At the command of the Northern King, Yu Ling, who had completely forgotten about the matter while in the medicine hall, was dragged out of her warm bed by Feng Yi, who had run all the way there, just as the banquet was about to begin at nightfall.
Yu Ling was groggily dressed and pulled out of the house. Liu Molian, who was next to her, was also awakened by the noise and sat up, which startled Feng Yi.
Although it is common for two or more people to lie on one bed in the military camp, why does this situation seem so abnormal at this moment?
"What kind of relationship do you two have?"
Feng Yi's mind was already conjuring up images of the two of them worshipping the Rabbit God together, but thankfully his mouth stayed on track and he asked,
"The King of Beishang has hosted a banquet and sent me to invite Yi Lanbin. So, are you going to come along?"
Liu Molian was still half asleep, only thinking that he would follow Yu Ling wherever she went, and he also started to get dressed.
Two sleepyheads and Feng Yi, who was in a hurry, made their way to the Northern Palace of Sorrow without any problems.
It wasn't until she entered the palace that Yu Ling began to realize something was wrong. If the system had been there, it could have alerted her, but the system horse was still wandering alone outside, and she could only communicate remotely...
Oh! That's right, he was right! Ever since I started living at the pharmacy, I've always felt like I've forgotten something. Turns out, I forgot to reconnect the system!
"System, it's urgent! Quickly go and drag someone back to the bamboo house and bring them here! Hurry!!!" That was all Yu Ling could do. It probably wouldn't work, but she could at least get by for a while.
【Okay, host, I'll get right on it~ Waaaaah, you finally remembered me, sob…】 The system was living a life of hardship, unable to even return to the bamboo hut where it used to shelter from the rain, and was practically dying from overeating.
Yu Ling remained silent during the banquet.
He was very low-key, especially avoiding looking in Yuan Yanxi's direction. He just sat there listening to the Northern Prince ramble on for a long time until the banquet was announced to begin, then he lowered his head and started eating like crazy.
The King of Nanyue was another person who was equally obsessed with eating. When he saw Yu Ling eating with a hearty and unrestrained manner, unlike the King of Dongli who ate slowly and deliberately, he felt a sense of kinship with her.
As the saying goes, a person who only cares about food can't be too bad, because all they care about is food, not scheming. I'll give them a "good guy" card first, maybe we can get to know each other sometime!
Actually, Yuan Yanxi hadn't noticed Yu Ling at first. Everyone else was chatting and drinking, but he and the King of Nanyue were eating like crazy, which was too conspicuous. So she turned her head and asked her sister who this person was.
Yuan Xin'er had never met Yu Ling, but Feng Yi had already told her the list of attendees at the banquet. The man who was as heroic as her husband was obviously General Yi Lanbin, and the thinner one next to him should be Liu Molian, the military advisor of Nan Yue.
The two whispered amongst themselves for a while, which the Queen keenly noticed. She deliberately asked:
"What does Yi Lanbin look like?"
“That’s quite proper,” Yuan Yanxi replied casually.
The Queen's eyes lit up. In the past, when she asked about the men in this child's life, she would either say that this one looked frivolous and must have kidney deficiency, or that one looked rude and uncouth. This evaluation was already very high!
"Yi Lanbin! Would you be willing to be my consort, the Prince Consort of Bei Shang?"
Huh?? x2
Yu Ling and Yuan Yanxi looked at the Queen of Bei Shang in bewilderment at the same time. What was going on?
"I/This Empress refuses!" x2
"It's my personal reason, and has nothing to do with the princess/Young Master Yi!" x2
Upon hearing this, the Queen thought, "Wow, such perfect understanding! It seems there's really something going on!" She had already begun discussing the wedding date with the King of Beishang.
Liu Molian, sitting below, nearly crushed the wine cup in her hand. What was wrong with the Queen's eyes? Didn't she hear Yu Ling say she didn't want to?!
Yu Ling dared not say another word, and only waited until the banquet was nearing its end before someone reported that the person in the bamboo house had been found.
Yu Ling was dumbfounded when she saw the system being carried over, bound hand and foot, and a real savage who looked like a monkey.
"System, is this the person you were looking for?"
[Host, that place is too remote, I can't find anyone... so... hehehehe.]
The King and Queen of the North were pale. How could their daughter have taken a fancy to a monkey?!
"This, this is the master you spoke of?"
Yuan Yanxi originally wanted to tell the truth that this person wasn't him, but seeing the amused looks in her parents' eyes, she jokingly and secretly replied, "What if I am?"
The Northern King secretly complained to the Queen, thinking how this pressure to marry had ruined their child. It wasn't like they couldn't afford to raise a daughter; now, instead of finding a suitable husband, they'd ended up with a monkey.
"Well, Yanxi, your father agrees if you want to raise monkeys and horses, but marriage is no laughing matter. Let's discuss it later. Guards, lock these two pets up!"
Yu Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
Where Yu Ling couldn't see, Liu Molian simultaneously let out a long breath.
Then, Feng Yi saw both of them.
Sigh, what a terrible old rival, the dignified General of Dongli, how could he have been so foolish? A sweet, soft girl is so much better!
And so, as Yu Ling continued to invent new creations for Feng Yi, who was constantly bothering her, he began to be labeled as an omnipotent person by the entire Northern Sang.
If you have a problem, go to Bei Shang Wang; if you have a difficult problem, go to Feng Yi; if you can't solve the difficult problem, go to Yu Ling!
What if Yu Ling has no other choice?
It's alright, just beat up King Dongli!
If one meal doesn't work, try two; if two meals don't work, try three. With enough attempts, Yu Ling will eventually figure it out amidst the wailing of the Eastern King!
Zhang Heyi, a disciple, kept his merits and fame hidden.
The system horse was also well cared for by Yuan Yanxi. She had long since thrown the real savage out. As long as no one urged her to get married, everything was wonderful. Moreover, the horse was friendly and never fell off.
And so, Yu Ling quickly passed a year working for Liu Molian, exploiting Zhang Heyi, and listening to the King of Dongli get beaten up.
[Ding! Main Quest: Survive! (Completed) This is a cumulative quest. You will gain 100 survival points for each year you survive. Survival points earned within a year will not be counted towards the total reward. Please keep up the good work!]
The system horse was crying its eyes out in the stable. It would never say another word. Having a body was no fun at all! It was either being used as a mount by its host or wandering around doing chores. It was probably the only system living such a miserable life.
Yu Ling breathed a sigh of relief. The mission was completed, which meant that after passing through one more world, she could go to the intermediate world to do missions. Then, it wouldn't matter how long she lived here after that.
Completely demoralized, Yu Ling became increasingly listless and negative, which forced Dong Li Wang to frequently engage in public performances. Eventually, he had no choice but to reach an agreement with a certain eunuch: the fight would be faked, and he would simply wail along.
King Dongli: He got brutally beaten because his subordinates were too loyal. Does anyone understand?!
