Chapter 970: Chapter 970: Winning Hearts Along the Way

"I don’t want to, but if you insist, I can agree."

Ye Xingguang: "Hmph, that’s a hindsight argument. Who doesn’t know you didn’t want to? When I asked you if I stayed underwater forever, would you be willing to stay with me, you know you replied instantly, without even thinking, you just told me, ’I don’t want to!’"

Ye Junqing laughed, "Really? I don’t remember that."

"Just deny it then! But I also don’t want to stay underwater forever. I miss hotpot, I miss the snow, I miss basking in the sun. In this empire, I just need to be titled as a queen, a queen who is admired by everyone. As for those tedious daily affairs, I can’t be bothered with them. It’s perfect to hand them over to the six great elders as a favor. Now they must feel deeply grateful towards me. This way, I’m buying people’s hearts incidentally."

Her foundation in the underwater realm was too shallow. The thought of competing with the six great families for royal power was exhausting. It’s better for everyone to live in harmony, her being their respected queen and a figure of faith, while the six families continue managing the country as before, each reaping their own benefits.

Anyway, when she wasn’t queen and when the empire had no emperor, the temporary federal government managed the country pretty well.

As long as the people are happy and content, does it matter who manages the country?

However, Ye Xingguang coquettishly said, "I gave up the boundless power of being a queen for you, how do you plan to compensate me?"

Ye Junqing hugged her, lowered his head, and captured her lips: "How about compensating you with a lifetime?"

"A lifetime is not enough?"

"Then, two lifetimes."

Ye Junqing loved her coquettish demeanor at this moment, feeling that even two lifetimes were not enough, hoping to be with her life after life.

The two were intimately entwined for a while, then Ye Junqing said, "Have you noticed? The god of the ocean described in the temple’s murals looks a lot like you. Is it really just a coincidence?"

Hearing Ye Junqing’s words, Ye Xingguang narcissistically said, "Could it be that I’m really the reincarnation of the ocean god?"

But Ye Junqing suddenly recalled the phone call from Li Yu not long ago, "It’s all fake, maybe one day we’ll have to fight side by side." Li Yu’s call out of the blue, was it just to upset him?

"Right, the Third Elder said that before our wedding ceremony tonight, they want you to provide the vampire’s formula. What do we do now, since that box just can’t be opened?"

Ye Junqing gathered his thoughts: "I do have an idea."

"What is it?"

Ye Junqing leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

Ye Xingguang suddenly raised her head: "Can we do that? I think it could work! Let’s go try it."

...

In the afternoon, there were two hours of rest, and Ye Xingguang didn’t engage in much activity.

She sat in her own bedroom, dragging Ji Qishu, Fu Zhuo, Mo Fei, Ye Junqing, Xiao Yun, Huo Liuli, along with Mo Yinhe and Yin Xiaohua, to play Truth or Dare.

Mo Yinhe and Yin Xiaohua, the two kids, had never played before and didn’t know the rules. Ye Xingguang then took a deck of cards and explained the rules to the two youngsters.

After speaking until her mouth was dry, she concluded, "In summary, that’s it. The loser of the game must willingly accept a penalty and must choose between truth and dare, got it?"

Mo Yinhe rolled his eyes, thinking how such a simple thing was explained in such detail—did they think him a fool?

Anyway, he had never lost a game before; Truth or Dare would never come his way!
