Chapter 134 - What Do You Mean 'Robbery'? I Was Commandeering!
Returning home, Lin Fan tossed An Yao onto the sofa.
“Lin Fan, you're back… hmm?”
Long Yue walked out of the bedroom and, with one look, saw An Yao lying on the sofa. She was instantly shocked.
Seeing Long Yue standing before her, An Yao's eyes welled with emotional tears. She forced her injured body to climb up from the sofa.
After a hundred years, she was finally seeing Her Majesty the Empress again!
Her Majesty is safe. This is wonderful…
“What happened to your injuries?”
Long Yue hurried forward to support the unsteady An Yao. Seeing her injuries, her delicate brows furrowed, and she turned to look reproachfully at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan spread his hands helplessly.
“This One was already very restrained…”
To be honest, if he hadn't shown mercy, An Yao would have been killed by his one palm strike long ago.
If only she had listened to him properly in the beginning, she wouldn't have ended up covered in injuries.
“Your Majesty the Empress, An Yao was incompetent. I failed to rescue you and was captured by the Demon Sovereign instead…”
An Yao knelt before Long Yue, her face full of shame and self-reproach.
She had planned to eliminate the Demon Sovereign and rescue the Empress, but instead, she herself had ended up as his captive.
Long Yue fell into an awkward silence.
How am I supposed to explain to her that I haven't actually been captured…
Meanwhile, Meizhi and the others were also called over from next door by Lin Fan.
The moment they entered and saw An Yao, Meizhi and the others were all surprised.
“Isn't this Madam's personal handmaiden?”
“This King remembers her too. The daughter of the Sword-Wielding Sect's Master.”
“How did she end up here?”
“That's right, An Yao. How did you get here?” Long Yue also asked curiously.
Meizhi and the others had relied on the Heaven-Surveying Instrument and the Realm-Opening Chart to find this place. This made her curious: how had An Yao found this place so accurately?
“Your Majesty, this subordinate saw that the Demon Race was acting suspiciously recently, as if preparing for something.”
“This subordinate guessed it might be related to the Demon Sovereign, so I thought that by tailing the demons, I might be able to find your whereabouts, Your Majesty. So I followed them in secret.”
After both Long Yue and Lin Fan fell into the void, she was burning with anxiety, wishing she could dive into the void to search for them.
Unfortunately, her cultivation alone was not enough to break through the void; it was simply impossible. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fire·net
And for the next hundred years, she kept trying to find various solutions, but to no avail.
Until she discovered the secret movements of Meizhi and the others, at which point she decided to follow them in secret.
And sure enough, in this strange new world, she found the Empress she had been searching so bitterly for!
“So she secretly followed us here!”
Learning that An Yao had tailed them the whole way, Meizhi and the others were instantly filled with righteous indignation.
For the four of them, as the Four Great Demon Generals of the Demon Realm, to have failed to notice they were being tailed by someone from the Immortal Race was a true dereliction of duty!
Lin Fan, on the other hand, was quite impressed with her. To dare to risk entering the void tunnel and follow them all by herself showed her loyalty.
“So then, the recent string of robberies... that was all you?”
Faced with Lin Fan's question, An Yao frowned and immediately retorted:
“What robbery? Don't mistake me for one of you from the Demon Race. I was commandeering!”
“For mere mortals to be of service to my Immortal Race is their great honor!”
Lin Fan and the others stared speechlessly at An Yao.
They of the Demon Race had always acted shamelessly enough, but they never expected the Immortal Race to be in no way their inferior.
How can she say such brazenly shameless things with such a righteous tone…
Nicely put, but isn't it still just robbery!
What a shameless person!
“Don't tell me... after you arrived in this world, you were starving, and that's why you went and robbed mortals?”
Her secret exposed by Lin Fan's words, An Yao's face instantly flushed red.
It was just as the Demon Sovereign said. After she arrived in this world, she discovered that the spiritual energy here was so thin as to be non-existent, and her own spiritual energy was constantly draining away.
In order to preserve what little spiritual energy she had, she, like Meizhi and the others, had no choice but to seal it.
At first, she didn't feel anything, but after a few days, she began to feel hungry.
As time went on, this feeling of hunger grew stronger and stronger, to the point that her body grew weak. When she walked on the streets, the smell of food from the roadside stalls would make her swallow her saliva uncontrollably.
She had no money from this world, so she tried to use her status as an Immortal Emperor to demand food from mortals, but she was unexpectedly treated like an idiot and thrown out…
If she were to starve to death on the streets before finding Her Majesty, she would not be able to rest in peace!
Helpless, she had no choice but to forcefully 'commandeer' things from mortals. Whether they were valuable or not, she just took them first and figured it out later.
“Yesterday, you robbed a friend of This One's in the underground garage. Could I trouble you to return his things?”
Lin Fan held out his hand to An Yao.
An Yao reluctantly took out a few dozen yuan from her clothes and placed it in his hand.
Lin Fan's brow furrowed slightly.
He knew from Zhou Yan that besides his phone and car keys, his wallet had also contained several hundred yuan in cash, all of which was taken.
Logically, An Yao should have had more than just this small amount.
An Yao's face flushed slightly as she said embarrassedly.
In order to face the Demon Sovereign at full strength tonight, the first thing she did after getting the money was go to a restaurant for a good meal, so she could face him in her 'fullest' state. That little bit of money was almost all spent in an instant.
“Then what about the phone and car keys?”
Lin Fan immediately asked.
The few hundred yuan was gone, and Zhou Yan probably wasn't too heartbroken over that small amount. The phone and car keys were the most important things.
“Phone and car keys?”
An Yao looked puzzled, having no idea what Lin Fan was talking about.
Seeing that An Yao didn't seem to recognize the words 'phone' and 'car keys,' Lin Fan took out his own phone and keys.
“It's this thing, and another thing that looks kind of , with a keychain on it.”
Seeing the phone and the key ring, An Yao instantly understood what Lin Fan was referring to.
“I sold both of those things.”
Lin Fan was shocked. “Where did you sell them? For how much?”
“I don't know. I just found a random mortal on the street and sold them. The two things together sold for… fifty yuan?”
An Yao thought back for a moment and even added a complaint:
“Those things aren't worth anything at all.”
After getting those two things, she had no idea what they were, so she just casually gave them to someone to sell.
Lin Fan and the others were so shocked they didn't know what to say.
A phone worth several thousand yuan and a car key... were bundled together and sold by her for fifty yuan...
This girl got completely ripped off and didn't even know it, and she's blaming the phone and car key for not being valuable.
If Zhou Yan were to find out, who knows what would be going through his mind…
