Captivating the Martial Realm

He wore silver armor, each step creating a light sound of metal plates clashing, adding a wild flavor to his appearance, like a battle god descending to earth. Seeing him walk towards me, my heart raced. Pushing aside the long-corroded hatred, I felt something for him at that moment.

Then I saw him smile as he approached me—and the bed behind me. Ignoring our exasperated looks, Jin Mo plopped onto the bed: “These boots are terrible, they’re worn out after just a few steps.” As if no one was around, he pulled out another pair of boots from under the bed and changed. After walking a few steps, he seemed to suddenly notice us: “You’re here.”

His attitude made me angry, and I stood up to leave. But Jin Mo quickly blocked my path: “Where are you going?”

“What, are you going to imprison me?” I laughed coldly, with tensions rising behind me as the beautiful men also showed their anger. Even if we couldn’t match his thousands of troops, taking him down shouldn’t be a problem.

Surprisingly, Jin Mo was unfazed and smiled somewhat bleakly: “Take me away.”

We were all stunned: What did he mean? “Willing to exchange the kingdom for a beauty?”

Xiao Zi looked at him thoughtfully.

“What trick is this now?” Feng Qing Yin asked Jin Mo directly, instinctively distrustful of him and skeptical about resisting the temptation of an empire.

“Maybe he truly has repented?” Mu Ji Yu had a special admiration for Jin Mo, seeing a parallel between their paths. Jin Mo, a young emperor, had consolidated imperial power, pacified rebellions, and unified the realm. Meanwhile, Mu Ji Yu had built up the Mu family’s legacy through external relations and expansion.

The other beautiful men knew about my history with Jin Mo and surprisingly supported him. Meng Yu said, “No one is perfect. Who can be without fault?”

I thought, they don’t realize how cunning he is! If we accept him, he’d eventually outmaneuver us! I looked at these “traitors” resentfully while standing beside Feng Qing Yin, showing my loyalty to him.

Jin Mo stared at Feng Qing Yin: “I’ll exchange the kingdom for Piao Ling.”
