Chapter 593: Chapter 593: eting the King
Safely retrieving the resurrection dicine, Yang Yu and Lotcar began their journey back to Baihua City.
On their way, Yang Yu could sense Lotcar’s concern.
The areas searched by the Curse Sect were very close to the Silver Teeth Clan’s village. Lotcar worried that the people from the Curse Sect might find their village.
Yang Yu told Lotcar not to worry too much. It was inevitable that the Curse Sect would investigate the Silver Teeth Clan’s village, but for the mont, the people of the Curse Sect did not want to reveal their true identities too soon or let others know they were active in Wansheng Country.
The Curse Sect would most likely, as they had done before with Yang Yu and his companions, pretend to be a powerful passerby, using their strength to subdue the Silver Teeth Clan to get the information they wanted.
At that ti, Lotcar’s choice not to stay might have been a wise one.
If Lotcar had continued to stay in the village, the Curse Sect, upon finding any connection between Lotcar and Yang Yu’s group, would have harshly interrogated him, forced him to submit, or turned him directly into a manipulable puppet.
Based on the available intelligence, the Curse Sect had colluded with Kai Bu because they wanted the Silver Teeth Clan involved in the war.
As long as the Silver Teeth Clan continued to support the war, the Curse Sect would not act rashly against them.
Although Lotcar had killed Kai Bu, he had not changed any of the village’s decisions.
To maintain stability, the Silver Teeth Clan would likely continue to follow the decisions set by Kai Bu until the next Clan Leader was decided.
After careful thought, Lotcar agreed with Yang Yu’s views.
They had initially agreed to return the sa way they ca, and changing routes suddenly could expose their real identities to unseen “eyes” in the forest.
That enemy was also not one they could handle at the mont.
With his bizarre appearance and Binding Magic, Lotcar was certain that if that person truly intended to kill, his clan, along with Yang Yu’s team, would definitely not escape unhard.
To completely eliminate such a threat, they had to keep getting stronger and eradicate the Curse Sect from its roots.
On their return, Lotcar and Yang Yu were not as leisurely as when they had left, with Lotcar running fast for nearly eighteen hours a day. Thanks to this, they returned to Baihua City two days ahead of schedule.
Handing over the pass to the Imperial Guard, Yang Yu had unobstructed access and arrived at the main hall of the Imperial Palace.
At this mont, only Princess Qian Xialan was in the main hall of the Imperial Palace.
The Elf Clan was about to arrive soon. Ming Dalak had already gone to arrange the elves’ accommodations, food, clothing and teachers to help the elves adapt to community life.
Although the guard at the city gate had inford Ming Dalak as soon as Yang Yu had returned, it would still take so ti for him to arrive at the Imperial Palace.
Princess Qian Xialan almost couldn’t control her body and nearly flew off the throne when she heard that Yang Yu had co back so quickly,
“I heard from the soldiers that you have obtained the resurrection dicine. Where is that dicine now?”
Yang Yu did not imdiately take out the Plant Clan’s letter and the resurrection dicine but responded,
“Your Majesty, I have indeed obtained the resurrection dicine. Given its extre rarity, I hope to personally hand it over to His Majesty, the previous king, alongside Your Majesty and the Pri Minister.”
Princess Qian Xialan stared intently at Yang Yu. Now that Yang Yu had the dicine that could heal her father’s pain, how could she remain calm?
“Take that out now; this is an order!”
Facing Princess Qian Xialan’s demands, Yang Yu had no choice but to place the pale gold potion in the palm of his hand.
Upon seeing the potion, just as described in the legends, Princess Qian Xialan rose abruptly from the throne, but she didn’t rush toward Yang Yu. Instead, she clenched her fists tightly, forcing herself to return to her seat.
“I have confird the tools, and since you only revealed the potions after seeing my father, we will wait for the Pri Minister to return, and then we will all visit my father together.”
As she finished speaking, Ming Dalak stepped through the palace’s main doors into the grand hall and bowed to Princess Qian Xialan. After receiving his instructions, Ming Dalak stood up beside her.
Princess Qian Xialan briefly recounted what had just transpired to Ming Dalak.
With Ming Dalak’s approval, Princess Qian Xialan stood up and straightened the various decorations on her attire,
“I accept your proposition. If the potion you’ve retrieved is indeed effective, I will reward you handsoly. Now, please co with , and I shall take you to my father.”
Having said this, Yang Yu, surrounded by the Imperial Guards, proceeded deeper into the palace.
The palace of Wansheng Country resembled those often seen in dramas, yet it was much smaller and far quieter than imagined.
Positions that were typically staffed were now vacant, making it seem less like a royal residence and more like the dwelling of so noble family that had fallen from grace.
It wasn’t long before Yang Yu and the others reached Emperor Wan Zhangshi’s chamber—one of the few bustling areas in the palace.
Heavy guards were stationed there, and Imperial Physicians were moving in and out, busy with their duties.
After gesturing to the Imperial Physician, the physician respectfully exited. Princess Qian Xialan asked Yang Yu and the others to wait at the door while she proceeded to the bedside first.
Yang Yu didn’t peek curiously inside but waited humbly with his head bowed.
“Why are you here? Ming Dalak, I’ve already said that the battle is our priority now. Qian Xialan is under your guidance, teach her more…”
Before he could continue, Yang Yu heard violent coughing coming from inside the room.
Ming Dalak said, “Emperor Wan Zhangshi, we’ve all been very concerned about you. Although I’ve taught Princess Qian Xialan many things, she is still not ready to assu the role of a king…
The Elves are willing to help us, and with winter approaching, now is our ti for a counterattack.
Therefore, I hope you can return to lead us in reclaiming what rightfully belongs to us.
Your Majesty, I know what you want to say—do not worry; we have co here assured of our success.
We have obtained a potion from the Human World, acclaid to cure all diseases—the ‘resurrection dicine.’ With this potion, I believe you’ll recover swiftly.”
“Is everything you’ve said true?” Emperor Wan Zhangshi asked skeptically, his voice breaking into severe coughs, “Cough, cough, cough, where exactly did you get this potion?”
“Father, thanks to this part-Plant Clan hybrid from the Human World. He wanted to cure his own Woodification Disease, so he collected the resurrection dicine. As the potion did not cure him, he agreed to present the potion to us.”
Princess Qian Xialan spoke succinctly, deliberately omitting ntioning that she had initially sent Yang Yu to the Plant Clan to fetch the potion, to get her father to take the dicine sooner.
“That’s right,” Ming Dalak said, “Your Majesty’s health is critical. If he dares deceive you, I will subject him to the most horrific execution.
Now, may we ask you to allow them to present the potion?”
