Chapter 75: “Old Lady, I’m Not Doing This Anymore”
Who has that much power? You should know the cultivation level of an Immortal Emperor. Throughout the entire Immortal Realm, there aren’t many who can firmly defeat him, let alone kill him, unless the Celestial beings from the Upper Realm descend!
The still-charming Empress raised her doubts.
I don’t know her specific identity, but this woman was sent by Tianjizi for me to find, which means she definitely has the ability to kill the Immortal Emperor.
Li Wei said while stroking the Empress’s jade-like hand.
What? The woman who can kill the Immortal Emperor was also sent by Yuhua for you to find? I truly underestimated Tianjizi. All of us have become her pawns, including the Immortal Emperor.
The Empress’s red lips parted slightly in shock.
Are you relieved now? The Immortal Emperor is destined to not escape this calamity. From now on, the Unrivaled Immortal Kingdom will be decided by you.
Li Wei leaned in and greedily sniffed the Empress’s body fragrance.
You rascal!
The Empress blushed and pressed Li Wei’s head against her majestic chest. Then, the two began their passionate encounter.
Lu Yao withdrew her senses and quickly left the inn. Now that Li Wei’s motives were clear, this lead was most likely true.
Qi Huang couldn’t snap back to reality for a long time. She never expected that there were people in this world who could predict the past and future. Being in the center of it all was like being naked, with no secrets at all. It was truly terrifying to the extreme.
Isn’t this a mini version of the Heavenly Dao?
Qi Huang quickly thought of a very fitting analogy.
Lu Yao arrived on the street and began to inquire about the general direction of Blue Ring Star. She soon obtained some information, but it was useless. The universe was densely packed with stars, and countless others were similar. She hadn’t been to that place before, so even if she knew the general direction, she couldn’t find it in a short time.
Lu Yao pondered for a moment and decided to find a guide. Just then, she happened to see a security agency by the roadside.
Bodyguards travel all over the place; no one has been to more places than them.
Lu Yao understood this and prepared to find a bodyguard who had been to Blue Ring Star as a guide. In any case, she had plenty of money now.
Lu Yao walked into the security agency and explained her intentions to the beautiful female bodyguard in charge of reception.
Why are so many people going to Blue Ring Star lately?
The female bodyguard murmured to herself.
What?
Lu Yao asked in confusion.
It’s nothing, it’s just that suddenly many employers want to go to Blue Ring Star these past few days. I really don’t understand what’s so attractive about a place where nothing grows.
The female bodyguard replied casually.
“You said that many people have been going to Blue Ring Star these past few days?”
Lu Yao confirmed again.
“Yes, this has never happened before. That Blue Ring Star is frozen all year round. Forget about people, you can’t even find a living creature there. I don’t know what they are going there to do.”
The beautiful female bodyguard explained.
Lu Yao said nothing further, her delicate eyebrows were already furrowed. Even with the veil, it was chilling.
Qi Huang pondered for a moment and understood. Someone must have gotten there first. After all, “Ding Yu” had approached far more people than just Lu Yao, and those people couldn’t guarantee absolute secrecy.
“What’s wrong? Little Sister!”
The beautiful female bodyguard asked haltingly.
“Nothing, just find me a bodyguard as soon as possible!”
Lu Yao quickly returned to normal.
“Then what are your requirements?”
The female bodyguard breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, she felt as if she were standing in front of a spatial rift, about to be swallowed at any moment.
“No requirements, as long as you know the specific location of Blue Ring Star.”
Lu Yao said concisely.
“No requirements? Are you sure? Do you not even have requirements for cultivation level?”
The female bodyguard asked in astonishment.
“I don’t want to say it a second time.”
Lu Yao became a little impatient.
The female bodyguard pondered for a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, “How about me? I know the specific location of Blue Ring Star, but my cultivation is a bit low, only around the middle stage of Human Immortal.”
Lu Yao began to examine the female bodyguard from head to toe. Perhaps she didn’t expect the other party to volunteer.
The female bodyguard lowered her head somewhat awkwardly. She also knew that her cultivation was indeed too low. Blue Ring Star was located in the border area of the Unrivaled Immortal Kingdom. Without a few powerful bodyguards, it would be impossible for ordinary people to reach it.
“I’m sorry! I’ll just…”
The female bodyguard had some self-awareness and intended to find someone else.
“It’s you!”
Lu Yao suddenly said.
“Really!”
The female bodyguard was overjoyed and quickly took out a small notebook to register, while pleading, “Little Sister, if anyone asks about it midway, please don’t tell any other bodyguards that they hired me.”
“Why?”
A trace of vigilance appeared in Lu Yao’s eyes.
“Oh! My cultivation is low, they’re afraid I’ll escort them poorly and damage the reputation of the Overlord Security Agency. That’s why I was assigned to reception.”
Lu Yao explained in a low voice.
“It’s good to be in reception, no need to risk it.”
Lu Yao commented.
“But I’m short on money. Ten years of reception doesn’t earn as much as one escort!”
The female bodyguard revealed her thoughts.
“Blue Ring Star is so far away, aren’t you afraid of encountering danger? Money is just an external possession, and life is more important!”
Lu Yao reminded her.
“Hehe, for cultivators, no money is equivalent to no resources. Without resources, how can one improve their cultivation? The outcome is still slow death. Rather than that, it’s better to take a chance.”
The female bodyguard said with clenched fists and full of vigor.
A trace of admiration appeared in Lu Yao’s eyes, and she didn’t probe further.
Qi Huang quietly looked at the female bodyguard, as she had once hired an equally ambitious girl as a bodyguard, that was Xia Wei of Juyin Auction House.
Qi Huang casually glanced at the registration information and immediately knew that the female bodyguard’s name was Ai Qing.
Just as Ai Qing was about to finish registering, a sturdy middle-aged man strode down from upstairs.
“Is this lady looking for a bodyguard? I am Han Tian, the chief bodyguard of the Overlord Security Agency.”
The burly man greeted her enthusiastically.
Seeing this person, Ai Qing trembled all over, daring not to continue registering.
Lu Yao frowned again. She was in a hurry and naturally didn’t want to be delayed by others.
“May I know where the lady is going?”
The head bodyguard entangled her like a slippery snake.
“Blue Ring Star!”
Lu Yao replied impatiently.
“Blue Ring Star! That’s located in the border region of the Unrivaled Immortal Kingdom. Even a First-Rank Immortal would need several years to fly there, and the journey is fraught with danger, with all sorts of evil spirits and bandits rampant, it’s very perilous.”
Head Bodyguard Han deliberately sighed and then said, “But fortunately, our agency still has one bodyguard at the First-Rank Immortal realm, who can guarantee your safe arrival there, but the fees might be a bit higher.”
“No need, I’ve already found someone, it’s her.”
Lu Yao casually sent him away.
“What? Her? Do you know her cultivation level? Don’t tell me you’ve been deceived by her?”
Head Bodyguard Han was stunned for a moment, then lectured Ai Qing without question: “Did you not tell this person your true cultivation level?”
“I did!” Ai Qing replied aggrievedly.
“Yes, she said she is a middle-stage Human Immortal.”
Lu Yao could only help explain.
“If that’s the case, why are you still looking for her? Not to mention that she cannot guarantee your safety, with her cultivation level, it would take dozens of years just to fly to Blue Ring Star. By then, you won’t be able to return, you might as well retire there.”
Head Bodyguard Han said sarcastically.
“You don’t need to worry about that.”
Lu Yao suppressed her anger with difficulty.
“That won’t do. I can’t let her damage the reputation of the Overlord Security Agency, so we must change people.”
Head Bodyguard Han blocked her forcefully.
“Head Bodyguard Han, please give me a chance. I guarantee I will deliver her safely.”
Ai Qing pleaded.
“Guarantee? What do you guarantee with? Is it that pitifully low cultivation? She is a mortal, with a lifespan of only a few decades. With your snail-like speed, by the time you deliver her, she’ll be old and dead before anyone else can act. What will happen to the reputation of our Overlord Security Agency?”
Head Bodyguard Han questioned sternly and roughly tore off the registered paper.
“Head Bodyguard Han, how can you do this? You won’t let me send short distances, nor long distances. Do you want me to serve tea and water my whole life?”
Ai Qing’s eyes turned red, on the verge of tears.
Lu Yao had lost patience to argue further and directly asked Ai Qing, “You’re a bodyguard for money, right? Conversely, as long as there’s enough money, you don’t care if you’re a bodyguard or not?”
“Yes… yes!”
Ai Qing answered foolishly.
“Then don’t be a bodyguard anymore, just come with me!”
Lu Yao said, then took out a large chunk of priceless, high-quality Spirit Stone and threw it to Ai Qing.
Ai Qing took a lot of effort to hold it, and before she could react, she was already being dragged out by Lu Yao.
“Haha, old lady, I’m not doing this anymore! Find someone else!”
Ai Qing finally came to her senses at the doorway, as a shocked Han Bodyguard watched. She turned back and yelled at him.
