Bravely enter the heavens and become a god

Chapter 172: First Encounter with the 9th God of Wealth

The soldier's neck was tightly strangled by him, and he could hardly breathe. Seeing this, General You rushed forward to dissuade him: "Your Highness, calm down! You will strangle him to death!"

Hua Yuchen finally woke up from his dream and realized that he had lost control. He let go of her hand and asked hurriedly, "Tell me!"

The soldier took a deep breath and uttered a few words with difficulty: "General Shi...died in action!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Yuchen and General You turned pale as paper, as if a fish bone had stuck in their throats, and they were unable to speak. Hua Yuchen's hand loosened unconsciously, and he stood there in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time. General You burst into tears and asked in grief: "How could this happen... I saw him fine a few days ago, how could he suddenly die in battle?"

General You asked anxiously: "Which general is seriously injured?"

The soldier replied in a trembling voice: "Yes...it's the Wind Guard."

Upon hearing the news, Hua Yuchen felt his legs go weak and he almost lost his balance. Seeing this, General You hurried forward to support him.

General You continued to ask: "What about Marshal Luo's situation?"

The soldier lowered his voice and answered carefully: "She...she is injured too!"

Hua Yuchen's emotions boiled to the extreme in an instant. He rushed forward uncontrollably, tightly grasping the soldier's collar with both hands, his eyes flashing with anger, and asked: "How did you protect her? How did you let her get hurt?"

Seeing this, General You immediately stepped forward and forcibly separated Hua Yuchen from the soldier, then winked at the soldier, signaling him to leave first. However, the soldier seemed to have something to say, and showed hesitation on his face, and he dared not leave.

General You took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, then turned to Hua Yuchen and said in a gentle voice, "Your Highness, calm down! Calm down! This is probably their first battle with the beast. They are not familiar with its habits and suffered a very serious attack, which led to such a tragic result!"

After hearing what General You said, Hua Yuchen's eyes flashed with disappointment and worry. He said absentmindedly, "He fought desperately to protect her, but he was still injured. This shows that the danger this time is extraordinary! Her life must have been in danger! Otherwise, with Guard Feng's cultivation, it is impossible for him to be so seriously injured! No, I have to go see her immediately!"

After saying that, Hua Yuchen turned around and was about to rush out. Seeing this, General You immediately stepped forward to hug him, tightly holding his arms, and persuaded him: "Your Highness, calm down! Even if you rush over now, it will take at least two days to arrive. The round trip will take at least four days. Moreover, if the demon army counterattacks us during this period, the army will be leaderless and will become a mess. They will disintegrate in a minute. Your Highness, you are the pillar of the entire army, you can't leave easily!"

All the generals knelt down upon seeing this and said in unison: "Your Highness, please think twice! Consider the overall situation!"

The soldier said tremblingly: "Your Highness, I have something else to report."

Hua Yuchen recovered and continued to ask: "Hurry up and tell me!"

The soldier trembled and said, "Marshal Luo is no longer in Shili Bahuang, so Your Highness, you won't be able to see her even if you rush over!"

Hua Yuchen asked in surprise: "Why?"

The soldier replied, "Marshal Luo has returned to Heaven to borrow magic weapons to deal with Taotie!"

Upon hearing this, General You hurriedly comforted him, saying, "Your Highness, Marshal Luo returned to Heaven to explain two things!"

Hua Yuchen asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

General You continued, "First, it means that Marshal Luo's injury is not serious, or that she has recovered! Second, since she has returned to the Heavenly Palace to borrow the magic weapon, she is very safe at least for the next few days, so Your Highness does not need to worry."

Hua Yuchen recalled the self-healing technique he had taught her, and couldn't help but feel relieved. Seeing that Hua Yuchen's emotions had calmed down a little, General You took the opportunity to suggest: "Your Highness, why don't you take advantage of these few days to seize the time and concentrate on forcing the demon army to the wilderness. In this way, you can always be by Marshal Luo's side!"

Hua Yuchen frowned, took a long breath, and said helplessly: "This is the only way! Otherwise, I will be even more worried when she comes back to fight the beast!"

Two days later, Luo Ying calmly stepped into the Lugui Palace in the Heavenly Palace. The attendants beside her whispered that her arrival seemed to bring a breeze to this quiet palace. Luo Ying slowly walked to the front of the main hall of Lugui Palace. As far as her eyes could see, a man was standing quietly in the center of the main hall with his back to her.

The man was wearing a gorgeous robe, with white and gold colors intertwined, just like the sun and the moon shining together, dazzling. The texture of the robe was delicate and soft, and every pattern seemed to contain the essence of heaven and earth, flashing with dazzling brilliance. Under the sunlight, his figure seemed to be coated with a layer of golden halo.

The intricate and exquisite golden embroidery on his white robe was like stars embellishing the night sky. The pure gold hollow decorations on his shoulders sparkled, highlighting his tall and straight figure, like a towering mountain, standing tall and unshakable.

The attendant reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, Marshal Luo has arrived!"

When Emperor Lu Guihuang heard this, he turned around. His face was extraordinarily handsome, as if it had been carefully carved by a god, with every line smooth and perfect.

A crown of pure gold was tied on his head, shining like bright sunlight. His hair was waist-length, flowing and agile, swaying gently with his movements, flowing and agile, graceful and elegant. His eyes were raised high, and his eyebrows revealed a kind of arrogance and confidence, as if nothing in the world could shake his heart. Every movement of his seemed so calm, elegant and noble, as if he was a king who controlled everything in the world, making people fall in love with him.

Emperor Lu Guihuang's eyes stopped at Luo Ying, and he was deeply attracted by her heroic battle robe. He couldn't help but admire her and said, "Oh! Are you the female marshal who has become famous in our heaven recently?"

Hearing this, Luo Ying clasped his hands together and bowed, with a humble and polite smile on his face: "Thank you for the compliment! It's just an empty title!"

For this always flattered and arrogant chief steward of the Nine Gods of Wealth, he usually comes into contact with flattering and hypocritical people. Luo Ying's sincere and humble attitude is undoubtedly a breath of fresh air, refreshing him. He immediately developed a strong interest in this female marshal and wanted to get to know her better.

Lu Guihuang walked slowly towards her, circled around her, his eyes lingered on her, and looked at her carefully. His gaze made her feel a little uncomfortable, as if she was locked tightly by an invisible force. However, when he smiled, his smile was like a spring breeze blowing through the flowers, gentle and full of charm, instantly dissolving the restraint and uneasiness in her heart. That smile seemed to have magic, which attracted people involuntarily and made them intoxicated.

The corners of his lips slightly raised, and his eyes sparkled with a warm light, as if it could melt all the coldness and hardness in the world. That smile was like the sun shining on the earth, warm and bright, making people intoxicated.

Lu Guihuang stared at Luo Ying, a smile appeared on his lips, and there was a hint of surprise in his voice: "I didn't expect that there is a woman with such a good temperament like you in our heaven. How come I didn't discover it before?"

Hearing this, Luo Ying lowered his head slightly and coughed lightly, as if to remind him to pay attention to the current situation. He immediately retracted his thoughts, restored his usual arrogant attitude, and asked calmly: "Marshal Luo, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Luo Ying put his hands together and bowed slightly, showing a rare politeness and humility: "I want to borrow something from you!"

Lu Guihuang raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "Oh? I actually have what Marshal Luo needs? This is a bit surprising to me."

Luo Ying described in detail the ins and outs of the battle with Taotie, as well as the causes and consequences of the fierce battle with Taotie. After listening to it, he was deeply shocked by Luo Ying's intelligence and decisiveness. He couldn't hide his amazement and almost blurted out: "I didn't expect that you, a woman, could be so meticulous. You are indeed a unique woman, interesting!"

Luo Ying raised her head slightly and met his gaze unexpectedly. At that moment, she clearly caught the indescribable admiration in his eyes. The two people's eyes met in the air, as if stirring up layers of ripples, causing an inexplicable throbbing in Lu Guihuang's heart. Luo Ying immediately noticed this, and she hurriedly avoided his fiery gaze and continued to say firmly: "I hope you can help me!"

Lu Guihuang slowly approached her, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, and asked, "Why should I help you?"

Luo Ying answered sincerely, "I was ordered by the Emperor of Heaven to go to the Ten Miles and Eight Wastelands to seize the Ten Great Artifacts, not only for the benefit of the people of the world and to avoid catastrophes in the world, but also for the stability of the Heavenly Court. To put it simply, it is also to help the immortals in the Heavenly Court to obtain a more stable working and living environment!"

After hearing her words, Lu Guihuang couldn't help but move a little closer to her and said in a low voice: "Your reason is hard for me to refuse." There was a hint of teasing in his voice, but it also revealed a bit of seriousness.
