Chapter 4034 The Song of the Purple Moon (85) — The Shame of the Empire!
Yuga returned, carrying a small earthenware jar in his hand—containing some granules that resembled a certain type of yellow honey pill.

And, a lingering, perhaps pungent, smell of blood.

Zhang Bolu frowned subconsciously: "You're injured?"

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask," Yuga said calmly. "Unless you meet my requirements."

Zhang Bolu shook his head, took the strange pills from Yu Jia's hand, and put them in his mouth without thinking—this old guy had hundreds of ways to kill himself, so there was nothing to worry about.

—It can also be seen as the credibility of the strong.

The medicine was indeed effective; Zhang Bolu felt its effects rapidly taking hold as soon as he swallowed it. "Where is [Xiang Feihu]? Why is there only one left outside?"

Yuga sat down on the chaise lounge in front of the fireplace. "There was a big rat outside the courtyard, it seemed to be some kind of maze, but it should be dealt with by now. As for your trusted confidante, I gave her the badge of a trainee gardener, she will naturally return when the time is right."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Bolu frowned and subconsciously asked, "You really have your eye on [Xiang Feihu]?"

“You can replace her too.” Yuga chuckled. “It doesn’t matter to me who she is. I can teach even a pig, let alone someone who values ​​her life… In this era, someone like her is truly a rare species!”

The Pirate King stared at Yuga in silence for a long while before beginning to neutralize the medicinal effects within his body and to heal his injuries.

Just then, the crow on the roof pried open the window itself, flew to Yuga's shoulder, and whispered, "Old man, your house has been broken into."

Yuga said indifferently, "Don't worry about her. If she can't learn [Willpower], then she's just a bunch of junk."

The crow added, "Before you came back, I saw her sneaking out of the house."

Yuga said softly, "I smelled it a long time ago, that slippery smell."

Because it simply doesn't care—if it did, it wouldn't have made the basement door so casually, and it certainly wouldn't have gone in right in front of Zhang Bolu.

Is this the Black Cat lady?

Zhang Bolu frowned. At the beginning, Lao Gui seemed to favor Ms. Black Cat more than Li Huamei... Could it be that Ms. Black Cat has some special qualities that he hasn't seen through?

"Mr. Yuga, Mr. Yuga, are you home?"

Just then, a sound came from outside.

Yuga, sitting on the chair, frowned, opened his eyes, and glanced at the crow beside him.

"It seems to be the administrator of the noble district," the crow mused. "Why would it come to the common district?"

……

But regardless of why the administrators of the noble district came, Yuga, as the administrator of the ordinary district, could not turn a blind eye—even if the two were not in a superior-subordinate relationship.

【Rambo】, an intelligent life form, in the long years of the courtyard, Yuga actually only had a handful of interactions with this noble district administrator... that is, both sides knew of each other's existence, but kept to themselves.

"Is there something you need?"

Rimbaud did not enter Yuga's hut, but stood outside the fence waiting quietly—at this moment, a crow perched on Yuga's shoulder, quite politely saying, "Greetings, Lord Rimbaud!"

Today's guests are the most distinguished guests of all... [Rimbaud] Ah, upon suddenly hearing this [Sir] address, I couldn't help but feel a little awed.

“It’s like this,” Rimbaud said solemnly, “Mr. Yuga, please come with me. His Highness wishes to see you!”

"Your Highness?" Yuga looked surprised and bewildered. "What Your Highness is this?"

[Rambo] immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute, bowed respectfully to the heavens, and solemnly said, "Of course it is the supreme Crown Prince of the Empire, His Highness the Crown Prince! Who else could it be! Mr. Yuga, let's not waste time, let's go!"

He's an old Manchu.

“Crown Prince…” Yu Jia’s expression was immediately shaken.

Even the raven perched on his shoulder almost fell off Yuga's shoulder.

“He… His Highness actually wants to see me, a…” Yuga murmured to himself, “a sinner? Why?”

"Why so many questions, Mr. Yuga? Stop dawdling!" [Rambo] urged again, "It wouldn't be good to keep His Highness waiting!"

"Wait a moment," Yuga said in a deep voice, taking a deep breath.

[Rambo] immediately exclaimed in a shrill voice, "Mr. Yuga, are you really going to keep His Highness waiting for you?!"

“I said, wait a moment!” Yuga’s voice turned somber.

It was as if a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood had instantly surged toward [Rambo]. This intelligent life form felt as if its life force was about to be frozen, and it almost crashed on the spot, unable to utter a single word.

All that remained in my mind was information about Yuga.

[The Apocalypse War] Hero, Imperial Viscount... Deputy Commander of the Independent Investigation Team... Sinner!
"Then, then you...you hurry up!"

The main theme is "from the heart"...

……

Inside the house, Yuga returned again, expressionless.

"What happened?" Zhang Bolu asked in confusion—because at this moment, the old ghost seemed to give off a vague sense of irritability.

"You can leave now," Yuga said calmly.

Zhang Bolu frowned. "Why? I want to try again. I'm confident I can make it through the sixth round this time!"

The trials leading to the noble district greatly promoted his improvement—Zhang Bolu felt that he had not yet fully tapped into the potential of the [Dragon Sparrow Breaking Formation Song] during its evolution.

"I told you, get lost!"

Then Yu Jia suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhang Bolu's body, throwing him directly outside the house!

"Old Ghost, you?!"

As the "King of Pirates," he had never been thrown like this before. No matter how well he recovered, he couldn't help but feel a surge of bloodlust!
The witch was immediately shocked!
She couldn't use the magical farm tools anymore, and could only play in the mud in the vegetable garden—she felt that there must be a big secret between these two, and it was guaranteed to be ripe!

Just as Miss Witch was about to get to the juicy gossip, a sense of coercion suddenly struck!

"You get out too!"

As soon as Yuga's voice rang out, the witch felt a sudden dizziness and was thrown out of the courtyard... beyond the "sea of ​​flowers"!
And the Pirate King was also expelled around the same time!

Looking at the enormous and magnificent flower sea of ​​light sphere before her, the witch couldn't help but gently pat her cheek. "What... what's going on? Why are they kicking people out like this?"

“This old devil, something must have happened…” Zhang Bolu frowned, deep in thought.

Clearly, it's related to the voice that called out "Old Ghost" just now.

The manager of the noble district?
Just then, a portal of light appeared, and the person who walked out was none other than Testarosa... herself.

"Oh, so you two have already come out."

Testarossa was taken aback at first, then smiled and looked at Ms. Black Cat. That little look made her heart skip a beat!

Oh no, this Testarossa is exceptionally dangerous, Zhang Bolu might not be able to protect me—in fact, it's uncertain whether Zhang Bolu will even protect me!
"Yes...yes, Your Highness, you're out too...Ahahaha, I was so worried about you!"

“Thank you for your concern. I’m fine.” Testarossa narrowed her eyes. “[Black Cat] Lady, when are you planning to reveal the whereabouts of my unfortunate female knight?”

"or……"

"Ok?"

"Right away!" The witch shuddered. "I hid the female knight outside... Don't worry, she's safe. I didn't touch her at all; I just put her to sleep."

Then, she frantically sent pleading glances at Zhang Bolu.

But the Pirate King seemed not to notice, and said indifferently, "Since you have things to attend to, then I will not keep you company. Lady Black Cat, come back quickly when you are done, and do not disgrace the Pirate Alliance."

—What the hell do I have to be so shameless?

"OK……"

……

……

……

……

The Royal Quarter, also the place where Testarossa picked the Cecilia flower.

[Rambo] and Yuga were at that moment meeting... The raven, too, had its wings pressed to the ground and its head buried.

As a former viscount who was first conferred a military title, Yuga maintained a dignified and respectful demeanor even during his audience with the emperor.

But this... is indeed the crown prince of the empire.

This military nobleman, who came from a humble background, may not have met all the members of the royal family—but this one is someone that the people of the empire will not be unfamiliar with.

“It really is you, Your Highness…” Yuga took a deep breath. “This sinner, Yuga, pays his respects to Your Highness! I never imagined I would see you return again! The glory of the Empire will indeed… be forged once more!”

Unlike his encounter with Schneizel, where he revealed even a trace of his aura as the agent of the Root, when Boss Lo saw this former war hero, his first thought was—like seeing E.T.

“I don’t remember anything from before.” Boss Luo thought for a moment and then used this as the starting point for the conversation. “I heard about you from Schneider.”

Upon hearing this, Yuga's expression changed slightly, but he then said frankly, "Yuga is indeed guilty."

Boss Luo asked, "Is there some hidden story?"

“There is no secret.” Yuga pressed his hands directly to the ground, his forehead against it. “All the charges against me by the Imperial Inquisition are absolutely true… Whether it was the murder of my comrades or the secret contact with the Void Asuras, these are heinous crimes that I committed and that cannot be forgiven!”

Slaughtering comrades?

[Rambo] Ah, his eyes widened in surprise—under Boss Luo's instructions, all he could find out was that Yuga had once colluded with the Void Asura!

Although it was indeed a taboo of the Empire, killing comrades was, in some ways, even more heinous!

A war hero, slaughtering his comrades... Is this abandoning all the glory he has accumulated with his life—as a soldier?
Boss Luo said calmly, "The empire is gone, there is no emperor, and there is no court of judgment. In the end, this courtyard is just a small fragment left behind in time, and no one will care about your so-called unforgivable crime anymore."

Yuga did not speak, but remained kneeling motionless.

"And so there are no laws anymore." But Boss Luo continued, "Without laws, there are naturally no punishments. Do you want freedom, Yuga?"

“Your Highness, what has trapped me has never been this courtyard,” Yuga replied loudly, displaying the demeanor of a warrior.

"What is that?"

"The sinner Yuga cannot leave the courtyard!" Yuga shouted again. "My soul has been corrupted by the Asura race, and my body is constantly decaying. Only by staying in the courtyard, with its special environment, can I barely slow down this decay."

Boss Luo glanced sideways.

Yuga raised its head and met its gaze... Finally, it calmly pulled open the clothes on its chest, revealing the source of decay at the location of its heart.

【hole】!
"Mr. Yuga, you...you actually!"

[Rambo] screamed almost uncontrollably... only then realizing that he was in front of His Highness, he quickly covered his mouth.

【Void Asura】, 【Root Demon】...the two top names on the Empire's blacklist!
But Boss Luo appeared unusually calm, so calm that Yuga felt it was unreal.

All that could be heard was Boss Luo pondering, "So, the King of Heaven pleaded for you, ultimately letting you serve your sentence here... just to use the power of the courtyard to help you suppress the reversal?"

"Perhaps," Yuga said, seemingly unsure. "Or perhaps it's just out of a sense of camaraderie... It is I who have failed the King's trust."

“He might not care at all, after all…” Boss Luo shook his head, but didn’t finish his sentence.

How can I tell this seemingly straightforward former war hero that his prince is actually a [Root Demon]...and one of the top ones, while his former leader and good superior, the King of Heaven, is also a [Root Demon] and a [Forbidden Apostle]?
"Has Your Highness met General Fuxi?"

Yuga, however, keenly sensed something, and a glimmer of hope seemed to flash in his eyes.

"I suppose so," Boss Luo said casually, "but it was just a brief meeting... He's quite busy."

Yuga seemed relieved, muttering to himself, "As expected, the King survived too. That's good, that's good..."

“Let’s not talk about him anymore.” Boss Luo interrupted Yuga’s reminiscence, and after thinking for a moment, said, “Regarding your affair with the Void Asura… Schneizel said that it was because you fell in love with a Void Asura, is that true?”

—Holy crap?
[Ranbo] It feels like there are just too many juicy stories to tell today—it's a pity I can't livestream them in the work group!
This former war hero is defying the heavens! He's even managed to fall in love with the Void Asura!

"Yes." Yuga was still very honest.

"Was that Void Asura a manifestation of your former lover?"

“No, before this, I had no one I loved.” Yuga shook his head. “It was a wrong beginning, and it ended in utter ruin.”

Do you regret it?

"No! It's only because I truly loved!"

"So, it seems the court's verdict wasn't unjust after all?"

"Yoga, you sinner, confess your sins!"

"..." Boss Luo couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, "Who is this Shura?"

"【The Thirteenth Asura】, Maggie!"

"Does it love you too?" Boss Luo suddenly asked, as if showing great interest.

Yuga paused for a moment, then took a deep breath. "No! The Thirteenth Asura probably only sees me as food! I've been chasing after it relentlessly, unable to extricate myself!"

Rimbaud stared wide-eyed... How could this Mr. Yuga give such unexpected and confident answers?

If His Highness hadn't been there in person, I, Rimbaud, would have definitely cursed him out a few times!
Bah! You old bootlicker! You traitor to the emperor! A disgrace to the empire!
