Chapter Index

    The Emperor looked at his son, who was unruly and rebellious towards others but exceptionally obedient and docile in front of him, like a loyal dog. He became even more pleased and said in a good mood, “That’s right.”

    Everything at the morning assembly continued as if nothing had happened.

    But the news that Auston doted on Ruan Tang, broke the legs of Duke Fediya’s youngest son for him, and disobeyed the Emperor, biting anyone he could get his hands on, almost digging up the entire foundation of the Fediya family just to seek justice for Ruan Tang, spread throughout the Imperial Star…

    Following closely, news also spread that Auston had changed his habits of many years for Ruan Tang, restored the natural environment of his eternally dark mansion, and that Ruan Tang was getting everything he wanted at Auston’s Duke’s manor.

    In an instant, all the nobles of the Imperial Star knew that Ruan Tang was Auston’s beloved…

    Although they didn’t know how Ruan Tang, that black-hearted lotus, had made Auston so devoted to him.

    But they knew that offending Ruan Tang was tantamount to angering Auston. Moreover, Auston didn’t care about your status or position, and would bite anyone for Ruan Tang, daring to investigate anything and report it to the Emperor.

    For a time, everyone was on edge.

    Ruan Tang’s reputation soared because of this, and he directly topped the list of Omegas in the Imperial noble circle who couldn’t be offended, all thanks to his crazy husband.

    Everyone was filled with awe for him, fearing that if Ruan Tang attended any event again, no one would dare to neglect him…

    Even the ignorant younger generations in their families were properly restrained and disciplined.

    After all, none of them wanted to follow in the footsteps of the Fediya family. The Duke Fediya was one of the seven great dukes, and things had already turned out like this… they didn’t have the guts or the strength to provoke the Bluebeard Duke’s anger!

    Auston could crush them completely like crushing a grasshopper.

    “Not simple, not simple. This Omega is not simple!” As soon as Duke Fediya returned home, he exclaimed, “I didn’t expect an Omega to change that madman to such an extent.”

    The eldest son of Fediya was confused and immediately asked, “Change? What has changed?”

    He didn’t understand what his father was talking about. The madman was referring to Auston, but he really couldn’t see any change…

    Auston was still as crazy as before, wasn’t he?

    Where was the change?

    “Do you think that if he hadn’t changed, your brother would have been able to come back unscathed?” Duke Fediya looked at his eldest son as if he were an idiot. To be able to reach the position of one of the seven great dukes, he was also a cunning old fox.

    He knew Auston’s nature well and had seen the tragic ends of those who had offended Auston in the past.

    Owen had only broken his leg, and their nobles could use medical equipment to repair it in a few seconds, making it as good as new. Wasn’t that considered unscathed?

    If Auston hadn’t changed, he wouldn’t have had to pretend to be furious and be forced by the Emperor to file a complaint. Instead, he would have been truly furious and gone to the Emperor to complain himself…

    Duke Fediya was very clear about this.

    The eldest son of Fediya wasn’t slow-witted and immediately understood something after hearing the Duke’s hint.

    “Tomorrow, tomorrow send your brother to Blue Sea Star and let him cultivate himself. Don’t let him set foot on Imperial Star in the next few years.” Duke Fediya suddenly thought of something, and his expression turned cold as he instructed, “The infighting in Imperial Star has been too intense in recent years. I don’t want to see him causing trouble everywhere and being used as cannon fodder, offending people he shouldn’t offend and bringing trouble to the family. I also don’t want to wade into the muddy waters of the royal family.”

    As a cunning old fox, he could see that Auston, this seemingly crazy Bluebeard Duke, was skilled and not someone to be trifled with.

    He also knew that Auston’s words at the morning assembly were carefully chosen to beathim, not to truly seek a life-and-death struggle with him.

    But he didn’t want to expose this point until his own interests were truly infringed upon.

    As an old noble, he only wanted to remain neutral and observe the situation, regardless of who was fighting with whom, and didn’t want to get involved.

    If Owen hadn’t caused trouble this time, he wouldn’t have gotten involved.

    “Yes, Father, I understand. I will definitely restrain my brother in the future.” The eldest son of Fediya immediately responded.

    This conversation between father and son also determined that Owen Fediya, this young A playboy, would not appear on Imperial Star for a long time.

    Zhou Yao also heard the rumors about Auston being infatuated with Ruan Tang at the first moment. In that instant, he was quite dazed.

    When Ruan Tang got married, although he hated and resented Ruan Tang, thinking that he was suffering the consequences of his own actions.

    But when he thought that Ruan Tang had really married such a terrifying Alpha out of spite, he regretted it very much and hoped that Ruan Tang would be okay.

    He was worried that something would happen to him, so he prayed day and night that Ruan Tang would be okay.

    But now, knowing that Ruan Tang was not only living well as he had hoped, but also receiving great favor from the terrifying Bluebeard Duke, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

    Zhou Yao didn’t know what was wrong with him.

    Clearly… clearly, the person he liked was Ruan Xi.

    But why was he so concerned about Ruan Tang’s affairs?

    Why?

    Zhou Yao couldn’t figure it out and could only shake his head with slight pain, forcing himself not to think about it anymore.

    Shen Mozhi was the same. He didn’t know what was wrong with him either. As soon as he heard news related to Ruan Tang, he felt a palpitation for no reason, and his heart was extremely uncomfortable…

    Clearly, Ruan Tang was just a black-hearted lotus who pretended to be his beloved and humiliated his beloved, but he damn cared about him.

    This feeling of suspected mental infidelity made Shen Mozhi extremely uncomfortable. As soon as he saw Ruan Xi, he couldn’t help but feel guilty, wanting to compensate him and treat him well, but deep down he was very clear about his feelings and could only force himself to ignore this strange feeling towards Ruan Tang…

    “How could this be? How could this be? Why? Why?” And after Ruan Xi’s reputation and status were once again improved because of Ruan Tang’s fame, he found that the false protagonist halo he had worked so hard to accumulate for so many years was unknowingly widening the distance with Ruan Tang’s true protagonist halo. He was immediately so angry that he went crazy, destroying and smashing everything on his desk all over the floor.

    And his system, the voice that sounded in his mind was still as cold and ruthless as in the past: “There are still two days left. The host must seize Auston’s love as soon as possible, otherwise your protagonist halo will crack!”

    As an emotionless machine, it would not comfort people or help people dispel negative emotions.

    It would only bring Ruan Xi reminders and notifications.

    “I know, I know.” But this reminder was like a death sentence to Ruan Xi, and he slammed another thing.

    Because of the surge in Ruan Tang’s reputation, he even forgot his fear of that perverted duke.

    Looking at Auston’s favor towards Ruan Tang, Ruan Xi couldn’t help but think crazily, since he would fall in love with someone, it meant that this villain still had emotions and desires.

    Since he had emotions and desires, he had the ability to make him forget Ruan Tang and fall in love with him instead…

    Why could Ruan Tang do what he couldn’t?

    As soon as Ruan Xi thought of Ruan Tang, he immediately squeezed out a voice from between his teeth: “I will definitely, definitely make him fall in love with me within two days.”

    What was there to fear about Ruan Tang having the protagonist halo? He was the one with the props. How could people fight against props? At most, he would exchange his lifespan with the system for the props that bewitched people’s hearts.

    As long as he made Auston fall in love with him, then killed Ruan Tang, seized the luck of this world, and replaced Ruan Tang as the protagonist–

    He would have everything.

    And Ruan Tang knew nothing about all of this. The Empress and Ruan Ming learned that Auston valued him so much, and they each made a communication to him.

    “Good child, you are indeed a good child! I knew that Auston would definitely like you. While you have the chance, quickly have a child with him and give birth to the crown prince… and then force him to work hard for your children. By then, everything in the entire empire will be ours…” Because of Ruan Tang’s excellent performance, the Empress’s expectations for him were even higher.

    Not only did she expect him to have children, but she also hoped to control Auston through him.

    And Ruan Ming said with some surprise, “I didn’t expect you to have such good skills. If you could have done this earlier, you wouldn’t have… However, it’s good this way now. Keep it up.”

    After contacting him to build a relationship, Ruan Ming generously sent another planet to Ruan Tang, intending to please and win over this son.

    “Yes, Empress.”

    “Yes, Father.”

    No matter what the Empress and Ruan Ming said, Ruan Tang obediently agreed to everything. He accepted whatever they sent him, but he didn’t intend to be their pawn at all.

    This could be considered one of the benefits of being frank with Auston. Now that everything was said, Auston could handle even the biggest things, pushing Auston out to take the blame.

    With Auston protecting him, Ruan Tang was no longer afraid of the pressure from Ruan Ming and the Empress. If they asked him why he didn’t have children, he could completely blame it on Auston. Ruan Tang felt that he could completely and peacefully be a Sauce.

    After all, as a boss, Auston, who didn’t ask much of him, seemed much more reliable than the constantly pressuring Empress Ruan Ming…

    Compared to the uncertain future and hopeless life before marriage, Ruan Tang felt that he was too comfortable now.

    Auston didn’t come to Ruan Tang all day. Ruan Tang was alone, peacefully and quietly staying in his room, doing whatever he wanted, without having to worry anymore.

    He felt very happy and couldn’t help but think that this was almost the benefit of talking to Auston.

    After he knew that Auston was a normal person pretending to be crazy, he thought that Auston would not scare him anymore.

    Who knew, Ruan Tang had only been peaceful for one day, and in the middle of the night of the next day, he was awakened by someone touching and biting him again in a cat-sucking manner.

    He suddenly opened his eyes and recognized the strength and feeling in a daze. It was Auston…

    Okay, looking at this dark figure, Ruan Tang began to be unsure again. Maybe this Duke’s normalcy was intermittent.

    Even if they had talked it out, he would still have times when he was abnormal and sucked him like a cat.
