 **Chapter 1421: Something Seems Off!**

At the trading center, Yu Qing was leisurely sitting at the central counter, resting her chin in her hands, lost in thought. Most of the time, transactions at the trading center were self-service, and even if staff were needed, there were plenty available. It was rare for anyone to bother her, so Yu Qing was mostly idle.

A shadow loomed over the counter as someone approached.

Yu Qing looked up and was startled by the sight. The person had a fierce look, as if ready to eat someone.

Yu Qing was so frightened that her face turned pale, "You, what do you want?"

Lin Moyu was also taken aback by Yu Qing's reaction. Was he really that scary?

When he had seen Chihuo, he did feel that Chihuo looked a bit fierce, but he was actually a good person.

Lin Moyu said, "I'm looking for Yu Zhu."

Yu Qing regained her composure, calmed her mind, and refused, "Miss Yu Zhu is busy. If you need to make a large transaction, I can arrange for another trader to assist you."

Lin Moyu asked, "Is Yu Zhu very busy? I can wait."

Yu Qing shook her head, "No need to wait. Miss Yu Zhu will not trade with you."

Seeing her firm attitude, Lin Moyu roughly guessed the reason, "Miss Yu Qing, take a look at who I am." He temporarily activated his Human Emperor Network permissions, revealing his name.

"What's there to see?"

Yu Qing muttered. She had been startled at first and hadn't looked at Lin Moyu properly since.

Lin Moyu's appearance was too frightening, not just ugly, but genuinely terrifying.

Now, hearing Lin Moyu's words, Yu Qing reluctantly looked over, and her beautiful eyes widened instantly.

"You are..." She quickly covered her mouth, "So it's Mr. Lin. Miss Yu Zhu is waiting for you in the usual place. I'll arrange it right away."

Lin Moyu smiled slightly, "Thank you."

In the courtyard at the back, Lin Moyu arrived at the usual place.

The pavilion was the same as before, and Yu Zhu hadn't changed much in the past two years. She still exuded an air of nobility, maturity, and elegance. Only those who knew her well would know that much of Yu Zhu's demeanor was an act. She was actually very lively, like a little girl, and sometimes even a bit mischievous.

Seeing Lin Moyu, Yu Zhu let out a bell-like laugh, her clear and melodious laughter echoing from the pavilion.

"Captain, why do you look like this?"

She held her stomach, laughing so hard she almost fell over, completely losing her previous noble demeanor.

Lin Moyu helplessly entered the pavilion and removed the concealment mask, returning to his original appearance.

Only his clothes couldn't be changed for now, and with Lin Moyu's appearance, his refined look now had a touch of wildness. Yu Zhu stopped laughing, her eyes sparkling, "Captain, I think you look great dressed like this."

Lin Moyu joked with her, "Are you saying I didn't look good before?"

Yu Zhu quickly shook her head, "I didn't say that. If you take it that way, there's nothing I can do."

Lin Moyu chuckled, picked up a teacup, and took a sip, savoring the cool tea fragrance, "I find that only when I come to your place can I enjoy a good cup of tea."

He was usually too busy, either cultivating, killing, or on the way to do either, with no time to relax.

Since entering the great world, it had always been like this.

Only when he came to Yu Zhu's place could he steal a moment of leisure, making him feel like he was back in the few years after his marriage in the small world.

Yu Zhu smiled, "In that case, Captain, you should come more often. I'll always be waiting for you."

Lin Moyu's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't respond.

When Yu Zhu said this, her face also showed a hint of blush, and she quickly changed the subject, "Captain, I really think you look even better after ascending to God King."

Lin Moyu had returned to his original appearance, naturally exuding an indescribable noble aura. It was the aura of the God King Golden Body, something ordinary God Kings did not possess. Yu Zhu didn't understand, but she was very perceptive and truly felt the change in Lin Moyu. She had seen many God Kings and even God Sovereigns, but none were like Lin Moyu. Yu Zhu felt herself being drawn in, her gaze firmly captured by an invisible force.

Lin Moyu smiled, "Two years apart, your flattery has improved. Any new information?"

Yu Zhu became slightly serious, "Captain, didn't you read my messages?"

She reminded him solemnly, "Messages in the Human Emperor Network."

Lin Moyu laughed, "I really didn't notice."

Unlike those born in the great world, who were accustomed to using the Human Emperor Network, Lin Moyu, coming from a small world, didn't rely on it much.

He wasn't familiar with many of its functions and didn't usually check messages there.

If it were someone from the great world, the first thing they would do upon returning to Fortress No. 1 would be to check their messages in the Human Emperor Network.

Yu Zhu urged, "Then check it now."

Lin Moyu, not embarrassed, immediately checked.

He didn't have many friends in the Human Emperor Network, fewer than ten, and rarely received messages.

The last ten messages were all from Yu Zhu, each detailing changes in the battlefield situation.

Lin Moyu read them one by one, from the oldest to the most recent.

A year ago, the human race and the demons went to war, starting in War Zone No. 7 for unknown reasons, seemingly related to a significant loss for the demons.

Lin Moyu guessed it was related to him.

During his mission to find the military star map, he had nearly wiped out the entire demon army, with only Commander Augustus escaping.

Such a huge loss led to the complete annihilation of the demon main force in War Zone No. 7. Naturally, the demons blamed the humans, so war was inevitable.

The human race was never afraid of the demons. If they wanted to fight, the humans would fight.

As the war began, it gradually spread outward.

Later, War Zones No. 6 and No. 8 also went to war.

Overall, the human race had more victories than defeats, generally not suffering much.

Half a year ago, the Golden Eagle Clan suddenly intervened.

They fought the human race in War Zones No. 5 and No. 9, coming in fiercely and putting great pressure on the humans.

Strangely, the Golden Eagle Clan and the demons did not fight each other. Instead, they seemed to be joining forces against the humans.

The human race was still unafraid, continuously sending reinforcements from the star domain.

Three months ago, a war also broke out outside the battlefield in the Vermilion Bird Star Domain.

This time, the humans took the initiative to attack the demons and the Golden Eagle Clan.

Reading through the messages, Lin Moyu realized that this war seemed related to him and also to the Four-Star Domain Competition.

The Black Hole Serpent incident in War Zones No. 7-77 was the initial spark.

Later, the Yellow Earth Desert incident caused even more losses for the demons.

However, Lin Moyu wasn't concerned about the war. Similar wars had been fought countless times and would eventually end, having little impact on either side.

The whole process seemed more like a training exercise.

Lin Moyu was more concerned about his tasks.

Among the ten messages, two mentioned that six of the top ten enemies on the Vermilion Bird bounty list had entered the Vermilion Bird battlefield.

But these two messages were from over half a year ago and were outdated.

The most recent message, from ten days ago, stated that nine of the top ten enemies on the Vermilion Bird bounty list had entered the Vermilion Bird battlefield.

"This seems a bit off."
