Samsara Online

The mansion in which Xie Feng currently resided in this world was built in the past by the best craftsmen the King of the North had at his disposal. After all, that mansion had initially been built for one of the four kings of all Adastreia Continent to spend his old age days when it was time for him to leave the throne in the hands of his heir.

As king, the King of the North would naturally not treat himself badly. Although the place where he probably spent most of his time, his office, was relatively simple and without extravagant decorations, this did not mean that King Hu Yi did not enjoy luxuries.

Therefore, in addition to building an extremely luxurious mansion that anyone would drool over, the property currently owned by Xie Feng also had many exquisite fruit plants. In the mansion’s garden, there were even some fruits that temporarily boosted one’s stats, offering different bonuses for a short period of time.

However, it had already been about a month since Xie Feng obtained the right of possession over the mansion, and after a month of consumption and neglect, the plants were simply there as useless decorations.

Precisely for this reason, Xie Feng really hoped that Yue Qingyu would accept his invitation. That way, not only would his mansion’s plantings receive the care they deserved, but he would also be helping this little family; especially Shui Wuhen, someone Xie Feng really appreciated.

"How about you and little Wuhen move to Eminentis City?" Xie Feng proposed in a warm voice. "My house is really big and there are more than thirty rooms free at the moment."

Hearing Xie Feng’s obvious invitation, Shui Wuhen’s pretty eyes sparkled like two beautiful pearls and the sadness she felt a moment ago seemed to disappear as if a strong gale had swept it away completely.

However, Yue Qingyu hesitated. To begin with, she already felt indebted to the young man in front of her, and now that he was offering her such a generous invitation, she would only feel worse if she accepted.

Fortunately, Xie Feng was a smart young man and had already planned his next words, "Auntie, don’t misunderstand me. I’m not asking you to do it for free as I know such a thing will only make you feel uncomfortable. In return, you can clean the house and take care of the garden."

Although Xie Feng was talking about cleaning, actually cleaning in this world was much simpler and easier than in the real world. Due to the existence of the system and magic, as long as a person had the necessary skills, he or she only needed to press a button as if inspecting a new item or use a skill to clean a part of the house.

Even taking care of the plants was no different. Therefore, the reality was that Yue Qingyu would only need to spend an hour or two every day to keep everything in perfect condition and the rest of the day she would be completely free to enjoy with her daughter.

"Mom! Please say yeeeesss~!" Shui Wuhen couldn’t help but run to her mother as she saw her mother hesitate. She shook her arm gently as she looked at her with lost puppy eyes.

Seeing her little daughter look at her with those eyes and seeing Xie Feng’s sincere gaze, Yue Qingyu finally sighed and nodded softly, "Alright... We, mother and daughter, will accept your kindness once again."

Since the young man in front of her had good intentions, Yue Qinyu decided to accept. She was really tired of living such a hard life. But most of all, she feared for her daughter’s future.

"Yaaay!" Shui Wuhen exclaimed loudly as she raised both arms in victory. She rushed to Xie Feng and jumped into his arms like a happy little bird returning to its nest after so long.

Xie Feng was also happy and seeing the overflowing joy of the little girl in his arms, he could not help but laugh too.

When Yue Qingyu saw this, her expression became a little puzzled. This was because Shui Wuhen was actually not as friendly as she seemed; many children of Eternal Wind City invited her to play countless times in the past, but Shui Wuhen did not seem interested in that. On the contrary, she kept staring at nothingness as if she were an old woman appreciating the beauties of life in her later years. This was another of Yue Qinyu’s concerns.

However, seeing Shui Wuhen acting so clingy with a person she barely knew, Yue Qingyu felt really confused. At the same time, she sighed in relief and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

-Eminentis City, King’s Palace.

Currently, the King of the North was in his office signing several documents. As a king, not everything was luxuries and pleasures. On the contrary, his life was quite busy and he usually had no free time for himself.

From settling disputes between ordinary citizens and responding to the request of some nobles to attending to the surrounding cities within his area of jurisdiction.

Bang!

Suddenly the office door was opened loudly and fiercely. King Hu Yi almost fell off his chair when he was taken by surprise as this was the first time in his entire reign that a person not only entered his workplace disrespectfully but also opened the door so rampantly.

Just as he was about to break out in fury, the face of an old man with unkempt hair and an unkempt beard entered into his line of sight. The fury he felt immediately subsided and with a serious expression he asked, "What happened?"

"Your majesty! It’s not good! Definitely not good!" The old man ran forward so carelessly that he nearly fell to the ground several times.

Seeing this, King Hu Yi’s face sank and he quickly stood up to support the old man.

The old man’s full name was unknown, however, everyone in the palace had heard the king refer to him as ’Uncle Fu’. Moreover, the king seemed to be very cordial to this old man so wherever he wanted to go no one would stop him or turn a blind eye; it was precisely because of this that the old man managed to enter the king’s office as if it were his own home.

"Uncle Fu, please sit down and explain." King Hu Yi frowned slightly and helped the old man to sit down.

However, as if he had been possessed by some evil entity, Uncle Fu directly slapped the king’s hand and shook his head fiercely as he took out a strange map and shifted it on the desk without caring about the scattered papers.

Instead of getting angry, King Hu Yi had a bad premonition so with an extremely serious expression he followed the old man’s every move. Instantly he realized that the map was actually a map that only showed the north of the Adastreia Continent but with slight differences.

The old man began to mutter some kind of incantation and the map began to illuminate. Several seconds later, almost the entire map had an exquisite golden brightness.

Almost all of it, except for one area that had turned a blackish purple color. It was like an extremely ominous evil cloud and just by looking at it, King Hu Yi knew it couldn’t be something good.

"Just a moment ago, the spatial energy around this area was influenced by some kind of power!" The elder exclaimed as he pointed towards the ominous-looking cloud, "That place is just a few kilometers from here, Eternal Wind City! Something terrible is coming!"

"Something terrible? Uncle Fu, please be a little more specific!" King Hu Yi couldn’t help but raise his voice slightly.

"Something scary enough to annihilate mankind!" The old man exclaimed before his voice became as soft as a shadowy whisper, "Unless Goddess Mei Hen herself appears in person, even His Majesty the Emperor cannot defeat this creature."

King Hu Yi’s face turned white as a sheet when he heard this. If it wasn’t because he had to maintain his kingly attitude at all times, he would probably have collapsed on the ground by now.

An existence that the Human Emperor could not defeat and only Goddess Mei Hen could face... Other than a Saint level powerhouse, what else could it be then?

However, forget about whether or not the Goddess Mei Hei could really win... Mankind had not seen their Goddess Protector for countless years; even King Hu Yi had never seen her in his entire life.

Therefore, counting on her appearance was simply a meaningless dream. Waiting for the arrival of someone who had been missing for over a millennium was no different from sitting and waiting for the arrival of death itself.

If it were any ordinary person, upon receiving such news they would probably collapse mentally and their body would not respond to any movement. After all, the news King Hu Yi had just received was no different from confirming that a black hole was slowly but surely approaching planet Earth.

However, he was not one of the Four Great Kings for nothing.

Although it was not sure if the other three kings would do the same, each one of them had their own values.

The King of the North took out a mana stone with slightly quivering hands and commanded in a deep voice: " Summon the Golden Army and take them to the teleportation array... Today, even if the last of us has to fall, we definitely have to buy time for our people!"
