Chapter 482 (1/2)

The Group Hunt (1)

“There are probably thirty thousand people here. That means we’ll need thirty thousand prey… Would there be enough?” came Coldblood Five’s voice.

Ye Lang and her were both in the same carriage but no one knew of her presence- not even the coachman knew he had two passengers.

“It will be. It’s been like this every year, I think the animals migrate from another part of the forest…” Even Ye Lang thought it was unbelievable.

Nature was some times mysterious that way, he never dwelled on it.

Once he got off the carriage, he mixed in the crowd with Coldblood Five close by.

More arrived. There were several characters who attracted attention when they did.

“Miss Li Yue.”

Looks like Li Yue was here, looking beautiful as always. It was time for Ye Lang to force himself over to get closer.

Another person Ye Lang was familiar with appeared next to her. It was Li Yan, Other than the fact that he was an annoying person in general, Ye Lang knew that after the previous incident, them meeting each other would only result in trouble.

He could care less though. For the success of their plan, Ye Lang did not mind having to spend time with Li Yan too.

However, Coldblood Five advised for him to wait until Li Yan left, speculating that Li Yan would not be hunting with Li Yue. Therefore, Ye Lang waited.

After a while, another prominent figure appeared. It was some Lord, then some Lady… They were very popular figures in the city- looks like it was an event for celebrities too.

However, the next person to arrive triggered even more ripples across the crowd.

When Ye Lang saw this person, he quickly decided to stay away. As the person approached Li Yue, Ye Lang decided he was going to temporarily suspend the plan and he’d rather die than get closer.

Who would have the power to invoke such a reaction from Ye Lang?

Li Yue and the rest of the nobles were expected arrivals, although there was still a huge commotion when they arrived.

This was an unexpected arrival though. No one knew she was going to come, some of them even suspecting foul play.

Then everyone got down on one knee.

“Your Majesty…”

Yep, it was Zhao Yarou. Was she here to have fun with her people at the hunt? Or was she here to say a few words?

They would soon know.

“A very good morning to all, I am here today to participate in the group hunt. I am just an ordinary participant today, there is no need for formalities,” Zhao Yarou announced with a smile.

The crowd cheered. They were mostly supporters of the empress and at the same time wanted to take the opportunity to get to know her.
