Chapter 1304 - Two King of Gods
Chapter 1304: Two King of Gods
The palace was not as extravagant as Lu Shu had expected. Instead, it felt like a product built by the apprentice of a minimalist designer. There were no golden dragons or beast sculptures. There were no golden rooftops or glass either.
This palace was much simpler than the one in the West Capital, but Lu Shu did not look at these appearances. He was more interested in the qualities behind this minimalism.
It was said that the more complex one’s thoughts were, the more they preferred simplicity. This was not absolute, but this was true most of the time.
The study rooms of tacticians and people in power were typically simple. Only young girls would fill their rooms with dolls and decorations.
Lu Shu walked towards the main hall of the palace. Walking straight was a tradition of honor among the Imperial Dragon Soldiers.
Gradually, Lu Shu realized that this palace was not just filled with males. There were many women as well. Although Lu Shu had broken through a wall, the slaves in the palace did not seem surprised. Everyone would respectfully bow to Lu Shu after seeing him. It was as if they had been told to do so in advance.
Yu Fuyao had been waiting for his arrival. Lu Shu knew this.
But Lu Shu realized something strange. Although everyone in the palace was polite, Lu Shu could not sense any of their feelings. Each of them were like puppets.
There were times when Lu Shu saw a few people after breaking through walls. He would wonder whether he just just seen these people. He immediately realized that he had not seen the same person twice. The people in the palace had very standard appearances, as if they had been formed from the same mold.
They obviously looked different, but their aura made them seem like the same person.
Lu Shu was careful. No one followed him. Everyone went back to their own business after greeting him.
These Rank One experts who hid in the palace had no intention of ambushing Lu Shu. He could not understand what Yu Fuyao was up to. Had he wrongly accused her?
Wait. To Lu Shu’s shock, he realized that one of the beautiful “imperial palace maids” had an Adam’s apple. Lu Shu suddenly felt goosebumps forming.
There were people who cross dressed on Earth, but the problem was, these imperial palace maids were probably not willing to do so. Lu Shu recalled the male companions he had seen. They were pale and did not have beards. Their voices were also strangely shrill. They had probably been castrated.
What was happening? What happened to her male companions? Were they still male companions after being castrated… it was just as he had expected. All of this was fake. All of this had been done to conceal the fact that she had been nurturing underlings.
The thick and pale makeup, as well as the beautiful dresses, made Lu Shu feel as if he was in a supernatural world.
He ran towards the main hall. After he arrived, the gates were completely open. Lu Shu could only see the lamps inside the hall. Purple curtains fell from the ceiling. A breeze blew. Among the shadows inside the hall, someone was lazily lying on the throne. There were dozens of servants meekly singing in front of the throne.
Lu Shu slowly walked in. Before he could even speak, Yu Fuyao, who was sitting on the throne, spoke first. “You broke dozens of my walls. Pay up.”
Lu Shu did not speak. Instead, he continued to observe his surroundings. When Yu Fuyao saw that he did not speak, she said, “If you don’t wish to pay, then fine. Stay here. You can use yourself to pay up.”
“Where is Ming Yueye?” Lu Shu would not have forgotten the reason why he was here.
“How boring.” Yu Fuyao yawned. She waved to her servants, “Bring him over.”
The servants gracefully retreated from the palace. Before Ming Yueye was brought over, Yu Fuyao asked, “Is there anything you would like to ask?”
“The slave owners who entered North America were all yours, right?” This was Lu Shu’s first question.
“Yes, it was me.” Yu Fuyao batted her eyelids. “That’s all? Aren’t you going to ask me whether my male companions are real?”
“Did you kill the slave owners to make me believe you?” This was Lu Shu’s second question. Yu Fuyao’s words had no effect on him.
Yu Fuyao sighed. “How would I have known that you were able to enter that abyss and see Ming Yueye? He is flawless. But it is a pity. He thought that you would know the truth after seeing Ming Yueye. Who would have thought that you would defend against him? If not, why would this have dragged on until now?”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. When he found out that Ming Yueye was the Big Brother of the Puppet Masters, he felt that something was wrong. More accurately, when he saw Ming Yueye in the pearl, he already felt that something was not right.
It was evident that the pearl was not created by the person who had locked Ming Yueye up. Who would be so free as to open the door? Unless that person had some plans, or knew that the abyss had always been used by Yu Fuyao to imprison convicts for life.
Was the flawless person God Lu?
Lu Shu always had a question. The pearl looked like something he had seen before. For example, when he chased and killed the 21 underlings on the limestone road in the palace, they had destroyed a purple pearl to escape.
But this black pearl was much more powerful. It could be used multiple times.
How had this item from the Luniverse ended up on Earth? Although the family said during the deal that it had been passed down through the generations, Lu Shu did not believe this at all.
His only clue was the box he had not found. Tear Tricker had carried this box to Luo City. Although the swaddling cloth and the gourd had returned to its owner, the box had disappeared. Furthermore, no one knew what was inside the box.
Lu Shu felt that he had to go back and talk to that family. He might be able to find the box.
Even the swaddling cloth was not an ordinary object. The box was definitely special…
But there was an awkward situation. God Lu had left the most convenient channel for Lu Shu to obtain news and information, but Lu Shu and Ming Yueye had used it to trick each other. Even if he had never failed, he needed normal allies…
Lu Shu asked his third question. “Why did you want to take the punishment flame away from me?”
Yu Fuyao thought about it. She casually played with her hair as she spoke. “One day, a spirit that looked exactly like you suddenly appeared in front of me and told me that you were dead. He had taken the dark map, but he had to combine it with the celestial map in order to revive you. But I didn’t expect to receive a punishment when I took the punishment flame away. This gave Ming Yueye a chance to take you away and leave. Of course, this was good. Later on, I realized that I had not been successful. If I killed you then, all hope would have been lost.”
“How can a spirit last for so long?” Lu Shu furrowed his eyebrows.
