Chapter 399: Jerk Su Yu? Gathering Food
Chapter 399: Jerk Su Yu? Gathering Food
It’s Kesheng! Kesheng is back!
Clang.
Alyssa’s crown fell to the ground, but she didn’t bother to pick it up. In the next moment, she was already in front of Su Yu, throwing herself into his arms like a fledgling bird returning to its nest, nearly knocking him off balance.
"Kesheng, you’re finally back! It’s been four months, and I thought you might never return!" Alyssa clung to Su Yu, her eyes red and her small fists lightly pounding his chest.
"I’m back, aren’t I?" Su Yu held her trembling body, gently patting her back.
But in a daze, he suddenly felt like he had said this before somewhere.
Oh, right, he had said the same thing to Xiaotian.
"Am I really a jerk?" Su Yu fell into deep self-doubt.
...
Morningstar, perched on Su Yu’s shoulder, watched the scene with a contented smile. If they could always be like this, as a family of three, how wonderful would that be?
The surrounding ministers also smiled with relief at Alyssa’s actions.
The Empress is now 16 years old, the age for marriage and producing an heir. And she has never given any other young man a second glance except for Kesheng.
Now that Kesheng has returned safely, they should urge them to get married soon.
At the back of the ministerial line stood another player, the only one present besides Su Yu. He was the leader of the Mu Yun Guild, known as Cloud Shepherd.
As the commander of the frontline player forces, Cloud Shepherd had the honor of entering the palace today to report the battle situation to the Empress.
Seeing Alyssa and Su Yu so intimate, he quietly recorded the scene, planning to post it on the official forums later to make other male players envious.
Alyssa held Su Yu tightly, with so much to say to him.
But she knew the court wasn’t the place for such conversations, so she pulled Su Yu toward the back of the palace.
"At this point, let’s adjourn the meeting. We can discuss the rest tomorrow. Dismissed!"
"Very well, Your Majesty!" The ministers exchanged knowing glances and turned to leave the hall.
Could it be that in ten months, the Golden Sparrow Prince will be born?
Kerri Draydi, however, wasn’t very good at reading the room.
She voiced her concerns loudly, "Your Majesty, even if you order General Agonzo to halt the march, the army still needs to eat and drink, right? This is a matter of utmost urgency; we can’t afford to delay even a single day. Every day we wait could mean the loss of many lives!"
She glanced at Su Yu and let out a light, cold snort. "I hope, Your Majesty, that you don’t get distracted by male charm and prioritize the important matters at hand."
Kerri actually had a very poor impression of Su Yu.
In her view, Su Yu was the epitome of a jerk.
Initially, Su Yu had been getting along with Tiana Garcia, showing signs of becoming more than friends.
Later, Su Yu abandoned his "first wife" Tiana for the Empress, even driving her out of the country (though she didn’t know Tiana had left on her own accord).
So Kerri didn’t look favorably upon Su Yu.
Hearing Kerri’s words, Su Yu’s lips twitched involuntarily.
What the heck is "distracted by male charm"!
However, regarding the food shortage issue Kerri mentioned, Su Yu felt it was necessary to inquire further.
"Food? Is there a shortage of supplies for the army?" Su Yu looked at Kerri.
"That’s right. The frontline soldiers are already going hungry, and it won’t be long before the food runs out," Kerri didn’t hide anything, recounting the matters discussed during the meeting.
The surrounding ministers also didn’t rush to leave, standing in place to hear if Su Yu had any solutions.
After listening to Kelly's description, Su Yu suddenly laughed.
"Hey! That's it?" He patted his chest confidently. "Don't worry, I'll take care of the food. Let the soldiers eat their fill. Before the supplies run out, I'll bring enough food to the front lines!"
"Are you serious?" Kelly crossed her arms, looking disbelieving.
They had been discussing this for days with all the ministers and generals, and they hadn't come up with any solutions. How could Su Yu have a solution?
You can't just bring food from another world, can you? It seemed that not only was he a scoundrel, but now he was also full of hot air.
Alyssa, however, didn't doubt Su Yu for a moment. She firmly believed that he wouldn't lie to her.
"Counterstar, where do you plan to get the food from?" Alyssa looked at him with a smile.
"That's classified. I can't say it here," Su Yu said with a serious expression. "But I can guarantee that there will be plenty of food. I'll have enough supplies to the front lines within half a month."
"Great." Alyssa stood on her tiptoes and lightly kissed Su Yu's right cheek. "Thank you on behalf of the suffering people of the Western Continent!"
At that moment, Su Yu received a game notification:
"Ding! Triggered Rare Hidden Quest: [Collect Food]."
"Quest Description: The Golden Sparrow Empire's army is severely short on food and needs a large supply of provisions."
"Quest Requirements: Gather enough food to supply the front-line camp, ensuring the army doesn't suffer delays due to food shortages. Do not rob civilians. Current Progress: 0%. Countdown: 23:59:58."
"Quest Reward: Random reward based on completion."
"Quest Failure Penalty: World Reputation -5, [Golden Sparrow Empire Reputation] drops one level, [Alyssa the Empress] Goodwill -5."
Seeing Alyssa kiss Su Yu, the ministers around them immediately started coughing loudly, as if reminding her that they were still watching.
Yun Zhongmudi, standing at the back of the crowd, was amazed. He needed to send this video to Sky Dragon right away.
Alyssa's face turned slightly red after kissing Su Yu.
She took his hand. "Come, let's go to the garden and talk more."
She led Su Yu out of the hall.
...
As Alyssa and Su Yu left, the ministers naturally dispersed, returning to their respective duties. This included the still worried Kelly and the smirking Yun Zhongmudi.
Su Yu was pulled by Alyssa to the garden behind the hall.
In the garden, the two of them and the cat, Morning Star, sat on the same swing they had used before, chatting about Su Yu's adventures on Skrull.
Although Alyssa had already heard about Su Yu's deeds on Skrull from Morning Star, she didn't find it tedious to hear him tell it again, smiling as she listened, nestled in his arm.
After Su Yu finished all his stories, she sighed softly, looking at his face. "From your description, Skrull is indeed a far more advanced civilization than ours. Counterstar, your future tasks will be heavy!"
"I know that." Su Yu nodded.
"Is there anything you need help with?" Alyssa brushed a loose strand of hair from her shoulder.
"Yes," Su Yu said seriously. "Give me and the people of our world more tasks. This will speed up our growth. Of course, these tasks don't have to be too one-sided. Mutual benefits would be ideal."
"Alright." Alyssa leaned against Su Yu's arm. "After the war, I'll implement policies to encourage this. You can count on it!"
