I am on the Ark, a succubus, pure and innocent.

Witt continued, "Furthermore, for His Highness Ulrich's safety, it is imperative to have him reside in Yan for the time being. Once you have thoroughly clarified the domestic situation, eliminated all unstable factors, and ensured his absolute safety, you may then welcome him back."

"good very good!"

Fyodor clapped, then asked a question:

"What will happen to the territory he inherited? If he doesn't return to inherit it, then no one, including myself, can legally interfere with his territory. What will happen to the livelihoods of those millions of people?"

Witt paused for two seconds, then said, "Indeed, after the Duke of Belgaard's statement, it would be illegitimate for anyone to interfere with this inheritance."

"But you are an exception."

“Me?” Fyodor asked, somewhat puzzled. “How am I the exception?”

Witt smiled and said, “The nobles will strongly resist because of your status as emperor, but you are also His Highness Ulrich’s uncle. With this relationship, you can take over the administration and supervision of his territory with His Highness Ulrich’s consent.”

“I see.” Fyodor suddenly understood, then frowned: “But will my nephew agree?”

Witt's smile deepened, and he said confidently, "In exchange for power, the Duke of Belgaard's territory is currently in chaos. If you can guarantee that His Highness Ulrich can safely receive the harvest from the territory, I think he will agree."

“Heh…” Fyodor couldn’t hold back and waved his hand helplessly: “Witt, you and I both know this is impossible. If I take over the territory, I will definitely carry out reforms, and the cost will be… heh, he’ll probably have to give back some money every year.”

Witt said calmly, "It's alright, Your Majesty. Not to mention the enormous wealth left by the Duke of Belgaard, the reward you are about to give is more than enough for Prince Ulrich to live a comfortable life in Yan Kingdom."

Fyodor glared at him, annoyed. "Witt, you're asking me to lie!"

Witt wasn't embarrassed at all, and smiled faintly, "Your Majesty, this is all for the sake of the Empire, and also to protect Prince Ulrich from the despicable tricks of the nobles. It's a win-win-win situation for you, the Empire, and the young prince!"

Fyodor was speechless at the official's words and simply waved his hand:

"Alright, Witt, stop with your sharp tongue. I don't want to be remembered in history for bullying my nephews and nieces. The plan can proceed, but you have to leave him a guaranteed minimum income every year, plus some extra compensation. I need to review and approve it before it can proceed."

"...Yes, Your Majesty, it is your order."

..........

10:21 p.m.

Rhode Island, dormitory.

Bai Yue sat at the table, slowly grinding the medicinal herbs with a stone mortar and pestle. After grinding the herbs into a fine powder, he used a tool to transfer the powder into a measuring cup, poured in alcohol, and began stirring with a glass rod.

Soon, the powder in the measuring cup was dissolved by the alcohol, and the whole solution showed a strange fluorescent green color.

Bai Yueshan smelled the aroma; her sensitive sense of smell filtered out the spiciness of the alcohol, allowing her to discern a complex, slightly bitter taste.

Just as he was about to mix some more powder, a strange noise came from the ceiling.

red?

Bai Yue subconsciously thought of that silly dog, but upon sniffing it, he smelled a strange young girl's scent. He immediately put down the glass rod and picked up the slender stun gun from the side.

With the blessing of the Thunder Magic Jade Token given to him by Lin Qingyan, a chilling current flashed on the stun gun he held, and he was ready to unleash a five-hit lightning lash.

Then...

The newcomer also saw this scene through the gap in the ventilation duct and quickly spoke up: "Your Excellency Bai Yue, please do not panic, I was sent by Princess Wen Yue!"

Bai Yue tilted her head slightly: "Aunt Wen Yue?"

The white-haired Anati 'girl' ninja leaped out of the ventilation duct and landed steadily on the ground: "Indeed, Shirayuki, as Princess Wenyue instructed, from now on, I will protect your safety closely."

Bai Yue glanced at her, subtly comparing her height to Bai Yue's, and immediately became happy upon discovering that she was a few centimeters taller than Bai Yue:

“Alright, then I won’t refuse Aunt Wenyue’s kindness.”

Chapter 109 The Loyal Ninja Girl

early morning.

Because the women on Rhodes Island were keeping each other in check, Bai Yue was able to steal some peace and quiet. Even though she was already awake, she still clung to the blanket and stayed in bed.

pedal!

The bright white lights illuminated the dormitory, which lacked natural light.

"Huh?" Bai Yue covered her eyes with her hand, still a little dazed, and looked at the ninja girl standing at the door pressing the light switch: "Bai Xue, what are you doing?"

"Get up and have breakfast," Bai Xue replied briefly.

"No, I'm so sleepy."

Bai Yue readily agreed, twisting her body twice and burying herself in the fluffy bedding.

(Such a willful brat, ahh, I really want to go back to the princess...)

After finishing her internal monologue, Bai Xue didn't urge her any further.

She walked to the red bucket and cleaning tools she had brought the night before, went straight to the bathroom to fill it with water, and soon began cleaning every hidden corner of the room.

She cleaned under tables, in the crevices of wardrobes, under beds... anywhere a person could hide.

The damp cloth swept across, leaving behind a subtle and rhythmic rubbing sound.

In the quiet dormitory, even this slight sound became a disturbing, irritating white noise.

Bai Yue heard everything clearly.

Naturally, he couldn't sleep anymore, but he didn't want to be forced to get up, so he used his tail to sweep the phone next to his pillow into the blanket, and while opening the phone, he wondered how long Bai Xue would take to clean.

He squinted, dimmed the light on his phone, and clicked into the Rhodes Island forum, where a dazzling array of content awaited him.

[Urgent Notice from Logistics Department: The special training ground has been set up and is available for use by any operators who wish to use it. However, it is closed for maintenance from 11 PM to 6 AM.]

Hmm, it seems Frostnova has somewhere to go.

[Experience Sharing on Physical Training for Heavyweight Operators (with: Nearl's Inhuman Training Schedule - Enter at Your Own Risk!)]

Let me see how devilish it is... Wow, what kind of torture is this! But Lin Guang's abs look so good, I want to... hehe.

[Rational discussion: I think Miss Lily of the Valley is light!!!]

It is true, that's for sure.

[Today's special in the cafeteria: Yan-style pan-fried dumplings, limited quantity! First come, first served!]

Ugh, this is Chinese food, even dogs wouldn't eat it! But the pineapple pizza was delicious, I'll make some candied pineapple for Chenchen to try next time.

[Shocking! Last night on the deck, that cool, aloof guy seemed heartbroken?! His lonely figure was pitiful! (Blurred image, proceed with caution)]

Wow, this is so blurry even his own mother wouldn't recognize it.

......

After a long time, the water in the red bucket was no longer dirty, but clear enough to reflect one's reflection. After washing her hands, Bai Xue returned to Bai Yue's bedside.

She looked at the quilt that was shaking incessantly and occasionally let out a soft laugh, and remained silent.

(What a lazy bum... utterly oblivious to his own shortcomings.)

Bai Xue silently grumbled in her heart, but her expression remained calm and composed. Unlike the scenes in TV dramas where a maid lifts the blankets off her master, she simply waited quietly by the bedside.

(The TV series I watched the other day was terrible. The male supporting character who suddenly appeared was a disaster. How come so many people are still giving it good reviews? They must all be paid trolls hired by the film and television company.)

Bai Yue felt a little uncomfortable while Bai Xue was quietly lost in thought.

Yes, why isn't it cleaning anymore? It's only been a few... wait, has an hour already? The battery is already low!

"..."

Bai Yue quietly peeked out from under the covers, reached out and held up her phone, saying softly, "Charge my phone."

(Do ninjas need to do this kind of thing?)

Bai Xue felt nothing, and even felt a slight urge to sigh. However, remembering her lord Wen Yue's instructions, "Xiao Xue, you must treat this child the way you treated me," she thought, though it was impossible to do that, she should still fulfill this request...

She nodded and accepted it: "Okay, but the cafeteria's breakfast time will end in 57 minutes."

"Then I won't eat it," Bai Yue said nonchalantly. Isn't it normal for young people these days to skip breakfast?

But when he looked at Bai Xue silently charging her phone, he suddenly realized something and scratched his face: "Bai Xue, you haven't eaten either, have you?"

Bai Xue snapped out of her reverie and said calmly, "Princess Wenyue asked me to protect you personally."

So you haven't eaten... Bai Yue nodded slightly, feeling a little embarrassed. Oh dear, what kind of situation is this? People came all the way here to protect her, but she can't even get a bite to eat.

Luckily I found out early, otherwise I really would have gone three days without eating nine meals.

"Sorry, sorry, I'll get up right away."

Bai Yue lifted the blanket, picked up the clothes placed on the bedside table, and shook them off. It revealed a white undershirt, a white hooded sweatshirt, and khaki cargo pants.

It looks very ordinary.

Bai Yue didn't care that Bai Xue was beside her. She took off her pajamas, revealing her fair skin, and started to get dressed.

Bai Xue didn't shy away from the fact that this was what close protection meant. If she had to look away because of embarrassment, the person being protected might have been attacked and killed during that brief moment.

However... it's okay to take a glance while on guard duty, right?

Bai Xue convinced herself and began to appreciate it with a clear conscience.

(Hmm, she is indeed beautiful. No wonder Miss Chen likes her, and even the princess... Sigh, am I really going to become Miss Chen's dowry? No way! Princess, my lord, I want to stay with you for life!)

(Ha...she has such strong foundation and resources. I wonder what Miss Chen will do in the future. She's so old, she'll probably die, won't she?)

Bai Yue couldn't read minds and didn't know that this seemingly cold ninja girl had such a rich inner world. Otherwise, he would have let this ninja girl experience it for herself.

He got dressed, washed up, and then went to the table, filled several test tubes with the settled medicine, sealed them with special stoppers, and put them in his pocket.

He turned around and smiled at Snow White, "Let's go, I'll take you to try Rhodes Island's breakfast."

"No need, please do as you please." Bai Xue shook her head: "Ninjas should not appear in public. I will take care of my meals. If you need anything, just use this gesture. I will come whenever you call."

Watching Bai Xue make a simple gesture that she wouldn't normally use, Bai Yue copied it. Only after receiving Bai Xue's approval did he say helplessly:

"Alright, but I don't understand these rules of you ninjas. I'll bring some back for you to eat next time I have the chance."

"...Whatever you like." Bai Xue nodded casually.

(Hmph, this kid's pretty good at sweet-talking, huh? Hilarious! Does he think this little bit of preferential treatment can shake my loyalty to the princess? Impossible, absolutely impossible!)

Bai Yue opened the door and went out, but after a yawn, the ninja girl disappeared from sight.

If it weren't for the lingering scent of her scent, he would have thought that Miss Snow White had vanished into thin air. This kind of skill is practically an essential ability for murder, arson, and robbery.

It's making me want to learn a few tricks myself, but if I did, wouldn't that be... well, it doesn't seem very useful.

Forget it then.

Without hesitation, Bai Yue abandoned the thoughts in her mind and headed straight for the cafeteria.

Halfway there, a voice suddenly rang out:

"Found you, Bai. A special guest wants to see you."

Chapter 110 Ussost Envoy

in the corridor.

Bai Yue poked Kal'tsit's lower back with her fingertip and asked in confusion:

"Who is looking for me?"

Kal'tsit flinched, immediately turned around and slapped his hand away, her face stern: "Bai, perhaps you need to take some etiquette courses."

"Oh, I was just kidding." Bai Yue took a step back, shrugged, and adopted an innocent posture.

Indeed, she's so cute, what's wrong with joking?

Kal'tsit's heart softened, and she considered letting him go. She hadn't lost anything anyway, and... this feeling was quite novel, a tingling, numbing sensation, and she wanted more...

But the next second, her rationality forcefully returned, pulling her thoughts back from the brink of escalation. She forced a straight face and said coldly:

"You think this is a joke? I don't think so, and I hope you won't make these kinds of jokes with other female operators. It's very impolite, do you understand?"

"Oh." Bai Yue was shy, and felt her cheeks burning.

Ugh, am I out of my mind? How could I possibly think this old cat would like me? Ugh, I've made a fool of myself! Waaah, I want to crawl into a hole and disappear.

Kal'tsit saw his face turn extremely red, even his earlobes were as red as cherries, and his whole person turned into an extremely tempting fruit in an instant, exuding an aura that made people's hearts flutter and want to pluck him and devour him.

She involuntarily swallowed non-existent saliva.

This feeling... ouch, this is bad. I really want to hold him in my arms and comfort him. Did I scare him just now?
