Chapter 880 The Empress

The rustling sounds in the bushes attracted Lu Yu’s attention. When he looked over, he saw a little girl squatting in the bushes, looking at Lu Yu with a vigilant and curious expression.

The girl was wearing a simple and unadorned dress made from pink fiber.

...

However, Lu Yu’s curiosity was piqued because the girl’s body was covered in fluorescent paint, making her look shiny.

Lu Yu reasoned why they did this, as it was one of their only choices to illuminate their surroundings in such a dark environment.

“Hey! Who are you?”

She asked cautiously, speaking in the language of the Lionheart Kingdom.

“My name is Lu Yu. I’m an adventurer.”

Lu Yu smiled kindly and replied.

The girl opened her big, watery eyes and stared at Lu Yu.

Her big, round eyes looked bigger than a cat’s.

Especially her pupils, round and green.

Lu Yu was aware that a person’s pupils enlarge in the dark and contract in the light.

Perhaps it was because of the dark environment here that her eyes became so big.

Her big eyes made her look cute.

“Are you an outsider? It had been many years since an outsider had entered this place.”

She walked out of the bushes and approached Lu Yu, sizing him up curiously.

Their physical characteristics made it easy to tell they were from somewhat different races.

“Can you take me to your country?”

Lu Yu asked.

“No problem, but what are you planning to do here?”

“I heard you have a clairvoyant here, and I want to meet the person. She gave some pointers to a friend of mine, allowing her divination abilities to improve by leaps and bounds.”

“That’s our royal preceptor, not someone you can casually meet.”

Lu Yu smiled and continued to ask, “Who is your king?”

“Our ruler is Empress Ye Ming. She has lived for more than a hundred years. Do you want to meet her?”

Lu Yu nodded. “Of course, I can only meet the clairvoyant after meeting your empress.”

“It won’t be easy to meet the empress. You have to defeat her guard and prove that you are worthy of her audience.”

“This is simple.”

“It’s not that simple. Her guard is very powerful and has always pursued the Empress’s hand in marriage. It’s just that the empress doesn’t like him.”

Lu Yu asked curiously. “Your empress has lived for so long and yet hasn’t married?”

“No. She wants to get married to someone truly strong to revitalize our Twilight Kingdom. Unfortunately, she hasn’t found one yet.”

Lu Yu sighed. “She has been single for over a hundred years; I’m sure she must be anxious.”

“Perhaps it’s possible that it’s fate that’s stopping her. After all, hope is slim down here.”

As the girl spoke, she took the lead and walked forward.

“I’m Nancy. Let me take you to a place to stay.”

Lu Yu followed her to the city of the Twilight Kingdom.

It was called a city, but this was technically the entire country. There wasn’t a need to divide a few cities in a country with a population of only a few hundred thousand.

Moreover, they were living in a place akin to paradise, with no threat from external enemies.

Soon, Lu Yu arrived in the city. The houses around him were primitive and simple, with many of them made of stone.

Their lighting was crude. Most of them lit their surroundings with firefly bottles, and a few lit torches.

The people here were also dressed primitively. They wore simple and unadorned clothes made of coarse cloth with no modern elements.

Walking on the street, Lu Yu attracted the attention of many people.

Lu Yu had no fluorescent paint on his body, making him look out of place. Moreover, his clothes and appearance were completely different from those here.

“Why don’t I bring you to the Empress? After all, it’s not easy for an outsider to come in.”

“No problem. I don’t want to waste too much time here too.”

Lu Yu could not adapt to the living environment here as it was too primitive.

“Alright, follow me!”

She led the way excitedly, while Lu Yu followed closely behind her.

Soon, the two of them arrived in front of a manor.

Along the way, Lu Yu was surrounded by many people. Because they had never met an outsider before, he naturally drew a lot of attention.

The Empress’s residence was a manor. It was small but considered pretty good for such a small country.

Lu Yu followed Nancy to the gate of the manor. Two guards were standing there, blocking Nancy’s way.

“Please stop. Why are you here?”

The guard questioned Nancy.

Nancy smiled awkwardly, then turned to Lu Yu and said, “I brought you here. You can handle the rest.”

Lu Yu stepped forward. “I want to see your Empress. I have something to discuss with her.”

“Who are you? Do you think anyone can meet Her Highness whenever they want?”

A guard sized Lu Yu up and questioned Lu Yu, “How can we be sure of your intentions? Why would we let you in if you may be here to assassinate the Empress?”

“If I came here with hostility, would I still stand here openly?” Lu Yu retorted immediately.

“Regardless, you only have the qualifications to enter if you fight with our commander and prove your strength. Only then will you prove your worthiness to enter!”

“Where’s your commander?” Lu Yu demanded. “Call him out.”

The two guards shrugged and did not move.

“Do you think our commander is free?”

Lu Yu was rendered speechless. “Didn’t you say I had to go up against your commander? I arrived from the outside world to look for your state preceptor. Why don’t you go and tell them? I’m sure they’ll meet me.”

Barely any outsiders would make it to their place, so they would take him seriously once he declared that he came from the outside.

The two guards looked at each other and felt they should report this to their higher-ups. Thus, one of them turned around and walked into the manor.

There were seven or eight villas around the manor, and the people who lived here were all people of importance, governing various aspects of the country.

After the guard entered, he quickly brought someone back with him.

When that person walked over, Lu Yu looked over and saw a muscular man in dark blue armor. He approached Lu Yu with heavy steps.

“Who wants to meet the Empress?”

When he reached the entrance, he saw Lu Yu’s figure. He could tell at a glance that Lu Yu was not a citizen of their country.

“You are the person who demands an audience with the Empress?”

“That’s right; I don’t want to waste too much time here. Let me in quickly!”

Lu Yu could fight his way in, but that would make things difficult.

He didn’t want to waste any more time. He was looking for the clairvoyant to tell him his fortune. He’d then have to assist the Death Spirit Dragon in rebuilding its body, so he couldn’t leave until he finished these two tasks.
