Chapter 159: Second World: RanXie

A storm was wreaking havoc in the entire Valim Network including news broadcasters, social media platforms and even talk shows reporting and having  discussions on the same subject matter but the two parties who started this mess were still in the dark completely unaware of the explosion they had caused.

"I say I didn't see this shit coming, did any of you?" said a talk show host on the celebrity talk show with the highest viewsun the entire empire. His colleagues shook their heads agreeing with him as they too didn't expect such a turn of events. After Zhao Huangzhi was exposed they thought the emperor would force Qie Ranzhe to marry her to save face but who would have anticipated this turn of events?

"Our dear Marshal, leader of the entire UPSF fleet, a man so powerful that he can destroy a single planet by waving his pinky finger actually posted on his Valim Network account. Not  military related things but this," said the second host with look of excitement on his face pointing at the floating image of Qie Ranzhe hugging someone from behind with his neck buried in that person's neck. But the second person only showed their chin and lips wearing a yellow t-shirt written 'Property of the Marshal' in black.

"Wow.....now that's a sexy picture right there," said the third host genuinely entranced by the person in the Marshal's embrace.

"Haha the Marshal is so brazen. Look at the caption. Had....an.....amazing....night," said the second host enunciating each word separately with a barrage of comments exploding at light speed that the producer and his interns could barely keep up.

The first host drank a sip of his coffee before saying, "Maybe it's something innocent. They probably watched movies all night or something. Why are you all tarnishing our pure Marshal's good name?"

"Innocent ha! Look at that. What the fuck is that? Unless you are telling me there's a lot of mosquitoes in Prince Xieshu's pavilion," said the the third host circling the conspicuous love bite on Zhao Xieshu's neck.

"Wait, wait, wait.....how do you know it's Prince Xieshu?" said the second host staring at the third host with a meaningful gaze.

"Because he tagged the prince in it. Isn't it obvious who is in his arms?" replied the third host baffled by his colleague's ignorance.

"Tagging someone doesn't always mean its them in the image. Look he even tagged multiple alphas in the post. It could be one of them. Maybe the Marshal is having an alpha to alpha relationship or perhaps he's showing off his new flame to Prince Xieshu. Who knows, it could be Princess Huangzhi in the image," said the second host.

"I think it's about time you visit your optician because you are definitely going blind. That's clearly a man in that image and please don't discuss that fraud of a Princess it brings back terrifying memories," said the first host with goosebumps all over his body recalling the footage that was circulating online of Zhao Huangzhi kidnapping the Marshal and pretended as though they had slept together just to get him to take responsibility. Though various websites were shut down because of that footage it would still pop up here and there exposing Zhao Huangzhi's true nature.

"Here is further evidence to prove my point. Apparently someone took a picture of the general today. Take a look and tell me what you see," said the the third host pulling up the hazy image that was obviously taken from afar with great difficulty. It wasn't clear but you could make up some words on the t-shirt.

"I am more surprised that the Marshal is actually dressed in casual wear. That man is so stiff and boring ill-matched with Prince Xieshu. If Princess Huangzhi didn't screw up they should have ended up together. The Marshal is too strict and boring for our fun loving omega," said the second host barely studying the image.

"No, actually you missed the point. His t-shirt clearly says 'XieXie's Private Property'. This is obviously a couples wear. A cute idea if I might say," replied the third host zooming in on the font on the Marshal's t-shirt. Though they cleaned up the zoomed image there were still some font that was blurry but one could still make out the important parts.

"I can't see the last part well but it must be that. Maybe we should ask our audience what they think?" said the first host referring to their online viewers.

"Leave your comments and let us know what you think.....Oh, by the way our producer found something pretty interesting," said the third host his roguish eyes staring in the second host's direction.

"What?" asked the first host now also staring at the second host as well.

"He was also tagged in the post..... hahahaha," said the third host pointing at second host who didn't think he would get exposed.

"Aiyo.....so it's either you are in a relationship with the Marshal or he's warning you stay the fuck away from Prince Xieshu, am I right?"

"Fuck!" cursed the second host his lips so dry and chapped you did think he hadn't drunk water for four days straight.

"Wait a minute, is that why you were saying it's not Prince Xieshu? Are you interested in him?" asked the first host his expression seeming as though he discovered something of value.

There was no use in denying it so the second host didn't say anything just in case he says something that would poke the hornets' nest. It was obvious what the Marshal was implying. Though subtle it was a highly effective threat warning him to stay away. He did be very stupid if he persisted in his pursuit for Zhao Xieshu.

"I guess the take away from this saga is stay the fuck away from Prince Xieshu otherwise....," said the first host with the third host finishing off his sentence,

"You will be skinned alive by the Marshal."

"That's not what I wanted to say but that's a much better description that what I wanted to say. By the way there is CP name for the Marshal and Prince Xieshu circulating online," said the first host while pulling up the trending hot search #RanXie causing further commotion on Valim Network.
