Eternal life begins with saving my clan

Inside the Li mansion, Li Wei groggily woke up from her unconscious state. A groan escaped from her mouth as she felt pain coursing throughout her body.

Just then, she noticed the ethereal young man sitting under the pavilion, drinking tea gracefully.

"Ah!"

She cried in panic and jumped back in fright. Instantly, the scene of what had happened previously flooded into her mind.

She trembled, and blood leaked from the corner of her mouth as her injury relapsed.

Her face was pallid, and her chest rose and fell in trepidation.

"Come here." She heard Su Yen's voice in her mind.

"Ahhhh!"

With her face covered in despair, she searched for someone to save her.

Right now, this handsome young man was the last person she wanted to see.

"I won't repeat myself."

Left with no choice, she dragged her heavy footsteps forward unwillingly.

She stopped a couple of meters from Su Yen and lowered her head in trepidation.

Just standing a couple of meters from Su Yen was already giving her the sensation of death.

Any closer, and she might faint once again.

"I won't kill you but will make you my maid," Su Yen declared slowly.

"Your first job as my maid is to make a list of all the families that treat humans like animals in the city."

"Arrange them by how savagely they act toward their slaves. Also, you're not excluded from the list."

When Li Wei heard this, she shivered and nodded. Without waiting, she turned to leave his presence.

Just then, the door to the courtyard opened, and her mother entered, dragging a man with her. Read exclusive chapters at empire

"Madam Li, are you really not concerned about my family?" Boss Hao threatened.

Casually, Madam Li threw him forward without any change in her expression.

From the corner of her eye, she saw her daughter was alive, and a sigh of relief escaped from her mouth.

Li Wei wanted to call for her mother but noticed the solemn expression on her face. She held back the impulse and left with her head lowered.

From this, she knew the strange handsome man she had brought home had taken over her family.

Filled with regret, tears dripped from the corners of her eyes.

Inside the courtyard, Boss Hao had already gotten back on his feet, dusting off the dirt from his expensive silk robe, and looked at Madam Li hatefully.

"This isn't over," he said coldly.

However, the look on Madam Li's face told a different story. Deep in her eyes, he could see fear and wondered what could make such a proud woman fearful.

It was at that moment he noticed the strange young man sitting in the pavilion.

"Boss Hao, we meet once again."

Hearing the familiar voice, a cold shiver ran down Boss Hao's spine.

"H-How..." Boss Hao stuttered and looked at Su Yen with wide eyes.

Just as he was wondering what was happening, Su Yen waved his hand, and terrifying sword qi came and severed Boss Hao's arm.

"Ahhhhh!"

A miserable scream of anguish escaped from Boss Hao. Looking at his severed arm on the ground, Boss Hao was terrified, fear marring his face.

Now he understood why the proud Madam Li did not care about his family's threats.

There was a greater threat sitting in their courtyard that she couldn't afford to offend.

Previously, he thought lady luck was on his side when he found Su Yen, but now, he did not have that thought.

"Make another sound, and you will lose another arm."

Instantly, Boss Hao covered his mouth with his remaining arm, trembling vehemently.

"I won't kill you for now. I want all the space crystals from the mine. Before today ends, I want five thousand space crystals before me. Else..."

"Y-Your... My..." Boss Hao was terrified that he was unsure how to address Su Yen.

"Your Majesty..." Su Yen corrected him.

"Ahem... Your Majesty, I will get it done immediately."

With that, Su Yen waved his hand and sent him flying out of the courtyard.

Outside the Li mansion, a body fell from the sky, crashing to the cold hard ground.

"Ahhhhh!"

Boss Hao's miserable scream filled the quiet street, and a few passersby looked at him in shock and confusion.

Boss Hao struggled to get on his feet, blood gushing out from his mouth, nose, and severed arm.

His previously expensive silk robe was covered in blood and was difficult to recognize in his current state.

Without caring about the strange gazes directed at him, Boss Hao sauntered toward his family mansion with the last bit of strength he could summon.

Inside the courtyard, Madam Li looked at Su Yen with fear marring her face.

Su Yen's short display of strength had already affirmed her belief that Su Yen was not someone to trifle with.

Turning to look at her, Su Yen asked in an icy voice, "Is there any secret I need to know about this city? If I find out from other families, I won't hesitate to decimate your entire family."

When she heard this, she trembled and quickly told him the deepest secret of Blue Crystal City known to a few.

They might be living on an isolated star, but years of exploration and many random people appearing on the space transmission stage proved there was a world beyond their star.

Two decades ago, they managed to find a space gate that led outside their isolated star.

However, no matter who they sent, none of them made it through the chaotic space gate.

Hearing such a deep secret, Su Yen creased his brow for a moment before he turned to look at the courtyard entrance.

"What are you doing staying outside? Do you want me to kill one of you before you enter?"

Instantly, the door was pushed open, and two old men rushed inside, their faces contorted in fear and panic.

Madam Li looked at her husband in relief and shifted her gaze to the other old man.

He was the patriarch of the Sun family.

Without caring about the identity of the second old man, Su Yen asked, "How was it?"

"Your High..."

"Your Majesty..." Su Yen corrected sharply.

"Ah yes, yes... Your Majesty, the city lord has agreed to meet you in three days' time."

"So be it. In three days' time, I shall meet her."
