Chaoge is not as easy to fool as you think.
Ugh, this is troublesome.
She slowly took out a pair of dark blue gloves from the upper pocket of her military uniform coat and put them on.
Chaoge let out a soft breath, then turned her gaze to the person who had been standing there. She scrutinized her carefully for a long time before saying, word by word, "I was just being presumptuous, wasn't I? Qinghe, you could have taken back what was rightfully yours."
Luo Qinghe.
The former leader of the P4 Nebula.
She's so naive. How could she think that someone who dared to challenge the empire would die so easily?
Nodding to himself, Chaoge took two steps back, a slight smile curving her lips. "Activate remote teleportation mode, Yaochen."
Qin Muge's gaze suddenly turned sharp: "Kaiyang, stop it!"
But her command was a fraction too late. Min Kaiyang watched helplessly as the child disintegrated into particles and vanished into the air right before his eyes. The blond man could only follow suit in the same way.
[From my points, I've redeemed twenty proximity mines, one small, single-unit, self-propelled ion cannon, and one laser gun.]
[Exchange successful, 32,000 points consumed, 50,000 points remaining.] The moment Yao Chen appeared beside Chao Ge, these weapons materialized out of thin air around him as he landed.
The motion-activated landmines landed all around Chaoge and Yaochen, automatically entering a state of deployment complete and awaiting triggering.
A strange blue pattern floated beneath the waiter's skin, and before everyone's eyes, the face transformed into the handsome face that Chaoge remembered.
However, because of the things around Chaoge, she and Qin Muge stopped in their tracks. It wasn't that they were afraid the power of these weapons would harm them... they were worried that once triggered, Chaoge, who was in the very center, would have no chance of escaping.
Chaoge looked down at the gun in her hand and suddenly felt dizzy, her eyelids seemed heavy... her body swayed involuntarily.
"Chaoge!"
"Chaoge!"
Both voices on the other end sounded terrified, as if they were afraid that Chaoge might fall within the detection range of the landmine, which would be very awkward.
Fortunately, Yao Chen, who was right next to her, caught her in time, and the girl only swayed slightly before regaining her balance. When she opened her eyes again, a hint of confusion flashed in her dark brown eyes.
Then, upon seeing Qin Muge and Luo Qinghe, the man revealed an almost bewitching smile, standing there leisurely watching the show, casually surveying the dangerous landmines scattered around him, and asking in an almost gloating tone, "Oh dear, looks like things have gone too far."
Qin Muge rubbed his temples, and Luo Qinghe's face instantly turned ashen. Even Yao Chen, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but mutter a headache-inducing complaint, "Why did you unleash two personalities again!"
Pretending not to notice their troubled expressions, she clapped her hands, seemingly applauding the scene before her. The girl's tone held a hint of regret, "Looks like she doesn't want to play with you guys anymore."
A bad premonition flashed through Qin Muge's mind. "Battle mode activated! Kaiyang!" The imperial symbol on his gloves emitted a blue light, and the material of his military uniform underwent a material reorganization within a second.
The markings on Luo Qinghe's face became more and more obvious. Although she didn't know what Chaoge was going to do, she knew she was in the wrong and could only try her best to ensure that nothing happened to her.
"Yaochen, activate the energy and teleport to Earth." Chaoge's dual personality said, somewhat unsatisfied, but the content of her words was far more than what she said.
Yao Chen hesitated for only a fraction of a second, but ultimately, because the person making the decision was the one bound to Chao Ge, regardless of how many personalities he had, he still had to obey orders.
"Yan Chaoge! How dare you!" The last words Chaoge heard here were Qin Muge's words, which sounded more helpless than a threat.
How strange, she thought vaguely.
So even Qin Muge has moments when he's powerless.
Author's note: Hahaha, someone guessed right.
The author is giving us some sweet moments because... there's plot development coming up, haha! But don't panic! What follows is the scene where Chaoge and my general officially confirm their romantic relationship on Earth! In other words, it's real! Romance!
Are you happy? [Although the process was a tiny bit angsty.]

It's time to thank you for the free tickets!
Thanks to Koshimizu for throwing a landmine. Ugh, I know you love the cheesy smell of romance, but! We're aiming for a long-lasting show! So please bear with this little bit of... well, normal plot development. Mwah! I know you love me!
Thanks to RP for throwing a landmine! What does "triangle" refer to? Actually, I think Luo Qinghe wasn't competitive at all from beginning to end. Chaoge never liked her; Chaoge and General Qin liked each other, lol.

One more piece of nonsense,
I've been playing Hearthstone these past few days, and I'm getting absolutely destroyed by the computer's practice mode... I was thinking of taking a break from writing, but then I realized... I still have to write. *sobs*
Chapter 89 The Sixth Way to Win Over a Wife
Because of his rage, Qin Muge's face was flushed pink, which only made his eyes appear more radiant and his face even more beautiful.
She quickly suppressed all the emotions on her face.
She glanced at Luo Qinghe with an ambiguous look, her eyes revealing a hint of contempt, as if this person had never been worthy of her attention.
[Kaiyang, activate the Empire's highest-level linkage system.] Qin Muge hadn't contacted Min Kaiyang in this way for many years. If the situation weren't so urgent, she could probably calmly give orders even if they were attacked all the way to Yuandu.
Min Kaiyang's golden eyes, as cold as stars, glanced indifferently in Qin Muge's direction.
[Starting to capture the location of the highest-level key - teleporting in four-dimensional space, unable to capture, do you want to teleport immediately?] Even though his eyes didn't show any emotion, he still had many questions for Qin Muge, but her orders were obviously being prioritized, so the questions were naturally put aside.
[If I don't use my own energy to jump, where will you find soul fragments to connect to the key?] Seeing that Qin Muge was about to agree to the option without hesitation, Min Kaiyang suppressed the need to emphasize the danger of following and teleporting in an unknown location, and finally couldn't help but ask her about the sacrifice option for the Imperial Key.
Although he knew Qin Muge wouldn't do something so foolish as to sacrifice himself without any result, Min Kaiyang still wanted to nip that possibility in the bud.
Wake up, my general! Be realistic!
"During my absence, the imperial agency will be transferred to Min Kaiyang." Qin Muge set up the smart screen in front of him and completed the authorization matters in a short time.
Finally, Qin Muge glanced at Luo Qinghe, whose expression was unpleasant but who hadn't uttered a word throughout, and the faint blue light sphere on the little finger of his dark blue glove flared up considerably. At the same time:
[Initiate teleportation.] The final order was given, and Min Kaiyang had no choice but to obey.
The woman in the white military uniform had her gloves glowing brighter and brighter. Countless pale blue data chains extended from the smart screens surrounding her, encircling her. Eventually, the blue light turned into a blinding white.
Of all those present, only Luo Qinghe could stare at the white light, which seemed to be burning hot, without changing her expression. She reached out and touched the outer edge of it, and as expected, she was bounced back.
Did Chaoge leave because of her?
Luo Qinghe was somewhat bewildered. She hadn't expected to be unable to offer even a single explanation, nor had she imagined that Chaoge would simply abandon everything like this... What was Earth? Why couldn't she recall it even after searching through her memories?
That place must be very difficult to reach, otherwise Qin Muge wouldn't have given everything he owned to another person.
The image of Qin Muge's last glance at her kept replaying in her mind.
It seems that there was never a place for her between the two of them.
It's as if she's still the same person who followed behind them back in military school.
I was unable to intervene.
Regardless of her current status.
The moment Qin Muge disappeared, Min Kaiyang teleported back to Yuandu to handle the temporary handover matters, leaving only Luo Qinghe and a few soldiers from the Ling family branch who had witnessed the strange events of the day.
Then, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on the once beautiful face of the P4 Nebula Overlord. The blue lines on her face were faintly visible, and her melodious voice somehow sent a chill down everyone's spine.
"Are you all the only ones left?" she asked casually, her gaze sweeping over everyone present.
He seemed to be thinking of something and muttered to himself, "Letting you go will cause her trouble. I have to wait for her to come back and apologize sincerely."
His eyes were like water, but his actions were ruthless in the opposite way.
A few minutes later.
An ordinary-looking woman walked out of the hall and closed the door behind her, covering up the lingering smell of blood inside.
As for why these people suffered such an undeserved misfortune, apart from their families, who else would care?
On the other end.
Because of the long-distance teleportation and the instability of four-dimensional space, Chaoge only saw the bizarre and colorful scenes around her for less than ten seconds before her brain became dizzy.
A notification sound rang in her ears, but due to the dizziness and throbbing in her brain, she couldn't hear it at all. She simply remained silent, even suspecting that it was a hallucination.
The sound continued for a long time before stopping.
Chaoge felt as if she had been stuffed into a tornado, completely losing control of her body, and even feeling as if her head was about to be separated from her body.
Suddenly, a binding force gripped her waist, startling her so much that she opened her eyes, thinking that the teleportation had failed or that she had been caught by something.
Unexpectedly, I met a pair of red eyes that showed no sign of a smile.
Seeing her lips moving as if she were saying a long sentence, Yan Chaoge momentarily forgot her own situation and stared at her lips, struggling to read the lip language.
His face immediately contorted with immense rage!
For the first time, such intense hatred appeared in his deep brown eyes, as if he wanted to burn the woman holding him to ashes.
It's like a silent cry: What right do you have?!
Her eyes were wide open with all her might, almost pulling blood from the corners of her eyes—when Qin Muge saw this, he reached out and covered her eyes, looking at her silently uttered words with a blank expression, his heart unmoved.
"I'm so sorry," Qin Muge thought. Only now did she realize how much she wanted this person in front of her, her body, and her soul, which was probably no different from her own.
So whether you are the original Yan Chaoge who is still alive and not quite dead in her body, or another personality that she has truly split off, Qin Muge only wants the person she wants, and will not leave anyone else behind.
Since even Chaoge herself is unaware of your existence, let me put a final period to your traces.
No matter how angry you are, you were the one who didn't survive back then, so why should you live on by borrowing someone else's extra lifespan?
"You killed her." At that moment, a voice rang in Qin Muge's ears. It was a very clear, childlike voice, calmly stating this fact.
"Yes." Qin Muge smiled and did not deny it.
Yao Chen couldn't help but ask angrily, "You should know that 'she' was also from Chaoge! And with our abilities, we could have cured her illness! You killed her now! And without even getting Chaoge's consent!"
Qin Muge still wore a smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. Quietly gazing at the face of the unconscious person before her, she answered slowly and deliberately:
"Yes, you could have, but as her AI, you didn't handle this sooner because you couldn't. You still haven't figured out 'her' identity, and you still have the nerve to question my actions?"
Every word was precious, like a sharp knife slashing directly at Yao Chen.
Why is it that the original owner, who should have died from Toxin Zero long ago, is still able to leave a remnant consciousness in Chaoge's body? If she isn't eliminated, will this lurking entity take control of Chaoge one day when she becomes overly emotional?
Too many uncontrollable factors could cause Qin Muge to lose the person she cares about at any time, which touched a nerve with Qin Muge.
Yao Chen was rendered speechless by her questioning.
Yes, he really thought it was a minor problem, and didn't even consider that it was a problem with the original owner's soul. It was probably because the soul wavelength of the person who transmigrated from Chaoge was the same as that of the original owner, so it easily caused a soul resonance and awakened the consciousness that person had left in the body.
Seeing that Chaoge's AI was pondering the question, Qin Muge asked again, "So, whose body is this?"
