Stealing the Yuri Protagonist Harem - Chapter 146: The Empress Seeks Assurance

The empress was slightly taken aback. She had just spent a short time exploring the inn from the outside. How had this young man already prepared a room?

‘No, he even arranged the chaotic aura techniques in advance. This should be his preparation to have a conversation with someone in this inn.’

It was even possible that the person he was prepared to meet was not just her.

Indeed, this Holy Saint of the Demon Sect remained as mysterious as ever.

She wondered if Night Crow had any relevant information about the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect purchasing this inn.

Hmm… She probably didn’t, as the affairs of the demonic race in recent days were quite complex, and that talkative Golden-Ranked member from the Six Gate Bureau was unlikely to be able to follow Luo Wusheng’s movements as closely as before.

Yes, it was because the affairs of the demonic race had become too complicated lately, and this had nothing to do with the important task she had assigned to Night Crow to patrol the royal city a few days ago.

Thinking about this, the empress nodded slightly, even though she was aware of information that her intelligence department didn’t have.

“Very well.”

……

The room that Luo Wusheng had prepared in advance was, of course, the empty room with surveillance equipment that a certain Tower of Heavenly Mechanics’s Tower Master had “kindly” arranged for him.

He believed that the white-haired loli had already calculated everything, including his every move.

It couldn’t be helped. After all, if the empress were in a room where he couldn’t control the situation, it would be a high-risk situation.

The Holy Saint of the Demon Sect believed that the “surprises” from Yue Xuanji must be more than just this.

In this situation, the more information he had, the better he could stabilize the various events before him.

But returning to the current room, it was indeed quite nice.

The table and chairs for the conversation were already set up, and next to the table, there was a small stove with charcoal burning inside, producing no smoke, only a lingering sandalwood fragrance. Compared to the simplicity of Little Yuli’s room, this room appeared more grand and luxurious.

As a place for discussions with the empress, it was barely acceptable.

“Your Majesty, please.”

After leaving a mark on the door to prevent the inn staff from entering later, thinking that there was no one inside, Luo Wusheng invited the empress into the room.

The empress stepped into the room with light steps, taking in the decor and layout of the room with her eyes.

Now, she was more certain that this was a room specially prepared by Luo Wusheng for discussions, as a small inn like this shouldn’t have such an obviously special room.

Luo Wusheng watched as the empress took her seat and then took his own seat across from her.

On the table, there were tea utensils and tea leaves, releasing a subtle fragrance of tea.

Luo Wusheng’s lips twitched secretly.

There was no need to say it; this was definitely a preparation by some mischievous loli who wanted to see him embarrassed.

Quietly shifting his gaze away from the tea set, Luo Wusheng looked at the extraordinarily beautiful young girl across from him.

“This place won’t be disturbed, and there are corresponding techniques to conceal it from prying eyes. It’s just a bit rushed and may seem somewhat rudimentary. I hope Your Majesty won’t mind.”

Luo Wusheng naturally began the conversation, then quickly asked, “May I know the purpose of Your Majesty’s visit today? What do you wish to discuss with me?”

Facing the straightforward Holy Saint of the Demon Sect who had immediately jumped into the topic, the empress was briefly surprised but quickly got into her stride.

Although today, due to the anomaly in Dragon’s Fortune, she had manifested the Star-Moon Jade Bracelet in the real world, a relic that should have only existed in dreams, and had decided to meet with Luo Wusheng and make some inquiries, she didn’t intend to start with that.

“Since Lord Luo has said so, I won’t keep you in suspense…”

The empress placed her hands on the desk, with her right hand covering the sleeve of her left hand, preventing the Star-Moon Jade Bracelet from being exposed.

As for why she didn’t remove the bracelet first… she had attempted to do so earlier, but as soon as she made that motion, the Dragon’s Fortune that had been refined within her body would inexplicably become agitated once more.

To avoid any other anomalies, she had to change her strategy and seal the presence of the Star-Moon Jade Bracelet.

After confirming that the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect opposite her seemed to have no inkling and had assumed an attitude of waiting for her to continue, she cleared her throat.

“First, what I want to discuss with Lord Luo is the matter of the Demon Artifact Pavilion’s mortal artifacts.”

“I won’t hide it from Lord Luo, I am indeed somewhat interested in the combination artifact known as the Firearm and Bullets. I have also done some research. Although this mortal artifact can only be effective in the battle between Qi Refining cultivators, its effects are remarkable. It can allow ordinary Qi Refining cultivators to have the power to easily defeat those at the peak of Qi Refining…”

“Therefore, after considering it, the Immortal Nation hopes to place an order with the Demon Artifact Pavilion for a considerable quantity of special mortal artifacts to equip lower-level cultivators within our realm.”

“Of course, the corresponding price will not be lacking, and if the Demon Artifact Pavilion needs any assistance within the Immortal Nation in the future, we will also provide corresponding help.”

Upon hearing the empress’s first request, Luo Wusheng was momentarily surprised.

He hadn’t expected the Empress to bring up this matter first.

However, he quickly understood the reason behind it.

In normal circumstances, such a matter should have been raised by an official from the relevant department of the Immortal Nation. But now, when it was personally brought up by the empress, it showed sincerity on both the surface and beneath it. It was a way to express friendliness.

Furthermore, this gradual progression on a matter that wasn’t too significant in their eyes could lead to a more relaxed atmosphere in the conversation.

So, after a moment of thought, Luo Wusheng nodded gently. “This matter is also advantageous for the Demon Artifact Pavilion. I see no reason to refuse.”

……

The discussion of the first matter went smoothly, and the two of them quickly reached an agreement on the relevant details.

Well, mainly because Luo Wusheng swiftly advanced the conversation.

Right now, he wanted to resolve the matters here as soon as possible to avoid any mischief from Yue Xuanji. Even if the Tower Master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics didn’t cause any trouble, he didn’t know when the little fox demon empress would fully suppress her demonic aura, when Little Yuli would wake up, or what the situation was with the demoness…

Although he really wanted to improve his favorability with the empress formally, it was quite clear that today was not the time.

So, the trade between the Demon Artifact Pavilion and the Immortal Nation was quickly concluded in the conversation of the two leaders.

“This matter is settled in this way… Your Majesty, please proceed with the other matters.”

Hearing Luo Wusheng’s words, the empress’s phoenix eyes flashed with a hint of confusion.

Why did she feel like the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect in front of her was in such a hurry?

She had also thought of having a sip of tea to moisten her throat.

During previous interactions with him in her mortal incarnation, he didn’t seem this eager… Could it be that he’s a bit nervous when facing her, who serves as the Empress of the Immortal Nation.

If that’s the case, it’s indeed rare to see age-appropriate reactions from this Holy Saint of the Demon Sect when dealing with her.

‘Although he’s a bit younger, it seems he…’

‘No, what am I thinking?’

‘It must be the influence of Wutong, who keeps pestering me!’

The empress suddenly snapped back to attention, her gaze somewhat unfocused, not looking at the young man in front of her.

Fortunately, she remembered what she was going to say next.

“… Ahem, Lord Luo, are you interested in becoming one of the official in the Immortal Nation?”
