The woman in red smiled and returned the old man Langdon's soul crystal to Emerald:

"Once we reach my territory, I'll give you some medicine that can repair the soul. Then you can find a way to get a sacred fruit from that stupid tree in Shangying Kingdom, and that will restore him... Didn't your Melson family just form a marriage alliance with the Tiangong family? Getting a sacred fruit shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

"Yes, it's not difficult at all!"

Amelie could hardly hide her joy.

She already has one sacred fruit; all she needs next is the red-clothed medicine.

If Langdon's soul can be successfully restored, it would be an unexpected bonus for Emerald.

After fully acquiring Suzuran and reviewing its database, Emerald realized that her previous assessment of Langdon's abilities had been somewhat conservative.

This old man is definitely the most outstanding biologist in the world today; many of his ideas and insights are completely ahead of his time.

Debbie Slater was absolutely right about one thing: if Langdon hadn't been so obsessed with solving the magic rejecters, but instead used his talents in the broader field of biology, he could have led the entire civilization's biotechnology forward by leaps and bounds.

It would be such a pity if such a talented person were to perish. Fortunately, it seems that the old man will be back soon.

With the resources Amelie currently controls, she can give Langdon a new body and a new identity once his soul is repaired.

After everything was discussed and agreed upon, the next step was to go to the red-clothed woman's territory.

After all, there are only stones on this island right now. The old lich and the red-clothed woman might not mind, but a certain young lady and a certain princess would prefer comfortable material conditions.

Upon entering the territory of the Tianyun Empire, neither the old lich nor the woman in red dared to do so... They were both afraid that the Dao Ancestor would strike them with his sword again.

So after the four left the island, they flew rapidly eastward along the outer edge of the coastline and soon landed in the southeastern region of the eastern continent.

This land is not within the territory of the Tianyun Empire, but belongs to the Wilderness. The entire Wilderness covers an area of ​​over 3000 million square kilometers, which is more than twice the size of the Tianyun Empire (1000 million square kilometers) and the Shangying Kingdom (450 million square kilometers) combined.

Contrary to Amelie's imagination, the Wildlands were not wild at all. They were not the kind of barren and arid lands that were lacking in resources. On the contrary, the climate was warm and humid, and everything was lush and green. It was just a little hot. The general geographical environment was similar to that of southern India on Earth.

Of course, this is only a part of the Wildlands, and Amelie doesn't know if other Wildlands have such a good natural environment.

A good natural environment means abundant ecological resources and a suitable environment for living.

So as she flew at high speed across the sky, Emery paid special attention and actually saw quite a few tribes in this wild land.

Just like in the original game, these primitive tribes have very backward civilizations.

Only a small number of the more advanced tribes wore cut animal skins, while most of the less advanced tribes wore leaves. No tribe had developed enough civilization to have spinning and weaving techniques.

However, because they still rely on hunting as a relatively primitive way of survival, these tribes in the wilderness are all in great shape.

The men were all tall and strong, with visible muscles in their limbs, chest and abdomen. Almost every one of them was a tough guy, and they could probably take on any of the large felines on Earth by grabbing a long-handled weapon. Not to mention that there was a chance that some of these tribesmen would have supernatural abilities.

The women were all very tall, almost none were shorter than 1.8 meters, and a height of 2 meters was not unusual in a primitive tribe.

Perhaps because women in primitive tribes are mainly responsible for childbirth, almost every one of them is plump on top and fat on the bottom, but they don't look fat, and they are all agile. Because the backward civilization makes every tribal settlement not very safe, the women must have enough skills and physical strength to escape with their children when danger comes, and even fight alongside the men.

However, it was precisely because of this that Amelie suddenly understood why the nobles of Tianyun Kingdom and Shangying Kingdom liked to capture people from barbarian tribes as slaves.

Those tall and strong tribal men would definitely be very popular with wealthy women, and each one could probably fetch at least three times the price of an average young human man.

It goes without saying that tall, plump women from the tribe are highly sought after, as driving large vehicles is a preference for many humans. Those women from the tribe with better looks and skin would be quite popular in the slave market.

Amelie did not conceal her observations of the tribes in the wilderness, and the old lich and the red-clothed woman were completely indifferent to it.

Ji Xinyu seemed to have guessed something, and suddenly leaned closer to Emery, lowered her voice, and smiled ambiguously:

"What? Senior Sister, you've also taken a fancy to these horses from the wild lands? My Princess's stables have quite a few fine horses, and I often ride them when I'm bored... Should I have someone prepare a few to give to you later? I wonder what kind you specifically like?"

"Thank you for your kindness, junior sister, but I'm actually not very interested in riding horses."

Amelie did feel a flutter in her heart for about 300 milliseconds, but in the end, she smiled and shook her head, while reaching out to wrap her arms around Ji Xinyu's slender waist.

"Compared to riding horses, enjoying romantic moments with a beauty like you, my junior sister, is what I prefer to do in my spare time~"

Chapter 262 Everyone made money, so who lost money?

Faced with Emily's teasing, Ji Xinyu showed no shyness whatsoever. Instead, she pressed herself against Emily's chest and used her hand to hook Emily's chin in a counter-teasing display.

"Really? Actually, I also really like young ladies like you, Senior Sister~~"

"More exquisite than the jade discs in the palace, sweeter than the candies made by the imperial chefs, more elegant than the finest musical instruments, softer than the finest cotton... Whew."

"Senior sister, do you know? When there's no demonic tide, my favorite thing to do in the East Pavilion is to stroll around the streets and grab any young lady I fancy and bring her back to the Princess's mansion to enjoy her."

"Uh."

Amelie was slightly speechless, then asked curiously:

"Did anyone resist? I know you're a princess, and the young ladies you brought home were probably just trying to lure you in... But there must have been some who didn't want to, right? Like those who already had someone they loved but were still devoted to?"

"Of course there are! In fact, I prefer playing this kind of game!"

Ji Xinyu began to boast with a somewhat excited expression:

"If their sweetheart is a man, then just beat him up and throw him out of the city. I have absolutely no interest in men."

"But if their sweethearts are also women... hehe, that would be interesting. I would capture their sweethearts and bring them to my manor as well, and conquer both of them at the same time."

"The scene I love to watch the most, and never get tired of, is when two people who were originally lovers become rivals after I've conquered them, fighting over me. It's just so satisfying... By the way, have you ever tried playing like that, senior sister?"

"Hmm...it seems there really isn't, and it does sound quite interesting."

Amelie's eyes lit up, and she began to consider whether she should try it out when she got back.

Actually, the situation of those elf girls is somewhat similar to this kind of game. For example, Edith used to admire and be infatuated with Viliana, and Viliana also liked this junior very much.

Unfortunately, elves have no concept of chastity or shame, nor do they have any thoughts of jealousy or rivalry. After falling from grace, they only pursue pleasure... Although their entire race is full of beautiful women who can bring great physical pleasure, they are often not as emotionally valuable as human beauties.

The two female students, who were clearly both "bad girls," started exchanging their experiences, techniques, and fun of being "bad girls," and in the blink of an eye, they had flown hundreds of kilometers away.

Finally, we arrived at our destination.

When she arrived at the place, Emery was startled and her body tensed up.

Because this place looks like a city of the Tianyun Empire, and not a small city at all. The roads are clean, tidy and wide, and the houses are all exquisitely designed and crafted brick and tile houses. There are even magnificent palaces built with jade bricks and glazed tiles.

People on the street were dressed in cloth or silk robes. Most of the men waved folding fans and looked elegant, while the women wore sachets at their waists and jade hairpins in their hair. They were clearly living quite well-off lives.

The shops on both sides of the street offer everything from food and drinks to entertainment, making it look similar to the ancient-style tourist towns that Amelie had lived in her previous life.

That's why Emerald was so nervous for a moment, thinking that a few people had accidentally flown into the territory of the Tianyun Empire, fearing that an irresistible sword light would cross thousands of miles in the next second.

There's a high probability we'll still have to fight the final boss, but definitely not now. The current Emerald wouldn't stand a chance against the final boss.

Fortunately, Ji Xinyu promptly offered an explanation with a smile:

"Don't worry, senior sister, this is not within the territory of the Tianyun Empire, although it is very close to the border of the Tianyun Empire."

"Where is this place...?"

Emery pointed to the town below with a puzzled look on her face. This was yet another place that was not mentioned at all in the original game.

"This city is called Xiangyun City, and the people living in it are indeed mostly from the Tianyun Empire."

Ji Xinyu paused for a moment after speaking:

"Hmm... how should I put it? Senior Sister, you must have heard about it, right? When the Dao Ancestor founded the Immortal Sect and the Empire, she established an order that was absolutely inviolable."

I've heard some of it.

Emerald nodded slightly; this was all the information available in the original game:

"I've heard that the path that the Dao Ancestor walks is the path of eternal order."

"Huh? Senior sister, you really know all this? You know so much!"

Ji Xinyu was somewhat surprised, but also relieved:

“That explains it… In the absolute order established by the Dao Ancestor, the territory of the Tianyun Empire is also absolute; it cannot be increased or decreased.”

"Therefore, over the past thousands of years, with the strength of the Tianyun Empire, it could have easily turned most of the wilderness into imperial territory, and even conquered Shangying Kingdom and launched expeditions to my senior sister's place. However, the Tianyun Empire has never expanded its territory by an inch."

"However, as the population grew, the resources within the empire were no longer as abundant. As a result, some of the empire's inhabitants chose to leave the empire and established cities like Xiangyun City near the border, which, although not under the jurisdiction of the Tianyun Empire, were entirely in the style of the empire."

"Of course, there are also some large families who lost in the internal struggles of the empire and fled the country to settle in the wilderness. After decades or hundreds of years of development, they were able to build such cities."

"understood."

Emery nodded in realization, then pointed to the town beneath her feet:

"Then this Xiangyun City must be Aunt Red's territory?"

"You could say that... because most people in the city don't know about it."

The woman in red smiled and tossed another red ghost mask at Emerald:

"On the surface, the Netherworld Sect controls Xiangyun City. It's a small sect that was forced to leave Tianyun Kingdom due to suppression by the Immortal Sect and developed in the wilderness... There are actually quite a few small sects like this in the wilderness. As long as they don't enter the territory of Tianyun Empire, the Immortal Sect usually doesn't bother with them."

"And the Netherworld Ancestor of the Netherworld Cult is actually me. The mask I gave you, Ellie, is the symbol of the Netherworld Cult's envoy. As long as you wear this, no one in Xiangyun City will dare to mess with you, which can avoid a lot of trouble... Although you, Ellie, are probably not afraid of those troubles, it must be annoying to be constantly bothered by flies, right?"

"Yes, Aunt in red is right."

Amelie naturally agreed, and then glanced at the old lich and Ji Xinyu, only to find that they had already taken out the same red ghost face mask and put it on, clearly indicating that they were regulars.

So Amelie put on the red ghost mask, and the group finally entered the city.

The woman in red must have used some kind of magic, as ordinary people couldn't see her at all. However, almost everyone on both sides of the street knelt down in unison, and the once lively scene instantly became completely silent. Everyone looked at the red ghost masks on Amelie's and the others with fear and trepidation.

The old lich and Ji Xinyu seemed used to this scene, as if they hadn't seen the people kneeling on both sides of the street, and walked straight towards the most luxurious palace in the city center, with Amelie following closely behind.

The palace was located at the headquarters of the Netherworld Cult, where Amelie met with ordinary members of the cult again.

A man and a woman, both dressed in red outfits and with their faces covered by red veils.

The difference is that women cover the lower half of their faces with red gauze, leaving only their eyes exposed.

The men, like Batman, cover the upper half of their face with a red veil, leaving their nostrils, mouth, and entire chin exposed.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!" x2

Upon seeing Amelie and her companions, the two members of the Underworld Cult immediately bowed respectfully and opened the door for them.

After entering the Netherworld Cult, they encountered many more members of the cult along the way, all dressed the same as the two people at the entrance, and almost all of them came and went in a hurry.

Only after entering a secluded courtyard with a protective barrier did the woman in red yawn and speak again:

"Alright, there's no one else here, everyone can order whatever they like... Xinyu, you can arrange Ellie's accommodation. Xiaoya and I will go and rest now."

Before Ji Xinyu and Amelie could react, the woman in red transformed into a gust of cold wind that enveloped the old lich, and then they both vanished.

Ji Xinyu and Amelite looked at each other speechlessly for a few seconds before Ji Xinyu took Amelite's hand and hooked her finger around Amelite's palm:

"Come with me, senior sister, I'll arrange a room for you."

There are actually plenty of rooms. After all, the Red-Clad Woman and the Old Lich disappeared together. Who knows where they went to get intimate? Amelie could stay in any of the rooms in this courtyard.

Ji Xinyu arranged a room for Amelie that was right next to her own room.

"If you can't sleep tonight, feel free to come over next door and play with me anytime, senior sister~~"

Ji Xinyu blew a kiss, winked at Amelie, and then turned to leave.

"I'll wait for you until dawn."

Amelie was indeed quite interested in Ji Xinyu, the princess of the Tianyun Empire whom she had just met, but after all the commotion tonight, with less than two hours until dawn, she wanted to lie down for a while longer.

So Amelie ignored Ji Xinyu's invitation. After taking a shower and changing into a nightgown, she half-reclined against the headboard.

Once you reach the third stage of power, such as a Fusion Mage, it doesn't really matter whether you sleep or not.

 Amelie lay down for a while and found that although she was a little tired, she wasn't sleepy, and she figured she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

There was no way around it; I had received too much new information, and my mind was constantly in a state of excitement, unable to calm down.

So Amelie sat cross-legged again and entered a meditative state, using her magical perception to look at the jade tablet that the woman in red had given her, following the method the woman in red had previously told her.

It felt a bit like logging into an immersive virtual game. Amelie quickly felt a connection between herself and the jade tablet, and her consciousness entered a mysterious space. The space was surrounded by a lot of text that she could understand, which was the "Netherworld Soul Technique" written by the red-clothed man.

Not only text, but when Emerald stares at a certain text, a faceless little man will immediately appear next to her, gesturing various actions to demonstrate for Emerald.

...Immersive VR teaching?

After muttering something to herself, Emery began to watch with great interest.

However, after watching for a short while, Emery frowned.

The woman in red really wasn't lying to her; she probably wouldn't even be able to get the basics of the Netherworld Soul Technique.

Originally, Amelie was quite confident in herself. She had memories of her past life and was no stranger to the Eastern cultivation system, which was similar to immortality cultivation. She was also extremely talented and could quickly master anything she learned from childhood. She could even perfectly balance her understanding of science and magic.

But after actually trying to understand the Netherworld Soul Technique, Amelie discovered that it wasn't quite like that.
