Chapter 59: I’m in Charge of My Lucky Lady

At this point, Lu Yuan had more or less understood the series of troubles he might encounter after taking Xu Wan’er away.
If nothing unexpected happened, someone from the Imperial Palace would soon come looking for him after he brought Xu Wan’er to the Devil Slayers Division.
After all, the person who cared the most about Xu Wan’er, the Great Xia version of Daji, was definitely the current Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, Chen De.
If not for Lu Yuan’s interference, Chen De might have already been riding the girl and having fun.
Unfortunately, a certain someone who was proficient in “NTR” had once again turned into a God-sent character and stepped in.
After careful calculation, this was not the first time he had taken the Chen family’s girls.
Back when he was still in the Qi Cultivation Stage, he had dared to snatch the Foundation Establishment Stage Chen Yan’s fiancee.
…..
Now that he’s already in the Foundation Establishment Stage, what was wrong with snatching the girl of a mortal Emperor?
As long as he was strong enough, there was no one he couldn’t snatch!
He vowed to protect Xu Wan’er, the lucky lady. No one could do anything to her!
In terms of appearance, lucky lady 2.0 Xu Wan’er was even more beautiful than the demoness Meng Ruyan.
Of course, this was under the assumption that the demoness Meng Ruyan really did look like she did now.
Lu Yuan naturally did not think that her current appearance was her original appearance.
After ail, the demoness was extremely shrewd. She definitely possessed some profound disguising divine ability to assume a fake appearance.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to stay hidden in Qingyun Sect until she became a direct disciple.
In fact, before Lu Yuan came to the Great Xia Kingdom, he had been thinking about how to solve the problem of obtaining luck value.
After all, after coming to the Great Xia Kingdom, he would be thousands of miles away from the demoness Meng Ruyan, his number one lucky lady. It was a standard long-distance relationship.
He couldn’t possibly frequently leave the Imperial capital and travel thousands of miles just for a bit of luck value, right?
Xu Wan’er’s appearance perfectly solved Lu Yuan’s problem.
Whether it was the upper limit of luck value or the difficulty of obtaining luck, the second lucky lady, Xu Wan’er, didn’t seem to be inferior to the first lucky lady, the demoness Meng Ruyan.
At the thought of this, Lu Yuan decided to make a good plan.
He wanted to see what he had to do to increase Xu Wan’er’s luck while allowing himself to harvest it easily.
This was a skillful job that ordinary people could not do. Only someone as experienced as Lu Yuan could perfectly grasp the scale.
As for the luck item, the evil Buddha clay statue, Lu Yuan planned to study it later.
After all, no matter how he looked at it, this thing was very strange.
He definitely couldn’t rashly absorb the luck within.
Otherwise, something would definitely happen.
Therefore, his focus was naturally on the “nurturing plan of lucky lady 2.0”.
As he thought about it, Lu Yuan suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, he had aimed for steady celestial cultivation. Why did it seem like he was slowly moving toward the nurturing-type celestial cultivation?
Something was wrong. Something was very wrong.
There must be a problem somewhere in the middle of all this!
And just as Lu Yuan was “reflecting” on himself, Shang Yun suddenly appeared outside the study.
“Director, someone from the palace has arrived…”
Someone from the Imperial Palace had come, huh? They were quite fast.
“Got it. Bring them to the front hall.” “Yes.”
Lu Yuan put on his mask, stood up, and walked toward the front hall of the Devil Slayers Division.
Even though he only wanted to fish in troubled waters and lay low for ten years, he was still the one who had the final say in the Devil Slayers Division in these ten years!
Were they thinking of easily leaving after entering the Devil Slayers Division? Did they really think that the steady Lu Yuan didn’t care about his face?
He wanted to see what other tricks these secular nobles can play.
In the face of absolute power, all tricks were meaningless.
In the front hall of the Devil Slayers Division, a group of people was standing.
These people were all fully armed and full of blood qi. One look and one could tell that they were not ordinary people.
In this team of twenty-one people from the Imperial Palace, there were one Innate Stage martial artist and twenty nearly Acquired Stage martial artists.
They were the Great Xia Kingdom’s trump card, the Imperial capital’s Imperial guards.
The leader was the commander of the Imperial guards, a tier 4 Innate Stage master martial artist, Qu Zheng.
Since the establishment of the Devil Slayers Division, there had never been a case of the Imperial guards entering the headquarters of the Devil Slayers Division.
Before this, the Devil Slayers Division and the forces of the mortal world were clearly divided.
The two sides did not interfere with each other, which could be considered peaceful.
No one expected that just on the second day after Lu Yuan, the new Director, arrived, he would let the situation develop to the point where the Imperial guards entered the Devil Slayers Division.
If this wasn’t handled properly, it could even cause terrifying turmoil.
And all of this was actually caused by a woman without any cultivation.
Those who had just found out about the inside story all sighed with emotion about the femme fatale.
Just as Lu Yuan headed over, the gold and silver-rank practitioners of the Devil Slayers Division had also arrived at the front hall.
They were in a standoff with the Imperial guard’s commander, Qu Zheng.
However, what was strange was that even though it was the Imperial guards who came, the ones with serious and nervous expressions were not the practitioners of the Devil Slayers Division, but the Imperial guards.
“Commander Qu, what kind of wind blew today that made you, a group of Imperial lackeys, swarm to my Devil Slayers Division like bees and make a scene?” Firebird Fang Ru looked at the Imperial guards standing in the middle of the hall and sneered.
Faced with Firebird Fang Ru’s ridicule, Qu Zheng acted as if he did not hear it.
Fang Ru wasn’t the only one who was fearless. The other practitioners also did not take the Imperial guards seriously.
The power of a secular dynasty was not the least bit threatening to the people in the Devil Slayers Division who had no intention of becoming officials.
They had joined the Devil Slayers Division only because they could obtain the cultivation resources they wanted here.
If they didn’t have these cultivation resources, unaffiliated cultivators like them could go anywhere!
In other words, the only power in the entire Great Xia Kingdom that could make them fear was the Qingyun Sect.
The Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom? He should just take care of his mortals and not come here to scam them.
To be honest, if it wasn’t for the fact that the Qingyun Sect had no interest in managing worldly affairs, God knows who would be the Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom.
In the midst of this confrontation, Lu Yuan and Shang Yun appeared in the front hall.
Upon seeing Lu Yuan’s appearance, the demon-slaying practitioners, who were originally unruly, immediately stood upright.
The four gold-rank great practitioners bowed respectfully, “Greetings, Director
Green Flame.”
The other practitioners followed suit.
“Greetings, Director Green Flame.” “Everyone, please save it.” “Thank you, Director Green Flame.”
Seeing Lu Yuan, the Devil Slayers Division’s director, appear, Qu Zheng, who had been putting on a poker face, finally opened his mouth, “I am the commander of the Imperial guards, Qu Zheng. Greetings, Director Green Flame.”
Lu Yuan looked at him and said in a flat tone, “Qu Zheng, right? If you can’t come up with a reasonable reason to convince me today, then the twenty-one people who entered the door today can just stay here.”
The moment he said that, a ball of green flame appeared behind Lu Yuan.
Immediately after, a terrifying spiritual pressure crushed Qu Zheng and the rest.
In the face of the sudden and terrifying spiritual pressure, everyone’s expression, including Qu Zheng’s, changed drastically.
However, to Lu Yuan’s surprise, these people seemed to be equipped with some kind of special battle formation.
Under Qu Zheng’s lead, the twenty-one people seemed to have become one.
As such, they could barely resist Lu Yuan’s spiritual pressure, though Lu Yuan wasn’t serious anyhow.
…..
Under immense spiritual pressure, Qu Zheng clenched his jaw and said, “Reporting to Director Green Flame, I’m here by His Majesty’s order to ask the Devil Slayers Division to hand over the daughter of a criminal, Xu Wan’er. I hope the director can be flexible and not hurt the peace.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan laughed.
He did not answer Qu Zheng’s question directly but turned to look at Shang Yun.
“Practitioner Shang, they want me to hand someone over. What do you think 1 should do?”
When the wily old fox Shang Yun heard this, he smiled and said, “Director Green Flame, we don’t have a woman named Xu Wan’er in the Devil Slayers Division. We can’t hand her over if we don’t even have her. Thus, I’m afraid that well have to disappoint Commander Qu and his Majesty today.”
Lu Yuan nodded his head in satisfaction and then looked at Qu Zheng, “Did you hear that, Commander Qu? The person you want is not in my Devil Slayers Division.”
Qu Zheng’s expression changed. Just as he was about to continue saying something, an even more terrifying spiritual pressure than the previous one came at him.
“Commander Qu, I hope that you’ll think carefully before you say anything.
After all, once you say something wrong… You may die.”
The moment these words were spoken, Qu Zheng felt as if the air around the hall had instantly solidified and was filled with killing intent.
Looking at the pale-faced Qu Zheng who did not dare to speak, Lu Yuan sneered in his heart.
He was the one who would decide the fate of his lucky lady. Let alone a mere commander of the Imperial guards, even if the Emperor came today, he would be able to make the other party return to where he came from.
It was true that he had a steady personality, but it was also because he was very stable that he dared to conclude: Today, he was going to make Great Xia’s Imperial family swallow this loss!
Old Chen De had better keep the hat on well!
Kekeke….
