"Where's the soup?"
"It's sitting on the pot."
"Are you done?"
"That's about it."
"I'll go get it." After saying that, I excitedly headed to the kitchen.
After I put out the fire, I carried the steaming pot to the living room.
"Let's eat!" I said after placing the soup pot in the center of the table.
"Great!" Hao clapped his hands and cheered, then looked at You and said, "Thank you, Brother Youyuan, you've worked hard."
You was taken aback, then smiled faintly at Hao.
Hao turned to look at me and said, "Thank you for preparing the snacks for me, sister."
I looked at Hao with a smile and said, "Sit down and eat."
Hao nodded and plopped down on the chair where I had placed the gift beforehand.
"Huh?" Hao stood up immediately after sitting down, looking down at his chair. "What's this?" Hao reached out and took out the gift I had already placed there.
"Open it and see." I looked at Hao nervously, wondering if he would like my gift.
Inside the wooden gift box lay an exquisitely crafted silver bracelet.
Hao took out the bracelet and looked at me happily, "Did my sister give it to me?"
I nodded. "Do you like it?"
"I like it." Hao happily put on the bracelet.
I breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Hao likes it, that's good. "This bracelet has another use."
Hao was engrossed in playing with the bracelet when I told him it had another use. He immediately looked up at me curiously, "What?"
"Try to infuse him with a trace of your magic."
Hao did as I instructed, channeling a wisp of magic into the bracelet. Then, as if surprised by something, he looked up at me and said, "Thank you, sister."
"You're welcome, let's eat." I smiled and put one of Hao's favorite dishes into Hao's bowl.
Another use of the bracelet is that it can store items; it's a space bracelet, and I have quite a few of these around me.
After Hao returned and stayed for a few days, he went back to the barracks to await orders, leaving only You and me in the vast palace.
I occasionally accompany You to handle government affairs, but most of the time we play together. Strangely enough, after all this time, my belly still hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy.
It seems that You's wish to become a father will not be fulfilled for the time being.
Liu Lieyu was extremely shocked. I heard that when the delegation returned and told Liu Lieyu that You was Dijun, Liu Lieyu's face turned as cold and he did not show his face for several days.
Liu Lieyu never imagined that You Yuan, whom he had always looked down upon and who had always opposed him, was actually his brother Di Jun. This was not the relationship he had when he entered the mortal world as a demon, but rather his brother who shared the same roots and had taken care of him for many years.
I don't understand what Liu Lieyu was thinking when he killed Di Jun.
Does he really have no heart? Although You, as a demon in this life, was indeed cruel and bloodthirsty at the beginning, he never mistreated Liu Lieyu when he was Di Jun.
I sincerely hope that Liu Lieyu can come to his senses and stop bothering us, considering our shared ancestry.
However, my idea will never come true.
This day was just like any other, and as usual, I accompanied You to the outer hall to handle government affairs.
After a day's work, we were getting ready to go home.
I had already reached the door when I turned around and saw You still sitting in the chair, holding a letter in her hand. You's brows were furrowed and her expression was serious.
I was taken aback. Where did this letter suddenly appear from? I hadn't seen it before. I wondered what was written on the letter that made You look so surprised.
Thinking this, I stood next to You again. I glanced at her and saw a few keywords: Liu Lieyu, troop deployment, war.
What? I was shocked and was about to take a closer look when You had already finished reading it, placed the letter on the table, and looked deep in thought.
"You, is Liu Lieyu going to wage war against us?"
You nodded slightly.
I glanced at the letter again, but since I already knew the outcome, I stopped paying attention to it.
Who sent this letter?
"You, where did this letter come from? Is it reliable?" The source of the letter is a bit strange. I was just here with You, but I had never seen this letter before.
You Shen let out a deep breath. "Do you still remember the Witch Immortal?"
A witch doctor? That man who always seems to dislike me?
"I remember." I nodded slightly. Could this letter have been sent by him?
“This letter was sent by the Witch Immortal.” You then turned the letter to ashes and said, “It’s not just this one; many of the information I had about Liu Lieyu before was provided to me by the Witch Immortal.”
I haven't heard the name "Wu Xian" in a long time, and I haven't seen him in a long time either.
You then explained that after the Heavenly Court fell, Wu Xian pretended to join Liu Lieyu and followed him to Guixu. Now, Wu Xian is ostensibly working for Liu Lieyu, but in reality, she has always been You's informant.
"But how did he manage to send the letters?" I scratched my head. I knew a bit about the controls in Guixu; the management of officials was extremely strict, and they couldn't even leave the area casually. How did the Witch Immortal manage to deliver letter after letter safely to You?
“I once set up a needle technique in a certain place in Guixu. As long as he puts the letter here, I can sense it and the letter will naturally come into my hands.”
My God, is it really that amazing?
"Won't Liu Lieyu find out?"
You chuckled confidently, then looked up at me again, "What do you think of Liu Lieyu and me in terms of formations?"
If we were to rank the two of them, Liu Lieyu would be like a student, while You would already be an expert in this field. In fact, what Liu Lieyu was learning was exactly what You had created.
"No one can match you in terms of formations." I'm telling the truth; with the Hetu and Luoshu in hand, You is naturally invincible.
You has its advantages, and Liu Lieyu naturally has his own advantages as well.
I'm really afraid that if Liu Lieyu wields the Eastern Emperor Bell, this deadly weapon, the Abyss of the Brain, there will be countless deaths and injuries.
I was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered, "You, did the letter say when?"
"It will be soon." You's gaze was distant. "The earliest is the day after tomorrow, and the slowest is no more than three to five days."
"So urgent."
"It's alright. I've been preparing for this day for many days. I'm just afraid he won't come." A ruthless glint flashed in You's eyes.
"You, what will you do if we win?" If we are lucky enough to win this war, what will happen afterward?
Should we take the people of the Abyss to the surface? But where should we put so many demons? To the Ruins? But I'm reluctant to go to the Ruins. The Celestial Realm? That's even more impossible. I don't want to fight Luo for territory. And what about the creatures of the Ruins? Regardless of victory or defeat, there will be countless casualties.
You tapped her fingers on the table repeatedly, then looked up at me after a long while. "Xin'er, there's something I need to tell you."
"What's up?"
After a moment of silence, seemingly pondering her words, she said, "I know you hate Liu Lieyu to the core, but... I don't want to kill him. Would you accept that?"
