Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

"Don't worry, I have a villa in the city, you can stay there."

"And then you go back to the palace?"

"That's right, don't run around, or you'll get caught by the army, and then it will be very difficult for me to get you out."

Listening to Xingyu's words, Qin Yu felt like he had fallen into his trap. This guy was quite cunning...

Chapter 417 Royal Meeting

Led by Xingyu, Qin Yu arrived at the Lin Yuan villa he had purchased in the main city. It was more like a small estate than a villa, as there were no other residents living around it.

This is a piece of land that the Starry Sky Royal Family acquired in the main city. If the next emperor succeeds to the throne, those of them who did not inherit the throne will have to live in this manor until they die.

"I've made all the arrangements, I'm leaving now." Xingyu strode away and returned to the palace, leaving Qin Yu in the manor staring blankly at dozens of servants.

"Lord Qin Yu, please."

The old butler in charge of managing the estate invited him in, and Qin Yu could only nod and follow them inside.

Inside the palace

The five members of the royal family were supposed to have a meeting, but they haven't started yet because the fifth prince was late.

"Where did Xingyu run off to again?"

"Who knows?"

"They must be looking for that meteorite that fell not long ago."

"If he doesn't come soon, we'll start now."

To be honest, the four princes and princesses were getting impatient; their younger brother was really quite immature.

"I'm here!" Xingyu rushed to the meeting venue without stopping. "Sorry to keep you all waiting."

"Alright, everyone's here, let's begin now." The eldest prince, who was at the head of the group, said solemnly, and Xingyu dared not show any more frivolous expression.

"His Majesty has received a request from the Ancestral State and has decided to send one of our royal family members to the Ancestral State at the end of the month to become the leader of those elves and help them win the war..."

"

"I go!"

Before the eldest prince could even finish speaking, Xingyu was the first to jump out and agree. The other four members of the royal family stared at Xingyu for a few seconds, each showing a different expression.

Some gloated, some looked helpless, some looked at him like he was an idiot, and some remained expressionless.

“Very good. Since Fifth Brother is so interested, we can end our meeting early. This will make up for your lateness.”

The eldest prince left first, as he, as the first in line to the throne, had many things to do.

The Third Prince patted Xingyu on the shoulder and left.

"Hey! Xingyu, do you know what you're doing!" The short-tempered fourth princess pinned Xingyu against the wall, looking like she was about to teach him a lesson, but her swaying silver twin ponytails added a touch of cuteness to the contrast.

"Fourth Sister, don't be angry. I've thought this through carefully!" Xingyu suddenly darted out from under the Fourth Princess's arm.

"Think it over carefully, do you mean you heard about the chance to go to the outside world and immediately agreed without hesitation?"

Although the Fourth Princess had a fierce temper, she still understood her younger brother very well, considering that she had bullied Xingyu since they were little.

"No! No! I just feel that this is the most suitable thing for me to do, because I have always wanted to go to the outside world, while my older brothers and sisters are all more outstanding than me and should stay in the Star Realm."

Xingyu explained with a smile. At this moment, the Second Princess, who had been silent on the side, stepped forward and said, "Xingyu, since you have made up your mind, I can't persuade you anymore. Once you leave the Star Realm, you will no longer be a member of the Star Realm's royal family, but we will always remember you."

"Yes, Second Sister, don't worry, I'm fine!"

The second princess also left, leaving only the fourth princess and Xingyu. The fourth princess was about to leave as well, but Xingyu stopped her.

"Fourth Sister, wait a moment."

When Xingyu called her, the Fourth Princess stopped and said impatiently, "Speak quickly if you have something to say!"

"I want to ask you a favor, Fourth Sister," Xingyu said in a low voice, looking mysterious.

"What's wrong? Why are you being so mysterious? You don't want me to do something bad for you, do you? Or have you gotten into some trouble?"

"Of course not! Fourth Sister, now that I'm late, aren't you curious about where I went?"

"Isn't it just about going to find the fallen meteorite?"

"Fourth Sister, you really care about me, you even know that..."

"..."

The fourth princess realized she had been exposed. Although she had a bad attitude towards her younger brother, she was the one among the royal family who cared about Xingyu the most.

"That's right, I went there and saw that the meteorite wasn't actually a meteorite at all, but rather a person from another world."

"An outsider?"

"Yes, yes, I've let him stay at my villa for the time being..."

"You want me to help you kill him?" the Fourth Princess blurted out.

"Of course not! Fourth Sister, don't be so extreme..."

Although Xingyu said this, he knew that the Fourth Princess could not kill Qin Yu at all, but he could not say it, because it would only arouse the Fourth Princess's competitive spirit, and then fighting would be inevitable.

"That person is so pitiful. I don't know why he came back here, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself about to fall..."

Xingyu first played the victim for Qin Yu.

"Stop playing the victim and get serious, what exactly do you want me to help you with!" The Fourth Princess was already getting impatient.

“It’s simple. There will be a selection of guards in a few days. I hope my sister can choose him. I’m leaving at the end of the month, and it’s not good for him to stay with me.”

"You want me to choose a bodyguard of unknown origin? Are you trying to kill my sister?"

"Of course not! My sister is so capable, how could she be killed? I just want you to take care of my friend for me."

"Hmph." The Fourth Princess crossed her arms and said in a disdainful tone, "It's not that it's impossible, but he must be outstanding enough, otherwise why should he be my guard?"

"Don't worry, sister, he won't let you down."

The fourth princess also left, and Xingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his plan was going smoothly. Next, he just needed to learn more about what was happening outside from Qin Yu.

He then quickly returned to his estate.

Qin Yu was still getting familiar with the manor. The astral plane of the old era was indeed far more powerful than that of later generations. Although times have progressed, this was only in terms of technology. Magic was a strange thing; it seemed that the older one got, the more powerful they became.

"I am back!"

Xingyu, who had just left, suddenly returned.

"You came back so quickly?"

"Of course, Qin Yu, you should thank me. I just found a princess who's willing to take you as her bodyguard!"

"what?"

Qin Yu was dumbfounded. He had only said it casually before, how could this guy have taken it seriously?

"She is my fourth sister. She is very beautiful and cute, but she is a bit fierce towards me. However, she actually loves me very much, but she expresses it in a somewhat unconventional way."

"I think the kind of girl you're talking about would be very troublesome to get along with, so I'd better forget about it."

"No! Qin Yu, you know I begged Fourth Sister for a long time before she agreed! You can't let my efforts go to waste!"

Qin Yu found Xingyu a bit troublesome, but he wanted to stay here.

His strength is essential for survival. If he can make contact with more members of the royal family, he can obtain more intelligence and might even be able to change the history of the old era star realm...

Chapter 418 Acquaintances from the Old Era

With the selection of guards fast approaching, Xingyu sought out Qin Yu in advance to assess his abilities, directly summoning the captain of the Star Guard from the Imperial Palace.

"Your Highness, I have important matters to attend to and cannot stay any longer."

The captain brought in from the north was somewhat reluctant; he had a lot on his plate, and coming out for a short while would mean a lot more trouble when he returned.

"It's alright, I'll just help you with the tasks." Xingyu wanted his captain to focus on fighting Qin Yu, and he would handle everything else.

"This……"

The captain really wanted to say, "Come on, asking Xingyu to help you is probably just making things worse."

"Alright, we're here, Qin Yu!"

Xingyu shouted and waved to Qin Yu. After living here for a few days, Qin Yu had gotten used to life here. However, the food in the Star Realm was still so strange. It didn't taste like much, but it was surprisingly satisfying.

“I’ve arranged for someone to practice with you. He’s one of the captains of the palace guard. If you can defeat him, becoming a guard will definitely not be a problem.”

Qin Yu glanced at the captain; his strength was around the eighth rank. It seemed there was a reason why the Old Era Star Boundary was so powerful.

The three found an open space and prepared to spar and exchange ideas, while Xingyu watched from the sidelines.

"There's no other way, please advise." The captain took out his bright silver spear, a weapon made of meteorite iron.

"Yes, please advise."

Qin Yu did not use any weapons, which made the captain hesitate for a moment.

"Are you a magician?"

"No, it's just that I don't have any weapons on me, but that's alright, you can make your move."

Qin Yu has lost all sense of justice. His greatest reliance now is the Titan King's armor, but he doesn't need to use such powerful equipment to deal with this captain; normal combat will suffice.

The captain felt that Qin Yu had seen through him, so he decided to teach Qin Yu a lesson.

The figure vanished instantly, and the captain used Flash Thrust to rush directly at Qin Yu. The attack range of the long-handled weapon was indeed wider. Qin Yu dodged to the side and flicked it away with his finger.

The captain didn't stop and continued swinging his spear, giving Qin Yu no chance to react. Three spear shadows flew towards Qin Yu.

Qin Yu made a sword-wielding gesture, as if wielding air, and shattered the three spear shadows coming towards him.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Seeing this, Xingyu felt it was very cool and impressive, while the captain's expression also became serious.

I initially thought this guy was just putting on an act, but his move of gathering energy into a blade just now was enough to prove his strength.

"I remember now, the Star Sword Saint seems to have used this move before!" Xingyu suddenly shouted.
