Chapter 25
Inside the bedchamber.
Tian Chen soon waited for her.
After bathing and burning incense, the fully dressed Vice Admiral Gion (Momousagi) arrived.
Despite this woman not being young, her figure was extremely well-maintained.
Every feminine asset she possessed was top-tier. Mature and alluring, full and juicy.
"Have you regretted it?"
Tian Chen asked with a faint smile.
Suddenly asked, Momousagi felt a slight panic in her heart.
Normally in Marine Headquarters, she spoke openly and boldly, but when facing Tian Chen, at this moment she always felt an invisible aura pressing down on her.
"Uh… regret? No, I don't regret it. It's just… this is my first time doing this kind of transaction, so I can't help feeling a little scared."
Momousagi forced herself to appear calm as she spoke.
Tian Chen's eyes lit up slightly.
'First time'?
He then began to examine Momousagi's figure more closely.
Nice… Momousagi was actually still a virgin.
She really hadn't disappointed him.
If it hadn't been her first time… Tian Chen felt it would have been somewhat unacceptable!
"Heh heh, what's there to be afraid of?" "After today, you will be this Emperor's woman."
Tian Chen teleported in front of Momousagi, wrapped his arm around her waist, and carried her onto the wide dragon bed.
Momousagi felt for the first time her heartbeat racing so fast.
But in this rapid beating… there was an uncontrollable sense of excitement.
So much so that… she began to look forward very much to what was about to happen next.
Confused, she wondered… Why was she having this kind of reaction in her heart?
In the past, when using beauty traps to lure pirates and criminals into traps, she had never felt anything toward those men.
But now, toward Tian Chen the Great Emperor… she was filled with anticipation.
Although there was some fear and nervousness, the majority was excitement and longing.
She even couldn't help wanting to be pampered and loved by Tian Chen the Great Emperor.
Could it be because Tian Chen the Great Emperor was very handsome?
This…
Tian Chen the Great Emperor really was very handsome.
After seeing him once, it was hard to forget his majestic face.
Or perhaps… because Tian Chen the Great Emperor was very strong, possessing the charm of a powerhouse?
There seemed to be an element of that as well.
Tian Chen the Great Emperor really was strong enough to make anyone admire him.
A man like this… possessing these two important points… honestly, as a woman, it was truly hard to resist.
...
One day later.
Momousagi was already lying soft and powerless in Tian Chen's arms.
She had personally experienced the terrifying extent of Tian Chen's prowess.
It really was frightening.
But the more terrifying it was… the more she couldn't help becoming infatuated and falling in love with Tian Chen.
Now she was just too embarrassed to say it out loud.
After all, this had started as a transaction with Tian Chen. Where was there any talk of feelings?!
In the future… perhaps after today, there might not even be another chance to interact.
On the other hand, after being satisfied, Tian Chen was prepared to take responsibility toward Momousagi.
At the very least, this battle had let Momousagi see first blood.
Just based on this point alone, a strong sense of responsibility had already arisen in Tian Chen's heart.
"Gion, are you willing to become this Emperor's concubine?"
Tian Chen asked while looking at Momousagi.
The status of concubine, however, was below that of beloved concubine.
Momousagi's heart jolted violently.
Suddenly… she really wanted to!
But when she thought of her current position as Vice Admiral of Marine Headquarters— and how Marine Headquarters was still in opposition to Tian Chen— Momousagi couldn't help but hesitate.
Tian Chen could see what Momousagi was hesitating about.
But during their intimate exchange earlier, Momousagi had not been this conflicted at all.
She had been truly very impressive.
"Actually, you don't need to think too much about it. Just answer this Emperor: do you want to become this Emperor's concubine or not?"
Facing the suddenly dominant Tian Chen, Momousagi did not feel angry. Instead, her heart warmed.
Unable to resist—and not wanting to resist—she spoke her true feelings:
"Of course I want to!"
"I've already given you the most important thing!" "How could I… not… like you?"
Tian Chen's lips curved into a slight smile.
"Since that's the case…" "Among this Emperor's three thousand harem beauties, this Emperor will reserve a place for you."
"As long as you come, you will always be one of this Emperor's harem concubines."
At this moment, Momousagi's heartbeat accelerated.
She hadn't expected… that she would gain an official status so soon?
However… she was only one among three thousand harem beauties.
As expected, an emperor always planned for three thousand harem beauties!
Although Momousagi felt a little bothered by it… looking at the extraordinary charm of Tian Chen the Great Emperor, she understood that one person alone couldn't hold him.
Momousagi simply accepted it more openly. Her state of mind gradually broadened.
"Then… alright then!"
"But my current position outside will still be Vice Admiral of Marine Headquarters." "Inside… I will be your concubine." "If… if you need me, I will come to serve you. Is that okay?"
Momousagi said with a flushed face, not daring to keep looking into Tian Chen's eyes.
"Hm, that works too."
Tian Chen smiled with pleasure.
Next… while there was still time, the two continued their exchange for a while.
Not long after… Momousagi left Celestial Palace in a very good mood.
Chaton, who had been waiting outside on Sabaody Archipelago, saw Momousagi only emerge from Celestial Palace after an entire night had passed.
His face immediately darkened with displeasure.
"Vice Admiral Momousagi, why did you only come out now?"
Chaton asked in a deep voice.
Momousagi furrowed her delicate brows and glanced at Vice Admiral Chaton.
"Hmph, when I come out is none of your business!"
Chaton was stunned.
What was going on?
Why had Momousagi's attitude toward him become even colder and more rejecting?
Damn Tian Chen the Great Emperor… what exactly had he done to Momousagi?
Chaton tried his best to speak calmly to Momousagi.
"Momousagi, you spent an entire night in Celestial Palace—how is that not my business?" "You know I've liked you for a very long time." "If you were bullied inside by Tian Chen the Great Emperor…" "I… I would definitely be heartbroken beyond words."
...
Momousagi felt very speechless and began to lose patience with Chaton.
"Heh heh… you're overthinking it." "He didn't bully me. We just… discussed a project."
Thinking back to what she had done with Tian Chen… Momousagi's cheeks couldn't help but flush slightly.
She felt Tian Chen was very talented and humorous— he had actually referred to their intimate exchange as "discussing a multi-billion project."
"Discussed a project?"
"What kind of project takes an entire night?"
Chaton asked in a low, confused voice.
But noticing the successive changes on Momousagi's face when she spoke of Tian Chen the Great Emperor… Chaton felt even more that something was wrong.
Why did Momousagi's complexion today look so different from before?
It was like a flower… that had just been watered and nourished, now blooming more radiantly than ever.
Thinking of this… Chaton felt a sudden, sharp pain in his heart.
Too painful!
Hiss!
His heart was trembling.
Could it be that Momousagi and Tian Chen the Great Emperor… had already…?
Ah!
So infuriating!
Chaton didn't dare think deeper into the terrifying possibility.
He was afraid that if he said it out loud… he would lose even the chance to confess to Momousagi in the future.
Chaton steadied his emotions. Forcing a fawning smile onto his face, he apologized:
"I'm sorry, Gion!" "I was too emotional!" "But you have to understand—I was just too worried about you."
"Alright, I understand!"
Momousagi became even more impatient.
"In short, I'm fine. I'm very good right now." "Also… stop confessing to me all the time!" "It's impossible between us!" "Moreover… I already have someone I like in my heart now." "I don't want any misunderstandings to make him unhappy!"
Momousagi left these few warnings and walked away without paying him any more attention.
Chaton, however, stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning.
The entire person was dumbfounded!
She already had someone she liked? Afraid of making him unhappy? Don't confess anymore? Impossible between us?
Damn it!
Chaton's rage instantly exploded.
Momousagi had only spent one night in Celestial Palace, and her attitude toward him had completely changed.
That beast Tian Chen the Great Emperor… really went too far!
He stole my woman! I'm irreconcilable with you!
Unable to understand, Chaton suddenly ran toward the golden staircase of Celestial Palace, cursing loudly as he went!
"Tian Chen the Great Emperor, you beast! Get out here!" "Damn it! Stealing what belongs to others—I'm going to kill you!"
What greeted him… was the encirclement of a large squad of guards.
A battle was about to break out.
