Chapter 513 Im Arrives
Chapter 513 Im Arrives
Back at the inn, Yoru told Robin to go and rest.
After returning to his room, he looked out the window.
Ye Yu frowned. "They really can't let people get a good night's sleep."
He disappeared from the room as soon as he finished speaking.
On the beach of the Water City.
A figure wearing a black hooded cape stood on the shore.
The waves crashed against the shore, but did not affect the figure at all.
Night Feather appeared behind him.
"You must be the one behind the Five Elders, right?"
Ye Yu sat on a rock and said calmly.
The figure chuckled and said, "A bizarre speed."
This sound left Ye Yu speechless. "Stop playing tricks. What's the matter?"
Ye Yu looked at the figure not far away.
The figure was speechless after hearing Ye Yu's words.
He remained silent for a long time, seemingly uncomfortable with Ye Yu's words.
After a long silence, he turned around, and in the moonlight, Ye Yu could clearly see the man's appearance.
Ye Yu was somewhat surprised.
"I didn't expect you to be such a beauty."
This person is Im, who used a teleportation array to transport himself here from Mary Geoise.
After the Five Elders reported on Ye Yu's situation, Im decided to meet Ye Yu in person.
This is one of the few times Im has left the Holy Land of Mary Geoise in all these years.
Beneath Im's black cloak was a noble robe, and she had waist-length, fiery red hair that was quite eerie. Combined with her delicate and charming face, which possessed an air of nobility, and beneath the noble robe was a breathtaking figure, it was likely that Sanji would bleed to death with just one glance.
Im, the person who has controlled the World Government for eight hundred years, is this kind of person.
Im was definitely the most beautiful woman Yoru had ever seen; her beauty was enough to touch the soul.
Even Ye Yu, who had lived through two worlds, was momentarily stunned by her beauty.
But it only lasted for a moment.
Actually, when Yoru shocked Im, Im was also surprised by Yoru's appearance.
Ye Yu is definitely much better looking than the bounty poster suggests.
Of course, neither of them cared much about their appearance.
After turning around, Im and Yoru stared at each other for a few seconds before Im spoke first, "Why didn't you agree to become a Celestial Dragon?"
It sounded like an accusatory tone.
After all, having been in a high position for hundreds of years, one's language habits are hard to change.
Ye Yu didn't mind.
The strong are always proud.
The power within Im is absolutely top-tier in this world; it is the strongest power Ye Yu has ever seen.
Ye Yu smiled. "You seem to care a lot?"
Im paused for a moment.
She frowned slightly, not expecting Ye Yu to speak to her like that.
For hundreds of years, only a handful of people, including the Five Elders, knew of her existence.
These people were all very respectful when they spoke to her.
She would never be so frivolous with Ye Yu.
Yoru was quite relaxed, while Im was very intimidating to most people in this world.
However, Ye Yu did not feel any sense of oppression from her.
On the contrary, Im could feel a sense of oppression from Yoru.
Although Im is strong, he is indeed inferior to Yoru, far inferior.
Seeing Im's expression, Yoru's smile faded, and he said, "I don't want to be a Celestial Dragon. The system you've created is terrible."
Im did not agree with Ye Yu's words. If it weren't for the sense of oppression she felt from Ye Yu, she would definitely have killed him.
No one had ever dared to say such a thing in front of her.
But there was nothing she could do; she knew she was no match for Ye Yu.
After a long silence, Im said, "I can understand that you don't want to be a Celestial Dragon, but there's no need to criticize the system I've established."
"Im said proudly."
Although she knew she was no match for Ye Yu, she didn't want to lose too much.
Ye Yu didn't care about her attitude.
Ye Yu laughed and said, "Aren't you worried that someone will overthrow your rule?"
Im raised his head, looked at Yoru, and said calmly, "For hundreds of years, no one has been able to overthrow the World Government I established. No one has been before, and no one will be in the future, unless you take action yourself."
Im looked at Ye Yu with a scrutinizing gaze.
If Yoru were to take action, she could indeed destroy the world government she established.
Would Yoru do that?
Im doesn't know.
Ye Yu simply smiled and said, "I don't need to take action. Someone will always be able to overthrow everything you've built."
Im breathed a sigh of relief.
The last sentence is nonsense; what Im is worried about is that Yoru will make a move.
Im fears no one except Yoru.
Im walked towards Ye Yu. She wasn't very tall, only about 1.7 meters. In this world, her height was just average.
However, it does fit Ye Yu's aesthetic, since Ye Yu is only 1.8 meters tall, which is just a very ordinary height in this world.
Im, who had walked up to Yoru, looked at him and said, "I'm curious to know, where did you get such great power?"
Ye Yu looked at Im in front of her, and seeing her up close, she was even more amazed.
Ye Yu laughed and said, "I'm more curious about how old you are, actually?"
“I sensed the power of immortality from the Five Elders. You must have given it to them. They are all people who have lived for hundreds of years.”
"And you? How many years have you lived?"
Ye Yu's words made Im frown slightly.
Yoru didn't want to answer her question, but instead asked a question that Im was very concerned about.
Im remained silent for a long time. Ye Yu said, "It seems you've lived for quite a while. Living for hundreds of years, yet hiding yourself all this time, is that really interesting?"
Im looked at Ye Yu and said coldly, "Don't you want to live forever?"
"If you'd like, I can consider helping you."
Ye Yu smiled and shook his head. "I don't want to. You can indeed grant others the ability to live forever, but the price is becoming your slave. If you're unhappy, you can simply take back the ability to live forever, and I'll immediately turn into a pile of bones."
Im was surprised and said, "You actually knew?"
Ye Yu said, "I have a very sharp eye, and it is precisely because of this ability that you can confidently manipulate the five puppets of the Five Elders from the back."
"I think that if you keep hiding yourself, it won't be meaningful even if you live for hundreds of years."
"The beauty of power is enjoyed by the puppets you regard, while you yourself can only lock yourself in a dark and gloomy place."
"I don't think there's any fun in this kind of immortality."
Yoru's words made Im increasingly uncomfortable.
She didn't refute it, because what Ye Yu said was true.
It is indeed wonderful to control the life and death of others, but sometimes it does feel very boring to be manipulating others in the dark.
