You blinked her big eyes at me, and I saw an unyielding tenderness and smile in them.
However, after all our efforts, the people below didn't react at all. It was one thing for the others, but even Liu Lieyu didn't react at all, as if he didn't even know we were there.
Seeing that I had relaxed, You removed my hand and whispered, "Don't worry, I set up a barrier so they can't hear our conversation."
"Is that so?" I knew it. Liu Lieyu's vigilance couldn't be that bad.
"So what are we going to do?" I was a little nervous; this was the first time I had ever ambushed someone.
“You don’t need to do anything.” You shook her head, a confident smile appearing on her lips.
"Huh?" I was a little confused. "Then what are we doing here?"
“Watch them go in.” You pointed to the courtyard they were about to step into.
Did You set up a barrier somewhere?
"You set up a barrier?"
"Yes." You nodded gently. "Once they go in, they'll never come out again."
Is You planning to imprison Liu Lieyu? Will it be that easy?
I had a bad feeling. Could things have gone so easily and simply? There should have been a big battle, but Liu Lieyu suddenly changed his behavior and visited us personally. You just imprisoned Liu Lieyu in the abyss so easily and without losing a single soldier.
As I was pondering this, Liu Lieyu's figure had already disappeared at the courtyard gate; he had gone inside. Following closely behind, the rest of the Guixu group also entered the courtyard.
I saw Liu Lieyu again in the open courtyard. I swallowed hard; Liu Lieyu really went inside.
After seeing Liu Lieyu and the others go inside, You Jian smiled, closed his eyes, and muttered something under his breath.
I didn't know whether to look at You or the commotion in the courtyard. My heart was in my throat. I wondered if Liu Lieyu would notice the commotion while You was casting the spell, fly into a rage, and forcefully break through the barrier? And then take his Eastern Emperor Bell and rampage through the abyss?
But nothing happened. I watched as the people in the courtyard said goodbye and returned to their rooms one by one, as if it were just an ordinary night. Did they not feel anything at all?
"Alright." Just as I was in shock, You's barrier was already complete.
I turned my head, somewhat incredulous. "Is this all it takes?"
"Mm." You nodded gently. "Let's go."
"Is that all?" I still couldn't believe it. Everything had gone so smoothly, hadn't it? Today, Liu Lieyu seemed like a fool. "Shouldn't we wait a little longer? Maybe... maybe something will change."
"No need," You said confidently. "I'll know immediately if anything happens here." You patted my head. "If you're still worried, I'll have someone else keep watch here."
"Alright then." Since You has said so, what am I worried about?
"However, send more people to guard it." Although I knew that sending more people would probably be insignificant to Liu Lieyu, it made me feel a little more at ease.
"Okay~" You answered readily, looking at me with doting eyes, "I'll do whatever you say."
After a night of tossing and turning, You and I didn't get up until very late the next day.
Perhaps because there was no threat from Liu Lieyu, You and I both lingered in bed the next day.
You was definitely more diligent than me; she got up first to prepare lunch for me.
I lay on the bed alone for a while, but I got bored, so I got up to go to the kitchen to help You.
"You, now that Liu Lieyu is imprisoned by us, can we go to the human world to play?" I asked, washing vegetables with an expression of barely concealed excitement on my face.
"Of course, I'll go with you wherever you want to go."
"Great!" Life in the Abyss isn't bad, but I really miss life on the surface, especially movies and anime. Oh my god, this time I'm going to prepare a home with You in the human world, and spend half my time there and half my time in the Abyss.
Just imagining a world without the threat of Liu Lieyu makes me feel wonderful.
"Let's wait until Liu Lieyu's condition stabilizes and we're sure there are no problems before we set off." Although I'm eager to go right now, I also know what's more important. Before we're sure that Liu Lieyu is no longer a threat, You and I will stay in the Abyss for a few more days.
"good."
After lunch, I followed You to the outer hall to handle government affairs.
We had only been in the outer hall for a short time when a courtier requested an audience.
"Your Majesty, the Eastern Emperor and the others slept until this morning. When one of the ministers from Guixu tried to leave, he found he couldn't get out."
"Hmm." You nodded slightly; all of this was within You's expectations.
The minister continued to report slowly, "That person immediately went to invite the Eastern Emperor out. The Eastern Emperor was furious and is now using the Eastern Emperor Bell to break the boundary."
"Okay, you keep an eye on it."
After the minister left, I asked, "You, will Liu Lieyu's Eastern Emperor Bell break through the barrier?"
The Eastern Emperor Bell is truly a major bug.
"Won't."
Since You said she didn't know how, then there's naturally no problem.
I was on tenterhooks all day, afraid that I would suddenly receive news that Liu Lieyu had escaped.
"Xin'er, don't worry," You said, reassuring me as I looked on with concern.
"Of course I'm at ease, I trust you."
"Really?" You looked me up and down, her face full of doubt.
I gave an awkward laugh, "Of course it's true."
Reason tells me that everything is fine and I should listen to You, but my sixth sense keeps reminding me that none of this is useful, useless, and only killing Liu Lieyu can eliminate future troubles.
As if possessed, I blurted out, "Let's kill Liu Lieyu." I was shocked when I said it.
You Yun's calm expression froze for a moment, and she looked at me with complicated eyes. "Xin'er, didn't we agree to spare Liu Lieyu's life?"
"I know, I was just... just saying, don't take it seriously," I explained with an awkward laugh.
Oh my god, how could I have such thoughts? I had already promised You, and I could have just thought about it myself, but why did I blurt it out out of nowhere?
Have I really come to hate Liu Lieyu to the point of no return?
His dark eyes scrutinized me for a long time before he looked away and didn't mention the matter again.
I breathed a sigh of relief; I must never say such things again.
Does You still have any feelings for Liu Lieyu? I'm a little confused. You initially couldn't bring himself to kill his mud-man brothers, so he imprisoned them. But those mud-man brothers had indeed been kind to You in the past.
Liu Lieyu? Why couldn't You bring yourself to kill him, given the blood feud and the hatred of being usurped?
