After listening to what Wutong said, Lin Rui was also stunned on the spot.
"Why?" Lin Rui blurted out.
Why would Wutong want to help him?
And at such a heavy cost, dragging the whole world along, just to give him a chance.
Could it be that he was already so handso that he could attract the Empress’s heart?
Lin Rui asked Su Xi, "What do you think... about my appearance, at first glance?"
"..."
Lin Rui had already cultivated in the Five-Elent Cultivation, investing heavily in physique, willpower, wisdom, soul, and command to ensure balanced attributes.
Under these circumstances, his charm value would increase by 1 point with each level, and sotis not at all. How could an occasional glance suffice for a few dozen charm points?
Lin Rui was quite self-aware and did not ask how he looked upon close inspection.
Su Xi looked at him, pondered her words carefully, and said, "At first glance..."
"Just take a good look at !"
Su Xi turned her head to look steadily at him, paused, and slowly said, "Your self-perception."
"Could you be more specific... Daniel Wu?"
Lin Rui, who was tense, suddenly laughed. Daniel Wu had already gained popularity in this world? Then could he also be considered the Daniel Wu of the Golden Pansy Domain?
Lin Rui smiled and pinched her cool cheek, "My will has decreased, but my wisdom value hasn’t, do you expect to believe this nonsense of yours?"
Wutong glanced at him indifferently and said, "Don’t overthink it. I just didn’t have a choice back then, so I hope others can have better opportunities within my capability."
Lin Rui stifled his laughter, realizing it couldn’t be so bizarre plot of the Empress falling in love with him.
After all, he hadn’t spoken much with her, nor developed any feelings, how could any romance be born?
However, what she said indeed matched her usual style, as Lin Rui thought.
This Empress, while appearing indifferent, was genuinely gentle and graceful at heart, always wanting to take care of the feelings of everyone around her.
Perhaps she was compensating for past regrets.
Rarely did Wutong want to lend a hand, so Lin Rui imdiately asked, "What do you plan to do?"
Wutong calmly said, "I still have an edict and a decree to issue. You need not ask about the content. Just decide if you want to take the risk."
"I do!" Lin Rui promptly made his decision.
Wutong turned her head, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowing in thought as she looked at him.
Lin Rui smiled and said, "Since there’s such an opportunity to try, why wouldn’t I? Like you said, the happiest thing is to have soone let you go and try boldly. Life should be about taking a few adventurous attempts. If you have the chance and don’t try, will you wait until you’re old and decrepit, with the outco already set, to lant a decaying tragic life?"
Wutong’s gaze was complicated, her stunning eyes seemingly flashing countless scenes: an orphaned boy walking resolutely toward the throne amidst kneeling millions with a staff in hand.
Another scene where teleportation gates opened everywhere, demons flooded in overwhelming the soldiers who valiantly went to their deaths.
Falling streams of fire from the heavens, countless living beings wailing and praying in despair toward the Holy Palace.
All this passed by like mirror images, leaving only a bloody mountain of corpses filling the eyes.
"Decree: Princess’s Blessing!"
As Wutong raised her right hand, brilliant golden lights burst directly from the ground, the first, the second, and soon thousands of beams of golden light shot out from the ground, piercing through the sky.
At this mont, the night was illuminated brightly.
All the subjects stepped out of their houses in awe, watching as countless beams of light from beneath the ground seed to connect heaven and earth within the domain.
[Civilization Announcent: Due to the impetus of the Golden Pansy Domain, the Plane War is brought forward by seven hours and twelve minutes! Countdown to war: 5 days, 2 hours, and 24 minutes.]
At this mont, the entire civilization channel exploded, and even so lords who had already fallen asleep instantly jumped out of their dreams.
Mike Fury: "Motherfucker! Lin Rui that bastard is at it again! The Plane War has been moved up by seven hours and twelve minutes! Is he trying to force us to our deaths?"
Noesen Moonlight Forest: "Exactly, this guy is the public enemy of us explorers. As long as he lives, we can’t have peace for a day, always on edge!"
Green and Yellow Cabbage: "Please, please, buddy, be a decent human! With these surprise attacks, our fragile little hearts really can’t handle it."
Your Wang Yiyun: Nightwind City: "Damn it, all my plans are disrupted! The Plane War might arrive before I’m ready."
Ye Manxue: "I agree with Noesen, we must find a way to remove Lin Rui, this scourge. He’s playing with all our lives."
Death God’s Eagle: Dark Castle: "How to remove him? He’s capable of manipulating the Plane War, I’ve asked all the powerful forces and ancient beings I know, and they all say they’ve never heard of anything like it! This ability is simply beyond belief. If you try to remove him, all you’ll do is give him another Crimson Card, what else can you do?"
Quinn Constantine: "So we just let him control our lives and deaths like this? Who knows, next ti I might be undressed, fooling around with a woman, and suddenly get dragged onto the Plane battlefield."
Yekaterina: Ice City: "Then hold it in! Recently, just wear your armor, you idiot."
Quinn Constantine: "Ah! You vile woman, don’t let catch you, or I’ll crush you to pieces. Let’s see if your cold ice is colder, or if my fury is hotter!"
