Chapter 85 - 83: The Situation of the Empire
"Tukuru, you..." Just as the two were about to step onto the return teleportation formation, Lai Li suddenly grabbed Lu Hong, hesitating to speak.
"What’s wrong?"
"Who are you really?" Lai Li took a deep breath. Although she was blind, her soul’s perception was tightly focused on Lu Hong.
"Who am I? Your question is a bit odd." Lu Hong scratched his head, full of confusion.
"Are you a spy sent by the Beastman Empire!" Lai Li asked, ready for action. If Lu Hong showed the slightest hesitation, she was ready to kill him immediately to prevent any future threat.
"Is it because of the Lionheart bloodline?" Lu Hong also understood Lai Li’s concerns. The Lionheart bloodline alone was already something to be feared, and now he not only carried the Lionheart bloodline but also possessed the warrior’s supreme inheritance, which made his threat level skyrocket.
"Exactly, the Lionheart bloodline is too rare. I don’t believe that you would possess it for no reason. Clarify your identity!" said Lai Li, holding her gaze on the fluctuations of Lu Hong’s soul, an invisible cleaver already looming over his head.
"Would you believe me if I said I really don’t know where it comes from?" Lu Hong truly didn’t know the source of his bloodline. "Perhaps, it’s likely that my mother had an affair with someone from the Lionheart royal family."
Hearing Lu Hong’s explanation, Lai Li lowered her guard. Through the examination of the soul, Lai Li was well aware that Lu Hong wasn’t lying. Although the explanation was far-fetched, she believed it. "If you find out who your father is one day, would you betray the empire?"
"No, I am always human," Lu Hong said solemnly. "That will absolutely never change."
