You are all bad women! Don't come over!

The Tianquan Star shone brightly at this moment.

Shen Mochen didn't show much surprise this time, holding Catherine's hand, "Can I trust you?"

Shen Mochen's tone was different from before, and Catherine also became serious, "What do you think?"

Facing the girl who would not hesitate to abandon her entire family for him, Shen Mochen felt there was no need for further doubts.

"So, come to my house tonight, there's no one else at home," Shen Mochen said earnestly.

"Hmm?" Catherine was taken aback, "Are you inviting me to spend the night with you? Let me make it clear beforehand, I am a devout follower of the Tianzheng Church, and according to our doctrine, we must not engage in any improper behavior before marriage. Moreover, I just came of age, isn't this a bit premature..."

"You devout what... and your face is too red, I really didn't mean that!" Shen Mochen hurriedly waved his hands, "I just want to tell you a secret, and it has to be tonight."

Watching Catherine's face blush, seeing her so uncharacteristically nervous, was really heart-fluttering... So you get nervous too.

Actually, it wouldn't be impossible... Shen Mochen couldn't help but think.

"Oh~ are you saying that my tender beauty doesn't catch your eye at all?" Catherine couldn't help grinding her teeth.

"Can you not be so tsundere, please? Of course, I'd 'like' to with you, but would you want to?" Shen Mochen was caught between laughter and tears.

Catherine stomped hard on Shen Mochen's instep, "Of course I wouldn't want to!"

Shen Mochen clutched his foot and screamed in pain, "You're stepping on me with high heels..."

"Isn't that your long-cherished wish? Don't you like it?"

"How could I possibly like this? I'm not a pervert!"

"But you seemed pretty happy when you were 'licking' my foot," Catherine teased.

"Don't distort history; I was kissing, not licking!"

Catherine crossed her arms in front of her chest, speaking indifferently, "It's the same thing. In any case, we're not in a relationship yet, so you'd best not harbor any inappropriate thoughts."

Shen Mochen was stunned, "Aren't we in a relationship?"

"Of course not. Let's get this straight: you haven't confessed, and I haven't really accepted," Catherine poked Shen Mochen's chest, "If I've given you any misunderstandings, then I apologize. But I want you to understand that we're just pretending to be a couple. You're an actor I've hired, and those ten thousand kisses are your compensation. Apart from that, you'd better not expect too much."

"What about that confession just now? Then let me confess again now..."

"You can, but before you confess, I have a question for you," Catherine interrupted Shen Mochen calmly, looking straight into his eyes, "Between me and Xia Qingrou, who do you love more?"

"I..."

Shen Mochen was suddenly speechless, opening his mouth but unable to utter a word.

The evening breeze grew colder, Catherine lightly gathered her hair, and her lips curled into an enigmatic smile, "Aren't you the best at lying? Make up something nice for me to hear."

Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it, Shen Mochen thought to himself.

He hesitated for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and stomping his foot, "You would surely spot a lie, so I want to tell the truth honestly. I like both of you very much, and I want both!"

"That's quite an honest statement," Catherine murmured appreciatively. Indeed, it was the truth, perhaps even the most honest thing he had ever said since she had known Shen Mochen.

The more truthful he was, the more uncontrollable the fierce light in Catherine's eyes became.

"You're lucky. If it were any other time and you dared say something like that, I would have killed you," Catherine smiled with a grin, her gaze sharp as a blade.

"Many thanks for Your Highness, the Princess's mercy..." Shen Mochen instantly cowered.

"Let's go," Catherine said coldly.

"Go where?" Shen Mochen didn't respond at first.

"To your place, didn't you say you have a secret to tell me?"

Shen Mochen looked into the void: "Miss Fuzi, are you there?"

Catherine spoke indifferently, "She's not here. I just tried calling her but got no response. It seems your superpower must have identified her as a threat and knocked her out indiscriminately."

"I'm awake," Fuzi appeared with a faint voice, looking at Shen Mochen with an extremely complex expression.

"Ah, my apologies," Shen Mochen said, scratching his head.

A blush of humiliation slowly appeared on Fuzi's face as she glared fiercely at Shen Mochen: "I was careless this time and didn't dodge. Don't think you can actually beat me!"

Shen Mochen suddenly grew curious, "May I ask, at your peak, who was stronger, you or Yin Caiyu?"

Fuzi glanced at Catherine and fell silent for a moment: "It's hard to compare... If I caught him off guard with a sneak attack, I should be able to win."

"A sneak attack... Can't you talk about martial virtue?"

"Considering she is in the top ten worldwide, I'd say it's quite an achievement that I could win even with a sneak attack!"

"Top ten, is that considered impressive?"

"Very impressive, representing the peak of all Transcendents. You could even say she's the world's number one, as none of those peak Transcendents have ever fought her," Fuzi said, shrugging her shoulders, "Of course, everyone's strength is temporary. Even the most formidable Transcendent will eventually become as weak as a mere mortal."

Shen Mochen lowered his eyes and fell silent.

Shen Mochen and Catherine took a taxi back to his residential area, with Fuzi still lurking in the shadows for protection.

But strangely, tonight the neighborhood was eerily silent, not a sound to be heard. It wasn't too late yet, but not a single house had lights on.

After getting out of the taxi, Shen Mochen and Catherine exchanged glances, already prepared for what might come.

"Lieutenant Shen Mochen from the Buque Team 0819 of Yupi Country, hello," a middle-aged woman emerged from the darkness.

Shen Mochen had seen her before; she was the head of the Gaotang State Buque Team, General Yan.

"Hello, ma'am," Shen Mochen immediately straightened up and saluted.

General Yan smiled slightly and returned the salute.

She was quite satisfied with Shen Mochen's attitude; at the very least, he was no fool and knew propriety.

"You should know why I've come to find you," General Yan said, pointing to a car nearby, "Let's have a talk."
