Chapter 289: A Report to the Empress
After our long discussion with the warriors and the kidnapped nobles about our situation, we started devising the next part of our plan.
Now that we had Yushan Wu with us, the food supply of the nobles would be shortened. However, we wanted to stop it completely, so we had to come up with a plan to kidnap Wu’s father.
We needed to go to the capital, which was much further away than Xiulan and Liren, meaning that we wouldn’t be able to teleport to Yuandu straight from there.
However, we had our magic quartz with us, which would allow us to return as long as we had it all prepared.
The following day, we woke up a bit late since Melina and I were regaining all the hours of sleep we lost during our time in Xiulan.
We were staying in a small shack that we built ourselves since we didn’t want to take up a lot of space from the villagers, and we were so tired that we both fell asleep as soon as our bodies made contact with the soft fabric that Vespera left for us.
When I opened my eyes in the morning, I found Melina’s face less than 5 centimeters away from mine, making me blush for a moment before cuddling for a few more minutes.
Our next destination was the capital city of Guanghua, which, apparently, was the largest city in the world.
It was located to the east of Guanghua, and we were pretty far west, so it would take us one or two days to get there by flying.
Since Vespera, Nessa, and the two maids had been seen during their rampage in the town of Liren, we decided they would stay in Yuandu for some time.
"Once we arrive at the capital and find a good spot, we’ll place the magic quartz there..." I explained.
