1884 Apprehensive(Chapter preview)

"Father, let's go to an inn to stay at. You and Uncle Lin, as well as the others from Vast Region, have been injured. We'll head to the Imperial Capital after resting for two days." Mi Er said as he pulled on his arm and swayed, pulling him back to his senses.

"Xi'er, she saved us. If we have the chance, we have to properly repay her, alright?" By saying this, Murong Hui was also expressing his stance. If anything happened to Sima You Yue, the Vast Region would step forward and lend a helping hand.

"I got it, I got it. Let's look for her again to thank her once we're back. We have to tend to your wounds first." Mi Er acted exactly like Sima You Yue did before. The average person would not be able to tell that they were two separate people.

On the other side, Sima You Yue and the other three went to the biggest inn here and got the best room. Black Shadow and Huan went to their own rooms while Wu Lingyu sent her to her room.

"Tonight will not be a peaceful one." Wu Lingyu leaned on the door, "Why don't you and I stay together?"

Sima You Yue pressed a hand against his chest and said with a smile, "Don't mess around. With you here, how would those people dare to come?"

"It's all the same, I'll just suppress my aura. Otherwise, what will I do if those people come before I have a chance to rush here?" Wu Lingyu forced his way past her door and strutted grandiosely to her bed and looked at her as he lay down.

"Excuses!" Sima You Yue rolled her eyes. However, she closed her door, tacitly agreeing to him staying the night, "What a waste of my money to book your room."

"What if I compensate you with my body? That way you won't lose out." Wu Lingyu beamed at her.

"I'm going to call my Father out here." Sima You Yue pursed her lips.

This punk. He was obviously guarding his final line but dared to speak like this. He was really asking for trouble.

As expected, when he heard her say this, he chuckled sheepishly. However, he still patted the empty space in front of him, asking her to come over.

Sima You Yue walked over and he stretched forth a hand to hold her, getting her to lie down in front of him. He took advantage of the opportunity to move forward and wrap his arms around her from behind.

"You You."

"Hmm?"

"I wish to contact those from the Devil Realm who are here." Wu Lingyu said.

"Why are you thinking of contacting them?" Sima You Yue played with his fingers and casually asked.

"It will be good to contact them now. By the time we have to rescue your mother, we will be able to act directly."

"That works as well. However, we have to ascertain that they're still loyal to you. If news that you're in the Ghost Realm spreads and the devil king does something to your body in the Devil Realm, or does something to your people, that will spell trouble."

"Mm, alright."

The two of them talked about other things, and it was only when the later half of the night came that there was finally movement.

"Are you certain that she is in there?"

"Of course I'm certain. They rented the best room, which is the single courtyard right at the back. It's relatively further from other places."

"Surround that courtyard. Don't let her escape!'

A group of people flew over. Before they managed to surround the area, Black Shadow and Huan appeared.

"We've waited so long for you and you've finally appeared." Black Shadow glanced at those people before saying with disappointment, "Why are those who come here only of this rank? It always ruins my excitement."

Those people didn't expect to be discovered the moment they came. They had already suppressed their auras, but those two still appeared immediately. It was as if they were already waiting for them.

"Let's just start." Huan spoke less and moved to action directly.

Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu were in the room. When they heard the action outside, she turned around and poked her finger into his chest, "Didn't you say that with you around, you would be able to detect the dangers earlier? Huan and the others have gone over, what are you still lazing about here for?"

"I'm in charge of protecting you, it's enough for me to stay here." Wu Lingyu held onto her hand, bringing it to his mouth for a nibble.

Sima You Yue glared at him, muttering, "Eternally indecent."

"Although I am indecent, I am not eternal. I know, you want to be with me eternally. Mm, once we're old, I will let you really see what it means to be eternally indecent."

Sima You Yue: …

She wanted to ask him, where was his pride?

Wu Lingyu was calm, but she couldn't just stay in the house without a care. She turned around and got out of bed as Wu Lingyu followed after her. They opened the door to the courtyard and a barrier kept the power of the battle isolated. They had no need to defend themselves.

"Sima You Yue!" When they saw her, the people in the air gritted their teeth.

Sima You Yue glanced at them without showing much expression. She couldn't be blamed for what happened back then. She did not feel like she had done anything wrong. Even if she knew that she would end up in this state against the Ghost Realm, if she had a chance to do it over, she would have made the same choice.

As for those people, they had thrown their lives away for greed. Their clan members and friends wanted to take revenge for them, which she felt was understandable. For such situations, it would depend on who was stronger!

At the same time she knew that one reason this kind of situation would occur was because of the Ghost King's attitude.

After Yu Ke Luo had been captured back to the Ghost Realm, all traces of her were gone. Rumors had it that the Ghost King was too disappointed in her that he killed her. Since he could even act against his most beloved daughter, towards a granddaughter that had the blood of the human clan flowing in her veins, he was even more likely to ignore her. Since that was the case, the Ghost King would not punish anyone who killed her. That was why they could act so boldly!

If the Ghost King cared about her just a little, she would not end up being hunted down by so many people!

That was why, was she really about to go and look for him? Would he really tell her where her mother was?

Towards this Grandfather that she had never met before, she didn't have any sort of guarantee.

Wu Lingyu held onto her hand, "Don't worry. In the worst case, we'll look for her on our own. In any case, you should believe in your older cousin."

Although he had spent most of the time at the River of Oblivion when they were in the Ghost Realm, the name of Di Zhe, the killing god, was known. Naturally, she would have heard of the relationship that he had with Yu Ke Luo. Even if the whole Ghost Realm abandoned her, Di Zhe would never let her go.

"Mm." Sima You Yue nodded, "Older Cousin was able to obtain the Hundred Ghost Fan and head to Immortal Land to gather ancient souls for Mother's sake, so he naturally can be counted on. I'm just afraid that he might not be able to contend against those powers…

As for Di Zhe, he was currently enraged about the news that he had just received. Di Liu and the others were below, and they dared not even breathe too loudly for fear that they would draw his attention.

"This You Yue, how could she be so careless. She actually revealed her location! Have you gone to investigate what I have already asked you to investigate? Just who is spreading the news that she has arrived in the Ghost Realm?!"

"It's the Ghost Concubine who is behind all of this." Di Liu stiffened his neck and said, "During the Great Yu Region Competition the previous year, Young Miss was too outstanding in her performance and it just happened to coincide with that incident, so it's been linked together. Ghost Concubine is naturally suspicious and she feels that it is not Murong Xi, but even if there's no evidence, she wants to kill Young Miss. However, because Murong Hui's position as Duke is not a low one and Prince of Great Yu is not one of her subordinates, she devised this method."
