Fang Qi stared at Liguang, dumbfounded, trying to find a single flaw on her face.
But on that incredibly beautiful face, there was still only docility, obedience, humility, and even...
She was even looking at Lin Xiaoyou with utmost sincerity, as if she truly meant what she said!
...?
Fang Qi really suspected his brain was broken.
He did tell Liguang to play along with him, but...
Was she actually playing along this well?!
Hearing Lin Xiaoyou courting death, not only did she not go berserk on the spot, but she even agreed with her?
And said such words against her own conscience?
...Was this still his crazy woman?!
Was this right?!
Crazy woman...
What are you trying to do?!
No, when things are this abnormal, something must be wrong!
Absolutely wrong!
Lin Xiaoyou, however, did not feel anything was wrong at all.
"Senior, look, look!"
She bounced up from the sofa in an instant out of excitement, putting her hands on her hips and looking at Fang Qi!
"Look, even Liguang supports me!"
"Liguang is a high-level AI. If an AI approves, it must have been calculated!"
"We really are a perfect match!"
Her small round face was full of excitement!
Fang Qi: "..."
Hey.
I say...
Really, stop courting death.
I really feel like Liguang's laser blade is about to pop out!
Lin Xiaoyou even leaned over with a grin, getting very close:
"So, Senior, you shouldn't spend your whole life with an AI!"
"Even Liguang herself thinks it won't work!"
"In the end, an AI can't even have children. How can that be considered starting a family? Don't tell me Senior wants to end his bloodline?"
...Haha.
Yeah.
Great.
Fang Qi was already expressionless.
Forget it.
I really can't save you.
You brought this upon yourself...
And you can't live!
Liguang, can we calm down a bit and spare her life...
Just leave her alive enough for me to ask some questions!
"So, Senior, I... huh?"
Lin Xiaoyou's face blanked for a moment, and her body swayed.
...Hmm?
Fang Qi looked at her, slightly startled.
What's going on?
Lin Xiaoyou's smile froze slightly on her round face, and her eyes began to lose focus.
"Senior, why do I feel..."
"A little dizzy...?"
Then she stumbled!
Her shoes slipped on the floor, and her body tilted to the side!
Fang Qi: "?!"
This...?!
He subconsciously tried to stand up—
But the silver-haired girl moved faster!
Liguang rose gracefully from her kneeling position, reached out, and firmly supported Lin Xiaoyou's arm.
And then...
Very naturally, she pressed her back onto the sofa.
"Miss Lin stood up too fast, it made you dizzy."
Liguang bent down slightly, her voice gentle and filled with worry and concern:
"Sit and rest for a bit. The 'effects' of the calming tea... haven't fully kicked in yet."
Her silver hair hung by her face, making her pretty features look even more gentle, as if she were truly taking care of someone who hadn't slept well.
But Fang Qi's mouth fell wide open.
Hmm...?
Lin Xiaoyou...
Calming tea...?
Hiss—
Liguang, you...?!
Lin Xiaoyou leaned against the back of the sofa, her eyes hazy, and blinked hard.
"Oh... y-yeah..."
Her voice became a bit airy, and her tongue seemed to have swollen:
"Seems like... I stood up too fast..."
"I really need to... exercise more... I need to..."
Her voice grew quieter and more slurred.
Her eyelids began to droop.
Her almond eyes were half-open, her pupils completely unfocused, as if... she were looking at a place very, very far away.
She sat dizzily on the sofa, her body leaning slightly.
Her head tilted to one side, her mouth slightly open, looking as if all the strength had been drained from her body.
Fang Qi stared dumbfounded at Lin Xiaoyou's vacant little face!
Then he turned his head and looked at the silver-haired girl standing beside Lin Xiaoyou... bending over slightly!
Liguang was still looking at Lin Xiaoyou, but the gentle smile on her lips...
Was gradually becoming exaggerated!
But her crimson eye was flashing rapidly! The scarlet light was no longer concealed!
She was excited!
...Holy crap?!
He abruptly stood up from the sofa:
"Liguang! You put something in the tea...!"
Liguang turned to look at him, her heterochromatic eyes blinking, the scarlet in her crimson eye flashing...
Then her phoenix eyes curved into crescents!
She immediately scooted closer to him!
"Master, is Liguang smart? Liguang helped Master~"
Her raised face carried a hint of smugness, her heterochromatic eyes clearly displaying the words "claim credit"!
"Master asked Liguang to make tea, wasn't it exactly so Liguang would do this?"
Fang Qi: "...?"
He opened his mouth, speechless.
...Hiss.
So... it could be understood like that?
He glanced at Lin Xiaoyou, who was already dazed and blank-eyed.
No, wait...
How am I supposed to ask her anything like this!
The silver-haired girl continued to look at him with a grin:
"Master, aren't I so smart!"
You crazy woman, smart my ass...!
A vein throbbed on Fang Qi's forehead!
Crazy woman, you lost control of yourself again!
I really should teach your little rear end another lesson!
You forgot about the spanking from last time, didn't you? This time I'll...!
"Moreover, rest assured, Master~"
The silver-haired girl leaned in a little closer, her tone seeking praise:
"What Liguang slipped in wasn't the same kind of sedative used on Master last night."
She wagged a slender finger, the corners of her mouth curling into a smug little arc:
"It's a drug that makes a person's consciousness blur without putting them completely to sleep~"
Her smile grew wider, and the scarlet in her crimson eye became even more pronounced:
"It's... a 'truth serum'~"
Fang Qi: "...?"
...A what?
He stared at Liguang's small face, which had "praise me quickly" written all over it, slightly bewildered.
Truth serum?
Is it the kind...
Of truth serum he's thinking of?
Hmm...?
Wait...
"You... you actually have something this good?"
Now Fang Qi was genuinely a little surprised.
"Where did you get it? Did you buy it?"
Hearing this, Liguang's face flushed slightly. She lowered her eyes, twisted her skirt with her slender fingers, and lowered her voice:
"Stuff like this... isn't sold anywhere..."
"Just like the drug used on Master yesterday, it's... it's all formulated by Liguang herself!"
She glanced up at him, then quickly looked down again, the blush spreading from her cheeks to her neck.
"The formula is a secret~"
Fang Qi raised an eyebrow!
Oh...!
No wonder the drug she used on him yesterday was colorless, odorless, and worked so well...
This little yandere knows how to mix her own drugs!
But... keeping it a secret?
He immediately raised his hand and pinched Liguang's approaching face, squeezing it hard toward the middle!
Her soft cheeks deformed between his fingers, and her lips were squeezed into a pout.
"You dare keep secrets from your Master?"
He lowered his voice menacingly:
"And why didn't you bring this out earlier when you had something so good! You made me go through so much trouble before!"
Liguang let out an "mm," her lips pouting, and mumbled indistinctly:
"Shorry Mashter... Liguang wash wrong..."
"Aint I... taking it out now..."
She blinked, the scarlet in her crimson eye flashing with a fawning intent.
Fang Qi pinched her small face again, using a bit less force than before, and then let go.
He glanced at Lin Xiaoyou's dazed little face, and then at the smug little curve at the corner of Liguang's mouth...
Then it dawned on him!
...Oh.
He understood... No wonder this crazy woman was acting so out of character just now!
When Lin Xiaoyou was saying things like "AI can't even have children," "real people are better," and "AI will have to be replaced in a few years," she actually chimed in and said, "I support Master getting together with Miss Xiaoyou"!
So that was it...!
This crazy woman had already made her move on Lin Xiaoyou back then!
She had anticipated Lin Xiaoyou's suicidal provocations in advance!
The effects of the drug were already slowly kicking in at that time, so she didn't care at all about what Lin Xiaoyou was saying!
In fact... she might have deliberately guided Lin Xiaoyou to say those even more outrageous things!
The more Lin Xiaoyou said, and the more out of line she was...
Didn't that just justify Liguang's actions even more?
And if Liguang wanted to do anything else to Lin Xiaoyou later, she wouldn't have any psychological burden!
— "She said all those things about me, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to 'punish' her a little, right?"
Fang Qi glared at Liguang.
The little smugness on Liguang's lips immediately turned into obedience, and she even blinked at Fang Qi.
Tsk tsk...
This crazy woman really had everything calculated perfectly!
However...
He pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
Forget it, it doesn't matter.
Lin Xiaoyou really needed to be taught a lesson anyway!
Besides...
That wasn't the main point right now.
Fang Qi walked over to the single sofa where Lin Xiaoyou was sitting, squatted down, and narrowed his eyes at her.
The round-faced girl was still half-leaning against the back of the sofa.
Her almond eyes were half-open, her pupils unfocused, and her mouth slightly agape... It was as if her soul had been sucked out of her body.
Her breathing was steady, and her heartbeat was normal.
At least on the surface... she didn't seem to be in any discomfort.
Fang Qi crouched in front of her, studying her dazed little face from a close distance.
His wife's homemade truth serum?
Very good!
Then let him test the effects of this truth serum!
"Master~"
At this moment, a soft and sweet voice came from behind.
Immediately after, a warm, soft body pressed against his back, and the cascading silver hair tickled his neck.
Liguang wrapped her arms around his neck from behind, resting her chin on his shoulder, her warm breath brushing past his ear.
"Master can only ask questions, no touching~"
Her voice was sickly sweet, carrying a coquettish nasal tone.
"Liguang will be keeping a close eye on Master~"
Fang Qi turned his head, his nose almost touching the little face she leaned in.
Those heterochromatic eyes were right in front of him, the crimson in her red eye flashing, and her lips curled into a crescent smile.
"...Alright."
He said, then raised his hand and pinched the cheek she had pressed against his shoulder.
"I won't touch her, you just watch me, okay?"
Liguang giggled and nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck.
Then she just kept her arms around him from behind, staring unblinkingly at Lin Xiaoyou with her red eye.
Fang Qi withdrew his gaze and looked back at the dazed little round face in front of him.
The expression on that round face, which still had a bit of baby fat, was now completely blank.
Her lips moved slightly, as if she was saying something, but no sound came out.
Her eyes were half-open, but there was no focus in them.
Fang Qi stared at her for a few seconds.
"Xiaoyou."
He spoke softly.
Lin Xiaoyou's eyelashes fluttered slightly.
Her head tilted a bit, as if searching for the source of the voice.
"Senior...?"
Her voice was slurred, like she had something in her mouth.
"Can you hear me?" he asked.
"I can... I can hear you..."
She blinked, but still had that vacant look.
Fang Qi took a deep breath.
He turned his head to glance at the silver-haired girl resting on his shoulder.
Liguang was blinking at him, a smile on her lips, and she gave him a slight nod.
— Master, you can ask now.
Fang Qi looked away, turning his attention back to Lin Xiaoyou.
His heartbeat quickened slightly, but he kept his facial expression perfectly calm.
He cleared his throat and spoke:
"Xiaoyou, tell me, do you..."
His expression was incredibly serious as he stared into Lin Xiaoyou's lifeless eyes:
"Do you... like women?"
The delicate body of the silver-haired girl resting on his shoulder stiffened slightly:
"...Eh?"

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
