Chapter 2230 - If I Win, I Stay

After those people left, Wu Lingyu brought her to his bedroom. His face was gloomy all the way there, he was not happy at all.

Once they were inside his bedroom, Sima You Yue wrapped her arms around his waist and snuggled in his embrace, then she comforted: “Alright, don’t be angry anymore.” “Why didn’t you let me speak earlier?” Wu Lingyu looked at her obedient appearance. His voice was a little hoarse but he still tried his best to look upset.

“I know you want to protect me, but she is your General after all. They work for you and if you scold them to defend me, it will inevitably make the gother Generals under you feel disgruntled.” Sima You Yue poked his chest gently. Although she had done it through his clothes, it made him feel unbearable.

“My woman, if I don’t even have the ability to protect you, I…”

“I know. I understand your thoughts.” Sima You Yue interrupted him, “It’s just that you still need to use them, so the less trouble you can cause, the better. Besides, I don’t care about that female general, I care about what everyone else feels.”

If it was only one general, it didn’t matter to her. But if he had scolded her in front of the other Generals, they would definitely have some discontentment. After all, they had fought together side by side but on the other hand, not only was she their Queen but she was from the Human Realm. Naturally, the one whom they were more familiar with and from the same realm as them held a higher status in their hearts.

“Besides, even if you had reprimanded them, if they don’t want to accept me, they still won’t accept me. It’s not like I’m incompetent, you don’t have to worry about these things, I can handle this by myself.” Sima You Yue didn’t want him to worry.

Before she came, she already knew about the immense pressure he was under. After she saw him, she saw the tiredness in his eyes and knew that he must not have rested for a long time. Her heart ached for him, and she didn’t want him to worry about these things.

“How long has it been since you’ve rested?” She pressed him onto the bed. He pulled her and she fell on top of him.

“I’ve not kept track, probably a month.” Someone’s hands were starting to wander.

“So long!” Sima You Yue patted his hand, then she took out an elixir and stuffed it into his mouth, “You get some sleep first. No matter how difficult the situation is now, it won’t make a difference if you slept for a while.”

“Don’t worry, even if I don’t rest, I will still have the energy.”

“Who’s talking to you about this? Hmm…”

Absence made the heart grow fonder, and besides, they had been separated for two years. Their fire and desire for each other blazed through the night, it wasn’t until the next morning before he fell asleep in her arms under her coercion.

Sima You Yue nestled in his arms. As she looked at the dark circles under his eyes, she couldn’t help but reach out and touched them.

This guy had always said that everything in the Devil Realm was fine and told her not to worry, but he made himself so tired instead.

She sighed in her heart and found a comfortable position in his arms, then fell asleep with him. Wu Lingyu slept soundly, but when she moved, he subconsciously held her tighter and even kissed her hair lightly.

After Sima You Yue arrived, Wu Lingyu didn’t show up for a whole day. This made the generals lament in their hearts. Didn’t the Queen know how difficult the situation was right now? She actually did this!

The angry generals didn’t dare to look for Wu Lingyu, so they went to look for the priest instead. They knew that the priest most disliked matters like that.

Hong Yuan just glanced at them lightly: “Do you know how long the King hasn’t rested?”

Several Generals were taken aback.

“The last time the King rested was one year and one month ago.” Hong Yuan didn’t wait for their response, “You’ve always advised the King to rest, so why are you complaining now?”

The few Generals blushed at Hong Yuan’s words. They had only considered that the King only rested for so long because of a human, they hadn’t realised that the King was actually very tired.

At this time, Sima You Yue came over. She was the one who had placed the spirit barrier, so she knew as soon as they came over. “I know that you don’t respect me, you think that I am just a human and I’m not worthy to stand by Lingyu’s side.” Sima You Yue said, “Now I’ll give you a chance, if anyone can beat me, I will return to the Human Realm and I won’t stay here and be a sore eye.”

Hong Yuan raised his eyebrows, this woman would actually do such a thing?

“Alright, you said it!”

“Naturally. However, it doesn’t matter what method you use, so you have to accept it no matter what method I use as well.” “Is that even possible?” “Why not?” Sima You Yue asked back, “It doesn’t matter if I use a divine artefact, or if I use a poison array, as long as I defeat you, it is my strength. Does it mean that just because I used poison to conquer Frost Moon City it means that I didn’t really take over the city?”

The Generals were speechless by what she said. She was right, did that not count? Of course not.

“Then let’s experience the Queen’s strength!” Leng Yun stood up first, “Please forgive me first if I hurt the Queen later on.”

Sima You Yue had hidden her strength, so they didn’t know the level of her strength at all. However, they knew that she was young, only in her early two hundreds, therefore, her strength must not be high. If she wanted to use other methods, they would let her so as to say that they bullied her. Sima You Yue nodded: “Come on!”

The two of them came to midair. Hong Yuan opened the palace’s Protective Array so as to avoid it being affected by the battle.

“You’re the Queen, and you are young. I’ll let you have two moves first.” Leng Yun said.

“No need.” Sima You Yue revealed her own strength. Her Advanced Pinnacle strength blinded their eyes.

“How, how…. Is it possible?”.

The Queen was actually an Advanced Pinnacle level, she was only two hundred years old and she was even stronger than their two thousand year old strength!

Leng Yun also hadn’t expected Sima You Yue’s strength to be so high. However, she was also a Pinnacle level strength, with the addition of her tricks, it wasn’t impossible to fight against her.

To have been able to achieve such strength at such a young age, she must have solely focused only on cultivation. Such people wouldn’t have any combat power.

Very soon, their beliefs were slapped back in their faces. How could Sima You Yue not have any combat power? Her combat power was much stronger than those of them who had been on the battlefield for years! If it wasn’t for the fact that Leng Yun was someone under Wu Lingyu, she wouldn’t have been able to last more than two minutes!

“Snap…”

A lightning struck not far from Leng Yun’s side and blasted a hole in the ground. After the smoke and dust had dissipated, they could still feel the residual power in the air. Leng Yun had already been injured by her, if this lightning struck her… Everyone couldn’t help but shudder.

Sima You Yue flew down. She didn’t look like she had just been in battle at all, and just circled the air.

“I said, it doesn’t matter what methods you use, but General Leng Yun doesn’t seem to understand what I have said.”

It turned out that when she said any method could be used, she wasn’t talking about herself but them. What was ridiculous was that they all thought that she would cheat in order to stay. When they thought of this, they couldn’t help but blush.
