Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 623 - 43: Secrets of the Empress’s Court

Watching Rose skip away, Lin Rui practically gritted his teeth.

Chasing geese all his life, and in the end, he was blinded by one!

Lin Rui never thought that he, who considered himself smart and wise, meticulous in thought, would ultimately be played by this thousand-year-old little girl.

Indeed, as people age, they become more cunning. Living over a thousand years, even without much experience, one gains some intelligence.

Desire brings suffering, but absence of desire brings strength.

She has no desires, her mood is light, and Lin Rui truly has no way to deal with her.

No matter what Lin Rui promised her, she was dismissive, having no secrets she wished to uncover from Lin Rui.

In their verbal duel, they quickly arrived at the Celestial Prison of the Elf Imperial Court.

Guarding the prison wasn’t an Elf Guard but a massive serpent lying above the gate.

Looking at the intensity of its Spiritual Reaction, Lin Rui felt this kind of guard had an aura of absolute invincibility.

If it wanted to kill Lin Rui, it wouldn’t be much harder than the guards in the Golden Pansy Domain killing an Explorer within their territory.

And upon perceiving Lin Rui’s gaze, it opened its golden eyes, lowered its head, and opened its bloody maw, confronting Lin Rui: "Rose, I felt his lethal threat towards me just now. Do you really want to bring him into the prison?"

Smelling its fishy breath, Lin Rui’s anger unknowingly surged, he retorted unceremoniously: "You’re so smelly, keep away from me!"

The serpent instantly roared in fury, "Arrogant insect, I’ll devour you!"

Rose quickly stepped sideways to protect Lin Rui, blocking the serpent’s giant mouth, and said, "Lord Leidun, this is a distinguished guest invited by the Empress to the Royal Court. You cannot harm him. The Empress’s order has surely reached you, please open the prison and let us enter."

Leidun the snake roared angrily, "Rose, do you dare to thwart me? Get out of the way, at least let me bite off half his body. Or be careful, I might bite you off too."

Rose directly drew her sword, the Sword of Oath with Elf Blessing, its golden light dazzling as she pointed it at the serpent’s vital spot: "Leidun, back down immediately! Or don’t blame me for being impolite."

Leidun suddenly coiled his body, his enormous head curling up, indicating not fear, but readiness to attack.

Rose had to hold her sword with both hands, confronting seriously, meanwhile complaining to Lin Rui, "Why are you so hot-tempered? Why provoke it?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Why such a temper?

Lin Rui had been annoyed by the arrogance of the Elf Royal Court for a long time.

Relying on their strength, they command disrespectfully, manipulating anyone within their grasp.

In this situation, Lin Rui had shown considerable restraint by enduring it till now.

With the elves’ arrogance and self-importance, probably nobody could coexist with them harmoniously.

That’s tolerable for humans, but even a snake dares to approach, stinking, getting close to his nose.

If his strength were enough, Lin Rui would surely kick it away.

Which normal person would permit a snake to come close?

Likely they’d react intensely at a distance of two or three meters.

Leidun also coldly roared, "I knew you elves couldn’t be trusted, now you’re ready to use swords on me? Trying to cut me up? Then come on!"

With that, it lunged fiercely, venom surging violently, engulfing both Rose and Lin Rui within its range of attack.

"Alas!" A sigh was heard, as another druid emerged from the tree trunk, using the World Tree’s leaves to shield Rose, completely defending against Leidun’s attack.

Rose joyously said, "Starlight Sage, you have arrived? Please teach this arrogant stinking snake a lesson."

Starlight was much younger than Nebula, his hair was still emerald green, he waved his hand, and vines of the World Tree surged, directly tying Leidun up, frostily saying, "Leidun, you dare disobey the Empress’s decree! Attacking the Empress’s guest! By law, execute waist-cutting."

Leidun struggled madly, "Treacherous elves, usurping our forest’s royalty, if not for your control over the World Tree, what right have you to be so blatant."

Starlight coldly clutching his right hand, the World Tree’s vines instantly sliced, cutting Leidun’s body into two segments, waist-cut in half.

The stinking snake’s blood sprayed like a fountain, splattering across the entire courtyard.

Here seemed to transform into a slaughterhouse, blood and flesh sprawled grotesquely.

Lin Rui’s eyes shone brightly, he said, "Oh! It’s not dead yet! Let me help you finish it. Trust my ability, it can be crushed into ashes."

Starlight turned his head with a murderous intent, looking down at Lin Rui, said, "Human pest, you’d better be careful! The Empress’s favor isn’t the capital for you to act recklessly. Next time, if this happens again, I’ll make sure you pay the price."

Thoroughly threatening Lin Rui, Starlight then left with a lethal aura.

Rose pulled Lin Rui’s arm, swiftly departing the blood-sprayed courtyard, entering the dungeon, saying, "Don’t provoke the Starlight Sage, among all sages, Starlight Sage is the youngest and also the most assertive. He’s always decisive in executing, even if he killed you, the Empress wouldn’t hold him much accountable."

"Why? Is he the Empress’s paramour?" Lin Rui snapped. The last one to speak to Lin Rui in such a tone, the grass at their tomb should be three feet tall by now.

Lin Rui genuinely wishes for five hundred more years!

With five hundred years, any Starlight, Nebula, would be nothing but ants to be swept away.
