Chapter 2463 - 2153: What? Worried I’m No Match for Them?

After hearing Ji Yunmeng’s words, Lu Chen curiously asked, "What did the envoy say?"

Ji Yunmeng replied, "He asked us to hand over the method to enter the Ancient Ruins, or else the Great Zhou Dynasty would be destroyed."

Lu Chen said, "So arrogant? How many powerful forces did they send into the Border Wilderness?"

Ji Yunmeng said, "I don’t know, but based on the intelligence we got from the disciples at Sky Wolf Palace, there are many cracks in the prohibition at the Border Wilderness. In the future, more and more forces might send Heavenly Realm Spirit Martial Artists into the Border Wilderness."

At this point, Ji Yunmeng’s expression became heavy, and her spirits seemed a little low.

She used to think that as long as she broke through to the Heavenly Realm, she could control her own destiny.

But now it seems that for those forces outside, the Heavenly Realm is just a minor role.

Even though she had become a Heavenly Realm Spirit Warrior, she still could only rely on Lu Chen, having no chance against those external forces.

If it weren’t for Lu Chen, the Great Zhou Dynasty might have been annihilated long ago.

She increasingly doesn’t want to be this Emperor anymore.

Now she greatly envies Lu Chen, this damn man who only knows how to fool around with women all day, doesn’t need to worry about anything, and only helps out at critical moments, living a carefree life.

She’s already thinking about quickly raising her child and then passing the throne to her child, so she can, like Lu Chen, be a carefree shopkeeper and focus on enhancing her strength.

Lu Chen noticed Ji Yunmeng’s low spirits. He slowly walked to Ji Yunmeng’s back, wrapped his hand around her slender waist, rested his head on her shoulder, and with his face against her jade cheek, asked, "What? Worried that I’m not their match?"

Feeling Lu Chen’s hot chest pressed against her jade back, Ji Yunmeng turned her head to look out the window and said, "The prohibition shouldn’t hold for long. Even if you’re at the King Realm, when stronger forces from the Outer Domain enter this world, you’re still not their opponent."

Lu Chen said, "Why worry about such things? Didn’t I tell you? If that day really comes, I will take you all to escape from the Border Wilderness."

Ji Yunmeng fell silent and did not speak.

Lu Chen’s words sounded nice, but escaping is not that easy.

Seeing Ji Yunmeng not speaking, Lu Chen glanced at her state, and after realizing what worries Ji Yunmeng had, Lu Chen whispered in her ear, "Come, let me show you something."

With that, Lu Chen picked up Ji Yunmeng in a princess carry.

Ji Yunmeng, not reacting in time, quickly raised her jade arms to hug Lu Chen’s neck, preventing herself from falling backward.

At this moment, Lu Chen leaped out of the window directly, then flew to where Anhe County is located.

Next, he retrieved the Nine Heavens Mysterious Cloud Boat from the System Space.

When the Nine Heavens Mysterious Cloud Boat appeared in the sky, Ji Yunmeng, who was in Lu Chen’s arms, was stunned.

Being someone from the Border Wilderness, she had never seen such a large flying boat.

The most common mode of transportation in the Border Wilderness is the carriage, let alone a flying boat. They haven’t even seen such a big ship.

Seeing such a grand flying boat all of a sudden made Ji Yunmeng doubt whether she and Lu Chen were from the same world.

After a while, Ji Yunmeng came back to her senses. She looked at Lu Chen’s side profile and then asked, "What is this?"

Lu Chen replied, "A flying boat."

Ji Yunmeng continued to ask, "Are you really a Great Zhou person?"

Lu Chen laughed and said, "What kind of question is that?"

Ji Yunmeng went on, "This is not something that should exist in the Border Wilderness. Could it be a treasure you obtained from the Ancient Ruins?"

If this flying boat wasn’t originally owned by Lu Chen, then it is very likely that Lu Chen found it in the Ancient Ruins.

But she had also searched in the Ancient Ruins for a long time and didn’t find anything valuable there.

When the Ancient Ruins opened, she entered but did not find anything inside.

She went into the Ancient Ruins many times afterward, but each time, just like the first time, she gained nothing.

However, being inside the ruins felt very comfortable, and cultivating there made her progress faster.

Lu Chen said at this time, "This is called the Nine Heavens Mysterious Cloud Boat, capable of traveling ten thousand li a day. Such a large flying boat can completely hold most of the people in Zhen Nan Prince Manor."

Ji Yunmeng asked, "If we flee, what about the Great Zhou people?"

Lu Chen said with some surprise, "I didn’t expect you to be so responsible, but when it comes to the time when we have to use the Nine Heavens Mysterious Cloud Boat to escape, we can’t afford to worry about those commoners."

Lu Chen didn’t want to use the Nine Heavens Mysterious Cloud Boat either, as it consumes too much spiritual evil.

However, if that day truly comes when they need to escape, they would only take their closest ones with them.

As for the lives of the Great Zhou people, they wouldn’t be able to care.

Lu Chen believed that the orthodox forces in Central State would not indulge in a massacre, at least not openly.

Lu Chen then put away the Nine Heavens Mysterious Cloud Boat and flew back to the Imperial Study Room with Ji Yunmeng.

Even after returning to the Imperial Study Room, Ji Yunmeng remained in a state of shock.

Lu Chen, holding Ji Yunmeng, sat in the Dragon Throne in front of the Imperial Desk, letting Ji Yunmeng sit on his lap.

He then continued, "Now you should rest assured, right?"

Ji Yunmeng came back to her senses and said, "Even if you have a way to escape the Border Wilderness, you may not be able to avoid their pursuit."

Although Lu Chen’s flying boat is huge and could carry most people from the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, it is also very conspicuous.

Moreover, those from the Outer Domain might have methods to trace people. Where could they escape to?

At that time, there might be a situation where they flee somewhere, only to be traced there later.

Seeing Ji Yunmeng so pessimistic, Lu Chen didn’t know how to comfort her.

Lu Chen then said, "Alright, let’s not talk about that anymore. Let’s discuss the matter of the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty’s envoy."

Ji Yunmeng said, "What do you plan to do?"

Lu Chen said, "It’s simple, capture all those people and inquire about the situation in Central State."

Ji Yunmeng said, "I’ll summon that Great Yan envoy right away."

With that, Ji Yunmeng instructed the guard at the door, "Bring the Great Yan envoy to the Hall of Political Affairs."

The guard walked to the door, bowed, and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After the guard left, Ji Yunmeng thought about getting up from Lu Chen and heading to the Hall of Political Affairs.

But Lu Chen held her waist tightly, not letting her get up.

Ji Yunmeng turned to look at Lu Chen, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes.

Lu Chen said nothing, but once again picked Ji Yunmeng up in a princess carry and quickly went to the Hall of Political Affairs.

Arriving at the Hall of Political Affairs, he sat down on the Dragon Throne and leaned against it.

Ji Yunmeng pursed her lips, thinking this guy wasn’t seriously considering having her meet the Great Yan envoy like this, right?

Ji Yunmeng didn’t think much more about it. For Lu Chen’s overbearing nature, she was already used to it.

After all, Lu Chen was going to capture the people from the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, so it didn’t make much of a difference to meet the envoy like this.

After a while, the envoy sent by the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty entered the Hall of Political Affairs.

After entering, Wu Qi was about to ask Ji Yunmeng what she had decided, but he found that Ji Yunmeng was sitting on a man’s lap, and the man’s large hand was on Ji Yunmeng’s thigh. The two appeared to be quite intimate.

Wu Qi immediately furrowed his brow. He was, after all, an envoy sent by the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty, yet the people of the Border Wilderness here didn’t seem to respect him. In such a formal setting, they were hugging and holding like this.

Ji Yunmeng, after all, is supposed to be the Empress of the Great Zhou.
