Chapter 713: 13.14 – Missed Star – Engagement
Midday. Once Ye Qiuji and Long Xie finished eating their meals, their subordinates were all summoned to the palace. They met them in the living room. He Ling, He Yuu, Tang Ruan and Cao Jun all came. They saluted the moment the two arrived. Long Xie was holding Ye Qiuji’s hand as they arrived.
Ye Qiuji was even yawning. “Ruru informs the clan to gather for tonight. There will be an evening banquet. Gather all elders and inform the Crown. They can attend if they want and not if they’ll just act like monkeys. I will kill anyone who dared to make a mess at our engagement party. Location: Autumn Cosmos. In Maple Tower.”
The three subordinates of Long Xie were dumbfounded when they witnessed Ye Qiuji treat the Royal Family who lords the Empire. He treated even those royal blood as his servants to be on call.
Tang Ruan was on the other hand used to it. “Affirmative!” he soon steps back as his tasks were already given.
Long Xie first lets his wife sit before talking to his subordinates.
Long Xie ordered, “Silly He and Ling. Gather all things on the list. Prepare everything within 3 hours. Then send it all to Ye Palace. Inform everyone to attend our Engagement Party. The invitation will be sent in an hour.”
He Yuu and He Ling saluted in acceptance. “As you wish.”
.....
“Cao Jun, stay on the base and supervise the guests. Invite Ye Wusheng and his team to the Palace as well.”
“... Yes...” Cao Jun was a bit brokenhearted when his task was to stay in the base to babysit while the others can go over to that prestigious Autumn Cosmos which is said to only allow certain guests with invitations to enter.
Long Xie said. “Surnamed Cao I haven’t forgotten you’ve asked my wife to undress.”
Once Cao Jun heard about that, he stiffened and started to panic. This instructor was horrified that the Emperor would take back his lenient penalty and cut off his head instead.
Saluting while avoiding the dangerous gaze of his boss, “Your Majesty! Cao Jun will stay and protect the base!”
Once the news about the Engagement Banquet of General Autumn and Long Huangdi spread within the Empire, urgency filled with chaos had begun. Not only within the Military side but as well within the Royal Palace.
No one really expected these two Generals who hold the reins of power within the whole galaxy to tie the knot between the two. The whole Empire almost exploded when the news reached their ears, but they were unable to do anything but attend the engagement ceremony between the two giants of their star.
After that night no one within the circle of Elite clans, families, and groups didn’t know that the partner chosen by Long Huangdi was none other than General Autumn. The civilians were also informed about this shocking news but since they didn’t really know the appearance of these two giants, they just kept in mind that Long Huangdi and General Autumn are now officially a pair.
Of course, Ye Wusheng and his little rabbit, Tu Zise, were invited to their elder brothers’ Engagement Ceremony. Though they really have no idea how they got together just seeing the couple, they can see that they truly love each other but despite that this young couple didn’t recognize that the couple before them were the same couple who fed their company dog food live on stream or in their dormitory.
Somewhere by the borders of the Empire, a scholar-looking handsome man with a calming smile on his face was watching the latest news about Long Huangdi. The latest news is about Long Huangdi’s marital status and engagement with someone.
Since airing the name of General Autumn was forbidden without permission most of the reports reported Long Huangdi being engaged with someone but none of the names was mentioned as it was considered classified.
At the same time, the same news was being played having General Autumn’s engagement with the same vague information about his partner. Those with brains instantly connect it to Long Huangdi but outsiders who knew about the world plots thought that it was the protagonist shou, Tu Zise, who Long Huangdi is engaged to.
The scholarly-looking man wears a slight frown on his face showing confusion upon watching the news about the Protagonist Gong and the Villain.
This man looks a bit older than the protagonist shou. He has light grayish brown hair and a pair of dull lavender irises. He has a calm demeanor and he looks quite intelligent with that scholarly aura of his.
On one look they can see that this man is an intelligent type, silent and calm. He thinks first before making his move.
The man with lavender eyes said, “The plot is moving fast. The plot never includes that the protagonist gong to first engage with the protagonist shou at this timeline. According to the timeline, both protagonists just met and are in the courting stage. How come the protagonist gong is suddenly engaged at this point? System, can you check if there is something wrong with the world plot?”
[Wait Host let me check. According to the Main System, it seems that this world has entered into an error. Glitches were made making the timeline unpredictable. Informing Host that this B Class world is upgrading to A Class World. The main task was refreshed. Ping~ New Main Task: Kill the Bug Character – “Kill the Protagonist Gong”.]
“Hm? I can kill a Protagonist directly in this world, what is happening?”
[The Heavenly Laws found a foreign soul. It seems that the Protagonist Gong of this world is a foreign soul. Asking the Host to correct the World Plot. Please complete the Main Task and Eliminate the Protagonist Gong: Long Xie. Rewards will be upgraded as well. Completing the Main Task will be rewarded with 100,000 pts. Failure of the Task, The Host will receive a punishment for the next world.]
“100,000 points!? Are you for real? There is no way you will give away this many points for no reason. Tell me, is this world dangerous upon upgrade?”
[Answering to Host. The Host can die in the process. Please be careful. But if the Host chooses to not accept the Main Task, the Host can leave the plane as you will though there will be a penalty. On the other hand, if the Host completed the task not only you will be rewarded with 100,000 pts. You will also be allowed to redeem one item from the system mall as a special reward. Does the Host wish to accept this world’s Main Task?]
“I accept. Though I want you, my system, to be on standby. At the moment this body dies, I want you to pull my soul out of this world immediately.”
[Host, this system shall accept this condition.]
A month later, the second Elimination Series was scheduled. Inside the support page of the Crossover Website, picks fluttered everywhere. The cartoon avatars of 300 players were framed by transparent hearts, and pink bubbles popped up constantly against the six-pointed star background.
A few lines of text scrolled across the top — ‘Crossover Divination House: Test your love compatibility with your chosen player. Mysteries. Supernatural. Divination. Destiny. Love.’
“10 credits for one divination! 100 credits for 11 divinations! Light up your marriage fate with your chosen player! Every divination is equal to one vote! The success of your pick depends on you!”
The 300 players on the page would perform interactions with the cursor as it moved across the page. Lin Lan calmly followed the cursor around, a player named Soundless was holding a selfie stick. He is a newly ranked up player from Moonlight who just joined Silent Night. His name is Mo Feng.
This man looked like a calm and intelligent person with his rare lavender irises. He poked at the cursor; a Chibi Tu Zise bounced around with a small white rabbit. In the distance, a Chibi Ye Wusheng was standing near his lover, watching Tu Zise jumping around him with a little animal. Tu Zise was stunned.
Lou Ye laughed loudly, “Looks quite similar... Haha~” his laughter came to end when he saw his little figure got kicked off the tree by Lin Lan. He was kicked on his butt, a text bubble ‘Owie~’ over his head. While Chibi Lin Lan’s text bubble only says ‘Hmph! No dinner for you tonight.’ While Silent flare’s figure was leaning on the tree reading a book above his head a text bubble ‘Pick me.
Lin Lan and Others, “...???...”
Lin Lan quickly blocked his view from the company support page. “What the heck is with this messy page?”
Meanwhile, Tu Zise moves the cursor to look around. Once he saw the little figures of Ye Qiu and his team, they saw a Chibi Ye Qiu laying his head on Xie Long’s lap. Once they clicked on this couple’s figure the following text bubbles appeared above their heads.
Ye Qiu: ‘Do you love me?’
Xie Long: ‘Of course! My Love!’
Not far from this couple’s cute avatar are Chibi Ru Tang and Chibi Tang Yuu. With avatar Ru cleaning his sniper rifle as he ignores the smiling avatar of Tang Yuu clinging behind him. Wusheng watched Zise click on the other avatars of Team Autumn Dragon.
Tang Yuu’s text bubble: ‘Hug me, Xiao Ru!’
Ru Tang’s text bubble: ‘Sticky Hubby, scram!’
Team Silent Night was once again speechless. Not long after their training in Dragon Cosmos, Moonlight announced that the Team Autumn Dragon will not disband and that a new player called Soundless will join their team whom they met in Dragon Cosmos and had trained together, the members of Team Silent Night have no problems with Soundless joining their team. After all, Soundless is an all-rounder player.
Tu Zise asked, “Does the company create CPs (Character Pairing)?”
“In this team’s case, they are already a pair in reality.” Replied Ye Wusheng.
Player Mo Feng in his bewildered state, “Eh? Xiao Tutu, aren’t you close to Xie Long?”
Everyone from his team looked at Mo Feng with stunned expressions on their faces. Their expressions were saying ‘What the hell is this guy talking about?’. Even Mo Feng felt that he said something wrong with what he said though he didn’t know which part was wrong.
Confused, Mo Feng asked, “D-Did I ask something wrong?”
“Yes. Well~ we are not really close with Team Autumn Dragon. Much Less Little Rabbit (Tu Zise’s player name).” said Lin Lan.
Lou Ye said, “Team Autumn Dragon was filled with elite players and they’ve rarely left their rooms. Unless there’s team building or team training, you wouldn’t see them much. They even cook for themselves.”
Ye Wusheng looked at his teammate, Mo Feng weirdly. “Tutu and I respect Brother Xie and Brother Ye but aside from that, we are just competitors. Moreover, Tutu is my lover. While Brother Xie and Brother Ye are engaged to each other, same for Brother Tang and Brother Ru.”
Hearing this Mo Feng knew that everything he heard from the world plot was diverted thanks to the foreign soul that resides within the Protagonist Gong. This is why the Protagonist Shou, Tu Zise ended up with this Cannon Fodder, Ye Wusheng instead of the Protagonist Gong, Xie Long.
Mo Feng smiled, “I see. Sorry, my head is a bit muddled from training. Hehe~”
Lin Lan asked worriedly, “Are you alright? There’s still one last lesson scheduled for today. If you are not feeling well you can return to the room and rest for a moment.”
“That’s right. Mo-ge, you can leave the information gathering to me,” said Tu Zise, smiling innocently as always.
“Then... I will leave it to Xiao Tutu. Captain, everyone I will retire for today.” said Mo Feng before returning to rests as his teammates suggested.
