As time went by, the attitude of the ruthless emperor was indeed slowly changing. Alex's strategy and Huo Ling'er's assists gradually took effect.

A hint of warm light began to appear under the originally cold mask of the ruthless emperor.

Electrolux continued to communicate with the Ruthless Emperor on various topics, ranging from martial arts practice to the mysteries of heaven and earth, from the past to the future.

His knowledge and wisdom aroused the interest of the ruthless emperor involuntarily, and Huo Linger's gentle questions also made the ruthless emperor feel an unprecedented intimacy.

During an in-depth conversation, the ruthless emperor seemed to be touched by one of Alex's insights. She was silent for a moment, then slowly took off the mask on her face.

A beautiful face was revealed, her eyes sparkled with wisdom and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Elux, you are indeed an interesting person."

The ruthless emperor's voice softened a lot. She looked at Alex with a hint of appreciation in her eyes. "Your knowledge and vision force me to re-evaluate you."

Alex smiled slightly. He was satisfied with Bibi Dong's change of attitude, but he did not show too much pride.

He knew that this was just the beginning and he needed to work harder to consolidate his relationship with the Ruthless Emperor.

"Your Excellency, it is my honor to receive your recognition."

Electrolux responded modestly, “I would rather we could be friends and explore the mysteries of this universe together.”

The ruthless emperor nodded, and her attitude was obviously much gentler than before: "Elux, I agree with your idea. Maybe we can start as friends and slowly get to know each other."

Seeing this, Huo Linger was secretly happy.

She knew that her assist had worked, and was pleased with the friendly relationship between Alex and the Ruthless Emperor.

"Sister Empress, since we are already friends, can you tell us about your origins?"

Huo Linger took the opportunity to ask, her eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.

The ruthless emperor glanced at Huo Ling'er, then sighed softly: "My origin is a long story. I was once a strong man in the era of Covering the Sky. I have experienced countless battles and challenges to get to where I am today."

There was a hint of vicissitudes and emotion in her words, and it was obvious that her past was full of stories and experiences.

Both Alex and Huo Ling'er listened carefully to the story told by the Ruthless Emperor. They were deeply attracted by her story.

As the ruthless emperor narrated, they got to know her better and better.

Unconsciously, the attitude of the ruthless emperor became better and better. She not only shared her past with Alex and Huo Ling'er, but also showed more friendliness and trust to them.

"I think you and I should have something in common!"

Alex observed the atmosphere around him and found that the ruthless emperor no longer had the previous barriers with everyone, and the communication between them became more and more natural and harmonious.

He pondered in his mind and felt that it was time to take a step further and get closer to the Ruthless Emperor.

During a casual conversation, Electrolux pretended to be unintentional and gently extended his hand in the direction of the Ruthless Emperor.

The ruthless emperor did not seem to have expected this move. When Alex's hand was about to touch hers, she suddenly felt shy, a faint blush appeared on her face, and she quickly retracted her hand. Alex was not discouraged by this. He kept smiling and looked calm, as if the action just now was just a friendly exchange.

Although the ruthless emperor dodged, he did not show any anger, which gave Alex the courage to keep trying.

After a while, Alex looked for an opportunity again. This time he was more cautious, trying not to surprise the ruthless emperor.

When their conversation turned to a topic of mutual interest, Alex gently placed his hand on the hand of the Ruthless Emperor.

The body of the ruthless emperor stiffened slightly, but he did not dodge as quickly as before.

Electrolux felt the softness and warmth of the ruthless emperor's hand. He gently held it and conveyed his sincerity and friendliness with his eyes.

The ruthless emperor met his gaze, seemingly trying to find out his true intentions.

Finally, she sighed softly and did not pull her hand away, which was undoubtedly her acquiescence to Electrolux's behavior.

As time went on, the interaction between the two became more and more natural.

During a conversation, while the Ruthless Emperor was laughing, Alex boldly put his hand on her waist.

The ruthless emperor's smile froze slightly. She looked down at Alex's hand and then looked into his eyes.

Alex's heart beat faster, he was worried that the ruthless emperor would suddenly get angry, but his expression remained calm.

The ruthless emperor seemed to have struggled in her heart, but finally she chose to accept it and did not move Alex's hand away.

As their relationship gradually heats up, the interactions between Alex and the Ruthless Emperor begin to be filled with ease and humor.

When they are together, they not only discuss serious topics, but also flirt from time to time, adding a bit of fun and intimacy to their relationship.

When the two were walking in the forest together, Alex suddenly stopped and said to the Ruthless Emperor in a mysterious tone.

"Your Excellency, Empress, I heard that in this era of Heaven Shading, there is an unrivaled and beautiful Empress who is not only powerful but also extremely wise. I wonder if I have the honor to see her other side?"

The ruthless emperor heard the teasing in Electrolux's words. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Oh? The other side? Electrolux, are you challenging me?"

Alex spread his hands and pretended to be innocent. "How dare I challenge Her Majesty? I am just curious and want to see if there are other charming sides of the Queen besides her majesty."

The ruthless emperor chuckled, she walked closer to Alex, suddenly stretched out her hand and pinched his cheek, with a hint of playfulness in her tone: "Are you satisfied with this side?"

Alex was caught off guard by the Ruthless Emperor's sudden affectionate gesture. He rubbed his pinched cheek and responded with a smile: "Your Excellency the Empress is indeed versatile. She can do even such a small gesture so elegantly."

The Ruthless Emperor withdrew his hand, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes: "Of course, I am the Ruthless Emperor, no matter which side I am on, I will not let you down.

This action made Alex feel extremely happy and relieved. He knew that he had successfully entered the heart of the ruthless emperor.

Success, hahahaha! (End of this chapter)
