Chapter 929 Setting Out Again

Shirley pondered over Lu Yu’s invitation.

As a foreigner, Lu Yu knew very little about this place.

Helen has been their guide all this time. She knew a little about the place, but not much.

If they continued to venture deeper into the empire’s territory, Lu Yu had to ask Shirley to be their guide and help navigate them.

Shirley shrugged helplessly. “It’s not impossible. I can be your guide.”

“But I have to go home first and bring everything I can.”

“No problem. Bring all your money with you so we don’t have to worry about money later on.”

Now that Shirley had inherited her family property, she was loaded, which meant Lu Yu did not have to worry about money anymore.

The three of them followed Shirley and walked toward their family manor.

Shirley’s slender figure walked in front and quickly arrived at the manor’s entrance.

Along the way, they saw many figures in a hurry. Originally, they should have been sleeping by now, but because of the trolls’ invasion, many died, and the survivors had to clean up the battlefield. Otherwise, the smell of blood would attract more ferocious beasts.

After returning to the manor, Shirley went to the rooms individually and collected all the gold coins available.

Finally, she returned to the courtyard and told Lu Yu, “There’s a total of 70,000 Brillant Coins. It’s enough for us to eat and drink in the future.”

Helen sighed. “Not only do we not have to worry about food and drink, but we can also do whatever we want in the Ember Empire.”

“70,000 Brilliant Coins is a lot, but it’s still nothing compared to those truly wealthy in the capital.”

Shirley smiled awkwardly. No matter how she used this money, she could live a comfortable life. She could spend it freely without working for the rest of her life.

“Shall we set off now or after a night of rest?’ The Empress asked.

“I think Shirley is tired. Why don’t we sleep here first and take off tomorrow?”

Lu Yu suggested as he walked toward a room.

Shirley came to Lu Yu’s side and asked, “Where do you plan to go tomorrow?”

“We plan to head forward and stop at the next city.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you in the courtyard tomorrow morning.” Shirley nodded.

After that, they found their own rooms.

The manor was empty, and there were many rooms. Therefore, even if the four of them each took a wing, there was still much more room to go around.

Lu Yu found a comfortable room and slept soundly.

The next morning, Lu Yu woke up early. He was the first to wake up, and he felt refreshed.

With his physique, he would not feel sleepy even with a little sleep.

He came to the courtyard and saw he was the first to wake up, so he took out his weapon and started morning practice.

Not long after, Shirley, Helen, and the Empress walked out one after another.

“I didn’t sleep well last night, but let’s set off today.”

Helen rubbed her eyes and said.

Shirley walked out with dark circles under her eyes, too.

“I… I didn’t sleep well too. I’ll catch up on my sleep when we reach the next city.”

She yawned.

Lu Yu looked over and saw that the Empress was in her best state.

Perhaps it was because she had always been staying up late…

“Alright, let’s leave the city.”

Lu Yu took the lead and walked out of the manor, with the three following closely behind.

Shirley was wearing a brown windbreaker and beige hemp pants. She had three storage rings on her finger, and it was obvious that she had prepared a lot of things for this trip.

Helen was still wearing her white dress.

The Empress was wearing a short black skirt. She was tall and had a mature and charming figure—the type of woman most attractive to men.

Lu Yu led the three of them out of the manor and saw the busy people on the streets.

The battlefield had been cleaned up through the night but was not completely cleaned up.

Corpses were piled up like a mountain, and the smell of blood had yet to dissipate.

After they walked out, they could still see people cleaning up the bloodstains. They were holding shovels and digging up the places to get rid of those bloodstains.

Everyone was working hard to clean this place.

The four walked forward, left Green Sea City, and arrived at a grassland.

“Let’s ride on horses. My horse farm is not far ahead.”

Shirley suggested.

“No need. Let’s walk a little further. After crossing that slope, we’ll have a mount ready.”

“A mount? Is it some kind of beast that excels in transportation?” Shirley’s eyes widened in curiosity.

“You can say so. However, other than transportation, it also has very strong combat power.”

“Is that so? Now you are making me curious. You’re already so strong, so it must be a powerful battle pet.”

Shirley stated with certainty.

She had countless guesses in her mind. Was it a Golden Griffin, a Purgatory Python, or a Swift Chocobo?

She went through all the ferocious beasts she knew but realized none could be deemed ‘powerful’ for Lu Yu.

Therefore, she was even more curious about what Lu Yu’s battle pet looked like.

They walked for some time, and the Green Sea City behind them was a small black dot.

Lu Yu stopped when he saw they were far from the city.

“For the rest of the journey, we will continue forward on our mount.”

Shirley stopped and looked at Lu Yu curiously.

“What exactly is it? Hurry up and release it!”

Lu Yu coughed lightly and took out the Water Spirit Pearl.

“Eh? What is this?”

She looked at him curiously. She had no idea what Lu Yu was holding.

The next moment, Lu Yu threw the Water Spirit Pearl into the air.

The Water Spirit Dragon’s massive body crashed onto the ground with a loud bang, causing the surrounding ground to tremble.

Shirley lost her balance and fell to the ground. She raised her head and looked at the Water Spirit Dragon before her, her eyes widening.

“What… What was this? A giant dragon?”

“A dragon? The creature that only existed in legends? Am I hallucinating?”

She couldn’t believe it when a dragon appeared in front of her. She had only seen abstract paintings of dragons from ancient paintings before, and this was her first close encounter with a dragon.

“Alright, no wonder you’re so powerful. To be able to tame such a powerful creature, there’s no way you are weak!”

She turned her head to look at Lu Yu. Suddenly, she got even more curious about Lu Yu’s true strength.

A person who could tame a dragon was definitely not ordinary!

“Let’s go. We can set off after sitting on the back of the dragon.”

“Sit… on the dragon’s… back?”

Shirley was stunned once more. She could never have imagined herself riding on the back of such a magnificent dragon. This had never even happened in her dreams.

Looking into the Water Spirit Dragon’s eyes, she gulped unconsciously.

“If I ride on it, it won’t attack me, right?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t allow it to do that.”
