Chapter 889: Chapter 716, please pass to Gold and Silver Island (5000 words, two-in-one).

Shi Yali noticed the other person’s gaze and looked back puzzledly, "What’s wrong?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Xi Ligui’s brows were still furrowed, "Do you miss him that much?"

"Miss who? What did I just say?" Shi Yali was a bit confused.

"You said you wanted to visit the Island Lord’s Mansion tonight to chat with Wu Heng," Xi Ligui stated directly.

Shi Yali’s eyes widened slightly, and after a pause, she responded, "Yes, don’t you feel like there’s nothing new happening on the island without him? When he was here, there were exhibitions, stage plays, and now there’s nothing new."

Xi Ligui still squinted at her.

Although that was what she said, it always felt like Shi Yali’s attitude towards Wu Heng was somewhat improper.

Still, she said, "Shi Yali, I think there’s something off about you."

Shi Yali stood up, walked to a nearby counter, and brewed some tea, "What’s off?"

"It’s odd, you wouldn’t have fallen for him, have you?"

Shi Yali carried her tea back, leaned against the armrest of Xi Ligui’s chair, and placed a hand on her shoulder, "Don’t worry, sister knows your feelings for him, I won’t snatch him away from you."

Xi Ligui gave her a look, "What feelings, nonsense."

"How about we go to the Island Lord’s Mansion tonight? We’ve got nothing else to do at home anyway," Shi Yali continued.

Xi Ligui frowned in thought and then shook her head, "Let’s wait a couple more days. It’s not good to visit too often, and Mini said those communication gadgets don’t always receive messages straight away. Even if we go, he might not get our message."

"Alright, you’re the Steward, what you say goes," Shi Yali shrugged.

"There’s always a show at the opera house, just go watch one by yourself."

"They’re all old shows, not worth watching." Shi Yali took a sip of her tea and muttered softly, "Why hasn’t he returned yet."

"He should be back soon," Xi Ligui said as she picked up her own cup, "Go pour me a cup of water."

"Quite demanding," Shi Yali muttered as she took her cup and walked away.

...

The train doors opened, and Wu Heng stepped out with his skeleton attendants.

He breathed deeply facing the sea.

The moist air filled his lungs and brought a refreshing sensation.

Gold and Silver Island was indeed the best.

Even the ports of Netalee City couldn’t match the feeling of being on Gold and Silver Island.

The Three Ghosts were released and they walked toward the city.

"Have we returned to Gold and Silver Island?" Glenda asked.

"We’re back," Wu Heng replied.

"Yay, we’re home!" Xiao Xiao cheered.

Bella floated nearby, adding, "Gold and Silver Island looks better, like a living city."

"That’s right, and no need to worry about bad guys."

The Three Ghosts floated above, feeling the sentiment of a long journey concluded.

Glenda floated down slightly and asked, "How are things over in Lundham City?"

"Spoke with Wen Mansha yesterday, she said we’ve already taken over two cities."

Wu Heng also kept a close watch on the situation in Lundham City.

But the battle showed a one-sided trend, with the Skeleton Army pushing forward relentlessly while the Yeko Kingdom’s army retreated continuously.

Under the onslaught of the Skeleton Army, two cities and several surrounding villages and towns had already been captured.

If it weren’t for the battle lines being stretched too thin, fearing a flanking assault on Lundham City, they might have captured even more cities.

Skeletons combined with modern weaponry showed tremendous combat effectiveness.

Fierce firepower, fast movements, no need for baggage trains or rest.

They marched overnight, immediately engaging in battle.

It felt like a blitzkrieg.

This combination and style of warfare were completely unseen and unacceptable to the people of this world.

They could only retreat step by step.

"Maybe, without you wanting it, Wen Mansha has done it for you," Glenda remarked.

Wu Heng glanced at her, "Are you talking about taking over a kingdom by force?"

"Yeah, when the kingdom is conquered, the population base increases. Then by spreading your fame through newspapers, it’s sufficient for you to level up," Glenda continued.

If there really was a kingdom that large, there indeed wouldn’t be any worry about not being able to level up.

But the Yeko Kingdom’s territory was vast, with various forces mixed in.

It wasn’t as simple as one might think.

"Let’s see," Wu Heng said.

"But I must say, skeletons are indeed good at fighting," Glenda remarked.

They continued walking and chatting, entering the bustling streets.

Some residents gathered by the roadside chatting, discussing the situation in Netalee City.

The fleets of various trade associations had arrived at the port of Netalee City.

Various pieces of intelligence and news spread to the surrounding cities and islands via some ships.

It had also become a hot topic on Gold and Silver Island.

"I heard the association wants to replace the Royal Family."

"Who said that? Based on the timing, the association’s people haven’t reached the main city yet, and besides, the association doesn’t interfere with the internal affairs of kingdoms. They can’t just replace the Royal Family randomly."

"The outsiders are all saying, colluding with the Evil Cult to kill the investigative team from headquarters, the Royal Family is definitely changing."

"I heard that the current Prince is from the Evil Cult, they switched the child in earlier years."

"That’s too far-fetched. The information I got is that the kingdom’s ministers are secretly members of the Evil Cult, controlling the prince, turning him into a puppet."

"Aren’t they saying the Royal Family performed a living sacrifice to seek ways to prolong life?"

"Which one is true?"

Wu Heng and the Three Ghosts slowed their pace to listen.

Listening to the discussion stirred their brows.

Where did all this information come from, with so many versions?

Moreover, currently, they only obtained intelligence about the Crown Prince collaborating with the sect through Wenshi—how did it stretch to living sacrifices for prolonging life?

This span was a bit too far.

Listening to the increasingly absurd rumors, some even started saying that Wu Heng was the old King’s illegitimate son and also had a claim to the throne.
