anwhile, Sharky returned back to the plaza. He then finally found a chance to chat with Natasha. They shared stories of things that had happened since that night. He finally sighed in relief when he heard that she wasn’t actually in any danger.
Since there were many pairs of eyes watching, the two couldn’t really say too much to each other. After talking for a bit, they separated for the ti being.
Once he returned to the Snake race’s territory, Diana frowned and asked, "Where did you run off to just now? Huh? Why is there such a girly sll on you? Did you go sowhere to cheat again?"
Charlotte also looked at Sharky expressionlessly.
Sharky was speechless. Does this woman have the nose of a damn dog?!
Alina said with a smile, "I actually feel that this sll is actually quite good, and it is also extrely special. I seem to have slled it sowhere before..."
The three won all reacted at the sa ti.
"The Second Empress!"
After all, the Second Empress had passed by their group back by the palace gate.
Sharky gestured for them to be quiet, hissing, "Do you all want dead or sothing?!"
Only then did he give them a rough account of what had just happened, except hiding the fact that he played with her many tis deeply.
When they learned that the two hadn’t had the type of private eting they envisioned, their expressions beca a bit better.
But they didn’t know that it was the sa ti of the private eting as they thought.
Diana even remarked, "What are you still hesitating over, then? This is such a great opportunity. Just go already!"
"That is far too dangerous, though. The Imperial Tomb is full of killing intent, and no one knows what the situation inside is like. And what is the truth behind the so-called Fiend Emperors’ heroic spirits?" Charlotte replied, shaking her head.
"Furthermore, the succession ceremony is such a huge event; there is no way the Fiend Emperor would not get involved. At that point, if you really did sothing to the Golden Crow Crown Prince, even if you could escape from the Imperial Tomb, you would still end up suffering from the Fiend Emperor’s pursuit. And the Snake and Elf races also implicate."
Afterall, even though she was still in conflict with openly accepting Sharky, since he was her disciple’s husband.
But still, whenever he wants, she never stopped him from doing it with her. And most of the ti, her rival is also together with her, sharing the sa bed.
So, of course she is worried about him. Who knows, in future, if she got pregnant, she didn’t want to. Any trouble ca to the father of her child.
Alina frowned. Even though she didn’t like living in the fiend race territories that much, she didn’t wish for the Snake race to be destroyed because of her.
Diana rolled her eyes and replied, "Stone cold woman, are you an idiot? We’re just going in, so why do we have to ss with the crown prince and get involved in the succession fight? Can’t we just borrow the token and clothes the Second Empress provided to head inside, and leave it at that?"
Charlotte was stupefied. She couldn’t even be bothered to pay attention to the insult. She slowly replied, "That kind of thing is... possible?"
Alina gave Diana a strange look. The Devil Sect really plays by all ans, both fair and foul. This really is... shaless.
Still, she approved of that approach, because it was definitely the most suitable thod.
"Why are you all looking at like this?" Diana asked a bit unhappily. "Did you all have childhoods that were a bit too sheltered or sothing? Isn’t this the choice that makes the most sense?"
"I’m sure the Second Empress doesn’t intend for Sharky to beco so kind of ’imperial subject’, and will just silence him as her first objective afterward. She might even use him to calm the hearts of the crown prince’s faction later."
Sharky couldn’t help but sigh with praise, saying, "Big sis Diana, you really are the most realistic and sober one of us all..."
But he didn’t tell her that the Second Empress didn’t dare to do it. Afterall, he is not only going to beco her Imperial subject. But, he is going to beco her Emperor.
Moreover, he had already taught her how to be a good empress, and obediently spread her legs and served him, till he was satisfied.
Moreover, he was thinking of a big plan. And if it succeeded. Then, he would then stop thinking about all of the small sches.
And then, he would show the Emperor. That, he would do, as he said.
But for now, he agreed with Diana, since he can’t tell anyone his plan for now. Not that, Second Empress is already his.
Now that Diana had offered such analysis, they imdiately realized that she had described the most likely possibility.
Alina nodded and said, "Indeed. In that case, we can’t let her use us. We should exploit her first."
Sharky nodded with her, but he had already thought of if possible, he would kill the Golden Crow Crown Prince.
Because, if he rises, then there will be many troubles, first Snake Tribe, and then Elf, followed by Second Empress. And most importantly, his plan will be shattered.

When they returned to the Snake race’s courtyard, they all tried to get as much rest as they could.
At first, Sharky wanted to keep Alina from heading inside to provide support, because the Imperial Tomb was too dangerous.
To his surprise, however, she refused that role no matter what, saying that a husband and wife had to stick together. She wasn’t willing to stay in a safe place while her man would have to face danger. Sharky couldn’t convince her otherwise and could only agree.
When she saw the two going back and forth like that, Charlotte left with an emotionless expression. Diana was also quite unhappy after being forced to watch the public display of affection. She muttered complaints and left too. Afterall, she is also his lover, so why can’t he show affection to her?
The Imperial Tomb would only open up right before the Golden Crow Crown Prince entered. If Sharky went over imdiately, even if he had the token, he would be seen as suspicious. As such, they all returned to their own rooms to get so rest in preparation for the next day’s adventure.
Alina went with Soni to arrange for external support after they were finished. She also left instructions on what to do if she never ca back, and what to do with the Snake race and Frost clan. Soni ended up being overco with tears.
anwhile, Sharky returned to his room. He was also ready to complete this most dangerous plan.
He was going to enter the Imperial Tomb tomorrow. And he needs to make everything perfect.
---
A night passed just like that. The next day, Sharky t the three won. They all had frowns on their faces.
There’s a different sll on him. Did he secretly seek out Alina last night? Even though Charlotte knew that the two were lovers, and that it was normal even if they did sothing, her mood was still strange.
Diana cursed, "You damn brat, what are you using all of your strength before a great battle for? Utter nonsense." If she hadn’t been worried about Alina’s feelings, she would have already showered Sharky with curses.
Alina was also confused. She knew that Sharky hadn’t been with her last night. Just who had he been with, for him to have that kind of sll on him? Diana or Charlotte?
The three of them all beca suspicious. The mood was bizarre. However, Sharky just assud they were all a bit nervous before the great battle and didn’t think too much about it.
---
They moved closer to the Imperial Tomb, where all sorts of races had gathered for a long and complicated procedure with a litany of rituals.
The main idea was that the representatives would praise the crown prince for his integrity and talent, and affirm that he was going to beco the next Fiend Emperor. Before that, however, he would have to enter the Imperial Tomb and undergo the tests of the previous ancestors.
After giving their praises, the representatives of the different races left, because based on past experience, the trial would take a single day at least, and several days at most. There was no need to stand outside at all.
Furthermore, there was no such thing as a failure, so they knew it was just a formality. As such, the major figures of the different races didn’t want to just idle around outside. Leaving behind their trusted aides to await further news was already giving the royal family enough face.
Sharky brought the three won toward the Imperial Tomb’s hillside.
---
"So, from where we should enter the Imperial Timb?" Diana asked.
Charlotte remained expressionless as she replied, "Actually, we might not have to enter the Imperial Tomb. Our objective is the Unknown Region. We should just follow the map."
Alina’s eyes lit up as she remarked, "As expected of big sis Charlotte. I’ve been worrying about the inside of the Imperial Tomb the entire ti."
Charlotte chuckled and said, "It is still too early to feel happy. Who knows, the Unknown Region might be inside the Imperial Tomb, so we might still have to go in."
"Let’s just take it one step at a ti. It’s useless thinking about all of this now," Alina said. She looked at Charlotte and continued, "Big sis Charlotte, your smile really is pretty. You’ve been smiling much more recently. This version of you is so much better."
Charlotte was stunned. I’ve been smiling more recently?
"She never used to do that. Otherwise, why would I call her a stone cold woman?" Diana harrumphed. "It’s really strange now that I think about it. I’ve already known her for so many years, and yet she’s smiled more recently than in her entire life before now. It must be because of Sharky, right?"
"That’s nonsense!" Charlotte cried, her heart rate speeding up. She frowned.
Sharky was worried that they would again started fighting each other, he quickly said, "Ahem, let’s hurry and change clothes. We need to seize the mont."
Diana’s expression turned strange. A blush spread across her normally dignified expression. "You’re only making us change now? You are doing this on purpose to see us change clothes?"
"So what, I have already seen you all, and you all are my lovers, so what their hesitation needs," Sharky replied.
Without hearing their opinion, he took out the clothes and handed them to the won. "Don’t worry, I’ll completely observe you, and check where you need to adjust it."
"You," the three won blurted out at the sa ti. But they can’t stop him from observing them.
In the end, they let him look towards them, while they changed their clothes. The three won were all experts, so they changed clothes almost instantly. There weren’t any unnecessary scenes at all.
Then, the four of them headed toward the mountain where the Imperial Tomb was. Soon afterward, a troop of soldiers suddenly appeared and surrounded them, calling out, "The crown prince is experiencing his trial right now. All who trespass shall be executed without exception!"
