 Chapter 1

    Bang!


    A black shadow descended from the sky and smashed into the ground. It stirred up a cloud of dust.


    The residents, who were already trembling in fear, were immediately shocked. They watched warily at the rising smoke.


    Under everyone¡¯s terrified gazes, a figure slowly crawled up from the ground, cursing.


    ¡°F*ck, it hurts! Is this floor made of stone?¡±


    Lei Yuan was dazed. Just as he got up from the ground, he subconsciously reached forward to touch his bed, but there was nothing there.


    ¡°F*ck, where¡¯s my bed?!¡±


    His perfectly fine bed had suddenly disappeared. Lei Yuan shuddered and immediately woke up. When finally he saw his surroundings clearly, his face was filled with disbelief.


    ¡®Where is this place? Wasn¡¯t I at home? Am I still asleep?¡¯


    Lei Yuan¡¯s mind went blank. Before he could react, he heard someone shouting anxiously from afar.


    ¡°Run! The people of the Aoli Empire and that evil dragon have arrived!¡±


    ¡®Dragon? What dragon? There¡¯re dragons here? Did I transmigrate?!¡¯


    Lei Yuan was dumbfounded. He subconsciously raised his head and looked behind him, only to meet the blood-red gaze of the ¡°evil dragon¡±.


    ¡°F*ck! There really is a dragon! Mommy, save me!¡±


    At this moment, Lei Yuan did not care if this was reality or a dream. He ran away without hesitation.


    What a joke! His puny body would not even be enough to fill the gaps between the dragon¡¯s teeth!


    Seeing that he was about to catch up with the crowd, Lei Yuan was about to sigh in relief and grin when his expression suddenly froze.


    A pair of hands reached out from nowhere and pushed him hard from behind!


    Bang!


    The ground was uneven due to the chaos of war. Lei Yuan did not even have time to react before his knee slammed into a sharp rock. Lei Yuan¡¯s face turned pale as he felt the pain.


    ¡®F*ck, it hurts! It felt so real. Did I really transmigrate?¡¯


    This thought flashed through Lei Yuan¡¯s mind, but he soon lost the mood to think about it, because the massive dragon behind was almost upon him!


    Lei Yuan¡¯s eyes widened, and fear crept into his heart in an instant.


    ¡®It¡¯s over, it¡¯s over, I¡¯m going to die! Can someone come and save me? Anyone will do!¡¯


    However, God did not hear his call. The huge figure was still approaching him.


    With death looming over him, despair overwhelmed Lei Yuan, and he closed his eyes in sorrow.


    ¡®If there is a next life, I would definitely¡­ Huh?¡¯


    The expected pain did not come. Instead, he felt a moist feeling between his fingers. It was as if something was licking his hand.


    Suddenly opening his eyes, Lei Yuan found himself face to face with a small and cute version of the ¡°evil dragon¡±.


    Sensing Lei Yuan¡¯s gaze, the dragon let out a happy cry. ¡°Roar!¡±


    ¡®F*ck! The dragon became smaller! And it¡¯s licking my finger!¡¯


    Lei Yuan¡¯s mind went blank in an instant. He subconsciously raised his hand and swung it. The dragon that had been licking his finger happily was flung off. Following a loud thud, it fell unconscious in front of the dumbfounded soldiers!


    Meanwhile, Lei Yuan was unaware of the great deed he had just accomplished. After scrambling and crawling a distance, he finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was chasing him.


    ¡®I¡¯m still alive!¡¯


    Realizing this, Lei Yuan almost cried tears of joy. However, the moment he was distracted, he tripped again, and Lei Yuan once again made intimate contact with the ground.


    After seeing what had tripped him, Lei Yuan was speechless and wanted to curse.


    ¡®Why is there a sword on the ground?¡¯ he thought to himself as he picked up the weapon.


    Just as Lei Yuan was about to throw it away with a roll of his eyes, an electronic mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his ear.


    ¡°Ding! Detected. The weapon in your hand is a god-tier weapon, the Holy Thunder Sword. Please drip a drop of blood on it to activate it.¡±


    A half-second late on the uptake, Lei Yuan was stunned for a moment before he belatedly became excited.


    ¡®It¡¯s here, it¡¯s really here! The transmigration hack!¡¯


    Although he did not know how awesome a god-tier weapon was, it sounded extraordinary. At this moment, Lei Yuan could not care about anything else. He bit his fingertip and dripped the blood onto the sword.


    Boom!


    As soon as the drop of blood landed on the sword, the once gray blade instantly erupted with a strong light that spread out in all directions with Lei Yuan as the center. At the same time, there was also a loud clap of thunder!


    ¡°What¡¯s that?!¡±


    For a moment, everyone looked over.


    When they saw the sword in Lei Yuan¡¯s hand, everyone was shocked. Only a divine artifact could cause such a huge commotion!


    The people of the Aoli Empire were also attracted by this ruckus. However, when they saw what Lei Yuan was holding, their eyes widened.


    ¡°A divine artifact? They have a divine artifact?! Retreat, quickly retreat! These bastards are playing dirty!¡±


    A high priest of the Aoli Empire could not care less about his conduct at this moment. He retreated hurriedly, and his face was full of fear and panic.


    Fortunately, they had not even breached the city gates yet. Otherwise, even if they brought twice the number of soldiers, they would not be able to withstand the power of the divine artifact¡¯s attack!


    The Aoli Empire came in a menacing manner, but left very quickly. However, the person who caused their retreat was not aware of their situation. Just as he was about to happily hug the divine artifact that he had obtained through sheer stroke of luck, a gentle voice suddenly called out to him.


    ¡°Are you the warrior with the divine artifact?¡±


    Turning to look in the direction of the voice, Lei Yuan saw a young girl in a white robe slowly walk toward him with the rest of the crowd surrounding her.


    Meeting Lei Yuan¡¯s gaze, the girl smiled.


    ¡°I haven¡¯t introduced myself yet. I¡¯m the Queen of the Aifell Empire, Ofia.¡±


    ¡­


    Under Ofia¡¯s kind invitation, Lei Yuan followed her to the palace.


    Looking at the young and beautiful queen in front of him, Lei Yuan frowned, and vigilance flashed across his face.


    Ofia naturally did not miss the expression on Lei Yuan¡¯s face, but she did not care about it. When Lei Yuan looked at her again, Ofia smiled faintly.


    ¡°Perhaps my words are a little abrupt, but allow me to take the liberty to speak. I hope to marry you and hand over the country to you after that.¡±


    ¡°Marry?!¡± Lei Yuan thought that he had heard wrongly. He was so shocked that his voice sounded a little hoarse.


    He stared at Ofia in disbelief, trying to find a loophole in her guise.


    ¡®Are you kidding me? Didn¡¯t we just meet? This is too sudden!¡¯


    But Ofia simply nodded firmly. ¡°That¡¯s right, I want to marry you.¡±


    ¡°Wait a minute.¡± Lei Yuan clutched his chest in disbelief. ¡°I need time.¡±


    ¡°Alright then.¡± Ofia could see that the current situation was somewhat unbelievable to Lei Yuan, so she nodded her head in understanding. ¡°Then, I¡¯ll come back later.¡±


    Watching Ofia¡¯s graceful departure, Lei Yuan took a while to come back to his senses. His face was full of melancholy.


    In his previous life, he had never even held a girl¡¯s hand. After transmigrating, he was actually proposed to by one?


    Lei Yuan was filled with emotions. Before he could think of anything else, the disembodied voice appeared in his ears again.


    ¡°Detected. You have successfully activated the divine artifact. The system is activating¡­¡±


    Lei Yuan¡¯s spirit was instantly jolted when he heard the voice.


    ¡®Here it comes!¡¯

    Soon, under Lei Yuan¡¯s anxious gaze, a virtual screen appeared in front of him.


    ¡°Ding! The system has been successfully activated. Congratulations to you for successfully signing a contract with the system. The system will serve you wholeheartedly.¡±


    As soon as the system finished speaking, Lei Yuan¡¯s personal attribute panel suddenly appeared on the once blank electronic screen.


    [Host: Lei Yuan]


    [Genre: Male]


    [Body height: 180 cm]


    [Level: 1/100]


    [Intellect: 100/500]


    [Stamina: 50/1000]


    [Charm: 10000/10000]


    [Luck: 10000/10000]


    Lei Yuan looked around curiously, his gaze quickly attracted by the only two attributes on the panel that were maxed.


    ¡°Why are only these two attributes full?¡±


    ¡°This is a newbie benefit for you, dear host.¡± The system sounded a little proud. ¡°When your level increases, there will be even more generous rewards waiting for you.¡±


    ¡°I see.¡± Lei Yuan nodded. No wonder the evil dragon was so obedient when it saw him. It was because his Charm was all filled up.


    Lei Yuan was about to continue asking the system what he should do to level up when there was a sudden commotion outside the door. Soon, the tightly shut door was forcefully pushed open, and a tall and burly knight barged in aggressively.


    ¡°You are the one they call Lei Yuan, whom the Queen proposed to?¡± Te Lunduo glared at Lei Yuan arrogantly, and his tone was full of contempt.


    ¡°I advise you to give up on this idea! In the whole empire, only I can stand next to Her Majesty!¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡± Lei Yuan, who had been inexplicably looked down on, was also a little unhappy. He glanced at Te Lunduo with a smile that did not reach his eyes. ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then why didn¡¯t Her Majesty propose to you?¡±


    ¡®What an arrogant brat!¡¯


    Te Lunduo was so angry that his nose scrunched up. With a swoosh, he pulled out the sword at his waist.


    ¡°You have a glib tongue! I¡¯ll beat you to the ground today and let Her Majesty see your true colors!¡±


    As he spoke, Te Lunduo was about to strike at Lei Yuan.


    Lei Yuan remained calm on the surface, but in his mind, he was frantically asking the system for help.


    ¡®System? Yoohoo!¡¯


    If it had not been an opportunity to test the system¡¯s ability, he would not have accepted the other party¡¯s provocation so easily. Fortunately, the system was very helpful at the critical moment.


    ¡°Host, don¡¯t panic! You currently have 143 Evolution Points. You can use 100 Evolution Points to win this match. Host, do you wish to use it?¡±


    ¡°Yes, use it!¡± Lei Yuan agreed without thinking.


    In the next second, a mysterious feeling swam through his body. The Holy Thunder Sword by his side also resonated with him. It was as if this sword was made to be his.


    ¡°Ha!¡± Lei Yuan shouted, and the sword blade hummed in response.


    As the tip of Te Lunduo¡¯s sword approached him, Lei Yuan calmly held the Holy Thunder Sword in his hand. The silver-white sword swayed gently. Lei Yuan clearly did not have to use much strength, but the air felt inexplicably heavier.


    Te Lunduo did not even see how Lei Yuan moved before a gravitational force hit him and sent him flying.


    Bang!


    By the time Te Lunduo realized it, he had already fallen to the ground.


    ¡°You¡­!¡± Te Lunduo¡¯s eyes were filled with bewilderment. As reckless as he was, he finally realized how powerful Lei Yuan was.


    Lei Yuan himself was stunned, as he did not expect that he would be able to send someone flying with a single blow. However, he quickly came back to his senses and put on an air of profoundness.


    ¡°Is there anything else you wish to say?¡±


    ¡°No, no!¡± Te Lunduo hurriedly shook his head. ¡°I was blind before. I hope you won¡¯t hold it against me!¡±


    Lei Yuan felt great when he saw the man¡¯s change in attitude. Before he could say anything more, Ofia, who had heard the commotion, hurried over.


    When she saw the scene in front of her, even if she was not here during the fight, Ofia understood. She immediately looked at Lei Yuan apologetically. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry for troubling you. I will teach him a lesson.¡±


    Lei Yuan waved his hand and did not take it to heart. ¡°It¡¯s fine. He can¡¯t hurt me.¡±


    Seeing Lei Yuan¡¯s magnanimity, Ofia looked at him with an even gentler gaze. ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, I think we should get married as soon as possible. I¡¯ve asked the priest. It is acceptable to get married in three days.¡±


    Lei Yuan felt a little helpless, as he did not expect the Queen to still insist on marrying him. ¡°Your Majesty, why do you insist on marrying me? We¡¯ve only just met, and we don¡¯t have any romantic feelings for each other. Isn¡¯t it inappropriate to get married so rashly?¡±


    ¡°Why not? I¡¯m the Queen. Do you despise me?¡± Ofia frowned, and her expression showed her slight embarrassment.


    Just as Lei Yuan was about to say something, a soldier suddenly rushed over in panic.


    ¡°Grave news, Your Majesty! That evil dragon has gone berserk!¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Ofia¡¯s expression changed instantly. ¡°Wasn¡¯t it already under control?¡±


    ¡°Yes, but our efforts were in vain!¡± The soldier¡¯s face was pale, and his eyes were filled with fear. He darted a glance at Lei Yuan. ¡°When the evil dragon couldn¡¯t see Lord Hero, it transformed into its original form and broke the cage in an instant!¡±


    Hearing this, Ofia did not stall any longer. She got up to get to the cell. ¡°Is the Captain of the Guard there?¡±


    Just as she took a step forward, Lei Yuan reached out his hand and stopped her.


    ¡°Your Majesty, I think you heard what the soldier said.¡± Lei Yuan had a smile on his face, but the threat in his words was clear to everyone. ¡°Now, only I can control this evil dragon. If you insist on marrying me, then I will have to leave.¡±


    ¡°This¡­¡± Hearing this, many emotions flashed across Ofia¡¯s face. In the end, she stared at Lei Yuan with a complicated look. Naturally, she had her own thoughts about marrying Lei Yuan. But she never would have imagined that he would not agree to marry her.


    After comparing the threat of the evil dragon to Lei Yuan¡¯s threat, Ofia hesitated for a long time before reluctantly acceding to the latter.


    ¡°Since you don¡¯t agree with the marriage, I won¡¯t force you. Please subdue the dragon quickly.¡±


    Although Lei Yuan could see Ofia¡¯s unwillingness, he did not care. With so many witnesses here, he was not afraid of the Queen going back on her word.


    However, to avoid any more trouble, Lei Yuan immediately followed the soldiers to the place where the evil dragon was imprisoned.


    It was not until they reached the prison cell that Lei Yuan experienced for himself how destructive the evil dragon was.


    The chains were so strong that even a sharp axe could not break them, but before the evil dragon¡¯s might, they were as easy to break as a strand of hair. The soldiers in the area were still trying to use their swords to attack, but they could not even cut its scales.


    Just as everyone was beginning to feel despair, they saw Lei Yuan stand in front of the evil dragon. With a gentle wave of his hand, the evil dragon that was wreaking havoc earlier instantly transformed into a cute mini version of itself and jumped into Lei Yuan¡¯s arms.


    ¡°Roar~¡± the evil dragon cried out happily. Its tail and small claws clutched Lei Yuan¡¯s clothes tightly, afraid that he would leave it behind again.


    Everyone who witnessed this became speechless.


    What were all their efforts for? If they had known earlier that it would turn out like this, they would not have thought twice about asking the Lord Hero to come over!

    Touching the dragon in his arms, Lei Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.


    Although he knew that he had the system¡¯s buff of the maxed Charm attribute, Lei Yuan still felt subconsciously afraid when he faced the dragon again. Fortunately, the evil dragon was quite interested in him and became small and docile.


    Ofia, who was standing at the side, watched as Lei Yuan subdued the dragon once again. Her beautiful eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, since you don¡¯t wish to marry me, I have some secret manuals that might be suitable for you.¡±


    Naturally, Ofia could tell that Lei Yuan did not have any combat power. Since marriage was a dead end, she would rather find another way to make Lei Yuan stay.


    ¡®Secret manuals?¡¯ The term puzzled Lei Yuan.


    From how calm he looked, Ofia thought that Lei Yuan did not care about secret manuals, so she gritted her teeth and said, ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, the royal family has a secret manual for a technique known as the Dragon¡¯s Roar Technique. I¡¯m willing to repay you with this.¡±


    Although Ofia did not explain it in detail, Lei Yuan quickly figured it out. The secret manual she mentioned should be a cultivation technique. In other words, he could cultivate!


    Lei Yuan¡¯s heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged.


    ¡°That is fine. However, I have to deal with the dragon first.¡±


    ¡°Naturally.¡± Seeing that Lei Yuan was not planning to leave, Ofia heaved a sigh of relief.


    ¡­


    After returning to his room, Lei Yuan could not wait to ask the system.


    ¡°Is the Dragon¡¯s Roar Technique that the Queen mentioned useful to me?¡±


    ¡°The Dragon¡¯s Roar Technique?¡± The system was startled for a moment before it responded in a voice filled with disdain, ¡°You have the nerve to take on such a lousy thing? It¡¯s better to cultivate the secret manuals of the system than to cultivate those things¡ª¡±


    ¡°You have secret manuals too?!¡± Lei Yuan was surprised for a moment, but he quickly realized something. This system was a cheat anyway, how could it not have its own secret manuals?


    ¡°Then how do I exchange for the secret manuals in the system?¡±


    ¡°If you want to exchange for a secret manual, he needs to use Evolution Points.¡± After being interrupted earlier, the system finally had the time to explain its functions. ¡°As for Evolution Points, you can obtain them in many ways.


    ¡°For example, you currently have 43 Evolution Points. This is the remaining Evolution Points after deducting the points obtained from subduing the evil dragon. The higher the level of the species that you recover, the more Evolution Points he would obtain.


    ¡°After exchanging for a secret manual, you can begin cultivating. The system will also give you a certain number of Cultivation Points for each level of cultivation achieved. At the moment, you are only at Level 1. When you cultivate to Level 5, the system will give you 500 Cultivation Points.¡±


    Lei Yuan listened attentively and finally understood the specific function of the system. Taking a deep breath, Lei Yuan¡¯s eyes burned with a sudden intensity.


    ¡°How many secret manuals can I exchange for with my current Evolution Points?¡±


    ¡°One book costs 40 Evolution Points. Host, do you wish to exchange for a manual?¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡±


    As soon as he finished speaking, a white light flashed in front of Lei Yuan¡¯s eyes, and a book called Lightning Control instantly appeared in his mind.


    In high spirits, Lei Yuan sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.


    The dragon that had been cradled in his arms crawled out.It was hungry.


    Because it had been hiding in Lei Yuan¡¯s clothes, the system had not detected the dragon. When it finally came out, the system started to identify it automatically.


    [Species: Devil Flame Dragon]


    [Rank: High-rank Spiritual Beast]


    [Food: Spirit crystals]


    [Status: Famished]


    Lei Yuan saw the introduction of the dragon as soon as he finished his cultivation. After noticing that the dragon was hungry, Lei Yuan asked the system, ¡°What are spirit crystals?¡±


    ¡°Spirit crystals are a type of stone that contains a large amount of spiritual energy. Apart from being loved by spirit beasts, it can also assist in cultivation. With the help of spirit crystals, cultivation would be more convenient.


    ¡°Of course, you can also use Cultivation Points to exchange for spirit crystals. 1 Cultivation Point could be exchanged for a high-grade spirit crystal.¡±


    ¡°1 Cultivation Point for one spirit crystal?¡± Lei Yuan clicked his tongue. This was a little too expensive.


    The dragon was unaware of Lei Yuan¡¯s inner struggle. When it saw Lei Yuan open his eyes, it happily wagged its tail and jumped into his arms, licking his face with its wet tongue.


    ¡°That¡¯s itchy. Stop fooling around.¡± Lei Yuan held it down in amusement. When he met the dragon¡¯s misty red eyes, he could not help but sigh and mutter to himself, ¡°Forget it. Who asked me to subdue you? I¡¯ll just treat you as a pet.¡±


    Shaking his head, Lei Yuan asked the system for a few spirit crystals and tossed them to the dragon.


    When it saw the delicious food drop from mid-air, the dragon cheered and wagged its tail even more happily.


    ¡­


    After dismissing the others, Ofia sat at her desk to handle affairs of state. Her lady-in-waiting, Suo Ya, who had been by her side, tried to hold back her curiosity, but she eventually gave in.


    ¡°Your Majesty, why do you insist on keeping that warrior?¡±


    Although Lei Yuan had saved their country and indeed deserved Her Majesty¡¯s gratitude, regardless, Ofia was still their Queen. She could not yield to a man by asking him to marry her repeatedly. Moreover, Lei Yuan¡¯s intention to reject her was very obvious. Even Suo Ya could see it. She did not believe that the Queen would be oblivious to it, either.


    Hearing Suo Ya¡¯s doubts, Ofia sighed softly, and a deep tiredness flashed across her face.¡±Suo Ya, do you know that our Aifell Empire sealed off the Demon Clan five hundred years ago?¡±


    ¡°Of course.¡±


    This was a well-known story in Aifell that even a three-year-old child knew about it. But Suo Ya did not understand why Ofia would bring this up.


    ¡°Does this matter have anything to do with you wanting to keep the warrior?¡±


    ¡°Yes,¡± Ofia replied softly. She got up and went to the window. She looked at the bright moon in the sky and became a little lost in its beauty.


    ¡°Back then, our ancestors sealed the Demon Clan at the cost of their lives. Everyone thought that the matter was over. However, the demons were not willing to give up. At the cost of his own life, one of their leaders put a curse on Aifell.


    ¡°¡®In five hundred years, a child with the mark of the red dragon will be born in the Aifell Empire. Moreover, the child would lose consciousness on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony and open the seal of the Demon Clan. At that time, the entire world would be occupied by the Demon Clan. And this child would also be reduced to a puppet of the demons.''¡±


    Ofia paused and turned to look at Suo Ya, the corners of her mouth twitched.


    ¡°I am the cursed child.¡±


    ¡°How can that be?!¡± Sonya was stunned and stuttered, ¡°I-It must be a fake curse. How is this possible?¡±


    Ofia calmly loosened her clothing and pushed her collar off her shoulder. Suo Ya wanted to stay in denial, but she was rendered speechless when she saw the dragon mark on Ofia¡¯s shoulder.


    ¡°I had also thought the curse to be fake, but things didn¡¯t go as I wished.¡±


    Ofia put her clothes back on and looked at Suo Ya¡¯s red-rimmed eyes. The Queen smiled calmly. ¡°Perhaps God doesn¡¯t want me to become a sinner so easily, so he sent Lei Yuan to us. When I saw that he could actually make that evil dragon listen to him, I thought that he might be able to help me break this curse.¡±


    When she thought of the solution that was passed down to her, Ofia blushed and felt embarrassed.She needed to marry Lei Yuan as soon as possible and get pregnant before she became an adult. Then, she would use a secret technique to give birth to the child on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony. Only with the blood of the baby¡¯s heart would the curse be lifted.


    ¡­


    The miniaturized dragon on the door acted as a medium. Ofia¡¯s beautiful but firm voice came from inside the room and traveled into Lei Yuan¡¯s ears. He finally understood why the Queen was so insistent on marrying him.


    ¡®So, she wants to use me as a tool.¡¯


    Lei Yuan furrowed his brows tightly. The good impression he had of Ofia had completely vanished.He did not have a special fondness for being used as an instrument by others!


    Lei Yuan wanted to turn and leave, but he paused when he thought of the secret manuals that Ofia had promised him.


    It was impossible for him to accept becoming a pawn, but he would not turn down the free cheats or secret manuals.


    After the voices in the room gradually died down, Lei Yuan calmly knocked on Ofia¡¯s door.


    When Suo Ya opened the door and saw Lei Yuan, she was stunned for a moment. ¡°Lord Hero, it¡¯s quite late. Is there something urgent you need?¡±


    Lei Yuan smiled politely.


    ¡°Nothing much. I just came to borrow some secret manuals from the Queen.¡±

    ¡°Is it Warrior Lei Yuan?¡±


    When she heard Lei Yuan¡¯s voice, Ofia was stunned. Then, she recalled the conversation they had had earlier that day and smiled.


    ¡°Suo Ya, let him in.¡±


    Lei Yuan walked into the room. Ofia pointed at the stack of books on the table.


    ¡°The secret manuals there range from low-level to high-level techniques, all of which can be used to cultivate the physique.¡±


    ¡°Thank you.¡±


    Looking at the dozen books in front of him, Lei Yuan could guess that Ofia was using the excuse of cultivation to keep him in the palace. But he had planned to cultivate anyway, so it did not matter if he stayed here for a few more days.


    After thanking Ofia, Lei Yuan rushed back to his own room and began to diligently cultivate.


    In the modern era where he was from, Lei Yuan had never come into contact with such things. Therefore, even he was not aware that his talent for cultivation in this world he had transmigrated to was extremely high.


    Although the secret manuals that Ofia had provided were very basic, there were at least a dozen of them.


    Ordinary cultivators would usually require at least a year and a half to figure out one basic technique. However, Lei Yuan only spent half a month to completely understand all of these secret manuals.


    ¡­


    When Lei Yuan returned the books to Ofia, she was a little confused.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Warrior Lei Yuan? Are these secret manuals not suitable for you?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s not that.¡± Lei Yuan rubbed his nose in embarrassment and chuckled, ¡°I just finished reading them and wanted to ask if you have any other secret manuals.¡±


    ¡°You finished reading all of them!?¡± Ofia¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief.


    Lei Yuan did not think there was anything wrong with what he said. But after he saw the shock on Ofia¡¯s face, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Am I too slow?¡±


    As expected of the Queen, Ofia recomposed herself. ¡°No, you¡¯re not slow at all!¡±


    After realizing Lei Yuan¡¯s talent, Ofia was so excited that her breathing started to quicken. Such a genius would definitely help her break the curse!


    Her heart was filled with the desire for him, and Ofia¡¯s attitude toward Lei Yuan was even gentler. ¡°Since you¡¯ve finished reading all this, what other secret manuals do you want to read? I¡¯ll send someone to find it for you.¡±


    Although there were more in the palace, they were secret manuals belonging to the royal family. No matter how much hope Ofia had for Lei Yuan, she would not foolishly give him everything.


    ¡°There is one thing¡­¡±


    Speaking of secret manuals, Lei Yuan did wish to acquire something in particular. While cultivating with the secret manuals that Ofia had given him, Lei Yuan had gradually come to understand this world.


    In this world, other than the secret manuals Ofia had given to Lei Yuan which featured one cultivation method, there was actually a second method.


    Spells are skills that are more inclined toward magicians, and most of them are related to long-range attacks or healing magic.


    After learning about the existence of such secret manuals, Lei Yuan immediately asked the system if he could cultivate it. After receiving an affirmative answer, Lei Yuan became even more assured and bold.


    ¡°I want secret manuals for the cultivation of spells.¡±


    ¡°You want to practice dual cultivation?¡± Ofia¡¯s eyes widened. When Lei Yuan nodded, she immediately tried to dissuade him. ¡°Dual cultivation is very dangerous. It has been a long time since we had a dual cultivator. The most recent one was a hundred years ago, but he died from being torn apart by the backlash of practicing two techniques at the same time.¡±


    Lei Yuan waved his hand indifferently. ¡°Your Majesty, don¡¯t worry. I believe I can do it.¡±


    He had the system with him, so he was not afraid at all. Not to mention, dual cultivation would not only increase his strength, but also double his Cultivation Points. He was not just looking out for his own wellbeing. There was also a dragon beside him who was crying for food.


    The energy that a dragon-type spirit beast required was much greater than what he needed. Only by constantly cultivating and earning Cultivation Points would he gain enough to buy higher quality spirit crystals.


    ¡°But Warrior Lei Yuan, your body is already very strong. Why do you still need to cultivate spells?¡±


    Ofia was still trying to dissuade him, but Lei Yuan had already made up his mind. No matter how much she said, there was no changing his decision. Seeing him like this, Ofia could only grit her teeth and compromise. She agreed to take him to see the archmage of the Aifell Empire.


    As the archmage of an empire, Olo naturally had his own pride. He did not expect Lei Yuan to even consider dual cultivation. His good impression of the warrior instantly disappeared, and there was even a hint of disdain in his heart.


    ¡®He¡¯s just a warrior, yet he¡¯s so arrogant!¡¯ Olo was extremely unhappy. However, this was something that the Queen had personally agreed to. No matter how unwilling Olo was, he could only teach Lei Yuan wholeheartedly.


    It was a different feeling to have someone guiding him from the side compared to reading by himself. Very soon, Lei Yuan felt another force in his body. The difference between this new energy and his body¡¯s original energy was that this new energy was lighter. When it flowed inside his body, he could feel its sensitivity and its fear of the original energy.


    Lei Yuan calmed down and slowly followed the instructions given by the system to merge the two powers together.


    Ofia watched nervously from the side. This was the first time she had seen someone dual cultivate, and her heart was filled with anxiety.


    Time passed bit by bit. Just as Ofia¡¯s anxiety was about to reach its peak, Lei Yuan suddenly opened his eyes. Then, a powerful force spread out from him!


    Boom!


    This power rushed in all directions with great momentum. Even though Olo had reacted quickly, the impact still forced him to cough out a mouthful of blood.


    Lei Yuan had succeeded! He had actually fused two powers together and achieved dual cultivation!


    ¡°Someone actually succeeded in dual cultivation¡­ This is simply, simply¡­¡±


    The servants who could not withstand the power were knocked unconscious. The ones who were still standing gaped at Lei Yuan.


    ¡®There¡¯s finally someone who could dual cultivate!¡¯


    For a moment, the gazes that were on Lei Yuan were filled with shock and disbelief.


    When Lei Yuan recovered and stood up, the system¡¯s voice sounded in his ear.


    ¡°Ding! Congratulations to you for completing dual cultivation. You have received 56 Charm Points and 70 Worship Points. Note: Because your Charm is maxed out, the points obtained for this attribute will be automatically added into your appearance and stamina attributes instead.¡±


    ¡®In other words, as long as I gain the admiration of others, I¡¯ll become more handsome and stronger? This is too awesome!¡¯


    Lei Yuan did not know if it was his imagination, but after the system finished speaking, he felt his body change slightly.


    A woman exclaimed, ¡°Oh my god, why do I feel that Lord Hero has suddenly become so handsome?!¡±


    Lei Yuan¡¯s expression remained calm, but he secretly gave the system a thumbs-up.


    After he bid Ofia farewell and returned to his room, the system gave Lei Yuan another 100 Evolution Points due to his increase in strength. Lei Yuan did not hesitate to exchange them all for new secret manuals.


    After grasping the wonderful feeling of power, Lei Yuan did not delay any longer and began a new session of cultivation in a hurry. By the time he stopped, it was already late that night.


    The dragon was hugging a spirit crystal and sleeping soundly by his side. Lei Yuan, who felt a little tired from his cultivation, suddenly felt a craving for snacks.


    Speaking of which, he had not really tried the delicacies here. At the thought of this, Lei Yuan was immediately energized.


    Since there were very few people in the palace who were his equal, Lei Yuan snuck out of the palace and decided to go for a stroll in the town.


    However, just as he was about to step out of the palace, his vision was suddenly shrouded by a fog. Looking at the surrounding scenery, Lei Yuan did not know whether to laugh or cry.


    He remembered learning that he had initially set up this fog array to prevent others from ambushing him, but he had fallen into it himself.


    Lei Yuan could not help but sigh as he calmly broke through the fog array and continued on his way. The array was actually not that difficult to overcome, as it was mainly used to confuse the minds of enemies. As long as one¡¯s willpower was strong enough, they could easily walk out of the fog.


    However, when Lei Yuan finally walked out of the fog array, a clear voice came from above.


    ¡°Huh? You actually came out of the fog array?¡±

    This voice was different from any other voice Lei Yuan had heard in the palace, and his guard immediately went up. However, before he could look up, a gorgeous figure jumped in front of him. Then, the slightly arrogant voice said again,¡±You¡¯re quite good-looking.¡±


    This time, Lei Yuan could finally see the person in front of him clearly. It was a blonde, petite yet large-breasted girl!


    Looking at the loli, whose height only reached his chest, Lei Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.


    The loli did not care about his thoughts. Her round cat-like eyes continued to stare at Lei Yuan, and her face was filled with indescribable satisfaction. However, the way she spoke was extremely arrogant.


    ¡°I see that you¡¯re quite talented. Then, I¡¯ll reluctantly accept you as my disciple!¡±


    ¡°I refuse.¡±Lei Yuan declined straightaway.


    This loli was not his imagination, but she was genuinely not very bright.


    ¡°You actually rejected me?!¡± The loli widened her eyes in disbelief.


    However, before she could say anything more, Lei Yuan abruptly ran off!


    ¡°You bastard!¡±The loli stomped her feet in anger, but her face was flushed red.


    ¡­


    After eating and drinking his fill, Lei Yuan finally returned to the palace at a leisurely pace. By the time he saw the palace, the sun was already high in the sky.


    Lei Yuan had originally intended to return to his room and continue cultivating. However, when he stepped through the palace doors, his sharp ears overheard snatches of a conversation.


    ¡°¡­Visiting foreign emissary¡­ a banquet¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­Won¡¯t there be a performance to watch?¡±


    It was human nature to want to join the party. Thus, the curious Lei Yuan immediately turned around and walked excitedly toward the banquet hall.


    ¡­


    Inside the palace¡¯s banquet hall, Ofia sat in the seat of honor. The smile on her face was still gentle, but it carried the dignity of a superior.


    ¡°Ambassador Lotti, in your opinion, what is the best way to promote the development between our two countries?¡±


    Lotti also had a polite smile on her face. She was about to answer when her gaze caught Lei Yuan¡¯s face among the crowd. The words that had been on the tip of her tongue instantly changed.


    ¡°If we want our two countries to be more harmonious, the best way is to marry, of course!¡± As she spoke, Lotti pointed at Lei Yuan. ¡°I want him!¡±


    Lei Yuan was dumbfounded. He had just arrived at the banquet hall and had not seen much of the party yet.


    ¡®I just got here and haven¡¯t done anything, so why is everyone looking at me?¡¯


    Ofia did not expect Lotti to say that. The smile on her face froze.


    ¡°Ambassador Lotti, you wish to marry Warrior Lei Yuan?¡±


    ¡®So, that guy is Warrior Lei Yuan?¡¯ Hearing his name, astonishment shone in Lotti¡¯s cat-like eyes. She nodded firmly. ¡°That¡¯s right, I want him!¡±


    After Lei Yuan finally saw Lotti¡¯s appearance, he understood the situation at once.


    ¡®She could not be my master, so now she wants to be my wife? This Lotti is the loli I met earlier!¡¯


    After realizing this, Lei Yuan could not help but curse in his heart. ¡®This is so weird! Are all the women in this world crazy?One or two of them would talk about marriage at the drop of a hat. Is marriage something that can be brought up at any time?¡¯


    Lei Yuan was speechless and immediately rejected her. ¡°I decline.¡±


    He was not interested in getting married whenever he saw a woman.


    Lotti did not expect Lei Yuan to reject her so straightforwardly. She had already been rejected once before, and now it was happening again! Tears filled Lotti¡¯s eyes within moments. Then, she pouted and she began to sob!


    ¡°Boohoo! You¡¯re bullying me!¡±


    The loli wiped her tears as she whimpered. Lei Yuan completely ignored her. Seeing that Lei Yuan was still indifferent, Lotti cried even louder. The banquet soon became chaotic.


    ¡®What¡¯s going on?¡¯Lei Yuan squeezed his way out of the crowd with an exasperated look on his face.


    He just wanted to see what was going on, he really did not want to get married. Why was this little girl suddenly bawling her eyes out? Could he really not afford to provoke her?


    Lei Yuan¡¯s previous good mood had disappeared. He could only return to his room and continue cultivating.


    When Ofia finally managed to calm Lotti down, she went to Lei Yuan¡¯s room. Coincidentally, Lei Yuan had just finished his cultivation and was playing with the dragon.


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, am I disturbing you at this hour?¡±


    Seeing that the person outside the door was Ofia, Lei Yuan¡¯s face flashed with surprise, and he hurriedly went to let her in.


    ¡°No, I¡¯m just playing with Draco.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re playing with the dragon?¡±As soon as Ofia entered the room, she saw the dragon on the bed gnawing on a spirit crystal. From its obedient appearance, how could anyone tell that this dragon had the potential to kill everyone in the palace? ¡°You¡¯ve taught him well.¡±


    Lei Yuan did not bother to comment.


    After closing the door again, Lei Yuan did not stand on ceremony. He hugged the dragon again and pinched its chubby little paws. His tone was indifferent as he spoke. ¡°Your Majesty came at such a late hour. You must have something important to tell me, right?¡±


    Ofia hesitated for a moment, but her tone did not change. ¡°It¡¯s not that important.¡±


    ¡°Is that so?¡± Lei Yuan did not wish to keep guessing. He looked up at Ofia and directly pointed out her thoughts. ¡°I thought you were worried that I might actually agree to that little girl¡¯s proposal.¡±


    ¡°You guessed it.¡± This time, Ofia was caught by surprise, and her breathing gradually quickened. ¡°Then, will you agree to her request?¡±


    ¡°Do you want me to agree?¡± asked Lei Yuan with a quirk of his eyebrow. When Ofia remained silent, he retracted his gaze. ¡°What are you worried about, Your Majesty? Are you worried that I will agree to marry her, or are you worried that after I leave with her, there would be no one here to remove the curse on you?¡±


    It was as if he had dropped a stone into a calm lake, and it stirred up a thousand ripples.


    Ofia raised her head abruptly, and her azure blue eyes stared fixedly at Lei Yuan. ¡°You know about the curse? How did you find out? What else do you know?¡±


    Hearing Ofia¡¯s agitated words, Lei Yuan explained tetchily, ¡°Your Majesty, calm down. I heard about the curse when you were talking to your lady-in-waiting the other night. Of course, you needn¡¯t worry. I have not told anyone about this. I¡¯m the only one who knows.¡±


    ¡°I see.¡±Knowing that Lei Yuan was not a spy from an enemy country, Ofia gradually calmed down.


    Since he already knew about the curse, Ofia no longer hid it. A bitter smile appeared on her face as she looked at Lei Yuan with a final hope in her eyes.


    ¡°Since you are able to tell me this, does that mean that you have a way to help me solve it?¡±


    Could she really get rid of this nightmare that had plagued her since birth?


    Lei Yuan spoke slowly as he met Ofia¡¯s hopeful gaze,¡±Logically speaking, it¡¯s impossible. However¡­¡±


    Just as the light in Ofia¡¯s eyes were about to grow dim, Lei Yuan suddenly changed the topic and looked at her with a smile.


    ¡°It¡¯s not that I can¡¯t try. If it is possible, I will naturally do my best to help. However, I have one request.¡±

 Chapter 6

    ¡°Anything!¡± said Ofia hastily with a flicker in her eyes.


    ¡®One request is nothing. So long as I can be free of this curse, I¡¯ll agree to however many requests he has!¡¯


    ¡°Your Majesty, please hear me out. It¡¯s not too late for you to consider this carefully.¡± Lei Yuan stayed calm. He did not allow Ofia¡¯s emotions to affect him. ¡°My request is to be given a position with actual power, and to be put in the battlefield during the next attack by the enemy country.¡±


    At present, he needed to improve himself and at the same time, he needed a place to display his strength. Then would it not be most suitable for him to be on the battlefield?


    Ofia was shocked by this. She even suspected that she had misheard. ¡°You want to fight on the battlefield?!¡±


    Ordinary people would avoid going to the battlefield. Although she had indeed thought of letting Lei Yuan lead the army to fight against the enemy, when he actually proposed it himself, she was suddenly hesitant to agree.


    This was too strange. Ofia even speculated, ¡®What if Lei Yuan ran away during the battle? Then I would be doomed, wouldn¡¯t I?¡¯


    She would never allow such a thing to happen!


    ¡°Yes. It¡¯s fine, isn¡¯t it?¡± Lei Yuan¡¯s expression was indifferent, but it held a hint of solemness. ¡°With my strength, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem for me to be a general or something, right? Or do you doubt my ability?¡±


    ¡®I¡¯ve obviously subdued the evil dragon. Based on this point alone, I should be able to get a position as a high-ranking official, right?¡¯ Lei Yuan did not know what the rules of this world were.


    Ofia hurriedly explained, ¡°You are a warrior of our country. It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t trust you. It¡¯s just¡­¡±


    ¡®Is it really alright for him to go to the battlefield in his current state?¡¯


    As she thought about it, Ofia probed, ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, perhaps you can request something else. I will try my best to grant it.¡±


    Lei Yuan did not expect her to turn down his request. According to his observations, the dispute between this country and the enemy country had been going on for quite a long time. Moreover, the enemy country had been the ones to attack, while the Aifell Empire lacked a general who could lead.


    Ofia should have no reason to reject him.


    ¡°I have no other requests. Your Majesty, as long as you give me this position, I will do my best to help you resolve the curse.¡±


    With this, Ofia could no longer refuse.


    She had already intended for him to lead the army. Since it aligned with her wishes and also satisfied his requirements, she had no good reason to refuse it.


    ¡°Alright, I shall grant your request. From now on, you are a knight of our country!¡±


    Lei Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth at the name; it felt a bit cheesy and over-the-top. However, since he had gotten what he wanted, Lei Yuan did not say anything more and returned his attention to the little dragon.


    Ofia had wanted to ask him about the removal of the curse, but she was worried that if she pushed too hard, Lei Yuan might actually run away.


    After thinking about it, she decided to put it off for another time. As long as he was still in this country, in this world, she still had a chance. Ofia turned and left his room.


    After Lei Yuan got what he wanted, he did not delay for even a moment. He was going to battle from now on. He needed to hurry and cultivate to improve himself.


    However, Lei Yuan was met with an unwelcome surprise as someone came to disturb him. It was still that arrogant loli.


    ¡°You, come with me!¡±


    ¡®This voice again¡­¡¯ Lei Yuan chose to ignore it and continued his cultivation.


    Lotti rarely received such treatment. In her own country, she was admired by everyone, and she could throw tantrums in front of others. Who would dare to give her the cold shoulder?


    This Lei Yuan was really bold!


    ¡°Did you hear me? Come with me!¡± Lotti stepped forward and was about to pull Lei Yuan away.


    ¡°Get lost!¡± Lei Yuan had no choice but to stop cultivating. ¡°What do you want?¡±


    ¡°Come with me!¡±


    Lei Yuan became curious and wanted to see what this little loli wanted to do. Thus, he left the room with her and came to the hall. He saw that many people were present. This included people from other countries as well as people from their own country.


    Lotti walked to the center of the hall, turned around, and pointed at Lei Yuan. ¡°I wish to fight you!¡±


    ¡®What?¡¯ Lei Yuan stared at her in confusion.


    ¡°If you lose, you will take me as your master!¡± Lotti looked very confident. She did not believe that she could not defeat this ordinary man with her ability!


    ¡°Um¡­ Ambassador Lotti, now that Warrior Lei Yuan is a knight of our country, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s inappropriate for you to do this,¡± someone said to her. It was not because he wanted to help Lei Yuan, but because this involved the reputation of the country. If Lei Yuan lost, it would be a slap to their country¡¯s face!


    Moreover, he doubted that Lei Yuan could actually win.


    ¡°Yeah, this¡­ If Warrior Lei Yuan really loses and our country¡¯s knight becomes your disciple¡­ It¡¯s preposterous!¡±


    With one hand on her waist, Lotti snorted coldly, ¡°Humph! What¡¯s so ridiculous about that? He will become my disciple. Won¡¯t that represent the friendship between our two countries?¡±


    Anyway, in her opinion, she would definitely not lose!


    ¡°Uh¡­¡± No one knew what to say.


    ¡°I accept,¡± Lei Yuan suddenly said, which shocked everyone.


    ¡®Does he know what he¡¯s agreeing to?¡¯


    After getting the answer she wanted, Lotti was very happy and smiled like a child. ¡°Good!¡±


    Lei Yuan thought that if he did not fight with her, she would probably pester him endlessly. He might as well take this opportunity to duel with her so that she would not bother him in the future.


    However, the other people there shook their heads. Of course, there were also some who were gloating.


    Lotti was the most talented mage in nearly a hundred years, and she had never lost a battle even once.It was impossible for Lei Yuan to win.


    ¡°Humph! It¡¯s just the right time to let him suffer a little. Otherwise, he would think that he¡¯s actually very powerful.¡±


    Many of the people in court were already unhappy with Lei Yuan because of how much Ofia favored him, and they wanted to take the opportunity to mock him.


    ¡°Of course not, even if Lei Yuan doesn¡¯t win, it doesn¡¯t matter. Just don¡¯t lose face for our country!¡±


    ¡°If he insists on pretending to be strong even though he doesn¡¯t have the ability, what can we do? All we can do is pray that he doesn¡¯t lose too badly.¡±


    Lei Yuan could hear the gloating voices of the people around him clearly.However, he did not take it to heart. It would not be difficult to defeat this little loli.


    ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡±


    The two of them quickly exchanged blows. Lotti did not even take Lei Yuan seriously. When she made her move, she did so carelessly, as if she were playing with a child.


    ¡°Give up! You can¡¯t beat me!¡±


    When he saw her attack, Lei Yuan knew that she definitely underestimated him and was being careless.


    He wanted to make use of this! Lei Yuan immediately pulled out his divine weapon to fight her.


    No one had expected that the two of them would be able to clash with each other for so many rounds. Even Lotti was surprised. She did not expect Lei Yuan to be this capable.


    After realizing what was happening, she tried to use her real abilities but found that it was already too late.


    Lei Yuan suddenly used his weapon and pressed it against her neck. She did not even realize what had happened.


    The audience was shocked.¡±This¡­ How is this possible?¡±


    Lei Yuan sheathed his weapon and turned around to say sardonically, ¡°Now, who is the one who has disgraced their country?¡±

 Chapter 7

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Everyone was silent.


    Who would have thought that Lei Yuan could actually defeat a once-in-a-hundred-years mage talent like Lotti?


    Some of them immediately praised him, as if they had completely forgotten what they had said before the fight.


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, you¡¯re too powerful. We were blind. Please don¡¯t take offense!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, you¡¯re a knight of our country, how can you be a disciple of a mage from another country? This is too absurd. With you around, the safety of our country is in good hands!¡±


    ¡®Heh!¡¯ Lei Yuan ignored them. He knew very well what these people were thinking.


    Earlier, these people had said that his actions were ridiculous, but they had changed their tune since then. They were used to changing with the wind.


    ¡°No! That was a fluke! Let¡¯s duel again!¡± Lotti was so angry that she stomped her feet. She was unwilling to accept the defeat.


    How could she have known that Lei Yuan was actually quite strong?! If she had known earlier, she would not have let her guard down! If they dueled again, she definitely would not lose!


    Lei Yuan only gave a faint smile in response. ¡°Mage Lotti, you are indeed very powerful. You¡¯re actually much stronger than the other mages I¡¯ve seen.¡±


    There was nothing obviously wrong with that statement, but someone realized that there was one flaw.


    ¡®Didn¡¯t Lei Yuan just come to our country not that long ago? How many mages had he seen before? How would he know of their strength?¡¯


    ¡°It¡¯s good that you know!¡± Lotti did not know what Lei Yuan was planning, but no one would turn down praise, and this move worked on everyone.


    ¡°If you know that I¡¯m powerful, then hurry up and acknowledge me as your master! I¡¯ll teach you more!¡±


    ¡°Haha!¡± Lei Yuan revealed a triumphant smile. ¡°Since you¡¯re so powerful, Lotti, you can¡¯t be a sore loser, right?¡±


    Lotti was speechless at this. She clenched her fists, and her face flushed red. She did not expect to fall into such a trap!


    ¡°Who said I can¡¯t handle losing?! My performance was just off this time! That wasn¡¯t my true strength! If you have the guts, challenge me again!¡±


    She would never admit that she was inferior to Lei Yuan! She was currently the most talented mage in the world.


    ¡°Then, if I lose next time, can I also say that I just didn¡¯t perform well?¡± Lei Yuan retorted mercilessly, a hint of mockery in his smirk.


    This sentence made Lotti speechless. She decided not to say anything, so she simply snorted coldly, turned around, and retreated to her own camp.


    If she could not take him down this time, Lotti believed that there would be other opportunities next time.


    Seeing that the matter was resolved, Lei Yuan decided to put away his god-tier weapon. But unexpectedly, the weapon did not want to listen to his orders!


    The weapon shook, unwilling to let Lei Yuan pick it up, and this caused everyone to laugh again.


    ¡°How strange. He can use a divine weapon, but he can¡¯t subdue it. What does this mean?¡±


    There were fewer people, this time, who opposed Lei Yuan.


    ¡°Do you still need to guess? This meant that he¡¯s not strong enough! If he isn¡¯t strong enough, the divine weapon won¡¯t obey him!¡±


    Lotti seized this opportunity to make trouble. ¡°Although the divine weapon has acknowledged you as its master, you¡¯re still too weak. You can¡¯t completely tame it yet. It¡¯s a waste to let you keep it!¡±


    These words made people very uncomfortable. Lei Yuan frowned at this, but he did not take the matter to heart.


    ¡°That¡¯s easy. If I¡¯m too weak now and can¡¯t subdue it, then it should be fine as long as I get stronger. Right?¡±


    With his current abilities and the overpowering system, he did not have to worry about not being able to become stronger. However, in Lotti¡¯s eyes, Lei Yuan was just a weakling. She doubted he would be able to get stronger easily.


    Even for an incredibly talented mage like her, it still took Lotti several years to cultivate to her current level. Thus, no matter how talented Lei Yuan was, she believed that it was impossible for him to make any progress quickly.


    ¡°That being said, you need time to become stronger. If you can¡¯t subdue the divine weapon in a short period of time, it might not recognize you as its master one day. Aren¡¯t you worried?¡±


    One had to know that this kind of divine weapon was something that everyone wished to have, but it was something that could only be encountered by chance.


    Even if they were lucky enough to have such a weapon, they would not be able to fully control it because most people simply did not have the strength for it. In such cases, the divine weapon would not be willing to recognize such a person as its master.


    Lotti did not believe that Lei Yuan was not secretly panicking inside. As long as she used this as a premise, she might be able to get what she wanted from him.


    Lei Yuan remained silent and did not respond to her question. This made Lotti believe that her words had worked, so she continued, ¡°I can teach you a shortcut that guarantees you¡¯d be able to quickly subdue a god-tier weapon.¡±


    The shortcut was right in front of him, so why not take it? Lei Yuan had never thought himself above using cheats. He would not insist on a hard fight if he could take a shortcut.


    ¡®But if the condition is to agree to be this loli¡¯s disciple, then forget it.¡¯


    This was probably what Lotti was planning.


    ¡°You can teach me the shortcut,¡± Lei Yuan said calmly, ¡°I¡¯ll gladly accept it. But if the exchange is for me to become your disciple, then forget it.¡±


    Lotti had expected this. No matter what, Lei Yuan had won today¡¯s match. It was unrealistic to make him her disciple, at least for now.


    However, this did not mean that there would be no chance to try again in the future. There would be plenty of time later on for him to realize how powerful she was!


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m not in a hurry to acknowledge you as my disciple. I have plenty of time for you to beg me to be your master.¡±


    It was not surprising that Lotti would say such words. She was always very arrogant, and she was definitely confident enough to back it up.


    ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll just have to wait and see!¡±


    Then, the two of them left the hall and went to the courtyard to discuss the ¡°shortcut¡± Lotti mentioned.


    Although Lotti was arrogant, she was indeed a good master.


    ¡°Subduing a divine weapon essentially means to make the divine weapon revere you. It¡¯s just like subduing a naughty younger sibling.¡±


    She spoke as though god-tier weapons had a soul. In Lei Yuan¡¯s previous world, weapons were inanimate objects without a soul to speak of. But in this world, the rules seemed to be a little different. Perhaps divine weapons really did have things that ordinary items did not. The most typical example was spirituality.


    ¡°If you want it to obey you, you must first have the ability to convince it. But obviously, you don¡¯t have that right now,¡± Lotti explained snidely.


    Lei Yuan snorted and coldly said, ¡°In other words, I need to be stronger than a divine weapon before it will allow me to use it, right?¡±


    This logic was simple and easy to understand for Lei Yuan.


    ¡°You could interpret it that way.¡± However, that was not the complete understanding.


    Lei Yuan continued, ¡°You said that my power is weak, and I might not become stronger than a divine weapon in a short period of time. Then what is the ¡®shortcut¡¯ you mentioned?¡± He really wanted to know.


    In his opinion, having the system supporting him was already a shortcut. ¡®Could this loli really have a more convenient method than the system?¡¯


    Lotti snorted coldly, as if she was mocking Lei Yuan for his lack of knowledge. ¡°Why are you so anxious? A shortcut isn¡¯t something that can allow you to subdue a divine weapon overnight. You still have to rely on yourself to comprehend it. I¡¯m only giving you a few simple methods.¡±


    Lei Yuan felt like he had been cheated.


    What kind of teaching method was this?

    ¡®She¡¯s still trying to trick me into becoming her disciple!¡¯


    Lei Yuan showed his emotions on his face without any warning, which made Lotti mock him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you that easy to disappoint? How do you plan to surpass me with that kind of attitude? If that¡¯s the case, you should just quit now!¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless. ¡®When did I say I was disappointed? Can this woman stop adding unjustified speculations to my actions?!¡¯


    ¡°So, what are you trying to say?¡± Lei Yuan did not answer her straightaway and scoffed instead. ¡°At first, you said you could teach me a shortcut, but now you¡¯re saying you¡¯re just giving me the simplest method. Do you think I¡¯m a gullible idiot?¡±


    At the end of the day, she just wanted to become his master.


    ¡°You have nothing about you that¡¯s worth me lying to you,¡± Lotti said disdainfully. ¡°I might want you as my disciple, but I wouldn¡¯t do something so despicable.¡±


    She would not have been able to get her ambassador position if she had done such detestable things.


    ¡°And the fact is, you¡¯re still so weak that I could laugh. Are you saying that I can¡¯t?¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless. He had a feeling that this loli had a communication problem. Could it be that they were from different generations?


    Lei Yuan was close to losing his patience and fighting her again. However, he quickly restrained his impulse. After all, she did not come here with him to quarrel.


    ¡°Alright, back to the main topic. Tell me how I can do it. You said that you can only provide me with a few simple methods, so tell me what they are.¡±


    Lotti did not continue to argue and reminded him, ¡°Actually, the main difference between you and the divine weapon is in terms of martial strength. If you are stronger than the divine weapon in other aspects, it will also obey you.¡±


    Lei Yuan could roughly understand what she meant. It was like saying that he was currently a jack-of-all-trades and master of none, which was why the artifact was not listening to him.


    But how could things be that simple? After all, it was a divine weapon. Other than its martial strength, it might not be inferior in other aspects as well!


    ¡°So, which aspect should I improve on?¡± Lei Yuan pondered. ¡°You¡¯ve said so much, but all I hear are empty words. If you don¡¯t actually understand it, then don¡¯t force yourself.¡±


    Lotti was a little annoyed by this. It was not that she did not understand!


    ¡°I¡¯ll make sure you become thoroughly convinced!¡± Lotti refused to believe that she could not even guide a ¡°disciple¡±!


    Lei Yuan had no reason to refuse free guidance, so he followed her instructions.


    ¡­


    The two of them practiced in the courtyard, and time passed quickly.


    When Ofia heard about what had happened in the hall, she quickly rushed over. However, when she saw the scene of Lei Yuan and Lotti practicing together, she felt a little upset.


    ¡®Why? Lei Yuan is now a knight of the country, but he¡¯s already training with the emissaries of other countries? What is this supposed to mean?¡¯


    Clenching her fists, Ofia walked into the courtyard and interrupted the two.


    ¡°Ambassador Lotti, you have spent a long time with my knight today. There are still some private matters between him and I that need to be dealt with, so I hope you can leave now.¡±


    Naturally, Lotti did not take the dismissal seriously.


    ¡°Your Majesty, I am teaching him how to cultivate, which is a serious matter. Do you mean to say that even you, Your Majesty, wish to interfere?¡±


    Even though she knew they were only training, Ofia still felt uncomfortable about it.


    ¡°This knight is my fianc¨¦. Is there a problem with me coming to look for him?¡± She confronted Lotti directly, ¡°I¡¯m here to teach my fianc¨¦ cultivation. Could you please leave, Ambassador Lotti?¡±


    ¡°Teach him? With the likes of you?¡± Lotti smiled contemptuously.


    If it were not for the fact that Ofia was the Queen of the country Lotti was standing in, Lotti would have chosen to speak with her own strength instead. Ofia might not even be as strong as her!


    ¡°Yes, because I am the Queen of this country!¡± Ofia warned, ¡°I think you wouldn¡¯t want to affect the peace between our two countries over such a small matter. Right, Ambassador Lotti?¡±


    Lotti cackled. ¡°Since you said that it¡¯s a small matter, Your Majesty, why bother with me? There shouldn¡¯t be any problem with me teaching your knight some cultivation, right?¡±


    ¡°You¡­!¡±


    The two women were clearly at odds. After Lei Yuan completed this round of cultivation, he found himself stuck between them.


    ¡°Ambassador Lotti, as the Queen, I order you to leave at once!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Your Majesty. My mission has not been completed yet, so I have to stay.¡±


    Lei Yuan did not even want to bother with them. ¡®What¡¯s there to argue about?¡¯


    When he thought of this, he figured that it was better to think of something more useful instead.


    Just then, the system finally spoke up, ¡°Host, if you cultivate according to my methods, you will definitely become stronger than this mage.


    ¡°The methods used by the people in this world are too rudimentary. They can¡¯t even see it with their own eyes.¡±


    ¡°You should have said so earlier!¡± Lei Yuan snapped.


    If he had known earlier, he would not even have needed to get tangled up with Lotti and could have just enjoyed his own time alone.


    However, it was not bad to get some secret techniques from Lotti.


    Lei Yuan had already started the next stage of cultivation on his own while the two women continued to argue.


    But suddenly, a guard ran toward them with a panicked expression.


    ¡°Your Majesty, something bad has happened!¡±


    Ofia immediately realized what was happening and did not continue to argue with Lotti. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You seem flustered.¡±


    ¡°The enemy is outside the city. They want us to hand over the dragon, or else they¡¯ll attack.¡±


    ¡®What?¡¯


    The situation was happening so suddenly that Lei Yuan had no choice but to stop his cultivation.


    Ofia had naturally forgotten her argument with Lotti. State affairs were more important.


    The three of them quickly rushed to the city gates.


    Lei Yuan had a vague feeling that this matter was related to him. After all, he was the one who subdued the evil dragon.


    After reaching the city gates, Lei Yuan realized that the situation was even more tragic than he had expected.


    It seemed that communication was bound to fail from the start; the enemy had already begun to attack.


    Not only did the other party bring a massive army with them, they also brought two more evil dragons and four cerberi.


    ¡®What kind of strange species are they?¡¯ Lei Yuan thought that there would be a fierce battle next.


    At this moment, the soldiers of the Aifell Empire had already been beaten back and did not have any more strength to fight back.


    Ofia exclaimed in disbelief, ¡°How did this happen? Those evil dragons are too terrifying! It has been so many days since the last attack, and we still haven¡¯t found a way to deal with them?¡±


    The guard explained, ¡°Your Majesty, most of our soldiers have yet to recover from the last battle and cannot be deployed at the moment. The enemy has caught us off guard, and we are no match for them at all.¡±


    Ofia was speechless. She clenched her fists and suddenly felt powerless.


    As the Queen of this country, she was actually helpless.


    A strong army was the foundation of any military strategy. If the soldiers were not capable, even if they had a good strategy, it would not yield them any results in ensuring the safety of their country.


    Where could she find powerful soldiers at this time?


    ¡°Your Majesty,¡± the guard said tentatively, ¡°since the enemy¡¯s goal in attacking us is to retrieve the evil dragon, why don¡¯t we just return the dragon to them? Then, this war will be over.¡±


    As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Lei Yuan.


    At that moment, the other soldiers also expressed their opinions, ¡°That¡¯s right, Your Majesty. Return the evil dragon and this war will end! Why increase the casualties for one dragon?¡±


    ¡°The evil dragon isn¡¯t a creature of our country. Why bother raising it? It won¡¯t help us anyway.¡±


    ¡®But how could a country attack another country just because of one ordinary evil dragon? There must be something going on with this dragon,¡¯ Ofia guessed.

    However, Ofia did not know how to react to this.


    The evil dragon came to Lei Yuan¡¯s side of its own accord. Was he really expected to give it back?


    She looked at Lei Yuan, only to see that his gaze had been fixed on the battlefield, as if he was thinking about something.


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, what do you think?¡±


    In truth, Ofia had hoped to return the evil dragon, which would reduce unnecessary casualties and ease the relationship between the two countries.


    But the problem was that it was the evil dragon who had taken the initiative to cling to Lei Yuan!


    ¡°Me?¡± Lei Yuan¡¯s eyes widened slightly, as if he was surprised. And he genuinely was, because he did not expect the Queen to ask for his opinion.


    ¡°Yes.¡± Ofia nodded and probed, ¡°Do you intend to return the evil dragon?¡±


    ¡®What kind of question is that?¡¯ Lei Yuan found it strange.


    He stroked the little dragon¡¯s head with one hand and answered, ¡°Even if I¡¯m willing to return it, this little guy might not be willing to go back.¡±


    It did seem to make sense. Since the evil dragon was clinging to Lei Yuan, would it really be willing to go back?


    Ofia had her doubts, but the other guards and ministers were not pleased. In their opinion, it was the evil dragon that brought disaster to the country, yet at this crucial time, Lei Yuan was unwilling to return it. What was his motive?


    ¡°Lei Yuan! I hope you can return the evil dragon as soon as possible and not bring danger to the entire country! Look! So many soldiers have died because of you!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right! The dragon is not yours; you should return it! Otherwise, you should leave our country!¡±


    ¡°Lei Yuan! Do you hear us?¡±


    Lei Yuan could not find it in himself to take their words seriously.


    Instead of directly continuing them, he merely waved at the dragon. ¡°Go on. Go back to your country.¡±


    At that moment, some people thought that Lei Yuan had gone crazy for speaking to the evil dragon like that. However, what shocked them even more was that the evil dragon was unwilling to leave!


    ¡°See, it¡¯s not that I¡¯m unwilling to return it.¡± Lei Yuan shrugged.


    ¡°Nonsense!¡± A minister immediately retorted, ¡°We¡¯re just discussing this objectively! Bringing the evil dragon here has brought a crisis to our country!¡±


    Lei Yuan was still very calm. He wanted to say something to refute these armchair ministers, but Ofia suddenly spoke up for him.


    ¡°Stop arguing. I think what Warrior Lei Yuan said is right.¡±


    No one had expected Ofia to speak up for Lei Yuan. The ministers thought she, too, had gone mad.


    The difference was so clear. Could Her Majesty not see it? How could she have said such nonsense with her eyes wide open?


    ¡°Your Majesty! Look carefully! We¡¯re in a truly dire situation now!¡±


    At this moment, another minister suddenly stood up, but instead of directing his criticism at Lei Yuan, he said to Ofia, ¡°Your Majesty, since you¡¯re so biased, I think you needn¡¯t sit on the throne anymore! Why don¡¯t you abdicate?¡±


    No one had expected him to say this. Even the other ministers who had voiced their criticisms were shocked.


    Their goal was only to get Lei Yuan to return the evil dragon and end the war. They did not want the Queento abdicate.


    Although some of Her Majesty¡¯s recent actions were indeed difficult to understand, it was not to the point of asking her to abdicate.


    The minister continued to speak.


    ¡°Your Majesty, you¡¯re currently only focused on men and have no regard for the people of the country. If you continue to sit on the throne, it would be irresponsible to the country!¡±


    Ofia was stunned. She gave the minister a deep look and was momentarily unable to refute him. She had too much to consider, and this was not the time to speak out yet.


    In the end, Ofia looked at the man holding the dragon and silently asked for help. Lei Yuan had no choice. The ministers would only shut up if he resolved this matter.


    Sensing everyone¡¯s gaze on him, Lei Yuan gave a slight smile.


    ¡°Right now, I only have this one small pet, and it¡¯s a bit boring. It wouldn¡¯t be a bad idea to adopt a few more at this opportunity.¡±


    Anyway, adopting the evil dragon would be a simple matter for him.


    This sentence shocked everyone again.


    ¡®The evil dragon¡­ A pet?! What is he thinking? He actually says that such a dangerous animal is his pet!¡¯


    ¡°You¡­ Don¡¯t spout nonsense! Hurry up and return the evil dragon!¡±


    ¡®How could he say such words in such a relaxed tone? He¡¯s like a madman!¡¯


    But in Lei Yuan¡¯s eyes, he had only said something that was completely normal.


    He considered whether to explain, but when Lei Yuan saw everyone¡¯s expressions, he realized that they would not believe him anyway. Thus, he decided to drop the topic.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to listen, then I won¡¯t say more. However, this evil dragon did follow me willingly. It¡¯s not that I didn¡¯t mean to return it. Who knows, those evil dragons might want to follow me, too.¡±


    This sentence took on a different meaning in the minister¡¯s ears.


    ¡®What was that?¡¯


    Everyone was shocked once again. They did not expect Lei Yuan to be unsatisfied with having just one evil dragon. He even wanted to acquire a few more!


    One evil dragon was already enough to bring disaster to a country. If he adopted a few more, would it not be¡­


    ¡°You¡¯re crazy!¡± the minister shouted angrily. ¡°Return the evil dragon now, or else don¡¯t blame us for taking action against you!¡±


    There were soldiers nearby watching, and they were already worried about losing their lives in this war, but they were also more worried about their families being implicated.


    Unexpectedly, this person who had brought disaster upon the country was speaking recklessly here with a look of indifference.


    The soldiers¡¯ anger gradually rose, and they were about to resort to violence.


    ¡°Lei Yuan, I¡¯ll give you one last chance. Quickly return the evil dragon! Otherwise, don¡¯t blame us for how we treat you next!¡±


    They had already raised their weapons in preparation to attack him at any time.


    Seeing this, Ofia hurriedly stood in front of Lei Yuan.


    ¡°Calm down, everyone! Lei Yuan is not our enemy. I believe he can handle them.¡±


    Lei Yuan was somewhat surprised that Ofia had shielded him. However, at this critical moment, even as the Queen, she could not calm the soldiers down.


    Her defense of Lei Yuan especially agitated the soldiers, who were on the verge of a mental breakdown. They were afraid of death, and they were also afraid of their families dying¡­ And their Queenwas actually defending her so-called knight!


    The soldiers lost control and shouted at Ofia, ¡°Your Majesty! How could you put the people of the country in danger for one man? You don¡¯t deserve to be our Queen!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right! Let¡¯s not listen to her! Just kill Lei Yuan! Send the evil dragon back, and we¡¯ll be safe!¡±


    ¡°Yes! Since the Queen doesn¡¯t agree, we¡¯ll do it ourselves!¡±


    The soldiers¡¯ emotions had already been incited. They all came to crusade against Lei Yuan, and at the same time, they hoped that Ofia would abdicate.


    Ofia was confused by the situation. In the past, the soldiers and ministers would at least obey her orders, but that was not the case today.


    The enemy troops outside the city walls were also clamoring. ¡°Hand over the dragon! Otherwise, we¡¯ll attack the city!¡±


    At this moment, Lei Yuan and Ofia appeared to be very isolated and helpless. But faced with such a situation, Lei Yuan remained calm.


    He threw the little dragon out with one hand, and the little dragon instantly became big enough for him to ride on.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll take care of it.¡±


    After saying this, Lei Yuan jumped over the city walls and was picked up by the dragon.


    Seeing that Lei Yuan had finally retreated, the soldiers¡¯ expressions also eased somewhat.


    Of course, they did not think that Lei Yuan had gone to negotiate with the enemy. They just thought that he could not withstand the pressure and had given in.


    ¡°Humph! He¡¯s finally gone.¡±


    ¡°Hurry up and return the evil dragon! Otherwise, there will be no place for you in our country!¡±


    Ofia clenched her fists and felt uneasy.

 Chapter 10

    She was not only worried about Lei Yuan¡¯s situation, but also about her image in the hearts of the soldiers and ministers.


    She was the Queenof this country. In her understanding, everyone should listen to her. But today, her subjects actually¡­


    However, she did not have much time to think about this. The relationship between the two sides was tense, and a fierce battle could start at any time.


    Lei Yuan flew down on his dragon and arrived in front of the enemy.


    Compared to the enemy¡¯s massive army, Lei Yuan was like a tiny, lone figure. The enemy would not really think that he was here alone to negotiate with them. Without any support behind him, what could he use to negotiate?


    ¡°Humph! I thought you would have some backbone and fight us if you have the ability. I didn¡¯t expect you to surrender so quickly.¡± The enemy general sneered, ¡°You have the guts to hide a fierce dragon, but not the bravery to continue fighting us. Cowards!¡±


    Lei Yuan had already heard this kind of mockery quite a bit these past few days and did not take it seriously at all.


    He waved at the dragons and cerberi, as if he was coaxing some little animals. ¡°Come here, come to my side.¡±


    This doting tone seemed out of place on the battlefield. When the enemy general heard this, he thought that Lei Yuan had lost his mind and laughed wildly.


    ¡°Do you think our beasts are your pets? They¡¯re incomparably vicious! Be careful not to die without an intact corpse!¡±


    ¡®So this man used this method to subdue our evil dragon? Just the very thought of it is ridiculous!¡¯


    The general shook his head. He believed that there was something wrong with the evil dragon that had gone to the enemy. It just needed to be properly trained when they got it back.


    ¡°Don¡¯t speak too soon.¡± Lei Yuan still looked like he was planning a strategy. He clapped his hands and said, ¡°Look.¡±


    The ground suddenly shook.


    The soldiers all looked in the same direction and saw their dragons and cerberi walking toward Lei Yuan all at once.


    It was obvious that they did not have any ill intentions. They looked more like little pets walking toward their owner to ask for a reward.


    At first, the enemy troops could not believe it. They just stood there and watched in a daze until the beasts lowered their heads in front of the man without the slightest intention to attack.


    Lei Yuan smiled and raised his head, patting their heads. ¡°How obedient.¡±


    ¡°F*ck!¡± The enemy general was so shocked that he could not react for a long time.


    They had trained the beasts for so long and finally managed to make them listen to their orders, but this man was able to make them so obedient the first time they saw him?!


    ¡®What sorcery is this?!¡¯


    ¡°Come back here!¡± The general used a control spell in frustration as he tried to summon the beasts back, but it was useless.


    He increased the strength of his spell. This seemed to make the fierce beasts very uncomfortable. They let out a thunderous roar on the spot and turned to viciously glare at the enemy general and his troops. Then, the beasts attacked them!


    As they saw the fierce beasts roaring at charging at them, the enemy troops became terrified.


    ¡°W-W-What¡¯s going on? Aren¡¯t the dragons and cerberi on our side? Why are they attacking us?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know! General, can you make them stop? They really seem to want to hurt us!¡±


    ¡°Stop arguing. I¡¯m trying to control them!¡±


    The general had used the control spell, but then realized that it had no effect at all. The result was actually counterproductive. The beasts seemed to hate them more and more.


    ¡®How can this be?¡¯


    ¡°No! Attack him! I am your master! Do you hear me?!¡±


    However, no matter how much the general roared, the beasts did not react.


    At this moment, everyone on the city wall was shocked.


    ¡°What¡­ What happened? Why would the beasts attack them? Weren¡¯t they the ones who trained them?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not sure. Did Lei Yuan use magic? But I thought he couldn¡¯t use magic. Did Mage Lotti teach him?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t know, but if Lei Yuan can really make the ferocious beasts so obedient that they would attack the enemies instead, then that¡¯s not bad, either. It saves us from fighting and dying in vain.¡±


    At this moment, the ministers were also discussing. There were some who were very optimistic about Lei Yuan, but there were also a few who kept badmouthing him.


    ¡°Lei Yuan seems to be quite capable. It¡¯s also beneficial for us to have such a person in our country.¡±


    ¡°It seems that Her Majesty has a good eye for people. No wonder she wants to marry him.¡±


    Suddenly, a minister objected, ¡°Don¡¯t be fooled by him! Can¡¯t you see that it¡¯s obviously a huge problem?¡±


    The others were also stunned by his outburst.


    ¡°What do you mean? I don¡¯t understand.¡±


    ¡°Lei Yuan is clearly a spy of the enemy country!¡± said the minister angrily. ¡°How else could he make the beasts so obedient?¡±


    As soon as he said this, everyone fell into deep thought. It was actually not an unreasonable thing to say.


    ¡°No one in our country has been able to tame beasts for so many years. How did Lei Yuan do it so easily? He definitely knew the enemy country¡¯s beast taming technique!


    ¡°He¡¯s showing us a confrontation with the enemy right now, with the purpose of deceiving us and infiltrating deep into our politics. When the time comes, he¡¯ll be able to wipe us out in one fell swoop!¡±


    After listening to the minister for a while, everyone felt that it made sense. Otherwise, how could they justify the fact that Lei Yuan could make the beasts so obedient?


    Ofia wanted to argue back, but she calmed herself down. Her words were useless at the moment, and she might end up causing more trouble for Lei Yuan.


    However, she believed that this time, Lei Yuan would definitely be able to defeat the enemy. He was able to subdue fierce beasts not because he was a spy of an enemy country, but because he was truly strong.


    The situation was getting more and more tense. The beasts charged at the enemy. No matter how the general tried to tame them, they could not be stopped. Eventually, the general ran out of options. In order to prevent casualties, he had to mercilessly kill the beasts that he had personally tamed.


    Lei Yuan only smiled faintly when he saw this and said, ¡°Using violence is not how you truly tame something.¡±


    It was clear that there had been no emotional connection between the beasts and the general. Anyone who purely used violence to dominate another being was doomed to fail.


    ¡°Damn it!¡± The general hated Lei Yuan to the core.


    If it was not for this guy, he would not have had to kill the beasts that he had trained for so long.


    The beasts were their weapons for attacking other countries, yet this man eliminated that option so easily!


    ¡°Attack! Kill him!¡±


    If this person was not eliminated, he would definitely pose a huge threat in the future!


    The troops received the order and immediately launched an attack. Thousands of soldiers charged forward, and a fierce battle was about to break out.


    The soldiers on the city walls were ready to fight, but there were also people cursing Lei Yuan, ¡°Idiot! Is he trying to kill us?¡±


    The rest of them, however, were puzzled.


    If Lei Yuan was a spy, why would the enemy kill their own beasts? If it was just an act, there was no need to pay such a high price.


    ¡°Do you still not understand? Lei Yuan has ¡®angered¡¯ the enemy, and they are launching their attack. How can our troops resist them at this time? He¡¯s clearly trying to bring harm to us!¡±


    The soldiers immediately understood.


    The soldiers who could go into battle were those who had recovered from their injuries. But their numbers were still much smaller than the enemy¡¯s.


    Lei Yuan was speechless.


    ¡®These people¡­¡¯


    He felt like everything he had done was for nothing.

    ¡®They¡¯re a bunch of heartless and evil people!¡¯


    Even without him, the enemy would have attacked them, so why were they so willing to put all the blame on Lei Yuan?


    He had subdued the evil dragon and alleviated a crisis. He was even fighting against the enemy¡¯s army alone. Why was he doing so much for their sake? Would it not be easier if he just did not bother at all?


    ¡°F*ck!¡± Lei Yuan wanted to just leave and not care anymore!


    He had originally thought that, with the evil dragon and the help of the system, he would have no issues with the Aifell Empire.


    ¡®Why don¡¯t I just leave?¡¯


    Lei Yuan turned his head and saw spots of light appearing on the city wall.


    The system suddenly said, ¡°This is the Aifell Empire¡¯s defense system. It seems like they plan to lock you outside the city walls. They¡¯re essentially asking you to die.¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless.


    ¡®Alright, let¡¯s hurry up and leave. This country isn¡¯t worth my time!¡¯ Lei Yuan pondered over the most glorious way to make his exit.


    ¡°Stop!¡±


    Ofia¡¯s shout came from the city walls, but Lei Yuan was not in the mood to care.


    So what if the Queensupported him? She was using him as a tool anyway. On top of that, he did not want to marry a woman he was not familiar with.


    The world was so big, and he had yet to explore it.


    ¡°Who told you to activate the defense system?! Lei Yuan hasn¡¯t returned yet! Hurry up and take it down!¡± Ofia shouted in exasperation.


    She did not want to harm her own subjects. With her skills, it would be easy to break the defense system.


    The head minister did not accept her order.


    ¡°Your Majesty, this man has disregarded the people of the country, so you should execute him. Right now, leaving him to fight the enemy outside is also considered a glorious death.¡±


    It looked like the head minister would not be swayed.


    Seeing that the defense system was about to take shape, Ofia steeled her heart and jumped off the city wall under everyone¡¯s shocked gazes.


    ¡°Your Majesty!¡±


    Although the soldiers had their own opinions about Ofia, they at least respected their Queen. When they saw her jump off the city wall, they panicked.


    ¡°What should we do?! Her Majesty is in trouble!¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go down, too! We have to ensure Queen Ofia¡¯s safety!¡±


    The minister¡¯s expression changed, and an almost invisible smile flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it.


    ¡°Be quiet, don¡¯t worry. Our Queenis very powerful. She¡¯ll be fine! Even if she lost her life, she sacrificed herself for our country. She deserves our love.¡±


    Lei Yuan heard these words clearly and felt that it was ironic. ¡°Your Majesty, how many traitorous officials have you raised?¡±


    Ofia used practical magic and came up to Lei Yuan from behind. ¡°I didn¡¯t know he harbored such thoughts.¡± She would not have kept him by her side for so long if she had known.


    This was the first time Lei Yuan had seen her use a spell. For a woman to be able to become a queen, her strength must be significant.


    However, Ofia had always maintained the ideal image of a respectable woman in front of him, and he had never seen her fight before.


    Even the spell she was using was not weak when Lei Yuan observed it.


    The system commented, ¡°Not bad. But to be your wife, she¡¯s not qualified enough. Host, you should hurry up and improve yourself so you can marry even more powerful wives in the future.¡±


    ¡®Shut up!¡¯


    He came to Ofia¡¯s side and the two of them fought the enemy side-by-side.


    ¡°Your Majesty, are you sure you want to fight together?¡±


    ¡°Is there a problem?¡± Currently, Ofia did not look weak at all. She even had the temperament of a strong woman. ¡°It makes perfect sense for me to fight alongside my fianc¨¦.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not your fianc¨¦, and I won¡¯t marry you. But we must win this battle!¡± said Lei Yuan calmly.


    From the looks of it, the country was not completely hopeless. At least their Queenwas quite clear-headed.


    ¡°I will do my best.¡±


    With the protection of the defense system behind her, she was not worried about her citizens. As long as she could win this war, no one would oppose her and Lei Yuan anymore.


    He was her antidote!


    The two of them continued to fight in tandem, and their strength exceeded everyone¡¯s imagination. Especially Lei Yuan, whose power could almost match a hundred soldiers alone. The soldiers on the city wall were stunned by this.


    ¡°How¡­ How could he be so strong? I saw it very clearly, the soldiers approaching Lei Yuan all fell to the ground and couldn¡¯t get up. At least he can take on a hundred men.¡±


    ¡°I told you, how can a man the Queen set her sights on be bad? We have to believe in our Queen.¡±


    ¡°What are we waiting for? Let¡¯s hurry down there and help! Don¡¯t disappoint Queen Ofia and Warrior Lei Yuan.¡±


    The head minister immediately stopped them. ¡°Don¡¯t move! They are too powerful. You¡¯ll just get overwhelmed.¡±


    ¡°Then what should we do? Are we not going to help Queen Ofia and Warrior Lei Yuan?¡±


    The soldiers were extremely anxious, but they heaved a sigh of relief when they saw how well the two were fighting. It seemed unnecessary to worry over them.


    ¡°Let¡¯s observe the situation first.¡±


    Out of caution, the head minister did not outright tell the soldiers to stand down, but his expression was very unpleasant.


    As Lei Yuan attacked more and more enemies, his Charm value skyrocketed, but he had neither the mood nor time to care about it for the moment¡­


    ¡­Until he saw the enemy soldiers suddenly rush up to him, kneel down, lay their weapons before him, and reveal worshipful gazes.


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, you are too powerful! Please, let us follow you!¡±


    Lei Yuan was somewhat taken aback, but he quickly realized what was happening. This was the result of the increase in his Charm attribute.


    Ofia was stunned as well, but she also heaved a sigh of relief. At least, they had gained the upper hand in this battle.


    When the enemy general saw this, he was completely flabbergasted.


    ¡°What are you all doing?! I¡¯m the general here. He¡¯s our enemy. Wake up!¡±


    ¡®What¡¯s going on? What kind of sorcery is this man using to make my soldiers side with him?¡¯


    When they heard the general¡¯s words, the soldiers who were kneeling suddenly raised their weapons and attacked the general.


    ¡°How dare you slander Warrior Lei Yuan!¡±


    The general could never have imagined such an outcome.


    ¡°I am your general! Stop! Why aren¡¯t you all listening to my orders?¡±


    However, the soldiers ignored him and continued to attack.


    Lei Yuan heaved a sigh of relief as well when he saw this. At the same time, he casually said, ¡°Your Majesty, you have to drain the swamp. Not everyone can stay by your side.¡±


    ¡°I know.¡± Ofia turned around and looked toward the city wall. Her voice was harsh as she ordered for the head minister to be sent to prison.


    From the start of the war, this person had been urging her to disregard Lei Yuan. However, from the moment he asked her to abdicate, she could no longer tolerate him.


    Meanwhile, the treacherous official was still in extreme shock from seeing the outcome of the battle.


    How did Lei Yuan do it? It¡¯s one thing to make people from his own country worship him, but even the enemy troops were so protective of him.


    By the time the head minister realized that he had been taken away, it was already too late for him to struggle.


    ¡°Get lost!¡±


    The enemy general roared. He had no choice but to use teleportation and appeared in front of Ofia.


    Ofia, who had been giving orders to her subjects, was surprised as a knife was pressed against her neck.


    ¡°All of you had better stop moving, or I¡¯ll kill her right now!¡±


    Lei Yuan did not dare to act rashly.

    At the same time, Lei Yuan stopped the soldiers who were fighting.


    Lei Yuan did not want to deal with the problems of these two countries, but now that things had come to this, he was already in the thick of it, and it seemed that he could no longer feign ignorance.


    Moreover, this Queenmight still have some use or value.


    ¡°Don¡¯t move! Otherwise, I¡¯ll kill her right now!¡± The general looked at the soldiers who previously belonged to his country. They all stood on the enemy¡¯s side. The hatred in his heart for Lei Yuan grew even stronger.


    How did this man do it? He had made the soldiers, who were once so staunchly patriotic, instantly shift to his side.


    Ofia did not dare to move and was trying to come up with a solution to her predicament.


    No one noticed the woman who had suddenly jumped down from the city wall¡­ until she attacked the general.


    ¡°How dare you attack us! Go back to your own country!¡±


    It was Lotti¡¯s voice.


    By the time Lei Yuan realized it, Lotti had already attacked the general and successfully saved Ofia.


    He immediately shielded Ofia behind him, but as a result, Lotti was the one who fell into danger. The general decided to take Lotti hostage instead.


    ¡°So, there¡¯s still someone with some guts. It doesn¡¯t matter, I¡¯ll take anyone as a hostage.¡±


    Lotti did not expect things to turn out like this. She had not intended to rescue Ofia, but she also had not wished to make things difficult for Lei Yuan


    After all, if something really happened to Ofia, Lei Yuan would definitely be held accountable. At that time, Lotti would not be able to bring him back to her country.


    She just did not expect that she would be caught herself after saving someone. She had underestimated the enemy!


    ¡°Ambassador Lotti! Why did you do that?¡± The foreign emissaries who came along were both angry and helpless.


    This had nothing to do with their own country, so they did not need to participate. They were only to watch from the sidelines. How could Ambassador Lotti¡­


    When Lei Yuan saw this, he knew that things had become more troublesome.


    If something happened to the emissaries of other countries, it would affect the Aifell Empire¡¯s alliances.


    Although he did not like Ambassador Lotti, she was still an important figure in another country, so he had to exercise caution.


    Ofia was also in a difficult position. It was one thing for this woman to snatch her man, but she was the ambassador of another country. Ofia must not let anything happen to her!


    When the general heard Lotti¡¯s title, he suddenly grinned. ¡°So, she¡¯s not from your country.¡±


    ¡°Let her go! If anything bad happens to her, don¡¯t even think about leaving alive!¡±


    ¡°Do you think you still have the right to threaten me?¡± The general laughed and said, ¡°I don¡¯t care if I die, so she can forget about living as well!¡± Let¡¯s see whether you want my life or hers!¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless.


    The initiative was no longer in their hands. It was not worth exchanging Lotti¡¯s life for that of an enemy general. They could not damage their relationship with an allied country for the sake of one enemy.


    ¡°Your Majesty, let him go,¡± said Lei Yuan softly. ¡°If something happens to Lotti, our relationship with an allied country will also deteriorate.¡±


    Ofia agreed with him. ¡°We can let you leave. But you¡¯re not allowed to hurt her,¡± she said coldly.¡±


    ¡°Alright, then let me go now.¡±


    Suddenly, Lotti began to struggle. The general quickly used magic to knock her out. ¡°Make way!¡±


    Lei Yuan had no choice but to have the soldiers clear a path for him.


    The general hurriedly took Lotti and left.


    In order to ensure Lotti¡¯s safety, Lei Yuan could only watch gravely as the general took her away.


    Seeing his displeasure, the soldiers quickly came up with a plan. ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, we have followed the general for many years and know many of his weaknesses. We can give you advice on how to deal with him.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right! The general¡¯s vigilance is quite low during the night. We can choose the right time to rescue her!¡±


    ¡°No matter what, we¡¯ll listen to you!¡±


    When the general, who had not gone very far yet, heard these words, he was so angry that he almost spat blood.


    Until now, he still had not figured out how he had failed. From when they were in training to when they joined him on the battlefield, the soldiers had all been loyal and dedicated.


    Meanwhile, this man they call Lei Yuan had done nothing!


    Even if Lei Yuan knew what was going on, he could not help but be shocked by the soldiers¡¯ behaviors.


    Lei Yuan asked the system, ¡°Is the effect of my increased Charm attribute supposed to be this strong? I feel like a huge superstar.¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re even more powerful than a superstar.¡± The system snorted, ¡°Even superstars have haters. You¡¯re definitely a heartthrob!


    ¡°It¡¯s just that the general is especially powerful. You can¡¯t influence him for the time being.¡±


    ¡®I don¡¯t want to be a heartthrob,¡¯ Lei Yuan muttered in his heart. However, these soldiers had chosen to follow him, so he had to bring them back to the Aifell Empire with him.


    ¡°Your Majesty, let¡¯s go back first.¡±


    It was useless to continue standing here. Ofia nodded and led the soldiers back to the city.


    They did not win this battle, but neither did they lose. However, Lotti was taken away, which made the emissaries very dissatisfied.


    ¡°Ambassador Lotti is an envoy sent by our country. How could you allow her to be on the battlefield and even let her be captured?!¡± The foreign emissaries were furious with Lei Yuan.


    They never thought that, before diplomatic relations could even begin, they had already lost their own country¡¯s military powerhouse.


    Everyone was once again reminded that Ambassador Lotti was a talented mage that was rarely seen in a hundred years. Nothing must happen to her!


    ¡°We didn¡¯t want this to happen, either.¡± Ofia defended him, but she was reprimanded as well.


    ¡°Your Majesty, protecting visiting dignitaries is something a country should do, but look at what you¡¯ve done? It¡¯s one thing to be incompetent, but you had to let Ambassador Lotti come to your rescue, you¡­¡±


    Another man said in disappointment, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for your incompetence, you wouldn¡¯t have needed to rely on Ambassador Lotti to save the day, and she wouldn¡¯t have been captured in the end because you didn¡¯t have anyone useful on hand at a critical moment.¡±


    Neither Ofia nor Lei Yuan refuted this.It was indeed their fault for not protecting the ambassador well.However, the expressions of the enemy soldiers who had followed Lei Yuan turned ugly when they heard this.


    ¡°What are you talking about? During the battle, you all were cowering behind the city walls, too scared to move. What right do you have to question Queen Ofia and Lei Yuan? Warrior Lei Yuan can control an evil dragon. If you keep talking, he may unleash it here to teach you all a lesson!¡±


    Lei Yuan was dumbfounded.


    Why did it feel like his ¡°devotees¡± were braver than he?


    However, he did not say anything. Seeing that the other party was frightened, he thought that it would be easier to let it go and not argue with them.


    ¡°Humph! Since things have come to this, I won¡¯t say anything more. But if you can¡¯t save Ambassador Lotti, we¡¯ll break off diplomatic relations with the Aifell Empire! Lei Yuan will also pay a price!¡±


    Toward this matter, Lei Yuan was very confident.¡±Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll find a way to rescue Lotti.¡±


    He really did not like that woman, but since she had helped him, he should go and save her.He was not an ungrateful person.


    Lei Yuan proposed, ¡°I will lead a team to infiltrate the enemy camp and rescue Lotti. You don¡¯t need to worry about the rest.¡±


    Upon hearing this, the accompanying soldiers quickly came up with ideas and shared all the information they knew with Lei Yuan.However, their ranks were not high, and the information they knew was very limited.


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, this is all we know. We hope it can be of help to you.¡±At this moment, they hated themselves for knowing so little.


    Lei Yuan also had his own considerations. The information provided by these soldiers could indeed be useful.

    But the problem was that these people were previously soldiers of an enemy country. It was probably inappropriate for them to participate in the rescue.


    If this group of soldiers double-crossed them at a critical moment¡­ They would be in big trouble.


    ¡°Host, you don¡¯t have to worry about this.¡± The system then explained, ¡°As long as your Charm doesn¡¯t decrease, they will always be your followers.¡±


    ¡°Under what circumstances will my Charm attribute decrease? Will it drop suddenly?¡± Lei Yuan asked.


    ¡°Normally it¡¯s not possible,¡± the system pondered. ¡°But it¡¯s hard to say if there are any special circumstances¡­¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless.


    ¡®That was¡­ a waste of time.¡¯


    Lei Yuan thought that it was better not to bring these soldiers along, just in case.


    ¡°Let me personally arrange the rescue team,¡± Ofia suddenly said. ¡°The person we are rescuing is an envoy of an allied nation. We can¡¯t take this lightly.¡±


    Ofia thought about it for a moment before she said, ¡°I think, in order to ensure the success of the rescue mission, it¡¯s better if I don¡¯t bring you guys along for the time being.¡±


    She said this to the enemy soldiers, and it immediately provoked their dissatisfaction.


    ¡°Why?! We¡¯ve already devoted ourselves to Warrior Lei Yuan. You¡¯ve seen our performance on the battlefield. We couldn¡¯t possibly have any ulterior motives.¡±


    ¡°Yeah! We even attacked our former general and gave you a plan. Isn¡¯t that enough to prove our loyalty?¡±


    If they, as soldiers, could not go to battle, then what was the meaning of their existence?


    If they were not trusted in the first war after they defected to this country, what about in the future?


    The soldiers found this incredibly unbearable, and they were furious.


    ¡°It¡¯s not like that.¡± Ofia shook her head and explained, ¡°The enemy this time is your former superior. It¡¯s easy for the enemy to discover you if you go out to battle because they know that you are traitors.¡±


    Perhaps it was because these words were spoken by Ofia that the soldiers could not accept them. They still felt that the Queen did not trust them, and that she was taking the lead to ostracize them.


    Therefore, the soldiers turned to Lei Yuan and complained about the injustice. ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, if we still can¡¯t be trusted, I don¡¯t know what the point is in staying here.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Warrior Lei Yuan. I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll be implicated if you stay here. It¡¯s better to leave here sooner rather than later. We¡¯ll all follow you!¡±


    They had stayed in this country not for Ofia, but for Lei Yuan. They were only willing to follow him because he had convinced them of his strength.


    On the other hand, this Queen did not seem to have anything special about her.


    The atmosphere instantly grew awkward.


    The soldiers¡¯ words were very clear, as if they were just short of saying, ¡°the Queen is incompetent.¡±


    It seemed that in their eyes, Lei Yuan was more powerful.


    ¡°I am honored that you all are willing to follow me, and I can understand everyone¡¯s desire to participate in the battle. However, this situation is indeed very special.


    ¡°Our objective for this operation is to rescue Ambassador Lotti, not to engage in a large-scale battle with the enemy.¡± Lei Yuan comforted them. ¡°Moreover, your identities are indeed very sensitive at this moment. If all of you went to the enemy camp now, you would be easily discovered. I don¡¯t think you want that to happen.¡±


    Perhaps it was because of his Charm that the soldiers did not object to his words.


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan is right. We really didn¡¯t think it through. We¡¯ll listen to your instructions from now on.¡±


    Lei Yuan¡¯s words had calmed everyone down. Such a scene had shocked the ministers. They also did not see Lei Yuan use any spells. Just a few words were enough to calm the agitated soldiers down. How did he do it?


    ¡°This¡­ Lei Yuan is too strong. If such a person defected to another country, it would definitely be a huge threat to us.¡±


    ¡°Lei Yuan is still on our side now. What if he turns against us later¡­ Moreover, I feel that he doesn¡¯t care much for Her Majesty. Should we¡­¡±


    The ministers started discussing again.


    Lei Yuan completely ignored their irrelevant words. He was only going to save Lotti because she had taught him a bit of cultivation before.


    Seeing that the situation was getting more chaotic, Ofia ordered, ¡°Alright, you are all dismissed. I will discuss the remaining matters with Warrior Lei Yuan.¡±


    Thus, the ministers and soldiers left one after another.


    With Lei Yuan¡¯s reassurance, the soldiers no longer had any objections, and Ofia already had a suitable candidate in mind.


    ¡°You can choose soldiers from the elite ranks. As for the captain¡­¡± Ofia hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°I want Knight Eisen to go with you.¡±


    Lei Yuan actually preferred to travel alone. The companions assigned to him might not be willing to cooperate with him, and the soldiers might not trust him.


    If everyone was not united, it was better to act alone.


    However, Lei Yuan still accepted the person she assigned. ¡°Fine, but let me say this first. I may not necessarily accept his orders. I have my own ideas.¡±


    Ofia had no objection to this. She immediately acceded. ¡°If you think that Knight Eisen¡¯s plan is not suitable, you may act alone.¡±


    Ofia had known Lei Yuan for a while now, and she believed that Lei Yuan was not one to act recklessly.


    ¡­


    Before the expedition, Lei Yuan met up with Knight Eisen.


    It was said that this Knight Eisen was a person that Queen Ofia trusted completely, and his abilities were also outstanding.


    However, their first meeting was not pleasant.


    Eisen did not even look him in the eye. He snorted and said, ¡°You are the warrior who brought trouble to our country?¡±


    ¡®This tone¡­¡¯ Lei Yuan did not even feel like responding, but he still said simply, ¡°I¡¯m not exactly a warrior. I just did what I had to do.¡±


    ¡°Tsk!Anyway, if you dare to mess up my plans, don¡¯t blame me for killing you on the spot!¡± Eisen left after saying those harsh words.


    Lei Yuan had a premonition that this operation would not go smoothly. For someone as arrogant as Eisen, it was easy for something to go wrong.


    ¡°What¡¯s he being so arrogant about? He¡¯s not even that capable.¡± The system could not stand it anymore and muttered, ¡°Host, you should speed up your training. You¡¯re clearly stronger than anyone here.¡±


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to say it. I know.¡±


    Apart from that, Lei Yuan also discovered another strange thing.


    The foreign emissaries had said that they were in a hurry to save Lotti, but in this operation, they did not even send a single person from their own camp to help. In response, the other party explained that this was a problem caused by the Aifell Empire and that they should solve it themselves.


    Lei Yuan still felt that something was not right. Since Lotti was such an important mage in their country, they had to send at least a few people to rescue her.


    He had expressed his doubts to Ofia and reminded her, ¡°Those foreign emissaries are a little strange. When you deal with your traitorous officials, make sure to pay attention to them.¡±


    Ofia also had a plan in mind. ¡°Are you worried about me? Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m the Queen. I¡¯ll be fine,¡± said Ofia with a slight blush on her face.


    ¡°Your business has nothing to do with me.¡± Lei Yuan hurriedly distanced himself. ¡°Of course, I will keep the promise I made to you.¡±

    He was referring to helping her remove the curse. Since he said he would do his best, he would not go back on his word.


    Ofia took his words to heart and secretly thought about how she could investigate the foreign emissaries.


    Soon, it was time for Lei Yuan to head out. Although he was the one who had selected the soldiers, all of them chose to follow behind Knight Eisen and ignore Lei Yuan.


    It seemed that he was the leader of this campaign in name only, and everyone looked down on him.


    Lei Yuan did not let the issue linger in his mind. His goal was to rescue Lotti. How he went about it was irrelevant to him.


    However, as the leader, he still had to ensure the safety of the soldiers and knights.


    When they were halfway through the march, Lei Yuan became a little confused by the surrounding terrain.


    In order to prevent any accidents from happening, Lei Yuan asked, ¡°Knight Eisen, this is my first time coming to this area, and I am not familiar with the terrain. Therefore, I cannot formulate a battle plan, so I need to ask for your advice first.¡±


    He knew that the other person did not like him, but at least they were working together, so he probably would not make things difficult for Lei Yuan in terms of tactics, right?


    But this time, Lei Yuan had assumed wrong.


    ¡°Can¡¯t you just take a look at the terrain and figure it out?¡± Eisen snorted coldly. He refused to tell Lei Yuan about the surrounding terrain, and instead waved his hand and gave an order. ¡°Everyone, follow me!¡±


    He was planning to completely ignore Lei Yuan!


    The soldiers who were following behind were originally concerned about the Queen¡¯s orders and did not dare to act so recklessly towards Lei Yuan. However, when they saw Knight Eisen¡¯s attitude, they stopped worrying and openly revealed their hatred for Lei Yuan on their faces. They said, ¡°As Knight Eisen commands!¡±


    As for Lei Yuan, they would never acknowledge him as a knight!


    Lei Yuan¡¯s expression was a little complicated. He did not say anything and just followed the team silently. His goal was to save Lotti, not to fight with this group of people.


    Seeing that he did not oppose, Eisen thought he was afraid and became even more arrogant.


    In this team, Lei Yuan was the nominal leader, but he was a newcomer who was not respected by the soldiers. Eisen had the real power here.


    The group continued to march forward. Along the way, Eisen gave orders without consulting Lei Yuan each time, and Lei Yuan did not object.


    However, this did not mean that he was completely ignorant of matters. From the looks of it, these orders were not harmful to the team as a whole, so he did not interfere.


    He reminded himself, ¡®Just focus on saving Lotti. Don¡¯t bother with anything else.¡¯


    Finally, the group arrived near the enemy camp. The bushes here hid their figures well.


    At this moment, the enemy camp was very quiet. There was no one guarding it.


    Lei Yuan immediately became vigilant.


    There was something wrong with this scene. How could there be no one patrolling a military camp? Could it be that the enemy knew that they would come, so he set up an ambush in advance?


    ¡°Hmph! They don¡¯t even have any defenses. They¡¯re really not taking us seriously!¡± Eisen snorted and immediately gave the order, ¡°Everyone, charge! You must rescue Ambassador Lotti!¡±


    ¡°Yes, sir!¡±


    This shocked Lei Yuan. Eisen was a knight, after all! How could he be so brainless?


    Lei Yuan immediately stopped everyone, ¡°Stop! It¡¯s an ambush!¡±


    The soldiers stopped and looked at Lei Yuan with dissatisfaction, but they were also half-convinced of his words, so they did not move forward.


    ¡°An ambush?¡± Eisen laughed. ¡°Where did you get that from? There¡¯s no one guarding the camp. Isn¡¯t it a good time to attack?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t you think this is too unusual?¡± Lei Yuan hurriedly explained, ¡°They must have known that we would come to rescue her when they captured Lotti. How could they not be prepared? They must have set up an ambush for us!¡±


    ¡®Can¡¯t they see such an obvious scheme? It can¡¯t be possible that they¡¯d ignore it, right?¡¯


    However, Eisen¡¯s reply really surprised Lei Yuan.


    ¡°If you¡¯re afraid to go, just say so. There¡¯s no need to beat around the bush!¡± Eisen said disdainfully, ¡°Do you really think our soldiers are all as cowardly as you?¡±


    Lei Yuan¡¯s head was full of questions marks. He was only reminding them to be careful of an ambush. What was this person thinking? Or maybe Eisen was actually stupid?


    ¡°Did you listen to what I said just now?¡± Lei Yuan repeated, ¡°They¡¯ve obviously set up an ambush. If you attack now, you¡¯ll be courting death! Or did you forget that we have the lives of our soldiers to account for?!¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t give me that b*llcrap!¡± Eisen obviously did not want to listen to Lei Yuan. He continued, ¡°So what if there¡¯s an ambush? You think we can¡¯t beat them? Our country doesn¡¯t need cowards like you!¡±


    ¡®Fine, there¡¯s no point in trying to talk sense into him.¡¯ Lei Yuan pondered, ¡®Why don¡¯t I act alone?¡¯


    Not only would he be dragged down by this group of people, but it would also be a thankless task.


    After that, Lei Yuan gave up on trying to dissuade them and allowed Eisen to lead the team into attacking the camp.


    He planned to find an opportunity to sneak into the military camp, rescue Lotti, and escape.


    Everything happened as Lei Yuan had expected. After Eisen led his men into the military camp, they were immediately ambushed.


    However, what Lei Yuan did not expect was that there was actually only one person in the military camp who attacked them. Even if it was just one person, he beat Eisen and the soldiers back until they had to retreat away from the camp. This shocked Eisen.


    ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for you for a long time!¡± The man slowly stepped forward. He had no weapon in his hand, and there was only a Hydra wrapped around his body. ¡°Today, none of you shall leave alive!¡±


    The group had been pushed back quite a distance. Eisen did not expect there to really be an ambush waiting for them. But when he saw that there was only one person and a snake as their opponents, he breathed a sigh of relief. They had more people, so they could still defeat this guy.


    Eisen waved his hand. ¡°You haven¡¯t won yet! Men, let¡¯s attack together and take him down! That is a legendary beast, a ferocious Hydra. We must capture it and present it to Her Majesty!¡±


    The Hydra was almost unheard of, as it was a rare mythical beast. If they could capture it, it would certainly be a great accomplishment.


    The soldiers seemed to have been greatly encouraged, and they charged forward all at once.


    Lei Yuan was speechless. How did Eisen become a knight? He was truly brainless.


    The enemy was not dumb. If they did not have complete confidence, how could they have sent only one person to confront them?


    Moreover, that was a Hydra!


    Through the system, Lei Yuan checked the levels of the man and beast. These were not low-level grunts. Especially the Hydra. Lei Yuan¡¯s Charm attribute would be completely useless against it.


    ¡°That fool. He deserves to die!¡± The system could not help but complain, ¡°Host, you can¡¯t win by fighting head-on.¡±


    ¡®Then how should I do it?¡¯ Lei Yuan pondered.


    Charm did not work, and neither would brute force. They were too strong.


    Lei Yuan thought about what method he could use, while Eisen¡¯s team was beaten up by the man and his beast. This man knew that Eisen was the leader, so he controlled the Hydra to swallow him whole.


    Eisen¡¯s weapon was knocked aside during the battle, and he did not even have the strength to pick it up. All he could do was watch as the Hydra approached him.


    ¡®What can I do? Am I really going to die here?¡¯


    ¡°Look over here!¡±

    A man¡¯s voice came from not far away. The man did not pay much heed to it at first. He was still controlling the Hydra, which was preparing to swallow Eisen straight into its stomach.


    Lei Yuan threw a stone and it hit the Hydra.


    It would have been negligible if it had been an ordinary stone. However, after the stone hit the Hydra, it suddenly burst out with a golden light.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡±


    The man¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly rummaged through his items. ¡®Oh no¡­¡¯


    Eisen and the others took this opportunity to escape from the Hydra.


    After the golden light died down, the Hydra had disappeared, and the stone that was thrown out just now had also changed.


    ¡°This¡­ This is¡­¡± The soldiers widened their eyes as they watched the stone, which was actually a magic artifact, return to Lei Yuan¡¯s hand.


    Where did the Hydra go?


    ¡°That¡¯s a legendary god-tier sealing artifact.¡± Eisen¡¯s expression gradually became serious. ¡°That magic artifact can seal ferocious beasts!¡±


    Lei Yuan¡¯s cultivation level was not high. How could he possess such a thing?


    At this moment, Lei Yuan was also dumbfounded. His original intention was to divert the Hydra¡¯s attention so that he could think of other ways to deal with it later. He did not expect the stone that he had randomly picked up to actually be a magic artifact!


    ¡°Host! Your luck is too good! This god-tier artifact is quite useful! In the future, if you encounter ferocious beasts that you can¡¯t defeat, you can use this to seal them!¡± The system was extremely happy. This was equivalent to the host snatching up a huge bargain!


    When the magic artifact returned to his hand, Lei Yuan fiddled with it for a while. It seemed to be no different from an ordinary item.


    ¡°So, how do I summon the Hydra?¡± Lei Yuan asked in confusion.


    ¡°Let¡¯s not summon it for the time being.¡± The system also added, ¡°Host, your current level is not enough to subdue the Hydra. You can try summoning it when your cultivation has increased.¡±


    No matter what, having a magic artifact and a fierce beast was not a bad thing.


    As for when he could completely subdue this ferocious Hydra, that was a matter for the future.


    Meanwhile, the enemy was furious. This was a terrible mistake!


    He had originally prepared that magic artifact to prevent the Hydra from losing control. After all, the Hydra was too strong. If he could not control it, he would only get himself killed.


    But not only did he fail to subdue the enemy, he also lost his beast and magic artifact. Without a single beast, he had no chance of winning at all. After analyzing the situation, the man turned and ran.


    ¡°Take him down!¡± Eisen noticed this and ordered his subordinates to rush over and capture the enemy.


    The man still tried to resist, but Lei Yuan easily stopped him.


    Immediately afterward, the system notification sounded in Lei Yuan¡¯s mind.


    ¡°Your Charm has increased!¡±


    ¡®It increased¡­ at this time?!¡¯


    Lei Yuan did not think much of it at first, but then he saw the soldiers who were fighting turn to look at him with admiration in their eyes.


    This gaze! Lei Yuan had become all too familiar with this gaze. The soldiers who came on this mission finally wanted to follow him!


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, we were blind and misunderstood you. If you need anything from now on, you can tell us at any time.¡±


    ¡°I hope you can forgive us! We will definitely obey your orders in the future!¡±


    After that, the captured enemy began to worship him as well!


    He quickly expressed his loyalty to Lei Yuan, ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, I admire you very much. Please let me follow you from now on! You can ask me for any information you need! I know a lot.¡±


    Originally, Lei Yuan had planned to have his subordinates bring down the enemy to interrogate him. He did not expect that with the increase in his Charm, even this guy would become his admirer. This saved him a lot of trouble.


    ¡°Then tell me everything you know,¡± Lei Yuan said simply.


    The man did not hesitate to reveal a lot of valuable information, including the possible location of Lotti¡¯s imprisonment.


    ¡°That¡¯s all I know. I¡¯m sorry if it¡¯s not helpful.¡± Compared to his previous arrogance, he was now more humble and polite.


    Lei Yuan nodded. ¡°It¡¯s fine. You¡¯ve given me plenty.¡± A lot of this information was useful. Lei Yuan had to make arrangements later to rescue Lotti. ¡°Can you take us there? We want to save Lotti at once.¡±


    Since there was only one person here, the enemy would definitely not know that this man had submitted to him. Then, he could become a spy and work for Lei Yuan from the inside.


    Lei Yuan even had a plan in mind. However¡­


    ¡°Take him away!¡± Eisen suddenly said. His voice was deep and filled with anger.


    ¡°Knight Eisen, uh¡­¡±


    The soldiers of the small team were in a dilemma. On one side was a famous knight of their country, and on the other was a person they admired very much. It seemed that it was not good to only choose one side.


    ¡°This is an order! Take him away and watch him closely!¡±


    The team of soldiers looked at Lei Yuan. When he did not say anything, they did as Eisen ordered and took the man away.


    When Lei Yuan and Eisen were left alone, Lei Yuan did not want to stay with him, so he took his magic artifact and left.


    ¡°Stop right there. Leave those behind before you leave,¡± Eisen suddenly said.


    ¡°You mean this?¡± Lei Yuan waved the magic artifact in his hand.¡±


    ¡°What else?¡± Eisen reached out with his hand. ¡°Give me the magic artifact. I want to offer it to Her Majesty.¡±


    How could he say such things so confidently?


    Lei Yuan sneered and said, ¡°I subdued the Hydra and saved your life. What right do you have to ask me to hand it over to you so that you can take credit for it?¡±


    What a whimsical idea! Did this man think he was stupid? Eisen even wanted to show off with the object someone else has obtained.


    ¡°Anyway, you have to give it to me!¡± Eisen did not explain and was still very domineering.


    Lei Yuan did not indulge him. Instead, he criticized, ¡°Knight Eisen, you acted on your own and caused the soldiers to be injured when it could have been avoided. If I report this matter to Her Majesty, what do you think she will say?¡±


    ¡®Her Majesty¡­¡¯ Eisen¡¯s face darkened.


    ¡°My orders were not wrong,¡± insisted Eisen. ¡°Even without you, we wouldn¡¯t have been in any danger. That was just my plan. But your interference messed everything up.¡±


    Inside Lei Yuan¡¯s mind, the system could not help but complain, ¡°I may not have a corporeal body, but I know what bullsh*t smells like. If the host hadn¡¯t saved you, your life would have been long gone!


    ¡°A knight like him actually dares to take credit for someone else¡¯s work?! If we had known earlier, we would have let him get eaten by the Hydra! Then, you would have one less opponent, host!¡±


    Lei Yuan had thought that after this incident, Eisen would have a better impression of him, but he did not expect the knight¡¯s character to remain unchanged.


    Normally, Lei Yuan would not care about this. But since Knight Eisen had set his sights on the magic artifact, Lei Yuan would not show weakness.


    ¡°You said that you would have succeeded without me. Can you really bear to say that?¡± Lei Yuan rephrased his question, ¡°If I had not intervened, do you really think you would still be alive?¡±


    This time, Eisen avoided directly answering the question.

 Chapter 16

    He lowered his head slightly, and there seemed to be a little guilt on his face. However, Lei Yuan did not notice this subtle change.


    The guilt only lasted for a moment.


    Eisen continued to stay stubborn against Lei Yuan. ¡°That was our plan from the beginning, but you suddenly interfered and ruined everything. You just sat back and took advantage of an opportunity. You¡¯re even trying to justify it. I¡¯ve never seen someone like you before. Why are you so anxious to take credit, huh? Afraid that you won¡¯t be able to stay in our country?¡±


    ¡®Who¡¯s the one here actively trying to claim all the credit and reap the benefits?!¡¯


    Lei Yuan laughed coldly. ¡°That Hydra was right in front of you just now. It almost bit your head off! I was the one who threw that rock, and after the Hydra was subdued, the magic artifact returned to my hand on its own. What right do you have to take the magic artifact and the Hydra?¡±


    ¡®He shouldn¡¯t bully others so brazenly! Does he really think that I¡¯m easy to push around?¡¯


    It was true that he didn¡¯t have much power back then and needed to train hard to reach a level where he could convince others of his ability. However, this did not mean he would let someone walk all over him.


    ¡°If we hadn¡¯t fought the Hydra for so long, do you think you could have subdued it so easily?¡±No matter what, Eisen refused to admit his failure.He had to get this magic artifact.


    If Lei Yuan brought the magic artifact and the Hydra back to the country, Her Majesty would definitely value him even more. By then, what would Eisen¡¯s position be?


    No, he had to snatch the magic artifact, by all means!


    ¡°But from the battle just now, you didn¡¯t attack the Hydra at all. If you had attacked, you would have only died in vain,¡± Lei Yuan retorted sternly.


    The argument between the two grew more intense. At the same time, the soldiers in the team also began to discuss.


    ¡°Lei Yuan is obviously very powerful. Why would Knight Eisen say that about him? There is nothing to be embarrassed about admitting that he was inferior to another.¡±


    ¡°I think what Warrior Lei Yuan said makes sense. If he hadn¡¯t subdued the Hydra in time, we might have all died. I don¡¯t understand why Knight Eisen would lie through his teeth.¡±


    ¡°Keep your voice down. No matter what, he¡¯s still our superior. Aren¡¯t you afraid of angering him?¡±


    ¡°So what? What we said was the truth. Knight Eisen was saved by Lei Yuan, yet he¡¯s still badmouthing him. This kind of person is not worthy of being a knight!¡±


    ¡­


    Their discussion grew louder and louder, and their words more or less traveled to the ears of Lei Yuan and Eisen.


    Eisen¡¯s expression was naturally very ugly.


    Many of these people were soldiers who had followed him for many years. How many times had they gone through life and death together? He would have never imagined that they would actually speak up for someone else today! And it was someone they had previously looked down on!


    He suddenly remembered that during the war, the enemy soldiers suddenly worshipped Lei Yuan for some reason.


    What was the reason? At least in Eisen¡¯s opinion, Lei Yuan had not done anything, so how did he gain so much admiration?


    The grandeur of it all left Lei Yuan speechless as well.


    ¡°My Charm is too strong,¡± he muttered. He really did not expect it to have such an effect on people.


    ¡°It¡¯s normal! You¡¯re still too weak, host, or else this Knight Eisen would have listened to you obediently. Therefore, you should work hard and become stronger. Perhaps one day, all your enemies will be mesmerized by you.¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless.


    Although it sounded ridiculous, it did not seem impossible. When this mission was over, he would go back and speed up his cultivation.


    ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡±


    Suddenly, an unusual voice appeared in the crowd. It was obvious that it was not someone from the Aifell Empire.


    It was the captive who spoke, and he was in favor of Lei Yuan.


    ¡°I personally controlled the Hydra, so I know the situation best. You were clearly almost eaten by the Hydra, so it would be strange if you thought you were winning! I really don¡¯t know what you¡¯re pretending to be!¡±


    Eisen was speechless. That statement left no room for negotiation, and it was almost equivalent to slapping him hard in the face.


    There were still a few soldiers who were not ensnared by Lei Yuan¡¯s Charm, and they began to argue with him.


    ¡°You, an enemy, have no right to speak!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. It¡¯s our country¡¯s own business. Why are you getting involved?!¡±


    ¡°After you come back with us, you should just await your judgment!¡±


    Eisen did not care about the objections at all. He just called out to the soldiers who were still loyal to him, saying, ¡°Since we already know where Ambassador Lotti is being held, we¡¯ll set off to rescue her now!¡±


    ¡®What? Set off now?¡¯


    ¡°Stop!¡± Lei Yuan immediately said. ¡°What do you mean by this? We just finished a fierce battle. If you want to go to your death now, no one will stop you, but aren¡¯t you forgetting to give more consideration for your soldiers¡¯ lives?¡±


    ¡°Shut up! I don¡¯t need to be restricted by you!¡±


    Although he said that, Eisen had already toned down his attitude. ¡°I will take care of my soldiers. You don¡¯t have to worry about that!¡±


    ¡°What protection do you have? Why didn¡¯t you use it when you were almost eaten by the Hydra.¡±


    Lei Yuan was not holding back anymore, and his response left Eisen speechless.


    ¡°You¡­!¡±Eisen clenched his fists.


    In the end, he did not send his troops out immediately after the battle, and instead brought everyone back to their previous stronghold to settle down.


    Lei Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. He signaled his subordinates to follow him back.


    He thought about something as he walked.


    If this continued, it would be very disadvantageous to the rescue operation.After all, they were a team, and the two leaders were too different from each other.


    Of course, Lei Yuan felt that the main problem was still Eisen. He had no doubt about this.


    Moreover, he was curious why Eisen was so hostile toward him. He was a knight, but would he still form biased impressions of someone based on rumors and hearsay?


    After returning to the camp, Lei Yuan found a soldier to answer his questions about Eisen¡¯s reasons. The soldier had been in the army for a long time and knew a lot about Knight Eisen.


    ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t know the exact reason, but I remember that when Knight Eisen joined the army, he was highly valued by the Queen. Before you came, he was always a favorite of the Queen.¡±


    Lei Yuan roughly understood what was going on. To put it bluntly, it was jealousy.


    Lei Yuan recalled the scene of him being proposed to by the Queen when he first arrived¡­He could not help but feel ashamed.


    Ever since he came to this country, the Queen had never reduced her attention toward him.For Eisen to not be able to accept this difference for a while was normal.


    ¡°I remember now,¡± continued the soldier. ¡°After the order was given, Knight Eisen was very angry. He didn¡¯t understand why his position was lower than yours.¡±


    It was indeed hard to accept that someone who had been in the military for so long was suddenly a subordinate to a newcomer.


    This was the Queen¡¯s arrangement, which meant that in the Queen¡¯s eyes, he was inferior to Lei Yuan. This was an insult to him.


    Lei Yuan could not help but sigh.


    If possible, he would not want to be the leader, either. He would rather have Eisen lead the troops. And indeed, it was Eisen who always led the charge.

 Chapter 17

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    He did not have any real power, but even so, he was targeted by Eisen.


    In fact, Lei Yuan did not really care whether he was targeted or not, as long as they could rescue Lotti, everything would be fine.


    The problem was that their current disagreement was already affecting the rescue operation.


    After understanding this reason, Lei Yuan pondered for a while before he finally decided to talk to Eisen.


    It was not ideal for them to continue like this. If something really went wrong, the one to bear the responsibility would still be Lei Yuan, the nominal leader.


    After asking around, Lei Yuan went to Eisen¡¯s tent. However, he did not expect to find it empty!


    He was shocked and rushed out of the tent. Only then did he notice that the camp was too quiet. It did not seem like there was anyone around at all.


    At this moment, a soldier walked out of another tent. Lei Yuan quickly grabbed him and questioned, ¡°Where did Eisen go?¡±


    It was not just Eisen, some of the soldiers had also disappeared.


    The man was frightened, but he still answered truthfully, ¡°Knight Eisen, he¡­ he led the soldiers with him on the rescue mission.¡±


    ¡®Oh goddammit! That guy really doesn¡¯t listen to advice at all!¡¯


    ¡°Damn it!¡±Lei Yuan pushed the soldier away and went to gather everyone else.


    After learning that Knight Eisen had already led his men out, the soldiers who followed Lei Yuan began to curse.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong with him?We told him not to act on his own, but he still led the other soldiers to go to battle. He¡¯s really not taking everyone¡¯s lives seriously!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right! Lei Yuan has already made everything clear, so why is he still acting so obstinately? What if they all got wiped out?¡±


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan is the leader of this operation. He will be responsible for any accidents. Is Eisen doing this on purpose?¡±


    Lei Yuan immediately silenced everyone.


    ¡°Now is not the time to argue. Everyone, get yourselves ready and follow me.¡±


    He had to act even if he did not want to.


    Eisen took quite a few people with him. They could not afford to make any mistakes, otherwise even if they won, they would be criticized by their countrymen when they returned home.


    Since Eisen was able to become a knight, it showed that he was not a simple person. They could not afford to lose him in this situation.


    Everyone obeyed Lei Yuan¡¯s orders unconditionally and immediately followed him.


    ¡­


    When they arrived at the enemy camp, the scene was unusually quiet, and there were no signs of fighting on the ground.


    Lei Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.


    This was good. It meant that nothing had happened yet. They needed to find the rest of their people before anything happened.


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, what should we do next? We don¡¯t know where Knight Eisen is, either. Wouldn¡¯t it be bad if we clash with their plan?¡± a soldier asked.


    Lei Yuan thought for a while and said, ¡°Since the battle hasn¡¯t started, it means that Knight Eisen hasn¡¯t arrived yet. Let¡¯s act first.¡±


    What?


    The soldier did not quite understand, but Lei Yuan already had a plan.


    He immediately applied to open the system store and looked for what he wanted among the dazzling array of goods.


    If he remembered correctly, there was medicine here that he needed.


    The system asked, ¡°What are you searching for? Tell me, and I¡¯ll pull it out for you.¡±


    ¡°I want some anesthetics to knock out the enemy.¡±


    Lei Yuan thought, ¡®Wouldn¡¯t it be easier to take action if the enemy was knocked out?¡¯


    ¡°That¡¯s a good idea.¡±The system somehow managed to pull up a series of drugs. ¡°There are sprays, smoke grenades, and water-soluble types¡ª¡±


    Lei Yuan interrupted its introduction, ¡°As long as it can knock out the enemy, anything is fine. Just don¡¯t let our soldiers be affected.¡±


    The system was about to recommend the spray-type, which could knock out one person at a time. But the method seemed too slow, and if a group of people found them, it would be troublesome.


    Thus, the system recommended the smoke grenade. ¡°However, in order to ensure that the medicine is used on the enemy, it is recommended to use it while upwind, to avoid any backlash.¡±


    Lei Yuan sensed that the wind was indeed blowing in his direction.¡±Understood.¡±


    After purchasing the drug, Lei Yuan lit up the smoke grenade and used a wind spell to blow the smoke toward the enemy camp.The soldiers did not even notice when Lei Yuan had taken out the smoke grenade.


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, what is this?¡± Some of them were curious and wanted to get closer to the smoke.


    Lei Yuan immediately hissed, ¡°Don¡¯t come any closer!¡±


    Someone realized what it was and explained, ¡°It¡¯s smoke with an anesthetic effect. After inhaling it, one will fall into a deep sleep.¡± After that, the others did not ask further.


    After the smoke had spread to a certain extent, Lei Yuan retracted his spell, and the smoke grenade also burned out.


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, if that¡¯s the case, will our movements be hampered by the drug?¡±


    The soldiers were a little worried. After all, the smoke was dense and would not immediately disperse. Once they stepped into this area, they would inevitably be affected.


    ¡°We still need to wait a while before we make our move.¡±


    Before using the smoke grenade, the system had told him that the smoke would completely dissipate in half an hour. Those who were affected by the smoke would sleep for ten hours, which was quite safe for them.


    If the smoke was not enough, Lei Yuan would use his Charm to control the beasts in the area to create some chaos, giving them enough time to save Lotti. With the beasts around, even if someone was lucky enough to not be knocked out, they would have no time to care about the intruders.


    ¡­


    After a while, there was still no movement from the enemy camp, so Lei Yuan prepared to lead his men inside.


    Just then, a group of people suddenly appeared in the enemy¡¯s camp. Upon closer inspection, they were none other than Eisen and the people he led.


    As they got closer, Lei Yuan realized that they were being chased. He was speechless at this.


    What else could he say? He had repeatedly warned them not to act on their own. It was no surprise that this was happening.


    Moreover, Lei Yuan noticed that they were only being chased by enemy soldiers. The leader of the camp had not shown up yet.


    ¡°Are they that weak?¡± Lei Yuan cursed silently at his useless teammates.


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan! It¡¯s Knight Eisen and his men!¡±Soon enough, the other soldiers also noticed that the people being pursued were indeed Eisen and his men.¡±Let¡¯s go save them.¡±


    Although they had a lot of opinions about Eisen, he was still one of their comrades. They had to save him.


    ¡°Wait a minute.¡±Lei Yuan stopped them. After thinking for a while, he made his decision. ¡°Ignore them for now.¡±


    They could not let Eisen and his men disrupt their plans.It was already in motion, and if they interfered now, who knew what would happen? Moreover, with Eisen¡¯s personality, he might even turn against them.


    At the thought of this, Lei Yuan became even more determined to not care about Eisen and his men for now.


    Although the soldiers were on Lei Yuan¡¯s side, it was still difficult for them to completely ignore the safety of their comrades.


    ¡°This¡­ doesn¡¯t seem right. Why don¡¯t we split up? One team will go help them, while the others follow Lei Yuan to rescue Ambassador Lotti?¡±


    Lei Yuan flat out rejected it. ¡°The plan comes first!¡±


    Besides, if he didn¡¯t teach Eisen a lesson, the knight would actually think he was invincible. This time, Lei Yuan would let him have a taste of the consequences of his reckless actions.


    The soldiers wanted to say something more, but they kept quiet, because they still trusted Lei Yuan.

 Chapter 18

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    After that, everyone followed Lei Yuan and began to move.


    Lei Yuan was not familiar with everything in the enemy camp. Even though the former enemy general had told him where Lotti was being held, he did not know how to get there.


    Just as he was thinking this, Lei Yuan was about to ask the general, who had tagged along, when he suddenly said, ¡°By the way, I haven¡¯t asked for your name yet.¡±


    This person had been captured and it seemed like he would be staying in their country from now on, yet Lei Yuan had not even asked for their name yet.


    ¡°My¡­ My name is Morris.¡±


    The name felt so unfamiliar, he even felt strange saying it out loud.


    It seemed that after enlisting in the military, very few people called him by his name. Most of the time, they referred to his official title.


    Lei Yuan did not notice his unusual emotions and just said, ¡°Morris, lead the way. Only you know where Lotti is.¡±


    Naturally, Morris should lead the way. Were they not here to save someone in the first place? After many twists and turns, they finally stopped in front of a small tent.


    This place looked very remote and inconspicuous, but there were many tents around the small one. There was even an iron fence behind the tents. If there had been people from the Yan family guarding this place, it would have been impossible for them to escape. The Yan family were elites who were famous for raising many highly-skilled guards throughout their history.


    However, the people who were guarding this place were all unconscious.


    Lei Yuan lifted the curtain and saw Lotti, who was tied up with iron chains. She looked like she had been through a lot. Her face was pale and she looked very weak.


    However, the moment she saw Lei Yuan, she immediately became excited.


    ¡°What are you doing here? Run! It¡¯s a trap!¡±


    What was that? Lei Yuan¡¯s brain spun quickly.


    ¡®The guards at the door are clearly knocked out. Why¡­But Lotti looks very anxious. She can¡¯t be lying.¡¯


    Lei Yuan decided to leave with the soldiers immediately.


    ¡°Everyone, retreat!¡±


    He hoped that there was still time. However, the moment he turned around, Lei Yuan heard a burst of arrogant laughter.


    ¡°Hahaha, I knew you would come! You¡¯ve been tricked!¡±


    This voice¡­ Lei Yuan remembered that it was the general from the battlefield. He did not expect it to be a ploy!


    Enemy soldiers appeared from all corners, and the general walked in from behind the tent curtain. When he saw that the person who fell into the trap was Lei Yuan, he was a little surprised.


    ¡°It¡¯s actually you.¡± The general paused for a moment before he continued to laugh, ¡°I thought you had some other skills! I never thought, hehehe, that you would also fall for my trap.¡±


    Lei Yuan was baffled by this. He did not think that he was particularly special. Was it any surprise that he fell for a trap?


    ¡®No! Now is not the time to think about this!¡¯ Lei Yuan was on high alert, but he still maintained a calm expression on his face.


    Just from looking at his side profile, it was surprising to find that Lei Yuan¡¯s face was¡­ quite attractive?


    For some reason, the enemy soldiers who followed behind the general suddenly felt that they could not breathe.


    They were not gay! Why did their heart beat faster when they saw Lei Yuan?!


    ¡°Host, your performance is wonderful. Your Charm has increased again,¡± said the system.


    Lei Yuan was a little surprised. He clearly did not do anything just now.However, he was already used to the admiring gazes of the people around him, so he did not think much of it.


    Still, just this small increase in Charm had a huge impact on the enemy soldiers.


    Immediately, some of them submitted to Lei Yuan right away and expressed their loyalty to him.


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan! You looked so cool just now. We admire you very much! We want to follow you from now on! I hope you can accept us!¡±


    ¡®What?¡¯


    Lei Yuan¡¯s mouth twitched as he thought in his heart, ¡°My Charm only increased a little. There¡¯s no need to be so exaggerated.¡±


    ¡°Although it has only increased by one point, the overall level has also been enhanced. This is a qualitative leap! The impact on the enemy would naturally multiply.¡±The system snorted lightly, as if it was showing off its ability. ¡°See, it won¡¯t be too bad if you follow me!¡±


    ¡®But I¡¯m faring any better right now¡­¡¯


    Lei Yuan did not complain. Instead, he gathered his soldiers, including the enemy soldiers who had submitted to him moments ago.


    ¡°Everyone, since you¡¯ve already pledged your allegiance to me, remember to listen to my orders for all future actions,¡± he calmly commanded. His elegant posture caused the enemy general to gasp.


    What was going on? Why did he feel like his heart was beating faster and his face was burning?


    According to his past experience, this was a sign of liking someone else. Could it be that he liked Lei Yuan? This was impossible!


    The general quickly went into denial. He was sure that he would never fall in love with a man!


    However, he really felt that Lei Yuan was a good person.


    The general suddenly realized that this was not the first time such a thing had happened.


    Previously on the battlefield, many of his country¡¯s soldiers suddenly defected to Lei Yuan¡¯s side, did they not?


    Today, it happened again.


    Not only that, but even he himself¡­ This was really abnormal.


    Since they did not have such a reaction to anyone else, it meant that the problem definitely lay in Lei Yuan.


    ¡°What sorcery did you use?¡± The general forced himself to calm down. ¡°How about this: If you tell me how you made the soldiers and beasts obey you, I¡¯ll let you go.¡±


    ¡®This kind of thing¡­¡¯ Lei Yuan raised his eyebrows, thinking that he had gotten a great bargain.


    ¡°Of course, I can tell you, but I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t believe me at all.¡±He was even certain that the other party would think he was crazy.


    ¡°As long as you tell me the truth, I will naturally believe you. So, what spell did you use?¡± the general asked.


    ¡®A spell?¡¯ Lei Yuan chuckled, ¡°I didn¡¯t use a spell. Everyone worships me because of my Charm.¡±


    He was not lying. It was precisely because his Charm had increased that everyone worshipped him.


    However, such words sounded ridiculous to the general. He said without hesitation, ¡°You dare to trick me?!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not playing with you. It¡¯s the truth!¡±Lei Yuan continued, ¡°I did say that you wouldn¡¯t believe me. Whose fault is it if your charisma isn¡¯t enough?¡±


    ¡°Host, please be careful with your words.¡±


    To say such words when the enemy was already enraged, did he not want to live?


    ¡°I mean, I didn¡¯t use any spells to attract the soldiers, it¡¯s simply because I¡¯m charming.¡±


    Lei Yuan felt that continuing to explain would only make the situation worse, so instead he changed the subject. ¡°We made a deal before. If I tell you the truth, you¡¯ll let me go. You can¡¯t go back on your word now.¡±


    ¡°Who would believe your nonsense!?¡±


    The general was extremely furious, and his expression was much uglier than before. He waved his hand, and his magic power spread in all directions. Lei Yuan and the others were forced to retreat quite a distance.


    Lei Yuan became even more serious when he saw such great magical power. For this ordinary-looking general to be so powerful was beyond his expectations.


    But it made sense. Those who were not charmed by him had a very high psychological defense.


    Seeing that Lei Yuan was unharmed, the general seemed dissatisfied and continued to attack. ¡°Since you dare to trick me, you have to pay the price!¡±


    Lei Yuan was also crying out in his heart as he exchanged blows with him.


    ¡®I¡¯m really not playing tricks with you!¡¯

 Chapter 19

    However, it was obvious that the general would not believe it.


    His attacks became more ruthless. Lei Yuan could barely withstand the attacks at first, but as the other party increased his strength, Lei Yuan began to feel powerless.


    The other party was already stronger than him, not to mention that he was using all his strength to just withstand him.


    Very soon, Lei Yuan was forced to retreat step by step. He could even feel the salty, metallic smell of blood coming from his throat.


    Damn it, if this continued, he might die.


    ¡°Let me go!¡±


    Lotti watched anxiously as they fought, and she struggled desperately against her chains.


    This kind of restraint used to be nothing to her.But these people had actually sealed her ability to use spells while she was unconscious!


    Without her spells, Lotti was just a powerless woman.Moreover, this was not an ordinary iron chain, but one that was suffused with a bit of magic, aimed at controlling her!


    But if this fight continued, Lei Yuan would really lose! He might even be killed by the general.


    At the thought of this, Lotti became even more anxious and struggled even harder against her chains.


    Since she could not use any spells, she could only rely on brute force to free herself. Of course, this resulted in her becoming more tightly entangled by the chains.Without the help of a spell, a chain that had been cast with a spell would not break easily.


    What should she do?


    ¡°Stop staying quiet. Think of a way for me!¡± After being repeatedly pushed back, Lei Yuan muttered irritably, ¡°You¡¯re the system, you must have a way to deal with him, right? What¡¯s the point of staying silent?¡±


    The system did not say anything when it should and spoke a lot when it should not.


    ¡°Come on!¡± Lei Yuan urged. ¡°Don¡¯t drop the ball at such a critical moment!¡±


    He knew that the system definitely had a way. He was the system¡¯s host, so the system would not leave him alone because of this.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have a way, but you have to give me some time to think.¡± The system enticed him, ¡°Actually, I have a feeling that you might be able to win this time, Host. Can you hold on a little longer?¡±


    ¡®Hold on my a**! If I held on for much longer, I¡¯d become a cripple!¡¯


    ¡°You better come up with a solution for me quickly! Otherwise, find another host!¡±


    He might really die here!


    Upon hearing this, the system finally dared not speak recklessly. It stated its solution right away, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s very simple to resolve this crisis. Host, you only need to spend 500 Evolution Points, and I can help you escape.¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless.Was this not his system? Why did it have conditions before it was willing to help?


    However, Lei Yuan had no other choice at the moment.If the system did not help, he might die here.


    ¡®500 Evolution Points¡­¡¯ Lei Yuan gritted his teeth and agreed. ¡°Fine, take the 500 Evolution Points. Help me deal with the enemy!¡± After saying that, Lei Yuan did not forget to add, ¡°And save Lotti.¡±


    The purpose of this mission was to save Lotti, and Lei Yuan did not forget that. He could not let himself leave without rescuing her, otherwise all this effort would have been for nothing.


    The system gave an affirmation.


    However, what 500 Evolution Points could do was extremely limited, and could only stun the general for less than a minute.


    Lei Yuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it. ¡®Even if it was only half a minute, I have to take it.¡¯


    ¡°No problem, one minute should be enough for you to rescue her, then!¡±


    ¡®What?¡¯


    He could escape in a minute, but he did not say that he could save Lotti! What was the system thinking? Was it really not afraid that he would die here?


    ¡°Just you wait when we get back!¡±


    ¡®I never imagined that the system would only give me a minute. Stingy thing doesn¡¯t make any concessions at all!¡¯


    Soon, the countdown began, and the general fainted without any warning.


    The surrounding soldiers found it very strange, and even suspected that the general was using trickery to desperately obstruct Lei Yuan, who was going to save the ambassador.


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, please calm down! How could he suddenly faint? There must be a trap! Let¡¯s just run! You can¡¯t go over there!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right! Warrior Lei Yuan, there¡¯s still a chance to save her next time. But if we don¡¯t escape now, we might not have another chance! There¡¯s no need to sacrifice our lives just to save her!¡±


    ¡°Based on my understanding of the general, this is definitely a trap!¡± Morris also joined the soldiers in trying to stop Lei Yuan.


    Lei Yuan was speechless.


    What else could he say? This group of people was indeed doing this for his own good, but¡­If he did not save her now, his one minute would run out!


    ¡°Get out of my way!¡±


    In an instant, Lei Yuan¡¯s Charm was off the charts, and no one dared to stop him.


    ¡°Morris, do you have a way to undo the chains?¡±


    Seeing this, the other man nodded dumbly. Then, he easily undid the chain. He knew what spell was cast on it, so of course he knew how to undo it.


    When the restraints fell away, Lotti dropped to the floor like a ragdoll.


    Lei Yuan could not care less. He picked her up and fled.


    It was also at this moment that the general regained consciousness. When he saw the situation in front of him, he was so angry that he exploded on the spot.


    ¡°Lei Yuan, what did you do to me?!¡±


    Why did everything become so different when this man was on the scene?


    Too manyunexpected things had happened.


    But how could Lei Yuan and the others still have the mood to care about him? They only cared about escaping.


    Everyone fled. Unfortunately, Lei Yuan and the others bumped into Knight Eisen and the others, who were also fleeing.


    The two sides met face to face, and the two leaders looked at each other speechlessly.


    This scene was really something. There were pursuers coming from the front and the rear.They were surrounded!


    ¡°Why are you here?!¡±Eisen asked after a long moment.


    However, this was not the time to worry about this. They were being pincered from both front and back, and there was next to no possibility of escaping.


    Lei Yuan tried to think of a way to escape.However, the system said lightly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯ll be fine.¡±


    ¡®You¡¯re one to talk! If you had bought me one more minute just now, I wouldn¡¯t be in this situation!¡¯


    Lei Yuan complained in his heart, which immediately attracted the system¡¯s dissatisfaction. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say so yourself? Even half a minute was enough.¡±


    When had he ever said such words? Moreover, that was just a thought in his mind!


    ¡°I¡¯ll settle the score with you when we get back!¡±


    Lei Yuan chose to continue charging forward.After all, the enemy chasing him was too strong.


    ¡°Continue running forward!¡±


    Hearing this, Eisen thought that he was crazy.


    ¡°There are so many people in front, how can we break through?¡±


    Lei Yuan had no time to explain. He led his men to the front and prepared to fight head-on.


    No matter how strong these people were, they were definitely not as strong as their general.Therefore, Lei Yuan was willing to take a gamble.


    ¡®Perhaps¡­¡±


    The moment the pursuers in front saw Lei Yuan, their eyes widened.


    ¡°He looks so powerful¡­¡±


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan! We¡¯re willing to follow you for the rest of our lives!¡±


    Lei Yuan had already heard such words countless times, so he was not as shocked as before.


    It seemed that he had made the right bet. As expected, people with weak cultivation would be affected by his Charm.


    ¡°I told you that you would be fine.¡±

 Chapter 20

    The system snorted coldly, ¡°You still don¡¯t believe me! I¡¯m your system, so I know your situation the best.¡±


    ¡°Shut up!¡±


    ¡®This system¡­ Praise it even a little and it gets into its head.¡¯


    The situation had only just begun. The soldiers soon surrendered to Lei Yuan, and the scene left Eisen staring in surprise.


    What ability did Lei Yuan have that could make the enemy submit to him in an instant?!


    ¡°What are you waiting for? Hurry up and run!¡±


    They were not out of the woods yet, what were these idiots doing?


    However, in that instant, the general realized what was going on and gave an order to those who had not been ensnared by Lei Yuan¡¯s Charm. ¡°Hurry up and take him down! Otherwise, none of you shall live!¡±


    With this order, some of the soldiers that had been idling in the rear instantly sobered up and aimed their spearheads at Lei Yuan. Seeing this, Lei Yuan felt that running away like this was not a solution.


    A large group of people running away together was not conducive to their movements.


    And to make matters worse¡­


    There was also Eisen, this unreliable teammate. Who knows if he might pull some kind of trick halfway and doom the whole team!


    After thinking for a moment, Lei Yuan threw Lotti to Eisen. This action surprised everyone.


    ¡°Hey! What are you doing?¡±


    Caught off guard, Lotti instinctively hugged Eisen¡¯s neck, but then she pushed him away with a look of disgust.


    The person she liked was Lei Yuan, not this stupid knight!


    ¡°Eisen, take Lotti and all the soldiers and leave first. I will deal with the enemy.¡±


    As long as he arranged for these two burdens to stay away, he would be free to deal with the enemy as he wished. He might even have more flexibility over this.


    However, what Lei Yuan did not expect was that his actions caused a misunderstanding between Eisen and Lotti.


    They thought that Lei Yuan was doing this to protect them; they thought he was sacrificing himself for the others and using his life to cover for them.


    Eisen was especially touched.


    To think that he used to think that Lei Yuan was not a good person. And yet, he was using his life to protect them! If he continued to think that way, where would his conscience be?


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, I will not abandon you. We will face the danger together!¡±Eisen put Lottidown and looked at Lei Yuan with a sincere gaze.


    ¡®What?¡¯Lei Yuan was stupefied.


    Why did this knight never play by the rules? Did he not hate Lei Yuan very much before? He often acted alone and did not listen to Lei Yuan, yet at this moment, Eisen was actually willing to brave danger with him.


    Lei Yuan remained wary. He did not forget that this Eisen Knight was good at slowing down their progress. If he stayed behind, it could disrupt Lei Yuan¡¯s plan.


    ¡°I¡¯ll stay behind, too! Although my magic power is sealed right now, I can still help!¡± Lotti suddenly said. ¡°I didn¡¯t become my country¡¯s ambassador just because of my talent.¡±


    ¡°Uh¡­¡±Lei Yuan shook his head in disagreement. ¡°No, you have to leave first. Only when you¡¯re safe can this mission be considered a success.¡±


    No matter what, he had to ensure Lotti¡¯s safety.


    ¡°But we can¡¯t leave you behind!¡±Eisen revealed an excited expression. It was completely different from the look he wore earlier when he looked down on Lei Yuan.


    ¡°We are a team. If you don¡¯t come back safely, this operation won¡¯t be a complete success. I will face the enemy together with you!¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless.He hesitated when he saw Eisen¡¯s high spirits.


    However, the stupid things that Eisen had done before still lingered in his mind, and Lei Yuan was still a bit worried.


    However, Lotti agreed with the knight. ¡°It¡¯s settled then! You came to save me, so I can¡¯t just leave you all behind!¡±


    This was the first time Lei Yuan had felt such unity in the team.


    ¡®Maybe¡­ I can give it a chance.¡¯


    However, before Lei Yuan could respond, the general launched an attack.


    ¡°Are you guys ignoring me?!¡±


    He was leading his soldiers in pursuing them, but they were saying such touching words to each other and completely ignoring him!


    Lei Yuan and the others immediately realized this and prepared for battle once more.


    The opponent was still very strong, but this time, everyone was no longer afraid.They felt an unprecedented boost in their morale that was high and strong.


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, Knight Eisen, I believe that you will definitely win! Now that our team is united, we won¡¯t lose to them.¡±


    At this moment, Lotti had great admiration and respect for Lei Yuan.


    He had gone through countless hardships to save her¡­ without any regard for how she treated him in the past¡­


    This meant that she had not misjudged him! Lotti suddenly wanted this man even more.


    Lei Yuan wanted to say something, but he suddenly received a system notification.


    [Charm and Worship Points have increased greatly!]


    ¡®They increased in this kind of situation?¡¯


    ¡°Host, you don¡¯t have to worry. The values of these two attributes have increased quite a bit. You will definitely be fine in this battle!¡±


    ¡®How much is ¡°quite a bit¡±?¡¯ Lei Yuan did not know the numbers, so he was still uncertain.


    But when he saw all the soldiers looking at him with admiration, Lei Yuan¡¯s heart gradually calmed down.


    It was not just the soldiers on his side. In the next moment, the small group of soldiers who had not yet surrendered to him went to his side to swear their loyalty.


    ¡°Humph! There¡¯s no real skill in using numbers to bully us. How about a one-on-one fight with me? If you win against me, I¡¯ll let you go.¡± The general suddenly smiled strangely.


    ¡®A duel?¡¯ Lei Yuan laughed mockingly. ¡°You¡¯re one to talk. Didn¡¯t you bully us with your numbers when you came to attack us in the previous battle? Why are you only talking about fairness with me now?¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re in our territory right now, so naturally I¡¯m the one who calls the shots!¡± The general¡¯s self-righteous tone made Lei Yuan¡¯s soldiers very unhappy, including the general¡¯s own men.


    ¡°Is that the only thing that matters in war? So long as we win, the ends justify the means? Moreover, the general was the one who bullied us first, so what¡¯s wrong with us using the same tactic?¡±


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, you must not agree to his request! If we attack together, we can definitely win this battle!¡±


    Even Eisen was trying to persuade him. ¡°That¡¯s right, Warrior Lei Yuan. I¡¯ll go with you. We¡¯ll win for sure.¡±


    Lei Yuan had his own considerations regarding this. It was undeniable that if everyone attacked together, the chances of winning would be higher, but there would also be some unnecessary sacrifices as a result.


    As for Eisen¡­ Lei Yuan suddenly felt a tremor in his heart. He had a feeling of unease that Eisen might drop the ball again at a critical moment.


    In the end, Lei Yuan decided to accept the challenge himself.


    ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t worry. I can handle him myself.¡± Lei Yuan¡¯s words shocked everyone.


    ¡°No! Warrior Lei Yuan, let us fight with you! It would be our honor!¡±


    ¡°Yes! If we die in this battle, we will die without regrets!¡±


    However, Lei Yuan still refused everyone¡¯s kindness and faced the general alone.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Aren¡¯t you going to stay with your men?¡± The general sneered and felt a little disappointed.


    He could have wiped them out in one fell swoop.

 Chapter 21

    The two of them began to fight.


    It was unclear whether it was due to the collision of their spells or something else, but when the two of them exchanged blows, the surrounding soldiers were pushed back a considerable distance.


    Morris¡¯ expression became even more solemn. He knew that his ex-general was very strong, much stronger than these small fries. However, Morris did not expect that the general¡¯s power could actually fluctuate to such an extent.


    It was not an exaggeration to say that this one-on-one fight was like a hundred men clashing at once.


    And Lei Yuan was actually able to withstand such a move! This was probably going to be a fierce battle.


    ¡°Gosh, he¡¯s that strong? Looks like I was still underestimating him.¡±


    ¡°C-Can he still win? Should we do something?¡±


    ¡°But Warrior Lei Yuan has already said that we can¡¯t help, otherwise it would not be honorable. Let¡¯s wait and see first. If the general really intends to take his life¡­ I absolutely won¡¯t allow it!¡±


    At this point, Lei Yuan was also forced back a considerable distance by the general¡¯s spells.


    His expression immediately became serious. ¡®This person is still so powerful!¡¯


    Lei Yuan had initially thought that he would be able to take him down after a few rounds.


    The system did not expect this, either. Today, it had also followed the overall situation and neglected to check the general¡¯s cultivation level.


    It seemed that it had been hanging around the host for too long, and its functions had all declined.


    ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious. No matter how powerful a person is, they still have flaws.¡±


    That was what Lei Yuan had in mind. But he was afraid that he would not have time to find the general¡¯s weakness before he was killed.


    ¡°How about you tell me something useful instead, like how I can improve my cultivation level quickly? If I don¡¯t have enough Evolution Points, can I pay you on credit first?¡±


    There should be some kind of medicine that could increase one¡¯s cultivation in a short period of time.


    However, the system stated that it did not have a credit system.


    ¡°No way, you don¡¯t even have a credit system? Your system is too outdated!¡±


    Lei Yuan felt helpless and could only continue to evade for the moment.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t it normal that I don¡¯t have a credit system? I¡¯m not a bank.¡± The system pondered. ¡°If you can¡¯t beat him, just stall for a little longer. There¡¯s always a way.¡±


    If Lei Yuan could keep this up, the general¡¯s flaws would eventually reveal themselves.


    Lei Yuan understood what the system meant, but that was assuming that he could actually last that long.


    At this rate, he really could not hold out much longer.


    ¡°Looks like you¡¯re not really that strong! I don¡¯t know why my soldiers are willing to submit to you! You don¡¯t have any charm!¡±


    The more the general thought about it, the more unconvinced he became. He could not wait to kill Lei Yuan at once.


    However, although Lei Yuan did not have much attack power, he was still quite good at dodging. None of the general¡¯s attacks had truly hit him.


    ¡®What¡¯s so good about this guy? For someone as strong as I am, why can¡¯t I beat him?!¡¯


    ¡°I do have Charm, but is that really my fault?¡± Lei Yuan said casually.


    The system was speechless.


    ¡®Isn¡¯t he just trying to provoke the general? What is Lei Yuan doing all of a sudden? Does he want to die?¡¯


    No one knew Lei Yuan¡¯s true thoughts except himself.


    Lei Yuan was indeed trying to provoke the general. It was easier for people to reveal their flaws when they were angry.


    After a moment of hesitation, Lei Yuan quickly found the opponent¡¯s weakness.


    He decided to take a risk and defeat his opponent immediately.


    Thus, while the general was attacking, Lei Yuan rushed forward and attacked his weak point.


    The general did not notice anything unusual at first, he thought that he was about to win and attacked with all his might.


    However, there were always surprises. Just as the two sides were about to collide, Lei Yuan was suddenly pulled back by a strong force and retreated to a safe place.


    Lei Yuan gave a yelp in surprise.


    The ones who had pulled him to safety were the soldiers, including the former enemy soldiers.


    ¡°General, please don¡¯t fight with Warrior Lei Yuan anymore! We don¡¯t want to be enemies with you!¡±


    ¡°Yes, General! On account of the fact that we have been comrades before, please stop fighting. We don¡¯t want to go against you.¡±


    ¡°Why waste your time talking to him? You¡¯re all on our side now, so he definitely considers you enemies.¡±


    The soldiers argued for a while, but they were all in agreement to help Lei Yuan.


    Before Lei Yuan could react, the remaining soldiers forcefully carried him away.


    Lei Yuan was once again dumbfounded.


    Of course, apart from some soldiers, Eisen and Lotti were also following him.


    ¡°What are you doing? I almost won just now!¡±


    ¡®Wouldn¡¯t it be better to teach this arrogant general a lesson?¡¯


    Eisen quickly waved his hand. ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, we understand what you mean. But you don¡¯t have to stall anymore, you¡¯re safe now.¡±


    ¡®Who¡¯s stalling now?!¡¯ Lei Yuan felt so angry that he did not know what to say.


    After they left, the general did not do anything to the soldiers¡­ Because many of them were his subordinates.


    What kind of godly charm did Lei Yuan have to be able to make the others submit to him? Even he himself had almost¡­ The general wanted to understand.


    ¡­


    Finally, when the soldiers were certain that they were safe, they put Lei Yuan down.


    Lei Yuan did not wish to entertain the idea of going back to challenge the general again. Their escape had not been easy.


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s wait for the others for a while longer before we return to our country.¡±


    They had already rescued the ambassador, so there was nothing else for them to do after that.


    ¡°How did you do it?¡± Eisen asked. ¡°How could the enemy soldiers also submit to you at the drop of a hat?¡±


    It had happened more than once, and Eisen could not help but ask why.


    Lei Yuan naturally would not reveal everything, especially to someone who once held a grudge against him.


    ¡°It¡¯s just my personal Charm. When your Charm is high enough, you¡¯ll be able to do it, too,¡± Lei Yuan said casually.


    Eisen listened with some degree of understanding. Charm was too subjective! He would rather believe that Lei Yuan made everyone submit to him through his strength.


    ¡°I understand.¡± The knight seemed a little embarrassed, but he still said, ¡°I was wrong in the past, but from today onwards, I won¡¯t pick on you anymore. After returning to the country, we will protect the country for Her Majesty¡¯s sake. ¡°It could be considered that he had made a one-sided reconciliation.


    However, Lei Yuan just chuckled. No one knew what he meant. ¡°Make sure you keep your word.¡±


    He really did not care if they worked together or not. After all, who knew how long he would stay in this country?


    On the way back to the Aifell Empire, all the enemy soldiers renewed their vows of loyalty to Lei Yuan. They seemed to be worried about what would happen to them after they entered the Aifell Empire with this group. They were especially attentive to Lei Yuan and served him very well.


    Lei Yuan was also happy to enjoy such care, and Lotti¡¯s thoughts gradually changed.


    Initially, she only had a strong desire to own Lei Yuan as though he was a pawn, but now¡­ She was having other thoughts.


    Lotti wanted to have this man and make his mind and body completely hers!


    Lotti asked awkwardly, ¡°I say, Lei Yuan, what are your plans after returning to the Aifell Empire? I don¡¯t think the country treats you well. Why don¡¯t you¡­¡±

 Chapter 22

    He might as well return to the country with her. Lotti would definitely help him fight for everything he deserved.


    However, before she could finish her words, Lei Yuan interrupted her, ¡°I¡¯m fine. You don¡¯t have to worry about me.¡±


    It was not as if Lei Yuan did not notice. Along the way, Lotti¡¯s attitude toward him had changed a lot. Although she was still as unreasonable as before, she had at least consciously restrained herself.


    What did this mean? It was hard to guess a woman¡¯s thoughts, but it was also easy sometimes.


    ¡®Isn¡¯t she just having the same thoughts as Ofia?¡¯


    ¡°You¡­!¡±The rejection in his voice was so thorough that Lotti¡¯s temper immediately flared, and she yelled at Lei Yuan, ¡°At least listen to what I have to say! Are you that unwilling to communicate with me?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing between us to talk about.¡±


    Lei Yuan said this to avoid any complications.


    As such, Lotti was at a loss for words. Her face became red from anger.


    Everyone was afraid of being caught up by the enemy, so they quickened their pace and hoped to return to the city by morning. After walking for a long time, everyone finally saw the city walls.


    They were already extremely tired, and when they saw the city gates, they heaved a sigh of relief.


    ¡°We¡¯re finally back. Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go! We¡¯ll be safe once we enter the city.¡±


    ¡°We still have to maintain order. If we seem chaotic, the Queen would probably not want to open the city gates for us.¡±


    ¡°Hey, is it my imagination, or do I suddenly feel like there are more guards posted on the city walls than before. There are also quite a few scouts on the walls. It wasn¡¯t like this before we left.¡±


    ¡°Because of the danger Ambassador Lotti was in, Her Majesty must have increased the number of guards. It¡¯s quite normal.¡±


    Originally, Lei Yuan did not think too much about this situation.He also felt that it was normal for the Queen to increase the security of the entire city. Otherwise, if the ambassador of another country was kidnapped again, it would cause trouble between the two countries.


    But it did almost cause a conflict that time¡­


    Lei Yuan led the soldiers and prepared to enter the city. When they got closer, he asked the soldiers on the walls to open the city gates.


    However, they did not react at all.


    Lei Yuan shouted again, ¡°Please open the gates! I am Lei Yuan. We¡¯ve brought Ambassador Lotti back!¡±


    When he spoke, he laced his voice with magic so that the people at the city gates would hear him for sure.


    However, they remained indifferent. They even wound the city gates tighter.


    Lei Yuan finally realized that something was wrong.


    If the situation in the city was normal, they would have opened the city gates for them.For this to be the case, it could only mean that something had happened inside.


    Otherwise, Ofia would never stand for this.So, with the current situation, it could only mean one thing: Ofia was in trouble.


    To verify his guess, Lei Yuan used a magic artifact to connect to Ofia¡¯s magic artifact.


    Before he left to save Lotti, Ofia gave him a magic artifactthat they then connected to each other so that they could communicate once they were within range.


    It was just that Lei Yuan had no use for it during the rescue mission. He never expected to use it at a time like this.


    Soon, the magic artifact was connected, but the voice from the other side was not Ofia¡¯s.


    ¡°It¡¯s Warrior Lei Yuan, right?¡±The other person¡¯s voice sounded respectful, but Lei Yuan could tell that it held a hint of danger.


    ¡°Her Majesty hasn¡¯t been feeling well lately. Because of her worry for Ambassador Lotti, Her Majesty fell ill. Before she passed out, she ordered us, the Yan family, to guard the city gates. No one is allowed to enter, including you.¡±


    ¡®I knew it!¡¯


    Based on Ofia¡¯s attitude toward him before he set off, Lei Yuan was certain that she would not lock him outside the city. It was obvious that the minister had interfered.


    Ofia¡¯s current state was probably very dangerous.


    Before he left, he had reminded her that there must be other spies in the country. He did not know if she took it seriously.


    ¡°Since it¡¯s Her Majesty¡¯s order, we won¡¯t force our way in.¡± Lei Yuan deliberately went along with what they said.


    ¡°But Eisen is a knight of the country, and so are these soldiers. They are innocent and loyal to the country, yet you treat them like this¡­¡±


    The meaning of his words was very clear. He wanted to accuse them of being ungrateful.


    It was truly heartbreaking to treat these soldiers, who had given so much to the country, in such a manner just for one¡¯s own interests.


    The minister on the other side of the magic call denied this,¡±Warrior Lei Yuan, please don¡¯t misunderstand. This is indeed an order from Her Majesty. We did ask about the return of the other soldiers, and she said that the soldiers can enter the city, but they need to be inspected.¡±


    Lei Yuan found the minister¡¯s explanation laughable.He knew very well what they were thinking.


    ¡®They just want to target me. There¡¯s really no need to find such despicable reasons.¡¯


    However, Lei Yuan did not directly argue with them in the end. Instead, he beat around the bush and said, ¡°Then¡­ Can Knight Eisen visit Her Majesty personally after he returns?¡±


    ¡°Of course!¡±


    Upon hearing Eisen¡¯s name, the other party agreed to let him in without hesitation.


    ¡°The soldiers and Ambassador Lotti may enter too, but they need to go through an inspection.¡±


    ¡®These people¡­¡¯ Lei Yuan grumbled in his heart. Did he have to be discriminated against like this?


    Anyone with half a brain cell could see this was not Her Majesty¡¯s order at all. It was purely aimed at Lei Yuan. But Lei Yuan himself had no intention of exposing this, and instead, agreed without hesitation.


    After the connection between the magic artifacts was cut off, Lei Yuan wanted to discuss the next plan of action with Eisen.


    ¡°I think I heard the voice of one of my ministers just now,¡± Lotti suddenly said.


    So, were people from Lotti¡¯s country involved?


    Lei Yuan¡¯s expression became even more serious.¡¯There¡¯s a spy in the country who is colluding with foreign officials. Wonderful¡­ They must have been planning this for a long time. Lotti is probably also part of their calculations.¡¯


    From the looks of it, his appearance was completely an accident and had disrupted their plans. No wonder these people were so angry.


    ¡°Lei Yuan, actually, the officials of our country,¡± Lotti said softly, ¡°They¡¯re all very ambitious, especially the batch that came with me. They were able to get to where they are today because of that trait. Perhaps they intend to take this opportunity to annex the Aifell Empire.


    ¡°Previously, before we arrived, they once envisioned taking advantage of your country¡¯s war to reap the benefits.¡±


    ¡®It¡¯s not a stretch to believe that they¡¯d actually do it.¡¯ Lei Yuan figured that he had to take action quickly, otherwise Ofia would really be in trouble, and the country would be doomed.


    At that time, he would not have such a luxurious place to stay.


    ¡°I understand. Thank you for telling me,¡± Lei Yuan said indifferently. Then, he turned to look at Eisen. ¡°Knight Eisen, I can¡¯t enter the city now, so I¡¯ll rely on you to handle things inside.¡±


    Eisen suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier.


    However¡­


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, you could, in fact, disguise yourself as a soldier and go in with us. Those people won¡¯t find out.¡±


    Lei Yuan shook his head.¡±That¡¯s not necessary.¡±


    They would carefully inspect everyone who entered the city. If they checked the soldiers one by one, he would easily be exposed.


    They could not afford any more accidents at this time.

    Lei Yuan also had an idea.


    Eisen would enter the city, while Lei Yuan would lay in wait outside. It was a pincer move. The soldiers of the Aifell Empire would naturally go with Eisen into the city, and the group of former enemy soldiers that he had won over would also have their role to play.


    After Eisen had made all the arrangements, he would lead the troops into the city and definitely capture the traitors! In comparison, it would be more convenient for Lei Yuan not to enter the city and make his move from the outside.


    After explaining his concerns, Eisen also thought deeply about it and ultimately accepted Lei Yuan¡¯s advice. He did not take Lei Yuan into the city with him and let him stay outside instead.


    Actually, he also felt that Lei Yuan should not have been dragged into this.After all, this was their country¡¯s matter, and Lei Yuan was not a citizen of this country. He should not be implicated in such a huge matter.


    Lotti¡¯s situation, however, was a little awkward. Logically speaking, she should have entered the city with them, but under the current circumstances, she would probably not have a good end even if she returned to the city.


    However, Lotti did not care about that.¡±I¡¯ll go back with you.¡±


    She simply concluded that this matter was related to her. As a visiting emissary, her own ministers were colluding with another country¡¯s ministers. Thus, she would deal with this matter properly.


    Eisen immediately refused. ¡°No. You can¡¯t go in. Those people are colluding with the traitors, and they definitely don¡¯t want you to know. If you go in there, it¡¯s equivalent to disrupting their plans, and your situation will become very dangerous.¡±


    Lei Yuan agreed with this.


    ¡°Before I came to save you, the people from your country didn¡¯t seem to be in a hurry at all. They didn¡¯t send anyone to join us on the mission, either. I¡¯m sorry to say this, but I believe they can¡¯t wait for you to die.¡±


    With Lotti dead, their operation would be smoother.


    ¡°In this case, I should take even more responsibility for this matter. I¡¯m the one who brought those treacherous people here,¡± Lotti said angrily, ¡°so I should be the one to deal with them!¡±


    ¡°Absolutely not!¡± Eisen objected firmly. ¡°The problem is with those emissaries, not you. Nothing must happen to you! Stay outside the city with Warrior Lei Yuan.¡±


    Eisen knew it too well himself. If something really happened to Lotti, those ministers could still shift the blame and say that their country failed to protect their most talented mage. This would lead to war between the two nations.No matter what, it would be detrimental to their country.


    At this moment, Lei Yuan had a different opinion of Eisen.


    This person had seemed so arrogant and narrow-minded before, but he was actually quite particular about what he did. At such a critical moment, his mind was surprisingly clear.


    ¡®Why was he so brainless when he was targeting me before? I guess jealousy really could turn a person into someone they¡¯re not.¡¯


    ¡°No! This matter is obviously related to me.¡± Lotti continued to argue, ¡°I shouldn¡¯t stay out of it! I can¡¯t let you walk into danger alone.¡±


    ¡°I have no problem with that, but you are a distinguished guest of our country, and we must protect you!¡±


    The two of them were pushing each other away, but they were thinking of each other¡¯s well-being.


    Lei Yuan weighed the pros and cons for a moment before he decisively agreed to Eisen¡¯s suggestion. ¡°Lotti, you stay outside the city. Leave the matters in the city to Eisen. He is from this country, so he will be fine.¡±


    ¡°But¡­¡± Lotti¡¯s eyes widened. She did not expect that even Lei Yuan would agree to it.¡±You just said that you want me to enter the city.¡±


    Lei Yuan explained, ¡°But for the sake of the overall plan, it¡¯s better for you to stay outside the city. Besides, Eisen is right, it¡¯s too dangerous for you to enter the city now. Their people are everywhere in the city, so you won¡¯t be able to defend yourself.¡±


    ¡°How could I not defend myself? Lei Yuan, don¡¯t look down on me! I¡¯m the most talented mage in the last hundred years!¡± Lotti said angrily. ¡°I¡¯m more than capable of dealing with them!¡±


    ¡°And yet, you still got captured, didn¡¯t you? And we had to come and save you.¡± Lei Yuan replied coolly, ¡°Since you know you¡¯re the most talented mage, you should be aware that when you¡¯re in opposition with them, your situation is very dangerous.¡±


    Lotti did not know how to retort.


    Eliminating dissent was the most normal thing to do, and for those people to choose not to send their own people to save her was the best proof of their guilt.


    Eisen had not expected Lei Yuan to agree with him. He was prepared to persuade him more, as he thought Lei Yuan would be on the same side as Lotti and let her follow Eisen into the city.


    ¡®So, what¡¯s his stance toward the situation?¡¯


    Lei Yuan himself had nothing to do with their countries¡¯ affairs, so what motivated him to dissuade Lotti from walking into danger? Could he be in love with Lotti?


    For a moment, Lei Yuan felt Eisen¡¯s gaze on him, which was filled with condemnation, as though he had done something wrong.


    Lotti¡¯s gaze was no better. She had thought that he would support her, but he was actually stopping her.¡±I didn¡¯t expect you to be this kind of person!¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless.


    What kind of person was he? Was it not normal to tell her not to risk her own life?


    ¡°Alright, let¡¯s hurry and execute the plan. Do what you think is necessary.¡±


    He did not want to get involved in this matter anymore.Lei Yuan waved his hand, but his gaze still fell on Lotti. His meaning was very clear: she must not enter the city.


    Eisen did not delay any longer.¡±Alright, I¡¯m bringing my troops into the city. You guys wait for my news.¡±


    With that, Eisen called the soldiers and walked toward the city gates.


    Lotti wanted to chase after him, but Lei Yuan immediately pulled her back.


    ¡°Let go of me!¡± Lotti kept struggling.


    This matter was clearly related to her. Why would he not let her go?


    ¡°You are to follow my lead, you don¡¯t have to worry about Eisen¡¯s affairs,¡± said Lei Yuan.


    He realized that this woman was quite strong, and he almost did not manage to catch her.


    It was only when Eisen and the others entered the city and the gates closed behind them did Lei Yuan let her go.


    ¡°Don¡¯t follow them, let¡¯s wait for news here first.¡±


    ¡®Wait for what news?¡¯ Lotti felt the anger in her chest rising.


    ¡°What right do you have to stop me? You¡¯re not from our country, nor are you from their country. To put it bluntly, you have no right to interfere with my decisions!¡±


    Lei Yuan did not stop her, but her words made him furious.


    ¡®So, I¡¯m just meddling in things I shouldn¡¯t have, huh?¡¯


    However, getting angry would not solve anything. Lei Yuan patiently explained, ¡°It¡¯s not a good time for you to enter the city now! We need to wait for an update from Eisen, and I really don¡¯t want to turn a blind eye to this situation. Can¡¯t you understand this?¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to understand! I want to enter the city now!¡±


    Lotti was not listening to him at all. She only wanted to go in and investigate the situation.


    ¡°Even if you want to just go in, now is not the time,¡± said Lei Yuan coldly. ¡°Eisen just entered the city, and the gates must be closed now. Besides¡­¡±


    Before he could finish his sentence, Lotti turned and ran. However, she did not run to the city gates, but instead went toward the perimeter of the city.


    Lei Yuan knew exactly what she was up to without having to think about it.


    ¡°Women are so troublesome!¡± He had no choice but to follow her.


    If possible, he really did not want to get involved in this matter.So why was he doing this thankless task?


    Lei Yuan followed Lotti on the city perimeter. He remained silent as she searched for a way to enter the city.


    After exploring the area, Lotti realized that it was not the right time to enter the city and gave up for the time being.

    Lei Yuan thought that she might back off.


    ¡°I already said that now is not the best time to enter the city. If you insist on doing this, then I can¡¯t stop you.¡±


    He said this on purpose. Lotti clenched her fists and snorted, then she sat down by a tree.


    Lei Yuan simply followed her and leaned against the tree.


    ¡°Some things can¡¯t be rushed. Don¡¯t you understand?¡± Lei Yuan tried to persuade her. ¡°I¡¯m really not heartless. Of course, if you think I¡¯m such a person, then I won¡¯t say anything.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk to you.¡± Lotti turned away. It seemed that she was really angry, but at the same time, she was a little conflicted.


    ¡®Does she realize how reckless she was¡­¡¯


    Lei Yuan was only looking out for her, after all.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t want to talk, then that¡¯s fine.¡± Lei Yuan shook his head helplessly. He already had a plan in mind.


    The enemy soldiers he had recruited were still following him. Morris, leading his army, came up to him and asked, ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, what should we do next?¡±


    ¡®We can¡¯t just sit around and do nothing, can we?¡¯


    Lei Yuan chuckled lightly and said with a meaningful look, ¡°Now, we wait.¡±


    After Eisen returned to the city, those treacherous officials would definitely make a move. Once this period of time had passed, Lei Yuan could take action.


    ¡­


    At this moment, inside the city. Eisen and the others passed through the gates without being searched.


    They also made it to the palace without any trouble. But everything changed when they got inside.


    The throne that belonged to the Queen was now empty, and the ministers were gathered in the hall, discussing something.


    However, when they saw Eisen, their expressions became varied.


    Eisen did not know what they were thinking, but he was sure that to them, his return was unwelcome news.


    It seemed that Lei Yuan¡¯s information was correct. The Queen¡¯s situation was not good, or else things would not have been in this state.


    And at this moment, the man who held the power in the palace¡­ Eisen looked at the head minister, seated in the front row.


    He remembered that the Queen had ordered for this man to be thrown in jail. So, it came as no surprise that he was out of his cell, considering the current situation.


    Eisen remembered that he did not like this head minister to begin with.


    Torill, who was highly valued by the Queen in his early years, was given many important tasks to carry out. However, in the last battle with the Aoli Empire, Torill began his plan of betrayal.


    As a result, the Queen had him imprisoned in the dungeons within the city walls.


    ¡°Knight Eisen, where is Ambassador Lotti? Didn¡¯t you bring her back?¡± Torill asked in a low voice. ¡°Didn¡¯t I hear that the mission has been completed? Or is it that you were lying, and the quest was actually a failure?¡±


    Eisen pursed his lips and did give away his true thoughts. He casually said, ¡°I rescued Ambassador Lotti, but she insisted on leaving with Lei Yuan. I couldn¡¯t bring her back into the city.¡±


    ¡°Nonsense!¡± Torill immediately refuted him. ¡°How could Ambassador Lotti leave with Lei Yuan, a person who came from nowhere? You must have failed to save her and are making excuses! Guards! Take Eisen away and keep him under strict watch!¡±


    ¡°What I said is true, you can¡¯t treat me like this!¡± Eisen gritted his teeth. ¡°And you have no right to do this to me! I am a knight personally appointed by Her Majesty the Queen. Only she can order me around!¡±


    ¡°Now that the Queen is seriously ill, I am in charge of the affairs of the country as her regent.¡± Torill snorted coldly. ¡°What evidence do you have to prove that you¡¯re telling the truth? All I see is that Ambassador Lotti is not here. This is conclusive enough for me.¡±


    Eisen held back and did not refute. He could not reveal Lotti¡¯s whereabouts yet, or else everything would be over. It seemed that this person was determined to make things difficult for him.


    ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth. It¡¯s really disheartening that you don¡¯t believe me!¡±


    Eisen did not explain further after saying this, because he knew that Torill¡¯s goal was to control him.


    ¡°I¡¯m just following the rules, is there a problem with that?¡± Torill clapped his hands, and someone immediately took Eisen away. Even the soldiers who followed him were not spared.


    After Eisen and his men were taken away, some of the other ministers felt uneasy and said, ¡°Um¡­ Isn¡¯t this a little bad? After all, Knight Eisen is a knight who is highly valued by Her Majesty. If we do this, I¡¯m afraid it will cause dissatisfaction.¡±


    ¡°It is precisely because he is someone the Queen values that we should do this.¡± A sinister smile appeared on Torill¡¯s face. ¡°It¡¯s even better that Lotti does not return. We can even accuse her of defecting with a man. As for Lei Yuan, he¡¯s not even a citizen of our country, so we don¡¯t have to worry about him.¡±


    If they did not let him through the city gates, Torill believed that Lei Yuan would not try to interfere.


    Although the other ministers were worried, they did not ask any further questions.


    In reality, Eisen was not really thrown into the dungeon. Considering his position, and the fact that the Queen was still alive, Torill would not dare treat him too badly.


    Eisen took this opportunity to plan how he could rescue the Queen. He did not believe that the entire palace was filled with treacherous officials. There must be someone who was still loyal to the Queen, and he would join forces with them.


    ¡°Knight Eisen, I warn you not to do anything you shouldn¡¯t do. Otherwise, don¡¯t blame Lord Torill for not showing any mercy.¡±


    The person who delivered his food had warned him, but Eisen did not take it seriously. He simply gave a light nod.


    His actions were going to be much more difficult than he had expected.


    ¡­


    Meanwhile, Lotti finally managed to sneak into the city when Lei Yuan¡¯s soldiers became lax.


    Lei Yuan had noticed this, but this time, he did not stop her.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you stop her?¡± The system did not quite understand. ¡°She¡¯ll easily ruin things like this.¡±


    Lei Yuan indifferently said, ¡°Can I really stop her? You¡¯ve seen that I¡¯ve tried to stop her many times, but she still doesn¡¯t want to listen to me.¡±


    ¡°Are you just going to give up?¡± The System snorted coldly, ¡°Anyway, it¡¯s up to you. Now that your Evolution Points are almost used up, don¡¯t blame me for not helping you.¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless.


    ¡®Isn¡¯t this my system? What does it have to do with Evolution Points?¡¯


    ¡°Are you really not going to help me?¡± Lei Yuan asked again, ¡°I¡¯m your host. If I die, won¡¯t you¡­¡±


    ¡°I can find another one.¡± The system spoke very ruthlessly. ¡°If you die, it means you¡¯re not worth my effort¡­¡±


    ¡°Shut up!¡± Lei Yuan really wanted to punch it. It was too heartless.


    ¡°Therefore, host, you had better take it easy and don¡¯t die so quickly.¡±


    ¡­


    After Lotti snuck into the city, she found that the situation was much more complicated than she had expected.


    After looking around, she arrived at the palace. The security here was very tight, but she managed to make her way to the quarters that were allocated for her and her ministers. There, she heard about their plans to rebel.


    ¡®Great¡­¡¯


    Lotti wanted to take swift action, but¡­ if she acted now, it would not do any good.


    She would be like a moth flying into the fire.


    She still had yet to find Eisen, so she needed to form another plan.


    So, the two of them¡ªEisen and Lotti¡ªspent an uneasy night in the city.


    ¡­


    However, the next day, Lei Yuan led his small army of charmed soldiers to attack the city.

 Chapter 25

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    It happened so suddenly that the city¡¯s ministers were not even prepared.


    Who would have thought that Lei Yuan would return? He was not even from their country, so why did he have to meddle in this affair?


    ¡°Damn it! If we had known that this would happen, we would have had him killed! Who knew he¡¯d be such a hindrance!¡±


    The ministers began to curse, and they even quarreled with the ministers from the neighboring countries.


    ¡°I told you from the beginning! We should have gotten rid of Lei Yuan when he appeared, but you didn¡¯t take him seriously. Now, he has brought an army to attack the city. We can¡¯t withstand him at all.¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t we all agree that we wouldn¡¯t kill him? What¡¯s the use of saying all this now? We might as well think about how to repel him.¡±


    ¡°None of us expected that he would return to attack us!¡±


    The palace court was in chaos. The news spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the palace and then to the people.


    When the commoners heard that there was going to be a war, they ran back to their houses to hide. Eisen and Lotti also heard this news.


    ¡°What is this kid doing?¡±


    Since this was the case, he had to throw away his original plan. But the new situation was not a bad thing.


    Eisen thought for a while and finally decided to pick up his weapon. He knocked out the soldiers that were guarding him and went to gather his men.


    Lei Yuan had already begun his siege, so what was Eisen still dawdling around for? Why not think of a way to cooperate from the inside?


    Meanwhile, Lotti suddenly did not know what to do. Lei Yuan¡¯s actions took her by surprise.


    Last night, she thought that he was a heartless man who did not care about the country when it was in trouble. She did not expect that he would plan such a big move.


    Now, her actions really did seem unnecessary.


    Lotti suddenly realized that she had only entered the city without a problem last night because Lei Yuan had no intention of stopping her.


    In hindsight, perhaps it was not that he did not want to stop her, but that there was no need to. He was going to besiege the city, and he was willing to take it down himself, so he no longer had to restrict her movements.


    Thinking of this, Lotti decided to rendezvous with Lei Yuan.


    At first, Lei Yuan was not familiar with the situation in the Aifell Empire, so he still encountered a few threats on his chosen route to enter the palace. But ultimately, it was not a big issue.


    ¡°Strategize properly! Although you have a lot of people, that group of traitors is not to be trifled with and will definitely set up an ambush for you. Don¡¯t fall into the ambush yourself, and don¡¯t lead everyone to their deaths!¡± The system nagged at Lei Yuan, but he was already aware of all this.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to remind me!¡±


    The number of soldiers that Lei Yuan brought with him today was actually much greater than yesterday.


    It was not as if Lei Yuan had simply stayed put the previous night. He had gone to an enemy camp overnight and used his Charm to attract another wave of soldiers.


    How else would he lay siege to the army with his initial ragtag group of soldiers?


    ¡°What do you plan to do next?¡± The system began to monitor the environment for him. ¡°From what I see, the east, south, and west gates are all under martial law. Only the north gate¡ª¡±


    ¡°Just attack it!¡± Lei Yuan ordered without hesitation. ¡°We don¡¯t need to worry about the other city gates. Focus on the north gate.¡±


    He did not have time to care about the other locations. Besides, Eisen was in the city. If any of the traitors tried to escape, he should be able to catch them in time.


    The soldiers on the city wall did not take Lei Yuan seriously at first, but when Lei Yuan also summoned his evil dragon and unleashed the Hydra, everyone was scared out of their wits.


    ¡°W-W-What¡¯s going on? Weren¡¯t those beasts known to be from the Aoli Empire? How can Lei Yuan control them? Has Lei Yuan already submitted to another country?!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m almost certain that¡¯s the case. Otherwise, how can Lei Yuan, a person without much ability, control such powerful beasts? Even beasts need to be controlled by magic, and Lei Yuan must have made friends with people from the other country and obtained the spell. We can¡¯t let him in!¡±


    ¡°But in this situation, we can¡¯t stop him, either. Lei Yuan¡¯s power is really too strong.¡±


    The soldiers discussed how to deal with Lei Yuan. At the same time, the ministers who had heard of the coming war rushed to the city walls. When they saw the grand scene, they were instantly shocked.


    Why were there so many soldiers? Where did Lei Yuan get such an army?


    Upon closer inspection, they noticed that the soldiers were still wearing the armor of the enemy country.


    The head minister sneered and immediately put the blame on Lei Yuan.


    ¡°Lei Yuan, you didn¡¯t complete your mission, yet you still have the nerve to come back! Tell me, where did you take Ambassador Lotti?¡±


    The ministers were planning to find an opportunity to put Lei Yuan in prison, but Lei Yuan did not take anything they said to heart. He waved his hand and the soldiers continued to attack the city. The soldiers on the city wall could not hold on any longer.


    The ministers could not do anything themselves and had to step in, but their strengths were too insignificant.


    ¡°You traitors, give up while you still can!¡± Lei Yuan suddenly said as he fought the head minister.


    ¡°Humph! Aren¡¯t you the one who¡¯s a traitor now? We are the ones protecting Her Majesty!¡±


    ¡®The situation has come to this point, and they¡¯re still being stubborn until the end!¡¯


    Lei Yuan sneered and continued, ¡°Hmph!¡± Don¡¯t think that I don¡¯t know what you¡¯re planning. I¡¯m going to win this battle.¡±


    After that, the ministers did not even know what had happened. They suddenly found themselves completely tied up.


    At this moment, a soldier ran over from the city and hurriedly said, ¡°Something¡¯s wrong! Knight Eisen has led his soldiers to launch a riot and has brought the Queen out!¡±


    ¡®What?¡¯


    The ministers did not expect things to happen so quickly. They had thought that Eisen would strike later. And since he had already made his move and rescued the Queen, there was no need for Lei Yuan to hold back anymore.


    Lei Yuan knocked the ministers out with one move and then ordered the crowd, ¡°Listen up, everyone! If we win today, you will become soldiers of our country and Her Majesty will give you everything you deserve!¡±


    After all, they were soldiers whom he had charmed to his side. If they did not do anything for this country, they would be thrown into the dungeons.


    Hearing that they could settle down in this country, the soldiers immediately became excited and attacked with vigor.


    There were many of them, and they quickly took down the soldiers and officials at the city gates.


    Among them were the ministers from the Aifell Empire, and a few of the foreign ministers who were part of Lotti¡¯s envoy.


    Meanwhile, Lotti and Eisen had just been through a fierce battle.


    ¡°That¡­ That was insane!¡±


    Lotti was panting from the beating, but fortunately, she was not injured. However, Eisen was in much worse shape. Beads of sweat were constantly forming on his forehead.


    After all, Eisen was the one leading most of the charge today from inside the city.


    The three of them soon regrouped.


    ¡°I¡¯ve already secured Her Majesty. You don¡¯t have to worry. Queen Ofia is in the palace now, and there are many people protecting her.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not worried about that. But we really have to go and see the Queen now. This country and these soldiers¡­¡± Lei Yuan looked calculative.


    ¡°Humph! Lei Yuan, you should have told me earlier if you were going to take action! Am I that untrustworthy?¡± Lotti questioned.

    Lotti could roughly guess what Lei Yuan was thinking.


    Choosing not to tell her was actually more beneficial for the thoroughness of the plan. Besides, what Lei Yuan did was his own prerogative, and he was under no obligation to tell her.


    However, Lotti just felt mad. ¡®Why? Am I not even qualified to fight by his side?¡¯


    Since they were both here to save Ofia, they could have discussed the plan together.


    ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you not to act on your own? You insisted on entering the city, and I couldn¡¯t stop you. Now you¡¯re blaming me.¡± Lei Yuan retorted coldly, ¡°I was right, wasn¡¯t I? Who was the one who tried to sneak into the city three times and got caught by me?¡±


    Lotti could not refute this at all.


    ¡°But¡­ If you had told me the plan, I wouldn¡¯t have done it. Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡±


    If he told her, she would have done anything rash.


    ¡°The fewer people who know about the plan, the better,¡± Lei Yuan said indifferently. ¡°I didn¡¯t want any of my plans to be leaked before the operation.¡±


    Regardless of who the other person was, if they were told of the plan, there would always be a possibility of them leaking it out. Even someone like Lotti, who was on Lei Yuan¡¯s side, would be treated with the same level of doubt.


    ¡°Alright, there¡¯s no point in arguing more. The rebels have been subdued, and the Queen has been rescued. Let¡¯s return to the palace first,¡± said Lei Yuan.


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan,¡± Knight Eisen said, ¡°Her Majesty knows that you are the one who led the army to attack the city, so she has specially prepared a reward for you.¡±


    Rewards were necessary, and Lei Yuan accepted them calmly.


    However, on the way back to the palace, the citizens went into hiding when they saw Lei Yuan. It could be said that no matter where Lei Yuan¡¯s group went, there was no one who would stay to greet him.


    Very soon, Lei Yuan noticed that there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, and he realized something was amiss. Especially when he overheard a group of teenagers discussing something.


    ¡°I heard that Lei Yuan led his troops to attack the city. It seems that this news is true.¡±


    ¡°But the ones attacking the city are all enemy soldiers. Does this mean that our country has already been conquered?¡±


    ¡°Um¡­ I don¡¯t think Lei Yuan would say such things about people, but now these results have forced me to believe that he must have betrayed us and joined the enemy.¡±


    Otherwise, what was the deal with the clothes of those enemy soldiers?


    As they discussed, their gazes toward Lei Yuan became more panicked.


    Lei Yuan initially did not care about the opinions of the people of this country. However, the system suddenly jumped out and reminded him, ¡°Host, you can¡¯t go on like this. Your Charm will be affected.¡±


    ¡®¡­How troublesome,¡¯ Lei Yuan muttered in his heart. He wondered to himself why his Charm Points had gone up, only to come back down?


    Therefore, he still had to explain to the people of the country about this matter, but with these enemy soldiers with him, it was unlikely that the citizens would believe him.


    Lei Yuan considered it and decided to give it a try. To him, this was a foreign country, and any additional support would be helpful.


    He turned to the people and gave a brief explanation. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, the soldiers who followed me into the city have already surrendered to our country. From now on, they will protect this country.¡±


    However, few people believed his words.


    The people of the Aifell Empire had suffered greatly from the war, and there had been many cases of enemy soldiers infiltrating their country.


    Moreover, with so many enemy soldiers standing before them, it was hard to believe.


    Seeing that the soldiers themselves did not have much of a reaction, Lei Yuan knew that the majority of people here did not believe him at all.


    His Charm was about to decrease.


    ¡°Warrior Lei Yuan, welcome back!¡±


    Suddenly, the Queen¡¯s loud voice came from up ahead.


    As if to welcome him back, the Queen had dressed up and even laid out a red carpet on the path for them. It was more like a wedding ceremony than a welcoming ceremony.


    Ofia walked up to him with dignified steps, took his hand, and kissed the back of his hand politely.


    This was the highest praise that the Queen could give.


    ¡°Today, I am able to stand here, all thanks to Warrior Lei Yuan. As the Queen, I grant you the title of Radiant Knight. From now on, you will lead the army and protect the country!¡±


    This time, he was a legitimate knight.


    Lei Yuan smiled, but kept his distance from her. He calmly accepted her accolades and said, ¡°Thank you, Your Majesty.¡±


    Then he would continue to stay here for the time being. He would cultivate first and decide where he wanted to go later.


    ¡°From now on, you shall also be in charge of this army you have subjugated.¡± The Queen helplessly said, ¡°It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve seen someone defect so many people from the enemy¡¯s side.¡±


    ¡®How did he do it?¡¯


    ¡°I second this!¡± Eisen clapped his hands and said respectfully to Lei Yuan, ¡°Congratulations, Radiant Knight! We¡¯ll protect the country together from now on!¡±


    ¡®Who wants to protect the country with you?!¡¯


    Lei Yuan was not from here, and he had many things he said in his heart, but he did not voice out a single one.


    He only replied in an official manner, ¡°I will not disappoint Your Majesty.¡±


    Seeing such a situation, the people finally understood that Lei Yuan had protected the country with enemy soldiers whom he had defected.


    ¡°Speaking of which, a few days ago, the country was still under the control of those treacherous officials. As soon as Lei Yuan returned, Her Majesty was saved.¡±


    ¡°We misunderstood him just now.¡±


    In just a short while, Lei Yuan¡¯s Charm rose rapidly, and he actually broke through two levels in one go, attracting even more people to worship him.


    Even Ofia thought that Lei Yuan had suddenly become much more pleasing to the eye.


    ¡®What kind of charm does he have?¡¯ Ofia thought deeply, believing that this man was becoming more interesting.


    Of course, she did not forget her original purpose.


    When they returned to the palace, it had been completely cleaned up, and the ministers who had colluded with other countries had already been arrested for questioning.


    ¡°I heard that you have a sealing artifact with a Hydra in it?¡± Ofia asked after some thought. This was what Eisen had told her.


    She said this not because she wanted to snatch it, but because the Hydra was extremely ferocious. She had to understand the situation.


    ¡°It¡¯s in my possession,¡± Lei Yuan answered truthfully. ¡°The Hydra is very powerful, and I can¡¯t control it for the time being.¡±


    ¡°Before you can control it, you must make sure not to release it!¡± Ofia warned sternly. ¡°Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.¡±


    Even if he had a sealing artifact, it would not be an easy task to seal it. Sealing it also required a lot of luck and opportunity.


    Lei Yuan did not reject this. He naturally would not play with the Hydra for no reason.


    The System suddenly said, ¡°Beast taming isn¡¯t difficult, host, you can practice it. I have a tutorial here. Of course, you need to use Evolution Points to buy it.¡±


    ¡®It¡¯s making a profit out of me¡­¡¯


    Lei Yuan ignored the system.


    At this moment, Lotti suddenly interrupted, ¡°Our country has ways to tame beasts. They¡¯re quite practical. I can teach you.¡±


    There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.


    Lei Yuan immediately said warily, ¡°What¡¯s the catch?¡±


    ¡°Simply marry me,¡± Lotti said matter-of-factly. ¡°Our country¡¯s beast taming techniques are not taught to outsiders, so if you want to learn them, you have to become a citizen of our country.¡±


    ¡®Forget it. It¡¯s out of the question.¡¯


    Lei Yuan was not about to sell himself just for a beast taming technique.


    ¡°I won¡¯t even consider it, and don¡¯t bring this up with me again.¡±

 Chapter 27

    ¡®Why doesn¡¯t she just give up?¡¯


    Lei Yuan thought that his performance should have been obvious enough. He did not like her, so there was no need for him to agree to marry her.


    ¡°But¡­¡± Lotti bit her lips. She looked like she wanted to argue more, but she was ultimately frightened away by Lei Yuan¡¯s gaze.


    She had an aggrieved look on her face when she said, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to get married, that¡¯s fine. I can¡¯t force you. Just accompany me for two days, and I¡¯ll teach you the beast taming technique anyway.¡±


    The sudden change in conditions made Lei Yuan raise his eyebrows. Clearly, he did not believe it.


    ¡°You just said that you would only teach it to me if I married you. You changed your mind so quickly. Can I really trust you? Or are you planning to do something while I¡¯m accompanying you?¡±


    Having spent some time with Lotti, Lei Yuan had a good grasp of her personality. ¡®Will she really let go of what she wants so easily?¡¯


    Lotti¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. ¡°You actually think of me this way?! Am I that kind of person in your eyes?¡± She suddenly shoved him back.


    ¡°Although I would like to marry you, if you¡¯re unwilling, I can¡¯t do anything about it. I¡¯m a mage of my country, and I keep my promises and won¡¯t go back on them. You can be assured of that.¡±


    Lei Yuan was far from reassured.


    At present, he knew that the Queen still had an interest in him. Lotti seemed to be more spoiled than Ofia. How could she really let him go? But what if what she said was true?


    Lei Yuan thought it over. Anyway, he would not lose out by spending these two days accompanying her. However, he definitely would not let her get to him.


    ¡°Ahem, host, you should be careful,¡± the system reminded him. ¡°If a woman really gets her hands on you, I won¡¯t be able to help you.¡±


    Knowing that he was tempted by the possibility of gaining a new technique, the system reminded him, ¡°Host, you look like someone who wants to do great things. You can¡¯t lose to a woman.¡±


    Did he look like one? Lei Yuan was a little speechless.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, haven¡¯t I already made it clear enough that I refuse?¡±


    Lei Yuan arrived here with his own task to do. He could not get too caught up with women.


    Moreover, Ofia and Lotti were not minor figures, and getting too close to them could cause trouble for himself.


    In the end, Lei Yuan agreed, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll accompany you for two days. In return, you can teach me the beast taming technique.¡±


    ¡°Deal!¡±


    Having achieved her goal, Lotti was very happy, but there was an inexplicable feeling of time weighing in her heart.


    She could spend two full days with him, but would they be the last two days they see each other? Would there be a chance in the future to meet again? With this thought, Lotti¡¯s suppressed emotions suddenly surged up again.


    Perhaps, she should take advantage of this opportunity¡­


    At the same time, Ofia¡¯s expression turned ugly. A woman¡¯s mind was naturally the clearest to another woman.


    She knew what Lotti wanted to do too well. Lotti wanted to buy herself two more days to spend together with Lei Yuan.


    ¡°I don¡¯t think this is appropriate!¡± Ofia suddenly said, ¡°Ambassador Lotti, since you¡¯re safe now and our peace talks have ended, you can return to your country. There is no need for you to stay here anymore.¡±


    ¡°Your Majesty, are you chasing me away? I¡¯m an honored guest of your country!¡± Lotti said without showing any weakness. ¡°Since we¡¯re on friendly terms, how can you force your guests to leave? I plan to stay here for a few more days, and you can¡¯t stop me.¡±


    ¡°Since you¡¯re in my country¡¯s territory, I, in fact, do have the right to control you.¡± Ofia sneered, ¡°Lei Yuan is now our country¡¯s Radiant Knight, and he has important matters to attend to. You can have someone from your own country or a maid accompany you. There¡¯s no need to trouble a knight.¡±


    ¡°But Lei Yuan has already promised to accompany me, and you have no right to demand anything from him. After all, he¡¯s not a citizen of your country,¡± Lotti replied fearlessly. She continued to speak frankly, ¡°Besides, if I want to go out and play, it¡¯s not too much to have a knight protect me, right?¡±


    Ofia almost lost her patience. ¡°You may call upon Knight Eisen for that. I have other arrangements for Lei Yuan.¡±


    This was clearly a blatant provocation. In all these years, Ofia had hardly ever been provoked like this. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation. In the past, even when someone was unhappy with her, they never spoke out so directly.


    ¡°I told you; he has already made a promise to me.¡± Lotti was adamant about this. ¡°I don¡¯t think the Radiant Knight wants to be a person who goes back on his word.¡±


    Her gaze turned to Lei Yuan.


    At this moment, Lei Yuan regretted agreeing so quickly. Maybe he could still negotiate his way out of it. Agreeing to accompany her for two days was a bit of a loss. However, at the moment, this thorn in his side had been thrown at him.


    Ofia also turned her gaze to him. ¡°Radiant Knight, I hope you can reject her.¡±


    ¡®Is she forcing me to make a decision between them?!¡¯


    However, Lei Yuan had his own plans. He really did not intend to reject Lotti now.


    ¡°Your Majesty, I hope you won¡¯t interfere in this matter.¡±


    Lei Yuan knew what Ofia was worried about. She was just worried that if he ran off with a foreigner, her curse would not be removed.


    ¡°I will definitely keep my promises, just like how I promised Ambassador Lotti today.¡± He used this matter as an example. ¡°If I break my promise with Ambassador Lotti today, wouldn¡¯t you worry that I may break my promise with you in the future?¡±


    Ofia was speechless. She did not know how to answer.


    In reality, she just did not want Lei Yuan and Lotti to be alone together. That woman¡¯s feelings for him were too obvious. It was hard to guarantee that she would not try to kidnap him.


    ¡°Can you really guarantee that you will help me?¡± Ofia asked again. ¡°¡±This matter is too important. Nothing can go wrong.¡±


    She was talking about the life and death of her country.


    Lei Yuan shook his head in exasperation. ¡°Your Majesty, if we don¡¯t even have this bit of trust between us, then I don¡¯t think we can continue our future cooperation.¡±


    Ofia was shocked and instinctively said, ¡°No, it¡¯s not that I don¡¯t believe you!¡±


    She was willing to trust Lei Yuan, but not Lotti.


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then please deal with the traitors properly, Your Majesty. I, naturally, have my own plans.¡±


    He had given her a reasonable explanation.


    While Lotti was happy, she was also a little sad. Even if Lei Yuan had agreed to accompany her, there was no possibility of any development between them.


    Ofia nodded, but her expression did not improve.


    At first, she was interested in Lei Yuan only because she wanted to use him to lift the curse.


    But today, he had become such a powerful person. It would be even better if Ofia could completely take him. If he was taken away by another country, she would be at a disadvantage.


    Ofia thought that whenever Lei Yuan and Lotti went out, she would have to follow them, or else she would not feel at ease. She left without saying a word.


    Lei Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. Although things were not that awkward, he still had to talk to Ofia later.


    Lotti was very happy, but Lei Yuan waved his hand and said, ¡°Go take care of your business first. Whatever you want to do, I¡¯ll accompany you.¡±


    Such words could easily come from a lover. Lotti was already starting to fantasize.

 Chapter 28

    Lotti imagined Lei Yuan talking to her in a gentle voice, saying touching words of love¡­ Especially the words ¡°accompany you¡± just now, it pierced her heart.


    Thus, Lotti was very obedient this time. She bade farewell to Lei Yuan and returned to her room.


    Lei Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. This was great! He could finally relax for a while.


    Lei Yuan also planned to return to his room to have a lie-down for a while. After all that had happened, he had not even touched a chair.


    However, before he could return to his room, he was stopped by a soldier.


    ¡°Radiant Knight, please follow me. Her Majesty the Queen has arranged a mission for you.¡±


    ¡®So fast? I was just given a position today, and I already have a mission?¡¯ Lei Yuan muttered in his heart. ¡®Ofia isn¡¯t even giving me a holiday?¡¯


    Seeing that he did not answer, the soldier seemed to understand what he was thinking and explained simply, ¡°It¡¯s really important. Her Majesty will only be at ease if you were entrusted with it. Please follow me.¡±


    Looking at the soldier¡¯s serious face, it seemed like it was indeed an important matter. Thus, Lei Yuan followed him to the military camp.


    ¡­


    However, what Lei Yuan did not expect was for Ofia would simply dump the task of interrogating the prisoners to him. He did not want to do such a thankless job!


    Lei Yuan wondered if he could hand this job over to someone else, but the soldier said, ¡°Her Majesty only trusts you in this matter, so please do not refuse.¡±


    She was simply forcing him to take over.


    At this moment, the system suddenly said, ¡°Host, just accept this job. It can increase your prestige and help your cultivation. It won¡¯t be a waste of time.¡±


    Hearing this, Lei Yuan became excited. Since it was helpful for his cultivation, it was not impossible to accept this mission.


    ¡°But I don¡¯t really know how to interrogate, and my temper isn¡¯t very good. What if I accidentally kill the person?¡± Lei Yuan seemed to be worried, but he was actually weighing his options.


    The soldier was ready with his response, ¡°Her Majesty said that the life and death of those people is up to the Radiant Knight to decide.¡±


    Ofia had given him such great power! With this power in his hands, Lei Yuan felt that it was a bit of a hot potato. After all, with great power came great responsibility.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright, host. Since she gave you this power, you should accept it,¡± the system said calmly. ¡°Don¡¯t reject power that¡¯s given to you for free. If the Queen gave you authority over human life, what¡¯s the harm in killing them? It¡¯s within your power.¡±


    ¡®Easier said than done.¡¯


    Lei Yuan clenched his fists tightly. After a series of internal struggles, he finally accepted it. ¡°Since Her Majesty has given me such an important task, I will complete it well.¡±


    After the soldier left, Lei Yuan came to stand before the traitors. These people had already been severely tortured and looked very weak. When the traitors saw that Lei Yuan was going to interrogate them, they immediately became alert and afraid.


    They were both afraid and hateful toward him.


    ¡°You¡­ It¡¯s all because of you¡­ We wouldn¡¯t have ended up like this if not for you!¡±


    ¡°You¡¯re not citizen of this country. Why did you have to meddle in our affairs?!¡± another said.


    They cursed and swore at him. Lei Yuan¡¯s expression was very calm, as if he was completely unaffected.


    After they were done speaking, the calm look never left Lei Yuan¡¯s face as he said, ¡°Now that you¡¯re done with your cursing, save some energy for your confessions.¡±


    ¡°What are you talking about? I don¡¯t know anything,¡± one of them sneered. ¡°We were just following orders; we don¡¯t know the specific plans.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t kid yourselves,¡± Lei Yuan ordered. ¡°Be careful when you interrogate them. We can¡¯t actually kill them, but we can certainly make them wish they were dead.¡±


    Only with this could these people be truly afraid of him.


    As they saw the jailer approaching, fear gradually appeared in the eyes of the treacherous officials. Lei Yuan did not realize that his Prestige was rising during this process.


    ¡­


    On the other side, Lotti did not rest for long before she returned to the hall to meet Ofia.


    This time, they did not discuss Lei Yuan, but it was more about friendly exchanges between the two countries.


    When she arrived, Ofia was dealing with the treacherous officials and foreign ministers.


    It was at this moment that Lotti learned that the traitors were already handed over to Lei Yuan for interrogation.


    As for her country¡¯s ministers¡­ Lotti¡¯s expression suddenly turned cold.


    ¡°You came at the right time. I still don¡¯t know how to deal with your countrymen.¡±


    Ofia, who was sitting in the palace, did not look anything like a little girl. She was efficient and decisive.


    ¡°In theory, they should be brought back to your country to be dealt with. However, since the problem arose in my country, I think we should discuss it here.¡±


    Lotti had no intention of speaking up for these traitorous snakes.


    ¡°Just deal with them according to your country¡¯s laws,¡± she said coolly. ¡°There¡¯s no need to ask me.¡±


    Lotti still had a lot of influence in their country. She had to power to decide how her accompanying ministers were dealt with, even outside of their country. When they heard her words, those ministers panicked, as they did not expect Lotti to not intercede on their behalf.


    ¡°Ambassador Lotti, please save us! We¡¯ll do our best to stay in our place and never be involved in anything like this again!¡± one minister begged.


    It was too late for them to beg for mercy. Lotti sneered and said as much, ¡°It¡¯s too late now. You should have thought about this day when you colluded with those people.¡±


    Lotti did not say more. Ofia understood what she meant and asked the guards to take the ministers away.


    When it came to Lei Yuan, Ofia and Lotti were clearly rivals. But in state affairs, they communicated well with each other.


    ¡°Now, I won¡¯t say anything about marriage. It¡¯s better not to involve love in the affairs of the country.¡± Lotti took the lead and said, ¡°So, I hope you don¡¯t withdraw your protection of my country because of the issue with Lei Yuan. Can you do that?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s exactly what I was thinking,¡± Ofia agreed. ¡°The cooperation between our two countries should not be hindered by our rivalry.¡±


    With that, they had made peace with each other in public, and the two countries had reached an agreement.


    ¡­


    That night, when the enemy general woke up in the barracks and saw that his surroundings were empty, he knew that Lei Yuan must have been here.


    What method did he use to take all his subordinates away?! Charm? Absurd!


    The general stood up and his body swayed a few times. He gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Lei Yuan, there is no reconciliation between you and me! I will definitely kill you!¡±


    Unfortunately, the current general did not have the ability to contend with Lei Yuan and the others. As a last resort, he thought of a solution: to ask the Demon King for support.


    The other party was the Demon King. Unless there was no other way, the general really did not want to do it. But was there any other option?


    The general clenched his fists. As long as he could make Lei Yuan pay the price, he was willing to do anything.


    ¡­


    The next day, according to the agreement, Lei Yuan was to accompany Lotti.


    Lotti had already planned it out. Today, they would go shopping. She had been in this country for quite a while, but had yet to have a good look at the local sights.


    The two of them walked side by side on the street, and they compatible.


    ¡°Lei Yuan, come over and take a look.¡± Lotti pulled him to a stall and picked up a small trinket that looked quite exquisite.

 Chapter 29

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Lei Yuan was not interested in girly things. However, as her companion, he still had to pretend.


    ¡°If you like it, buy it.¡± Lei Yuan waved the item in his hand and said helplessly, ¡°By the end of the day, you would have bought a lot of things anyway.¡±


    He really did not expect that the first time he accompanied a girl, it would be to walk down a street.


    After buying the trinket, Lotti still had a smile on her face. Actually, throughout the whole day, her smile never disappeared from her face. Who knows if it was because of Lei Yuan¡¯s company.


    Meanwhile, Lei Yuan was exhausted while Lotti was very happy. Occasionally, she would shyly lead him around the stalls.


    In the evening, the two of them returned to the palace.


    Just as they were about to part ways, Lotti suddenly reminded him, ¡°Lei Yuan, don¡¯t forget that only a day has passed. You promised to accompany me for two days.¡±


    ¡°I won¡¯t go back on my word.¡±Even if she did not remind him, he would still remember.


    However, the two of them did not notice Ofia, who was rushing over.In fact, the Queen had been keeping track of their whereabouts for the entire day.


    She had sent someone to follow the two of them, and her subordinates reported every detail to her.Therefore, the Queen knew that the two of them had done a lot of ¡°intimate things.¡±


    However, she could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.


    When their ¡°date¡± finally ended, Ofia hurried over and saw Lotti shyly reminding Lei Yuan of his promise.


    Ofia was speechless.She did not feel good. Although she wanted to marry Lei Yuan, it was not because she loved him.However, it was hard for her to accept that her fianc¨¦ was coveted by another woman.


    ¡°I see that you have returned. Since you¡¯re back now, go back to your own rooms and attend to your own business.¡±


    Ofia¡¯s appearance made Lotti¡¯s expression turn unpleasant. She certainly did not want to see herself being taken lightly.


    As for Lei Yuan, he was just about to send away one major figure, why did another suddenly appear? And it was the more difficult one to deal with.


    ¡°I don¡¯t need you to tell me when to go back,¡± Lotti challenged. ¡°Since I am exchanging two days of my time with Lei Yuan, then strictly speaking, the current time is also mine. How come, Your Majesty, you¡¯re trying to steal even someone else¡¯s time?¡±


    ¡°But the Radiant Knight still has his own work to deal with. Aren¡¯t you too selfish to have someone, who should be working, accompany you?¡±


    ¡°Tsk, he promised me that himself. What does it have to do with you? I believe that the moment Lei Yuan agreed to my request, he had already made his own work arrangements.¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless. ¡®Why was she so sure of herself?


    In fact, Lei Yuan¡¯s work arrangements could be said to be a mess. He had just taken up this position, so he had no idea what he needed to do or what he should do.


    ¡°Is that so? It doesn¡¯t look like you really care about his situation. His public affairs are in chaos right now,¡± Ofia said mockingly. ¡°You should hurry back and not hold him up. Isn¡¯t that right, my Radiant Knight?¡± In the end, she still saw him as her fianc¨¦.


    Lei Yuan found it hard to get used to this form of address. She even added ¡°my¡± in front of his title, which made his hackles rise.


    He did not want to stay in Ofia¡¯s presence, nor did he wish to stay with Lotti any longer.


    ¡°Go back first,¡± Lei Yuan said to Lotti. ¡°I¡¯ll keep my promise. See you tomorrow.¡±


    His tone was not gentle, and much better than his usual toughness.


    ¡°See you tomorrow.¡±Before she left, Lotti gave Ofia a provocative look, as if she had won.


    Lei Yuan was not blind to the power play between the two women. In fact, he was the one who was caught in the middle and had the hardest time.


    ¡°You seemed to have had a lot of fun,¡± Ofia¡¯s tone was not good, and there was even a hint of anger in it. ¡°Or is it that you are ready to go to her country?¡±


    ¡®What is she talking about?¡¯


    ¡°When have I ever said something like that?¡± Lei Yuan said in annoyance. ¡°I made a promise to her, so I have to keep it. It¡¯s certainly not what you think.¡±


    He was like a boyfriend defending himself from accusations of spending too much time with another girl¡­ Ofia¡¯s face gradually turned red.


    Her words just now sounded too unreasonable.After all, she did not have the status to care about his private life now.


    Even though she understood it clearly, Ofia still insisted, ¡°Then go to work now. How¡¯s the matter I asked you to complete?¡±


    She was referring to the interrogations.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t get much information. I think they really didn¡¯t know,¡± Lei Yuan said seriously. ¡°In any case, their lives are spared. Unless there¡¯s no other way, I won¡¯t take their lives lightly.¡±


    ¡°People like them are already traitors, so they should die.¡±Ofia¡¯s eyes were filled with malice.


    She had put so much effort into protecting this country, yet others were still plotting against her.


    As the conversation started to go awry, Lei Yuan quickly escorted her back to her chambers and left.Even if he continued the conversation with her, he didn¡¯t know how long it would go on for.


    ¡­


    The next day, Lei Yuan completed his deal with Lotti as promised.


    That night, Lotti began to teach him the art of beast taming.


    ¡°My country is called the Hundred Beasts Kingdom. We have many divine beasts. In order to establish a country and control the ferocious beasts, our ancestors developed the art of beast taming. Therefore, our country can also be said to be the birthplace of beast taming,¡± Lotti explained.


    Lei Yuan pondered. ¡°We¡¯ve known each other for a while now, but this is the first time I¡¯ve heard you mention your country.¡±


    No, he should have found out during his time in the palace. He realized that he did not pay enough attention to these things. He just was not that interested.


    ¡°You didn¡¯t even know about my country,¡± Lotti looked surprised. ¡°In that case, let me explain it to you. The beast taming art in my country¡­¡±


    Lei Yuan was listening carefully at first, but he soon realized that much of the content was merely empty talk.Suddenly, he felt as though Lotti was trying to fool him.


    ¡°You¡¯ve been talking for so long without actually teaching me anything. What kind of teaching is this?¡± Lei Yuan said coldly. ¡°If you don¡¯t know how to teach, you don¡¯t have to.¡±


    Why did he bother wasting two days of his time?


    Realizing that she was being looked down upon, Lotti retorted, ¡°How can you say that I don¡¯t know? Do you know how long it takes for a mage to practice? Do you really think it¡¯s that simple?¡±


    ¡°Now, try it yourself. You should know that becoming a beast tamer is not easy. There have been very few top beast tamers over the past century, yet you dare to say such big words?¡±


    But she did not teach him anything specific, how was he supposed to practice?


    Lei Yuan was speechless. ¡°Why don¡¯t you at least tell me the details? You just want me to sit down and cultivate? What nonsense is this?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s how I practiced,¡± Lotti gave him a spell, ¡°Feel the nature and eliminate distractions. Let¡¯s see how long it takes for you to succeed!¡±


    For someone as powerful as Lei Yuan, it should not be difficult to break through.


    But Lei Yuan knew himself well, and the so-called spells might not work for him.

 Chapter 30

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    At this moment, Lei Yuan¡¯s cultivation was still not adequate enough, and he relied on the system¡¯s help to increase his strength.


    However, he still needed to try.


    Lei Yuan found a relatively quiet spot and sat down to meditate. He did as Lotti said; he cast aside all distracting thoughts, and tried to be one with nature.


    This sounded easy on paper, but how could one actually achieve it? What should one do?


    It would be great if Lei Yuan could get the feeling of being one with nature by just chanting the word ¡°nature¡± in his heart.


    But in reality¡­ The more he tried to calm himself down, the more restless he felt in his heart.


    Because of how quiet his surroundings were, Lei Yuan¡¯s thoughts were running wild. He started thinking about all kinds of things, such as what happened before he came here, his involvement with Lotti and Ofia, and his future plans. His brain was a mess. He could not even calm down, let alone be one with nature.


    Meditation was a test of patience, but he tried to persevere.


    Lei Yuan just sat there and did nothing, and before long, he could no longer sit still. However, in order to learn the beast taming art, he suppressed the impatience in his heart and continued to sit in place without moving.


    Lotti looked at his solemn face as he meditated and thought that he might be able to reach enlightenment.However, after a few hours, Lei Yuan did not feel that anything had changed at all.


    He finally could not hold it in any longer. He opened his eyes and saw Lotti sitting across from him. She was meditating as well. ¡°What happened? Why don¡¯t I feel anything?¡±


    Lotti seemed to have entered a state of cultivation and only opened her eyes after a long time. Lotti also found Lei Yuan¡¯s question strange.


    ¡°You¡¯re so gifted. Logically speaking, you shouldn¡¯t be able to fail.¡± She thought that he would be able to pick it up quickly. However, things like cultivation could never be forced. Thinking of this, Lotti felt that Lei Yuan¡¯s current situation was very natural.


    ¡°It¡¯s alright,¡± she consoled. ¡°Since you can¡¯t perceive it, you shouldn¡¯t force it.¡±


    ¡®What do you mean by that? Are you giving up on me?¡¯ Lei Yuan hesitated.


    Since he could not feel anything, it meant that he could not cultivate. There would be no results even if he kept on trying.


    Should he just give up? He would not consider this a loss. All he had done was just waste two days of his time accompanying Lotti¡­


    However, he could be considered to have completed his end of the bargain. It was just that he did not have the talent to cultivate beast taming arts.


    ¡°What are you thinking about? You are the most talented person in the world! If you can¡¯t cultivate, that just means that you haven¡¯t found the right way yet!¡± The system hurriedly reminded him. Without mentioning this, Lei Yuan would probably have given up on cultivating the beast taming art.


    ¡°Then can you teach me how to do this? You saw what happened just now. I really couldn¡¯t sense anything.¡±


    ¡°You haven¡¯t even cultivated that much, and your foundation is lacking. How would you be able to sense anything?¡± The system said helplessly, ¡°You can¡¯t rush things like cultivation. However, as long as you persevere, the results will come. You¡¯ve only practiced this spell for less than a day. It¡¯s normal that you haven¡¯t made any progress.¡±


    ¡®That¡¯s true.¡¯ Lei Yuan thought about it. He would try something else later. ¡®If it really doesn¡¯t work¡­¡¯


    ¡°This beast taming art is very powerful.¡± The system seemed to know what Lei Yuan was thinking and wanted to persuade him to continue practicing. ¡°Not only can the beast taming technique control fierce beasts, it can also strengthen all its attributes such as attack and defense. If you don¡¯t learn it, then just relying on Charm won¡¯t do.¡±


    ¡®It¡¯s that powerful?!¡¯


    Lei Yuan did some calculations in his head. If he relied solely on Charm, he might not be able to control ferocious beasts if their level was higher than his. It would be easier to do so with the beast taming technique.


    As for raising the level of the beasts, it would be of great help to increase their attacks during battle. There was nothing to lose from learning this spell.


    Very soon, Lei Yuan made his decision and replied to Lotti, ¡°I¡¯ll continue cultivating. I must learn this spell!¡±


    To Lotti, his reaction was a little strange. Why did he suddenly become so resolute? However, since he wanted to continue practicing, she would teach him.


    ¡°From now on, I¡¯ll train you every day.¡±


    Lotti thought that the training would give her more time to spend with Lei Yuan in the future.


    Anyway, she was not going to return to her country any time soon. Moreover, getting to spend more time with Lei Yuan made her very happy.


    At this moment, Ofia suddenly appeared. ¡°The Radiant Knight still has official duties he needs to attend to daily. It would be very inappropriate for you to spend all your time with him.¡±


    Ofia had thought that Lotti would return to her country after two days.Who would have thought that she would continue to stay here?


    If she stayed here, there would always be a third wheel between Ofia and Lei Yuan, making it difficult for Ofia to do what she wanted.


    Lei Yuan waved his hand. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯ll quickly finish my work and use the remaining time to cultivate.¡±


    ¡°But¡­¡± Ofia narrowed her eyes. ¡°Ambassador Lotti cannot visit your office. It¡¯s a sensitive military location in our country!¡±


    ¡°Tsk, I won¡¯t go. Who cares about your country¡¯s secrets?¡±


    Lotti pursed her lips. She knew what Ofia was thinking. She was just looking for an excuse to separate the two of them. However, she did not care about what she was doing. As long as she could see Lei Yuan every day, she was satisfied.


    With that, Ofia could not say anything more. She could only remind Lei Yuan not to delay his official duties, which Lei Yuan agreed to.


    After Ofia left, he said, ¡°Then let¡¯s meet here every night from now on.¡±


    He had to learn this spell. It was not his style to give up at the first obstacle he encountered, especially soon after starting.


    ¡°Alright.¡±


    After that, the two of them cultivated together every night. In the first few days, Lei Yuan still did not make any progress. But slowly, he finally found a way to grasp the initial stage of the beast taming art.


    ¡°That¡¯s amazing!¡± Lotti was a little surprised. ¡°When I was cultivating, my rate of improvement wasn¡¯t as fast as yours.¡±


    Indeed, the person she fancied was amazing!


    Now that he had found a way, Lei Yuan planned to continue cultivating.


    Lotti suddenly suggested, ¡°Why don¡¯t we go celebrate tomorrow? You¡¯ve been working or cultivating these past few days. Your lifestyle has been too tiring. Let¡¯s take a break this time.¡±


    Lei Yuan thought that it would be good to take this opportunity to rest. He nodded at first¡­ but then he shook his head. ¡°I can rest, but I want to go out alone, not with you.¡±


    Lotti was speechless.


    Lei Yuan thought, ¡® It¡¯s better to avoid her. But if she doesn¡¯t want to, I can¡¯t force her.¡¯


    ¡°Alright, then go relax by yourself. I won¡¯t bother you.¡± Although she said that, Lotti had other plans in mind.


    If she could not go with him, could she not still ¡°bump¡± into him by chance?


    So the next day, Lei Yuan met Lotti face to face on the street by chance.


    ¡°What a coincidence. I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here.¡± Lotti said as she started following him.


    ¡°It is indeed a coincidence.¡± Lei Yuan pulled away from her.


    Although he did not know if she followed him on purpose, but since they ¡°bumped¡± into each other, he couldn¡¯t simply ask her to leave. It wasn¡¯t a big deal to walk around together, and it was not a good enough reason to chase her away.


    The two of them walked toward the crowded marketplace together.

 Chapter 31

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Since they were out to relax, they naturally had to go to a livelier place.


    Lei Yuan had wanted to take a stroll on the streets and perhaps buy some potions. However, after walking around for a while, he saw that there was nothing else of note other than eating, drinking, and having fun.


    Especially when there was a woman beside him.


    Compared to Lei Yuan, who was strolling around listlessly, Lotti was much more excited. She was a woman, after all. She could not help but sample all sorts of delicacies and try on different types of jewelry.


    However, she only spent money to buy food and did not buy any of the jewelry she tried out. She even gave Lei Yuan his own share of the food.


    ¡°Just consider it a gift in celebration of your cultivation progress. Continue to work hard from now on.¡±


    It was an acceptable reason for Lei Yuan.


    He finished the food and looked for an excuse to go back.


    However, there was suddenly an influx of people coming out onto the street, and their surroundings became very chaotic. Many people started pushing and shoving around them, and as a result, the two of them were separated by the swarm of people.


    ¡°Lei Yuan!¡±


    Seeing that she was getting further and further away from the man, Lotti began to panic. She wanted to go against the flow of people, but she was dragged away by the crowd.


    Lei Yuan was being pushed away as well. However, he was not in a hurry to regroup with Lotti. It was a good opportunity to get rid of her.


    When the crowd dispersed, Lei Yuan could no longer see Lotti.He thought that he had finally gotten rid of the woman and decided that it was time to leave.


    However, Lei Yuan stopped suddenly as he considered the possibility that Lotti might still be looking for him.


    ¡®What if she can¡¯t find me and keeps looking for me? What should I do?¡¯


    ¡°Host, you should go home. She¡¯s a mage, so she¡¯ll be fine. Don¡¯t waste time over one woman.¡±


    Beautiful women were often a source of trouble, and this woman might be one of them.


    ¡®Who knows, she might hinder my path of advancement in the future.¡¯


    Lei Yuan had initially considered the possibility, but he began to feel that it would be unkind to just leave Lotti behind, especially since she had been so kind to him and had even taught him some spells.


    The system was shocked when Lei Yuan remained still. It quickly said, ¡°Host, why aren¡¯t you leaving?¡±


    ¡°¡­I¡¯ll go look for her.¡±


    There were not as many people around now, but Lotti was still nowhere in sight. This area was not large, and he should be able to find her quickly.


    ¡®Where could Lotti have run off to? What if something happened to her?¡¯


    Lei Yuan thought of how unusual it was that the place suddenly became so crowded, as if the people were deliberately trying to separate them.


    With that in mind, Lei Yuan made his decision. It was better to go look for her. Things would be fine as long as she was safe.


    After all, she was an ambassador from an allied country. If something happened to her in their country, they would be in big trouble.


    Hearing Lei Yuan, the system became annoyed for a while, but it ultimately did not say anything.All it could do was obey its host¡¯s requests.


    ¡°I¡¯ll track her location. Don¡¯t waste your time looking for her aimlessly.¡±


    The sooner he found her, the sooner he would send her home. That way, the host could have a good rest and shop in peace.


    However, Lei Yuan did not have to search for long before a light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. It was so bright that he could not even keep his eyes open.


    By the time he reacted, his surroundings had changed drastically. He was no longer on the street, but in a small forest instead.


    What brought him here?


    ¡°Host, you have to be cautious. This forest isn¡¯t normal,¡± the system suddenly reminded him. ¡°There are powerful people nearby.¡±


    He could tell that the situation was very abnormal; it was obvious that he had been teleported.


    But who did it?


    Lei Yuan was vigilant as he looked left and right. He planned to escape as soon as possible.


    Although he was teleported, he saw that he was not too far from the palace. He still knew the way and was perfectly capable of going back.


    However, he had only taken a few steps forward when a woman suddenly appeared in front of him. Lei Yuan had never seen this woman before.


    She was very good-looking. Her red hair gave her a flirtatious air, and dragon horns grew from the sides of her forehead, which gave her a unique charm.


    ¡°You¡¯re really good-looking.¡± The woman immediately walked forward and raised her hand to touch his forehead. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that you¡¯re not as beautiful as I am, but you¡¯re still not bad. Now, return with me.¡±


    ¡®What? Why does this lady from the Dragon Tribe want to bring me back?¡¯


    ¡°I¡¯m not going back with you.¡± Lei Yuan was baffled. ¡°I have something else I need to do, so I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡±


    He did not know how this woman had appeared in front of him. Did she teleport? He had to dig up some information on her after he returned to the palace.


    However, the woman had no intention of letting him go.


    She blocked his way and threw a sword at his feet. ¡°You¡¯ll need to duel me if you want to leave.¡±


    Lei Yuan looked at her questioningly.


    ¡°If you win, I¡¯ll let you go, but if you lose, you¡¯ll have to come back with me.¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless. She declared this so confidently that it was as if she believed that her actions were perfectly reasonable.


    Lei Yuan did not answer, nor did he take the sword. He did not want to fight with her at all.


    ¡®Fighting is so tiring. Can¡¯t we have a meaningful conversation instead?¡¯


    ¡°Come and fight!¡±Seeing that he was not responding, the woman raised her sword and was about to rush forward.


    ¡°Wait!¡±


    ¡®Does she really want to fight?¡¯


    Lei Yuan picked up the sword, but he had no intention of fighting back. He only wanted to defend himself. At the same time, he said, ¡°Wait, don¡¯t you think you¡¯re being ridiculous? You suddenly appeared out of nowhere and demanded that I follow you. I don¡¯t even know who you are.¡±


    It was unreasonable to expect someone to leave with a stranger. Lei Yuan thought that if he explained it this way, she would at least reveal some information about herself.


    However, the woman still had no intention of introducing herself.


    What she wanted to do was obvious. She snorted coldly, ¡°There¡¯s nothing much to it. I just like you, so I want you to come with me. Of course, I don¡¯t expect you to come with me willingly, so let¡¯s have a competition to see who gets their way.¡±


    ¡°But even if it¡¯s a competition, it has to be on the condition that both parties are willing! You¡¯re forcing me to fight!¡±


    Lei Yuan desperately wanted to refuse. He was not a fool. If this woman could teleport him here without anyone noticing, it was proof enough that her strength was far above his.


    He would only accept a fight like this if he was out of his mind!


    ¡°If I want a match, then you have no right to refuse.¡±Her attitude was stubborn and she attacked right after saying this.


    ¡°Hey! At least tell me what your motive is! I¡¯m just an ordinary man. There¡¯s nothing attractive about me, right? Why would you want me to go with you?!¡±


    But the woman ignored him and continued to attack. Helpless, Lei Yuan could only accept the challenge.


    He could tell just how powerful she was from her first move.If the fight continued, he would definitely lose.


    ¡°Come on, don¡¯t show me mercy just because I¡¯m a woman. Fight me with all your strength. I don¡¯t need a man to take it easy on me.¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless. He was not taking it easy. What made her think that he was strong?

 Chapter 32

    What kind of misunderstanding did this woman have about him?


    If he showed even a small hint that he was the weaker opponent, the woman would definitely drag him back with her.


    Lei Yuan took a few steps back, thinking about what kind of trick he could use to win. Thus, Lei Yuan did not strike back in their duel. Instead, he kept dodging desperately while trying to find a flaw in his opponent. However, after a few exchanges, he still could not find any weaknesses.


    ¡®Just how strong is this woman?¡¯


    Lei Yuan tried to go on the offensive this time, but as expected, his attack failed. Before he could even get close, he was pushed back a few meters by the woman¡¯s scimitar.


    The woman unleashed a burst of energy that spread out in all directions.


    Lei Yuan could feel the force behind this move. It was far stronger than his own, and it was not at a level that he could ever hope to match up to with his short period of cultivation.


    ¡°When will you show me your true power? Don¡¯t hold anything back and fight me. Taking it so easy should be boring for you! Or are you actually looking forward to going back with me after you lose?¡± The woman sneered. ¡°If you want to go back with me that badly, then that¡¯s fine. That¡¯s what I wanted in the first place.¡±


    Unlike what the woman was thinking, Lei Yuan did not actually want to lose. The fact was that he did not stand a chance against her, and he was already giving everything he had.


    If things continued this way, the match would really conclude with his defeat. Lei Yuan thought about it and decided to stall for time.


    ¡°Fine, I will use my full strength against you, but first, tell me your name.¡±


    They had been fighting for a while now, and he did not even know the woman¡¯s identity. Lei Yuan did not think that he was asking for too much.


    ¡°You¡¯re only qualified to know if you win.¡± The woman snorted coldly and charged at him again with her scimitar.


    Lei Yuan had no choice but to continue dodging. He hurriedly asked the system, ¡°Hello?! Hurry up and help me! I¡¯m going to lose at this rate!¡±


    It was his system, right? It would not be too much to ask for its help, would it?


    But for some reason, the system took a long time to reply, ¡°I can help you, but you have to pay me 100,000 Evolution Points.¡±


    ¡®100,000 Evolution Points?!¡¯ Lei Yuan suspected that he had heard wrongly.


    In the past, the cultivation manuals he acquired had only cost him a few hundred Evolution Points. And yet suddenly, he had to pay 100,000 Evolution Points?!


    ¡®H-How strong is this woman?¡¯


    Forget 100,000, he currently could not even afford to spend 10,000 Evolution Points!


    Lei Yuan asked helplessly, ¡°Can I sign an I.O.U. instead? Help me beat her first, or else I¡¯ll have to go back with her.¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t offer loans,¡± the system answered very straightforwardly. ¡°I haven¡¯t opened the credit system yet. If you don¡¯t pay in full, I can¡¯t fulfill your request.¡±


    ¡®What a scam!¡¯


    ¡°Do you have any ideas, then?¡± Lei Yuan gave up trying to haggle with the system. He may not be able to come up with a plan, but he was sure that the system had a way.


    However, the system¡¯s answer made his mind go blank. ¡°No, none of my items can help you now. Your current level is too low, and you can¡¯t beat her.¡±


    Lei Yuan silently swore in his heart that he would definitely work hard to cultivate after this!


    After a few rounds, Lei Yuan found it increasingly difficult to withstand her hits, and in the end, he lost. After that, the dragon lady seemed reluctant to bring him back like she had said she would at the beginning.


    Her face was filled with disappointment as she shook her head. ¡°Looks like I was wrong about you. You¡¯re nothing special.¡±


    ¡®What?¡¯ The change in the woman¡¯s attitude gave Lei Yuan mixed feelings.


    Why did she approach him then? Could it be that she just wanted to fight him to determine whether he was special or not? Or was she planning on using other methods to deal with him?


    ¡°Since there¡¯s nothing special about me, can I leave now?¡± Lei Yuan probed, while thinking of a way to counterattack. What if she still planned to take him away?


    This time, the woman remained silent, but she continued to stare at him. Lei Yuan could not tell what she was thinking.


    Lei Yuan pondered, ¡®Why don¡¯t I take this opportunity to escape?¡¯ He then quietly backed away, and he planned to turn around and run at a moment¡¯s notice.


    However, the woman quickly approached him again. Her eyes were sharp as she ordered, ¡°You! Use your strongest spell on me! Make sure it¡¯s interesting!¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless.


    This woman¡¯s actions always exceeded common sense.


    ¡®What misunderstanding does she have this time?!¡¯


    Spells¡­ He did not know any spells! He had only recently started learning the art of beast taming, so it would definitely not be effective on her. She was too strong!


    ¡®What would happen if I tell her the truth?¡¯ Lei Yuan thought about it briefly and immediately discarded the thought.


    It seemed that this woman was interested in him, which was why she asked so many inquisitive questions. If she found out that he was weak, she might kill him!


    He could expose this about himself!


    After thinking for a while, Lei Yuan smiled and said meaningfully, ¡°Spells? I¡¯ve already used them on you.¡±


    Just because he did not know any spells did not mean that he could not fool her by sounding mysterious. In any case, it was better to stall for a while.


    Hearing this, the woman frowned as she wondered when he had used a spell on her.


    However, the woman did not feel any desire to fight him. ¡°But I didn¡¯t feel anything at all. Are you really stronger than me? I only react when someone stronger than I am attacks me.¡±


    Lei Yuan smiled meaningfully. He did not even need to say anything. This woman would fill in the gaps with her own imagination. What he needed to do was plan on how to escape and meet up with Lotti.


    ¡°Maybe the spell I used on you had no effect at all. So, can I leave now? There¡¯s really nothing special about me.¡± Lei Yuan slowly retreated, and the woman did not immediately follow.


    However, she still caught up to him, and she even looked as if she had suddenly realized something. ¡°Ah! I understand now! No wonder my heart was racing when I first saw you!¡±


    Lei Yuan was even more dumbfounded. What was going on? He did not dare move and continued to gape at the woman.


    ¡°No wonder I couldn¡¯t take my eyes off you and couldn¡¯t bear to kill you.¡±


    So, what was it?


    The woman suddenly reached out and stroked his chest, muttering, ¡°I really want to cut you open and see just what¡¯s inside you that¡¯s making me so interested in you.¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless. Did he meet a pervert?


    Alright, even if the woman was a pervert, with the disparity of strength between them, what could he do?


    Using force was out of the question, so Lei Yuan had no choice but to use words to persuade her.


    ¡°Uh¡­ Actually, there¡¯s nothing special about me. There are others who are more powerful than I am, so it would be fine for you to let me leave. Look, you¡¯ve already fought me, and I¡¯m sure you can see just how weak I am. I¡¯m not worthy of challenging someone as strong as you.¡±


    The woman shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t care about that. All I want is for you to come back with me.¡±Suddenly, her tone became sharp. ¡°Don¡¯t try and weasel your way out of this. We agreed that as long as you lose, you would have to leave with me. You¡¯re not going to go back on your word now, are you?¡±


    Lei Yuan tried to defend his stance.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t promise you anything, so naturally, it¡¯s not possible for me to go back on my word. You¡¯re just drawing your own conclusions.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t care. You have to come back with me, or I¡¯ll kill you!¡±

 Chapter 33

    Lei Yuan did not expect this sudden declaration.


    ¡®Is this one of those ¡°if I can¡¯t have you, no one can¡± situations? Is she really going to attack me?¡¯


    Lei Yuan wanted to stall for time, but the woman¡¯s scimitar was already coming toward him, so he quickly said, ¡°Wait a minute! Maybe we can talk this over! I never said that I wouldn¡¯t agree with you!¡±


    ¡®First things first, just focus on surviving. I can think about other things after I get out of this situation.¡¯


    As expected, the woman put down her scimitar, but her expression did not look good. She said impatiently, ¡°What is there for us to say?¡±


    Was there another angle he could try to persuade her from?


    Lei Yuan¡¯s brain began to work quickly. He currently did not know any spells, and his cultivation level was not high. So, talking about his strength was off the table. He had to steer the topic to something else.


    Suddenly, Lei Yuan had an idea. ¡°Since you want to bring me back, it would be a good idea for us to get to know each other. What if you find out later that I¡­ I don¡¯t suit your tastes. Will you kill me then?¡±


    He believed that with how her personality seemed, the chances of her letting him leave were non-existent. If she lost interest in him after a period of time, would she not get rid of him?


    The woman actually started to seriously consider this question.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t piss me off, I won¡¯t kill you. However, it really depends on my mood. If I¡¯m in a bad mood, I might just bury you six feet under.¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless. She really would kill him! Should he thank her for revealing this?


    Lei Yuan gulped and swallowed the words that he was planning to say.


    ¡®Won¡¯t I die if I simply say something wrong then? Does she think that she¡¯s my goddess or something? It¡¯s one thing to indulge her, but following her every whim is out of the question.¡¯


    ¡°If that¡¯s the case, then I won¡¯t go back with you.¡±


    Lei Yuan had to be tired of living if he really went with her despite knowing that she would kill him at a moment¡¯s notice.


    However, when the woman heard this, her expression turned cold once more. She raised her scimitar and said, ¡°Fine, I¡¯ll kill you right now.¡±


    Did he have a choice?


    Lei Yuan had no choice but to ask her another question, ¡°What do you like?¡±


    This question baffled the woman. What did that have to do with bringing him back?


    Although it felt strange, she did not question him and started to think about it seriously.


    Looking at her serious expression, Lei Yuan suddenly found his opinion of her changing. This person seemed ruthless, but in reality, she had to think for a long time even about simple questions like what she liked.


    Seeing that she had been thinking for a long time without answering, Lei Yuan tried to speak. ¡°Is this question difficult to answer?¡±


    ¡°Sorry, no one has asked me this question before, and I¡¯ve never thought about it myself. I think, I like new things, like you,¡± the woman replied.


    ¡®There¡¯s no need to apologize for this.¡¯ Lei Yuan muttered in his heart.


    The woman continued, ¡°I also like sweet food.¡±


    Food, that was easy! If Lei Yuan showed her something new, she might be willing to let him go. At hearing her mention sweets, he thought that the answer to his predicament became even simpler.


    Lei Yuan immediately opened the system store and exchanged his remaining Evolution Points for a dessert that only existed in the modern era.


    ¡°Try this.¡±


    Seeing something appear out of thin air in his hand, the woman was surprised. ¡°Is this your spell? What is this?¡±


    What Lei Yuan took out was a cup of ice cream. There was no such thing as ¡°ice cream¡± in this world.


    ¡°It¡¯s a sweet food. Give it a taste. It will be your new favorite dessert.¡±


    The woman seemed pleased, and her mood improved. She followed Lei Yuan¡¯s instructions and slowly ate the ice cream, one bite at a time.


    ¡°Cold, sweet, and soft. What is this? Why haven¡¯t I seen this before?¡±The woman¡¯s eyes were filled with curiosity. ¡°It¡¯s quite delicious. Too bad that I can¡¯t eat it during winter. It would be too cold.¡±


    Seeing her enjoy the ice cream, Lei Yuan exchanged even more points for all sorts of different desserts from the system store. Fortunately, the prices of food were not expensive in the system store, and after the exchange, Lei Yuan did not spend too many of his Evolution Points.


    On the other hand, the woman was extremely satisfied.


    ¡°Where did you get so much delicious food that I¡¯ve never seen before? Will I still have a chance to eat such food in the future?¡±


    Lei Yuan pondered over this and decided not to tell the truth. After all, his goal was to escape. Now that he had gained her favor, his next step was to leave.


    With that in mind, Lei Yuan explained. ¡°There will definitely be another chance for you to have them. However, this food is unique to our country. You won¡¯t be able to have any if I leave the country. If you still want desserts, I have to go back before I can make more for you.¡±


    ¡°So, it¡¯s unique to your country. No wonder I haven¡¯t seen any of it before.¡± The woman came to a sudden realization, but she frowned when she heard the second half of Lei Yuan¡¯s explanation. ¡°But if you leave, there won¡¯t be anyone to make these treats for me.¡±


    She might as well keep him with her! Was there no way to have both desserts and a man?


    The woman thought of a way to balance the situation, and Lei Yuan continued to think of ways to fool her. At least for now, she was still willing to believe what he said. He had to capitalize on this situation and fool her.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. If that¡¯s what you want, I can make it for you and send them over next time.¡± The next time he returned, he would certainly not let her find him again!


    The woman had already thought of this. ¡°Forget it. If I let you go, I might never see you again. Besides, the ice cream will melt on your long journey here. I don¡¯t want to waste food.¡±


    ¡®She actually knows how to take a lot of things into consideration.¡¯ The corners of Lei Yuan¡¯s mouth twitched, and he prepared to continue bluffing.


    There had to be a way to get her to let him go. This time, before he could speak, he heard the woman say, ¡°I¡¯ve got it! Since you can¡¯t go back with me, then I¡¯ll go back with you! This way, you can stay by my side, and I can eat delicious food.¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless. So, after all that, he still had to follow this woman around.


    But the result was much better than before. At least he would be safer in his own country.There was no way he could not refuse. If he refused again, he might be killed right away.


    ¡°Alright, but my house is in the palace. Are you sure you want to go back with me?¡±


    The woman did not seem to mind, and she was expressionless. ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as I can go back with you. Why are you worrying so much?¡±


    After that, the woman teleported the two of them back to the main street. The sudden appearance of two people on the street frightened the people nearby.


    Someone recognized Lei Yuan and thought that it was a spell he used, and they started fervently worshiping him. ¡°It¡¯s the Radiant Knight. We didn¡¯t expect to see you here!¡±


    ¡®Don¡¯t mention my identity here!¡¯ Lei Yuan glanced at the woman, but she did not seem to notice anything and did not react in any way.


    He felt temporarily relieved. After that, the two of them returned to the palace together. The woman did not seem surprised at all when she saw the palace. This made Lei Yuan even more curious. What was her identity?


    ¡­


    At the same time, Ofia and Lotti had sent many soldiers to search for Lei Yuan. They were on the verge of going crazy. Who would have thought that a crowd of people could separate them?


    Lotti felt especially annoyed. It was a rare opportunity to spend time together¡­

 Chapter 34

    ¡°Your Majesty, the search yielded no results,¡± a soldier nervously reported to Ofia.


    He had led a search party for a while, but they could not find Lei Yuan. Ofia seemed to have already foreseen this outcome. The entire city was too big, finding a single person was like finding a needle in a haystack.


    If they had been simply separated, it would have been fine. Lei Yuan could return to the palace on his own. However, there was still no news from Lei Yuan after so long, and neither did he return to the palace. They knew then that he was definitely in trouble.


    Should she continue the search? Ofia moved her lips but did not give the order. ¡°I understand. You may leave.¡±


    Seeing that she had essentially told the soldiers to stop searching, Lotti felt shocked. She subconsciously said with a hint of accusation, ¡°How can you stop looking? Lei Yuan not returning is enough to show that he¡¯s in danger! We should send more troops to search for him, not stop them!¡±


    Ofia was already very frustrated at this point, and when she heard Lotti¡¯s words, it was as if a fuse had been lit, and she immediately exploded in anger.


    ¡°How dare you say that after what you did?! If you hadn¡¯t swayed Lei Yuan into going out and fooling around with you, how would such a thing even happen in the first place? And after all that, you still blame me for not sending people to look for him. Do you think that the soldiers in the palace have nothing better to do?¡±


    Lotti, who was also angry, could not control herself. ¡°As a queen, do you only have so few soldiers that you can mobilize? Didn¡¯t you want to steal Lei Yuan away from me? Now that he needs help, you can¡¯t even be bothered to do your best to find him. Are you even worthy of competing over him against me?¡±


    ¡°What do you know?!¡± the Queen shouted, her voice stern. The difference in aura between the Queen and her subjects became apparent at that moment.


    ¡°Do you think that, as the Queen, I can mobilize the soldiers in the palace at will? Since you like him so much, why aren¡¯t you looking for him yourself? What did you do when you were looking for Lei Yuan?¡±


    Lei Yuan was shocked to hear such a question the moment he returned to the main hall.


    ¡®What¡¯s going on?¡¯


    ¡°I¡­¡± Lotti lost her confidence. She tried moving her lips but did not continue.


    The Queen, who was in an obvious fit of rage, did not notice Lei Yuan return.


    ¡°Instead of solely relying on me, why don¡¯t you go and find him yourself! I¡¯m also looking for him, but it¡¯s not for your sake!¡±


    She still needed Lei Yuan to remove the curse, and she would never give him up to anyone!


    The soldier at the side desperately tried to stop the fight, and when he saw Lei Yuan enter the palace, he hurriedly shouted, ¡°Your Majesty! The Radiant Knight is back!¡±


    If these two people continued to quarrel, the whole palace would turn upside down.


    The soldier could not help but think that Lei Yuan was a troublemaker, but quickly dismissed the thought.The Radiant Knight had saved their country. How could he think that way?


    The two women turned their heads at the same time. The moment they saw Lei Yuan, they immediately pounced on him.


    ¡°Lei Yuan, how are you feeling now? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?¡± Lotti rushed over first, grabbed Lei Yuan¡¯s hand, and began to check for injuries.


    Ofia was not far behind Lotti, and she did not even care about her dignity as the Queen. She simply pulled Lei Yuan¡¯s face toward her and examined it closely.


    ¡°I¡¯m fine. There¡¯s no need for all this.¡±


    Lei Yuan was a little overwhelmed by their attention. He made an attempt at struggling, but the two women did not take it seriously at all and continued what they were doing. The dragon lady who had returned with Lei Yuan was ignored.


    Lei Yuan felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward. He wanted to find an opportunity to introduce the dragon lady to them. Otherwise, the three women would easily start fighting. But he had no chance to say anything at all!


    He stole a glance at the dragon lady and realized that her gaze was not on him at all. Instead, she was looking at her surroundings with a hint of confusion in her eyes.


    Before Lei Yuan could figure out what she wanted to do, the Ofia and Lotti pulled him and started to take off his clothes.


    ¡°What are you two doing?!¡± he asked hurriedly.


    Even if they had feelings for him, they would not do this in public, right? Were all the women in this world so open-minded?


    Lotti beat him to it and said, ¡°Of course, I¡¯m going to do a checkup on you. External injuries are easy to see, but internal injuries are different. I don¡¯t know what you¡¯ve been through, either. So, just to be safe, I¡¯ll have to do a comprehensive checkup on you to have peace of mind!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± On this point, Ofia agreed with Lotti. ¡°I have to check you myself before I can rest assured. I know you. Even if you get injured, you¡¯ll stay quiet about it.¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless.


    ¡®Aren¡¯t you two overthinking? Do you both think that I¡¯m so weak?¡¯


    However, it was true that he was at least weaker than the dragon lady.


    ¡°I really am fine. Look at me, I¡¯m still alive and kicking. Isn¡¯t that enough to reassure you?¡± Lei Yuan thought that he had to quickly make these two give up on giving him a checkup. Otherwise, he would really be stripped all the way down to his bare skin in public.


    Lotti looked at him carefully again and confirmed that he did not seem injured at all, but as a mage, she could feel the fluctuation of his magic power, although it was not much.


    ¡°I won¡¯t be at ease until I confirm your safety with my own eyes.¡± Sensing his complete resistance, Ofia took a few steps back and stopped forcing him. ¡°But since you insist that you¡¯re fine, I¡¯ll believe you just this once. If I find out that you¡¯re secretly treating your wounds yourself, you¡¯ll lose my trust.¡±


    Lei Yuan was stupefied. That was really troublesome.


    Hearing this, Lotti also compromised for the moment. ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll believe you just this once, too.¡±


    Bang!


    Suddenly, there was the sound of something heavy falling on the ground not far away.


    Ofia thought that someone had invaded the palace and reflexively put her guard up. She ordered the soldiers to be on guard as well. However, the soldiers were looking in a single direction.


    Immediately after that, there was another bang!


    This time, everyone¡¯s gazes honed in on the source of the noise. The sound was actually from the dragon lady with long dragon horns. She was fiddling with the tables and chairs.


    However, what shocked everyone was not only her appearance, but also her actions.


    The woman did not seem to know what the function of the tables and chairs were. She turned them around and fiddled with them. In the end, when she could not figure out their purpose, she slammed them down heavily. The tables and chairs were made from strong and sturdy material. It was not surprising that they would make a loud noise.


    ¡°Who are you?¡± Ofia spoke first. With the sudden appearance of such a person in the palace, she had no choice but to be wary.


    Lei Yuan wanted to explain, but the dragon lady went to a swing and looked at its wooden board unceasingly. It was obvious that she did not know what it was.


    ¡°¡­Was she living under a rock?¡± Lei Yuan guessed.


    However, the commotion she made was too big for Ofia to overlook. The Queen lost her patience and shouted, ¡°You! Who are you? Why have you come to my palace?¡±


    If he did not explain her presence, something huge was bound to happen. A conflict among these three women was no small matter.


    ¡°Your Majesty, she is¡ª¡± Lei Yuan hurriedly tried to explain.


    ¡°I am his woman.¡± The woman pointed at Lei Yuan and spoke first. He was so shocked that he forgot what he was about to say.


    Everyone, especially Lotti, was stunned into silence for a moment.


    ¡®What was this?¡¯ Lotti thought. It had only been a short while since they last met, and she already had a rival in love!

 Chapter 35

    Lotti felt suspicious about the crowd that suddenly separated the two of them.


    Could the person who separated them be this dragon lady? The more Lotti thought about it, the more she believed it to be true.


    After they were separated, it was most likely this woman who took Lei Yuan away. That was why he could not be found even after they had searched the entire city.


    ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?! Where did you come from?¡± Lotti retorted.


    ¡°How do you know him?¡± Ofia asked the same question. However, she did not ask as aggressively as Lotti did. After all, it was good to be cautious.


    The woman was too calm. She would not have been so calm after making a mess in the royal palace if she had been a normal person.


    ¡®We must be careful with her.¡¯


    ¡°I came here with him, so why can¡¯t I say that I¡¯m his woman?¡± The dragon lady said this matter-of-factly. She believed that there was nothing wrong with her statement.


    Seeing the tense atmosphere, Lei Yuan hurriedly explained, ¡°After I got separated from Lotti, I met her and a few minor things happened¡­ And now she¡¯s here with me.¡±


    He could not tell them all the details. At the very least, he could not explain himself in front of the dragon lady. Otherwise, Ofia and Lotti would definitely attack her in anger.


    The dragon lady was very strong, and even if the three of them teamed up against her, they still would not be able to beat her. Lei Yuan was certain of this.


    ¡°So, what happened?¡± Ofia narrowed her eyes as she suddenly felt threatened. ¡®What is he trying to hide?¡¯


    ¡°It¡¯s nothing. It¡¯s just a small matter.¡±


    Lei Yuan tried his best to avoid explaining, but the dragon lady answered Ofia, ¡°I had a match with him and he lost. He was supposed to come back with me, but because the food he gave me was only available in your country, I came back with him instead.¡±


    Lei Yuan and the others were speechless, and the whole atmosphere in the palace suddenly became awkward. It sounded ridiculous, but at the same time, it made sense. Lei Yuan felt helpless. He tried his best to help her, but the woman actually exposed herself.


    Things were going to be a little troublesome.


    Ofia was the first to regain her bearings. She already had a bad impression of the woman. ¡°What do you mean by ¡®go back with you¡¯?¡±


    While her attention was somewhere else, this woman had tried to steal her fianc¨¦! In Ofia¡¯s eyes, this was a blatant provocation.


    ¡°I told him the rules. If he loses, he has to go back with me. But it¡¯s all the same to me if I go with him,¡± the dragon lady said in a deadpan.


    The emotion Ofia felt was unbearable, and she really wanted to chase this woman of unknown origin out. However, she was brought here by Lei Yuan himself, so she could not easily justify using force on her.


    However, Lotti had a bigger temper and did not bother holding it back. She asked in a questioning tone, ¡°You¡¯re a woman, aren¡¯t you? Why did you follow a man you don¡¯t even know back home? Don¡¯t tell me that you¡¯re unaware of what that means.¡±


    She wanted to persuade the woman to leave.


    However, the dragon lady ignored her completely. Instead, she looked at Lei Yuan and grabbed his wrist. ¡°What¡¯s interesting in this place? Hurry up and give me a tour.¡±


    Lei Yuan suddenly felt several pairs of eyes on him. Especially those Ofia and Lotti¡¯s, their gazes seemed to say that if he agreed, then¡­


    ¡°Do you even know who is in front of you, you uncivilized thing?!¡±


    Eisen, who was standing at the side, could not stand the dragon lady¡¯s insolence any longer. He had been serving at the Queen¡¯s side for so many years, but this was the first time that he had seen someone so blatantly ignore their Queen. If it was not for the fact that the lady arrived with Lei Yuan, he would have punished her long ago.


    ¡°What does she have to do with me? I¡¯m here for this man, not any of you.¡± The dragon ladywas confused. ¡°Mind your own business, you busybody.¡±


    Her tone brought forth the anger that Eisen had been suppressing all this time.


    ¡®How dare she call me a busybody? I have been the Queen¡¯s knight for so many years. This is the first time that I have been called a busybody!¡¯


    Eisen did not care about his chivalry anymore. He raised his sword and attacked the woman. Lei Yuan could not react in time to stop him.


    ¡®It will be troublesome if they fight!¡¯


    He was not worried about the dragon lady, but about Eisen instead. The woman¡¯s martial skill was very strong, and her attacks were also nimble. What if she killed him in one move?


    The fight ended in an instant.


    Even Lei Yuan could not see what exactly had happened. The dragon lady turned around, and the knight, alongside his sword, was thrown to the ground. Eisen¡¯s sword strike did not hurt her at all.


    ¡°Don¡¯t bother me, or I¡¯ll take your life,¡± said the dragon lady coldly, then she continued to ask Lei Yuan about the fun and delicious foods in the area.


    Ofia immediately felt wary at how easily she dealt with Eisen. The woman was much stronger than she had expected.


    Ofia had thought that this was just a strange woman with dragon horns. She did not expect that the dragon lady could subdue her capable subordinate so easily.


    ¡®This woman¡­¡¯


    ¡°How dare you retaliate?!¡± Eisen¡¯s face turned red from embarrassment.


    This was the first time he had lost to a woman, and other than the Queen, this was the first time a woman had threatened his life!


    ¡°Why can¡¯t I retaliate? You attacked me first.¡±


    Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Lei Yuan immediately stood between the two of them to prevent further dispute. He advised, ¡°Calm down. This is all just a misunderstanding. Eisen, escort Her Majesty and Ambassador Lotti back to their rooms and leave this to me.¡±


    If Eisen had really fought with the dragon lady, he believed that the entire palace would probably be destroyed.


    Eisen did not actually want to leave, but since it was Lei Yuan making the request, he agreed. Ofia, who had realized the seriousness of the matter, did not refuse.


    However, Lotti was still unconvinced. ¡°Humph! I¡¯ve been looking for you for so long, and you were having a private meeting with another woman? Lei Yuan, are you even ashamed?¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless.


    Why would he be ashamed of himself? Firstly, he did not have a partner. Secondly, he was not going to do whatever it was she was thinking about.


    ¡°Ambassador Lotti, please follow me back.¡± Ofia knew that things were not as simple as they seemed, so she temporarily reconciled with Lotti.


    After the three of them left, Lei Yuan brought the dragon lady back to his residence. Along the way, he asked her some questions. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± She had followed him all the way here, yet, he still did not know her name.


    The dragon ladyconsidered how to answer for a long time. ¡°I don¡¯t have a name. You can call me whatever you want.¡±


    Once again, Lei Yuan was speechless.


    This woman was really too strange. She was clearly very capable, but she was as pure as a blank sheet. Her curiosity about basic furniture was the best proof of that. Everyone knew what tables and chairs were for, but she actually inspected those everyday things.


    ¡°So, who were those people just now?¡± The woman seemed displeased. ¡°They don¡¯t seem to like me.¡±


    Lei Yuan felt a wave of killing intent rising from the dragon lady. He immediately bought some desserts from the system store and handed them to her. ¡°It¡¯s okay. You just arrived, so it¡¯s normal for all of you to not be familiar with each other yet.¡±


    At the very least, they could not clash with her now.


    The woman was very satisfied with the dessert and did not ask any further questions.


    After arranging a room for her, Lei Yuan immediately went to the Queen¡¯s residence for a discussion.

 Chapter 36

    It was still very troublesome to deal with the dragon lady.


    ¡°Why did you let her come with you even though you knew she was dangerous?¡± Ofia¡¯s tone held a hint of reproach.


    However, she knew very well this was something that was beyond Lei Yuan¡¯s control. That woman was so strong that even if Lei Yuan had wanted to reject her, he probably would not have been able to.


    ¡°If I did not bring her back with me, the alternative was for me to leave with her. Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore,¡± Lei Yuan said helplessly. ¡°Let¡¯s just think about how to deal with this.¡± He had come to her to discuss this matter. If he could not defeat the dragon lady, perhaps Ofia, as the Queen, would have a way.


    ¡°This is too shocking. She actually took down Eisen in a single move.¡± Ofia immediately became nervous thinking about her. ¡°Her strength is far above Eisen¡¯s, and I also have the feeling that the woman¡¯s strength may only be matched by my own.¡±


    This was what her instinct as a cultivator was telling her.


    Lei Yuan did not know how to continue from here. His plan was to join forces with the Queen and deal with the dragon lady. But it looked like the woman¡¯s strength could actually be greater than the Queen¡¯s. Things would not be easy. Moreover, recalling how murderous the dragon lady looked, Lei Yuan swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.


    ¡°Let me think.¡±


    If this continued, simply joining forces would not work out.


    ¡®So, what should I be doing?¡¯ After thinking for a long time, Lei Yuan realized that he actually had no clue.He quickly asked the system, ¡°Do you have any solutions?¡±


    The system had nothing to say in response to this question. ¡°You think I have a solution for everything, don¡¯t you? If you want to defeat her, you¡¯ll just have to cultivate hard or pay Evolution Points. That¡¯s what I can help you with.¡±


    But cultivation required time, and the dragon lady was too strong. No matter how talented he was, he would not be able to surpass her in a short period of time.


    As for the Evolution Points¡­


    ¡®Forget it. I¡¯m broke now, so I can¡¯t pay that much.¡¯


    Not to mention, how many nice things could he get with the amount of Evolution Points he had to spend? Why should he waste it on dealing with such a woman?


    For a long time, both of them were silent. It was obvious to them that they were currently unable to deal with the dragon lady.


    ¡°I think we shouldn¡¯t be in such a hurry. We should make sure that she doesn¡¯t act out first and find information on her background and purpose before we make any plans,¡± Lei Yuan suggested seriously. ¡°In short, if we can avoid fighting, then we should do so. Otherwise, both sides will suffer, and we won¡¯t stand to gain anything either.¡±


    Ofia agreed with this suggestion, but due to her position as the Queen, she did not say it out loud.


    ¡°Then let¡¯s try to settle it this way first. I¡¯ve sent someone to investigate her identity.¡± Ofia pondered. ¡°I¡¯ll leave it to you to find out her purpose.¡±


    With that, the two reached an agreement.


    Lei Yuan returned to his residence and found that the dragon lady had already returned to her room. She seemed to have gone to sleep. He heaved a sigh of relief and hoped that there would be no more trouble tonight.


    The next day, according to the agreement, Lei Yuan was cultivating the beast taming art in the courtyard with Lotti supervising him. Now that Lei Yuan had some understanding of this spell, he quickly comprehended much of the content that Lotti had taught him.


    Lotti could not help but sigh. At this rate, Lei Yuan would soon surpass her.


    ¡°Hey, since I¡¯ve already taught you my spells, why don¡¯t you become my disciple?¡±


    Lotti suddenly brought up the topic that she had not mentioned for quite a while. Lei Yuan paused for a moment before refused again, ¡°I don¡¯t want to be anyone¡¯s disciple.¡±


    Not to mention, the thought of him being the disciple of a loli was downright terrifying.


    Lotti was not surprised by his answer. She had a lot of time anyway. She might succeed in convincing him one day.


    Lotti had also seamlessly taken on the role of being his master. She did not forget to remind him when she saw his irregular hand motions.


    Meanwhile, the dragon lady awoke.


    She was a little confused when she saw the unfamiliar roof before she remembered where she was. Thinking of what had happened yesterday, her gaze regained its calmness. She then got up and went to the courtyard. Coincidentally, she saw Lei Yuan cultivating.


    The dragon lady was extremely familiar with the spell he was cultivating. It was a spell she looked down upon. She did not expect Lei Yuan to be learning it.


    The dragon lady walked forward and sneered, ¡°If you want to tame a beast, you have to use your strength to conquer it. The beast will never truly submit to you if you use such crooked methods.¡±


    Her appearance made Lotti¡¯s expression turn foul. Moreover, beast taming was a spell that Lotti¡¯s country was proud of. Her words were really like a slap to her face!


    Lei Yuan did not object immediately. What the woman said was not without reason. Using force to make people submit was direct and crude, but it seemed very effective.


    However, could he really make the beasts submit to him with just brute force? Lei Yuan was very skeptical about this.


    ¡°What do you know? Just because you said something doesn¡¯t mean you¡¯re right. We¡¯re training here, so don¡¯t come and disturb us.¡± Lotti could not be bothered to argue with her.


    However, the dragon lady did not intend to give up. With her magic, she conjured an evil dragon on the spot.


    ¡°I¡¯ll demonstrate how taming actually works! Watch and learn. Don¡¯t learn these useless spells!¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless.


    He remembered the appearance of this evil dragon very clearly. It was the kind of evil dragon that the Aoli Empire had unleashed on the palace.


    ¡®How did she conjure this monster?!¡¯


    Not only that, the woman showed immense skill in taming the dragon. It seemed like something that she had done many times.


    ¡®Could it be¡­¡¯ Lei Yuan already had an idea in his head.


    ¡°You can¡¯t do this!¡± Lotti suddenly attacked, wanting to stop the dragon lady. She could not accept the way the dragon lady was taming the evil dragon. It was too cruel.


    The dragon lady had been focusing on taming the evil dragon and did not expect to be suddenly attacked. She was caught off guard when Lotti attacked her.


    ¡°How dare you bother me?!¡± She was enraged. She revealed a vicious expression and immediately retaliated against Lotti. ¡°Do you want to die?¡±


    Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, Lei Yuan hurriedly went to stop them. He almost got injured by the dragon lady.


    ¡°Go away! Don¡¯t get involved in this!¡±


    The dragon lady did not want to hurt Lei Yuan. She pushed him away and continued the fight with Lotti. She really intended on killing Lotti. If this continued, Lotti would really die.


    Lei Yuan did not dare to delay. He immediately bought some desserts from the system store and used them to shield Lotti. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about what she said. You should eat something delicious first.¡±


    The dragon lady¡¯s expression immediately changed after seeing the desserts. She took the dessert and started eating. All the killing intent in her expression was gone.


    Lotti heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she was curious. ¡°What did you feed her? Is it that good?¡±


    She had never received anything from Lei Yuan before.


    ¡°It¡¯s just some treats. Nothing special about it,¡± Lei Yuan answered vaguely.


    It would be troublesome if Lotti wanted some, too. Although these things were not expensive, they still cost him Evolution Points. He should use them sparingly.


    Knowing that Lei Yuan was unwilling to tell her, Lotti did not probe him any further. However, she was a little unhappy about it. He had given tasty food to that woman, but he was unwilling to give any to her!

 Chapter 37

    For the next few days, apart from practicing his beast taming, Lei Yuan spent most of his time with the dragon lady.


    The reason he was sticking so closely to her was naturally because he wanted to get more information out of her. Although Lotti disagreed with his method, she could not stop him.


    Currently, they knew too little about the dragon lady. If he did not do this, they would not be able to find out anything about her purposes.


    Lotti did not want to see Lei Yuan with her at all. Over the past few days, Lei Yuan had not learned any valuable information from the dragon lady, but he had noticed that she was not malicious at heart. In fact, she was quite innocent and curious about everything she had never seen before.


    Not only that, but she was also easily pacified. No matter what happened, as long as he brought out some dessert, she would go from looking murderous one second to happily enjoying the dessert the next.


    ¡°If only I could stay by your side for the rest of my life. That way, I¡¯ll always have delicious food to eat,¡± the dragon lady suddenly said.


    Lei Yuan just smiled and said nothing else. She could not stay by his side forever. One day, he would send her away.


    After spending a few days together, the relationship between the two gradually improved.


    In the palace, Ofia saw that the dragon lady did not pose a threat to the country, so she gradually shifted her focus back to state affairs.


    Everything had been normal recently, but there was one thing that worried her. Since the end of the last war, the Aoli Empire had not made any movements for a long time.


    This was very strange. They did not negotiate with the Aifell Empire, and according to the results of the previous battle, they would not give up and should still be planning to attack the city. There had been no news about their movements for so long¡­ Could they be concocting something big?


    She discussed this matter with Eisen. When it came to military affairs, Eisen¡¯s mind was keen and sharp, especially after the last war. He knew very well that carelessness could put him in an unfavorable situation.


    This time, he did not underestimate his opponent. Instead, he analyzed the situation carefully.


    ¡°Just because the other party hasn¡¯t made any moves for the time being doesn¡¯t mean that they haven¡¯t done anything behind the scenes. I believe that their silence proves that they are plotting something.¡±


    However, nothing could be found regarding the enemy¡¯s plans. This was really troublesome.


    ¡°We have to strengthen our defenses.¡± Ofia grew more worried. ¡°We can¡¯t predict when they¡¯ll take action.¡±


    Eisen followed the order to set up more defenses.


    ¡­


    However, nobody expected that the enemy would attack the city the next day. Their actions were discreet, and they evaded all the scouts¡¯ attention.


    Ofia dispatched Eisen and Lei Yuan to defend the city. However, when she saw the army below, her expression became very stern.


    Lei Yuan observed the enemy soldiers, wondering if he could rely on his Charm attribute to win. However, there were too many of them, so he most probably could not completely enthrall them.


    A fierce battle was inevitable.


    ¡°Radiant Knight, Knight Eisen, I¡¯ll leave today¡¯s battle in your hands.¡±


    Ofia had just given the order when the dragon lady suddenly appeared on the city wall. In the face of thousands of troops, she was not afraid at all. She only said to Lei Yuan indifferently, ¡°I should go home.¡±


    Everyone present was extremely shocked, except for Lei Yuan.


    ¡°Home?¡±


    Ofia was stunned for a moment before she realized something and widened her eyes.


    ¡®Could it be¡­?¡¯


    The dragon lady immediately climbed down the city wall and walked into the heart of the enemy camp. It was unknown what she said to them, but the enemy soon retreated.


    Lei Yuan¡¯s expression was extremely complicated. It seemed that he had guessed correctly. The dragon lady was very skilled in beast taming, and the evil dragon she conjured was also something that only the Aoli Empire had. At that time, he had already begun to suspect her identity.


    ¡®The dragon lady was actually from the enemy country.¡¯


    Lei Yuan suddenly felt a little fortunate that he had not revealed any information about the Aifell Empire during the past few days of interacting with her.


    Ofia¡¯s expression was vicious. She was the queen of this country, yet she allowed an enemy to stay in their country for so long!


    However, she was surprised that the dragon lady was retreating with her army. This was definitely a good thing for them.


    They had avoided a war, and the city gates were safe and still standing tall.


    Ofia brought Lei Yuan and her ministers back to the palace to discuss the follow-up matters. At the same time, the scouts who were originally sent to investigate the dragon lady¡¯s identity had also returned to report.


    ¡°Your Majesty, we have news about that woman. She is one of the Five Generals under the Demon King, and she is a one-in-a-million talent with incredible abilities.¡±


    ¡®Demon King? The Five Generals?¡¯ Lei Yuan had never heard of them before, but he did not ask about them out loud.


    ¡°What?! Is she working directly under the Demon King?!¡± Ofia looked very shocked, and her face was much paler than before.


    ¡°This information can¡¯t be wrong.¡± The soldier added, ¡°Your Majesty, why don¡¯t¡ª¡±


    ¡°You are dismissed.¡±


    In such a situation, Lei Yuan did not speak.


    When only the four of them were left in the hall, Eisen asked worriedly, ¡°What should we do now? We could never have imagined that she was actually the Demon King¡¯s subordinate!¡±


    He looked at Lei Yuan with a reproachful gaze. ¡°Radiant Knight, don¡¯t thoughtlessly bring people into our kingdom.¡±


    Lei Yuan felt that he had indeed done something wrong. If the woman had not insisted, he would never have brought her here.


    ¡°You can¡¯t blame the Radiant Knight for this. That woman threatened us with his life,¡± Ofia explained on his behalf. ¡°The Radiant Knight had no choice but to obey her.¡±


    No one had expected this situation.


    ¡°However, she doesn¡¯t seem to be hostile towards us. She even retreated with her soldiers,¡± Lotti suddenly said.


    This was not her country. She had no right to speak, and she did not have the heart to care about the matters of this country, either.She just wanted to take Lei Yuan away with her and have some time alone with him.


    ¡°That might not be the case. You should remember that this woman is a subordinate of the Demon King. How can she not feel any ill will toward us?¡± Eisen said warily. ¡°Their retreat could be part of their plans.¡±


    Eisen had thought through this a lot. He suspected that the woman had come to the palace to gather intel and that she had left after she had obtained valuable information.


    If that was really the case, then the day of their enemy¡¯s next attack would not be far off. The more Eisen thought about it, the more he regretted not working faster.If only he had discovered this sooner!


    Ofia ordered, ¡°Reinforce the defenses for the near future. Don¡¯t let any suspicious people enter the city. As for that woman¡­ Continue investigating her. Report to me if there¡¯s any news.¡±


    Ofia then turned to Lei Yuan. ¡°Radiant Knight, this is not your fault. Don¡¯t take it to heart.¡±


    Lei Yuan nodded and did not say much. The woman¡¯s identity really made his heartbeat quicken. ¡®The Demon King¡¯s subordinate¡­? What kind of status is that?¡¯


    After returning to his residence, Lei Yuan asked the system about this information.


    ¡°The Demon King¡­ I¡¯m not sure about this news either. I¡¯ll have to investigate. But in the meantime, don¡¯t worry. Make sure to prepare your Evolution Points.¡±


    ¡®Evolution Points? Are you going to charge me for this?!¡¯

 Chapter 38

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    Lei Yuan thought to himself. ¡®If this system of mine has to charge me for everything, then wouldn¡¯t it be useless when I¡¯m poor?¡¯


    Alright then¡­ At least he could get some information that ordinary people could not.


    However, this was not the problem that he had to worry about now. He did not have many Evolution Points left. If he did not think of a way to obtain more, what he could do would be restricted in the future. What was happening now was a good example.


    Lei Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked, ¡°So, how many Evolution Points do I need to pay for this information?¡± He had a feeling that it would not be a small amount.


    The system gave him a vague answer. ¡°The Evolution Points that you have are far from enough. Host, quickly think of a way to get more points.¡±


    ¡®What is with that aloof response? It¡¯s acting like it has nothing to do with this.¡¯ The corners of Lei Yuan¡¯s mouth twitched. He had originally planned to rest, but now it seemed that he had to cultivate quickly. He could earn the Evolution Points he needed by leveling up.


    There was no news of the dragon lady after she left. She came suddenly and left just as quickly, and Lei Yuan soon forgot about her. He was still doing his spell cultivation in the palace, but it was getting harder to increase his level. However, he did gain some Evolution Points for his efforts.


    Lotti had not returned to her home country yet, and when Lei Yuan asked her about it, she shrugged it off and said it was her own matter and that he had no right to interfere.


    Lei Yuan found it strange. Was it really alright for a mage from one country to come to another country for such a long time without returning? Would she not be branded as a traitor? Lei Yuan did not ask about this. Besides, he had not finished learning the beast taming art yet, so it was good for him that Lotti was staying. She could teach him, and then she may leave.


    ¡­


    However, the people from her home country suddenly arrived with news.


    Lotti was teaching Lei Yuan how to cultivate when a soldier arrived with a letter for her. When she saw the seal on the letter, the smile on her face instantly disappeared. Her country had never used this seal without good reason. It could only mean one thing.


    ¡°Let me see!¡± Lotti grabbed the letter from him. When she read its contents, her entire body began to tremble. ¡°How could this happen¡­?¡±


    Noticing her unusual behavior, Lei Yuan stopped his cultivation. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡±


    Lotti paused for a moment before she said, ¡°My country has been attacked by the Demon King. Everyone is in danger¡­¡±


    The Demon King¡­ It was the Demon King that the dragon lady served! If that woman was already so strong, his army would definitely not be weak.


    The Hundred Beasts Kingdom was in great danger!


    ¡°Calm down. Your country is very strong and won¡¯t be so easy to conquer,¡± Lei Yuan comforted her. ¡°What did the letter say? Do you want to go back immediately?¡±


    However, Lotti did not have many soldiers with her. It would be useless for her to go back.


    Lotti nodded. ¡°My king did ask me to go back. He has also expressed his hope that the Queen would aid us. Otherwise, even if I return, it would be hard for us to win.¡±


    Without their help, she might as well not go back at all. She knew how dangerous it was, and she would only have the courage to return when she was sure that she could win.


    Lei Yuan was deep in thought. ¡°Why not take this opportunity to go to the Hundred Beasts Kingdom?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s an option,¡± the system suddenly said. ¡°After all, the amount of Charisma and Worship Points you can gain in this country has dwindled. It would be better to try a new place.¡±


    Was that the reason he had been leveling up so slowly recently? It was not that his efforts were lacking, but that there was not much Charm left to earn.


    After all, there were many people in this country who worshipped him, and only a few did not.


    ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me this sooner?¡± Lei Yuan snorted. ¡°If you had mentioned this sooner, I would have left this place already, instead of wasting time here.¡±


    ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to leave a long time ago? You¡¯re the one who didn¡¯t listen.¡±


    Lei Yuan was speechless.


    ¡®When did it say that? Why did I have no clue about it?¡¯


    Lei Yuan wanted to argue with the system, but he held it in and brought Lotti to Ofia¡¯s residence. After explaining the situation, Ofia expressed her understanding and agreed to send reinforcements to the Hundred Beasts Kingdom.


    However, when she found out that Lei Yuan had requested to go with them, she objected without thinking. ¡°No! You can¡¯t go!¡±


    Lei Yuan had expected her to object, so he explained, ¡°Your Majesty, Lotti is our ally. It¡¯s only right for me to go and support her. She¡¯s also the master who has taught me the art of beast taming and other spells. I should repay her kindness.¡±


    Ofia understood this, of course.However, the reason she refused was not because she did not want to help Lotti, but because of something else.


    ¡°You don¡¯t need to go.¡± Ofia¡¯s tone was a little harsh, but it soon softened. ¡°It¡¯s not that I don¡¯t want to help, I just don¡¯t want you to go. You know very well what she¡¯s like¡­¡± She gestured at Lotti, and said, ¡°You promised to help me remove the curse, so you can¡¯t leave.¡±


    One could tell that Ofia was really afraid of him leaving. Perhaps she was afraid that her feelings were not expressed clearly, and so she continued, ¡°Stay here, I¡¯ll treat you well. I haven¡¯t mistreated you during this time, have I? So don¡¯t leave.¡±


    Any man would be reluctant to leave after hearing what she said. But Lei Yuan just smiled helplessly and explained, ¡°All I¡¯m doing is helping with the war. I will return.¡±


    He told her his motive, but Ofia did not quite believe him. She probed again, ¡°Really?¡±


    No woman would be at ease with her fianc¨¦ acting so close with another woman, not to mention that said woman actually fancied him.


    What if he and Lotti developed feelings for each other during this operation and decided to settle down there?


    ¡°I promise.¡± Lei Yuan did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had been with the two of them for months, but he had no feelings for either of them. Was he not obvious enough?


    He was just going to the Hundred Beasts Kingdom to harvest an army¡¯s worth of Charm and Worship Points.


    ¡°I made a promise with you, so I won¡¯t break it.¡±


    After that, Ofia finally decided to believe him. At least until now, he had not done anything to let her down and had been helping her country.


    However, Lei Yuan was also thinking that his empty words did not seem to be convincing at all. After thinking for a while, he decided to add, ¡°I will put the safety of your country first. Be assured of that.¡±


    Then, he left behind the ferocious dragons and cerberi he had subdued. ¡°They will stay behind to protect you and the country.¡±


    The beasts obeyed Lei Yuan and would not go berserk after he left.With that, Ofia was finally appeased.


    Time was of the essence, so Lei Yuan and Lotti planned to set off immediately. However, before they left, Ofia suddenly looked out of the window and sighed. ¡°Speaking of which, I haven¡¯t left the palace since the last war.¡±


    It really had been a long time.


    ¡°Once I return, I¡¯ll accompany you for a walk around the palace.¡± Lei Yuan¡¯s heart trembled when he heard Ofia, and he answered without thinking.


    As for why he said this, even he himself did not know.

 Chapter 39

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    After leaving Ofia¡¯s palace, Lei Yuan wanted to head out as soon as possible, but he was stopped by Lotti.


    ¡°Why are you in such a hurry? Go gather the army,¡± Lotti said seriously. ¡°We¡¯ll set off tomorrow morning.¡±


    ¡®Tomorrow morning? Now that you know that your country is under attack, shouldn¡¯t we set off immediately?¡¯


    ¡°Travelling takes time. If we don¡¯t leave now, can you be sure that, by the time we arrive, the city gates of your country will not have been breached?¡± Lei Yuan probed.


    ¡°That¡¯s why I told you to quickly gather the army! We don¡¯t need to hurry,¡± Lotti said anxiously. ¡°The teleportation gate can send us back to my country instantly, but there can be nothing wrong with the state of our army.¡±


    The Aifell Empire was the only one that could save Lotti¡¯s country now. If something happened, and they could not get there in one piece¡­


    ¡°Understood.¡±


    ¡®So, a teleportation gate actually exists.¡¯ Lei Yuan had never heard of such a thing before.


    He immediately went to the military barracks to mobilize an army and gave them many important instructions. Of course, these soldiers were the former enemy soldiers he had charmed before. Even now, they still held an immense admiration for him.


    ¡°Radiant Knight! You actually came to the barracks today! Are we going to war? We haven¡¯t had a war in so long that our hands are itching!¡±


    Because they came from the enemy country, they were not sent to fight in the last war. That was probably because the kingdom was worried that they would rebel on the spot.


    This time, when Lei Yuan came in person, they believed that they were going to battle for real.


    ¡°Everything looks good. Get ready tonight. We¡¯ll be going to the Hundred Beasts Kingdom to provide reinforcements.¡± Lei Yuan gave the order, and the soldiers had no objections. They began packing up at once.


    However, there were quite a few people in their army, and when they were done preparing, it was already the next morning. They gathered together, and Lotti used a teleportation array to teleport everyone to a small city on the border of the Hundred Beasts Kingdom. Their allied forces were desperately struggling against the enemy, and it was obvious that they could not hold on for much longer.


    Lei Yuan immediately ordered his soldiers to charge in. He also sent Draco to interrupt their attacks.


    The enemy¡¯s army was in shock, as they did not expect a whole army to appear out of nowhere.


    ¡°What happened? Where did these reinforcements come from? Didn¡¯t I tell you to use a magic array to prevent their reinforcements from coming?!¡± The invading army¡¯s general was very angry when he saw that the formation was broken.


    ¡°General, I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on, either! Without their mage, Lotti, no one can break my magic array¡­ unless she¡¯s actually back.¡±


    However, the general was unable to catch sight of Lotti¡¯s figure in the crowd. Instead, he saw a man riding on the back of a dragon.


    He knew about the warrior they called Lei Yuan. He was the person who instigated a large number of soldiers to defect. Today, he was actually here!


    For some reason, the general thought that Lei Yuan¡¯s face was quite handsome. ¡°Everyone, calm down! Victory is right in front of us!¡±


    The general wanted the soldiers to break through the city gates, but no one was listening to his orders anymore.


    The reason for that was because¡­ everyone¡¯s attention was drawn toward Lei Yuan.


    ¡°Although this is my first time seeing him, my impression of him is that he¡¯s very capable! Such a person is qualified to be my general!¡±


    ¡°Of course, he¡¯s capable. He can even control an evil dragon. How could his ability be lacking? Why don¡¯t we follow him?¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go! I¡¯m not fighting the Hundred Beasts Kingdom anymore!¡±


    The general was speechless and stupefied.


    What was going on? Why did his army betray him?! These were the men who were most loyal to him!


    However, there were still soldiers who shouted at him, ¡°General, come with us! Don¡¯t just stand there by yourself!¡±


    The general did not reply. What shocked him was that he was really tempted to follow Lei Yuan.


    What just happened? The battle was reversed in the blink of an eye.


    The allied soldiers at the city gates did not know how to react to what had happened.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why is everyone running in the same direction?¡±


    ¡°There¡¯s an evil dragon rampaging over there. There¡¯s no way that it¡¯s here to help us, right? If this continues, we really won¡¯t be able to hold on any longer.¡±


    ¡°No, look over there. Isn¡¯t that Mage Lotti?!¡±


    ¡°I see her! She¡¯s brought reinforcements to help us! We¡¯re saved!¡±


    Lei Yuan sat on the dragon¡¯s back and circled above the army. The soldiers were all infected by his Charm and submitted to him.


    Lei Yuan could feel power coming from all directions.


    It had been a long time since he experienced this feeling. Indeed, he needed to move to a new region to get stronger. If he had known earlier, he would not have stayed in the palace for so long.


    In the end, with Lei Yuan¡¯s level increasing, even the general could not help but choose to submit to Lei Yuan. This made the enemy behind the scenes very angry.


    ¡°What do we do now? Did we fail just like that?¡± One of the subordinates asked an authoritative figure nearby, ¡°Should we¡­¡±


    The man waved his hand to signal an affirmation.


    After subduing all the soldiers, Lei Yuan prepared to descend and inquire about the current situation. However, before he could land, he sensed danger.


    He raised his head and saw a dragon rushing over from not far away.


    ¡°Be careful! This dragon is very strong. You can¡¯t beat it head-on.¡±


    Perhaps because it thought Lei Yuan was rich enough, the system began to provide information on its own.


    ¡®What¡¯s going on? Could the enemy have more soldiers hiding somewhere?¡¯


    It seemed that only that one dragon was coming. But Lei Yuan realized that this dragon was different from the other dragons he had seen so far.


    ¡°That is the Infernal Dragon,¡± the system hurriedly explained. ¡°It is very strong. With your current ability, you won¡¯t be able to subdue it.¡±


    ¡®Damn it!¡¯


    The Infernal Dragon¡¯s attacks were extremely swift and powerful, so much so that Lei Yuan had to retreat.


    He did not forget to shout at the soldiers, ¡°Retreat!¡±


    However, he was already too late. The Infernal Dragon had swept across a large area and knocked many of the soldiers to the ground. Without any obstacles, the Infernal Dragon began to attack the city gates.


    Originally, the guards at the city gates were already in short supply. When the Infernal Dragon attacked, they never stood a chance.


    Lotti was so angry that her eyes almost turned red. ¡°I¡¯ll fight you to the death!¡±


    She was willing to die to take down the Infernal Dragon.


    However, Lei Yuan stopped her before she could rush in. ¡°Don¡¯t go. I have a plan.¡±


    ¡°What do you have in mind?¡± Lotti asked anxiously. ¡°Now that my country is being threatened, you¡ª¡±


    ¡°Listen to me. Retreat with the soldiers. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t let anything happen to your country.¡±


    For some reason, these words made Lotti feel relieved. She did as Lei Yuan asked.


    When he saw that Lotti had brought the soldiers to safety, Lei Yuan took out his sealing artifact.


    The system could not help but praise him, ¡°Not bad, kid. You¡¯re quite smart.¡±


    It remembered that this magic artifact contained a subdued Hydra. It could also subdue the Infernal Dragon.


    ¡°Of course, don¡¯t you know who I am?¡±


    Lei Yuan immediately released the Hydra.


    The Infernal Dragon was very strong, and it was impossible for him to subdue it by himself, so he sent the Hydra to fight it. After they wore each other down, Lei Yuan could then subdue both of them at once.


    He could not completely control the Hydra at his current level.


    The moment the Hydra was released, everyone was shocked.

 Chapter 40

    Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation


    ¡®Isn¡¯t this the Hydra from the Aoli Empire? How could it be in someone else¡¯s possession?¡¯


    However, they all suddenly realized that they had actually heard about Lei Yuan using a magic artifact to subdue the Hydra before in the military camp.


    They did not expect to see it released here today.


    ¡°What should we do? There¡¯s no way we can beat the Hydra, right? Shouldn¡¯t we retreat?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t lose hope! Our Infernal Dragon is also a force to be reckoned with! We might even be able to win!¡±


    ¡°We won¡¯t lose. The general has already predicted our victory. Be assured that the Infernal Dragon will triumph against the Hydra.¡±


    The enemy troops were not afraid, but Lei Yuan felt fearful enough to buy a one-time teleportation gate from the system and promptly left the battlefield.


    ¡°Hey! Why did you run away? ¡°The system was a little surprised, ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to stay and capture them?¡±


    ¡°Forget it. If I stay there, I might get injured from their battle. I can¡¯t beat them. Have you already forgotten what happened last time?¡± Lei Yuan rolled his eyes. It was a fluke that he caught the Hydra before.


    The portal transported him to where Lotti and the others were.


    ¡°How¡¯s the battle going?¡± Lotti was very anxious.


    Although they had retreated to safety, the fighting in front of the city gates continued, and they did not know what was happening there.


    ¡®Did Lei Yuan lose?¡¯ Lotti¡¯s heart ached again. If her country fell, she would fall alongside it!


    In comparison, Lei Yuan was very calm. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, let¡¯s head back now. They should be done fighting.¡±


    After he observed the terrain, Lei Yuan could tell that they were not far from the battlefield. After listening carefully, they could still hear the sounds of battle not far away.


    Lotti went back without hesitation. The soldiers also wanted to follow, but Lei Yuan was worried about unnecessary casualties, so he did not let them come along.


    The two of them traveled with great speed and arrived at the battlefield in a short while.


    Presently, the Hydra was suppressing the Infernal Dragon, however the Hydra itself had sustained many wounds.


    Lei Yuan thought about it and did not plan to keep the Hydra anymore. He could not tame this ferocious beast for the time being, and leaving it alive would be an unnecessary risk. With that in mind, Lei Yuan and Lotti immediately rushed in to kill the Hydra.


    However, just as his sword was about to pierce it, the Hydra suddenly waved its tail and slammed the two of them into the ground.


    Lei Yuan was stunned.


    ¡®What was going on? I can tell that the Hydra is on its last breath, but instead of being exhausted¡­¡¯


    He then raised his head and saw that the Hydra¡¯s eyes were red, and its nine heads were raised high. It did not look like it was on the verge of death at all.


    Lotti noticed what was happening before Lei Yuan and quickly pulled him back. ¡°The Hydra has gone mad!¡± She had often encountered berserk beasts before, but it was the first time she had encountered such a powerful beast that had gone berserk.


    ¡°How could this be happening?¡± While avoiding its attacks, Lei Yuan also observed the surrounding situation and noticed the enemy general¡¯s triumphant smile. He immediately understood that they had used some kind of trick.


    ¡°Don¡¯t forget, their country specializes in using ferocious beasts to fight. How could they not be prepared for this? Host, I suggest that you run quickly and don¡¯t involve yourself in this matter. Otherwise, what little Evolution Points you have will be used to heal your injuries.¡±


    The system tried to persuade him, but Lei Yuan was not in the mood to reply. Since the system could not help him now, he would think of a way himself.


    After a few rounds of fighting, Lei Yuan thought of an idea. He still had his magic artifact, and there were other ferocious beasts he had stored inside. With the combined strength of all of them, he believed that he could beat the Hydra.


    Just as he was about to release all the ferocious beasts, a slender figure suddenly appeared, and it was followed by the sound of a blade piercing through flesh. In an instant, blood and toxins splattered everywhere as the Hydra was split in half. Some of the toxic liquid fell on the soldiers, and many of them were poisoned and died straightaway.


    Lei Yuan was stunned for a moment. He then looked at the person who had arrived and realized that it was actually the dragon lady!


    ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± Lei Yuan had not expected her to participate in this war.


    ¡°Dragon Emissary, how can you do that?! Aren¡¯t you on our side?¡±


    The soldiers usually did not know how to address the Demon King¡¯s Five Generals, so they addressed them as his emissaries. The woman was a member of the Dragon Tribe, so they called her the Dragon Emissary.


    ¡°I¡¯ll do what I want. What right do you have to interfere?¡±


    The Dragon Emissary snorted coldly and moved swiftly. She appeared directly in front of the general and kicked him to the ground.


    He probably never expected that the person who led them to war today would actually backstab them at the most crucial moment.


    ¡°I¡¯ll give you one chance. Take your troops and retreat. I¡¯ll handle it from here.¡±


    The Dragon Emissary¡¯s voice was crisp, but the man did not give up and continued, ¡°No, this doesn¡¯t conform to our strategy¡ª¡±


    Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked again.


    ¡°If you don¡¯t leave, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± The Dragon Emissary¡¯s eyes were filled with killing intent. The general did not dare delay any longer. He had no choice but to retreat with his soldiers.


    Although he had no idea what was going on, he was going to live to fight another day. He did not have the capability to go against the Dragon Emissary yet.


    After the army retreated, there was a sense of desolation on the battlefield. Lei Yuan had not expected such an outcome. The one attacking the Hundred Beasts Kingdom was actually the dragon lady, who was helping Lei Yuan¡¯s side!


    His emotions suddenly became complicated. The siege on the Hundred Beasts Kingdom had stopped after the dragon lady rejoined them. Could this be the dragon lady¡¯s doing?


    Why did she do that? Was it because of him? Lei Yuan did not think that he was important enough for that.


    All he did was live with the dragon lady for a few days and give her some sweets. As a subordinate of the Demon King, would she really be moved to act by such a small thing? However, Lei Yuan could not think of any other reason.


    In the end, Lei Yuan¡¯s eyes met hers, and he saw that she was looking at him with some regret. ¡°Hey, what¡¯s wrong with you? Why are you fighting for another country?¡±


    Lei Yuan did not know what to say.


    She was clearly such a powerful person. How could she say such things in a joking manner in a situation like this?


    ¡°I¡¯m here to help her.¡± Lei Yuan¡¯s answer was simple.


    The Dragon Emissary had met Lotti before, so she should know why she was here. In response, the Dragon Emissary glanced at Lotti like she did not take her seriously at all. With her power, she could indeed dismiss Lotti as a threat.


    ¡°You really like to meddle in other people¡¯s business.¡± The Dragon Emissary frowned, seemingly unhappy and accusing him. ¡°I¡¯m not attacking your country, so don¡¯t get involved in other countries¡¯ matters. Otherwise, I won¡¯t be able to take action either.¡±


    When launching an offensive in the future, would they have to investigate the relationship Lei Yuan had with every one of their targeted countries?


    ¡°So, was it your decision to leave the Aifell Empire alone?¡±


    Was their safety really because of her? If that was the case, Lei Yuan did not know what to say. Should he thank her for sparing the Queen go?
