The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 151

Chapter 151

Ling Chunann pondered for a moment before declaring, "Imperial Uncle Husband."

"Imperial, Imperial Uncle Husband?" Allen asked, bewildered.

Patting Allen on the head, Ling Chunann affirmed, "Such a good nephew indeed."

098 couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Could it be that the young Imperial Uncle was actually the submissive one? But considering the young Imperial Uncle's taller stature, stronger physique, and imposing aura, it seemed unlikely he would willingly play a secondary role. However, Allen then remembered the young Imperial Uncle's protective behavior towards the Imperial Aunt, including gifting away his decades-long companion mech and even preparing a vast array of food for him, demonstrating deep affection. Thus, it seemed reasonable... perhaps.

Eventually, Allen managed to gather his wits. Shaking off the disturbing thoughts and avoiding Ling Chunann's gaze, he suggested, "Imperial Aunt... Imperial Uncle Husband, let's return. With your achievements in breaking into the insectoids' nest, you should be able to secure the rank of Major General."

"A week later, the crown prince led the troops out of Linhai Star.

"Imperial Uncle Husband, are you sure you won't return to the Imperial Star with me?" Allen inquired.

"Tell your young Imperial Uncle, once I become an Imperial Marshal and gain fame across the stars, I'll return to marry him."

"…Alright."

Watching Allen flee as if escaping, Ling Chunann couldn't hold back his laughter. "That'll teach him to make the younger ones call me such an effeminate title."

Claiming not to hold grudges, 098 mentally commented before swiftly reducing its presence, fearing collateral damage.

Upon returning to the spaceship, Allen immediately contacted Nole, detailing Ling Chunann's situation but omitted the part about being asked to call him Imperial Uncle Husband, especially upon seeing Nole's chilling demeanor. Eventually, Allen emphasized Ling Chunann's final words, believing that the Imperial Aunt had resolved to become a marshal before returning.

"He really said that? To become a marshal and then come back to marry me?"

Hearing Nole's unflustered tone, Allen, noticing his expressionless face, felt uneasy and hurriedly lowered his head, "Yes, young Imperial Uncle."

"Alright, head back to the Imperial Star first."

"Yes, young Imperial Uncle."

"By the way," as Allen waited for the other to end the call, Nole added, "Did he allow you to call him Imperial Aunt?"

"Um." Caught off guard by Nole's question, Allen hesitated before deciding to be truthful, "No, he asked me to call him... call him..."

"Call him what?"

With a resolve akin to facing death, Allen blurted out, "Call him Imperial Uncle Husband!"

Before Allen could finish, Nole's figure had already vanished from the cabin. Staring at the empty space, Allen wondered if the young Imperial Uncle was angry.

Thinking this, Allen instinctively wanted to inform Ling Chunann, but recalling Nole's expression, he decided against a video call and quietly sent a text message instead.

Upon returning to the Imperial Star, Allen's first task was to find his young Imperial Uncle, but to no avail. Just as he was about to leave the palace, he encountered the young prince.

"Big brother, didn't you just return? Why are you leaving again?"

"I'm looking for the young Imperial Uncle."

"The young Imperial Uncle left half a month ago."

"Half a month ago?" Allen paused, realizing it coincided with his departure from Linhai Star. "Did he mention where he was going?"

"No, I just happened to see him. You know I like wandering around, and even Father doesn't know the young Imperial Uncle left." Since Nole's awakening, the Emperor had treated him like fragile goods, delighting in his appointment at the Imperial Academy but opposing his return to the battlefield.

Allen wasn't worried about Nole's safety but feared the young Imperial Uncle might be seeking trouble with Ling Chunann. "What was his expression when he left?"

"Um, just his usual expression," said the young prince. "But although his expression was unchanged, I could sense he was happy."

"Happy?"

"Yes, I greeted him, and he actually responded with a 'hm,' usually, he just nods and walks past!"

Military ranks in the Imperial Legion were awarded based on merit, meaning more wars led to faster promotions. Given the full-scale invasion by the insectoids, earning merits wasn't difficult, especially for Ling Chunann, whose achievements made him as renowned as Nole.

After another victorious battle, Ling Chunann snuck out of the camp to a nearby valley, calling out, "Come out."

098, puzzled, inquired, "Host, is there something here?"

"My secret to winning every battle."

"Isn't it your strategic planning that wins battles?" 098 was shocked, having always seen its host win fairly, with capable subordinates and no hint of cheating.

"That's precisely his brilliance," Ling Chunann explained.

Suddenly, a familiar voice spoke from behind Ling Chunann, not the alpha who awaited Ling Chunann's marshalship for marriage. Facing the man with a dark expression, Ling Chunann asked, "Had I not sought you, when were you planning to appear?"

The man's expression softened, "I just wanted to hasten your promotion to marshal."

After staring for a while, Ling Chunann conceded, "Fine, but no more secret assistance."

"Yes, darling!" Nole's immediate joyful agreement followed by his embrace hinted at his open support, with promotion to marshal almost guaranteed based on Ling Chunann's merits.

As for covert help transitioning to overt, Ling Chunann knew the man wasn't lying.

Now, with only Cardoth lacking 5% in favorability among the three male supports, the designs provided by Ling Chunann had conquered the third male support, now locked in his laboratory testing new mech designs.

As for Nix, after maxing out his favorability, Nole, essentially the crown prince, had sent him on a mission to another star system. Ling Chunann was well acquainted with the man's unchanging jealousy and naturally wouldn't leave a man with designs on his lover near Ling Chunann.

The favorability of the main male character, Allen, became latent, an aspect Ling Chunann knew was undoubtedly related to Nole but chose not to comment on.

Satisfied with the man's actions, Ling Chunann preferred not to expose them.

When Ling Chunann returned with a war god, his subordinates were incredulous, only beginning to whisper after Ling Chunann and Nole left.

"The war god here? Did I see wrong?"

"No mistake, the general just announced the war god will be his deputy."

"A prince as a deputy is unheard of."

"Remember the engagement news with an alpha a year ago? That was the hottest news in the galaxy."

"So, the general and the war god..."

The conversation halted as they exchanged looks and fell silent.

The next morning, after Nole handled Ling Chunann's duties, the latter's departure was met with sincere greetings and knowing smiles from his subordinates.

"What's going on, 098?"

Noticing marks on his host's neck, 098 hesitantly explained, "Sorry, host. Lord Nole was present, and I didn't dare remind you to check the mirror."

Ling Chunann, maintaining his composure, inquired after finishing battle plans, "Any news from Xialin?"

"I was about to inform you," 098 recalled, "The main character, Xialin, appeared on the Imperial Star and became the chief mech designer at Tangde Company, unannounced but expected to be revealed soon. I'm unsure how he secured the position, given his qualifications."

Tangde, a rival to Marei Company within the Empire, demonstrated its boldness by hiring a newcomer as chief designer, hinting at a secret weapon, causing 098 some concern.

"Let him try to turn things around," Ling Chunann responded nonchalantly.

At Tangde Company on the Imperial Star, a knock sounded. "Lord Puran, the chairman requests your presence for a discussion."

After a pause, just as the alpha outside thought the room was empty, a voice agreed to attend shortly.

"Alright," the alpha paused, sensing an omaga's pheromones inside, then shrugged it off and left.
