Hmph, woman

Rogge returned to his base, which was disguised as a private residence.

As expected, she received a warm hug from Shulan, who was disguised as her aunt.

This has become a common practice.

Although Rogge didn't know where this custom came from.

"There shouldn't be anything unusual lately, right?"

"Apart from Ji Xia constantly clamoring to go out, everything is normal so far."

Unlike others who need to gather intelligence outside, Ji Xia is a pure combatant whose main job is to guard the Sin Palace.

Over time, you'll naturally get bored.

Rogge chatted with Shulan about their recent situations and soon arrived at the Hall of Sin.

"Owner!"

Ji Xia sensed Rogge's presence and immediately pounced over.

Then, as always, he was stopped by Shulan.

"Can't."

"You stinky fox! The fox stench you left on Master is too strong! Why can you hug Master to replenish your energy, but I can't cuddle with Master!"

"That was a necessary act of pretense, and you were only doing it for your own selfish desires."

"Then I'm doing this for Master's own good! Master and I are connected by blood; being together allows us to resonate with dragon blood and enhance our talents!"

"His Highness only needs your blood, not you as a person."

"Gurgle... Stinky fox..."

"That rude braised lizard..."

"I haven't awakened any energy-generating talent, so what kind of energy can you replenish by holding me...?"

Roger was speechless.

He went directly to the main seat in the Hall of Sin and sat down.

Suddenly, a childish voice came from the side hall.

"What's all this noise? So it really is Prince Roger back?"

Rogge looked in the direction of the sound and saw a little girl in a red dress walking out carrying a pillow.

She gave a small yawn and glanced at Roger with sleepy eyes.

Then, quite naturally, she walked over to Roger, skillfully climbed onto Roger's lap, and continued to sleep soundly and comfortably while holding Roger.

"..."

"Lord Crimson Phoenix, you're not allowed to run away!"

Upon seeing this, Ji Xia disregarded Shu Lan and immediately stepped forward to protest.

Shulan echoed this sentiment.

"Your Highness is of noble status. Please be mindful of your conduct and get off Your Highness."

"You children are really unreasonable. I have a legitimate reason to do this; I am exercising my rights."

Chi Huang said confidently.

"I underwent Nirvana with His Highness Rogge, and transferred the Phoenix Heart, the source of power, to His Highness, which is why I have become a child like this now."

"Only by being with Your Highness can I quickly regain my original strength."

"It's completely different from yours."

After saying that, Chi Huang twisted her body and continued to sleep comfortably on Rogge's chest.

"Gurgle..."

Ji Xia cleared her throat and stared intently at Chi Huang, but she couldn't refute him.

Shulan watched Rogge quietly.

Quietly.

"..."

"cough."

Sensing the strange atmosphere around him, Roger pretended to cough and quickly changed the subject.

"Speaking of which, where are Wolf and Goode? Haven't they arrived yet?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a strange noise came from the entrance to the Hall of Sin.

Wolf and Goode arrived.

……

"Now that everyone is here, let's begin this roundtable discussion."

Rogge looked at the group of cadres.

Compared to six months ago, there haven't been many changes in personnel, except for the addition of a Crimson Phoenix, who serves as the hidden fifth executive.

Having five cadres in the four major positions is a perfectly normal arrangement.

"Damn the Inquisitors, they've been investigating very closely lately, so I dare not make any rash moves."

Wolf grinned unhappily.

"Both the royal guards and the judges of the Truth Cult are currently being mobilized on a large scale. It seems that our killing of the Truth Cult bishop has provoked them."

Goode revealed a sinister smile.

In fact, Rogge had planned several operations in the past six months.

Most of the time, it's to rescue fellow human race members, but occasionally it's also to launch revenge against the human leaders who have harmed other races.

During this time, the chief inquisitor acted like a mad dog, relentlessly pursuing Rogge even at the cost of letting other alien races go.

However, the current Rogge is different from the one in his predetermined fate. With the ability to change the course of the battle, he repeatedly clashes with the Chief Inquisitor, turns the tide of defeat, and leads everyone to a safe retreat.

By now, Rogge has quite a few alien subordinates under his command.

However, out of caution, Rogge did not accept them into the Temple of Sin.

Instead, they were allowed to remain hidden in the shadows, making contact through Wolf's Wolf Gang or Goode himself.

In a recent operation, Rogge, acting on a mission assigned by the system, assassinated a bishop of the Church of Truth.

This move undoubtedly angered the Truth Church.

"That damned bishop was less than human than us aliens; he deserved to die."

Wolf spat.

"Indeed."

Red Phoenix sat on Rogge's lap, swinging her fair legs as she reminisced about the past.

"I have encountered many human bishops or commanders in the past. They possess extraordinary willpower and extremely strong physical abilities, even surpassing those of us from other races."

"According to the information I gathered in the palace, the strength of the human race's high-ranking officials should not be underestimated."

Shulan agreed.

As for Ji Xia, she had been lying on the round table since the meeting started, her gaze fixed on Chi Huang.

I don't know what she's thinking.

"That's fine if that's the case."

Roger nodded and told everyone the purpose of his return.

"The Royal Academy is preparing for its final field training, and I will be leaving the capital for the countryside. So please refrain from any rash actions during this time and wait for my return."

"Your Highness is going to the remote wilderness; would you like us to protect you secretly?"

"No need. With the academy teachers watching, it would be more dangerous for you to come along."

Roger shook his head.

In his predetermined fate, Rogge harbored a desire for revenge against his classmate, secretly arranging for his alien subordinates to harm him.

In the end, he didn't gain any benefits and was instead beaten up by the teachers of the Royal Academy and the Inquisitor hiding in the shadows.

In addition to suffering heavy casualties, they also incurred enmity with the Holy Clan Sword Maiden and others.

It can be said that they dug their own grave.

Roger is doing well now, so there's no need for him to seek revenge.

"It seems that Your Highness is getting along well with your human classmates at the Royal Academy."

Shulan shook her fluffy fox ears.

She gazed at Roger with an unwavering expression and spoke slowly.

"Your Highness surely isn't hiding anything from us, is he?"

"What is it?"

Roger felt a little guilty under Shulan's gaze.

But then Shulan continued.

"Your Highness's feigned friendship with humans is a necessary measure to conceal your identity. However, humans and other races are mortal enemies. I hope Your Highness will act with caution and never develop genuine feelings... especially towards human women."

Shulan emphasized the last sentence.

She leaned close to Roger, her expression serious and earnest, as if she were talking about something extremely important.

"Human women are extremely cunning and treacherous. They will use all sorts of means to get close to Your Highness, lure you into their traps, and then take advantage of you. Your Highness must be careful and try to distance yourself from those wicked women as much as possible."

"Yes, yes!"

Ji Xia jolted awake, unusually roused, and brandished her fists, speaking eloquently.

"I don't think those human women are any good. They're ruthless, and betrayal is commonplace for them. Master, please don't get close to those people. Only we are worthy of your trust."

"I wholeheartedly agree with that."

Even Chi Huang nodded seriously.

"Hmph, woman."

Wolf curled his lip in disdain.

"Hehehe... This old man would rather see Your Highness toying with the feelings of those human women and then cruelly discarding them... That would surely be a most delightful sight..."

Goode chuckled strangely.

The next second, he was met with Ji Xia's angry glare and Shu Lan's cold gaze.

It wilted instantly.

"..."

Roger was both amused and exasperated.

Are the human women we know really of the same species?
