Xing Gui appeared, and all the men present had their eyes blazing with excitement and agitation.
"Empress, let me favor you tonight. Among the 3,000 beauties of the Inner Palace, I will only ever dote on you alone," one man declared.
"I'm longing to favor you so much that it has worn me down; please grant me this wish," another pleaded.
"Empress, my love, my heart, liver, spleen, and stomach—every organ in my body is shouting out loud—I, love, you!" another professed.

The scene was indeed explosive. To those unaware of where they were, it might seem like numerous suitors were confessing to a goddess.
Su Hang looked at Xing Gui and said, "You didn't expect me to defeat Hong Chaosheng and Zhang Sanxiao. In fact, there were things I didn't expect either."
His voice sounded like a sigh yet suddenly suppressed all the other voices around.
"Oh, what didn't you expect?" Xing Gui, looking like a hunter sizing up prey, surveyed Su Hang with keen interest.
