During the rest of the game, I realized that it wasn't that the opponents were bad, but that Yuujin was strong.
I watched as You Yue killed more and more fiercely, easily securing a pentakill.
My god, You is too strong...
I was deeply impressed by You's amazing learning and reaction abilities, and we won the next few games thanks to You.
We were engrossed in the game when suddenly there was a knock on the door, accompanied by Sha Lin's voice, "Heavenly Emperor, Immortal Venerable."
"Shalin is here." I was a little anxious; the game still had a while before it ended.
"It's alright, you go ahead, I can manage on my own." You sat upright in the chair, her fair-skinned, well-defined hands manipulating the character in the game.
I glanced at You's hand and was slightly distracted, but quickly came to my senses. "Come in."
The door opened with a click, and Sha Lin, seeing the two of us playing games, paused for a moment before gathering his thoughts and saying, "Heavenly Emperor, I have done what you ordered."
"Okay, can I wait a moment?" I said, my face flushed, and I felt a little embarrassed.
"Okay." After saying that, Sha Lin silently stood not far away and waited for us.
Because Shalin was waiting, I was anxious and failed several times in a row. My teammates in the game were all complaining about me. Fortunately, You turned the tide and we didn't lose the game.
After the game ended, I quickly shut down the computer, composed myself, and stood up to turn to Shalin.
Have you made all the necessary contacts?
"Yes, I have already contacted the local deities. Does the Celestial Venerable wish me to guide you?"
"Okay, thank you for your help." I looked at Shalin gratefully. It would be much easier for us if Shalin could lead the way.
"You're welcome." Sha Lin looked up and met my eyes.
For the remaining days, Youdu and I followed Shalin around to various places, sometimes one place a day, sometimes several places a day or several places a day.
In any case, with Shalin's help, You and I were indeed much more efficient.
However, the deity said he would contact us again at the appropriate time, but we have not received any letters from him in the past few days.
I wasn't in a hurry to resolve the issue of resentment; I was just remembering the deity's words that he would uphold justice for us once the matter was understood.
I have also seriously considered what the deity said that day.
Indeed, my child was the work of Liu Lieyu alone, and so many lives should not have been lost in the war.
Those who sacrificed their lives on the battlefield were also someone else's children, someone else's parents. In my impulsive moment, I never thought that as someone in a position of power, what did it matter to me how many people died? But they were also living beings with flesh and blood, and I shouldn't have to pay the price for my personal feelings.
My hand unconsciously went to my lower abdomen. Baby, I will definitely avenge you, I will.
My momentary lapse in concentration almost allowed the resentful force to escape, but fortunately, You stopped it in time and used a magical artifact to destroy it.
"Xin'er, what's wrong? Did you think of something?" After eliminating the resentment, You turned to me and asked softly, her dark eyes showing no reproach.
"Sorry, I was just spacing out."
"It's nothing." You smiled slightly, raised her hand and ruffled my hair, her tone incredibly gentle. "Have you been too tired these past few days?"
"Ah, no." I quickly waved my hand. You did all the hard work; I only used the magic weapon to absorb the resentment and didn't exert any effort.
After hearing my explanation, You still looked a little worried, and her deep voice came out from her thin, red lips, "Let's rest for a while."
I wanted to refuse, but I saw that You's face had changed to an expression that left no room for me to refuse, so my words of refusal became, "Then let's rest for a bit."
"Okay." You's tone rose slightly, carrying an indescribable lightness.
"Would you two like to rest? Would you like me to make arrangements for you?" The speaker was the local land deity, while Shalin stood beside him without interrupting.
I was about to nod in agreement when You preemptively refused.
“No need, Shalin, we’ll come to the Earth God Temple to find you later.” You’s words were brief and left no room for refusal.
"Okay." Sha Lin nodded slightly.
You then led me away first.
"You, where are we going?" I was a little curious as to why You had just refused the local landowner's invitation, when they could have easily made preparations for us.
"Go to a place where you can rest well." You tilted her head, a smile playing on her lips, her tone tinged with mystery.
"hold head high?"
"It's alright, just follow me." You's voice naturally gave me a sense of reassurance.
You led me further and further into the remote areas, until we were far away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Hmm? Is Yu taking me to the countryside?
You led me into the mountains and forests until we reached a stream.
This place is far from the city, and the surroundings are extremely quiet. You can hear the gentle flow of the stream and the occasional chirping of birds in the forest.
"Shall we rest here?" I looked around, smiled, and took You's arm.
"Hmm." You nodded slightly, then seemed to remember something and said, "Wait a moment."
With a wave of his hand, You conjured a small wooden house out of thin air in the open space not far away. A string of blue wind chimes hung at the door of the house, making a clear, tinkling sound when a gust of wind blew by.
"Madam, please." You smiled and bowed slightly in a gesture of invitation.
I covered my mouth and chuckled softly, "Don't call me 'Madam,' it makes me sound so old."
You looked at me with eyes that seemed to possess a captivating power. "Okay," You said, then changed the subject, "my darling."
A beautiful smile curved my lips as I gently placed my hand on You's outstretched right hand, and You then led me into the cabin.
The cabin was simply furnished, with a pure white carpet and a large bed.
After I sat on the bed, You knelt on one knee to take off my shoes and socks, then looked up at me and said, "Get some rest."
"Mmm." I nodded slightly. Even after so long, I still wasn't used to You doing these things to me, and I always felt a little shy.
After You stood up, she turned around, took off her coat, and put it elsewhere. I took the opportunity to sniff my little feet. Luckily, they didn't smell bad.
I quickly burrowed into the covers. You had already put away her coat and turned to walk towards me.
I pulled the blanket up and stared wide-eyed as You approached me step by step.
You gently pulled back the covers, lay down beside me, and expertly pulled me into her arms. "Why aren't you asleep? Why are you staring? Hmm?"
I smiled and snuggled into You's arms, speaking in a muffled voice, "I've been waiting for you."
With a deep, dark laugh, I could feel the rise and fall of You's chest.
"Okay, go to sleep now." After saying that, You gently placed a warm kiss on my forehead.
I was enveloped by You's scent, and I lay down peacefully beside her, slowly closing my eyes, my hands tightly gripping the hem of her clothes.
