Forced to walk in the world of anime

Chu Xing gently pinched Emilia's cheek with two fingers, looking at the girl's puffed-up cheeks with a doting smile, and led her into the palace!

"... "

Roswaal stood there pitifully, unable to do anything. He was supposed to lead the way, but somehow it turned into Chu Xing standing alone, and Emilia didn't even glance at him...

Roswaal suddenly felt a deep malice from the world towards him, that life was meaningless, and that he felt sorry for being born.

The most authoritative Dragon Calendar Stone is actually located in a large square in the central courtyard of the palace. You don't need to turn east or west; just walk straight to the end of the road and you'll see it!

Moreover, they couldn't run away anyway, so now all the royals are dead. But in order for the next king to have a good environment to live in and better connect with the gods, everything in the palace has been preserved as it was before.

Therefore, that area was also guarded, and only the road leading to the main square was open!

"This is the Dragon Stone?"

Chu Xing looked at the giant rock in front of him, which was about the size of a small building and shimmered with thousands of colors. He raised an eyebrow and said, "I understand the logic, but why make this rock look so artistic?"

"..."

Emilia was too embarrassed to speak, her face flushed, and she stared at the ground without looking up!

Tsk!

How interesting! I wonder which genius came up with the idea when this country was founded to have the most noble and authoritative Dragon Stone carved into the likeness of the first priestess who spoke with the dragon!

Um, that's all fine.

But why aren't they wearing clothes?

Chu Xing's eye twitched involuntarily. How could such an indecent statue stand in the palace square? What kind of brain did the rulers of that time have? Not only did they create it, but they also placed it in front of everyone!

Doesn't he know how skilled the top craftsmen are and how lifelike they can sculpt the statues?

Glancing at the serious-looking soldiers around him, Chu Xing couldn't help but think that standing guard here must be an extremely grueling experience! If he accidentally misjudged the recoil, it would be quite embarrassing!

"Cough cough!"

Just then, a cough broke the silence in the otherwise overly quiet environment!

Everyone's attention was drawn to it.

Seated on a high platform reserved for the highest members of the Senate, an old man addressed Emilia with a solemn expression: "Emilia? You are quite good, the first of the thirty-six girls to arrive here, but... you can leave now. Your appearance is unsuitable for a proper priestess! Nor are you worthy of being the ruler of this country!"

Wow! He started off with a furious rebuttal!

"Why--"

Emilia's nervousness and shyness because of the statue vanished instantly. She suddenly raised her head, her crystal-clear, flawless amethyst eyes staring intently at the elder, and asked this question!

The elder didn't avoid the gaze, glaring back sharply, and said in a deep voice, "Why? Don't you think your appearance is the same as that of the witch from 400 years ago? Perhaps we urgently need a priestess now, but we don't need to find a priestess who looks like a witch!"

"... "

Emilia's eyes were brimming with light. Under Chu Xing's protection, she hardly needed to use them. Some people mocked her appearance or looked at her with disdain!

However, Chu Xing couldn't make any prior arrangements for her in this place!

At that moment, Emilia had a sudden realization. She seemed to understand what she should do as the ruler of this country!

We must nip this racist and prejudiced mindset in the bud!

The thought flashed through Emilia's mind, but before she could say it aloud, the powerful family heads and social elites around her spoke up.

"Let's get out of here! That face is terrifying! If she becomes the queen of this country, I'll definitely leave!"

"Me too! This face scares me to death, even in my dreams! Let him be the supreme ruler of this country? Can't we at least not turn Lugnica into a living hell? I'm genuinely terrified!"

"Disgusting! A silver-haired half-elf! Why didn't her parents kill her when she was born? Letting her live until now is such a huge mistake!"

A barrage of negative voices suddenly emerged!

Like towering waves crashing against Emilia's small boat, almost capsizing her, the tears in her eyes became even more pronounced!

"Don't be afraid! You are the best!"

An encouraging yet resolute voice rang out beside Emilia, and Chu Xing gently squeezed Emilia's small hand!

Emilia turned to look at Chu Xing. His words of encouragement brought her a sense of peace. The negative words had shattered the girl's fragile heart, and she couldn't piece it back together in a short time.

She looked at Chu Xing with a pleading look in her eyes, as if begging him to take her away. She couldn't accept so much foul language, and she couldn't bear such immense pressure! And this pressure had come on all at once!

"Ugh!"

Chu Xing felt a pang of heartache. He suddenly realized he had nothing better to do than send Emilia to participate in the heir to the throne competition. What a wonderful young girl she was, innocent and adorable, unaware of the world's troubles. Why did he have to subject her to so much negativity?

With his arms outstretched, Chu Xing still embraced Emilia in his arms. Perhaps he had previously thought that Emilia should face some things on her own so that she could grow up, but that did not mean that Emilia had to go through pain!

Chu Xing still had the same idea: to raise Emilia's strength to the pinnacle of the world, and then let her go out to explore the world. With absolute strength and Chu Xing standing behind her, no one would dare to say anything!

"Who is that person? Why are they standing next to the half-elf?"

Finally, someone noticed Chu Xing. Perhaps it was quite difficult for him to go unnoticed while he was holding Emilia like this.

"I don't know, maybe it sneaked in?"

"It must be. Could someone standing with a half-elf be a decent person?"

Hearing the surrounding chatter, the elder's heart stirred. He stared at Chu Xing for a while, then sneered and shouted to the guards, "Men, bring that man here! I remember he wasn't among the people who accompanied me to the palace for the test!"

"Yes!"

The guards were just tools; they did whatever the elders told them to do. Several of them stepped forward and strode toward Chu Xing, trying to separate the young couple who were embracing each other!

But seemingly before they could even make a move, Chu Xing proactively released his embrace, gently patted Emilia's head, looked at her with boundless affection, and whispered, "You've done very well. Now let me pave the way for you! Let me break through the prejudiced eyes of the world!"

"Um…"

Emilia nodded slightly. She also wanted to shoulder everything alone and try to face it, but she had only taken one step when she was bombarded with such a barrage of attacks. She couldn't take it anymore! Sure enough, these things should be taken slowly. Taking such a big step all at once had actually backfired!

Then, Chu Xing slowly turned around and looked at the approaching guards, saying indifferently, "You'd better not come up. I don't want another slap from the sky to kill a bunch of people because of the number of people!"

"Huh? You—"

The guards were taken aback at first, but then they remembered the huge palm print on the commercial street not long ago, as well as the terrifying aura that lingered there. They immediately stopped in their tracks and dared not continue.

It wasn't that they lacked mental fortitude; when they were repairing and restoring the commercial street, the residual force of that palm strike almost crushed their bodies!

Now that they've encountered the one who unleashed that palm strike, how could they not panic?

###193. What is a title?###

"Why haven't you made a move yet?"

The elder frowned, his silvery eyebrows furrowing, and urged him on!

Those sitting on the high platform couldn't hear these sounds. Although they knew something about Chu Xing, this extremely terrifying being, they still didn't know what he looked like! However, in their minds, such a powerful figure as Chu Xing must be extremely arrogant and would never be the same Chu Xing holding the girl below the platform!

"Elders..."

Among these guards, one of the higher-ranking guards, dressed in slightly more luxurious clothes, looked up at the elders on the platform with a complex and strange expression.

This mission is absurd! Asking them to drive away a terrifying being who can destroy half a city with a single blow is practically suicide!

The soldier's gaze lingered on Chu Xing for a long time before he jogged up the platform and whispered in the ear of an elder, in a voice only the two of them could hear.

However, Chu Xing was unwilling to let these old guys escape this calamity so easily!

brush!

With a flick of his finger, a beam of azure ice shot out dozens of meters, freezing the high-ranking soldier's mouth with perfect accuracy!

"... "

This sudden move silenced the air!

The elder who was supposed to be listening to the gullible whispers was also stunned on the spot!

"Humph!"

Immediately, to break the awkward silence, Chu Xing stepped forward, shaking the large plaza that could easily hold ten thousand people, and said with a smile to the elders, "Are you going to kick me out? Do you have the right? I am a Royal Knight! Even though the Royal Family no longer exists, the honor of us Royal Knights will live on forever! We can come and go as we please in this palace. No matter how big your Senate is, what can you do to me?"

"you--"

The elder, regaining his composure, slammed his fist on the table in a fit of rage, shouting, "You brat! Do you know what you're saying? What can the Senate do to you? This is utterly insolent! Do you need me to show you the law? What does the Senate symbolize when there is no emperor on the throne?"

Furthermore, how dare you make a move at such an important event! Who gave you the audacity? Do you know that this alone is enough for me to ensure your eternal damnation?!

To be fair, as expected of the ruler at the pinnacle of a country, he may be a bit old-fashioned, but this elder statesman's aura is not weak at all. When he spoke these words, he was so firm and so dignified. If it were someone with a weak mind, they would probably be trembling with fear right now!

However, the person standing before the elders now is not someone with a weak mind, but a great terror who once unleashed a bloodbath in a world!

"just you?"

Chu Xing blinked, looking utterly bewildered, and exclaimed incredulously, "No way, no way! Do you think you're being funny? Making such a silly joke? No way, a member of a country's Senate would be this stupid? We're doomed, we're really doomed! Lugnica has no future!"

"presumptuous!"

This time, all five elders on the stage stood up at the same time!

They might watch Chu Xing interact with another elder and secretly chuckle, but when it comes to the nation, they can't stand idly by! After all, those in this position bear the heavy responsibility of protecting the country! Anyone who looks down on Lugnica or attacks her in any way must be dealt with swiftly and decisively!

Of course, if they are capable of defeating their opponents, and if they encounter several major powers, these old men will also choose to obediently act as their grandsons!

"cut!"

Hearing this bland and meaningless term, Chu Xing rolled his eyes and complained, "Can't you use a different term? Forget it, now's not the time to talk about this! Let's get back to the point, why can't my Leah participate in the royal selection? What right do you have to stop her!"

"Because of her appearance—"

"Damn it!"

Chu Xing immediately cursed, his face darkening instantly: "Appearance? Do you believe I can make half the people in this country look like that? Don't worry, you few can also become half-elves with purple eyes and long silver hair! Such a large-scale illusion might be troublesome, but it's not something I can't do!"

After saying that, Chu Xing felt that talk was cheap and action was useless. He raised one hand and casually slid it a few times in the air. In the next few breaths, something unbelievable happened in the square!

Everyone's hair is growing rapidly, until it reaches their waist! And the hair color is turning silver-white! Their originally multicolored eyes have all turned purple!

"this--"

This terrified the nobles and high-ranking people present. Looking at their companions' appearances, they hesitated for a moment, then realized they too had become like this, their faces changing drastically as they stared intently at Chu Xing! Without needing any explanation, they knew who had done this!

However, before they began to demand an explanation, what shocked them even more was the fact that such a smokescreen could be created so easily in the blink of an eye. If this were applied to military affairs, how remarkable the effect would be…
