Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City-Chapter 554 - 553: Trouble Arises

Zhou Fatty was excited, but the Elf Princess was filled with embarrassment and utmost rage.

Who is she?

After all, she is the princess of the Elf Country, only agreeing to marry the Gu Emperor of Gu Country to ensure peace for the future of the Elf Clan.

In other words, regardless of her willingness, she is already considered the woman of the Gu Emperor. But who is this fat man in front of her, and what race does he belong to?

Not only did he intrude into her carriage uninvited, he even demanded her to be his woman!

"Leave immediately! I assure you, I won’t make things difficult for you, otherwise..." The Elf Princess was very angry, however, she held back, took a deep breath, and pointed to the door through which Lin Hao had entered earlier.

"No." Lin Hao shook his head: "We won’t leave, and besides, you might want to consider what my brother here has said."

"How dare you! If you continue like this, I’ll call for help!" The Elf Princess’s eyebrows inverted with anger, and her expression bore traces of fury.

In truth, in the eyes of the Elf Princess, the fact that she had not called for help and had not captured these people was already a grand mercy on her part. And yet, these two men before her were shameless to such an extent.

Consider what?

To disregard the fate of her race and be with this fat man?

For a moment, the princess’s rage soared rapidly, reaching an incredible level.

However, just as the princess was about to explode, the caravan came to a halt.

"Elf Princess, come forth to hear the proclamation!!"

Outside, the distinctive accent of the people from Gu Country resounded, the shrill voice akin to that of a eunuch.

Then, Xiaoqing’s voice emerged in front of the carriage: "Princess, are you well? The people from Gu Country have arrived."

The arrival of the people from Gu Country naturally meant the welcoming party.

The Elf Princess glanced at Lin Hao and Zhou Fatty, took a deep breath, and calmed herself: "Has the Gu Emperor come to welcome me?"

In front of the carriage, there was silence for a moment before Xiaoqing responded, quite annoyed: "No, several eunuchs came along with the Gu Country’s army, but not the Gu Emperor, not even a single presentable minister."

No Gu Emperor?

This wasn’t according to the plan.

The Elf Princess frowned, and for some reason glanced at Lin Hao before saying: "Alright, get ready for a bit, I’ll come out soon."

"Yes."

Xiaoqing agreed, and then, the Elf Princess’s guard began to form ranks.

Inside the carriage, it became quiet. Lin Hao wore a harmless smile, watching the Elf Princess, while Zhou Fatty was utterly smitten, his eyes never straying from the Elf Princess’s face.

After a long while, the princess took a deep breath and said to Lin Hao: "You two hide here and don’t move around."

Having said that, the Elf Princess walked outside.

Once the princess had gone, Fatty’s soul seemed to return as he grinned foolishly and looked at Lin Hao: "Big brother, what does the princess mean?"

"Nothing much." Lin Hao rolled his eyes: "Any sane person wouldn’t treat us as lunatics. Look at us now, how can we compare with the Gu Emperor?"

"The Gu Emperor? Afraid of him? If push comes to shove, we’ll just annihilate his Gu Country! Then let’s see if he’s still arrogant!" Suddenly, Fatty was brimming with murderous intent, gnashing his teeth as if the Gu Emperor was his mortal enemy.

With Fatty speaking like that, Lin Hao felt a bit tempted.

Meanwhile, outside the carriage, the Elf Princess had already disembarked.

"The decree from the Gu Emperor: The Elf Princess shall set up camp outside the Imperial City first. The wedding ceremony will be postponed until an auspicious date is chosen." The eunuch-like voice came from outside, Lin Hao’s eyebrows raised slightly, as if he sensed something unusual.

"Postponed? Why postponed! The marriage alliance between the two countries has been arranged beforehand, why is the Gu Emperor showing such neglect?!" The angry voice of the Elf Princess followed.

Then, the eunuch neither explained nor even bothered to explain.

Because behind the eunuch stood the mighty army of Gu Country, inevitably forcing the Elf Clan’s convoy to act according to the Gu Emperor’s command.

The Elf Princess’s eyes reddened with anger.

She had come here to sacrifice herself for a political marriage, and had anticipated what she might encounter, but being left hanging outside the Imperial City by the Gu Emperor was something she had never imagined.

But, the situation was stronger than her will, the Gu Emperor now had such confidence, such strength! She, Princess Avril of the Elf Country, was nothing but a plaything in the hands of the Gu Emperor.

In truth, the moment Princess Avril agreed to come to Gu Country for the marriage, she already understood her status and what her end would be.

But now...

Elf Country is in grave danger, and yet the Gu Emperor displays such an attitude, Avril is so anxious she could cry!

What to do?

There is nothing that can be done!

Standing before the arrogantly posturing eunuch, Avril took several deep breaths before finally being forced to yield.

"Let’s set up camp in the designated area."

The order was given, and the elves began to move.

In fact, it was a very simple campsite, and the Princess’s guards quickly set up camp on a slope outside the Gu Country Imperial City.

Once the camp was established, all their needs were supplied by Gu Country, but the area around the camp was clearly surveilled by Gu Country’s troops, an obvious case of house arrest.

"What should we do? What does this mean? Princess, have we been deceived?" In front of the caravan, the maid Xiaoqing was visibly anxious.

"Perhaps..."

Avril’s brow furrowed tightly; she had a bad premonition.

These past two years, several empires had been attacking the Elf Country, seeking to subjugate the Elf Clan, and lately the situation had reached a very critical juncture.

Not long ago, the Gu Emperor sent an envoy saying that Gu Country could help mediate, persuading the other countries to withdraw their troops on the condition that Avril come for the marriage.

Moreover, to show their power, the various countries really did cease their attacks after the Gu Emperor’s Envoy arrived.

But now, with the marriage alliance in jeopardy, what about the affairs of the Elf Country...

Avril was deeply worried. She knew very well that there was no such thing as credibility between races; she had only come on the off chance that there was hope, but now...

"General He Fei!"

Suddenly, Avril stood up and called out of the caravan.

The guard General soon responded from outside: "Princess?"

"You need to find out why there’s been a sudden change in Gu Country, we need the latest intelligence," Avril said, quickly and calmly issuing her command.

But General He Fei was in a difficult position: "Princess, we have been put under house arrest, our people can’t leave the camp. I’ve already tried; the Gu Country’s people have sealed off the surroundings not even a fly could get out."

Can’t get out?

Has something really happened?

Could it be that Gu Country and the other empires are of the same ilk, intending to lure her in with deceit and then betray and annihilate the Elf Clan?

A chill ran down Avril’s spine, and she broke out in goosebumps from the shock.

Such actions were very likely for Gu Country to take.

What to do?

If this continues, the Elf Clan would likely not only lose the Princess, but their soldiers as well, and in the end, may still become slaves as an entire race!

Avril’s senses were particularly sharp at this moment; her face pale, she slumped into her seat within the carriage, unable to hold back any longer, tears streaming down her cheeks.
