Chapter 924 (Acting Must Be in Place)
The Death Mage continuously cast large-scale explosion magic, causing the surroundings to be charred and tender. The civilians in the village were trembling in fear. It was too terrifying; these two undead beings were unexpectedly enemies, completely overturning their perception of the undead.
Gradually, the explosions ceased.
Everyone became tense, eager to know who had won. Hopefully, it was the righteous undead. If it was the undead in the black robe, they would be in big trouble; the lives of the entire village would be in their hands.
People started praying to the heavens, hoping that the golden undead had won.
When a golden light flew over, everyone became excited. Some even embraced each other in joy. Heaven had not abandoned them; the benevolent undead had emerged victorious.
Ye Hua's armour appeared a bit tattered. It was all part of the act—after all, props were necessary for a convincing performance. This could perfectly illustrate that he had just been through a horrific battle. Would you humans be moved by this?
"Thank you for saving us," the village chief said with tears in his eyes, kneeling down in worship.
Seeing the village chief kneeling, others began to follow suit. They could never have imagined that they would worship an undead being.
But this undead being had saved their lives, worthy of such reverence.
Ye Hua felt the atmosphere was good. This was the feeling he wanted—his plan was gradually unfolding.
"Get up, there's no need for this," Ye Hua said in a deep voice, sounding somewhat weak, as if he had just won a hard-fought battle.
"Thank you for saving all the people in our village," the village chief exclaimed gratefully.
"I am eliminating evil for the sake of the people. Among the other races, there are both good and bad individuals. The undead we faced just now belong to the latter category—slaughtering innocents for their selfish desires. I will gradually deal with these scum, preventing them from tarnishing the reputation of other races!"
After Ye Hua made this impassioned speech, everyone felt it made sense. Even among humans, there were good and bad people. The same should apply to other races, like this undead who seemed like a good person.
It seemed that Ye Hua gave off the impression of a good person.
However, in reality, he was quite the opposite—deceptive and dishonest. He even deceived his wives. You could call him a scumbag.
"What the hero said is absolutely right. Regardless of the race, there are good and bad individuals," the village chief respectfully concurred. If possible, he wanted to spread this uplifting message, letting everyone know that not all members of other races were bad.
Ye Hua thought the old man was not bad; he seemed like a decent person.
"Why don't you move to the Voidless Empire? There, you'll have various benefits. As long as you're willing to work, you can support yourselves," Ye Hua suggested.
"Hero, we're used to living here. Suddenly moving... we're afraid..." the village chief hesitated.
Ye Hua replied calmly, "The safety of the Voidless Empire is guaranteed. If you continue staying here and encounter a similar incident, what will you do? After all, I can't protect you every day."
The village chief agreed with Ye Hua's reasoning. If those villains came back, what would they do then? Everyone would be in danger.
"Consider it. The Voidless Empire can ensure your safety, and such incidents won't happen there," Ye Hua said before disappearing on the spot. He didn't wait for them to make a decision.
Because only by leaving could they feel fear.
"Village chief, I think we should go to the Voidless Empire," a middle-aged woman spoke up.
"Yeah, village chief, if those bad guys come back, we won't have any way to defend ourselves."
"Indeed, now that the hero has left, we should make a decision quickly."
"Then let's have a meeting now to decide!" The village chief didn't waste time. Everyone's concerns were valid, and if it was necessary, they should move to the Voidless Empire.
Meanwhile, Ye Hua had returned to the palace. The play had been quite interesting, and he was eager to continue.
"Ye Hua, where did you just go?" Qing Ya suddenly asked. Ye Hua had been acting suspiciously these past few days, like he was up to something, but he wouldn't say what.
Ye Hua called out to Daji, "Make me a cup of tea."
"Of course, my lord. Would you like a foot bath as well?" Daji asked obediently.
"Sure, a foot bath." Ye Hua sat in a chair, looking relaxed.
"What were you doing, Ye Hua?" Qing Ya sat beside him, shaking his shoulders playfully.
"I didn't do anything, just took a walk outside," Ye Hua casually replied.
Donghuang Baizhi also approached, "Ye Hua, you're the emperor yet you make us handle things. Qing Ya and I deal with a lot every day, and you're just playing outside. Don't you care about us?"
Ye Hua hadn't expected that running an empire would be so troublesome. It was giving him a headache just thinking about it.
Now he could only comfort them.
He embraced Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi, "You've worked hard. Keep it up in the future."
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi were left speechless.
"You need to tell us what you've been up to, Ye Hua," Donghuang Baizhi demanded.
"It's nothing. I'm just planning for humans and other races to coexist peacefully. Isn't that more important? So, I'm a bit tired," Ye Hua explained casually.
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi exchanged glances. It felt so fake; he must have been sneaking out to play and deliberately came up with an excuse.
They looked at each other and seemed to have an idea, so they didn't press him further.
Soon, Daji arrived with the foot bath water, placing it beside Ye Hua's feet.
"My lord, let Daji help you with your foot bath," Daji asked respectfully, mindful of the presence of the two ladies.
In a good mood, Ye Hua agreed.
Daji was quite excited and immediately brought slippers for Ye Hua. Then, she gently placed his feet in the warm water, massaging them lightly. It felt so refreshing!
Encountering her lord's sacred body for the first time, Daji's face turned red. Oh my, she finally touched her lord's body.
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi gave Ye Hua a disdainful look. This is your reward, but at most, it's just a foot bath. Don't even think about anything else.
After the bath, Ye Hua embraced his two wives and said with a slight smile, "Let's go to bed."
"You go by yourself; we still have work to do," Qing Ya knew Ye Hua's character. He was probably up to no good again.
"Is work more important than sleep? I need to criticise both of you properly. We can continue tomorrow," Ye Hua scolded with a stern face, commonly known as scolding his wives. Later, he would also have a player backlash, making things tough for Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi.
The two tender wives were no match for Ye Hua. Domestic violence was in progress.
In the following days, Ye Hua and the Death Mage continued their act, and more and more people praised the virtues of the undead.
