I'm in Star Iron, and I draw power from the Inner World every week.

"Okay, then I won't do anything reckless."

Su Yang quickly suppressed the romantic idea from his mind.

"Hmm, darling, you're so sweet."

Aglaia was laid back on the bed by Su Yang, and with a gentle touch, she pulled Su Yang into a gentle embrace, enjoying the brainwaves.

"Aya, I rely on you so much."

It's not just brainwaves, but all aspects of brainwaves.

Aglaia was in charge of all diplomatic matters, and she also had to manage the various city-states within Onphalus. Her workload was simply overwhelming.

This makes Su Yang, the hands-off manager, seem very bad.

"Darling, you've filled in the basics so well, if I still can't handle these things, do I deserve to be your wife?"

Aglaia gently stroked Su Yang's head, her expression full of affection.

"Aya!"

Su Yang hugged her tightly.

Aglaia is also a woman who could be his mother.

"Don't worry, my dear child, you can leave everything to me."

Aglaia also understood Su Yang's mental state.

"But even so, I can't leave everything to you..."

"You don't trust me?"

"No, no, no, how could that be?"

"Hmm, then there's no need for further words. There's nothing more romantic than managing a city-state for my beloved."

"Oh."

Su Yang stopped talking.

He was still a little worried, but the other Golden Clan members in the city each had their own responsibilities, and it was obviously not a good idea to entrust them with helping Aglaia.

...Indeed, I should try to summon that [Caesar].

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

Aglaia quickly cleaned Su Yang's body.

She gave Su Yang's weapon one last kiss, then turned and walked toward Su Yang's underwear.

Su Yang also tacitly opened the Golden Silk Hundred Realms Gate for her to return to the mansion.

After seeing Aglaia off, Su Yang ran to open the door.

It is a soaring sky full of heroic spirit.

Fei Xiao sniffed the room after Su Yang opened the door, his expression slightly embarrassed:

"Did I come at a bad time?"

Chapter 16 and the Yellow Springs Dream: This is a one-time exception.

"No, you came just in time."

Despite this, Su Yang took a step forward, left the room, and closed the door.

Although he couldn't detect the odor, Feixiao's sense of smell seemed to be more sensitive.

We should pay more attention to this in the future.

"...Uh, isn't this inappropriate?"

Feixiao's expression remained awkward throughout.

She came to Su Yang to clear up the misunderstanding and didn't want to cause any more trouble.

"Let's get back to the point. Feixiao, is there something you need from me? Have you run into trouble? Or are you feeling unwell?"

Su Yang glanced at Fei Xiao thoughtfully for a few moments.

There seems to be no problem.

He could sense the health of those around him, and naturally he could tell that Feixiao was currently in good condition.

"It's nothing serious, but it could be a little troublesome."

"Explain in more detail?"

Su Yang led Fei Xiao to sit in the small pavilion.

His face was full of gentle kindness, and even radiated a rational glow.

After all, he had just fought Aglaia.

"Alas, the truth is that the 'gift' you gave me is too precious. After all, I am the Immortal Boat General, and you are a distinguished guest with a special status, which naturally caused a lot of trouble."

Feixiao took out Su Yang's heart-strengthening pill.

"Hmm? If there's a problem, you can just push me out. Besides, I was the one who forced this on you in the first place."

That's one way of putting it...

"I'm sorry, perhaps I should have given it to you in a more formal setting? Although I gave it to you mainly out of a sense of apology..."

Except in a state of extreme rationality, Su Yang's actions are mostly based on his feelings.

The atmosphere was right, and he wanted to offer his heart to Feixiao, so he actually did.

It's that simple.

"No, no, no, I've told you so many times, you don't owe me anything. What do you mean you restored my health on your own, and then you owe me something?"

Feixiao really couldn't hold back anymore.

She had seen many travelers on the path of [Abundance] before, but she had never seen anyone in Su Yang's mental state.

“I took action, so I have to take full responsibility, since the trouble you're in now is indeed because of me.”

"...I guess I shouldn't have come to find you."

Feixiao sighed.

"It was the right decision to come to me. If I hadn't realized I'd gotten myself into trouble and made a huge mistake, I would have been devastated when I found out the truth."

Su Yang didn't want to do something wrong with good intentions.

"Invincible."

Feixiao gave Su Yang a thumbs up.

She genuinely believed that Su Yang's kindness was unparalleled.

"Should I take this back? But wouldn't going back and forth like that be problematic?"

"Yes, so I'm in a state where I can't go up or down. I came to you just to make things clear beforehand, so that there won't be any trouble later and make you feel uncomfortable."

"Since it's all the same anyway, you might as well keep it. Or should I go and make a gesture to Jingyuan and the others?"

"But that would breed conspiracy theories among some old fogies on the Immortal Ship, who would think you're trying to use me to infiltrate the Immortal Ship, which would ruin your current status as a distinguished guest."

"That sounds like trouble."

"It is a bit troublesome, but it's also my fault. I should have made these things clear from the beginning."

Feixiao smiled helplessly.

"It's my fault for suddenly sending such a strange gift."

"Blame me."

"No, it's my fault."

"...I give up, but honestly, isn't it easy for you to get taken advantage of like this?"

"It's alright, and I'm not that compassionate. I'm never lenient when it comes to dealing with bad guys."

"Oh? I didn't realize that."

"I will only be gentle to those I cherish, and at most I will be a little gentle to strangers. As for those who try to harm those I cherish, I will eliminate them without mercy."

"Oh, but this doesn't sound very [abundant]."

Feixiao's lips twitched slightly.

"For example, I care about you, Feixiao. If anyone tries to target you, I will not hesitate to strike back hard."

"...?"

.....

Feixiao ran away.

Su Yang originally wanted to take advantage of the atmosphere to confess his feelings to Fei Xiao and frankly admit that he had prepared his hand for Fei Xiao earlier.

But before he could chant the spell, Feixiao ran away.

Before leaving, Fei Xiao said that she would contact her by phone if there were any new issues.

“…”

Leaving his thoughts to the pavilion, Su Yang returned to his room.

Today felt exceptionally fulfilling because I also completed a punishment mission.

He took out his phone and glanced at it, first checking the news about Black Tower.

Still no news.

He knew a little about the Black Tower, but he couldn't make a definitive judgment about the Black Tower's personality.

If Black Tower adds him, then we should wait for Black Tower to start the conversation.

Sending a message rashly might disturb Black Tower and make the situation awkward.

After sorting out his thoughts, Su Yang opened the group chat for "A Loving Family".

“…”

[Feng Jin: Sisters, when we go find Yang Bao later, should we change into our decisive gear?]

[Saifei: No need, that guy prefers bare feet. I heard he's recently become obsessed with bare feet without stockings.]

[Xia Die: But isn't it fun to equip yourself with new gear and have Su Yang dismantle it?]

[Tibao: Little Butterfly is right. We need to prepare everything properly, and then we can make changes according to Xiaoyang's preferences when the time comes.]

Su Yang chose not to join the conversation, since his presence might disrupt the harmonious topic.

He scrolled up and saw that most of the conversations in the group were about him, while some were just venting about city-state affairs.

It's quite heartwarming.

Su Yang put down his phone with relief, lay down on the bed, and closed his eyes.

He had only intended to think more about what would happen next, but his eyes seemed to be sealed shut; once closed, they were difficult to open, and drowsiness washed over him like a tide...

Su Yang opened and closed his eyes and found himself in the most familiar void space.

Huang Quan, with his white hair, stood there as always, as if he had never left.

She wore a kimono sewn by Su Yang. Even though it was relatively conservative, her graceful and alluring figure was still faintly visible under the fabric.

"Mei, my wife."

"Tsk."

Huang Quan vanished from the spot in an instant.

She suddenly appeared beside Su Yang, raised her right leg high, and disregarded the constraints of her kimono, sweeping it forcefully towards Su Yang.

"Since it's a 'dream,' Mei, please forgive me for letting loose a bit."

As Su Yang dodged Huang Quan's kick, the corners of his mouth turned up.
