After a while, CC moved to lie on Mo Mo's chest. She let out a long sigh, opened her tired eyes, and rubbed her cheek against Mo Mo's chin.

"Hey……"

The soft call did not elicit a response from Momo. Momo simply stroked CC's back, letting CC's heartbeat fluctuate with Momo's touch.

"Hey!"

CC increased the volume.

"how?"

CC narrowed her eyes slightly, but a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Call me by my name."

"Sisi."

Be gentle.

"Sissi-chan!"

"Make it a little ambiguous."

"Honey?"

CC's smile remained unchanged, and she was thinking of asking Mo Mo to change his tone again, but at this moment, CC suddenly shut her mouth.

Because she then realized that Karen, who was standing in front of her, had secretly opened her bright black eyes at some point and was watching the interaction between the two of them.

044 A Show of Force

Its small eyes gleamed with a dark, bright light, seemingly carrying a hint of unease, yet beneath that unease lay a greater curiosity.

They watched CC and Momo with curiosity, doing strange things.

CC felt like her heart was about to stop beating. Although she was used to pain, even death, being watched by people in this state, especially since she was a child, was beyond CC's tolerance.

At this moment, Karen seemed to notice CC's gaze, and was startled. She quickly closed her eyes and pretended to continue sleeping, but her flustered breathing betrayed her.

"What, you've grown tired of this sweet game?"

At that moment, Momo's large hand started acting up again, making CC's heart pound even harder. She bit her lip and whispered, "Momo... Karen... Karen, she..."

However, Mo Mo, whose mind was entirely focused on CC, naturally did not hear these subtle whispers; she certainly did not pretend not to hear them.

"Well……"

CC's mouth was sealed shut by Mo Mo again. Although CC struggled for a while and tried to prompt Mo Mo, she quickly lost the will to resist again, and her mind became dizzy.

Meanwhile, Karen, after a few minutes of silence, secretly opened one eye again. Finding that CC and Momo were still doing strange things and hadn't noticed her, she cautiously opened her other eye and continued to observe.

Karen still didn't understand what was going on, but a strange attraction drew her to watch it all intently.

There is still a long time before dawn, before the sun rises, and before the next morning.

……

The next day, Gao Hai got up early.

There's an important guest at the consulate right now, a Qilin, which is why I woke up so early.

Although the true origin of the Qilin is unknown, it is most likely a young talent from a royalist family who was sent by the powerful eunuchs of the Forbidden City to gain merit.

However, the only thing that Gao Hai should pay attention to is that this Qilin is indeed very talented and ambitious, and there is a possibility that there is room for cooperation between them.

In that case, Gao Hai naturally had to give Mo Mo a proper gift.

If that red-haired girl named Hugh Dafelt ever entered Momo's room in the middle of the night, then nothing Momo said would matter.

In this way, Gao Hai easily obtained a stain on Mo Mo's reputation.

Gao Hai did this not to offend Mo Mo, even though he knew it might anger Mo Mo.

After all, Gao Hai was a powerful eunuch. How could one offend a powerful eunuch?

He was a high-ranking eunuch, while Mo Mo was merely a scion of a noble family who held the title of Qilin but probably did not hold any official position.

Although there is a possibility that the two sides can further cooperate, it is absolutely impossible for Gao Hai to follow Mo Mo to his knees and fawn over him.

He, Gao Hai, became a powerful eunuch just over thirty years old. Such qualifications and abilities are rare in the entire 1,800-year history of China.

A glorious and brilliant future awaits Gao Hai.

The guy in front of him, who is called Qilin, is a young man named Mo Mo. Even if he cooperates with Gao Hai now, he must be in charge of Gao Hai, and the cooperation is only temporary.

When his power grows in the future, Mo Mo will only be worthy of being his subordinate, and that is on the premise that Mo Mo is obedient.

Otherwise, there are so many aristocratic families and so many talented young people.

Losing one Qilin will only add another Azure Dragon and another Black Tortoise. What's the big deal?

The Chinese Federation is all about having a large population.

However, for now, Gao Hai still needs to treat Mo Mo well. Sending Karen to Mo Mo is to taint Mo Mo's reputation and cause her more trouble, so as to reverse the master-servant relationship between the two sides.

Judging by the time, his subordinates should be here to report soon.

"Sir, it's time for breakfast."

Sure enough, his second-in-command arrived shortly afterward.

"How's it going?"

Gao Hai asked a question vaguely, but the second-in-command understood immediately and revealed a fawning smile.

"My lord, everything has been taken care of. Moreover, I heard with my own ears that the room was very lively, and it was lively until dawn."

Gao Hai was taken aback and said, "Really? You didn't hear me wrong, until dawn?"

“That’s right, I’d stake my head on it! That Qilin looks like a gentleman, but he’s actually come from a cesspool. At first, he acted like he didn’t want it, but soon after, those kinds of sounds came from inside.”

"Tsk tsk, poor little girl named Karen, I wonder if she's still alive."

Upon hearing this, Gao Hai remained silent for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"It would be better if he were dead, haha. If he really died, and he got into trouble with Hugh Dafelt, wouldn't he have to rely on me to cover for him? In that case, hehe..."

"Your Excellency is wise beyond my reach."

Gao Hai laughed for a good ten seconds before clearing his throat and asking, "Where is he now? Has he not left the room yet?"

"That's right, sir. Should I go and wake him up so he can have breakfast with you?"

Gao Hai touched the corner of his mouth and said, "No need, I'll go myself. I can also take a look at what this so-called Qilin looks like now."

"I hope he can't even straighten his back anymore, haha!"

After saying that, Gao Hai walked excitedly towards the courtyard where Mo Mo was. He had originally thought Mo Mo would be incredibly difficult to deal with, but it turned out Mo Mo had such obvious weaknesses that he could now easily control such a talented individual.

Gee...

Is the return to the Forbidden City just around the corner?

Gao Hai became more and more excited as he thought about it, and his steps were so fast that his second-in-command behind him couldn't keep up at all. He ran all the way, and the corners of his mouth were crooked from running.

However, when the two men arrived at Mo Mo's courtyard with their entourage, they were dumbfounded.

The team of twenty guards, originally intended to protect but actually to monitor Mo Mo, are now all lying sprawled on the ground, sighing and half-dead.

At the entrance of Momo's courtyard, a blonde girl with a Western face, dressed in a black dress, stood quietly, holding a light blue longsword.

Even when the powerful eunuch Gao Hai arrived, the blonde girl's eyes remained unmoved, as if she were the most loyal guard protecting her monarch's safety.

"What...what happened here? And who are you?!"

The first to fly into a rage was not Gao Hai, but the second-in-command eunuch. He had been doing a good job and was making a name for himself, but now a Western-looking person had suddenly appeared and ruined it. How could the second-in-command not be furious!

Gao Hai frowned as he looked at the blonde girl in front of him, feeling that things were starting to get out of control.

"I?"

The blonde girl stood up straight, her right arm crossed over her chest, and bowed to the two eunuchs, saying, "I am Artoria Pendragon, a knight of my lord Kirin. As for the people on the ground, they just tried to force their way into my lord's courtyard and were simply knocked to the ground by me."

"But don't worry, I used the back of the knife, they'll be fine."

Gao Hai's eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously glanced at the blue double-edged knight's sword in the hand of the girl named Artoria—where's the back of the blade? Are you kidding me?

However, this is not the most important thing to worry about; there are far too many other things to consider right now.

How did this woman, Artoria, suddenly appear? What's the deal with her claiming to be a knight of Momer? And why is she a Westerner with Pendragon as her surname?

Don't assume that eunuchs are uncultured. Before Gao Hai became a eunuch, he was a child prodigy, wasn't he?

However, compared to studying, Gao Hai believed that being a eunuch offered a better future, which is why he voluntarily entered the palace to be castrated. Compared to other eunuchs, his ideals and dreams were on a completely different level.

"what happened?"

Gao Hai's face was gloomy as he asked in a low voice, and the person he was asking could only be his second-in-command.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that someone suddenly appeared inside the consulate, and in Qilin's courtyard no less, was something no one knew about...

Are all the guys who are on night duty and guarding the gate useless?

The fact that twenty people were taken down by Artoria alone shows that not only are the gatekeepers useless, but everyone in the entire consulate is useless!

This infuriated Gao Hai, who was eager to return to the Forbidden City and was worried about having no one and no money to spare!

"My lord, please calm your anger, please calm your anger, this servant... this servant..."

The second-in-command was sweating profusely with anxiety. Seeing that a meritorious deed had turned into an invitation to the guillotine, how could he not be worried? He knew Gao Hai's nature all too well, and he knew the ferocity hidden beneath Gao Hai's young face.

"Tell me how you got in, and tell me which gate's watchman was negligent, and I will reward you handsomely!"

However, the second-in-command suddenly realized that if he couldn't take the blame himself, he should let someone else take it!

Anyway, this woman must have come in through the door. Why else would she have climbed the wall?

Gao Hai did not object, but looked at Artoria, hoping that Artoria would give an answer.

"The watchmen are slacking off?"

However, at that moment, another voice suddenly rang out, a clear female voice, saying, "There's no such thing!"

Then, to the astonishment of Gao Hai and his second-in-command, a hand suddenly appeared on the wall of Mo Mo's courtyard, followed by a small head—a girl with purple hair.

Immediately afterwards, the girl exerted force with one hand, and as if she had flipped in mid-air, she did a somersault and landed on the wall. She stretched out her arms to maintain her balance, and a straight sword was hanging from her waist.
