506 Cao Cao and Te Langpu’s Suspicious Move (2/2)
”I'm going to report this to my mothers,” Liu Xie grumbled as he operated his clan menu to send a private message to Dong Bai and Diaochan.
”Please wait, your highness,” Liu Ye grabbed Liu Xie's hand.
”What?”
”Please listen to me. Say, why don't you pretend to be their puppet?”
”ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!?” Taishi Ci, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Ji, and Liu Xie glared at Liu Ye as if they were ready to kill this strategist.
Liu Ye shrunk back in fear, but he mustered his courage and expressed his insight, ”I think Cao Cao and Guo Jia are giving you one last chance before they usurp the throne!”
”WHAT!?” Everyone froze.
”You see, we have just learned that Dian Wei has 6 wings, and many of Cao Cao's men have 4-wing cultivation. Don't you think that he also has enough manpower to defeat his majesty's subordinates?”
”… But we have my mothers.”
”Please don't forget about the variable, Lilim.”
”!!!”
Liu Xie and everyone's face turned solemn when they heard of Lilim's name. All their killing intent toward Liu Ye ceased as they continued to listen to his advice.
Liu Ye continued, ”I'm afraid that Lilim can hear and see everything that we do, and she is definitely not a fool. Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Te Langpu should also be thinking the same, so they are making a decision if they should continue to serve his majesty or switch sides to Lilim!”
”T-This…”
”I think they are probing you if they can use you. If they can't, they will cooperate with Lilim in secret and backstab his majesty during the critical time.”
”But that is just a theory. We can't assume that they will use this move without proof.”

As Liu Ye was giving Liu Xie his advice, someone sent Liu Xie a private message.
Zhuge Liang: ”Your highness. By any chance that Cao Cao or Te Langpu attempt to talk about the next election, let them use you.”
Zhuge Liang: ”I just had a conversation with Jia Xu, Ju Shou, and Xun Yu. All of them including me received Cao Cao's invitation to join his private group chat between strategists, and he mentioned the election. I suspect that he's testing the water to see who he can use.”
Zhuge Liang: ”I assume that he's plotting to use the next year's election to replace his majesty with you. For now, play along with his scheme if he contacts you. Or else, Cao Cao is likely to switch sides and join forces with Lilim behind our back!”
Zhuge Liang: ”This clan level 3 and perks are suspicious! I doubt that Lilim must have already poached many of our officers in advance, and she is allowing them to communicate in private with this feature! Please be careful, your highness!”
Liu Xie had a chill running down his spine when the legendary strategist, Zhuge Liang, gave him the same advice that Liu Ye was telling him.
While Liu Xie was astonished by Zhuge Liang's warning, Liu Ye continued, ”I suspect that Lilim might have upgraded our clan to level 3 on purpose, so moles inside our forces can communicate without being detected. I think some of our men have already been bought to the other side.”
”…”
Liu Xie's face changed from red to white as his anger turned into fear. He wanted to protect Tong's kingdom, but the pressure was overwhelming his decision.
With trembling hands, he slowly typed and replied to Cao Cao's group.
Liu Xie: ”I understand. Tell me what you're planning.”
Liu Xie accepted Zhuge Liang and Liu Ye's advice!

=Meanwhile, in another dimension=
If anyone got near the courtyard on the top of this mountain plateau, they would be able to hear the lewd conversation and sultry noise from the sole building around here.
”Lust Curse!”
”Hahaha! It won't work. I have stronger cultivation. I'm immune to all of your curses.”
”Are you sure? Why is it so wet down here?”
”S-Shut up! Hey! I haven't told you to insert it yet-A-Ahhhh! It's too big!? Why is it getting bigger inside!? Ah! Don't move!”
”Lilim. Trust me. Let the lust curse take effect. It will be more fun. If you don't allow it, it will get dull over time. We have 10 years to work on, remember?”
”Ahhhh! Wait! I haven't-Ahhh!”
”If you resist, it will hurt. Come on, let the curse run its course. It will only increase your sensitivity and make it enjoyable.”
”Ahh! O-Okay-Ahh! Be gentle!”
”Of course. Lust Curse!”
”Ugh…Hmm? Eh? AHHHH!! AIE! WAIT! THIS ISN'T ONLY A BIT-AHHH!!”
”You resisted some of the curses, so the effect is only 2 to 5 times the usual. Don't resist, my dear. Let it run wild. If you do, you'll forget about the 10 years' time. Actually, you might want to extend it, Hehehe. Lust Curse!”
”Hieeee!! AHHHH!! OH-WOW! AHHH!! MORE!!”
”That's right. Let it sink in, and-”
”Lust Curse!”
”Wait! Don't use it on me-Oh shit!”
”AHAHAHA! GIVE ME MORE!!”
…
The under-the-belly war went on with their sanity on the line.
