...and then she refused to drink it.
Drinking alcohol really leads to trouble.
Even Feixiao, after such a big incident, had no heart to continue drinking.
"General Feixiao, please speak frankly. If it is something we can help with, my sister and I will do our utmost to assist you."
Looking at the wine in front of her and Fei Xiao's ingratiating expression, Xueyi couldn't help but adopt the cold and solemn tone she used during her time as a judge.
Although the Ten Kings Division is considered an independent system, there are some unspoken rules governing its operations.
The Seven Heavenly Generals of the Immortal Ship are undoubtedly an existence that their "independent" system must respect.
The general toasts the judge, but is the judge, who is already guilty, offering a toast...?
If they were still on the Immortal Ship, after that cup of wine, the two of them would probably be considering whether to issue a mission that guarantees their deaths.
"Cough cough... It's nothing serious."
Fei Xiao looked embarrassed. "Why don't you two drink while I talk?"
Xueyi remained expressionless.
If you hadn't told them, the two sisters wouldn't have dared to drink this wine!
"……Alright alright."
Fei Xiao didn't make things difficult for the two of them. "I'd like to ask... you two are quite familiar with the law, aren't you?"
"I can recite the laws of the Immortal Ship backwards."
They are both ancient judges, some thousands of years old.
"Are the laws here very different from those on Xianzhou?"
"They are largely the same, with minor differences."
"comprehend by analogy."
The two sisters each gave their own answers.
At the same time, he felt even more confused.
Is it necessary to consult the law here?
Although they were guilty, they had already been judged.
"Um... I'd like to ask, does the Immortal Boat... also have the crime of rape?"
"Although it is not a crime under our jurisdiction, it exists naturally."
Xueyi nodded. "General, you might as well explain things more clearly."
"...Then, if a woman uses force against a man, does that count as rape?"
Feixiao looked at Xueyi with great anticipation.
Although it's a bit despicable, as long as Xueyi shakes her head, she can shamelessly say that this is the prevailing custom on the Immortal Ship.
After all, something like this happened! How could she face Liu Bai without a reason?
"Of course... wait, General, you mean you... gave Lord Liu Bai away?"
Xueyi realized—are there any men other than Liu Bai in the Dust Song Pot now?!
"It happened suddenly."
Fei Xiao argued, "But does it really count? It's nothing... it's just that... look, Liu Bai is also... so, it's even..."
Feixiao, who still tried to argue his point, was defeated by the equally merciless gazes of Xueyi and Hanya.
"Many women who commit this crime think that the other person also enjoys it, but in reality, this is just wishful thinking."
The crow spoke softly.
"Just as many men who commit similar crimes say 'the other person seduced' them—this idea, in any case, cannot be used as an excuse for persecution."
"Gu..."

Chapter 472 An eye for an eye.
"I see... So, doesn't this mean I owe two favors?"
"Wait a minute, how did we end up owing two favors?"
Feixiao was stunned after explaining the whole story.
"Is your 'Moon Madness' cured?"
Xueyi said calmly.
"And then you forced yourself on Lord Liu Bai."
The crows coordinated perfectly to finish off the enemy.
"Strictly speaking, it was both a favor and a sin."
"No, two portions, plus the things I said while drunk last night."
"Hey! You two, wait a minute! What are you saying about me having more and more sins on my head?"
Feixiao interrupted the two of them.
“Just stating the facts.”
The crow took a sip of wine.
I must say, the taste was pretty good.
"Gulp... Well, then give me a solution! You two at least drank my wine!"
So that's what the wine was waiting for.
Xueyi glanced at the wine glass; this method really had the style of a martial artist.
"Just... give me a reason."
Before the two could react, Fei Xiao took a step back.
"Actually, I don't think this can be considered rape. It's just... doesn't the law have something called... foresight or something?"
"there is."
"Then I think Liu Bai should be able to foresee the possibility that I might rape him!"
Fei Xiao tried to argue, "He gave me that light cone too, so he should know exactly what it was about."
"Is the effect of that light cone 'triggering a strong sexual event' or 'high probability of triggering a strong sexual event'?"
As he poured himself a drink, Han Ya asked.
"..."
The sky was silent.
Of course not, it's just to make her a little more domineering and to make her have a better impression of Liu Bai.
"Furthermore, how can you say that Lord Liu Bai could foresee such a risk?"
"Gu..."
"To give an example, if a merchant places a pile of precious jade bracelets on a tilted counter without any protection, and a customer takes one out to play with it, the entire counter will fall down. Should the merchant have foreseen the risk, or should the customer have foreseen the risk?"
"Well……"
From Feixiao's intuition, this is a risk that the merchant should have foreseen—after all, it's the merchant's product.
Moreover, this behavior is highly suspected of inducing staged accidents for insurance fraud.
Is it normal for customers to handle and play with jade bracelets? Absolutely!
However, it is clearly abnormal for the merchant to place the jade bracelet on a tilted counter without any protection.
Under the above conditions, what would be the outcome of the fall? It's most likely an accident—because everyone knows that things placed at an angle are more likely to fall.
If a customer commits theft, then it is definitely the customer's problem.
Of course, if we delve deeper into this matter, other issues will arise, but for now, it's enough to explain it to Feixiao.
"So that means Liu Bai should have foreseen the potential risks to his chastity?"
Fei Xiao cautiously began, "Shouldn't I have put his virginity in front of me?"
"...Please don't force the connection."
Han Ya remained expressionless. "The decision on this matter rests with you. You clearly did not need to provoke Yue Kuang to make amends, yet you insisted on doing so unnecessarily. Meanwhile, Lord Liu Bai did not engage in any inducement during this incident."
"Therefore, you should have anticipated the risks associated with the light cone effect."
Xueyi continued, "Moreover, your forced sexual behavior is a foregone conclusion. Even if Lord Liu Bai did not induce you, you will still bear the main responsibility."
You can't just kill someone if they tell you to, can you?
You can't just force yourself on someone just because they ask you to... cough cough, okay, there's actually a bit more to this, since it sounds like "agreeing".
However, this time Liu Bai was simply carrying out normal operations.
—Good heavens, those two really wanted to favor their own men.
But from the current perspective... well, the whole sequence of events is too clear.
So there's no need to argue about who's responsible, and no need to show favoritism.
Feixiao is fully responsible.
"...I already said I was trying to think of a solution! Why are you starting to criticize me again?"
Feixiao slammed his fist on the table.
"Because you, General, have been thinking about shirking your responsibilities."
Xueyi continued to cut to the chase, "What you need now is not a solution, but an excuse."
"Gulp... Forget excuses or methods, let's hear one!"
"...Although we have been discussing legal issues, one thing must be acknowledged—we currently do not have any real legal constraints."
After thinking for a moment, the crow spoke.
She has an idea.
"Indeed it is……"
Feixiao nodded.
"So the laws of the collective are actually just basic morality."
"That's true..."
"Then, General, you should know what the most basic law is, right?"
"...What is it?"
Fei Xiao said, "If I knew, would I still be bringing alcohol to see you two?"
"Tit for tat."
The raven spoke as if it were about something so trivial.
"Oh, an eye for an eye... wait a minute!"
Feixiao's voice suddenly rose two octaves, "What do you mean by 'an eye for an eye'? The kind I'm thinking of?"
"Correct."
Han Ya calmly nodded, "Since you forced yourself on Lord Liu Bai once and don't know how to apologize, then why don't you let Lord Liu Bai force himself on you once?"
"Hey! Something's not right!"
"Do you have a better way?"
"..."
If she had such a thing, would she still be seeking legal advice from these two people?
