I Found Your Wife!

While Xu Nan and Red Hair Ace were arguing, a mysterious calling suddenly came to his heart.

In that instant, the image of a kind old man appeared before him.

"Lord of Yutuo Sang, please proceed to Hall of Valor to receive your investiture."

A faint voice sounded in Xu Nan's ear.

He turned and looked around, and in the inner city of Yu Tuo Sang, he saw a tall building, which was the Hall of Valor Heroes, built by the Arcane Empire in imitation of the divine kingdoms of the gods!

Well, while the Arcane Empire is very creative, it does occasionally borrow designs from other factions.

It's clear that all living beings are one family; you copy me and I copy him.

Xu Nan was wondering why the Amber Woman from the Arcane Empire hadn't appeared yet, even though he had completed the Wizard King's test.

So, one has to accept an official title to complete the process.

"I wonder what title they'll give themselves? The Arcane Empire has been gone for so long, yet they still act all high and mighty."

Xu Nan sent Ace away and went to the inner city of Yu Tuo Sang alone.

Since completing the test, Xu Nan has been able to feel that the entire Yutuo Sang Plus is under his control, except for half of the inner city.

However, the inner half of the city is the most important place.

The Amber Woman is presumably sleeping inside, and treasures such as adamantite, mithril, and Titanium Mi Alloy are also stored inside!

Xu Nan absolutely cannot leave empty-handed like he did at Baoshan!

He traversed long corridors and finally arrived at the Crescent Gate of the inner city.

Three figures were already waiting there.

"Welcome Yu Tuo Sang."

The voices of the three people were numb; it seemed that no one had spoken for many years.

"I am the chief guardian knight of Yu Tuo Sang, responsible for the security of this city!"

Hmm, this is a Stone Golem covered in cracks. Xu Nan stared at it for a while and almost had a trypophobia attack.

"My name Jikes, and I Yu Tuo Sang, responsible for tedious tasks such as trade, economy, and taxation. May I ask if anyone has seen my reading glasses?"

Yes, this was an old goblin with white hair and beard, his eyes lifeless, and he kept bowing to the air to Jiang Yuanchi Xu Nan's left as he spoke. His movements were very much in line with the noble etiquette of the Arcane Empire.

"My name is Sherry, and I am the scribe of Yu Tuo Sang. I'm sorry, Lord, Grandpa Jikes' reading glasses always seem to be moving around..."

Finally, there's a normal person here, and she's a pretty girl at that, wearing a rather neat office uniform, though for some reason she's a bit hunched over.

Xu Nan lowered her gaze three inches, suddenly realizing her mistake and expressing understanding for Sherry's mild hunchback.

There's no way around it; carrying heavy loads all year round, how can one not develop a hunchback?

Alright, so this is the team the Wizard King left for his daughter to manage Yu Tuo Sang?

A scribe, a goblin who couldn't find his reading glasses, and a weathered, stubborn Stone Golem... Xu Nan wondered if this was the real high-quality replica of the Floating City!

"The investiture ceremony is ready. Please enter the side hall." Sherry led Xu Nan through the Crescent Gate to a spacious square.

"Yu Tuo Sang rich and powerful, please do not be discouraged. What you see now is only the tip of the iceberg."

As they were talking, towering statues suddenly appeared in the square!

These statues were constructed of white jade, as if an invisible hand was frantically carving them, and soon the statues took shape.

The four statues depict a roaring Bronze Dragon with outstretched wings, a graceful Fairy Nymph, a dashing human, and a naked Ghoul Loli.

"Hey! That's going too far! At least blur the image!"

Xu Nan strongly protested, saying that the statue had a flaw.

The air was silent for a few seconds, then the statue began to change again. The translucent white jade emitted a dazzling light, forming a strong halo on the chest of the Ghoul Loli, perfectly blocking Liao's view.

Hmm, perhaps this is holy light.

A huge stone tablet stands nearby, inscribed with long passages of epic poetry, the gist of which is that through the efforts of heroes like Xu Nan, Yu Tuo Sang, which had been wandering in the universe, has finally returned.

Xu Nan walked into the Hall of Valor with satisfaction.

At the same time, the system sent a notification—

You have completed the epic achievement - the expedition to Yu Tuo Sang (unique).

[Exploring Yu Tuo Sang: In the year 1685 of the Nebula Calendar, after countless hardships and dangers, you and your companions traversed mountains and rivers, overcoming numerous obstacles, and finally knocked on the gates of the legendary Floating City of Yu Tuo Sang, becoming its appointed lord by the Wizard King. Many years later, the banished Arcane Empire has reappeared in the world's view. The gods and legends skilled in divination have already learned of its existence, and you, from an unknown figure, have officially entered the sights of many powers. Pro World Legends +1]

[Epic Limited Edition: The Bard of the Shadow Realm and the Lyles Plain will sing songs about you. As the lord of Yu Tuo Sang, you are destined to be the focus of many. Will you choose to remain anonymous? (Consumes 50 Shame Points)]

[You have earned the title: Rookie Explorer Who Reads Dog Shit]

[New Explorer's Guide: If you manage to conquer Yu Tuo Sang on your first expedition, you must have maxed out your protagonist's aura!]

[Effect: Explorers will typically feel intense jealousy when they encounter you.]

Xu Nan thought for a moment, "Of course I can't use my real name... Is someone going to use divination magic to mess with me so soon? Hmm, let me think, is anonymity the only option? I remember I have a specialty, the ability to forge names, right?"

The system added the following prompt:

[Falsifying expertise cannot deceive divination spells of a higher level. If you wish to change your name, you can use the anonymity service offered by Lost Paradise. Currently, your Lost Paradise privileges membership level is 1. Upgrading your membership level will unlock more features!]

As Xu Nan listened, she felt a sense of familiarity.

"Then give me an anonymous service..." Xu Nan had a headache. He didn't want to be watched by the gods right now.

[Activate your Lost Paradise Ruby membership to receive three months of anonymity service. Please pay 60 Constant Gold Coin and 60 Shame Points!]

[Activating your Ruby Membership. Anonymous service is now available. Please select a publicly known nickname!]

[Tip: Level 1 members can change their nickname once every 30 seconds!]

Xu Nan: "..."

"Council Speaker Ophy must have secretly made a trip to Shenzhen..."

"Damn it, why didn't Lost Paradise have so many messy systems and functions before?"

He complained for a while, but in the end he had no choice but to obediently pay the money.

In retaliation against those who tried to find out his name, Xu Nan maliciously chose a string of names, but when he entered the thirty-first character, the system prompted:

[A portion exceeding thirty characters will incur additional charges. Details...]

"Enough!"

"Li GouDan!"

Xu Nan, in despair, changed his name and ran into the Hall of Heroes.

What Xu Nan didn't know was that his casual remark nearly drove countless Bard to the brink of collapse.

When they spent money to buy all sorts of information and finally found out the "real name" of the Lord of Yutuo Sang, many people were completely dumbfounded.

That night, many people saw Bard huddled together and weeping in the taverns of Lyles Plain.

Many people have gone to great lengths to force rhymes in tunes and songs.

Hall of Heroes.

The image of the old man that had appeared before stood there again.

Xu Nan bowed respectfully, performing a gesture of respect that the old man didn't seem to notice.

This is the last Wizard King of the Arcane Empire. Xu Nan has a lot of respect for him, after all, he was the one who once used the power of the whole country to fight against the World God!

The Amber Woman also appeared silently. She still appeared to be in a semi-sealed state, Xu Nan guessed that this was just her projection.

Her true self remains in a semi-dormant state, hiding in a secret chamber in Yu Tuo Sang.

"As expected of a young talent. I haven't seen a human being in a long time, and I never expected him to be a descendant of an old friend."

The Wizard King looked at Xu Nan with a smile, revealing his approval.

Xu Nan felt somewhat embarrassed.

The so-called "descendants of the deceased" naturally refers to the bloodline of the Ron Sorcerer. But everyone knows that during that war, the Ron Sorcerer betrayed his promise, selling out the Arcane Empire in a terrible way...

"Don't worry about it. Now that you have completed my spell, you are the lord of Yu Tuo Sang."

The Wizard King spoke quite appeasingly, "I will bestow upon you the title of Blue Feather Knight, a special appointment by the Arcane Empire, with the territory of Yu Tuo Sang. Is that satisfactory?"

Xu Nan recalled that Blue Feather Knight were considered aristocratic in the Arcane Empire, and most non-professional spellcasters reached this rank at most. Moreover, the nature of Blue Feather Knight was rather unique, as they were typically more concerned with honor than responsibility.

Even if he accepts this title, it doesn't mean he'll actually risk his life for the Arcane Empire, which aligns with Xu Nan's current needs.

So he gladly accepted the order.

The investiture ceremony was simple. Xu Nan initially thought the Wizard King was just a heroic spirit or a phantom, but during the conversation, he increasingly felt that the Wizard King was alive.

Although the Arcane Empire was exiled, judging from the Wizard King's tone, it didn't seem as bad as he had imagined.

After the investiture ceremony, Xu Nan received the Blue Feather Knight's attire and seal, as well as the control key code for Yu Tuo Sang.

At this point, the Amber Woman finally spoke coldly:

"As expected of the shameless Ron Sorcerer, who broke the alliance back then and now shamelessly comes back to accept the empire's investiture."

Xu Nan said solemnly, "The alliance is never absent, it's just that sometimes it's late..."

The Amber Woman chuckled and said, "What's the point of an alliance that's five thousand years late?"

Xu Nan thought for a moment and said, "Princess Selena, in order to make our relationship less awkward in the future, how about this?"

"On behalf of Lost Paradise..."

"Wait a minute, let me ask if I can represent Lost Paradise..."

"No!" Roy roared from the other end of the communication channel!

The scene became somewhat awkward at one point.

"Very well, then on behalf of myself, I promise you that I will definitely fulfill the alliance made back then!"

Xu Nan said solemnly.

Serena snorted coldly and remained silent. The Wizard King smiled with satisfaction, his figure transforming into starlight and disappearing into Hall of Valor.

"Are you crazy? If you want to fulfill the covenant, wouldn't that mean you'd be making enemies of Pro Gods?" Roy, somewhat puzzled.

Xu Nan smiled indifferently.

With the Pro Gods invading Earth, Xu Nan will inevitably become their enemy sooner or later. Enemies can be friends, and the Arcane Empire is definitely a wise choice.

It's a pity we couldn't bring Lost Paradise along with it.

However, Xu Nan had a premonition that this was bound to happen sooner or later.

Based on his understanding of Luo Mang and others, there was probably another reason behind the betrayal five thousand years ago.

"I hope Your Excellency will keep your oath. I still need to remain in a long period of hibernation, Yu Tuo Sang is temporarily in your care."

"If there's anything, you can discuss it with Sherry and the other two."

"Before you go into hibernation, I have one last piece of advice: Yu Tuo Sang is not yet ready to meet the world. If possible, please try to keep a low profile and preferably hide yourself."

Amber Woman was going to sleep.

Xu Nan stopped her. "Wait! Your Princess, I have another question."

"At least you need to tell me what level of problem I need before I can come to you, right?"

He didn't know enough about Yu Tuo Sang, and he was afraid that Sherry and the other two wouldn't be enough.

Serena remained silent for a moment, then her figure slowly disappeared.

"You should have Mr. Lü Junyi come to see me."

Xu Nan shuddered and gave an awkward but polite smile.

He silently took out his phone and sent a WeChat to Lü Junyi:

"I've found your wife. She's in the Floating City of the Arcane Empire. Isn't her name Serena? When are you coming to see her? I can't keep taking care of her forever; I need to avoid suspicion..."

Before he could finish speaking, his phone vibrated:

[Lü Junyi: He's taking a shower, this is Wen Xin, what are you?]

Xu Nan slammed her phone down. As for Lü Junyi... well, he's on his own now.

Just then, Red-haired Ace rushed over in a panic:

"My lord! Viscount Frandy has sent a challenge, asking you to fight tomorrow at noon!"

...!
