"Let me think about it." You Xiu rubbed his temples with his long, well-defined fingers, his eyes slightly closed, then opened again to look at me. "Are you sure you'll listen to me?"
Seeing that there was a chance, I quickly moved closer, grabbed You's arm, and said in a sweet voice, "When have I ever not listened to you?"
You looked at me with a distrustful expression, as if to say that I never listened to him.
"Stay by my side."
Isn't this still a form of protection for me? Although I was dissatisfied, I didn't dare to bargain any further.
"Xin'er, the situation is going to be a bit chaotic lately, so you shouldn't go out anymore."
"Do the people of the Abyss already know that war is coming?" I thought of something I overheard in Qingyuan.
You nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "This time, I may have to reveal my identity."
With Liu Lieyu's army pressing in, the people of the Abyss will eventually find out You's true identity. Rather than letting the enemy expose it and cause panic among the demons and monsters of the Abyss, it's better to announce it openly sooner rather than later.
"Have you thought it all through?" Even though I had mentally prepared myself many times, I was still filled with worry and fear about the impending war.
"Mm." You looked down and saw the worry in my eyes. You smiled gently and reassured me, "We'll be alright."
"I believe you." I silently took You's warm hand in mine.
After You left, I immediately summoned Feng Su and Hao and told them not to go out and wander around unless necessary these days.
As he had said, You revealed his identity, showing his true face to the world for the first time.
Within Sun and Moon City, rumors were rife, all discussing You's identity.
Just days after You revealed his identity, he announced that the Abyss was about to face its greatest battle ever. If they won, everyone in the Abyss would have the chance to return to the land and ascend to the Heavenly Palace; if they lost, they would be plunged into eternal darkness, and the Abyss would cease to exist.
Upon hearing this, the demons of the abyss instantly erupted in commotion.
The demons of the Abyss are originally from the outside world. The Abyss was originally a place of exile, but now its thriving population is largely due to the demons who came in and multiplied. It must be said that many people in the Abyss, like Jin Yu, yearn for the outside world.
However, since ancient times, no demon that has entered the abyss has ever been able to get out. Even if it finds an exit, it will be suppressed by Kunlun Mountain at the exit and then retreat back.
Most importantly, it seems that no one in the Abyss knows this yet, because even if they went out, they couldn't withstand the sunlight.
You Mingming knew why he would say that.
"Feng Su, are you sure you didn't hear wrong?"
"Master, I'm sure I didn't mishear. The whole of Sun and Moon City is talking about this now."
"Where is You now?"
"Youyuan is currently in the front hall discussing matters with his ministers."
After thinking for a long time, I decided to go to the front hall to see Youyuan and ask him what was going on.
"Master, where are you going?" Feng Su shouted after me as I lifted my skirt and ran away.
"I'm going to find You."
Because I had something on my mind, I walked quickly.
"Let me in." I never imagined that I would be stopped by the guards one day.
"Who are you? Lord Sun and Moon is discussing state affairs with the other officials." The four guards at the door looked at each other, and then one of them stepped forward, looked me up and down, and asked.
I saw You sitting upright through the long tunnel. From my perspective, I could see You's profile, which looked as if it had been carved by a master craftsman. Oh well, I'll just wait here.
Just as I was about to give up, You seemed to sense something, turned around and saw me.
My eyes met yours, and you weren't surprised that I was there.
I whispered, "Sun and Moon Lord, you're looking over here."
The four guards in front of me glanced at each other and turned to look at You Heshan. I could clearly feel them stiffen from behind and then kneel down in a panic.
You gestured with her eyes for the four of them to let me in. The person who had just told me not to go in stood up, cupped his hands and invited me in, while the other four immediately stepped aside to make way for me.
When You saw me come in, he turned around and listened attentively to his subordinate's report.
The path I took wasn't the main gate of the outer hall, but a small path connecting to the inner hall, so no one would notice me. There were only four guards at the entrance.
I stopped at the end of the corridor, not wanting You's subordinates to discover me in the main hall.
You turned to look at me again, and I mouthed to her that I was waiting for her here.
You nodded slightly.
I took a breath and stepped back so that His Highness's men wouldn't notice me.
You sat upright, one hand resting lightly on the armrest, her index finger tapping the table lightly. She wore a purple robe with an inner garment as black as ink, and her long black hair was tied up high with a white jade crown. The hem of her robe was embroidered with auspicious clouds in gold thread.
His pale face revealed no emotion, and he exuded a faint aura of authority as he listened quietly to his subjects' reports.
I was gazing at You's handsome face, when suddenly a question that caught my attention reached my ears.
"Your Majesty, is it true that you can bring the people of the Abyss back to the mainland?"
"Of course," You said calmly, without even a flicker of her eyebrow, as if stating something perfectly natural.
The person below the stage remained silent for a long time before continuing, "But Your Majesty, since ancient times, no one from the Abyss has ever been able to leave."
"Are you questioning me?" You finally raised her eyes, her sharp gaze falling on the person in front of her. Because I was hiding in the corner, I couldn't see who You was looking at.
"I wouldn't dare." Then I heard a thud, as if someone had knelt down.
You's gaze remained fixed, and the hall remained completely silent.
After a long while, You shifted her gaze from the person, and slowly scanned the shop. Her calm tone carried an immense pressure, "You think so too?"
"We dare not!" A unified, thud echoed from inside the hall; I reckon the entire hall's inhabitants knelt down.
I never expected that the rule under You was so strict.
You kept her index finger on the armrest without making a sound. Since You didn't speak, none of His Highness's people dared to speak either. Time passed by, and even I felt nervous.
After a long silence, You finally spoke, "Which of you don't believe me?"
His Highness remained silent.
You's eyes flickered slightly, and her deep voice seemed to carry a certain magic, "Get up, all of you."
As soon as You finished speaking, rustling sounds came from inside the hall.
Yu continued, "If any of you don't believe me, you can come with me yourself, or you can all come together. I'll show you the outside world." After Yu finished speaking, the corners of her lips slightly lifted, as if she was in a good mood.
Perhaps it was because You's aura was too strong that no one in the audience spoke.
"Your subordinate wishes to see you again." A man's voice suddenly came from inside the hall.
That voice... it sounds familiar.
Moonfire?
