My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 513: Departing for the Demon Realm

"Yes!"

The River of Styx Sanctuary Elder's eyes softened with a kind gaze. With a warm smile, he slowly opened his palm to reveal a glimmering Storage Ring.

"This is a message from your father. Inside the Storage Ring is a letter that your father specifically instructed me to deliver to you before your departure to the Demon Realm."

The venerable Elder of the River of Styx Sanctuary himself, willing to run errands for a young girl? The surrounding cultivators, overhearing the exchange, were stunned.

Their minds raced with guesses about Gu Simu's background and identity, inwardly thankful they hadn't tried to flirt with Gu Simu or Gu Xiaoqi just because of their good looks—otherwise, they might not have made it out of the tavern alive.

All of this could be credited to the recent influence of the Little Calabash Vajras, who were going around punishing evil and promoting justice. Without them, the usual state of affairs in this part of the Underworld would have meant far less peace and order.

"Thank you, Grandpa Elder!"

Gu Simu's eyes lit up at the mention of her father. She gratefully accepted the Storage Ring, which was protected by a restriction set by Gu Lan to prevent others from probing its contents. Naturally, this posed no problem for Gu Simu.

She used her spiritual sense to examine the items within the Storage Ring and was delighted to find numerous Spirit Fruits.

"So many Spirit Fruits!"

"Father, Mumu loves you so much!"

Gu Simu immediately pulled out an Emperor-Tier Spirit Fruit and popped it into her mouth. In an instant, an astonishing amount of spiritual energy filled the entire tavern. The nearby waiter accidentally inhaled some of the energy and felt himself float away, his cultivation level, originally at the early stage of the king, suddenly breaking through to the mid-stage. He was dumbfounded!

As a middle-aged Abyssal Clan member, he hadn't properly cultivated in over a hundred years and had long given up hope for a breakthrough. But unexpectedly, inhaling the energy from a single spirit fruit allowed him to overcome his bottleneck. Just how high must the grade of that spirit fruit be? Was it imperial or celestial?

The thought of a saint-level or even an Emperor-Tier Spirit Fruit was beyond his imagination.

With the spirit fruit in her mouth, Gu Simu took out a letter written by Gu Lan and looked it over. The letter mainly instructed her on her journey to the demon realm, emphasizing that safety was the priority and to use the secret treasures to call for help if she encountered any problems.

There was also a section written in Mu Yuyan's tone, which was far more detailed and gentle than her father's. As the Empress of Jing Nation and a mother, her worries about her daughter venturing out were always more pronounced than Gu Lan's.

Additionally, the letter mentioned some recent happenings at the Lanyan Royal School, such as winning first place in the Great Competition of All Clans, plans to establish a sect in the divine realm, and the upcoming discussions on the path.

However, all of this paled in comparison to the spirit fruit and the concern from her parents in Gu Simu's heart. Feeling the warmth of her parents' care made the spirit fruit taste even sweeter. Before she could wipe away the drool, she eagerly handed the letter to Gu Xiaoqi, devoured the spirit fruit in a few bites, and then took out another one.

"Sister Qiqi, father wrote to you and Uncle Zhe Liang too. Please pass it to him after you read it!"

"Here! This is a spirit fruit. You and Uncle Zhe Liang should have one too!"

Gu Xiaoqi watched as Gu Simu chomped on the spirit fruit while talking and even found time to share it with others, feeling both amused and exasperated.

However, compared to the spirit fruit, she was more concerned about the letter from her master. Zhe Liang felt the same, focusing solely on the letter rather than the spirit fruit. Since the two didn't eat the spirit fruits, Gu Simu didn't push them. Having finished the one in her mouth, she moved on to the next, also offering one of the spirit fruits to the Elder of the River of Styx Sanctuary.

"Grandpa Elder, have one too!"

The Elder was tempted to decline but ultimately accepted the Emperor-Tier Spirit Fruit. Such a fruit, used as a primary material for refining pills that could elevate Imperial Realm cultivation, was extremely rare and valuable in the Underworld. The opportunity to use it to enhance the abilities of the Sanctuary's elders was too enticing to refuse.

"Thank you, Mumu."

The Elder of the River of Styx Sanctuary sincerely expressed his gratitude. Seeing Gu Simu treat the Emperor-Tier Spirit Fruit, which was treasured by the River of Styx Sanctuary, as a mere snack gave him a new understanding of the strength of the powerful beings in the Earthly Realm.

He felt that Gu Lan must be an extraordinary and reclusive powerhouse, likely among the very top experts in the Six Realms; otherwise, he wouldn't possess such resources.

At the same time, he resolved to further enhance his support for Zhe Liang. As long as he could firmly grasp Zhe Liang, he would be able to secure a connection with that powerful being in the Earthly Realm, which would give the River of Styx Sanctuary more confidence in opposing the Dark Palace.

Recently, the River of Styx Sanctuary had given up on the rankings of the Great Competition of All Clans and achieved significant victories thanks to the imperial weapons provided by Gu Lan and Gu Simu. Currently, many of the Dark Palace's branches in the Underworld had been eliminated by the River of Styx Sanctuary, which was now a dominant force in the Underworld.

Moreover, the River of Styx Sanctuary had also established a connection with the Star Picking Pavilion. Future collaborations would only lead to faster development than the current pace.

All of the achievements of the River of Styx Sanctuary stemmed from the appearance of the person in front of him. The Elder of the River of Styx Sanctuary was a wise man and naturally understood what needed to be done.

Upon learning that the three were about to set off for the demon realm, he personally rushed over, partly for this reason. He wanted Gu Simu to feel his importance and to make the entire Underworld aware of his regard for her. This way, the powerful being in the Earthly Realm would also understand his stance, and that would be enough.

Gu Xiaoqi and Zhe Liang took turns reading the letter, both looking very excited. Especially Zhe Liang, who felt immense joy upon learning about the accomplishments of the Lanyan Royal School. However, he did not regret his decision; his path was not meant to remain in the Earthly Realm.

He wanted to carve a route for his lord in the Underworld, establishing a presence for him, and even in the demon realm.

After finishing the letter, Zhe Liang already had a clear goal in mind. When they returned from the demon realm, he would facilitate a connection between the River of Styx Sanctuary and the demon realm, creating a new force for his lord. Whether or not to inform the young lord and Gu Xiaoqi about this new force was something he needed to consider.

After all, the two of them didn't seem very reliable, and he feared they might lead the new force astray.

The three of them exited the tavern and boarded the large flying artifact brought by the Elder of the River of Styx Sanctuary, preparing to use the nearest cross-realm teleportation array to head to the demon realm.

Throughout the journey, the Elder personally escorted them, even going so far as to contact his old friend, the Demon God of the Purple Moon Wolf Clan, whom he had known for many years in the demon realm. This way, Gu Simu and the others could reach out to the Purple Moon Demon God upon arrival, who could provide protection for them.

Gu Simu was not too concerned about this; she held a red bell in her hand, shaking her arm as she called out:

"Let's go! To the Demon Realm!"
