Chapter 1381 - 484: Embarrassment

"Glad you understand, just look at how pitiful they are."

An Ruoxue replied playfully.

"Wait, I have another question."

"What question?"

"What’s your real name? Is it really An Ruoxue?"

Su Ming asked with some curiosity.

"Yes, but that’s not the full name. My full name is An Ruoxue Saint Lox!"

An Ruoxue replied without reservation.

"Saint Lox? How come your family name is the same as the Fanluo God Emperor? What’s your relationship?"

"We’re from the same family. Saint Lox was initially the most powerful family in the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country."

"Since you’re from the same family, how did things turn out this way?"

Su Ming became more curious upon hearing this.

"Ah, this has to be traced back a long time ago. Our Saint Lox Family initially followed the principle of royal divine right, where the Royal Family managed the country and the Church managed faith, both supporting and restraining each other! But everything changed because of Fanluo. From the moment Fanluo was born, he was a prodigy, and he studied at the Imperial Court Academy, graduating with excellent grades."

An Ruoxue explained to Su Ming.

"What happened then?"

Su Ming was somewhat surprised, not expecting the Fanluo God Emperor to also be a graduate of the Imperial Court Academy. But then again, it was normal, as in his era, the Imperial Court Academy hadn’t split yet.

"Later, Fanluo followed the Dragon String Council President, quickly growing and rising, and therefore was appointed as Pope. Initially, everything was fine. But ever since Fanluo returned from the expedition against the Alien Race with the Dragon String Council President, everything changed! He began using his prestige and the people’s faith in him to massively organize private militias, leading to the Night of Cataclysm, where he slaughtered the Royal Family and merged royal and divine powers, proclaiming himself as the Divine Emperor!"

"Oh."

"Originally, after Fanluo seized power, we also thought there was no hope left. But thanks to the Federation, we saw a glimmer of hope."

An Ruoxue explained to Su Ming.

"Thanks to the Federation? Why do you say that?"

"The Fanluo God Emperor initially supported the Federation, but after seizing power, he not only failed to get along with the Federation, but conflicts erupted continuously, causing massive casualties and making life bitter for the people. This created significant discontent at the grassroots level, and his actions are courting disaster, as the Federation is not to be trifled with. The Federation may seem weak now, but that’s just because the Dragon String Council President is absent; it doesn’t mean the Federation is truly incompetent. Once the Dragon String Council President issues an order, the Federation will surely tear apart the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country."

"That’s true!"

"Furthermore, the Fanluo God Emperor provoked trouble in the Tidal Star Sea, only to be pushed back by the Federation, tying up a large number of his forces. This gives us an opportunity to act; this time we will go all out!"

"What if you lose?"

Su Ming asked An Ruoxue seriously.

"If we lose, then there’s nothing we can do; we can only see each other in the next life."

An Ruoxue replied with a smile.

Su Ming fell silent upon hearing An Ruoxue’s words.

At this moment, An Ruoxue leaned forward, nearly pressing against Su Ming as she sniffed, seeming to try to catch a scent.

A faint fragrance wafted over, and Su Ming spoke with some unease.

"What are you doing?"

"The smell on you is so strong; take off your clothes, I’ll give you a thorough scrub."

An Ruoxue flashed a mischievous smile as she spoke to Su Ming.

"No need, it’s my disguise."

Su Ming hastily refused.

"Don’t worry, you don’t need to deliberately make yourself dirty and ugly to disguise yourself; I can use cosmetics for you once I finish washing."

An Ruoxue reached toward Su Ming’s clothes.

"No need, really no need."

Su Ming retreated somewhat awkwardly.

"Don’t worry, Chuyu has already handed you over to me. And this is the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country, no one will know."

An Ruoxue found Su Ming’s panic amusing, and she immediately moved forward, grabbing at his clothes.

Su Ming retreated in panic, bumping into a table behind him, and he steadied himself by pressing his hands on it.

"Stop it! I’ll be angry if you keep this up."

"Hmph, refusing this, are you that incapable?"

An Ruoxue smirked as she glanced at Su Ming’s lower body.

Su Ming’s face turned as black as charcoal upon hearing An Ruoxue’s words; he was about to retort.

Knock knock!

Suddenly, a knock at the door startled both Su Ming and An Ruoxue.

"Who is it?"

An Ruoxue immediately called out.

"It’s me, Ruoxue, open the door."

Coronan’s calm voice came from outside.

"Oh no, it’s my father, hide quickly."

With a change of expression, An Ruoxue whispered to Su Ming.

Su Ming quickly looked around and spotted a luxurious white wooden cabinet. He promptly rushed over, opened the cabinet door, and hid inside.

Once An Ruoxue saw that Su Ming was hidden, she walked to the door and opened it.

That’s when Coronan entered, asking in a deep voice.

"Why did it take so long to open the door?"

"No reason, I was just about to take a bath and rest."

An Ruoxue replied very naturally.

"Hmm."

Coronan nodded slightly.

"Father, why are you coming to me so late, is there something wrong?"

An Ruoxue asked back naturally.

Coronan sighed slightly and said to An Ruoxue.

"Why else, I asked you to deal with them a bit, but you’ve been giving them no face at all lately."

"I don’t want to deal with them; a glance is enough to know what they’re like."

An Ruoxue replied unhappily.
