Chapter 506: The Mindset of the Emperor Has Undergone Some Changes
Humans are social creatures.
Communication is an instinct woven into their very nature.
Whether someone is human or not, as long as they are an intelligent being, they feel the urge to connect with others.
If someone cannot communicate, there are only two possibilities: either they are mentally impaired, or they are dead.
Human emotions, too, are contagious.
When one person succumbs to negativity, it ripples out to others, just like how a single yawn inspires a chain of yawns—or how the sight of someone scratching their arm can instinctively prompt another to scratch theirs.
Bai Wei rarely shows his emotions outwardly.
Even when he’s unhappy, he carefully restrains himself, refusing to unleash anger on those around him.
This is his personal moral code: to greet his loved ones with a smile, no matter his inner turmoil.
So, he doesn’t often resort to using force. But when he does, it’s devastating.
After all, how composed can a person be who can skin a tiger barehanded?
Yet now, Bai Wei must hold it all in.
Is Chao Lu a good girl?
One could say yes.
She has a deep sense of responsibility to her family and country.
Despite the chance to enjoy a comfortable life in Europa, she chose to return to her homeland—to live and die alongside her loved ones.
Her loyalty to friends and her efforts to care for them are evident, as seen in her bond with Michelle.
She rarely preys on the weak, unless she faces an existential threat.
To know humility when weak and practice restraint when strong—these are rare virtues.
What about Nalan Qingshu? Is she a good girl?
Again, one could say yes.
She fulfills her parents’ expectations and upholds the responsibilities placed upon her.
Despite her burdens, she maintains a relatively positive outlook, where many might have crumbled.
Her maturity rivals that of an adult.
Her openness and trust in collaborators make her a reliable ally, bringing peace of mind to those who work with her.
Finally, Yan Yubing—how does she fare?
Simple-minded yet tenacious.
Her advantages lie in her appetite for life, and her disadvantage is… well, also her appetite.
She isn’t fussy: whether it’s a feast or plain soup, she adapts. In this regard, she’s easy to care for.
But then, why is it that, when you put three “good girls” together, chaos ensues?
Bai Wei placed a hand to his forehead, sighing as his head began to throb.
It had only been two days since leaving Longyao City, yet his patience was already wearing thin.
Managing multiple women simultaneously was never his strong suit.
Reflecting on past experiences, Bai Wei realized the differences in dynamics.
In Yingzhou, women like Yagyū Simozi and Saki Jingūji were graceful and tactful. Though gentle on the surface, they had inner resilience. Yet they never vied openly for attention or clashed. Even when tensions arose, they were swiftly resolved with high emotional intelligence.
In Europa, relationships leaned more toward one-on-one mentorship. Alena and Michelle required different approaches, but their interactions lacked the chaos of larger group dynamics.
However, the current situation was entirely different.
Every effort Bai Wei made seemed to backfire.
A simple conversation with Nalan Qingshu left Chao Lu feeling excluded.
Choosing food sparked disagreement: spicy dishes for Nalan, bland options for the little snake girl.
Even the extra care Bai Wei extended to Chao Lu sparked resentment in the others, who demanded equal attention.
Nothing Bai Wei did was enough. Sitting silently even made the atmosphere heavier.
This scenario reminded Bai Wei of his time with Black Rose, a witches’ organization rife with internal conflict.
Every position was hotly contested, especially those closest to him. Proposals for role rotations often vanished mysteriously, and maids fiercely defended their posts.
The witches’ admiration for the Emperor came with possessiveness. Their respect bordered on obsession, creating a volatile environment.
Reflecting on the past and his current predicament, Bai Wei reached a new conclusion:
“As long as I accept my failures, I am invincible!”
With this revelation, Bai Wei resolved to let go of control.
It was time to retreat, to let the chaos run its course.
“Let the show begin. Whoever wants this throne of turmoil can take it!”
