Chapter 130: The Empress Expresses Incomprehension
Luo Wusheng didn't idle after that; he had other things to do.
According to what Yue Xuanji had said earlier, even though he had taken over the Wandering Immortal Inn, the way of obtaining the Dragon Fortune wouldn't be as easy as he first thought it would be. Luo Wusheng didn't believe that merely occupying this place would make good luck come to him willingly.
Since the tower master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics had only given the inn's staff a day off, it naturally meant that the inn would continue to operate as usual in the coming days.
"Well now that the little fox demon is staying in the inn, I should probably greet the inn's staff, so they don't get surprised after resting for a day and finding an extra guest in the inn," muttered Luo Wusheng as he walked along the street.
Indeed, after their conversation with the demon empress, she had directly checked into the Wandering Immortal Inn. Because Yue Xuanji had not completely concealed Yao Ji's demonic aura when concealing her, she needed some time to recover on her own. The arrangements inside the inn, set up by Yue Xuanji, could also prevent her aura from being detected by the immortal nation. So, after considering it, she gave up returning to the storage bag that Luo Wusheng carried with him.
But Luo Wusheng appreciated the choice made by the demon empress. It just happened that he was a little uneasy about the idea of the demon empress being by his side all the time. It would slightly affect his daily life, especially when communicating with Little Yuli through sword messages or having heart-to-heart conversations with his junior sister.
He would constantly worry about a fox head suddenly popping out of the storage bag.
And having the demon empress stay at the Wandering Immortal Inn also had its advantages. With this peak-level Tribulation Crossing demon as a guest, his means of obtaining Dragon Fortune in four days might increase significantly. At the very least, the margin for error should be much larger. As long as there were no outrageous accidents, Luo Wusheng believed that Yao Ji would be able to help him with this.
Plus, there was also the little white-haired loli he had obtained empty-handed.
By then, with this pair of peak-level Tribulation Crossing cultivator backers, Luo Wusheng felt that his means to collect the Dragon Fortune was going to be quite stable.
Life is good!
Thinking of this, Luo Wusheng's mood became even lighter. Although there were many things that happened last night that made his scalp tingle, his gains outweighed the losses.
First of all, he had been able to successfully rescue the demon empress, then, he learned that Yao Ji, the girl that he has been close to turn out to be the former empress of the demon race, the fact that he is the one who helped her gain her freedom back most certainly have improved his standing in her eyes.
Secondly, despite having his dream entered by Miss Kirin, the nascent soul cultivator turn out having mean no harm to him, rather than giving him harm, the female nascent soul cultivator is able to made him realize that her true identity is the mortal incarnation of the immortal nation empress, which opened the gate for him to improve his relationship with the immortal nation empress.
And lastly, there is a very real possibility of him meeting with the immortal nation empress sooner or later, and who knows, if the empress like him enough, he might even be recruited by her to be one of her underling, something that he would probably refuse, but well. if it's the kind of job where he doesn't have to do anything all day that were being offered to, the one where he just need to attend meetings a few times a year and then get paid, he would consider it.
Luo Wusheng thought gleefully as he quickened his pace, heading towards the addresses listed on the work assignment he left at the inn.
Everything seemed to be developing in a positive direction.
Deep within the Imperial Palace.
At this moment, only the Empress was present.
She glanced at the dimming sky and fell into contemplation. She had been quite busy today, considering all the events of last night. Just to minimize the impact of last night's events, the ministers of her immortal nation had been extremely busy under her command.
Her desk was piled high with documents, and the sight of it gave the teenage empress a headache.
But considering that she had been the ruler of the nation for so long, especially having experienced the turmoil during the disappearance of the previous emperor, the troubles she faced now were just a drop in the ocean compared to when she first ascended the throne.
Since the demon empress was suppressed by the previous emperor, the Demons had been at odds with the immortal nation, and naturally, the immortal nation had been on guard against them. The Demons had spent three years preparing to plot against the immortal nation, and the immortal nation had also spent the same amount of time preparing in response.
This time, they had exposed the Demons' internal collaborators in the capital city, rendering the Demons' three years of preparation useless. However, the immortal nation's methods in the capital had not fully come to light yet, at most revealing the terrifying power she possessed as the Empress of the immortal nation.
As for the demon empress's escape it was indeed a move by the immortal nation to take the initiative, but the Empress's concerns were still within manageable limits.
Although the immortal nation no longer had the terrifying previous emperor, if the immortal nation were truly in dire straits, the Taoist sect would not stand idly by.
"And the matter of the demon empress's suppression is quite suspicious Perhaps some of those old monsters who haven't appeared in the world are meddling in this. Otherwise, how could the previous empress of the demon race be suppressed so easily, and why did it take until last night for them to take action and rescue her?"
The Empress's gaze flickered.
Although she was only at the Nascent Soul stage, she was still the ruler of a nation, and her status in the Taoist sect allowed her to know many secrets.
(However, the thoughts of crossing the tribulation are known to very few unless they have reached the tribulation stage Perhaps even among the human race, apart from the ancient Taoist, Buddha, and Demon Sects, only the so-called tower master, who claims to have unraveled the secrets of the heavens, can catch a glimpse)
Shaking her head, the Empress stopped thinking about the demon empress and gently raised her hand.
A hazy starlight gathered in her hand, faintly forming the shape of a small dragon made of starlight.
This was the immortal nation's dragon fortune, which she had refined into her body as the Empress.
However, as she looked at this seemingly perfect dragon-shaped starlight, the teenage Empress furrowed her brow slightly.
Upon closer inspection, on the left eye of this seemingly flawless starlight dragon, a mysterious void had inexplicably appeared at this moment.
Within that void, there seemed to be some illusory figures that were faintly visible, as if they were about to materialize.
The Empress had been the ruler for so long and had occupied the throne for over three years, and she had seen countless records related to dragon fortune. However, she had never come across any record that mentioned dragon fortune undergoing such changes.
Could it be that there was some unforeseen event last night that she was unaware of? Something that had caused her completely claimed dragon fortune to undergo such a transformation?
But these were not remnants of dragon fortune that existed outside the concept of the ruler; they had been thoroughly refined into her own body and belonged entirely to her as the Empress of the immortal nation. What kind of event could trigger such a change in dragon fortune that had been definitively allocated?
She expressed her inability to understand.
Fortunately, the change in the dragon fortune was not significant, considering the total amount of dragon fortune she had refined into herself. But besides this, there was something else that she was concerned about.
"Luo Wusheng"
The Empress murmured softly, the image of a handsome young man floating into her mind.
