That is? The thunderstorm in his mind startled Feng Yi awake, suddenly recalling the almost forgotten past from years ago—during the military academy face-off period, Emily indeed sought him out actively, urging him not to join the military from a place of concern.

The cheap first kiss was just gone like that.

He was like a fool, always being led along, and he promised to agree to her request, under the condition that nothing would violate his own principles.

But when asked about the condition, Milly said she hadn't thought of one yet, who would have known it would be today!

Cold sweat inexplicably seeped from Feng Yi's forehead, this deceitful woman was too clever!

"Seems like Feng hasn't forgotten the promise made back then."

"Uh... you..."

Milly laughed, her laughter was enchanting, eyes narrowing but neither speaking nor replying, making Feng Yi increasingly uneasy, as if some conspiracy was brewing.

"You hide so well, remembering this, yet I've never truly understood you."

"In what aspect."

"In every aspect, for instance in personality, are you truly the gentle Milly with a dark heart, or the domineering and decisive fleet commander?"

"Huh..." Milly's mouth slightly curled, "Interested in my personality, which version do you prefer?"

Feng Yi was taken aback, obviously he was asking, how did it suddenly become like this...

"Answering the question with a question, being outmaneuvered, I advise you not to be too clever."

"Eh?" Milly was stunned too.

Looking at her innocent and puzzled gaze, Feng Yi let out a helpless bitter smile, "You're keen on observation, your communication skills are smooth and variable, without a flaw, none of that is wrong, I won't deny you're at the top tier of the dating food chain, but how can you conceal surpassing me?"

"Surpassing Feng... Surpassing what? Can you eat it?"

"You don't get it? To be honest, I can see through your essence, your care for me is an obsession, a mindset of dissatisfaction, don't take people for fools and deceive them. I admit that playing the affection card needs improvement, but it's not as easy as sweeping it all away."

Milly almost cried, "I truly like you, never intended to deceive Feng Yi."

"But what about your changeable personality, sometimes strong, sometimes unpredictable, even your hair, sometimes white, sometimes pink."

This sent Milly into a brief flashback, to the most ordinary day at the Yingland Royal Military Academy, she originally intended to create a club but got rejected for not being a student council member.

Don't even mention being a student council member, what's a president?

As a New Human, the most outstanding genius girl, even though she is gentle and popular among girls, that was only the school from the past.

Yingland's melting pot quickly taught her a lesson that reality doesn't pay for dreams, you also need power!

Thus, Milly decided to comprehensively defeat the student council president Ophelia.

But in fact, a soft girl doesn't have much persuasion, and though she is soft on the outside, she's inherently a gentle and charming type, her deterrent power is limited.

Eventually, she bought a biological color-changing agent, adopted traits and behaviors, even changed her name to the homophone of Ophelia, namely Amelia, to show her determination to outshine her. Even upon joining the army, the original habits remained.

But people are like that, she still can't guarantee playing a role all the time, especially when meeting Feng Yi on the battlefield, she often involuntarily shows her sweet girl side.

Now the sweet girl has leveled up to the top tier, extremely manipulative, playing both old and new hands, but Feng Yi remains the same, max rank at Diamond Three and base rank at Bronze.

The secret hidden within her heart is known only to her brother, she truly doesn't know how to speak to Feng Yi, at this point, being honest is likely to be rejected, when she suddenly tells Feng Yi she wants to discuss the main topic.

"What main topic?"

"I like you, Feng Yi, this doesn't violate principles, right? We set a childhood engagement."

Feng Yi lowered his head, "Actually, I have a child who's six years old."

"Six years old!" Milly seemed to hear a significant piece of news, her cherry lips slightly parted...

"Just like that, is it okay?"

"Hehe, I knew earlier, it was with a girl named Mengdie, that's fine."

"Uh, you knew...?"

"I do investigate too, don't forget Francis, my brother."

"Hey, are you a modern woman or not, although advocating free love, monogamy is still mainstream."

"I know."

"Then why..."

"You're special, no one can get close to my heart. Over these years, despite meeting many men, without finding an appropriate match, I'd rather remain single than play games."

Feng Yi didn't know what to say either, "It's not just you, my head's a mess, I owe quite a few emotional debts—Mengdie, you, Nangong Qi, Jiu Ling, even the Titan Elf Queen."

"An outstanding man will ultimately have many pursuers, that doesn't bother me, but Titan Elf Queen, what now?"

"Just as you think, I rejected her, but she still shows up, even mentioned going to Sky City soon, it's really hard."

"Hmm, that's easy to deal with," Milly's cherry lips slightly curled upward.

"What are you mumbling?"

"Hehe, mumbling about the promise, let's fulfill it now."

"You wouldn't want me to..."

"I won't be heartless and force you, but a promise still needs to be met."

Milly, covering her cherry lips with slender fingers, stared as if at prey, her smile was always sweet yet deeply layered, which made Feng Yi curious about the promise's content.

"How do you want me to fulfill it?"

"Simply say one hundred times, 'Milly Milly, I like you,' that'll do."

"Is that all?"

"Yes."

Milly nodded earnestly.

Alright then, here goes: "Milly Milly, I like you."

"Yes, that's one, ninety-nine more times to go."

Feng Yi suddenly felt awkward, felt somewhat played, even with his current mindset, he suddenly felt quite embarrassed, but, as a man, he should do as he says, so Feng Yi braced himself and said once more: "Milly Milly, I like you."

"Mm, I'm listening, ninety-eight more times."

Ninety-ninety-eight times? Ninety-eight more remaining? Feng Yi's heart suddenly felt a little crashing, she was definitely intentionally making it difficult.

Feng Yi forced himself to stay composed, took a light sigh, and said the same thing eight more times, taking it as a tenth done, feeling a bit better.

Milly still kept her smile, eyes squinting, gradually moving closer to Feng Yi: "Continue."

"Uh...? Milly Milly, I like you..."

"Mm-hmm, a hundred times, a hundred times."

"A-a hundred times, a hundred times, that's not..."

Haha!

Feng Yi laughed too, it was so damn embarrassing he just couldn't hold it in, you're really playing with me, aren't you, cheeky boy?
