Hearing that mechanical voice, which did not seem masculine nor feminine, Gu Zhu left his house but not before putting his late father's letter inside his backpack.
As soon as I left my house I saw several people walking the streets. Some were chatting happily and others were walking towards work.
I sighed as I looked at the sun lying in the sky, then I walked for several hours and stopped when I entered a forest. Immediately, I took out a dagger from my backpack and began to go deeper into the forest.
I only had to walk for a few moments and I came across a demonic lizard that was seriously injured. Immediately, I charged towards him and ended his life very easily.

Next, I decided to continue advancing and kill the remaining demonic beasts. It only took me a few hours to complete the mission. I was currently resting on a tree while looking at the corpses of the demonic lizards that died in my hands.

By reading the new mission I determined my new move.
"It's time to return to the Zhulu Empire." After saying that, I removed the pills from the inventory and ate them one by one. Immediately, the impurities in my body began to come out while an instant of pain ran through my bones.

Feeling the new power that runs through my body I began to laugh before walking away from this place. As soon as I returned home, I took a bath and prepared dinner since when I arrived in the city the sun was already setting.
The next day, I left this city and began my journey towards the capital of the Zhulu Empire.
The trip took more than a month, but the moment I arrived at the castle I was stopped by some guards. I explained to them that I knew the Emperor, but they did not believe me and tried to throw me out of this place.
Naturally, I defended myself and defeated them even though they have a higher cultivation level. Fortunately, the Emperor appeared and I handed him the letter.
When he read it he started to cry and took me inside the castle. There he told me about his stories with my father and also told me about his daughter and even showed me her photos.
When I saw her photos I was surprised, because she was very beautiful, more beautiful than that woman who broke my heart. At that moment, a strong will arose within me telling me that I must make her my woman no matter the price.
Getting her to give me her heart will be difficult, but not impossible since I have the support of my father-in-law.
