Bee and his servant stood up from the ground, and while protecting themselves from Yue, they ran out and went to where the guests were staying.
"Song, clean my room. Some dirty things have touched it."
Saying this, Yue went into the bathroom to take a bath. There was a bathtub from ancient times, made of wood.
Yue loosened the belt at his waist and took off his gown. While taking off his clothes, he stepped into the bathtub and drowned himself in the water.
The system appeared in the bathtub, and even Bunny was soaking himself in the water.
"This feeling is amazing, Boss. I feel like I'll fall asleep if I stay here any longer."
"Same, but we can't sleep in the bathtub. Who knows if we'd die from drowning and lack of oxygen."
"You're really wise, Boss. But did I tell you that?..."
Before Bunny could finish, the door slammed open. Even as it did, Yue didn't panic—he was still relaxed and glanced in the direction of the door as Hao stepped inside.
["That's what I was going to say, boss. It turned out that Ming wasn't poisoned—it's just that she was allergic to wheat. That's why she vomited blood after eating those dumplings."
"That bitch stole my dumplings. Of course karma came after her. But I'm happy she also couldn't eat those dumplings, just like me."
"But what is this emperor doing here? By looking at him, I'm sure it's still his second personality. That means his real personality hasn't returned yet."
"You guessed it right, Boss. It's still the second personality—but this one is very cruel and more psycho than the real one."]
When Hao came into the chamber after learning the truth—that Yue didn't actually poison Ming—he found Song cleaning the room.
When he asked where Yue was, Song told him the truth: he was taking a bath. That's why Hao barged into the bathroom, and Song couldn't stop him.
As Hao entered, he saw Yue soaking in the warm water, his body naked. Seeing that, Hao unbuckled his belt, took off his gown, and stepped toward Yue.
"Why did you take off your clothes, Your Majesty?" Yue asked.
["Boss, his intentions don't seem right. His eyes look like they'd pierce through your skin."
"Shut up. I can see that too."]
Yue sank deeper into the water. "You didn't answer my question, Your Majesty. What are you doing here, and why did you take off your clothes?"
"Can't you see? I want to take a bath."
"Is your bathroom not working? Why are you here when I'm already taking a bath? There's not even any space left for you."
Yue placed both hands on the edge of the bathtub to block the space so Hao couldn't come in, but Hao was more persistent than Yue expected.
He still stepped into the bathtub, made room for himself, and as he did, he suddenly grabbed Yue from under his arms. Then he sat down—taking Yue onto his lap.
Yue panicked as he ended up sitting on Hao's lap, because it hurt his pride to be sitting on another man's lap.
"What the hell are you doing? Who told you to come inside?"
Yue was about to get up from Hao's lap, but as he did, Hao wrapped his arms around Yue's stomach and pulled him back down.
With Hao's strength, Yue couldn't move. He understood that Hao was showing off his strength in front of him again.
"Don't you feel ashamed, showing off your strength like this in front of me? What if I end up hitting you? Then don't blame me."
["Boss, please control your temper. He's still the emperor at the end of the day. You can't talk to him like this—at least show some sincerity for this arc. Even if you don't like it, you'll have to let him touch you, because that's how he'll fall for you."
"So if I let him touch me and do whatever he wants with me, is he gonna fall for me and listen to everything I say?"
"Yeah, I guess that can happen."]
Yue didn't move at all after hearing that. He just remained there, on Hao's lap, and even leaned his back against Hao's chest. He could smell something, but he didn't know what that scent was.
"You know, the way you behave in the human world—cats behave like this. They often scratch their own master, and then act cute again when they're hungry."
"Your Majesty, you seem to be wrong this time, because I'm not a cat who only scratches. I can bite too."
As those words left Yue's mouth, Hao suddenly hugged him from behind. And that hug was so tight, it felt like he was trying to melt into Yue's body or something.
"Ugh," Yue unintentionally let out a sound.
["What the hell—what kind of sound am I making right now?"
"Boss, that's a moan. Don't worry."]
Suddenly, Hao made Yue lean forward a little and pressed his lips to his neck, sniffing his scent—which smelled like jasmine. Then, Hao kissed Yue's neck, sending a shiver down Yue's spine.
"Your Majesty, you seem in a hurry. Why don't we take things slower?" Yue said.
While he stretched his hand back and touched Hao's head, he gently patted it to calm him down.
"You said you wanted to divorce me. That's all the more reason I need to hurry up and make you pregnant. That way, you can't get away from me."
["Pregnant? Do men also get pregnant here?"
"Yes, Boss. It's an omegaverse, that's why."
"From where do they give birth, then… Wait—I don't want to know."]
"Your Majesty, there's something I wanted to talk about. Will you let me go for a moment?"
Hao let go of Yue for a second, and taking advantage of that moment, Yue quickly moved away from Hao and sat on the other side of the bathtub.
He couldn't get out of the bathtub right now because he was completely naked.
And if Yue came out like that, who knows what Hao might do after seeing him naked—and he didn't want to take that risk, especially since he couldn't hit the emperor.
