Hunting Begins (1)

"There should be twenty or thirty thousand people, and if each person has one, that would require twenty or thirty thousand prey. Is this enough?" Cold-Blooded Fifth's voice rang out from inside the vehicle.

Ye Lang and Cold-Blooded Fifth were riding in the same carriage, but no one knew that Cold-Blooded Fifth was a passenger; even the coachman didn't know he was carrying two people.

"That's enough. It's like this every year. It's like the animals here migrate from other mountainous areas..." Ye Lang couldn't explain it either and found it a bit unbelievable.

There are many wonders in nature, so Ye Lang didn't think too much about it!

Ye Lang stepped down from the carriage and mingled into the crowd, with Cold-Blooded Fifth following him Shadow Step.

Shortly after Ye Lang arrived, a number of people arrived one after another, also preparing to participate in this Hunting Competition, which caused quite a stir!

"Miss Li Yue!!"

"Roar!"

It seemed that Li Yue had arrived. Ye Lang prepared to squeeze through to meet Li Yue so that they could be together.

Soon, Ye Lang saw Li Yue, the beautiful girl who was surrounded by stars. He was about to go over and team up with her, as she had promised to do so yesterday.

At that time, a person familiar to Ye Lang soon appeared beside Li Yue. It was Li Yan. Ye Lang couldn't help but feel annoyed. He knew that this would cause unpleasantness afterward.

But Ye Lang didn't care. In order to carry out the plan, he didn't mind walking with Li Yan!

Of course, Cold-Blooded Fifth's opinion was that Ye Lang should wait until Li Yan left before going, since Li Yan probably wouldn't be with Li Yue and would go find someone else.

Ye Lang listened to Cold-Blooded Fifth and decided to wait here before going over.

Not long after, another person who had attracted everyone's attention appeared. It seemed to be some Young Master, followed by some young lady. They were all influential figures in the capital. It was truly a gathering of powerful figures.

But all these people combined still don't amount to the sensationalism or surprise of the person who came after them!

When Ye Lang saw this person, he immediately decided to stay away, especially since the person was right next to Li Yue. He decided that he would never get close to Li Yue, and the plan was temporarily shelved!

Who has such power to make Ye Lang act like this?

While Li Yue and the others caused a sensation and made people's blood boil, they were all people that everyone knew would appear beforehand, so although it was sensational, it was by no means unexpected.

This unexpected person is someone everyone thought would never appear here. Almost no one expected her to be here, and even now, some people still doubt whether she is an imposter.

Everyone bowed to the newcomer and shouted—

"Emperor!"

That's right, this person is Zhao Yarou. She actually appeared at this event. Is she here to participate in the event and enjoy the fun with the people, or is she just going to show up for a while, say a few words, and then leave?

The answer to this question will be revealed soon!

"Hello everyone, I'm here today to participate in the hunt. Please don't treat me like the emperor; I'm just an ordinary participant!" Zhao Yarou said with a smile.

"Roar!" The crowd shouted excitedly. They were quite supportive of Zhao Yarou's attitude and also wanted to get closer to this little Empress.

Damn it, what's going on here? What is this weirdo doing? Why is she showing up at this? She's getting in the way of my plans!

After Zhao Yarou appeared, Ye Lang immediately kept his distance from her. He felt that even if he had changed his appearance, Zhao Yarou might still recognize him, so he couldn't take the risk.

The biggest headache now is that, since Li Yue is the city's garrison commander, and Her Majesty the Empress has come here, she naturally has no choice but to become her bodyguard!

"Should we take advantage of this hunting trip and shoot her dead... as if it were an accident..." Ye Lang thought wickedly at this moment.

This hunt seems destined to be anything but peaceful...

"Is she the little Empress?" Cold-Blooded Fifth asked Ye Lang with some uncertainty.

Zhao Yarou's appearance surprised everyone present, but many people also wondered if it was an act, as they found it hard to believe that Zhao Yarou would appear.

Although almost everyone on the mainland knows Zhao Yarou, very few people have actually seen her face. Zhao Yarou rarely appears in front of the public and has always been a rather mysterious figure.

Of course, many people still have her photos or portraits and know her general appearance, but when she appears in True Person, they still feel that there is a difference and they are a little unsure.

Cold-Blooded Fifth has a portrait of Zhao Yarou, but he still can't be 100% sure!

"Yes!" Ye Lang nodded. He believed Ye Lang was well-qualified to answer this question definitively.

After receiving confirmation, Cold-Blooded Fifth pondered for a moment before asking a question that would drive Cold-Blooded Seventh crazy if he were present at that moment.

Cold-Blooded Fifth's words were simple, just three words—

"Kill her?"

She actually shared the same idea as Ye Lang, wanting to take this opportunity to kill Zhao Yarou. Her reason was not for the Cold-Blooded Group, nor for the Vermilion Bird Empire, but for Ye Lang.

As a Cold-Blooded Fifth individual, how could she not know Zhao Yarou's attitude towards Ye Lang? It was definitely hostile. She believed that if Ye Lang fell into Zhao Yarou's hands, it would definitely not end well.

At least for the past year or two, Zhao Yarou has maintained this attitude, harboring a deep-seated hostility towards Ye Lang, a hostility that is somewhat perplexing.

Many people couldn't understand why, since Ye Lang had successfully left, Zhao Yarou, as the Empress of the Empire, should have let go of this hostility, as it was meaningless to the Empire. But Zhao Yarou did not.

What's a bit strange is that Zhao Yarou didn't continue to be hostile towards Ye Chengtian and other members of the Ye Clan, or those who left in the past. Instead, she ignored her subordinates' cooperation with them, neither approving nor opposing it.

This is not surprising, because once the Ye Clan members leave Soaring Sky Empire and have no further connection with the company, Zhao Yarou, who has successfully usurped the Soaring Sky Empire, will naturally no longer care about these irrelevant people.

But now she continues to focus on Ye Lang while ignoring everyone else, which is strange!

Simply put, if all the members of the Ye Clan were here now, Zhao Yarou might still treat them with courtesy, but Ye Lang alone would enjoy a special privilege. Well, treating him with courtesy would be impossible; he would be part of the ambush!

Of course, not many people know about this, but as Cold-Blooded Fifth in the dark world, it is easy for him to receive this news, because there is a group of people in the dark world who want to deal with Ye Lang.

"Yeah, I think we should do that too. We should find an opportunity to kill her..." Ye Lang replied directly and decisively.
