Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Openly Shipping CP on the Dark Web

Regarding the SSS-level Beastmen’s romantic pursuit of Liang He, on the dark web unbeknownst to her, legions of shippers were gathering at incredible speeds.

[I’m biased by the ’first love’ filter, so I still think the Marshal and the Breeder are the most adorable together~]

[Well, I think the Commander is pretty great too~ Plus, Mr. Lanton is mature, steady, and responsible. He’s the perfect candidate for a son-in-law!]

[I can’t agree with that! How is our Empire’s Admiral Kuang Ye lacking in any way? Xianyun Yehuo is the GOAT!]

Among all the fluffballs, the ship name "Xianyun Yehuo" was the very first to appear, a true testament to its immense popularity. This was especially true after rumors leaked that Admiral Kuang Ye had been injured fighting the Rebel Army and that Liang He had treated him; the shippers completely lost their minds.

[Actually, the Little Crown Prince of the Empire isn’t bad either. The older woman-younger man dynamic is super sweet to ship, okay~]

[Ugh, honestly, I think the Breeder is absolutely fantastic. Even if she keeps them all for herself, why not?]

[...The commenter above is a genius! In that case, I won’t hold back. I want to place an order—wait, I mean name drop! I really want to see the Divine Son step down from his pedestal for love!]

[!!! How bold! You dare to fantasize about the Divine Son?! But I like it~ Hehe!]

The "Divine Son" the netizens spoke of was none other than Yin Qi—the very person Silver Feather wanted to send over for Liang He to look after.

As the Divine Son of the Silver Wing Temple, Yin Qi rarely made public appearances. However, every time he did, it sparked a massive frenzy. The reason was simple: he was devastatingly beautiful. A face so stunning that words paled in comparison, combined with the natural mystique bestowed upon him by his status as the Divine Son, was enough to captivate anyone’s soul.

[If it’s the Divine Son, I’m totally on board! I’ve even figured out how to write the fanfic, hehe!]

[Hold on... you guys are really oversharing here. Aren’t you afraid the temple will come after you?]

[The divine loves all. Although the temple stands isolated in the Endless Ice Domain, they wouldn’t be petty over something like this. Back when the Divine Son sparked a frenzy of fantasies, they didn’t say a word.]

To stand on equal footing with the Empire and the Royal Court, the Silver Wing Temple naturally needed the support of the citizens. As long as it didn’t violate their core principles, they wouldn’t mind. The netizens had no idea that their passionate shipping would somehow lead the Divine Son, Yin Qi, to actually become one of her suitors.

"The Holy Daughter wants us to send the Divine Son to the Tianyao Star Protection Zone?"

The speaker was a woman with silky silver hair that radiated a brilliant glow. Time had left faint traces on her face, but it didn’t diminish her striking beauty in the slightest. She was the High Priest of the Silver Wing Temple—Silver Wind.

High Priest Silver Wind was the highest authority in the Silver Wing Temple, second only to Silver Feather and Yin Qi. The temple didn’t have a true Divine Lord; the Holy Daughter and the Divine Son represented the will of the gods.

"Yes. It’s said that there might be someone in the Tianyao Star Protection Zone who can cure the Divine Son."

Silver Feather was an impatient woman of action. After discussing it with Liang He, she immediately relayed the message back to the temple, instructing High Priest Silver Wind to send Yin Qi over as soon as possible.

"Is it that lady named Liang He?"

As the temple’s High Priest, it was impossible for Silver Wind to be completely ignorant of Liang He’s deeds, though she had only heard brief mentions of her. She hadn’t expected that Silver Feather, who had clearly gone to deal with Silver Shuttle’s situation, would suddenly ask to have Yin Qi sent over as well.

"I was wondering why she was so eager to personally visit Sky Shining Star. So, it was for this matter."

Helping Silver Shuttle with the aftermath was just an excuse; testing whether Liang He had real skills was her true motive.

"Someone the Holy Daughter trusts wholeheartedly is naturally trusted by our temple. Let’s do as she says."

As the Holy Daughter, Silver Feather possessed a unique and gifted ability to read people’s hearts. She had never misjudged anyone. Since Liang He could win the Holy Daughter’s trust in such a short time, it was proof enough that she had a kind nature and a pure soul. Besides, Yin Qi’s condition had been a source of agonizing worry for them for a long time. It was high time they looked outside for a glimmer of hope.

"Send Priest Silver Li to lead the Divine Envoys. Ensure that the Divine Son is safely escorted to the Tianyao Star Protection Zone."

"Yes!"

Just like that, a groggy Yin Qi was gently rocked along on a journey, leaving the Endless Ice Domain where he had lived for many years for the very first time, bound for the Tianyao Star Protection Zone.

Liang He, completely unaware that another big shot was about to join her army of fluffballs, was currently leading everyone in preparing dinner. As usual, no one felt right just sitting around waiting to be fed. Instead, they all pitched in to help prep the ingredients as much as they could, trying to ensure that Liang He only had to handle the actual cooking.

"Ah Ling, you’re a guest. You can go rest."

At Silver Feather’s strong insistence, Liang He had started calling her Ah Ling, which indeed sounded much more intimate than using her full name.

"Little He, you’re already calling me Ah Ling, yet you still treat me like a guest? That’s just mean!"

Although she was the esteemed Holy Daughter, Silver Feather had never been someone who expected to be waited on hand and foot. Well, she used to drink nutrient solutions, so that didn’t really count. In short, everyone in the temple, regardless of their status, was instilled with the ability to be independent from a young age. She was definitely not some spoiled, squeamish princess.

"Actually, what I wanted to say is... you can’t wash vegetables like that..."

Looking at the vegetables that had been mangled and torn to shreds by Silver Feather, Liang He sighed helplessly. She took over and demonstrated. "Just like this..."

Silver Feather, belatedly realizing she was only causing more trouble for Liang He, embarrassedly pinched her earlobe. "Sorry, I’ve never learned how to do this before."

"Why are you apologizing?" Liang He gave Silver Feather a warm smile, soothing her slightly dejected mood. "You all grew up drinking nutrient solutions, so it’s completely normal not to know how to wash or cook vegetables. You can just learn slowly. Just like Hoder and the others—they were clumsy and chaotic in the beginning too."

Hoder, upon hearing his name, immediately chimed in. "Exactly! We didn’t know anything at first, but aren’t we doing pretty well now?" He raised a smug eyebrow and showed off his knife skills.

Initially, Liang He had only let them wash vegetables, while Xu Yi, who had good knife skills, was put in charge of chopping. Now that there were more people and the amount of food to prepare had significantly increased, Hoder had been honorably promoted to head chopper.

"You’re right. Then I really need to learn from you properly during this time."

Successfully comforted, Silver Feather rallied her spirits and earnestly began asking Liang He how to properly wash and sort the vegetables. She soon got the hang of it. Her reasoning was simple: because of Yin Qi, she would be staying here at least until his condition stabilized. Therefore, learning to help out early on would prevent her from being a burden to Liang He.

"Alright, we have plenty of time ahead of us."

Liang He was very welcoming of their first female member moving in. As it happened, the room next to Silver Shuttle’s was still empty. Since they would be living on the same floor, they could also look out for each other.

"By the way, where did Xu Yi go? Why isn’t he back yet?"

"I asked him to help assemble the cooking pots. He should be almost done, right?"

Because tonight’s menu featured dishes they had never eaten before, Liang He had asked Xu Yi to help prepare the cookware. Just as she said that, Xu Yi pushed open the door connecting the activity room to the kitchen, staring at Liang He with a look of absolute despair.

"Liang He, maybe you should get Lan Zhuo to lend me a hand. I can’t figure this thing out at all!"
