This kind of relationship?!

At the‌⁠‍⁠⁠⁠‍​‌⁠‌‌‍‍​⁠​‌‍⁠​‌‍⁠ same time, that name was also mentioned by Huo Xianfeng in the First Legion’s conference room in Bright City.

“——Cecilia.”

The person who opened a secret communication channel for Pei Changyun, the one who delivered the photos from the Forbidden Abyss, must have been her.

After recovering his memory, Huo Xianfeng finally remembered why Cecilia had seemed so familiar to him—she was Bai Min’s apostle.

He had seen her from Huo Chao’s perspective.

Huo Xianfeng’s impression of Cecilia was strong because that omega girl was deeply afraid of Huo Chao’s cold demeanor in the Illusory God Church.

It wasn’t the kind of fear that believers had for the divine, but more like the kind of fear and shadow a victim has towards their abuser.

Of course, Huo Chao hadn’t actually done anything to harm Cecilia; rather, the omega girl had been hurt by another alpha and therefore developed a psychological fear of all alphas.

However, now that they met again in Bright City, Cecilia was vastly different from back then.

If it weren’t for her omega gender and that distinctive pink curly hair, Huo Xianfeng almost wouldn’t have recognized her.

Because back then, Cecilia wore a very thick white robe, large black-framed glasses, and always had a slightly hunched back, looking timid and quiet.

She was a far cry from the fierce woman with a scythe on the starship.

Huo Xianfeng’s confident tone immediately drew everyone’s attention to him.

“—How do you know?!”

This question came from Jiang Ci.

His tone sounded a bit accusatory and anxious, causing Zhou Jiuya and Huo Xianfeng to both look at him.

The former was surprised because the Legion Commander rarely heard his nephew speak in such a strange tone. The latter, of course, was because Huo Xianfeng had clearly noticed that his wife was jealous.

Supporting his face with one hand, Huo Xianfeng tilted his head slightly to look at the Major General, who was showing a cold expression while still holding his hand, then said,

“A-Ci, I think you’re being a bit harsh on me.”

His tone was more like a statement.

But at that moment, it felt as if he was complaining—a complaint tinged with a little grievance, but also with a lot of pride.

Jiang Ci: “…”

Ye Shu: “…”

Zhou Jiuya: “…”

Silence—

Silence filled the conference room.

After all, Huo Xianfeng’s entrance had been extremely dramatic and overly showy.

Moreover, ever since he entered the conference room, he had exuded an overwhelming sense of pressure, one that even seemed to overshadow Emperor Pei Changyun.

So now, when he said this, Jiang Ci was used to Huo Xianfeng’s mouth, so it was okay. But the other two alphas felt like they had been struck by lightning, their skin crawling with goosebumps.

Ye Shu wasn’t doing much better.

Any sadness Ye Shu had felt was now gone; he just felt a deep discomfort, an indescribable unease.

Bai Ze was expressionless. To it, this was perfectly normal behavior for the Great Demon King. After all, the man had done things like that in their cockpit, so flirting in front of Jiang Ci’s family was nothing.

—Very much.

At least back then, Bai Ze only had to clean up Jiang Ci’s pheromones.

There’s no doubt, Jiang Ci knew that Huo Xianfeng was doing this on purpose. He was definitely saying all this in front of Jiang Ci’s uncle on purpose.

“I’m not mad, I’m just surprised. How do you know that woman?”

“I knew you wouldn’t let it go, but there’s really nothing between us. We just fought once on the starship, we never interacted before that.”

He didn’t raise his voice, but he was gritting his teeth. However, before Jiang Ci could finish, he heard Huo Xianfeng continue,

“Even if I did have any contact with that pink-haired omega, it was Huo Chao who interacted with her.”

He didn’t hesitate to sell off his idiot friend, clearing himself completely.

“—I never touched her.”

Just then, Pei Changyun suddenly appeared in the projection. He had originally wanted to remind Zhou Jiuya of something but had just walked in when he heard this.

That pink-haired omega…

Huo Chao interacted with her…

The Emperor froze for a moment.

But before he could say anything, a sharp slapping sound suddenly echoed in the conference room.

Smack—!

Ye Shu couldn’t hold back any longer. He slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Huo Xianfeng with anger,

“You! Our Marshal has always kept himself clean and has never had any unclear relationships with anyone, so don’t you dare talk nonsense!”

“…Never?”

Huo Xianfeng turned his head in surprise, glancing at Ye Shu, then at the Emperor beside him,

“But didn’t he kiss Pei Changyun?”

Ye Shu: “…”

Zhou Jiuya: “…”

Pei Changyun: “…”

Forbidden Abyss: “…Tsk!”

Even Jiang Ci was stunned.

Wha… What?!!!

Uncle Changyun and Marshal Huo Chao actually had that kind of relationship?!!!

It was like a bolt from the sky—!

Ye Shu collapsed on the spot.

It felt as if the idol he had been crazy about had suddenly announced his relationship with his arch-nemesis.
