Lost (2)
"Kill!" Ye Lang immediately rushed over. Level 9 Magic Beast was nothing to him, and most importantly, this rabbit was big enough that he wouldn't have to worry about burning it when roasting it.
"... Why are you in such a hurry? Nobody's going to steal it from you... Wait, you guys, get him! This kid's stealing our points!!" Zhao Yarou suddenly remembered that she and Ye Lang were in different groups. If Ye Lang killed her, she wouldn't get any points.
Although Zhao Yarou was just playing around, she didn't want to let Ye Lang benefit from her!
"Zhao Yarou, I saw this first. Don't try to take it, or I'll notify the staff to kick you out!" Ye Lang habitually called out Zhao Yarou's name directly.
The people present didn't seem to care much about this, not even Zhao Yarou herself. She just laughed and said, "I took it, so go ahead and notify them. Let's see who dares to expel me!"
"..."
That's right. In this Xiangkong Empire, who dares to expel Zhao Yarou? Does anyone want to rebel?
"You are a real dog emperor, oppressing good people!" Ye Lang said disdainfully.
"..."
This cunning little fox seems to be getting bolder and bolder, actually calling the Empress a "dog emperor." Doesn't he realize that the Empress might be furious and kill him?
"I'm not a dog emperor, and you're not a law-abiding citizen either," Zhao Yarou retorted.
"I am, I am a first-class good citizen!!" Ye Lang was very serious, but in other people's eyes, he was shameless. Seeing how rude you are to the Empress, they know you are a troublemaker.
"But you don't belong to our Soaring Sky Empire," Zhao Yarou said, not mentioning anything about being a law-abiding citizen. The most important thing was that Ye Lang didn't belong to the Soaring Sky Empire.
"If it belongs to the Soaring Sky Empire, wouldn't you just bully me if you wanted to?" Ye Lang said as he drew his bow.
"No, I won't bully you, I'll just lock you up!!"
"Damn it, it's still the same!!" Ye Lang shot an arrow, and the rabbit bit the arrow into its mouth, then looked at Ye Lang fiercely.
"What are you looking at? I'll kill you with Nine Stars Linked!" Ye Lang fired nine arrows in an instant, and this time he didn't turn, he just shot them in a straight line.
Soon, amidst Ye Lang's relentless barrage of shots, the Raging Rabbit finally collapsed, falling to the ground with great resentment. It felt it hadn't even had a chance to perform before it was defeated.
"Excellent archery!"
Everyone present, including Zhao Yarou, gave Ye Lang's archery skills a very high rating.
They sensed that Ye Lang's archery technique lacked any Battle Qi, seemingly relying solely on physical strength. Under such circumstances, it was quite unexpected that he could kill a Level 9 Magic Beast.
However, they believed that if it were a human, it wouldn't be so simple; they would have been able to dodge it easily!
"I've made a fool of myself!" Ye Lang said with a smile, then skillfully disassembled the Raging Rabbit and found a place nearby to start a fire.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Yarou asked.
"You've rested enough. It's about time now. Your Majesty, if you're still going, please continue. I won't see you off!" Ye Lang said with a smile.
You're just hoping I'll leave, aren't you?! I'm not leaving!!
"Everyone, rest where you are!" Zhao Yarou ordered, then sat down next to Ye Lang.
"Zhao Yarou, you seem strange today?" Ye Lang asked.
"I'm acting strangely today. Have you seen me before?" Zhao Yarou asked Ye Lang.
"I've met you a few times. You're Her Empress, how could I not have seen you? People say you're a pervert, but now it seems that's a compliment," Ye Lang said. Does being a pervert prove anything?
"So you mean I'm not just a pervert, but a pervert among perverts, right?" Zhao Yarou said, looking at the fire that had already started to burn.
"I don't deny it!" Ye Lang didn't want to lie, and this was basically a confirmation.
"Isn't this what you forced me to do..." Zhao Yarou's voice became very hollow, as if it had a feeling that could be seen but not touched.
This was an expression Zhao Yarou had never shown in public before, but the crowd had become somewhat immune to it; they had seen too many unexpected things today.
"The path is one we forge ourselves; who can force us to take it?" Ye Lang asked calmly.
"Yes, even if I was forced into this path, it was my own choice, and I won't regret it!" Zhao Yarou's words were intriguing, leaving one wondering what she was referring to.
"Then I hope you can continue. You are no longer qualified to be a good daughter or a good sister, but you can be a good emperor!" Ye Lang looked at the roast meat, as if he was just saying it casually.
"If I were a good emperor, would you support me?" Zhao Yarou asked Ye Lang, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, waiting for Ye Lang answer.
"Me?!" Ye Lang was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "Does it matter to you whether I support you or not? I'm just an outsider."
"What if I say it's important?" Zhao Yarou asked.
"My answer is that I will not support it; this is a matter of principle!" Ye Lang replied directly.
"It's a matter of principle. Does that mean you're not Soaring Sky Empire?" Everyone, including Li Yue, thought this way, except for Cold-Blooded Fifth, who knew the situation, and Zhao Yarou, who didn't know what she was thinking.
"I knew it! Just you wait, I'll show you how stupid you are!" Zhao Yarou said to Ye Lang.
"Wow, the roast meat is ready!" Ye Lang ignored Zhao Yarou, cut off a large piece of roasted rabbit meat with his dagger, and started eating.
"Eat up, eat yourself to death!" Zhao Yarou cursed, her expression like that of a little girl, which surprised everyone.
"Li Yue, have a piece of rabbit leg meat!" Ye Lang gave Li Yue another piece of rabbit leg meat.
"Are you trying to tell me to work on my leg strength again?!" Li Yue knew Ye Lang's intentions at a glance and said irritably.
"Yes!!" Ye Lang nodded readily, without denying it.
"I'm telling you, my current state is all your fault. If you despise me, I'll kill you with one sword!" Li Yue looked at Ye Lang, drew her sword, and wiped it clean.
"The weather is nice today, it shouldn't rain tonight!" Ye Lang suddenly brought up the weather without warning, clearly changing the subject.
"..."
At night, Ye Lang slept in the wilderness, while Zhao Yarou and the others slept in the tents. As the Empress, she naturally carried a lot of equipment with her, and Li Yue was fortunate enough to be summoned by her to sleep together.
Ye Lang really wanted to see Cold-Blooded Fifth at this moment, but he knew that the current situation did not allow it. There were too many people around Zhao Yarou, so he could only communicate with Cold-Blooded Fifth by sending messages.
