Chapter 977 Setting Out

The Empress didn’t want to waste any more time on this guy and decided to stab him with her dagger.

“Wait…” Quide hurriedly raised his head and looked at the Empress. “What’s your relationship with Lu Yu? Is it worth your life?”

“You don’t need to know this. You’re about to die.”

“I just wanted to ask, be it my last request.”

“He… He is my future husband, do you understand?”

Quide was confused. “So, are you two husband and wife? Do you know what you are dealing with?”

Quide was dumbfounded. He thought that Lu Yu was so bold to barge into the Ember Empire, so he must have been alone and had no regrets even if he died.

However, he did not expect that he would actually bring his future wife here. This was too ridiculous!

“No way. He’s a fugitive. Is there a need for you to follow him? Do you know that he has offended the Ember Empire? Do you know how massive the Ember Empire is and how many cultivators we have?”

“You must have been fooled by him. He’s just playing with you and using you!”

Quide continued to persuade her, as he seemed to think there was a chance.

He felt his guess was right, as this woman had no idea what kind of monster she was about to face.

“Hahaha, cut the crap. Lu Yu wouldn’t lie to me!”

“Why didn’t he come to kill me himself? Why did he send you instead?” asked Quide. “He must have used the excuse of marrying you to lure you into helping him!”

The Empress sneered and was speechless.

She didn’t expect her casual words to make this guy think so much.

“Alright, I’ll tell you the truth. Lu Yu doesn’t intend to start a family with me. That was just my wishful thinking.”

Although she wanted Lu Yu as her husband, the reality was that he did not agree, and it was challenging for him to agree.

She could only reveal her inner thoughts in front of this dying man.

Hearing this, Quide was stunned once again. So you’re lying to yourself?

“You should go to hell. I’ve wasted too much time on you.”

Before Quide could beg for mercy, the ice spikes on the surrounding walls shot toward him.

In an instant, Quide was impaled to death.

Immediately after, the Empress cleaned up the scene and disposed of the corpses.

The next morning, when the servants in the manor discovered that Quide and Mary were missing, they started to look around, but they could not find them.

To the city, Quide and Mary were only temporarily missing, not assassinated.

After doing all this, the Empress returned to the manor.

She opened the door and entered the living room, noticing that Lu Yu and the others had already started eating breakfast.

“How did it go?”

Lu Yu looked over.

“I’ve dealt with the enemy perfectly. There’s no need to worry for the time being.”

Lu Yu smiled and nodded slightly. “Well done. Have a good breakfast and go rest.”

The Empress nodded slightly and started to eat breakfast.

“How powerful are you? You even managed to kill Quide and Mary.” Elena looked at the Empress curiously.

“Those two are only at Diamond, and I’m at Starlight 5 and above. Dealing with them is naturally as easy as flipping my hand.”

Elena was surprised. “You’re so strong. No wonder you can follow Lu Yu. It seems that he has vision in choosing the right people.”

“Vision? Not really. There are many places that he’s blind to.”

The Empress said it with a hint of complaint.

“I’m blind to something?” Lu Yu quickly asked.

“Why do you think I’m doing all the dirty work for you when we haven’t known each other for long?”

Hearing this, Helen and Shirley stopped eating and looked over.

“When… when you left with me, didn’t you say that you would help me?”

“And then?”

“You still want me to be your emperor. That seems to be the case, right?”

The Empress nodded heavily. “That’s right. For an emperor, the empress is willing to give up everything.”

Her words were so obvious that Helen and Shirley looked at Lu Yu seriously. Their eyes were full of anticipation.

“I told you, not now. I have to deal with the Ember Empire. I can’t let them spread the flames of war to the Freedom Federation. I grew up there, and there are many innocent people there.”

The Empress shrugged. “Of course I know… I will still help you.”

Lu Yu smiled and nodded. “Thank you so much. How about this? If I destroy the Ember Empire and take over the empire as Emperor, you can still be the Empress.”

Lu Yu had already thought of how to proceed after the fall of the Ember Empire.

If the Ember Empire’s Emperor died, the entire empire would fall into chaos. At that time, they would definitely have to choose a new ruler.

The new ruler definitely could not be chosen casually. He had to be able to suppress the strong cultivators in the country.

He couldn’t choose a random person.

At that time, to stabilize this colossal empire, Lu Yu would have to take over management for a while.

Although it was a little far-fetched, it was not wholly impossible.

Lu Yu looked at the Empress and raised his head. “How is it?”

“Why don’t you just reject me directly? I won’t be able to eat this imaginary cake you drew for a while.”

The Empress pursed her lips and sighed helplessly.

Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders. “There’s no other way. We can only think about love after we’ve dealt with the enemy.”

Lu Yu looked at Helen and Shirley. “Eat your food. It’ll get cold later.”

“If you become the emperor in the future, how about I be your concubine?” Shirley asked mischievously.

Lu Yu covered his face helplessly. “Do you think marriage is child’s play? Cut it out. I grew up in the Freedom Federation. I’m already very reluctant to be an emperor, yet you still want me to be involved in polygamy. That’s completely against my upbringing.”

Lu Yu put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, “I’m done eating. I’m going out for a walk. You should rest later. Once you’re done, we’ll set off.”

The Empress hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls before returning to her room to sleep.

In the courtyard, Lu Yu paced back and forth on the lawn, occasionally stretching his body.

Afternoon came, so Elena called for a carriage as the five prepared to leave.

After boarding the carriages, they set off for Central Court City.

Lu Yu looked at Elena and asked, “Do you want to go too? It might be very dangerous over there.”

“My family is all over there. Of course I have to go over and take a look.”

“You have to be careful when you return. Someone like your cousin might still exist in your family.”

Lu Yu knew that the Demon Blood Lord was too mighty, and it would be easy to buy someone in her family.

There might be more than one person in Elena’s family who wants to sell her out.

“I’ll be careful,” Elena nodded and said seriously.
