Chapter 536 Return From The Hunt

Princess Elizabeth was chatting with Xu Yuan and the others in the Lionheart Empire’s stronghold; their table was filled with fruits.

“I wonder how Lu Yu’s hunting is going. He’s been out for so long.” Su Qing looked at the time and mumbled.

“It’s only been less than two hours,” Elizabeth answered with a smile. “This is normal. My hunting team sometimes goes out for five to six hours without any harvest.”

“Oh? They’ve been out for so long without any harvest; is your hunting group just slacking off?”

Su Qing asked in surprise.

“They don’t have the guts to do that. Their main target isn’t any ordinary prey, as it has to be a rare and precious beast. Therefore, it’s possible that they can go out for an entire day and return empty-handed.”

Hearing this, Su Qing heaved a sigh. “I see. If the requirements are so strict, it’ll be difficult to get something during the hunt.”

“I wonder if Lu Yu can hunt that spirit deer.”

Elizabeth looked down at the time and said, “It’s still early, so let’s just wait. He’ll probably come back early if he doesn’t find anything.”

Su Qing cupped her chin and looked at Elizabeth curiously. “If Lu Yu can hunt a spirit deer, how long will it take him to do it?”

“At least four hours.”

Su Qing nodded. “In other words, if he returns within four hours, it means he failed the hunt?”

Elizabeth shrugged her shoulders. “That’s right.”

Xu Yuan couldn’t help but ask, “Is this time accurate? What if Lu Yu’s luck was good, and he caught it immediately?”

Elizabeth explained patiently, “Spirit deers are special creatures. They have unique escaping skills and can easily elude ordinary hunters’ capture.”

“So, if we want to hunt for a spirit deer, we need to continue tracking it. We’ll injure it, and after it escapes, we’ll chase after it until it’s exhausted.”

“Therefore, according to my experience, four hours is enough to exhaust the spirit deer’s stamina.”

“Of course, this is just a conservative estimate. It might take longer.”

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in understanding.

“Is that so? I guess we’ll have to wait for some time.”

“If it is so hard to catch, it should be useful, right?” Wang Meng asked curiously.

“Yes, of course. The antlers of a spirit deer can save a life, and its hide can be used to create many high-level items. Also, eating its meat can permanently increase one’s lifespan!”

Upon hearing this, the others lit up their eyes!

“Really? Can it really increase one’s lifespan?”

“Damn, this spirit deer is just a treasure box! Lu Yu must hunt it down!”

“This deer sure has many special properties. All the prey I’ve hunted can’t compare to this one.”

“It would be great if Lu Yu could hunt it down!”

They were excited and couldn’t wait to eat the meat of the spirit deer.

Elizabeth couldn’t help but laugh when she saw how excited they were.

“If you have the time, come to the Lionheart Empire. I can treat you to a meal.”

“The meat of the spirit deer is specially reserved for the royal family. You can eat some in the royal family’s kitchen.”

Wang Meng looked at Elizabeth excitedly and said, “Thank you so much. If there’s a chance in the future, we’ll definitely make a trip there!”

Xu Yuan patted him on the shoulder and chastised him, “You’re being impolite. That’s the royal family’s exclusive meal, and we’re not the royal family.”

“Don’t worry,” Elizabeth said with a smile, “just treat it as my gift.”

Although the spirit deer meat was a precious ingredient to Elizabeth, it was worth using it to gain Lu Yu’s favor.

In her opinion, Lu Yu was no ordinary person since he could lead this small team to fight against a powerful evil organization such as the Truth Department.

Moreover, she had more or less heard Lu Yu’s name. The three princesses of the royal family were all knowledgeable and knew a lot about major international events.

Therefore, she felt winning over Lu Yu as a friend was worth it.

They sat in the living room and waited for a long time. Soon, a figure quickly walked in.

“Your Highness, Mr. Lu Yu has returned!”

Elizabeth quickly lowered her head to check the time.

“Two and a half hours. It seems like he failed.” Elizabeth decisively stated.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan and the others lowered their heads and sighed.

“Sigh, it must be difficult to catch it. If Lu Yu can’t catch it, then let’s forget it. Just pretend that we’ve never heard of it.” Wang Meng shrugged his shoulders.

“That’s right; at least Lu Yu has tried his best,” Xu Yuan added.

“It’s not like there won’t be any chances to eat it in the future. We’ll meet again sooner or later.” Yun Zirou confidently stated.

“I should have gone with him; my telekinesis would definitely be of great help!”

Han Xuefei spoke regretfully. She felt her telekinesis was suitable for hunting, especially for prey that could escape easily.

At that moment, at the entrance of the stronghold.

The huge iron gates rumbled as they were lifted, revealing Lu Yu’s figure.

Lu Yu walked in. The armored knights around him looked at Lu Yu’s figure and couldn’t help but murmur.

“Didn’t he say he would hunt for spirit deer when he went out? I wonder why he returned empty-handed?”

“Hehe, he definitely didn’t catch it. Even our hunting group couldn’t catch it, so how could he catch it by himself?”

...

“Sigh, if he had caught it, he would have excitedly spread the news. It seems like he failed.”

“The princess’s friend’s strength is nothing special, it seems.”

“I was quite optimistic about him at first, but now it seems that a spirit deer isn’t something that can be easily hunted.”

Lu Yu ignored the discussions of the people around him. He had already finished processing the prey; he couldn’t possibly release the processed materials in front of so many people, right?

Lu Yu walked toward the villa. From afar, he saw Elizabeth and the rest standing at the door, waiting for his return.

“How’s the hunt? Did you have fun?” Yun Zirou asked loudly, waving her hand.

She knew Lu Yu had failed in his hunt and wasn’t feeling well. She would just treat this hunt as a game.

Xu Yuan also asked, “Is that animal hard to catch? Next time, we’ll be able to catch one. At that time, we’ll do it together!”

“I’ll go with you next time. My telekinesis will definitely be of great help to you.” Han Xuefei added confidently.

Lu Yu walked over quickly and asked in confusion, “What are you guys talking about? What failed hunt?”

The few people standing there looked at each other and asked in confusion.

...

“What do you mean? Didn’t you fail your hunt?”

“No one can stop the spirit deer’s escape skill. It should take at least four hours to exhaust the spirit deer’s strength…”

Elizabeth also looked at Lu Yu in surprise and asked, “Don’t tell me you’ve finished the hunt?”
