Liu Ruolan's words were neither hypocritical nor intended to please Mother Zhang. They came from the bottom of her heart.

As one of Zhang Bin's most valued and beloved women, Liu Ruolan had naturally heard some secrets from him. She also knew about the Genetically Enhanced Human disaster and other, even more terrifying calamities. It wouldn't be easy for Zhang Bin, or even the Earth itself, to survive them. Deeply in love with both Zhang Bin and the Earth, she naturally hoped he could quickly become stronger, overcome crisis after crisis, and help the nation and the planet do the same.

Therefore, she hoped Zhang Bin could win over any woman who could help him, making them his wholehearted supporters. She was vaguely aware that Zhang Bin was involved with several other women.

One was Tian Bingbing, who was not just a good friend of Liu Ruolan's but practically her best friend. She knew what a wonderful and beautiful woman Tian Bingbing was. With the help of a beauty like Tian Bingbing, they could select and train numerous Genius Disciples for the Taiqing Sect. Enhancing the Taiqing Sect's strength was crucial for Zhang Bin.

The second woman was Su Man, a business prodigy who was in no way inferior to Liu Ruolan, and even surpassed her in some respects. Her collaboration with Zhang Bin had turned the Qingshan Hotel Group into a super cash cow, amassing an ever-growing fortune. For Zhang Bin, the more wealth, the better, as purchasing Spiritual Medicine required a vast fortune. Consequently, she and Xiao Fang had discussed the matter carefully and both agreed that Zhang Bin should win over Su Man, turning her into one of their sisters. This would allow for better cooperation and help them earn even more money.

The third woman was likely Heavenly Queen Zhu Danyan. Liu Ruolan wasn't entirely clear about the purpose of Zhang Bin's trip to Yanjing. However, he had told her over the phone in the past few days that his business in Yanjing was complicated and related to the very survival of humankind. If he hadn't gone, or had been even a day late, the extinction of humanity would have been a real possibility.

She believed Zhang Bin and knew he wasn't lying. After all, she had seen his flying saucer and had even taken a ride in it, soaring through the skies. She naturally understood that the Earth wasn't as simple as she had once thought. The crisis had never truly ended. It was just that the Earth had many cultivators as powerful and miraculous as Zhang Bin, who silently resolved these threats. It was just like a country that appears peaceful and prosperous, but its leaders, soldiers, and police have paid a tremendous price behind the scenes.

Now that Zhang Bin had appeared by Zhu Danyan's side and was supporting her through Wenwu Pharma, she sensed that their relationship was somewhat intimate. If so, Zhu Danyan must be a good woman, not the kind rumored to have ambiguous relationships with many men. What secretly delighted her was that Zhu Danyan was not only a woman of peerless grace but also a superstar with countless fans. Having her become a sister and endorse their company's products would greatly smooth the development of Wenwu Pharma and accelerate the growth of the Star Interlanguage School.

She had counted on her fingers; although Zhang Bin was a miraculous cultivator, he wasn't promiscuous and didn't have a large number of female confidantes. There were just these few, with Liu Xin being the only other possibility. This made him countless times better than the average tycoon. After all, those wealthy tycoons had women numbering not just a few, but in the dozens, or even hundreds.

In fact, while Zhang Bin wasn't as noble as Liu Ruolan imagined, he had comprehended Heaven-Man Resonance. Although he appreciated beautiful women and entertained the idea of building a large harem, any woman he fell in love with was in accordance with Heaven's will. He wouldn't force such matters, and he wasn't promiscuous.

At the Masked Singing King competition, the votes for Zhu Danyan on the electronic screen were skyrocketing. The momentum was simply terrifying. When the voting deadline arrived, Zhu Danyan's vote count had reached an astronomical figure of over twenty million, nearly ten million more than the second-place contestant, Feng Banmei.

Undoubtedly, the title of Masked Singing King belonged to Zhu Danyan.

The live audience and those watching on television erupted into a frenzy.

"Singing King! Singing King! Our Empress is the Singing King!"

"Empress, I love you…"

"Empress, you're so beautiful, and you sing so well…"

"..."

Feng Banmei's face showed a hint of disappointment, but she felt no sense of loss. She had, after all, done her best. Besides, she hadn't truly lost anything. She wasn't ruined by Lv Yuze, nor was she forced to be his mistress for three years. After all, Lv Yuze had become a eunuch of the new era, incapable of harming any beautiful female star ever again.

However, Lv Yuze was seething with fury. His face turned ashen, and his eyes blazed with angry flames. His plan had been for Feng Banmei to replace Zhu Danyan. The first step was to have Feng Banmei win the Singing King competition, which would have made his future actions much simpler. But now, things had slipped from his control. Zhu Danyan had won the competition and claimed the title of Singing King.

Dethroning Zhu Danyan from her Empress throne anytime soon would now be difficult. Blacklisting her in the future would also be tough. No, no, it wasn't just tough; it would require a long and protracted effort.

"Hahaha… Look, that ball-less idiot is throwing a tantrum!" Ma Ruyan suddenly cackled.

"Yeah, yeah, he's really losing it. Ooh, I'm so scared," Chen Chaoyue added with a similar cackle.

"A cooked duck flew away right from under his nose. How could he not be angry?" Zhang Haijun chimed in, also cackling.

"Now, now, stop mocking him, lest he blows a gasket and hurts someone," Zhao Dawei said sarcastically. "I'm just telling you, our Special Action Team can only protect you within Capital City. You'll have to be careful not to get attacked by him once you leave."

"Hahaha…"

With that, they all burst out laughing and flipped off the fuming Lv Yuze.

Mi Yiyao giggled, her mood better than ever. She realized for the first time that Zhang Bin's friends, though a bit like jerks, were actually quite endearing and had a knack for getting under people's skin. Most importantly, Zhao Dawei had an astonishing background. As the leader of the Special Action Team, his support for Zhang Bin meant Lv Yuze wouldn't dare cause trouble in Yanjing. Even she no longer needed to worry about Lv Yuze retaliating with physical violence.

Lv Yuze was so furious he felt he was going insane. His lungs were about to explode, his teeth threatened to shatter, and flames shot from his eyes as he glared daggers at Zhao Dawei's group. Using a voice transmission technique, he sent a chilling, sneering message directly to them: "Don't get too pleased with yourselves. So what if Zhu Danyan took first place? From now on, she won't get a single role in any movie or TV series. Is an Empress who can't show her face still an Empress? Sooner or later, she'll be toppled!"
