Chapter Twenty-Four: Crossroads in Life



"Hey, someone's here."

In his hazy state, Wu Yu seemed to hear someone calling him, but he didn't want to pay any attention to it. All he wanted to do was get a good night's sleep.

But Wu Yu suddenly felt the cushion behind him being pulled away, and he was suddenly lying on the sand. The impact of his head hitting the sand woke him up.

"Who is it? Disturbing my sleep." Wu Yu propped himself up with one hand and sat up, cursing.

"Hero, I have finally found you."

Just as Wu Yu heard a joyful voice, a beautiful figure rushed into his arms.

Poor Wu Yu was tackled to the ground once again.

Wu Yu thought he was being attacked by the enemy and was so frightened that he looked closely at the person who had tackled him.

Upon closer inspection, Wu Yu saw a woman riding on top of him in an indecent position, which put him at ease.

The other person looked disheveled, but the impression that the majestic golden eyes and the magnificent golden hair had left on him was too deep. With the crown on his head as further proof, Wu Yu finally remembered who the other person was.

“Princess...Princess Philliss, right?” Wu Yu said uncertainly, uttering the name he had only heard a few times.

"Yes, it's me. I never thought I'd be remembered by a hero. It's truly an honor." Phillis nodded vigorously, looking at Wu Yu with admiration.

Philliss is completely different from what Wu Yu remembered. If she was an arrogant little princess before, now her dress is torn, her bare feet are scraped in several places, and her face is covered in mud. She looks no different from a down-on-her-luck Cinderella.

But the strangest thing is why she calls herself a hero, since I don't think I know her well.

"Your Highness, may I ask why you are here?" To resolve his doubts, Wu Yu felt it would be better to find out the situation first.

“When the demons invaded before, the army of the desolate city was afraid that they could not resist, so they sent me out ahead of time. I originally wanted to wait for Sister Maper to return to the capital together, but who knew... who knew that the desolate city would be destroyed in an instant.” When she spoke of her sadness, Phillis’s eyes reddened and she almost cried.

But thankfully, Phillis held back, and then she looked at Wu Yu and continued, "But just when I thought the demon army was unstoppable, you, hero, stepped forward and repelled the entire demon army with the power of a single sword. Such achievements and such strength are unprecedented. With you, hero, it is truly a great fortune for the empire."

"Haha, I'm not as amazing as you say," Wu Yu said, scratching his head sheepishly and laughing as he replied.

"By the way, could you please get off me first?" Wu Yu glanced at Jack beside him, blushed, and pleaded in a low voice.

Although Wu Yu had dated before, it had only gone as far as holding hands. This kind of close contact was a first for him. Moreover, Phillis's clothes were already a bit torn, and with the sweat soaking them, Wu Yu could clearly see her graceful figure.

If he continues in this position, it would be embarrassing if he gets carried away and loses control of his body's instinctive reactions.

“Yes, hero.” Philliss obeyed Wu Yu’s instructions without a second thought.

"Phew." Wu Yu exhaled a breath of stale air. Although he was unexpectedly a little reluctant, it calmed him down. He stood up from the ground and then asked.

"Your Highness, what are your plans next?"

Upon hearing Wu Yu's question, Philliss replied earnestly, "The demon invasion is a crisis for the entire world. I will immediately go to the capital to report this to my father."

"I don't want to see this happen again. In this world, the three great human nations are scheming against each other, the elves live in seclusion, and the dwarves are simple-minded and warlike. The whole world is in disarray. If the demons invade again, history will repeat itself, and even greater tragedies will occur. I want to change that tragic future."

Wu Yu was surprised that he had underestimated this princess. She actually had such ambitions. Wu Yu became interested and gestured for her to continue.

“My brothers are all mediocre and naturally foolish. In the past, even if one or two mediocre rulers appeared, the empire would not have suffered such a heavy blow.”

"But now chaos is coming, and they do not have the ability to lead all mankind. As the heir of the royal bloodline, I have a responsibility to stand up and protect the people of the empire. So this time, I will be crowned king, unify the human race, and unite with the elves and dwarves to fight against the demons."

"What a boastful tone! You're just a pampered princess, what makes you think you can accomplish all this?" Wu Yu dismissed it as a child's unrealistic fantasy, but he didn't have the habit of mocking others' dreams. He could only give Phillis a thumbs-up and say dryly, "Go for it!"

“Therefore, I need your help, hero.” Phillis stepped forward, grabbed Wu Yu’s hand, and said eagerly.

“Hero, I know my idea is ridiculous, but I am determined to make it happen. If you are willing to help me, I believe we can definitely achieve it.”

"With just your martial prowess, I can successfully establish myself in the capital. Once I inherit the throne, I will marry you, and you will also gain the right to inherit the throne. When the time is right, I will pass the throne to you. With your abilities and courage, you will surely be able to do things that I cannot do. You can also defeat the demons and save the world once again, just like you did this time."

"At that time, you will become the savior of the world, and you will also become the supreme ruler of the world."

Hey! Hey! Hey! It's too close, your chest is practically touching my hand. Faced with this choice, Wu Yu's mind started racing again.
