"Hmph, if she were reasonable, she wouldn't have spoiled such an arrogant and conceited daughter." Yu Xiao rarely retorted to Yu Tang, and continued, "Master, don't be afraid. If they dare to go against you, I will wipe them out."
"Even if I destroy the entire Auro Empire, I will not let you suffer the slightest harm."

Died for the villain for the seventh time (18)
Hearing this dangerous statement...
Yu Tang couldn't help but pat Yu Xiao on the head and said helplessly, "Stop shouting for war all the time."
He said, "The Auro Empire has a population of tens of billions. Her Majesty the Queen is a wise monarch who can coordinate all of this, avoid social chaos, and create a peaceful environment for the empire."
Therefore, even if the royal family makes some mistakes, we should be tolerant of them.
"And even if you have the ability to destroy an empire, you can't use it recklessly." Yu Tang's expression turned serious.
He made Yu Xiao look up and meet his gaze, then asked earnestly, "Xiao Xiao, do you know why there are rules in the world?"
Seeing Yu Xiao's somewhat bewildered expression, Yu Tang explained, "Because rules are necessary to restrict people's behavior, maintain social order, and prevent cruel things from happening."
"You are very powerful, but your power cannot be used to harm innocent people."
"If you harm the Queen, you will destabilize the political situation of the Oro Empire and cause many innocent people to suffer. That is wrong."
Yu Xiao listened quietly, and her excitement level dropped.
With her eyelashes lowered, she didn't answer Yu Tang's question, but was secretly thinking about something.
Yu Tang knew that it would indeed be a bit difficult to get the villain to understand this meaning.
After all, Yu Xiao grew up in that kind of abnormal environment, never received equal treatment from childhood to adulthood, and was exposed to the dark side of human nature.
It's already quite difficult to restrain my destructive urges and stay with him these days.
He couldn't be too demanding of Yu Xiao.
"Xiaoxiao..."
He tried to change the subject, but was interrupted by Yu Xiao, who suddenly looked up.
"Master, I want to go to school!" Yu Xiao's eyes were bright as she said to Yu Tang, "I want to apply to the Navel Military Academy that you attended!"
This nonsensical answer left Yu Tang stunned.
"Huh?" he asked instinctively, "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
"Oh, don't worry about that!" Yu Xiao seemed to suddenly perk up, tugging at his arm and shaking it playfully, "Promise me, promise me you'll let me try applying to Nave Military Academy..."
Yu Tang was increasingly bewildered by Yu Xiao's shaking, and finally had no choice but to agree.
Once back at his lodgings, Yu Xiaozhen began preparing diligently for the military academy entrance exam.
She doesn't even stick close to Yu Tang anymore; she spends all her time studying hard.
He worked so hard that Yu Tang was speechless.
Yu Tang brought this up with Xiao Jin, who thought about it for a moment and then tentatively asked, "Host, do you think he might be planning to oust the Queen and become king himself?"
Yu Tang was drinking water when he heard this. He immediately choked and coughed, patting his chest to catch his breath before rubbing Xiao Jin's head and saying, "Really? How could he have such a thought?"
"Of course it's because of you! Yu Xiao's favorability towards you has reached 65, which means she really likes you."
Xiao Jin said: "Think back to the previous villains. After reaching this level of favorability, which villain would tolerate you being hurt?"
In particular, Cheng Luo killed the base leader, and Chu Jiangli chopped off Wei Laogui's head with a single sword strike.
They will listen to you, but they won't just stand by and watch you get hurt.
[What you said to Yu Xiao that day was probably interpreted by Yu Xiao as: you intend to unconditionally tolerate the persecution you suffer from the Queen and the Princess, simply because the Queen is able to govern the Auro Empire so well.]
Of course he would think that if he could do everything the Queen did, then he could accept destroying the other side.
So I guess he's currently studying hard, constantly improving himself, waiting to destroy the Queen someday.
Yu Tang: ?
Although he was full of questions, after thinking about it carefully, Yu Tang felt that, based on the personality traits shown by the villains in the previous worlds, Yu Xiao might actually be thinking the same thing!
The more I think about it, the more reasonable it seems.
In the evening, Yu Tang couldn't resist bringing homemade desserts, pushing open the study door, and walking to Yu Xiao's side.
"Xiaoxiao, these are some chocolate cookies I baked. Would you like to try some?"
Yu Xiao immediately shifted her gaze from the projector, pressed the pause button on the warship piloting video, and looked at Yu Tang with shining eyes.
"Master, you can even bake cookies?!"
"Yes, I know a little." Yu Tang sat down next to him and naturally took a biscuit and fed it to Yu Xiao.
Yu Xiao opened her mouth wide and bit off the whole biscuit in one gulp, then licked the man's fingers afterward.
He praised it without reservation: "It's super delicious!"
Yu Tang was already used to his intimate gestures, so he picked up another piece and handed it to him, which Yu Xiao accepted without hesitation.
After feeding him most of the plate, Yu Tang wiped his hands and asked, "Xiaoxiao, how's your preparation for the military academy exam going?"
"I'm almost ready, and I'll be able to take the exam soon!"
Yu Xiao propped herself up on the stool with both hands between her legs and played with it back and forth.
It swayed back and forth, making extremely childish movements.
But his face showed undisguised joy.
Xiao Jin's guess was correct.
Yu Xiao was indeed preparing to eliminate the queen and take her place.
But his replacement was actually an attempt to put Yu Tang in that position.
He felt that his master was more suited to sit on the throne than that damned queen.
In the past two days, he had become familiar with the history of the Auro Empire and discovered that its class system was extremely unequal.
It seems that no matter how outstanding an ordinary person is, they are unable to take a leadership position.
Yu Tang was able to become a general simply because his excellence refreshed the history of the military academy, and he played a significant role in several important wars.
That's why he gained the support of most commoners, forcing the nobles and the royal family to make an exception and promote him to this military rank.
But that's as high as general.
Neither the nobles who coveted the imperial power nor the seemingly kind and approachable queen would allow Yu Tang to rise any higher in rank.
Yu Xiao analyzed this point and found it laughable.
In his eyes, Yu Tang was the most reasonable person!
No one is more suitable to sit in that position than his master!
Yu Tang found his swaying movements adorable and couldn't help but press his head down to stop him from moving around.
He asked Yu Xiao, "Then can you tell me why you suddenly wanted to apply to a military academy?"
"Because that's the school you went to, I want to go there too."
Yu Xiaocai wouldn't reveal his true thoughts; his smile was incredibly innocent: "I want to become as excellent as you, so those online trolls won't say I'm unworthy of my master anymore!"
Yu Tang was stunned.
He remembered what He Yu had said.
They had already sued those trolls and even posted messages confirming their relationship with Yu Xiao.
However, some people are still not optimistic about them.
Although the words weren't overly harsh, they did mention that Yu Xiao had no ability and was not worthy of the excellent Yu Tang.
He thought that perhaps Yu Xiao had seen these comments, which was why she had this idea.
It seems he and Xiao Jin were overthinking things.
With his doubts dispelled, Yu Tang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He ruffled the boy's hair, his gaze softening: "Actually, you don't need to work so hard. There's no question of one of us being unworthy of the other."
"No matter how outstanding others are, they are not you."
"You just need to remember..."
"I will never fall in love with anyone but you."

"Whoa! A confession! Host, you're so good with words!" Little Jin covered its mouth with its giant tiger paw and kept sending telepathic messages to Yu Tang: [If the Main God heard this, he'd probably laugh himself to death!]
Compared to Xiao Jin's excitement, Yu Tang didn't actually feel much.
Having experienced the previous worlds, he had already determined his feelings for Wei Yuan.
These words come out naturally.
Or rather, he even felt a sense of relief and liberation after saying it.
No longer be complacent and hesitant to move forward.
This was his true feeling that he expressed to Wei Yuan.
Thinking this, Yu Tang looked at Yu Xiao.
But they found that the boy's eyes had completely changed.
That was the wolf-like look in his eyes before he sneakily kissed me at a romantic restaurant!
Sure enough, Yu Xiao pounced on him the next moment and knocked him down onto the carpet.
But instead of taking a bite, it looked up at Little Gold, who was covering its eyes with its tiger paws and peeking through the gaps.
A hand pressed against Yu Tang's lips as he looked into Xiao Jin's eyes: "Xiao Jin, you can understand what I'm saying, right?"
