Xuan Yi froze in place and his back stiffened; he tightly clenched his fists under the robe and the veins burst…however, he remained unmoved.
The woman that was embracing him right now had a cold but pleasant voice, “I will do my best to help you obtain anything you want.”
…so familiar.
In his dream, he was unsure how many times he had recalled that statement….
The words were almost exactly the same…
“I’ll help you obtain anything you want.”
That woman had said that before.
And how did he respond?
He said that there wasn’t anything he wanted, but for the woman to stay by his side.
— But she broke her promise in the end.
Even until now, this woman probably thinks that he didn’t remember anything.
Therefore, this was why she was able to coax and deceive him without fear right?
She treated him like an ignorant fool as if everything that happened in the dream was just a dream…in reality, she was the one who sculpted the situation, so she should be very familiar with this.
Even now, due to a certain motive, this woman returned to his side again. However, he wasn’t as familiar with her than before.
He really wanted to know what he meant to this woman.
“You really…like me?”
After a while, the deep and hoarse voice broke the silence under the darkened night.
Ye Yu felt guilty for a few seconds.
To no avail, she was on the tiger’s back and it was impossible for her to change her idea.
Therefore, Ye Yu had no choice but to answer lightly, “Yes.”
“…Okay.”
The end of the wide robe brushed across the sky and Xuan Yi reached over to embrace this tiny woman.
Veins burst on his forehead and he tightened his grip on her.
“You said this, so you better not forget a single word.”
“…”
Ye Yu pretended to be acting cute and helpless looking on the surface, but she couldn’t help but think in her heart, “Why do I feel like he wants to strangle me?…Can I struggle?”
After the system searched through the data, it said in doubt, “I suggest for the host to not struggle.”
“Normally, if you struggle right now, he might really strangle you.”
However, the night of, Ye Yu still got her “revenge.”
Again, she dismissed the devil emperor to the luxurious chaise lounge by the corner of the palace.
The reason being, “Although my period just ended last month, inconveniently, I will start having it in the next twenty days.”
The system, being the only one that witnessed the plain lie, was speechless.
A few days later, all the preparation was complete. Xuan Yi and Ye Yu brought along a few retinues and they left the devil city together.
Once they were a few kilometers out of the city, Ye Yu felt Xuan Bin’s consciousness leaving from the fleet.
She knew that there wouldn’t be any big events happening during this period, so she finally sighed in relief.
The anxious system immediately sent Ye Yu a message.
“Are the mission rewards released yet?” Ye Yu said curiously.
“Yes, my host.” The system asked, “Do you want to get your rewards right away?”
Ye Yu asked, “Can I ask what it is first?”
“The mission reward will allow the host to be promoted into another realm based on the foundation of your cultivation.”
“…” Even though Ye Yu was eager to find out what the mission rewards were, after hearing the answer, she couldn’t help but hold in her breath.
Right now, she was at the peak of the Infant Realm. If she gets upgraded, she can immediately enter the Youth Realm!
This is something Princess Ye hadn’t achieved even up to her death according to the original storyline.
“Immediately receive it.”
However, after she finished saying this, Ye Yu had another question. “Can you make me less susceptible to other people’s consciousness? Just like Xuan Yi?”
The system answered without hesitation, “Of course not.”
Ye Yu was speechless.
“In the end, in this book, only Xuan Yi is your true master, right?”
The system felt wronged and it said, “It’s not like I can change this…”
Ye Yu nodded.
“Fine, immediately receive the reward. After all, Princess Ye had been stuck in this stage for a while. I’ll just say that I got an opportunity at the right time to upgrade my realm.”
“Ok.” The system changed faces quicker than the flip of a book, answering happily.
After a soft ring, Ye Yu immediately felt the essence qi in her body and the boundary in which she can extend her consciousness by a large amount.
It only took less than a second.
In the carriage, Xuan Yi who was across from her resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes.
The surprise and questioning look in his eyes couldn’t be hidden.
Ye Yu was speechless.
She wanted to drag the system out of her mind and shake it a few times.
