Stealing the Yuri Protagonist Harem

Chapter 109: Is She Possibly the Empress?

Luo Wusheng couldn't understand.

Why were there so many things happening tonight?

And every time it happens just when I think I can relax and everything is going smoothly, something has to go wrong.

Watching the contemplative expression on Miss Kirin's face, Luo Wusheng began to think about how to supplement the logic in his words.

There was no choice; a set of well-crafted lies needed to be interconnected, with one lie leading to another, even one true statement among them but even doing all this couldn't guarantee complete safety, as one could never know where a flaw might be exposed.

So, he quickly concocted a little story in his mind

From now on, he was just an onlooker with only a Golden Core cultivation who happened to be one of the first to suspect that the demon race was planning to rescue the Demon Empress. However, due to his limited cultivation, he could only stay on the periphery and observe the Nascent Soul cultivators battle.

Yes, being straightforward with this crude lie would be better than trying to hide anything.

Besides, it was not a big deal to reveal that he came for the Demon Empress's sake.

Considering the tremendous commotion just now, he wondered how many people in the capital city came to investigate. Those who were even remotely aware of the Demon Empress's situation being related to the Ascending Immortality Lake weren't few.

He had just been a step ahead of everyone else.

As for the mysterious person who unsealed the Demon Empress?

Sorry, Luo Wusheng wasn't very clear on that and suggested asking Long Dahai from the Red Blossom Pavilion.

As expected, his words about the Demon Empress being unsealed greatly affected Miss Kirin's thoughts. Many cultivators came to investigate after the commotion at the Ascending Immortality Lake, but they arrived too late. Even if they had come earlier, they would have been deterred by the power of the Nascent Soul battle.

Without the protection of the Human Emperor Sword like the previous time, it was risky, and they would gain very little. In such a situation, most of these cultivators could only speculate about what had happened at the Ascending Immortality Lake from the periphery and didn't even dare to enter the dense forest around the lake.

On the other hand, someone like Luo Wusheng, who ventured into the forest, had already confirmed that the Demon Empress had been rescued and there was likely not a single other person who had this knowledge.

(He knew that something might happen at the Ascending Immortality Lake? And he wasn't surprised by the demon race's plan to rescue the Demon Empress?)

Miss Kirin stared at the handsome Holy Saint in front of her, who seemed to be in sync with her thoughts. Luo Wusheng squinted his eyes and sighed.

"The Demon Empress hasn't appeared in public for quite some time, so when I learned about the demon race's conspiracy, I only speculated on whether the new lord of the demon race had other plans. I didn't consider the actions of the remnants of the Demon Empress's power within the demon race."

"Only after the demon suppression did I have a bad feeling and remembered the old lord of the demon race."

"So, after bidding farewell to Miss Kirin earlier, I thought about it for a while and heard the commotion here. I became certain of some of my speculations and decided to come here to confirm I'm sure Miss Kirin can guess what happened next."

His words were sincere.

After all, most of what he said was true; he had just omitted the fact that the bad feeling he had was caused by the reappearance of the bald coachman, and the reason for his concern was about the demon race's ability to rescue the Demon Empress.

(It means that right after leaving earlier, he immediately came to the Ascending Immortality Lake, witnessed the Nascent Soul battle between the Immortal Nation and the demon race, and finally confirmed that the Demon Empress was freed?)

Miss Kirin quickly understood Luo Wusheng's implication.

"Indeed" she nodded gently.

As she thought, this Holy Saint of the Demon Sect was still as inscrutable and seemingly all-knowing as she had known him before.

At this point, she had no idea how much classified information he held and what earth-shattering events he could deduce from that information. Compared to him, the intelligence chief of her own Six Gate Bureau seemed almost unworthy.

If not for his Golden Core cultivation, she would have suspected that he might be the mysterious person who unsealed the Demon Empress.

Ah.

Luo Wusheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

It seemed like he had managed to deceive her at least for the first hurdle.

Miss Kirin already seemed to believe his previous explanation, but there was still a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Why did it happen this way? Luo Wusheng had a pretty good idea.

After all, his appearance at this location was a bit unfortunate, and the timing of her appearance was too coincidental.

The light pillar at the Ascending Immortality Lake had just dissipated, and the Demon Empress had only recently been freed from the lake. He had been hiding all this time, and now he was exposed.

And to top it off, he was even humming a tune.

All the suspicious elements were just too coincidental.

So many coincidences coming together made Luo Wusheng suspect that Yue Xuanji, who was in charge of the teleportation, might have done it deliberately.

But why would that white-haired loli, who claimed to see through everything, do this? Just to mess with him?

It shouldn't be the case.

According to his deduction, the master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics should have some sort of arrangement with the Demon Empress. Otherwise, the Demon Empress wouldn't have entrusted the body of Yao Ji to Yue Xuanji.

If that was the case, in her predictions of the future, he must have successfully taken the Demon Empress away.

But then, what was the point of having a predicament if she could simply change the landing spot? And why would it have to be Miss Kirin?

What was so special about Miss Kirin?

A Golden-Ranked member of the Six Gate Bureau Kirin She had been bestowed the Human Emperor Sword by the empress to deal with demonic evildoers None of this was described in the original plot

A glimmer of insight flashed through Luo Wusheng's mind.

(Since Yao Ji couldn't be the empress in the mortal world, could it be that the empress in the mortal world is someone else?)

When he thought of living among the common people and understanding their grievances, the Six Gate Bureau agents who resolved various cases for the people, Luo Wusheng couldn't help but feel that Miss Kirin might meet these conditions.

Following this line of thought, the girl in front of him, the first Golden-Ranked member of the Six Gate Bureau he had ever seen

Was it possible that she was the true mortal form of the empress in the Immortal Nation?
