The Lord's Empire

“Can you tell me about this area now?” Zhao Fu pulled the woman into his embrace and sat on a chair as he smiled and asked.

The woman looked at Zhao Fu with her beautiful eyes and said softly, “Then don’t hurt my father, those villagers, or my husband – no, Hong Li and Hong Dong.”

“That’s naturally not a problem. As long as you’re obedient and tell me everything, I’ll treat them all well,” Zhao Fu said as he smiled.

The woman satisfiedly nodded and lightly hugged Zhao Fu as she said coquettishly, “Husband, my name is Hong Mei. As long as you don’t harm them, I’ll be yours, and I’ll wholeheartedly serve you.”

Zhao Fu smiled and nodded and asked about the gray pearl.

Hong Mei explained, “That’s a Village Creation Pearl and can establish a Village. However, the Village attributes are quite different from the Heaven Awaken World Village attributes.

“Our Villages have three basic abilities. The first is an intimidation effect that makes it so that wild beasts don’t dare to come close. There’s also a territorial effect that makes a piece of land your territory. There’s also a class change effect.

Other attributes, such as crop production, stat bonuses, and population attraction do not exist here.

In fact, they did not even have an Origin, where villagers spawned. Without such a thing, how could they spawn new people.

Zhao Fu later found out that they relied on reproduction and could not obtain new villagers through the Villages. However, everyone had a special ability, which was to communicate with low-grade Insects and gather Insects.

The little boy had stolen a treasure of the Village and had gathered ten million Insects. That treasure was a consumable item, and after using it, it could not be reused.

This explained why a Village with less than 1,000 could summon ten million Insects.

Moreover, they could only gather Insects and most Insects would not attack them as long as they did not antagonize them. However, they could not communicate with other types of creatures.

They could not communicate with beasts, flying creatures, or aquatic creatures. These three types of creatures would also attack Outer World people.

The gray pearl was useless to Zhao Fu and could only create a Village. It was far too weak, and even if it was fused into a creature’s body, it would not have much of an effect. Zhao Fu gifted it to Hong Mei and asked her about other matters.

Zhao Fu learned that there were countless Dens of various sizes. The Outer World Villages were quite rare and there were also extremely powerful existences.

For example, on the eastern side there was a massive lake where there were at least one billion Blood-Sucking Mosquitos. The mosquitos were only one meter long and could quickly fly and had extremely sharp mouthparts. After stabbing their mouthparts into a person’s body, they would quickly suck a person’s blood, and very few people dared to go to such a place.

On the western side there was a large group of Fire Red Ants that numbered in the billions and similarly, no creatures dared to go near.

On the northern side, there were 700 or 800 million Horned Boars. They were three meters long and had tough skin and powerful defenses. They had sharp horns on their heads and had destructive power. They were ruled over by a Boar King, who had terrifying strength, and it had killed many World Realm experts.

The true danger was on the southern side. There was an enormous Chaos Evil City where there were tens of millions of Chaos Evil people.

If they were just ordinary people, Great Qin would be able to destroy them easily. However, the Chaos Evil people were one of the vilest races in the Outer World, and their Legacy Technique could create countless half-man half-insect monsters.

It was said that they controlled around six billion insect monsters, which was incredibly terrifying.

After hearing Hong Mei talk about ten or so factions or powers, Zhao Fu felt incredibly shocked. Only now did he realize how dangerous the Outer World was.

These factions all greatly hated Heaven Awaken World people, and if they discovered Heaven Awaken World people, they would definitely kill them and not let anyone off. If they discovered Great Qin, Great Qin would be in great danger.

Back then, Hong Mei had brought up these factions to threaten Zhao Fu, and these factions really were quite terrifying. However, Hong Mei would not have actually leaked Zhao Fu’s information to those factions; once they attacked, all creatures in this area would be wiped out.

This was especially so for the Chaos Evil people. They did not spare even people of the same race and would often capture them and conduct cruel experiments on them.

For example, they would put Insects in people’s bodies and use the people’s blood and flesh as food for the Insects, causing the people to go through immense pain. They would also splice Insects and people together to create terrifying insect monsters, and they also transplanted Insect organs into people.

The Outer World was split into many races, and the Humanoid creatures had the smallest numbers. There were nine major races and they all had different abilities and attributes. The Chaos Spirit Race and Chaos Evil Race were among them.

Now that he knew how dangerous it was, Zhao Fu planned to make proper defenses in order to guarantee that Great Qin could defend against these terrifying creatures.

In the end, Hong Mei told Zhao Fu the location of the Sunlight Gemstone mine. Hong Mei’s Village had long since discovered this mine, but it was not of any use to them. As such, they had never excavated it, and it was under a large mountain.

Zhao Fu ordered people to go and have a look according to the information that Hong Mei had provided, mainly to see if there was any danger and to check how big the mine was.

“Husband! Can I go and see Hong Li and Hong Dong now? I want to see how they are and won’t do anything else,” Hong Mei said as she looked at Zhao Fu anxiously.

Zhao Fu had obtained a lot of information from her and he felt quite happy, so he did not refuse and agreed to let her see the brothers.

Hong Mei happily kissed Zhao Fu and ran to see the brothers. Zhao Fu had many things to take care of, and he was still waiting for the report from the people who had gone to scout.

Hong Mei came to the prison and felt quite anxious to see them; this was the whole reason why she was here.

However, in the end, the Village had been destroyed and her body became another man’s. In the future, she would wholeheartedly serve that man and that man would bring her unimaginable pleasure every day. She greatly desired being done by that man.

In her heart, she still loved Hong Li, the man who Zhao Fu had captured; she did not stop loving him because of Zhao Fu. Her love towards Hong Li did not decrease, but another man had also forced his way into her heart.

Looking at the wounded Hong Li, tears flowed out of Hong Mei’s eyes and she cried out in heartache, “Hong Li! Are you alright?”
