Question: You transmigrated to become the evil big boss of a murder mystery game right after the final scene. What kind of ending will you face?
Yu Ling: Thanks for the invitation, I know thi...
This is the feeling that Wu Mo gives Yu Ling, a feeling that can't be found in anyone else. She never makes Yu Ling feel too restrained, and she is not as sensitive as Lin Jiu, who explodes at the slightest provocation.
In that instant, even the system suddenly understood where Lin Jiu, whom it had been battling for so long, had lost.
"Wu Mo, how dare you say such a thing?! Even if Wei Yichen is dead, he is still a man of my Phoenix Kingdom, and it's not up to a rough woman like you to lay a finger on him!"
Lin Jiu brandished her weapon, ready to fight the woman who had stolen her man. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Yu Ling stand up and sit silently to the side, her face expressionless. A pang of guilt flashed through her mind for having said such harsh words, but it quickly disappeared.
At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: to take Yu Ling back as soon as possible and not let her remain in Wu Mo's hands, where she would be despised by outsiders.
"According to the rules of Wutu, what you steal is mine." Wu Mo also stepped between the two, determined not to let Yu Ling have any chance to leave.
The two couldn't agree on anything, and Lin Jiu, who was already furious, couldn't hold back any longer. She rushed forward and started hitting him, and Wu Mo was not to be outdone. They ended up fighting.
The commotion was so great that it quickly attracted the attention of the other Wutu soldiers.
Although most of the troops on both sides were still fighting outside without a leader, there were still quite a few troops surrounding them. This made Lin Jiu finally calm down and realize her mistake. A chill enveloped her. It was too late to stop now.
When it comes to leading troops into battle, Lin Jiu is almost undefeated with the well-equipped and well-trained Phoenix Kingdom soldiers, plus her own quick wit and wisdom. But when it comes to fighting one-on-one, how can she compare to Wu Mo, who has a harsh life and often fights wild beasts?
Silver light flashed, and swords flashed one after another. Taking advantage of Lin Jiu's distraction, Wu Mo punched away the attack while using her other hand to predict the opponent's movement. She grabbed Lin Jiu by the neck and pushed her to the ground. After kicking away her weapon, she threw another punch.
Wu Mo struck with extreme force this time, almost using all her strength, causing Lin Jiu's face to immediately change color and swell, with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. She pressed her advantage, striking again and again, until even her fists were stained red, the killing intent in her eyes impossible to conceal.
She's after her man, she still has those kinds of intentions, and this guy has actually slapped her in the face. No woman can tolerate this humiliation!
[Host, although Vice General Lin went a bit too far, she has been kind to you before! Could you... please save her?]
The system couldn't stand it anymore. Lin Jiu's face was almost disfigured from being beaten. If she really became ugly, how could it possibly support this couple?
"You're really siding with outsiders... You trash system, your host can't even protect himself, and you're making me add fuel to the fire and stir up trouble?"
Yu Ling was always eager for a good show, since he was always on the weaker side no matter who he faced. However, the system's suggestion wasn't entirely out of the question; he couldn't just stand by and watch Lin Jiu get beaten to death by Wu Mo.
"Sister Wu Mo, if you're going to kill her, then kill her. Stop fighting! What if you hurt your hands?" Yu Ling finally spoke up to stop the two of them. Her voice was still terrifyingly calm. She gently pulled Wu Mo's hands and wiped away the blood that belonged to Lin Jiu.
Seeing Yu Ling's indifferent and cold attitude towards him, Lin Jiu felt a chill in his heart. He sighed softly with self-mockery, "I lied to my superiors and subordinates for you, I worried about you, I risked my life to come to the Wutu military camp for you... and in the end, this is how you treat me?"
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft; Wu Mo could hear it, the system could hear it, and Yu Ling naturally heard every single word clearly.
Yu Ling: My conscience is actually hurting a little. I suddenly feel like such a jerk...
On second thought, I realized that I was just a pitiful tree spirit trying to be reborn by the main god, doing a frustrating survival mission. I was a great demon in life, but my life after death was not much better. Why should I empathize with mortals now?
“Yichen is of lowly status and does not deserve such trouble from the deputy general.” Yuling decisively abandoned her conscience. How could she have become so self-centered after possessing a human for so long?
[Waaaaah, host, you're so cruel! Vice General Lin is crying... Waaaaah...] The system's empathy was clearly much stronger. Seeing Lin Jiu's tearful eyes, it also cried its eyes out in the space.
"..." I want to cry too. Wasn't the original owner just a courtesan? How did it become such a damned love triangle when it was me?!
To make Lin Jiu give up on her, Yu Ling bandaged Wu Mo's wounds and offered comforting words of concern right in front of her.
...Lin Jiu's eyes were red, and she cried even harder.
"Alas, Sister Wu Mo, you don't know this, Deputy General Lin and General Qi have a deep friendship. Why don't you just exchange her for her... blah blah blah... It would save us from wasting a lot of manpower on the siege with the cold winter just around the corner."
Yu Ling weighed the pros and cons before pretending to be nonchalant.
[Host, you're so kind... Waaaaah...]
The system thought Yu Ling was pleading for its sake, and it was moved to tears again.
Yu Ling: I just said it offhand.
After careful consideration, he concluded that Wu Mo had no intention of occupying the border city at all; he probably just wanted to plunder because the tribe was expanding too fast and they were starving.
Wu Mo also began to think about it carefully.
“That works,” she said.
In Wu Mo's eyes, who was innocent and straightforward, Yu Ling was deeply loved. Everything she said and did was to be respected, even if it sounded like she was pleading for her ex-lover. She would only treat it rationally.
"Guards, take Lin Jiu away and treat him well. Also, send someone to tell Qi Ruo to bring the city's grain and men... just bring the grain to ransom him."
He almost blurted it out, but Wu Mo quickly turned back to look at Yu Ling's expression and frantically tried to explain.
"Young Master Wei, these are all orders from the clan leader. I am a woman who values her chastity!"
Yu Ling didn't care anyway, and nodded perfunctorily.
When Wu Tubing went out to deliver the message, the soldiers on both sides were almost in tears.
The leader has been lost, but no one dares to make a sound. They are fighting in fear and dare not retreat. It has been a long time, and finally there is some news.
In other words, the soldiers of the Phoenix Kingdom were not very good. How did Deputy General Lin get captured in Wutu's territory? They hurriedly went back to find Qi Ruotong to report.
Yu Ling and Wu Mo's lives returned to normal, but Lin Jiu felt a strong sense of resentment rising within her. Even if he pleaded for her, he was still an unclean man, which made her wish she could tear Wu Mo to pieces to vent her hatred.
She was prejudiced and only believed what she saw, so she naturally didn't know that the virginity mark on Yu Ling's wrist was still incredibly bright.
