Ch60 - Inexplicably turned on the ability to show affection (2/2)
She retrieved her gaze and moved a step back. “Today I came with my mother to visit the Empress. I didn’t expect to see the Royal Princess here.”

Princess Linhong has always been the Emperor’s most beloved Princess, and her title meant ‘sunshine after rain’.
Because this younger sister of his was born after he successfully ascended the throne, he always thought that his younger sister was his lucky star, so the Emperor favored his younger sister over his daughter.
Only, Wenren Hong was weak and timid in nature, and even if the Emperor loved him, his attitude had always been lukewarm. Although Wenren Hong was in awe of the Emperor deep in his heart, he was afraid to get closer because of his identity as a man. The Emperor had handed him over to another as soon as he reached fifteen in the hopes that this younger sister of his could find a sense of belonging earlier on. It was true that there was the intention of letting her act as a check and balance for the Zhenguo General’s Mansion, but what the Emperor wished for more, was for his sister to develop feelings with more people, and not always be so cold and indifferent.
Xue Ling nodded, and had no intention of replying.
Wenren Yingyue only felt a somewhat confusing sense of embarrassment. She wanted to say, could it be that this beautiful person did not enjoy talking? So she found another topic. “Today is the day that the Royal Princess returns to visit the family. Where is the General?”
Xue Ling glanced at her, and it was unknown what she was thinking. Her red lips parted as she replied, “Morning court.”
Wenren Yingyue’s facial expression was almost rigid, and she has been berating herself in her heart for being unable to converse; weren’t the words she chose purely just making just purposely making trouble? She was frustratedly bowed her head, and no longer spoke.

Xue Ling asked the system within his mind, “What’s wrong with the heroine?”
The system shook out its little tail, looking pleased with itself as it said, “She has a halo of mass attraction on her head. As long as it is a character from the plot, they will all fall in love with her.”
“So she’s looking at me with that kind of gaze because I didn’t show that I liked her?”
“Uh… Probably not.” The system spoke somewhat helplessly. “According to my psychological analysis of her, what she is thinking now is… Well, she wants to woo you, but can’t find a topic of conversation…”
Xue Ling: “… is this world’s heroine poisonous?”
The system coughed twice, after all, it was someone who had transmigrated from a modern society, and their way of thinking was always slightly more flexible. Besides, this was a female assassin. There was nothing bad about wanting to impress all the women and liking beautiful girls.
Xue Ling laughed sarcastically and said, “Beautiful what?”
The system chose to shut up and pretend that it was no longer online.
The two of them waited until the Empress summoned them inside. Because her status was not high, Wenren Yingyue had to wait outside for a while longer while Xue Ling was welcomed inside directly. Before he left, he could also feel the woman’s gaze at is it followed him, her expression full of reluctance.
The corner of Xue Ling’s mouth twitched as he asked the system, “Can you take away the halo of mass attraction that’s on her head?”
The system nodded and said, “Based on host’s current ability, there is no problem at all. But what do you want to do with it? Do you want to use it yourself?”
Xue Ling sneered. “You must be joking. I am a fox spirit. Do you understand the meaning of being bewitched by a fox?
System: “Ah.”
“Since ancient times, no one has ever disliked a fox spirit.” Charm was something that was ingrained in their bones and went deep into their marrow. Even if they didn’t use it, that charm would be on display between their every movement. In the previous worlds, Xue Ling’s spirit had been unstable, and it had been difficult to even take shape, so his charm had not come into play. Now that he had recovered two tails, and taking into account the fact that his control over these two tails was not strong, it was inevitable that a bit of charm would leak out in his every move and action.

It was much more effective and useful than that halo of mass attraction thing.
The Empress was very fond of Xue Ling. When she saw her, she first solicitously asked many questions about how she was doing before asking people to prepare all kinds of snacks for Xue Ling to pick from. Then, she asked about her and Zhan Shaoxi’s relationship, implicitly suggesting that Xue Ling should to learn to refuse in bed if she felt uncomfortable, to the point where two red clouds fluttered on to Xue Ling’s face, before finally letting her off.
When the Emperor finished morning court and summoned him, Xue Ling was half full from eating, and the sky was already bright. Xue Ling followed the Empress and entered the imperial study, performing an obeisance according to the original body owner’s habits.
The Empress laughingly said to the Emperor that his younger sister’s temperament had improved after her marriage, no longer liking to bow her head, and had even become more and more beautiful.
The Emperor did not put on airs in front of them, laughing scolding Zhan Shaoxi that he had really gotten the better end of the deal. Zhan Shaoxi replied with a stupid grin, and Xue Ling truly could not bear to look straight at him.
The man in this world still loved to be repressed as usual, but had inexplicably turned on the ability to show affection. Even if Xue Ling was not cooperating with him, he somehow always managed to still display it in front of others.
They stayed in the palace all morning and left before lunch. Xue Ling let out a relieved breath and felt that the system had been correct. He was really not suitable for an environment like the palace, having to show all kinds of restraint when replying to the Emperor.
