And it was… a one-sided alliance!

Huang Wuji touched his nose, the usually aloof Crown Prince showing a hint of unease.
“Well… those were things from our youth. Who would have thought he would take it seriously…”
The more Wang Jinbao listened, the more jealous and uncomfortable he felt. His lips were almost trembling with anger.
“You went to his coming-of-age ceremony, why did you drink so much? Why did you go into his chambers? Why did you go into his bed… his bed! Waaaah! You shameless bastard! How could you go into someone else’s bed! It makes me so mad, so mad!!!”
Wang Jinbao continued to stroke his belly, fearing that he might agitate his pregnancy. But according to Huang Wuji, that “Muse” of a prince was just a victim, making it difficult for Wang Jinbao to direct his hatred towards him!
Huang Wuji sighed inwardly, thankful that he hadn’t mentioned that his drunkenness was due to the vexation caused by his unrequited love for Rong Ting. Otherwise, this little wife of his would surely tear him apart.
With a wry smile and a hand on his forehead, he wondered what to do.
The next day, a grand ceremony was held in the Third Galaxy to welcome the arrival of His Highness, the Muse of Beauty, the Seventeenth Prince from the Fourth Galaxy.
The major news media outlets were all over this, capturing the grand occasion!
Wang Jinbao followed behind Huang Wuji, squinting his eyes and carefully observing the legendary Muse, His Highness Lan Luo of the Four Galaxies. He truly lived up to his reputation as a beauty of the flourishing era!
Even in the role of a rival, his beauty couldn’t be ignored.
Dignified, elegant, aloof, and ethereal, this young man in his early twenties possessed a combination of noble qualities. With long ink-black hair, deep azure eyes, and a figure of pure jade, this man had the capital to be proud and aloof!
“Huang Wuji, I have arrived.”
Lan Luo took a few steps forward, raising his head to gaze straight at Huang Wuji, his pink lips curving into a captivating smile.
Wait, did he just ignore me?
Wang Jinbao pushed his pregnant belly forward, blocking Huang Wuji’s path, and smiled, saying, “Are you Lan Luo? I’m Wang Jinbao. Wuji has mentioned you to me.”
“Huang Wuji, I missed you. Why haven’t you come to the Fourth Galaxy since you said you wanted to marry me?” Muse seemed completely unaware of Wang Jinbao’s presence, stepping aside from him and taking Huang Wuji’s hand affectionately.
Wang Jinbao: “…” He was definitely being ignored.
But… did he just hear something? Marry him? Huang Wuji never mentioned this to him!
Under Wang Jinbao’s questioning gaze, Huang Wuji silently turned his head away.
That damn ghost, keeping it a secret from him?
Wang Jinbao simmered with anger, his eyes returning to Lan Luo, attempting to kill him with his gaze.
However, as he stared for a long time, he unexpectedly… became infatuated with this Lan Luo and his exquisite beauty?!
What a wicked enchantment!
“Huang Wuji, don’t stay silent. I came here this time to marry you.”
Lan Luo pressed closer with every step, unwavering in his words. He was actually proposing directly in front of numerous media outlets, forcing a marriage!
“Lan Luo’s Peerless Beauty Overwhelms Prince Consort”
“Lan Lou’s Unrivaled Beauty Gains Countless Fans”
“Powerless Prince Consort Fails Against Beauty”
“Former Lover: Muse of Beauty, Newlywed Wife in Tatters, How Will the Crown Prince Choose?”
“…”
Countless interstellar news headlines flooded in, but nine out of ten were praising Lan Luo and belittling Wang Jinbao. The one remaining headline was planted by Wang Jinbao, using money to hire a water army.
However… a weak arm can’t twist a strong thigh.
“Muse of Beauty,” “His Highness Muse,” and “Princess Consort of the Earthy Turtle” all made it to the top three trending spots the following day.
*************
Chapter 20: Mecha Competition? I’m Signing Up!
“I’ve heard that the Emperor Star possesses the strongest mecha power among the Four Galaxies. Today, I would like to witness it for myself. I only seek a friendly competition and hope for Your Majesty’s permission.”
Lan Luo smiled faintly, exuding an ethereal temperament. With a flick of his wrist, he activated a spatial button, and a cloud-white beam emerged, landing on the ground and swiftly transforming into an exceptionally elegant cloud-patterned mecha.
“This is my mecha called ‘Flowing Cloud.’ It enjoys challenging strong opponents.”
This wasn’t a request; it was clearly a forced challenge!
Lan Luo was too arrogant.
Wang Jinbao could see it, so how could Huang Wuji and the others not?
Emperor Ming Sen smiled kindly, but there was already a chill in his eyes.
To barge in uninvited was already disrespectful to the Third Galaxy.
He didn’t pay it any mind; instead, he treated Lan Luo with courtesy, welcoming him with grandeur and giving the Fourth Galaxy enough face.
But now it seemed that the Fourth Galaxy didn’t want this face.
“Since His Highness Lan Luo is so willing, we should not hold back the strength of the Third Galaxy. Wuji, let’s open the Emperor Star’s first mecha arena in advance. Anyone under the age of twenty-three, regardless of their galaxy, can participate… As for the event rewards, this time, we’ll multiply them by ten.”
The Emperor, influenced by the provocation, increased the rewards tenfold. The young talents of the Emperor Star would surely give their all to compete for the tenfold prize in this first event!
Huang Wuji was determined to teach Lan Luo, who was “ignorant and disrespectful,” a lesson.
The Third Galaxy had never been quiet since Wang Jinbao arrived.
This time, it exploded because of the Muse of Beauty.
The Emperor Star’s first mecha arena was held every three years, with incredibly generous rewards. Its fair, just, and transparent rules, along with the substantial rewards for different rankings, were highly anticipated by the youth of the Four Galaxies.
Those who achieved a ranking in the Emperor Star’s first mecha arena would undoubtedly achieve great things when they returned to their respective galaxies.
This first mecha competition could undoubtedly be counted among the top ten major events of the Four Galaxies.
“I want to sign up.”
Wang Jinbao sat on the bed, with his feet resting on Huang Wuji’s thigh, swinging them back and forth.
“You’re still pregnant, why sign up? It was already dangerous when you secretly battled with mechas last time. Don’t show off this time. Be a good boy.”
“Without participating, I won’t earn any credits. Without credits, I can’t graduate. If I can’t graduate, I can’t marry you… I must participate,” Wang Jinbao reasoned.
“…Silly child… If you need credits, I can just adjust them for you. There’s no need to go and fight others,” Huang Wuji said unabashedly about manipulating credits. The more Wang Jinbao looked at his man, the more handsome he seemed. Leaning forward, Wang Jinbao approached and left a shiny drop of saliva on his face with a “plop.”
“My dear, trust me, I can do it. Besides, I can control the fight from a distance without getting into a mecha. So, you don’t have to worry about me getting hurt.”
“What? Remote… control?!”
How could that be possible?
The operation of mechas relied on the mental power of the mecha pilot. Only by being inside the mecha could one maximize the use of mental power and perform precise control.
Controlling a mecha from outside was unheard of.
“No!” Huang Wuji sternly refused.
Wang Jinbao felt a little wronged, pouting unhappily with his eyes narrowed. “Why?”
Huang Wuji gently hugged Wang Jinbao tightly and explained, “Your fighting method is too extraordinary. Once it appears on the battlefield, it will undoubtedly cause a huge sensation. While one person remotely controlling a mecha may not be a big deal, applying such combat power on the interstellar battlefield… You can’t imagine what that means. By then, you will become the target of the Four Galaxies’ full attention. Can you protect our child in that situation? Although it may sound cowardly for a crown prince like me to say this, once the other three galaxies join forces, the Third Galaxy won’t be able to bear it. I… I’m afraid I won’t be able to protect you.”
Tears welled up in Wang Jinbao’s eyes as he blinked and smiled radiantly. “Wuji… I think I love you.”
