NOVEL NEXT Chapter 62 - 62 Fake Xu Yuan
62 Fake Xu Yuan
“W-what happened?” Su Wan looked at the familiar place. She was stunned.
“Shouldn’t we be in the Dark Dragon King’s spiritual world?”
Su Wan looked around and discovered that they were still in the same place they had been before: the Overlord plane near their territory!
However, there was no longer the domineering Dark Dragon King, as well as the countless Lords who had surrounded and attacked the Dark Dragon King.
There were no more overlords and no Dark Dragon King. It was as if this Overlord Plane had suddenly turned peaceful.
Su Wan was terrified because it was so quiet!
“Linglong, where are you? Xu Yuan? Can you hear me?”
There was no longer the lively and mischievous Shi Linglong in Su Wan’s vicinity. Xu Yuan was also no longer around. It was as if the entire world was empty.
“Xu Yuan!” Su Wan shouted again.
Maybe Shi Linglong could not hear her, but Xu Yuan was her hero. She had a special connection with him. If Xu Yuan was around, he would have heard her.
Su Wan, on the other hand, shouted for a long time and received no response from Xu Yuan.
“That lazy bum, could he have found a place to continue sleeping?” Su Wan took a few deep breaths. She followed the familiar road and returned to her territory.
When Su Wan returned to this familiar location, she discovered that it was no longer her own territory. Her original territory was deserted, as if it had never been mined.
“The territory is gone. Xu Yuan is gone too! Is this all a dream? Is this the cruel reality?”
Because of her strong psychological qualities, Su Wan was able to calm down and think clearly when confronted with danger and various problems. But the current Su Wan had no way of remaining calm.
Xu Yuan was no longer here, nor was Shi Linglong. In fact, she didn’t see anyone at all. It was as if she was the only person remaining in this world.
Just as her heart sank, a dark figure appeared in front of her, “Xu Yuan?”
Su Wan looked around. That familiar figure was Xu Yuan. But he was in a terrible state at the time. He was covered in bruises and was limping.
He raised his head and looked at her. “My Lord! I finally found you!”
It was as if his greatest wish in life had been to see Su Wan before he died. Su Wan was very worried. It was the first time she had seen him like this.
The Xu Yuan that Su Wan knew only liked to sleep all day and night. He never fought on the battlefield. That was why she had assumed that Xu Yuan wasn’t very good at combat.
It was strange for her to see Xu Yuan like this. Seeing him this way made her feel angry. Her heart ached when she saw him injured.
Initial Heroes meant a lot to every Lord. Initial Heroes were considered the purest form of praise for the Lord.
With continuous effort, the Lord and the heroes could get stronger together. The Lord might then choose to contract a stronger hero, but the Initial Hero assigned to the Lord would always be special.
“My Lord, we appear to have entered a strange space.”
Although Xu Yuan was injured severely, he still tried to report to Su Wan about the situation. The entire space was strange. For some reason, everything was the same as the Overlord Plane but felt entirely different.
However, Su Wan sensed that the rules of the Overlord Plane didn’t apply here. That was how she knew she was in a different dimension.
“I know. It’s very likely that this is the Dark Dragon King’s Dream!” Su Wan explained in a gentle voice. This was the first time she had spoken this softly.
When she mentioned the Dark Dragon King, Xu Yuan’s face suddenly froze. Su Wan lowered her head.
The sound of footsteps from afar abruptly brought Su Wan back to reality. The orderly footsteps were close together. There were a lot of people approaching!
Su Wan raised her head to see a woman leading a swarm of Half-Dragon Warriors to surround them.
“Don’t even think of hurting the Lord!” Xu Yuan limped and blocked their path to her.
The white-haired woman stared at them coldly.
She spoke slowly, “All the outsiders who trespass on the secret realm are to be captured!”
A swarm of half-dragons rushed towards Su Wan. Xu Yuan, who was trying to protect Su Wan, was taken down by a Half-Drago Man.
“My Lord, run!” Xu Yuan desperately shouted at her.
The white-haired woman saw this and questioned Su Wan icily, “Run? Are you really going to abandon your hero and escape alone? Your poor hero is hurt. Even with such injuries, he only wants to protect you.”
The white-haired woman goaded Su Wan as though she was afraid that Su Wan might really escape.
Su Wan’s head was still lowered. “Enough!” she shouted. “I don’t know who you are. It’s time to end this farce. He isn’t Xu Yuan at all!”
Su Wan bit her lips. She felt conflicted. From the moment this imposter had called her “My Lord”, Su Wan had been certain that this Xu Yuan was a fake.
Su wan, on the other hand, did not expose him right away. He looked and sounded like Xu Yuan, so she had kept quiet. At that moment, she was confused.
The real Xu Yuan never called her “My Lord”. He would never call her that. The fake Xu Yuan pretended to care for her, but the real Xu Yuan would never act like this.
Her doubts got stronger as the white-haired woman approached.
“You can use anything to deceive me, and I might be fooled,” said Su Wan. “But you can’t use him!”
Su Wan’s eyes were filled with rage. She did not know why she felt so angry. Even if the imposter was pretending to be Shi Linglong or Lin Yao, she wouldn’t have felt this angry. But the imposter had chosen to pretend to be Xu Yuan.
“In this life, no one can trick me except him!” Su Wan was above Level 20. She was powerful. She realized that the white-haired woman and the fake Xu Yuan were in league with each other.
His purpose was to pretend to be Xu Yuan and make her give in.
“What is this place?” asked Su Wan icily. “And who are you?”
