Protect Our Clan Leader

...

"I'm sorry, Queen Lan Xin." Even Princess Su Yun didn't expect this outcome. She held Queen Lan Xin's hand and comforted her softly, "I didn't consider that people's hearts can change. Shouldn't we just leave?"

"Su Yun sister, you've never been in love, don't start directing things all over the place, okay?" Princess Hua Rui was also standing with her arms crossed, her little face puffed up angrily. "To deal with an old scoundrel like this, you have to teach him a profound lesson. You should hook him first, then ruthlessly dump him, let him truly taste the feeling of loss."

"Hua Rui, what can such a little kid like you understand?" Princess Su Yun flicked her fingers against Hua Rui's forehead, speechless, "I haven't been in love, have you? If I were to follow my own temper, I'd put that old scoundrel in a sack, beat him up, and throw him into the Chaotic Soul Ocean to feed the fish."

"Agreed, can't I just agree?" Princess Hua Rui rubbed her forehead, looking very aggrieved, "Su Yun sister is truly a dominating princess."

"It's not really his fault." Queen Lan Xin said with a face extremely unnatural, "After all, the oldest among them are only a few hundred years old, while I'm already three thousand. Naturally, I can't compare to their youthful vigor."

"Queen Lan Xin, you're still speaking up for him?" Princess Su Yun was infuriated.

"Not exactly..." Queen Lan Xin frowned slightly and forced herself to reflect, "Just thinking back to my younger days, wasn't I just the same, looking down my nose and hardly giving him a kind look."

As they were talking,

the social gathering was getting lively.

With gourmet dishes and Spiritual Wine, the atmosphere inside gradually became more harmonious. All the senior brothers there were like blooming, vibrant flowers, interacting and conversing with various young ladies.

In their lifetimes, the amount of words spoken to women might not equal this one meal.

And this, couldn't be separated from the special training earlier.

Wang Ningxi's strategy was undoubtedly very successful. Under his vigilantly sharp gaze, he had already noticed several pairs of men and women hitting it off and sneaking out together.

The most "infuriating", of course, was the Hundred Refinements True Monarch. Like an old butterfly, he fluttered among the tender flowers, never once giving Queen Lan Xin a glance.

Princess Su Yun suppressed her impulse several times, almost deciding to leave, but was stopped by Queen Lan Xin each time.

Until finally, as the music ended and the tired birds seemed to have all found their nests.

Among the crowd, only two felt sour and bitter inside.

One was the recently successful Yao Chengchao.

Facing the exorbitant bill from Manager Wang, he felt the tears of regret welling up in his heart. Had he known it would turn out like this, would he have dared to provoke Hua Rui, the Little Princess?

As for the other, it was Queen Lan Xin.

Facing the desolate scene following the crazy social event, her heart gradually sank.

It turned out she, Lan Xin, was no longer the goddess she once was.

Confronting those young Spirit Plant Master girls, she had no competitive edge left. Her glorious days had come to an end.

She drank the last cup of Spiritual Wine, elegantly rising.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to leave, a low voice from the Hundred Refinements True Monarch sounded behind her, "Lan Xin, long time no see."

Queen Lan Xin turned quickly and indeed saw the Hundred Refinements True Monarch looking at her with a half-smile.

Her heart moved; just as she was about to greet him, her face suddenly turned cold, "Aren't you going to accompany those young girls?"

"I approached them simply to gather information on the Lan Xin goddess in my heart." The Hundred Refinements True Monarch smiled easily, "Lan Xin, are you jealous?"

"I'm certainly not jealous!" Queen Lan Xin panicked inside, snapping angrily, "Hundred Refinements, you overestimate yourself. Why are you stopping me? This King is returning to the mansion."

Saying that, she hastily stepped past him to leave.

However, she'd barely taken two steps before the Hundred Refinements True Monarch thick-skinnedly blocked her way.

With a flip of his hand, there appeared in his palm a dark-gold artifact refining ball, which he handed to her, "After a long separation, this is a gift for you."

Queen Lan Xin fell speechless.

Really, an artifact refining straight man, at this time not presenting flowers but a metal ball. Fine, fine, considering he specially prepared a gift and showed some thought, she would give him face and accept it for now~

Unexpectedly, just as she took the ball.

The artifact refining ball suddenly seemed to come to life, blooming like a flower bud.

Dazzling light and shadow refracted under the sunlight, and in a blink, a splendid golden orchid appeared in Queen Lan Xin's palm.

Queen Lan Xin was instantly overjoyed.

"This is the Eternal Flower I crafted from Pure Gold over the years. Because Lan Xin, in my heart, you're like this Eternal Flower, never withering." The Hundred Refinements True Monarch smiled with relief as he looked at the [Eternal Flower] in Queen Lan Xin's hand, "I've never had the chance to give it to you. Today, thanks to Ningxi, I can fulfill this dream. Goodbye Lan Xin, I'm going back to be my blacksmith and continue contributing to the Human race."

With that, he turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Queen Lan Xin's heart panicked; she almost instinctively called out to him.
