The system was utterly astonished. In just a few days, the host had completely captivated this general. If the system were to add any more buffs to itself, it would definitely become unfortunate!
[Host, are you sure you want to buy this skill? To be honest, it will make you more flexible, but...] The system tried to dissuade me again.
"What nonsense are you thinking? I bought this skill just in case, didn't I? You know that with this physical body's extraordinary appearance and the blessing of my demonic soul, it's easy for bad guys to target it!" Yu Ling said helplessly.
【...That makes sense!】 Okay, this system has been fooled again.
It's a skill that can be used in many parts of the world, even if it's a bit trashy. But spending 200 survival points isn't too bad, and at least my body isn't so fragile anymore.
Otherwise, if Yu Ling were to forcefully stimulate the weak chicken's body to resist, she would definitely feel completely exhausted and wouldn't survive until tomorrow.
During Lin Jiu's absence, Qi Ruo actually had time to chat with Yu Ling. Since there were few people in the army, her actions wouldn't attract attention, and Yu Ling's presence wouldn't be noticed either.
She always felt something was strange. This delicate man seemed even more charming and endearing after arriving at the border, and she would often feel a desire to pin him down and bully him.
Fortunately, I am a respectable person. If those hot-blooded young women saw me, who knows what kind of riot would break out!
Alas! Her Majesty the Empress is usually so shrewd, how could she have done something as simple as sending men into the army? She's only making trouble for herself.
Yu Ling, who bought the skill, became more and more beautiful, but she always saw herself through a filter.
The only thing he noticed was that he could do more things, try to fight using more methods, and was much stronger. In this world without internal energy or martial arts, he had some ability to protect himself.
...It can only be said that Yu Ling was indeed prescient.
Qi Ruo visited Yu Ling several times for long talks by candlelight, which did not attract the attention of the remaining soldiers in the army, but instead drew the attention of the Wu Tu tribe members who had infiltrated the area.
Therefore, when the fierce-looking Wu Tu warrior, dressed in black, sneaked into Yu Ling's tent under the cover of night, mistaking it for Qi Ruo's, he saw a handsome man with elegant clothes, a pretty face, and superior looks, elegantly drinking hot tea at the table.
The warrior from Wutu's eyes narrowed, and he immediately became restless, plotting how to capture this handsome and otherworldly man, make him his own, or offer him as a tribute to the clan chief in exchange for more power and status.
Upon seeing a stranger enter, Yu Ling stood up warily, her delicate face filled with suspicion: "Who...who are you? How did you manage to intrude into my tent!"
【...Host, doesn't the tag she's wearing say "Wu Tu"?】
Yu Ling's good mood for acting was ruined by the system's words. This stupid system is as dumb as ever.
Please, I can see it, why do you need to tell me?!
With a slight flicker in her eyes, Yu Ling subtly retreated to the edge of the tent and said indifferently, "This is a strategically important border area of the Phoenix Kingdom. You'd better leave quickly, or General Qi will certainly not let you off easily!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a fine man! I didn't even hear a whisper of it. Speaking of which... are all the men in the Phoenix Kingdom as breathtakingly beautiful as you, uh... and as ethereal as an immortal?" Forgive her for being at a loss for words, she couldn't think of a better way to praise him.
In short, the warrior from Wutu didn't take Yuling seriously at all, nor did he answer her questions. He instead eyed Yuling's face and figure with ill intent, his gaze greedy and drooling. She laughed...
"Your General Qi is truly blessed with good fortune. She even dares to bring a junior official to the military camp. Isn't she afraid of attracting unwanted attention? No wonder people say she's indifferent to men. With a beauty like you, if it were me, I would definitely only dote on you!"
The warrior from Wutu had clearly forgotten why he came here. He was completely infatuated with Yuling, who had bought his skills, and approached her with an evil smile.
Just as Yu Ling was about to give this impolite guy a good beating so as not to waste her newly purchased skill, General Qi, who happened to be out for a stroll, heard the commotion, picked up his sword, and lifted the tent flap.
All three of them were shocked by what they saw.
Wutu Warrior: Damn it, if I hadn't seen this mission target, I would have almost forgotten that I was the one who came to launch the sneak attack!
Yu Ling: Tsk, the general is here. Should I counterattack or continue to hide my strength?
Qi Ruo: What's going on?! My house has been raided?!
...After a three-second silence...
"Oh ho, General Qi, in the dead of night, you've come to this little beauty's tent with what kind of intentions, haven't you?"
Hastily drawing his curved dagger, the Wutu warrior snatched Yuling, who seemed to have given up resisting, and used her as a human shield, letting out a cold snort.
"Don't worry, I'll return this young man to you after I've had my fill of him, hahahahaha!!!"
Qi Ruo's face instantly darkened.
"You dare?!"
She instantly understood that Yu Ling had taken the blame for her. Why would the Wu Tu tribe go to such lengths to capture a man? This person must be after her.
"Ha~ General Qi, your man is quite something. If you know what's good for you, put down your knife right now, or else..."
As they were talking, Yu Ling felt a warmth near her ear. It turned out that the Wu Tu warrior, Ulamo, had come up from behind and was playing with her loose hair.
"Enough!" Qi Ruo tightened her grip and then loosened it. Even though Yu Ling was just a courtesan, she couldn't just ignore her being held hostage by thieves. "...Let her go, and we can talk things over."
"Okay, move aside and let me go."
Having said that, she used the tip of her dagger to cut a slit in Yu Ling's clothes, revealing a scene of passion within the tent.
"Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if I made him submit to my will in front of you, and then attracted the attention of the other soldiers in your camp..."
Honestly, if Qi Ruo hadn't been a decent person, this Wu Tu warrior wouldn't have posed any threat to her at all. But this guy was just a stubborn and inflexible person. Yu Ling didn't think he would agree, but he still gave way.
Qi Ruo was now very calm, her eyes were cold, and she said slowly and deliberately, "Release him, and I can let you get away unscathed this time."
"Hmm~ I'll let him come back once I'm out the door. You should stay away a bit... Yes, yes, just stand here. Kick the knife away!"
As he spoke, Ulamo reached out and put his arm around the person, and started walking toward the hole in the wall that he had made when he sneaked in.
"Ugh, don't touch me!"
Yu Ling groaned as she was pushed. Where was this person's hand touching?!
