We Are Uninvited Guests

"This is the ice palace, sir, welcome, even if you're not allowed to stay here permanently." Olva had specifically asked Admon to show hir around, and the moment he stepped off the Phoenix's back, she rushed to help him. If the former crown princess of the Fire Empire, one of the 150 largest empires in the world, was treating him like this, there must be something wrong with this man.

"You are very kind, please accept my humble gift." As Admon said this, he reached into his inventory and pulled out two vials. From the others' point of view, it looked like a piercing of space; every time Admon opened his inventory to take something out, the stars and planets could be seen in the vast expanse where he had stuck his hand in. That's why the seven and the surrounding servants were standing there, quite puzzled and trying to figure out what was going on.

"Th....thank you sir." Olva gently took the bottles and opened the lids. As soon as the caps of the bottles were opened, an incredibly high ice qi spread around and the palace started to cool down. Realising that the servants were struggling, Olva quickly closed the lids and stared at Admon as his astonishment grew.

"They're not very good pills, but they can make an ordinary person susceptible to ice qi, so there's no harm in using them, I guess...." 

What Admon said sounded unbelievable, a person was born predisposed to whatever element or elements they were born with, they would die that way, it was impossible to change that.... right?

"Th...thank you, sir." Olva immediately lifted the pills into her spatial ring and then bowed and said, "Forgive our impertinence, but it is impossible for you to see the Empress." Admon turned to Petunia and tried to understand what was going on, and Petunia seemed as surprised as he was.

"Auntie? Did something happen to sister Lissandra?" Petunia had jumped forward and questioned in an impolite way, whenever Petunia came to the empire, the Empress personally greeted her and stood with her. In fact, the Empress loved Petunia, whom she regarded as her little sister, so much that she let her into her room where no one else could enter and even agreed to sleep with her.

Petunia knew that she had a special place in the Ice Empire and if the Empress, Lissandra, did not come to see her, something must have been wrong.

Olva looked around and saw that the servants were also looking at her with curiosity and sadness, moreover, it was impossible to share personal items and the like when a man was inside the palace.

The rule of the ice palace, "No male may enter or know anything", is one of the rules that has existed for thousands of years. That's why even though Olva respected Admon for taming the phoenix, she was still hesitant to say anything in front of him.

"It doesn't matter, everyone has their own rules. The only reason I came here is that the empire is famous for its music, so when Petunia suggested this place, I accepted." Admon admitted that there was no shortage of ways to reassure the people around, and then added, "I would still be grateful if you could give me a place to stay, even if it is outside the palace."

Olva bowed to Admon with great relief. She thought Admon was an alchemist, just the smell of the pills alone told her that his rank had passed the mortal world, just a glance told her that he was immortal. If he were to anger her, it would only be a matter of time before the entire empire was wiped out.

"Forgive our rudeness, our rules were like this even before our empire was founded." Olva said gently and saw Admon's expression, a languid expression that seemed to hide a lot.

"I know, I remember all the troubles you went through when you were a small city and this place was tiny, don't worry, I will respect your rules." With that Admon bowed to the servant who had come to him and began to follow the servant's respectful lead.

At that very moment, Mery changed from bird form to human form, and her expression and bloodthirstiness began to shake the entire palace. Mery had blood so perfect that it was out of this world. Mery's blood was not like the blood of a dragon, a phoenix, a qilin, or a tiger. Somehow she had a more special, more perfect blood, and even Admon was intrigued by it.

Petunia began to tremble because she had never seen such an expression from Mery before, and even Olva began to bow under the pressure. It was unbelievable that someone who hadn't even come close to being a Saint Supreme and a demon beast was giving them so much pressure.

While everyone was being crushed by the pressure, a gentle yet authoritative voice rang in everyone's ears:

"Mery, come."

Under everyone's gaze, Mery suddenly withdrew all her aura and then started to walk after her master at a run. What had happened today would go down in history as the first time in the history of the Ice Palace....the Ice Palace had been honoured with the footsteps of an immortal.

"Don't do such nonsense again Mery, we are not bandits but uninvited guests." Admon spoke in a rather harsh tone and pulled Mery's ear, Mery, who had tears in one eye, said "I'm sorry sirrr..." and at that moment Admon took a breath and said "go Petunia, don't come back until you're done, we'll be here for a while anyway." and left the ice palace with the servant who guided him.

"It's a demon beast I've never seen before, and on top of that, it can even oppress Saint Supremes like us. On top of that, a man whose power I can't even see the slightest bit, Petunia....what kind of business are you involved in?" Olva suddenly turned to Petunia with the help of the surprised eyes around and questioned.

"Oh...Mery is Master Admon's maid, I am Master Admon's first apprentice." As soon as Petunia said this, everyone was once again surprised. If Petunia became a disciple of such a person, who could look sideways at the Fire Empire? If just one servant could give them such pressure, how many masters should he have in his service?
