Reincarnation: Multi-skilled Goddess Is So Beautiful!

At four in the evening, Zi Yi put on an evening dress and got into the car with Qin Ze as they headed in the direction of the palace.

With such a huge incident happening in Country D these days, one can feel how heavily guarded the roads are.

"They have caught many subordinates of Hank these days, but Hank managed to escape." In fact, Qin Ze was a little worried. "I constantly have the thought that Hank was taken away by the worm race. Otherwise, how could there be no traces of him even after such a rigorous search for him?"

Qin Ze was not the only one who was concerned about Hank's disappearance. Both Zi Yi and Lu Jingye had also been paying attention.

Zi Yi reduced the virtual screen to the size of a tablet and while swiping, she said, "He has indeed been taken away by the worm race. If my guess is right, he should have escaped when the spaceship was stopped."

Qin Ze was silent for two seconds before he said, "It seems like he had already planned for his retreat. It will be hard to catch him now."

"Yes. I believe he should be one of the pioneers of exploring the universe."

"What?"

Qin Ze furrowed his brows. "If that's the case, we should be stopping the worm race."

Qin Ze knew Lu Yunxiao was investigating this, and so he asked, "Is there any progress on Lu Yunxiao's side?"

Zi Yi glanced at him and asked bluntly, "Do you think I will reveal anything to you?"

"…"

Qin Ze glared at Zi Yi.

Zi Yi pretended not to see that and continued swiping across her screen.

Qin Ze refused to give up and continued to ask her, "I feel that the reason why the king invited you two tonight is because there is a high chance that he wants to collaborate with you, if he can't make you stay. When the time comes, will you collaborate with him?"

Zi Yi did not answer him. Instead, she asked, "Do you think we should collaborate with them or not?"

Qin Ze was stunned by her question. He pondered for some time before he said, "If it's a collaboration in the name of the country, it will definitely be good if both countries progress together. But…"

Speaking of this, he stopped talking.

After all, the latter words would be a little unpleasant to hear from Zi Yi's standpoint.

None of them talked again for the rest of the ride.

The royal palace of Country D was majestic and magnificent.

Tonight's banquet was attended by all the princes and nobles. When Zi Yi's car arrived outside the gate, a middle-aged man who resembled Runge strode over.

Qin Ze looked at the man making his way over and informed Zi Yi. "This is the eldest prince, William. I didn't expect that he would specially welcome us at the entrance. It seems like you've really become famous."

However, Zi Yi did not feel as if she was being pampered. Instead, she sat there without moving.

When William was making his way over, another car drove in and pulled up behind Zi Yi's car.

The passenger in the car behind them pushed open the door and alighted first.

William, who was originally making his way over to Zi Yi's car, saw who the man was. He then changed direction and walked over.

Qin Ze turned around to take a look. "Zi Yi, Lu Jingye is here."

Zi Yi had already seen him through the rearview mirror. She pushed open the door and alighted.

When she came out Lu Jingye and William made their way over together.

After Zi Yi alighted from the car, she stood next to Lu Jingye.

William reached out to her and unexpectedly, he welcomed her using China's etiquette. "Miss Zi, welcome to Country D."

Zi Yi shook hands with him before taking back her hand and holding onto Lu Jingye's arm. She did not have any intention of speaking.

William did not mind either. He smiled and looked at Qin Ze who had alighted from the car after her. "This is?"

"Hello. My name is Qin Ze. I'm their friend."

"Hello… Please, let us head inside."

William led the three of them toward the entrance of the palace.

Along the way, the other nobles saw the trio who were personally led by the eldest prince and all of them revealed shocked expressions at the same time.

"The eldest prince actually came out personally to greet Mr. Lu and his wife!"

"What have they done to be treated with such great respect by the eldest prince?"

"Could it be that Mr. Lu and Country D are collaborating on a national level?"

"It's possible. Mr. Lu is extremely skilled in business and not to mention, he's currently the royal merchant for China. Perhaps he's representing China to collaborate with Country D."

"But even so, there is no need for the eldest prince to treat them with such respect. Could it be…"

It suddenly occurred to them that the king was of old age and he would most likely be stepping down from his throne in the coming years. The biggest possibility was that the eldest prince wanted to win over these two so that he could gain more usable pieces in his succession for the throne.

The way everyone looked at both of them started to change. Those nobles who sided with the other princes started to be wary.

Another group of nobles decided to wait and see.

After entering the palace, they walked down a long corridor before they arrived at the place where the banquet was being held.

The banquet hall was magnificent looking. The various carvings and murals fully displayed the power and dignity of the royal family.

Men wearing tuxedos and women in evening attire, coupled with the national-level orchestra, had formed the image of a luxurious life of the noble class.

When William personally led them inside, everyone in the banquet hall looked at them with surprised gazes.

William acted as though he had not noticed their gazes and continued his casual conversation with Lu Jingye along the way. He did not forget to pay some attention to Zi Yi and Qin Ze from time to time.

After they entered the banquet hall, William said with a smile, "I'll lead the both of you to meet my father first before introducing Mr. Lu to some of my acquaintances. As for Mrs. Lu, you are of similar age to my daughter and you two can hang out together."

William was in his early forties and his daughter was eighteen years old.

When they had walked to the middle of the banquet hall, two individuals came up to them.

"Eldest Brother, we were just discussing where you had disappeared off to moments earlier. I didn't expect that you'd gone to fetch Mr. and Mrs. Lu."

The one who spoke was the second prince, Louis. Having said that, he gave Lu Jingye a hug with both hands before he moved on to give Zi Yi a hug too.

Lu Jingye reached out to block him and he said with a serious expression, "Second Prince, my wife is more of a traditional person. You can just shake hands with her and that will do."

His words caused Louis to pause for a second before he naturally stretched out his hand to Zi Yi. "I've heard of Mrs. Lu's great name before and now that I've seen you today, you're indeed worthy of the praise."

"Thank you."

Zi Yi returned his handshake.

Just then, the man next to the second prince reminded him. "Cousin, His Majesty the King is about to make his entrance."

The second prince ignored the fact that the first prince had led them inside and gestured for them to enter. "Gentlemen and lady, please."

Zi Yi noticed that even though the first prince had a smile on his face, a cold glint flashed past his eyes.

Just then, Qin Ze who had been ignored and was walking behind her said, "Zi Yi, I'll go to one side. Call me if you need me."

Having said that, he tactfully left.

The first prince and the second prince continued to tag along with them as they made their way inside together.

As soon as they reached the seat that was deliberately placed in front, the king walked out from one side with the help of a young woman. Runge had also come out together with them.

At this moment, all the nobles had gathered together and they saluted the king.

"Your Majesty, good evening."
