Stealing the Yuri Protagonist Harem - Chapter 161: Where Is Luo Lang?
Compared to the Empress and the demon fox empress, Bai Xiaoyao’s reaction was much more subdued.
After confirming that her senior brother was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief.
However, she was slightly puzzled by the sudden sensation of the resonance in her cultivation technique.
Was it really just her imagination? Or could there have been some error in her cultivation technique’s operation, causing a sensation similar to resonance?
But the probability of that seemed too low.
And given the current situation…
She looked towards the two other women who had appeared in the corridor at the same time as her.
She had seen the courtesan from the Red Blossom Pavilion for the second time, and she had also learned from her senior brother that the woman was inside the inn, so that didn’t surprise her much. She turned her gaze to the other side.
‘The Empress of the Immortal Nation…’
Although it was the first time she had seen the Empress’s true appearance, her attire immediately made Bai Xiaoyao guess her identity.
However, she only hesitated for a moment before regaining her composure.
After all, she had long been prepared for the Empress of the Immortal Nation to come looking for her senior brother.
Her senior brother was exceptionally talented, had caused quite a sensation in the capital, resolved the threat of the demon race for the Immortal Nation, and now held the position of the head of the Artifact Pavilion in the capital. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that he had unfinished business and intended to stay in the capital for a while.
In this situation, the Empress personally making promises to lure her senior brother back to normal was nothing out of the ordinary.
Even the Empress’s arrival might be one of the contingencies prepared by her senior brother for the events outside the city today.
What happened outside the royal city would undoubtedly provide significant assistance to the immortal nation.
As for the rest… Well, her senior brother must not have had a close relationship with the Empress before, otherwise he wouldn’t have needed to trade for the intervention of the Six Gate Bureau in exchange for the matter concerning the demonic being on the day the Demon Artifact Pavilion was opened.
In addition to the recent chaos caused by the demon race in the royal city, the Empress definitely wouldn’t have had the opportunity to meet her senior brother frequently in such a busy situation.
So, it’s possible that the Empress and her senior brother might be meeting for the first time today.
Thinking this way, Bai Xiaoyao gave the Empress a friendly smile when she noticed the Empress’s gaze shift towards her.
Her senior brother would definitely have a lot of dealings with the royal city as he carried out his tasks, and as a considerate junior sister, she wouldn’t want to create any conflicts with people her senior brother associated with.
Seeing the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect’s gesture, the Empress, who was well-versed in social matters, quickly understood her intentions and nodded gently as a sign of reciprocation.
Then, the scene fell silent once again.
They had all come out to find Luo Wusheng, but now that they had found him, they didn’t quite know how to proceed.
Especially Yao Ji.
As the only one who couldn’t reveal her true identity, she had originally just wanted to come out and see what had happened with Yue Xuanji. But now, she had unexpectedly caught the attention of the Empress.
After lightly calling for Luo Wusheng earlier, she couldn’t easily return to her room now, as it would deepen the Empress’s suspicion…
Being suspected wasn’t a big deal for her, as she had prepared for such a possibility long ago. After all, once she disappeared from the royal city as the Red Blossom Pavilion courtesan, the Empress would naturally consider various possibilities.
Moreover, if she were to appear before the Empress in the future as the demon empress, the Empress, armed with relevant information, might actually recognize her.
…But after her earlier, light call, if she made any inappropriate moves, her identity being exposed might inadvertently implicate Luo Wusheng. That was something she didn’t want to see.
‘What does Yue Xuanji want to do? Is she the one behind the current situation?’
‘Well, I’ll settle the score with that woman later… for now…’
She couldn’t show a deep connection with the Holy Saint of the Demon Sect, and she needed to have as little interaction as possible with the Empress. She had to maintain her identity as Yao Ji.
She had a headache.
Things had happened too suddenly, and she didn’t have an immediate plan of action.
If only something unexpected would divert their attention…
Luo Wusheng, on the other hand, was deep in thought.
Although he didn’t know why his junior sister had come out to find him at this moment, he had some clues about the reasons for the other two.
The Empress was probably here because of the glowing Dragon Fortune Stone. Judging from her earlier actions in her room, there seemed to be some connection between the Dragon Fortune Stone and the mysterious Star-Moon Jade that had appeared in her hand. When he thought about the Dragon Fortune Seed within him, which served as the foundation for his luck, it might be what had caused these changes.
It was possible that, just as he suspected, there had been a strange and inexplicable exchange between the Dragon Fortune and the Star-Moon Jade Ring he had created in his dreams.
As for the little fox empress, it was all Yue Xuanji’s doing.
‘The Empress probably wants to test the reason for the appearance of the Star-Moon Jade Ring on her hand, although I’m not sure about the exact reason…’
‘The little fox probably wants to ask me why Yue Xuanji captured me just now… But even though I know the answer, I can’t tell her.’
Well, judging from the murderous intent the white-haired girl had barely suppressed a few times, if he told her about touching her head and then mentioned it to Yao Ji, he’d probably end up in a grave the next day.
Thinking about how Yue Xuanji had almost given him gastritis by helping him as an ally this time, Luo Wusheng couldn’t even begin to imagine what would happen if he were truly targeted by her.
Well, he shouldn’t think about these things for now. What should he do at this moment?
Luo Wusheng’s gaze flickered slightly.
The final step to absorb the good fortune had already been revealed to Luo Wusheng by Yue Xuanji.
It involved pushing the limit of the Qi of Luck seed to induce a new change…
And now, the people who could make the Qi of Luck seed undergo a transformation were all present in his vicinity, except for Yue Xuanji, who had given it the initial push and then disappeared.
Even the still-hidden Little Yuli was just a door away from him.
‘I wonder if she has awakened yet, and what’s the situation inside…’
If the formation that Lu Yuliu had prepared beforehand was working correctly, it should have sealed her completely within her room.
Luo Wusheng looked at the door without revealing his thoughts.
But at that moment, there was a sudden loud noise from below the inn, causing the entire building to shake.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
“It seems like it’s coming from the outside?”
“But… where’s Lord Luo?”
