Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

The afterimage's attack was both real and feinted, but only one sword strike was real. Qin Yu's sword was already at the Eternal Queen's neck. Hikari arrived and the Flame Deer pretended to help, just to show the elders who were arriving one after another.

"So, the defenses of your ideal world aren't very good, the Queen isn't very good, and the elders are even worse..."

Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, the elders' faces turned extremely grim. How could they have imagined that Qin Yu could infiltrate the Ideal Land so silently, assassinate an elder, and even take the Eternal Queen hostage?

"Now, can I state my conditions?"

The laws of nature are already threatening the Eternal Queen's life. These elders can all see how terrifying the weapon in Qin Yu's hand is. No wonder this guy could fight the Night Sword Saint to a draw; it's unimaginable.

"If you release the Queen first, we can discuss the other conditions separately!"

Although Gadreel wanted to sideline the Queen, the Queen, this mascot, couldn't be allowed to fall into danger, otherwise the very foundation of Utopia would be shaken.

"Are you dreaming? I want to talk now, immediately! Right now!" With that, the Heavenly Principle in his hand became even more aggressive.

Hikari stood by, calmly helping Qin Yu keep an eye on his surroundings. The presence of the Flame Deer also deterred the elders from making any rash moves.

"Alright, what are the conditions..." There was no other way but to start negotiating conditions now. And Gadreel secretly ordered the troops outside to stop the onlookers, otherwise if word got out about what happened today, his reputation would be ruined.

"My friend almost lost her life here last time she came to Utopia, trying to save her friend. Is that true?"

"..."

The elders remained silent for a moment.

"Hmm?" Qin Yu was already ready to challenge the laws of nature.

“No, no…” Several elders quickly affirmed what Qin Yu had just said.

"I'm here to help my friend get revenge. The elder and the elf who caused the trouble are both dead. Now there's just one last thing to do..."

"You must restore my friend's status and issue a public apology to my friend in Utopia, acknowledging your crimes!"

Qin Yu's conditions seemed simple: apologize for his mistake and that would be the end of it. However, the Eternal Queen knew these elders very well. Making them admit their mistakes, especially to all the elves of Utopia, was less desirable than killing them.

As expected, as soon as the condition was stated, the elders looked at each other, clearly unwilling to agree.

"If it's just about restoring your friend's reputation, we can agree, but what comes after..."

Before Gardell could finish speaking, Qin Yu interrupted him.

"Apologizing for making mistakes is a matter of course. Are you old folks so used to being high and mighty that you can't even lower your heads? You're not even as good as a three-year-old child..."

Qin Yu was trying his best to anger the elders with his words. Gadreel clenched his fists. He wanted to kill Qin Yu right now, but the Queen was still in his hands, and the Flame-Treading Deer beside him was not so easy to deal with either.

"Fine, making you apologize is as unpleasant as swallowing a fly. There's nothing to talk about then. I won't harm your queen, but you can take her away. Come back to me when you've thought things through..."

After saying that, Qin Yu and Hikari were about to leave with the Eternal Queen when Gadriel and the others tried to stop them. Just then, a golden light flew over.

"Hikari, keep an eye on her..." Qin Yu handed the Eternal Queen over to Hikari to guard. With the Flame Deer around, it wouldn't be a problem.

Clang! Bang!

Golden light clashed with the laws of nature, and the Golden Sword Saint revealed his true form, the two swords rubbing against each other in mid-air.

"You will not be allowed to take Her Majesty the Empress away!"

Wow!

The sword shadows flickered, causing the entire palace to shimmer, creating a visual illusion that prevented most of the elders from seeing the battle clearly, allowing them to only hear the clash of swords.

"Hikkari, take the Empress and leave first. I'll handle him!"

"Yes!"

Led by the Flame Deer, Hikari carried the Eternal Queen and quickly retreated. The elders tried to give chase, but Qin Yu stopped them.

Where do you want to go?

The divine justice shone brightly, and Qin Yu's attack locked onto them...

Chapter 252 The Everlasting Garden

Inside the hall, the sword shadows of Heavenly Principle and the golden sword shadows collided, causing the space to tremble, forcing the elders to defend against the impact.

Gadreel watched helplessly as the Eternal Queen was taken away, which should have been a bad thing, but after the Eternal Queen disappeared, he felt it was a good thing.

"Elder, what should we do?"

The other elders exchanged bewildered glances. The Golden Sword Saint had already given chase, leaving them behind.

"Keep the news under wraps; we must not let anyone else know that the Empress has been abducted."

"Yes!"

Gardell's mind raced. Now that the Eternal Queen had been taken away, he could accelerate his control of Utopia without restraint. However, the Eternal Queen absolutely could not be harmed by that human, or all his efforts would be in vain.

After a chase, Qin Yu and the Golden Sword Saint left Utopia, where Hikari and the others were already waiting at the agreed-upon location.

"Phew, what a farce."

......"

Qin Yu realized that there were quite a few traitors in the Ideal Country, and that the elders in the Senate harbored ulterior motives and were deserving of punishment.

"You've worked hard..." After finishing the performance, the Golden Sword Saint patted Qin Yu on the shoulder and then walked towards the Eternal Queen.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry to have to make you suffer outside for a while."

"It's alright, Jinye. If anything happens in Utopia, be sure to inform me first, so as not to alert the enemy."

"Yes."

The Golden Sword Saint stood up. He couldn't stay away for too long, so he prepared to return. Before leaving, he asked Qin Yu to take good care of the Eternal Empress.

Now that the Eternal Queen has left Utopia, how to settle her is another problem. But since the Eternal Queen decided to run away, she must have already chosen a place to settle her, right?

"Your Majesty, where do you intend to go?"

"Of course, we'll go to your territory, Night Sword Saint."

"what?"

That's not impossible, but Qin Yu couldn't help but think about the bet he made with Luna...

"Does the Night Sword Saint not welcome me?"

The Eternal Queen placed her hand on her chest, revealing a disappointed expression.

"No, it's just that if I take you back, I might be in danger..."

Bringing Peggy back was troublesome enough, and now if the Eternal Queen is brought back as well, Luna might use it as an excuse to cause trouble again. To be on the safe side, Qin Yu plans to leave the Eternal Queen in the Crimson Moon Territory and have the Winter Empress look after her.

Only now has Qin Yu realized that there are more and more powerful people around him, and how to balance the relationships between them is another difficult process.

Within the Crimson Moon Territory

When Empress Atia of the Winter Kingdom saw that Qin Yu had brought over a woman who was in no way inferior to herself and even more beautiful, she couldn't help but feel jealous. Women shouldn't even think about being jealous.

"Atiya, could you look after the Eternal Queen for me for a while?"

Qin Yu and Atia's relationship was neither good nor bad; they were business partners. "Of course, don't tell anyone else, especially Luna and Xiaoxue..."

Since Atia took control of the Crimson Moon Territory, Luna and the others have visited less often, so this situation is actually a good thing.

"Human, are you trying to keep a mistress in a gilded cage?"

The Winter Empress and the Eternal Empress are very close in strength, so she regards the Eternal Empress as her rival.

As for the Eternal Queen, she was also surprised by the Winter Empress's current strength. She didn't expect that there would be such a powerful person in the main world, and that she would even obey Qin Yu.

"Say whatever you want, please."

In order to prevent Luna from talking nonsense when they returned, Qin Yu had no choice but to ask the Winter Empress for this favor. The Winter Empress naturally could not refuse, so she kept the Eternal Empress.

Then Qin Yu and the others returned to the Snow Feather Guild. As soon as they got back, Luna immediately started attacking at close range.

"Hey, Xiaoyu, you're back~"

Luna's current state is as if she has discovered that Qin Yu has done something wrong.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Qin Yu was trying to keep himself calm. Only Hikari and Nanaf had already run away; it was no longer their business.

Luna's hand was already reaching for Qin Yu's chest. "Although you're trying your best to hide it, you can't fool me..."

"..."

"You have the scent of an elf on you. You must have come into contact with a beautiful elf, right?"

"Hikari and Nunnaf are elves..."

Qin Yu could only respond guiltily.

"No, this aura isn't that of a forest elf or a fairy, but rather the aura of a high elf..."

Luna had an expression that said she knew everything.

"Did you peek at the script?" Qin Yu now felt that Luna must know something and was pretending to ask a question she already knew the answer to.

"Hmph, Eternal Queen, Xiaoyu, you're amazing! You even brought back the master of Utopia!"

As expected, Luna knew everything. It was a miscalculation, Qin Yu admitted.

"Fine, I've lost. I'm too lazy to argue anymore..."

Qin Yu simply lay down and let himself be mocked.

"Hahaha!!" Luna could finally laugh heartily with her hands on her hips and feel triumphant. "I'll let it slide today, but you'll have to listen to me obediently all day tomorrow!"

Luna was beaming with joy, and Qin Yu could only shut himself up for a while.

Since hiding it is pointless, let's just have the Eternal Queen come to the Snowfeather Guild.

Melu and the little fairies sensed the Eternal Queen's presence and rushed over. "Your Majesty, what brings you here?"

The little fairies whispered among themselves. Just moments ago, Nana was showing off her golden wings to them, and Melu's face twisted with jealousy.

Now that the Eternal Queen is here, they naturally want to qualify as Eternal Handmaids as well.

The Eternal Queen calmed the little fairies, telling them to be patient and that becoming an Eternal Maid wasn't something one could simply do on a whim...

Anyway, he said a lot of things to make these little devils temporarily give up on the idea.

"By the way, Your Majesty, I have something else I need your help with..."

Qin Yu suddenly remembered that if the Eternal Queen were here, could he ask her for help with the advancement fruits in the plantation?
