Chapter 2068 - The Happiness City

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

This man with a beard was not someone incredible, so Wu Lingyu casually used a skill to deal with him.

Sima You Yue had already probed his memories before he dissipated. She originally only wanted to be a newcomer, however, after taking a look at their memories, she pretty much understood what happened here. After she probed his memories, she felt that it was fortunate that she had done so.

“What good information did you get?” Wu Lingyu could tell if she was happy or unhappy just by seeing the corners of her eyes.

“I know where the first prey is located.” The corner of Sima You Yue’s eyes lifted, and the unhappiness that was caused by the man with the beard had also scattered by a lot.

“So lucky?” Wu Lingyu raised his eyebrows.

“I think so too, this luck really isn’t bad.” Sima You Yue went over and held onto his arm, “When we go back, let’s tell the shopkeeper to change our rooms. We will visit the next stop, Happiness City, in the next two days.”

“Alright…”

Happiness City was not far from Midnight City, but their ranks were vastly different. The Midnight City was only a border city, but the Happiness City was a core city.

However, the people who were living in the Happiness City were not happy at all. They had to pay a lot of taxes, and they also had forced labour. If anyone dared to escape, they would receive very heavy punishments after being caught. Not many would survive the heavy punishments.

Also, those who wanted to enter the city would have to pay a large sum of entry fee to the city.

Anyway, in the words of the locals, the City Lord of Happiness City only had eyes for money.

Despite that, the amount of people who wanted to enter the city was endless. There were always long queues at a few of the city’s gates. Because this city once had an emperor, everyone wanted to come to seek a way, and see if they could comprehend anything.

Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu were in the middle of the queue.

“So this is the Happiness City? After queueing for so long, they still want us to wait? What is this?” A loud voice came from behind, anger tinting his impatience.

The queue to enter the city had been quiet, and the sudden sound made everyone in front turn around.

“Young Master, don’t say it like that. Be careful that you may anger the City Lord.” An old man that was by his side held him back, afraid that he would speak inappropriately again.

“Was what I said wrong?” The man felt like he did not think that he was in any wrong. He pulled Sima You Yue’s clothes, and said, “Little Lady, don’t you feel so?”

Sima You Yue did not intend to acknowledge him originally, so she did not even turn back to look at him previously. However, this fellow had no self-awareness. After seeing that she had ignored his pull, he pulled her again.

Sima You Yue turned around, pulled her own shirt and said calmly, “I feel that there is nothing wrong with queueing up.”

The man was surprised, “Why? Don’t you feel like it is a waste of time to queue?”

“It will be harder to get in if you don’t queue.” Sima You Yue said.

Ther man took a look at her and nodded his head knowingly, “I know, people that do not have abilities like you, probably won’t even be able to touch the city’s gate if there isn’t a queue.”

Sima You Yue gave him a look that showed that it was great that he understood, and turned back.

Even so, the other party did not want to let her go. He pulled onto her shirt again, and said, “Why don’t you follow me? I will bring you in. You can skip the queue with me, how about it?”

Sima You Yue pulled her shirt back again, and enunciated every word, “No thank you.”

“Are you not tempted?” The man was surprised, “Take a look at the queue in front. It’s so long and moves forward at the speed of a snail. It will take at least one or two hours before we can enter the city.”

“Yes, I have a lot of time on my hands, I can afford to wait.” Sima You Yue said, “Seeing that you are this extraordinary, presumably your status must be high right? You can go and give it a try, maybe you can enter earlier!”

“You have really keen eyes! I am Luo Yi, I’m… a Young Master. In any case, it has quite a powerful influence. If you follow me, I can surely bring you in! How about that, want to come along with me?”

Sima You Yue took a glance at him. Wasn’t this fellow acting too close? She took a look at the old man who was behind him. He looked a little strange, and his eyes was tinted with helplessness.

To have such a Young Master, really made one sympathise with him.

“Excuse me, but we’d better continue queuing up.” Wu Lingyu stood in front of Sima You Yue, blocking Luo Yi’s vision.

The beautiful woman in front of him was suddenly blocked, and Luo Yi’s face instantly fell, “Who are you?”

“I am her husband.” Wu Lingyu said casually.

Sima You Yue did not refute him, she even grabbed his arm.

Seeing both of their hands, Luo Yi was startled and said, ” Alright, then I shouldn’t blame you for not knowing the rules. Since you’re both together, do you all want to join my team?”

Sima You Yue: …

Wu Lingyu: …

The old man: …

Sima You Yue took a look at him, and she thought from the bottom of her heart that this fellow’s mind worked differently from everyone else.

“I apologise, we do not have a habit of cutting queues.” Wu Lingyu rejected him straight away, “You can go ahead by yourself if you want to.”

After speaking, He turned back with Sima You Yue.

“You- you guys…” Luo Yi glared at the back of their heads. He was too angry to even speak.

The old man took the opportunity and advised, “Young Master, since they are queuing up as well, should we queue up too?”

“I…”

“Young Master, have you forgotten what our Sect Master had said? If we want to train properly, we have to maintain a low profile. Furthermore, we have to treat the Happiness City sincerely.”

Sima You Yue laughed after hearing that. With just a look, she could tell that this was a combination of the Young Master who was not well versed in the affairs of life and an aged bodyguard. She was sure that this bodyguard was not like any other typical bodyguard.

After thinking for some time, Luo Yi wanted to see Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu, so he agreed unwillingly.

While they were waiting, Sima You Yue had finally seen a man who was more gossipy than a woman. However, under his overzealous approach, they managed to find out much more about the matters here.

“With just a look I can tell that you have come from a small place, so you must know much about Happiness City’s history. Although this is also my first time here, I have already been here spiritually a few times. This time, I have finally been granted the approval to be able to leave my sect. The first place I came to was here. Let me tell you, in the past, there was an emperor from Happiness City. Rumour has it that if the people of Soul Region want to advance, they need the inheritance of the emperor, and seek a method.”

Sima You Yue was helpless about how noisy he was. Even if she ignored him and showed him the back of her head, he could still still be heard nagging by her ear.

“So you are here to experience well?”

“Of course…not!” Surprisingly he denied it.

“Didn’t you say that you had come spiritually here for a long time? So you did not come here for the Emperor?”

“That’s right, I did not think about the emperor before. I only wanted to come and see the person who has been bragged about awfully much, the person who is still alive..”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
