"Empress Fanyin, please don't tease me!"
Lu Ren took a slight step back and spoke respectfully.
Empress Fanyin let out a chuckle. "Are you really afraid I'll eat you? If it hadn't been for you this time, I'm afraid it would have taken me several more years to obtain the Soul Death Token and become a confidant of the Undead Royal Family!"
Only those who held a Soul Death Token could be considered confidants of the Undead Royal Family.
"A confidant?"
Lu Ren asked in surprise.
Empress Fanyin refined the Soul Death Token and said, "Only confidants of the Undead Royal Family can obtain Blood Crow Divine Water, and their status is exalted. Once the Undead Royal Family truly unifies the Undead Realm in the future, my status will rise with the tide!"
"Unify the Undead Realm? Has the Undead Royal Family not yet unified the Undead Realm?"
Lu Ren asked in astonishment.
"If the Undead Royal Family had unified the Undead Realm, we would have gone to war with the Heavenly Court long ago. How could we have dragged things out until now and waited for the Heavenly Court to declare war first?"
Empress Fanyin smiled. "All right, from now on, you'll follow me. You're only at the Fifth Level Divine Venerable. You must break through to the Divine King Realm as soon as possible so you can help my Undead Royal Family gain a firm foothold. If you can earn the Sixth Prince's favor, that would be soaring to the heavens in a single step!"
"Let's go. We'll return to the mansion first!"
With a wave of her hand, Empress Fanyin took Lu Ren away from the Undead Royal Family. They flew over one mountain after another, tribes, and cities, before arriving before an enormous manor.
