“How is that possible!” Farah’s expression changed when she saw the black magic that was instantly absorbed by the girl opposite her.
“Who are you? You’re obviously an Easterner, so why do you know the magic here?” Farah seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes widened. “Did you obtain the inheritance of the Light Magus?!”
“Light Magus.” Chu Luo repeated these words. Suddenly, she curled her lips and nodded seriously. “Yes, I am the successor of the Light Magus. Now, I am prepared to destroy you on behalf of the Light.”
After saying that, she called out to Phoenix in her heart.
In the next moment, a red light appeared and quickly surrounded the black magic crystal in Farah’s hand.
Farah’s eyes widened when she saw her black magic crystal surrounded by red light.
In the next moment, she quickly chanted a string of incantations.
Just as the red light was about to absorb the black magic inside the crystal, Farah panicked and disappeared after a string of incantations.
“Trying to escape? Not so easy!”
Chu Luo quickly chased her outside.
When she reached the door, a large group of black-cloaked men attacked her.
Chu Luo was tripped and had to deal with these black-cloaked men first.
While she was dealing with these black-cloaked men, Farah fled.
Chu Luo stood there and was a little angry. “When I finish making the robot, I can deal with all of them at the same time, no matter how many of them there are.”
At this moment, a low and hoarse voice came from behind. “This person won’t escape far.”
“Eh?” Chu Luo turned to look at Li Yan and asked, “How did you know?”
Li Yan walked up to her and looked at her angry face. He raised his hand to touch her.
When Chu Luo saw his hand, she jumped in fright and quickly leaned back, but she didn’t retreat.
“What are you doing?”
Li Yan turned around and wrapped his arm around her waist.
Chu Luo raised her hand and pushed him.
Li Yan said softly, “Don’t move. Let me hold you for a while.”
After saying that, he pulled her close and leaned his chin on her head.
Chu Luo listened to his steady and strong heartbeat and thought, ‘Seeing as you’re so pitiful tonight and also need comfort, I won’t argue with you.’
Li Yan realized that the petite woman in his arms wasn’t resisting and couldn’t help but smile.
Chu Luo was hugged for a while. Seeing that Li Yan wasn’t letting go, she knocked his shoulder with her forehead in dissatisfaction. “Are you done? I still have to go after that old woman.”
“That person is inside the castle. She won’t escape.”
“How do you know?”
Chu Luo felt a little strange.
“Tonight’s banquet was a trap set up by the Queen. She captured me and wanted me to hand Blazing Glory to her.”
Chu Luo snorted. “Hmph! That person is dreaming. Why must you hand your things to her?”
Li Yan smiled and pointed at her. “It’s ours… You’re still my wife right now. What’s mine is yours.”
It would have been fine if he hadn’t mentioned this, but Chu Luo got angry when he did.
However, before she could flare up, Li Yan said above her head, “If we cancel our marriage, half of my assets will go to you. This is a rule set by the imperial marriage law.”
“Really?”
There was actually such a good thing?
Chu Luo quickly looked up at him from his arms, her eyes sparkling.
Li Yan looked down at Chu Luo, who had instantly turned into a money-grubber, and nodded. “Really.”
Chu Luo rolled her eyes. In that case, she couldn’t let the Queen take away Blazing Glory.
She asked, “What are we going to do now?”
“…” Realistic little thing. “Take me to the King’s bedroom.”
“Mm?”
“I discovered something at the banquet today. I plan to verify it.”
“Where is the King’s chamber?”
“About five kilometers east of here, 45 degrees.”
“…”
“What?”
“You remember it so clearly.”
Li Yan glanced at her embarrassed expression and tightened his grip on her waist.
Chu Luo then remembered that she was still being hugged and immediately struggled out of his arms.
This time, Li Yan didn’t pull her back.
Chu Luo glanced at the east side of the castle.
Li Yan started to tell her the route and the more guarded spots. In the end, he said, “It’s best if we didn’t alert anyone.”
Chu Luo nodded and led him towards the lake.
The two of them walked to the lake and Li Yan looked at her.
Chu Luo thought for a while and quickly took out a talisman from her Heaven-and-Earth pouch and threw it into the water.
Soon, the talisman became bigger and wider.
Chu Luo gestured at him. “Jump on it.”
After saying that, she jumped up first.
Li Yan followed suit.
The talisman moved without wind and quickly floated towards the opposite shore like a boat.
Once they were ashore, Chu Luo handed Li Yan another talisman. “We’ll go there invisibly.”
…
In the King’s palace.
It was already 3 AM, close to 4, but the King had yet to go to rest.
At this moment, a woman’s voice could be heard coming from his palace.
“Father, why did you let Mother lock Li up? Could it be that you agree with Mother and intend to take the Blazing Glory Corporation for yourself?”
The King’s tone was stern. “Anya, is this something a daughter should say to her father? You came to me in the middle of the night to question me about this?!”
“Father, I can’t stand it anymore! As the royal family, do we have to do such a thing?”
“Anya, watch your tone.”
In the living room of the King’s bedroom, the King, who was over 50 years old, sat on his throne.
In front of him stood a woman who was 23 or 24 years old. The woman had a head of especially beautiful golden curly hair and a charming face. She was a real beauty.
She was the King’s youngest daughter, Anya.
Anya’s expression was filled with confusion, anger, and a trace of disappointment.
“Father, why have you become like this…? In the past, you often warned us that as members of the royal family, we have to think about the reputation of the royal family with every word and action.
“Many people know that Mother invited Li to attend the banquet. Do you think you can really do such a thing without anyone knowing?”
The king didn’t look good. He slammed the armrest of his chair and said, “You don’t have to worry about these things. You just have to be a good princess.”
“Father!”
“Get out, I’m going to rest!”
“I won’t… If you don’t let go of Li today, I’ll stay here and not leave.”
“Anya, did I pamper you too much in the past that you don’t even understand the most basic courtesy?”
The father-and-daughter duo turned red with anger as they spoke.
Anya’s eyes turned red, and the King’s face darkened.
At that moment, a familiar voice came from outside. “Your Majesty, let’s talk.”
While the King and Anya were staring at the door in disbelief, Li Yan pushed the door open and walked in with Chu Luo.
The King and Anya asked at the same time, “How did you get in?!”
One had to know that there were dozens, or even a hundred, guards outside. Did they not notice these two people?
The King’s expression instantly became serious. “Li Yan, how dare you barge into my bedroom? And who’s that girl beside you? Do you think I can’t get the guards to come in and arrest you?!”
After the surprise, Anya’s eyes were filled with this expression. “Li, it’s great that you can get out of that house on the island in the middle of the lake.”
After saying that, she suddenly saw his legs and raised her voice in surprise. “Li, your legs have recovered!”
Chu Luo quietly glanced at the surprised Anya and narrowed her eyes. She felt inexplicably unhappy.
The King didn’t expect his daughter to side with outsiders like this. His face darkened and he told her off. “Anya, shut up.”
Anya reluctantly shut her mouth.
The King then looked at Li Yan with the dignity of a ruler.
He first glanced at Li Yan’s legs before shifting his gaze to his cold face.
The two of them stared at each other. Instantly, saber flashes and sword shadows appeared, and a fierce cold wind seemed to blow around.
Chu Luo looked at the two of them and couldn’t stand it anymore. She said, “Can’t you speak immediately? I still want to go back to sleep.”
The three of them looked at Chu Luo at the same time.
Anya finally looked at her squarely and asked in a displeased tone, “Who are you?”
“I’m…” Chu Luo realized that she disliked the woman opposite her even more. Her eyes shifted and she pointed at Li Yan while saying an earth-shattering sentence. “Li Yan is mine to manage. Who do you think I am?”
The King and Anya fell into a dead silence.
In the next moment, Li Yan laughed softly in pleasure.
The laughter was deep and pleasant to listen to.
Anya looked at Li Yan in disbelief.
“Li, you actually know how to laugh!”
Li Yan quickly retracted his smile and looked at the King sternly. “Your Majesty, my wife wants to go back and rest early, so we’ll resolve this matter as soon as possible.”
Without giving the King a chance to speak, he continued, “I know you’re afraid of the Queen… oh, no, that woman who looks like the Queen.”
The King was shocked to hear this.
Anya widened her eyes and exclaimed, “Li, what do you mean?”
Chu Luo said coldly, “Li Yan, you mean that the current Queen isn’t the real Queen…? To think that you’re a princess. Don’t you understand what he was saying?”
Anya choked on Chu Luo’s rude words. She thought to herself, ‘This girl is so annoying!’
In the next second, she raised her voice. “You’re saying that my mother isn’t my real mother!”
The King glanced at the startled Anya and said in a low voice, “Anya, watch your manners!”
Anya was so anxious that she was about to cry. How could she still pay attention to her demeanor? However, looking at the two people opposite her, she still closed her mouth.
Li Yan asked, “Your Majesty, why don’t we make a deal?”
“What can you use to make a deal with me!” The King was displeased. To think he couldn’t even suppress a young man. It was a great humiliation.
Li Yan continued, “We’ll help you get rid of that woman.”
“How is that possible!” The King suddenly became very agitated. “She has powerful magic. If we anger her, everyone in our entire castle will be finished.”
Anya tilted her head and looked at the King in disbelief.
Li Yan didn’t explain. He turned to Chu Luo and said, “Luoluo, think of a way to make His Majesty believe in your ability.”
Chu Luo nodded at him and grinned mischievously. “No problem. Watch me.”
