I alone am the Invincible One!
Chapter 274: Empire
Wang Yufan’s hair was disheveled at this time. He was lying on the ground, and his face was covered in dirt.
"Miss, I think this person is probably a beggar or a refugee. We don’t need to bother with him; he has his own way of survival," said the man called Old Fu.
However, the young woman shook her head and said, "Old Fu, you know me. If I hadn’t encountered this, I could have ignored it, but since I have, I must take responsibility. I also hope that people don’t just die in front of me like this."
"But Miss, I just checked; this person still has breath. He shouldn’t be dead. Besides, if we bring someone like this back, what if Master is displeased?" Old Fu said.
"If he’s displeased, then so be it. My father wishes I’d get into an accident anyway; let him be. Old Fu, you know I’ve grown up under your care since I was little. Besides my mother, you’re the best to me, while my father only wants to push me into a pit of fire.
Since I’ve encountered this person, I’ll bring him back. I’ll take him as my servant. If he wants to leave, I won’t stop him," the young woman said.
Old Fu thought for a moment, then sighed and said,
"Alas, alright then. Miss’s heart is too soft. This world isn’t suitable for you. What if this person is a swindler or someone with ill intentions? Wouldn’t saving him be like leading a sheep into a tiger’s den? I just tested his strength, and it seems very weak, not even reaching the Human Immortal Realm."
"Hehe, don’t I have Old Fu? Old Fu can protect me," the young woman said.
Finally, with the combined efforts of several servants, Wang Yufan was placed on a horse, and they headed towards a city dozens of miles away.
...
Half a day later, in an antique room, Wang Yufan, lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.
"Where is this? Have I already arrived in the Primordial Spirit Realm? That old Taoist didn’t explain the situation clearly to me, causing me to waste so much. Alas, this might be the most humiliating time of my life. But it doesn’t matter; it’s also the beginning of my breakthrough."
After muttering to himself, Wang Yufan began to examine the room’s layout. Wang Yufan clearly felt that he was in a rather decent-looking mansion. Wang Yufan slowly got out of bed and leaned towards the table to look in the mirror.
"Oh my god, how did I end up like this? It’s completely covered my handsome face!" As Wang Yufan spoke, he saw a set of clothes and a large tub of water behind a curtain nearby.
"It seems all this was prepared for me. The people here are quite nice. Good, let me wash up and then thank them," Wang Yufan thought as he walked towards the bathtub.
After about half an incense stick’s time, Wang Yufan’s room was pushed open with a creak.
Wang Yufan, who was enjoying his bath, quickly said, "Who’s there?"
After a long wait, a female voice came through.
"Young Master, are you awake? I apologize for being presumptuous. Please call me after you’ve changed and washed up. My young lady is coming over."
Her young lady? Could it be that he was transported here and saved by her young lady? "Damn, isn’t this a plot from a novel? I can’t even remember what a novel is anymore!" Wang Yufan thought to himself.
He then said, "Alright, give me a dozen breaths, then you can come in." As Wang Yufan finished speaking, the voice outside responded and then waited quietly.
"Excuse me, you can come in now." The people standing outside the courtyard heard Wang Yufan’s words, slowly pushed open the door, and walked in.
Entering were four maids dressed in light red, and at the very back was the young lady they spoke of, wearing a light purple flowing immortal dress, with a white face mask covering her face.
When they entered, Wang Yufan was facing away from them. He then slowly turned around.
At this moment, Wang Yufan was already clean and tidy, having changed into the clothes prepared for him. The maids were all stunned for a moment, and the masked young woman also stared intently at Wang Yufan with her beautiful eyes.
"Oh my god, this guy is so handsome! Miss has found a treasure!"
"Indeed, who would say otherwise? When he was brought in, I already sensed his handsomeness. I’m truly proud of myself for being able to recognize it."
"Alright, all of you stop thinking. This man is indeed very good-looking, but as Miss said before, he either becomes Miss’s servant or he goes back to where he came from."
...
As they were lost in their thoughts, Wang Yufan smiled and said, "What’s wrong with you all? Do I have flowers on my face?"
Wang Yufan’s gaze swept over the faces of the maids, finally settling on the young woman standing at the back.
"May I ask how I came to be here?" Wang Yufan asked.
At this, a maid replied:
"Young Master, it’s like this: my young lady brought you back. We heard you were lying in the mountain forest, and my young lady is kind-hearted, so she brought you back, you know."
"Oh, is that so? Then I thank the young lady very much," Wang Yufan said to the masked young woman.
At this moment, the masked young woman also reacted. She had been a bit slow to react from what she had just seen and immediately told the maids to withdraw.
The maids understood after hearing her.
"It’s alright. Are your injuries healed? I saw you lying in the mountain forest, and there are many fierce beasts in the mountains, so I brought you back. Do you not have a home to stay in, or is it for some other reason? Do you need work here?" The masked young woman didn’t realize there was anything wrong with what she just said, which Wang Yufan immediately pointed out.
"My injuries are much better, thank you. However, I don’t plan to stay here. I was lost. May I ask what this place is called, and what is your name?" Wang Yufan asked a series of questions.
The young woman thought for a moment and said,
"This place belongs to a city under the rule of the Mingyue Empire, called Qingcheng. We are the Li family of this city, and my name is Li Ying, so you can call me Li Ying. And you?" Li Ying began to question Wang Yufan.
Wang Yufan said, "My name is Wang Yufan, and I’ve just arrived here. I didn’t know the roads, which is why I got lost in the jungle."
After listening, the young woman nodded.
"Alright, then once your injuries are healed, you can leave here. This Qingcheng is quite large, and since you’ve just arrived, you can look around," Li Ying said.
Hearing Li Ying’s words, Wang Yufan nodded in agreement.
Soon, Li Ying left Wang Yufan’s room.
After Li Ying left, Wang Yufan sat cross-legged on the bed and released the cultivation he had previously stored in his right arm. His true strength would probably not recover anytime soon. He had already sensed that while Li Ying looked frail, her strength had reached the True Immortal Realm.
Although Wang Yufan’s cultivation was gone, his observational skills remained. He could clearly sense Li Ying’s cultivation, and even the cultivation of the other maids was above the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Wang Yufan felt that such a configuration should be considered quite good here.
Ni Chang thought for a while, then dismissed all these thoughts and began to first recover half of his strength. After a hundred breaths of operation, Wang Yufan’s realm recovered to the late Celestial Immortal Realm.
In the Primordial Spirit Realm, where powerful individuals gathered, Wang Yufan felt that his strength was still somewhat low.
