Chapter 65: Just Let You Be the Second Wife

Gu Tang was in his room at the hotel, getting ready to sleep.

Knock, knock, knock.

There was a knock on the door.

He opened it to find Bronya standing there with a gentle smile.

"Want to go for a walk with me?" Bronya invited.

"No."

Gu Tang coldly refused.

Then he was forcibly dragged out by Bronya.

-------------------------------------

"Look, this is the high point of Rock Town. From here, you can see the entire town," Bronya introduced.

The two of them had come to the top of a building.

It was quite dark around them, with the night breeze blowing, bringing a bit of chill.

Gu Tang leaned against the railing, looking at this underground city.

It was already bedtime, so there were fewer people around, and a peaceful, leisurely atmosphere enveloped the city.

Unfortunately, this city couldn't touch the sunlight.

If the sun could rise from the horizon and bathe the entire city in golden light, it would be beautiful.

Gu Tang looked at the distant city, imagining it in his mind.

Bronya also leaned against the railing, but she wasn't looking at the city; she was looking at Gu Tang's calm profile.

"Back when I arrested him, I never thought there'd be a day like this…" Bronya's eyelashes trembled slightly as she let her thoughts drift.

Gu Tang happened to turn and look at her.

Bronya hastily looked away.

"So, are you really just here to enjoy the night breeze?" Gu Tang asked.

"…Tomorrow, I'm going to face Mother alone," Bronya said after a moment of silence.

"Are you serious?" Gu Tang raised an eyebrow.

"I can't bring you guys along; the entire city's Silvermane Guards would become your enemies," Bronya sighed.

With a complex tone, she continued, "Why did Mother hide those things from me? And why did she want me to capture outsiders who know the true nature of the Stellaron… I can't figure it out."

"So you're just going to ask her directly? That's quite a straightforward way of thinking," Gu Tang remarked.

Bronya glared at him. "Hmph, you must have rubbed off on me. You have to take responsibility."

"Hmm… I think Seele should share half the responsibility," Gu Tang pondered for a moment and said.

"What's it got to do with me?" Seele's irritated voice rang out.

"Huh?" Bronya turned around in surprise.

"Ah, darn, I've been discovered…" Seele awkwardly emerged from the shadows.

"Seele, what are you doing here?" Bronya asked.

Seele shrugged. "I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk. I happened to see you two heading out and thought I might catch something naughty…"

"Ugh, your mind is full of dirty thoughts," Bronya retorted, her face turning red.

"Anyway, Bronya, are you really going to face Cocolia alone?" Seele asked, changing the subject. "You know it's risky, right?"

"Yeah… I know. But whether as a daughter or a Silvermane Guard, I have to fulfill my duty to confront her directly," Bronya replied firmly. "And even if Mother has hidden many things… I believe she loves me. I'm certain of that."

"Although love doesn't always lead to good outcomes," Gu Tang said, suddenly recalling something.

"And I have a good plan." Bronya raised her index finger.

Seele, seeing Bronya's enthusiastic expression, could only sigh.

When Gu Tang talked about his "good plans," it was always like this too.

"I know you Trailblazers are troubled by not knowing the exact location of the Stellaron, right?" Bronya said to Gu Tang. "I'll try to get Mother to reveal its location."

Gu Tang nodded thoughtfully. "You might be right. The person most likely to know where the Stellaron is… is Cocolia. And the person most likely to get that information out of her…"

"Is me." Bronya patted her chest. "But there's more. After I get the information, I'll find a way to lure Mother out of the city. Then we can all work together to subdue her. This way, we won't have to face the entire Silvermane Guard, just her personal guards."

"You're a genius," Gu Tang praised.

"Why are you planning a strategy to deal with your own mother?" Seele asked, a bit exasperated.

"As the next Supreme Guardian, I need to be proactive," Bronya said matter-of-factly.

Seele tilted her head. "One problem though… how will you stay in contact with us after you meet Cocolia? She won't let you keep your phone, and the Trailblazers are wanted criminals. I'm from the Underworld and can't easily appear in the Overworld either."

Bronya cheerfully patted Gu Tang. "That's where Gu Tang comes in."

At that moment, her innocent smile bore a striking resemblance to March 7th.

"I knew it…" Seele covered her face.

The latter part of the plan relied entirely on boldness, just like Gu Tang.

Because of this, the plan often took an unpredictable turn.

"Hmph, I'm omnipotent," Gu Tang said confidently.

He rummaged through his bag and pulled out a small glass bottle filled with capsules.

"What's this?" Bronya looked curiously at the bottle.

"Telepathy capsules. Take one, and you can establish a telepathic connection with someone else. Impressive, right? This is the highest form of communication; no signal jamming or interference works against it," Gu Tang said with a touch of pride.

Seele cautiously asked, "Is there a catch?"

Gu Tang shook his head. "No, but there is a requirement… the two people must trust each other completely for it to work."

"Oh, that's not a problem," Bronya said with a smile.

This statement implicitly confirmed her deep trust in Gu Tang.

Seele looked at Bronya in amazement. "You've become more straightforward, Bronya."

"I've had a revelation lately. With one problem after another, there's no need to dwell on emotional issues. Enjoying the present is the right approach," Bronya said, flipping her hair nonchalantly.

"You seem much more refreshed compared to the gloomy and conflicted person I first met," Gu Tang nodded in approval.

Bronya patted Seele's shoulder. "Don't worry, Seele. Once I become Gu Tang's main wife, I'll let you be the second wife."

*Cough* *Cough* "What did you say?" Seele almost choked, staring at Bronya in shock.

"This is too refreshing…" Even Gu Tang was taken aback.

Seele quickly urged, "Calm down, Bronya… Think about it. You're the next Supreme Guardian. How would it look if you joined a harem with other women?"

"Hmm… you have a point." Bronya nodded in contemplation.

Then, she flashed a cheerful smile. "Then I'll marry the both of you. Our life together will be fantastic, hahaha!"

At that moment, Bronya seemed so terrifying that even Gu Tang felt a chill.

He and Seele took a few steps back and whispered to each other.

"Gu Tang, Bronya seems to have gone off the deep end."

"Indeed, maybe today's revelations hit her too hard."

"How about we make a run for it? I'm getting a bit scared…"
