Chapter 1133: My Empire
Chapter 1133: My Empire
October 5th, 2017
Youzhou, Youbeiping Prefecture.
As Liu Yu turned around, Lu HaiKong and he formally met face-to-face.
When Lu HaiKong first caught a glimpse of Liu Yu's profile, he thought of him as just an ordinary old farmer. However, this initial impression was immediately altered upon their first proper encounter.
It was Liu Yu's eyes that truly changed Lu HaiKong's perception of him.
They say the eyes are the window to the soul, but this saying can be misleading at times. While it may be difficult to understand a person's inner thoughts through this window, there are moments when it reveals the truth. Sometimes, a person's eyes alone can tell you who they are.
Through their eyes, you can pierce through the layers of mist surrounding them and truly see their heart.
Before this, Lu HaiKong's impression of Liu Yu was that of a stubborn, old-fashioned, and perhaps slightly weak, but potentially kind-hearted old man.
However, that image had now crumbled, and a new one emerged.
In Liu Yu's eyes, Lu HaiKong could discern a hint of guilt that he couldn't hide, along with a resilience forged through the trials of life.
Whether it was Lu HaiKong's intuition or the old man's Celestial Eye Technique, he seemed to understand Liu Yu's heart just by looking into his eyes, comprehending the emotions the old man had experienced recently.
On the other side, after spotting Lu HaiKong and finishing his work, Liu Yu strode towards him.
This tall and thin old man, who appeared as if a gentle breeze could blow him away, walked with urgency. Yet, his very presence exuded an aura that caused those in his path to instinctively make way.
When Liu Yu reached Lu HaiKong, he looked him straight in the eye and asked with conviction, "Are you Lu HaiKong?"
"Yes, it's me," Lu HaiKong replied, nodding slightly as he met the old man's gaze.
"Have you truly expelled all those transdimensional demons?" Liu Yu inquired further.
It was evident that Liu Yu's question wasn't as casual as before; his frail body trembled slightly, and his eyes shone with anticipation. Despite having confirmed this news through various channels, he couldn't help but seek reassurance from Lu HaiKong once more.
"Yes!" Lu HaiKong responded firmly, meeting the expectant gaze of the old man.
Hearing Lu HaiKong's answer, Liu Yu's trembling ceased, and a smile appeared on his aged face. "Good, very good! You've done an excellent job!"
Lu HaiKong frowned at Liu Yu's praise, which carried a tone of an elder's approval. However, seeing the old man's aged appearance, he chose to remain silent. Nonetheless, Liu Yu's behavior puzzled Lu HaiKong.
Initially, when Liu Yu received confirmation from Lu HaiKong, he was genuinely delighted, and his smile was sincere. But soon, a noticeable melancholy crept into his expression.
In truth, the events in Liaoxi Prefecture had deeply affected Liu Yu. Although he had quickly recovered and taken action after the incident, it was in response to the threat posed by the transdimensional demons.
From that point on, his life had undergone a significant transformation, and he was prepared to dedicate his entire existence to combating these otherworldly invaders.
Little did he know that not long after he established his grand vision, the transdimensional demons would be defeated by Lu HaiKong.
While Liu Yu was genuinely pleased that Lu HaiKong had defeated the transdimensional demons, he also felt a sense of emptiness. Suddenly, it was as if he had lost his sense of purpose.
'Oh well, after dealing with these refugee matters, I shall retire!'
Looking up at Lu HaiKong, Liu Yu made this decision in an instant, and as he did, he felt a sense of relief.
Liu Yu knew that with this decision, Youzhou would essentially belong to Lu HaiKong, but at this moment, he had no objections.
The current Liu Yu was no longer the same person who had flown into a rage upon hearing that Lu HaiKong wanted to marry the Third Princess. The transdimensional invasion and the fall of Liaoxi Prefecture had completely changed him.
Although only half a month had passed, Liu Yu's energy and enthusiasm had been nearly exhausted. He now felt a sense of clarity and acceptance regarding Lu HaiKong's identity, but at the same time, he also felt a sense of helpless resignation. He believed that he could no longer manage everything and lacked the strength to do so.
Having lost the belief in resisting the transdimensional demons, Liu Yu became completely disheartened. And since Lu HaiKong had saved Youzhou, wasn't it reasonable for him to hand over Youzhou to Lu HaiKong?
In this state of mind, Liu Yu looked up at Lu HaiKong and said, "Lord Lu, I am old..."
"I'm sorry, but there's something I need to clarify with you!"
Just as Liu Yu opened his mouth, Lu HaiKong interrupted him.
In the 1619th chapter of the novel, it was clearly stated!
At this moment, Lu HaiKong looked straight into Liu Yu's eyes, as if he had seen through Liu Yu's thoughts in that instant. If Lu HaiKong's goal was to target Youzhou, it would be in his best interest to quietly listen to Liu Yu and peacefully take over Youzhou from him. However, Lu HaiKong had set his sights on Liu Yu himself.
He wanted Youzhou, and he wanted Liu Yu!
So, as Liu Yu began to speak, Lu HaiKong interrupted him, and amidst Liu Yu's confused gaze, he continued, "Those so-called transdimensional demons we dealt with were merely the vanguard. Although we successfully repelled them, we will undoubtedly face them again in the future, and next time, they won't be so easily defeated.
Therefore, I need your help!"
Liu Yu was stunned by these words, and for a long while, he remained silent. However, his eyes gradually revealed a shift in emotions.
It was an emotion that was difficult to pinpoint, whether it was fear or joy, only Liu Yu knew.
After a moment, Liu Yu snapped out of his shock and looked up at Lu HaiKong, asking, "Help you? How can I help you?"
"Help me conquer the world, restore order to the land, and fight against the transdimensional demons!"
"Restore order to whose land?" Liu Yu asked again.
The question was sharp, but Lu HaiKong did not shy away from it. With unparalleled dominance, he replied, "Of course, it's my land!"
Coincidentally, as Lu HaiKong spoke these words, a system prompt sounded in his ear...
