kit.

She is Esdeath's personal physician. While her medical skills may not be exceptional, she is certainly adept at basic diagnosis.

Esdeath met her when she first joined the army. Although she fought bravely, she still suffered some minor injuries.

All Esdeath can do on the battlefield is take emergency measures.

Whenever she returned from the battlefield, she would ask this woman, who was about twenty years older than her, to heal her wounds.

Even now, Esdeath is almost immune to injury while charging across the battlefield, but she still keeps the female doctor by her side.

There is no other reason.

It was because when she had paid the registration fee to join the army and had no money for food, this female doctor gave her a freshly baked, warm loaf of bread.

"Is there anything wrong with my body?" Esdeath didn't doubt what the female doctor said, and couldn't help but ponder, "Then that's strange, why am I feeling a strange sensation in my chest?"

“A strange feeling…” the female doctor thought for a moment, “What are its symptoms, such as when it started to feel wrong?”

“Oh, so that’s why I feel uneasy when I think of that person.” Esdeath’s fingers idly twirled the white halter top of her chest, then let it go, allowing it to slap against her high breasts.

"Wait, you mean... when you think of a certain person, you start to feel strange?" The female doctor blinked.

"Yes, it feels something like heart contractions...?" Esdeath lay sprawled on the soft bed.

Seeing her like this, the female doctor smiled.

"Don't worry, General, you are in good health."

After saying that, she packed up her medicine kit and got up.

"Wait a minute," Esdeath said, sounding a little annoyed, like a child whining, "but how am I supposed to solve this?"

"Maybe seeing that person more often will solve the problem?"

The female doctor waved to Esdeath, the ring on her ring finger sparkling under the light.

After the female doctor left, Esdeath couldn't help but think of Lu Ye again.

His image seemed to have left an indelible mark on her mind today, one that she could never erase.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"General Esdeath, there is a letter for you."

“Send it here,” Esdeath said.

The maid carefully pushed open the door and entered, then handed the envelope to Esdeath.

Esdeath was taken aback when she saw the envelope.

"Sent by the Emperor?"

She immediately opened it.

However, the letter was the one she had submitted earlier, outlining her criteria for choosing a partner.

The young emperor's reply below was something like, "We haven't found anyone suitable for this position yet..."

"Is it that difficult?" Esdeath looked at her own request.

1. He possesses the qualities of a general.

2. Capable of hunting dangerous species alone.

3. Growing up on the border

4. Younger than me

5. Possessing a pure smile

Looking at the conditions she had set, a figure suddenly appeared in Esdeath's mind.

Chapter 208: Lure the snake out of its hole

Perhaps there really is one who meets the criteria?

Recalling everything that had happened, Esdeath sat frozen on the bed.

"This is... what it feels like to be in love?"

She was somewhat incredulous.

How can there be someone in this world you fall in love with at first sight?

But there seems to be a saying in this world called "love at first sight".

Is this love at first sight?

With barely suppressed emotions, Esdeath went out onto the balcony.

Do not……
