Chapter 1011 - The Supreme Spirit Pill Will Mature Tonight

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Few nobles would go hunting themselves, and they would usually hand the task over to mercenaries who specialized in collecting demonic cores.

They made money by selling demonic cores.

Noble families usually had people like these.

The demonic cores hunted in Rising Clouds Empire on the day before New Year’s Eve were all used for the New Year’s Eve party.

It wasn’t difficult to obtain demonic cores, but it was very difficult to obtain high-grade ones.

Naturally, the demonic cores at the imperial banquet weren’t ordinary.

Xiao Jingyun had sent invitations to the guests at the various palaces early in the morning to join the hunt in Demon Beast Forest.

Bu Yaolian was a woman, and Shao Zun wasn’t around. How could she go?

She had the guards ask about Fu’an Palace: Gu Bailu and Feng Qingtian were both in the palace, but there was no news on Shao Zun.

She asked the guards, but they didn’t know Shao Zun’s whereabouts.

Gu Bailu was afraid that Bu Yaolian’s imagination would run wild when she was alone, so she went over to accompany her. “He might be doing something with the Archfiend. If something happens, he’ll think of a way to deliver a message.”

Bu Yaolian wasn’t too worried about Shao Zun. After all, the battle hadn’t started yet, and the supreme pill wasn’t ready yet. The Archfiend wouldn’t attack him.

“I’m worried about this hunt. I don’t want to go, but it seems more dangerous to stay in the palace alone.”

Gu Bailu frowned. “Xiao Jingyun is probably using this as an excuse to get everyone out of the imperial palace because the supreme pill will mature tonight. Many people will probably find excuses to refuse.”

Bu Yaolian asked, “What about me? Should I go?”

“Wait a while longer. Shao Zun might be back soon.” Gu Bailu didn’t know what to do. She and Feng Qingtian had to go. If they didn’t go, Xiao Jingyun would have a reason to watch them, which would make it even harder for them to take action.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, it was also dangerous for Bu Yaolian to go with them. If she couldn’t escape and fell under Xiao Jingyun’s control outside, they wouldn’t be able to save her even if they wanted to.

“Shao Zun told me to stay in the palace.”

“Then listen to him. He’ll definitely have made arrangements if he wants you to stay here. Don’t worry. Su Shenfan is a cautious person. Nothing should go wrong. But just in case, if Qian’er comes later, I’ll have her accompany you.”

Qian’er had the crown prince; it was understandable that she wouldn’t go on the hunt.

Also, Xiao Jingyun wouldn’t do anything to her since she was just one slave in the palace.

“Okay. Lulu, you have to be careful as well, especially for the baby’s sake.”

“I know. Don’t worry about me.” Gu Bailu comforted her and returned to the palace.

Not long after, Xiao Jingyun sent someone to prompt them to go to Demon Beast Forest. Feng Qingtian took Gu Bailu and got into the carriage.

Sure enough, a lot of people stayed behind in the palace, and only half of the guests went.

Lu Fenying was among them. Qian’er walked over with the crown prince in her arms. “Master, what’s the Rising Clouds Emperor up to?”

“It seems he wants to draw people away. The supreme pill might mature today, but I think there’s a trap. Stay in the palace with Bu Yaolian.”

“Yes, I think so too. Why aren’t you staying behind in the palace, Master?”

“The emperor is keeping a close eye on me. It’ll be more troublesome if I stay back.”

If she was separated from Feng Qingtian, who knew what that pervert Xiao Jingyun would do? She might as well go out with Feng Qingtian.

It would be very easy to find a way to come back during the hunt.

She had already buried a few teleportation runes in the imperial palace.

“Then don’t worry. I’ll be in the palace, and the white dragon is also hiding there.”

“Lu Fenying is willing to let you stay back?”

Xiao Xiao was also in the palace.

“For the sake of the crown prince, he has to let me stay back. His body won’t be able to take it in the forest.”
