Chapter 139: Chapter 137: The Empress Is Confused

Luo Wusheng didn’t stand around and did nothing after that; he started to do the other thing that he needed to do to increase the chance of him gaining the good luck that Yue Xuanji talked about.

According to what the ancient brat had said earlier, even though the ownership of the inn had been handed over to him, the mean to gaining the good luck to change his future is still not as easy as he originally expected, from what he had seen, merely having the legal paper that declared his ownership over the in doesn’t really do anything beside giving him a solid reason for the reason behind why he’s there when the luck that could change the course of his future greatly arrived.

Since that little brat had only given the inn’s worker a day off, it naturally meant that the inn only by tomorrow would the inn able to continue to operate

“Well… now that the little pink fox is going to stay in the inn, I should probably introduce myself to the inn’s staff, lest they report me to the Immortal Nation legal authority because they think I’m some intruder instead of their new boss.” muttered Luo Wusheng as he walked along the street.

Indeed, after his talk with the little pink fox, because the ancient brat didn’t completely seal away the Netherqueen presence, the little pink fox directly take over one of the inn empty room that has been reinforced by Yue Xuanji, something that would completely blocked any cultivator spiritual awareness as long as their cultivation realm is lower than the Tower Master, and start to sleep again, once again focusing on restoring her strength.

Luo Wusheng appreciated the choice made by the Netherqueen, despite being sort-of-a-friend with her, due to what he had just done to her, he felt that his life might be in danger if he stay too close to her, furthermore, if the little pink fox still chose to sleep in the storage pouch given by Yue Xuanji, then the chance of her popping her head out when he’s busy bullying Little Yuli or having some private conversation with his Junior Sister would not be slim.

And besides, having the Netherqueen stay at the Inn also had its own advantages. With her Peak Tribulation Crossing stage cultivation foundation, as long as he’s able to convince her to spend some of her time helping him, his means of obtaining the future changing luck might increase significantly. At the very least, the margin for his future to turn for the worse should be much smaller.

Plus, there was also the little white loli he had obtained for the huge cost of 20 Star-Moon Jade.

Still, her ability is worth the price.

So far, as long as these Peak Tribulation Crossing cultivators combine their force to help him, he gets a feeling that he can stir the course of the future changing luck into a good luck that can bring him endless fortune instead of tragedies.

Thinking of this, Luo Wusheng’s mood became even brighter. Although there were many things that happened last night that made him nearly cross over to the other side, his gains outweighed the losses.

First of all, he had been able to successfully rescue the Netherqueen, then, he learned that Yao Ji, the girl that he has been close with with the thought of her to be the Mortal Alter Ego of the Immortal Nation Empress, turned out to be the former Monarch of the Netherkin Nation, 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, rather than causing him harm, her action caused him to realize that she’s the real Mortal Alter Ego of the Immortal Nation Empress, this knowledge opened the possible path for him to improve his standing in the eyes of both the Empress Imperial Alter Ego and Taoist Alter Ego.

And lastly, the fact that he would most likely have a meeting with the Immortal Nation Empress, 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 the job that the Empress were giving him is the the kind of job where he doesn’t have to do anything all day, the one where he just need to attend meetings a few times a year and then get paid, he would seriously 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.

So far, 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.

Her desk was piled high with documents, and the sight of it gave the Empress a headache.

But considering that she had been able to keep the Immortal Nation stable till now, especially having survived the chaotic moment during the sudden 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 Netherqueen was sealed by the previous Emperor under the Ascending Immortality Lake, the Netherkin Nation had been at odds with the Immortal Nation, and naturally, the Immortal Nation had been on guard against them. The Netherkin Nation had spent three years preparing to plot a hidden attack 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 Netherkin Nation hidden plan in the Royal City, rendering the Nether In Nation 3 years worth of preparation useless. All still hiding most of the Immortal Nation trump card, the best they had shown are her ability to easily slay multiple Nascent Soul cultivators and the 2 Tribulation Crossing cultivator.

As for the matter of the Netherqueen’s escape… The matter regarding the Netherkin Nation former Monarch who are now free is quite concerning, but it’s still within the manageable limit.

Although the Immortal Nation no longer had the powerhouse which was the previous Emperor, if the Immortal Nation were truly in dire straits, the Taoist sect would not stand idly by.

“Still, the ease in which the Netherqueen escapes is quite suspicious… Perhaps one of the missing Great Netherfiend has solidified their existence back into this world? That would explain why despite having been sealed for so long, it’s only last night that the Netherqueen are being rescued.”

The Empress’s gaze flickered to the side, her mind thinking about the numerous possibilities.

Although she was only at the Nascent Soul stage, she was still the ruler of the current Human Race biggest Nation, furthermore, her Taoist Alter Ego, Ji Yanyao, also has a rather high standing in the Taoist Sect, which allowed her to know many secrets that are not revealed to the public.

Shaking her head, the Empress stopped thinking about the Netherqueen 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 when she became the Empress.

However, as she looked at this seemingly perfect dragon-shaped starlight, the 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 of the Immortal Nation for so long and had seen countless records related to the Dragon Fortune. However, she had never come across any record that mentioned it undergoing such changes.

Could it be that there was some unforeseen event last night that she was unaware of? Something that had caused her Dragon Fortune to undergo this change?

But that should be impossible, this Dragon Fortune are not those ownerless Dragon Fortune that appear when a Nation is made or when a new Monarch ascend to the throne, it’s the Dragon Fortune that she had refined into her Imperial Alter Ego when she become the Empress, what kind of event could make the refined Dragon Fortune undergo such change?

She fell into confusion.

Fortunately, the change in the Dragon Fortune was not significant, considering the total amount of Dragon Fortune she had refined into her Imperial Alter Ego, it should be fine to shelve investigating this matter and focus on some other thing.

One of which is the Demon Sect Holy Saint.

“Luo Wusheng…”

The Empress murmured the Holy Saint name softly, the image of a handsome young man appeared into her mind.
