Chapter 1897: Female Killing God
“So this means that he knows where the three other Divine Seals are?”
“I’m not sure either.” Sima You Yue shook her head, “Lingyu, get those people to find out where the other parts of the Cardinal Points Divine Seals are.”
“Alright.” Wu Lingyu agreed without even thinking about it. It was rare for her to ask him to help, so how could he reject her?
“Huan, Black Shadow, do you guys want to return to the Underworld?”
She was now in the royal palace and probably wouldn’t get into any danger, so she didn’t need them to protect her all day.
“What would we go back for? We’ll follow you. What if Ghost Concubine sends men to attack you?” Black Shadow rejected her. They already knew that Ghost Concubine was the one behind what was happening in Sheep City. They also knew about the grudge between her and Sima You Yue. How could they possibly be at ease knowing that she was living right where Ghost Concubine could see her.
Sima You Yue saw that Huan had no opinions about it, so she didn’t bother about them. If they felt like they were bored, they could still walk around outside the city. In any case, those inside the palace were not going to be able to stop them.
As for Wu Lingyu, she didn’t even need to think about it. He would definitely want to be with her.
“I’ll have to properly cultivate from now on and force myself to hurry up and break through to the rank of Underworld Paragon so that Grandfather will tell me where Mother is.
As it turned out, dreams were nice but reality was painful. She wanted to cultivate properly, but she kept being interrupted.
The first one who came to the door was Di Zhe who had obtained the news. This guy ran in like a gust of wind. When he saw Sima You Yue, he said emotionally, “You finally came to the capital. I heard it from Di Liu and the others, you did so beautifully back at Sheep City! Those people deserved that kind of outcome.
Sima You Yue saw the smile on his face and smiled as well, “Only you would think that I did well. Didn’t you hear the nickname the world has given me? Female Killing God. Tsk tsk, I’ve gotten one like yours.”
“Ha ha ha- that’s great! I’m a killing god, and you’re the female killing god. It’s no wonder we’re cousins!” Di Zhe thought about how he was still rather shocked when he heard this, but then he smiled. This nickname didn’t come without benefits. At the very least, nobody would dare to mess with her.
Yu Xi and the others saw the way Di Zhe was laughing away and were secretly puzzled. They were very familiar with him. In the past when Yu Ke Luo was still around, he often came. However, they had never seen him laugh this much. At the most, his murderous expression would be different from how it was outside and he would look a little more gentle.
However, this side of him was gone the moment Yu Ke Luo was imprisoned. He would occasionally come to the Youthful Palace now and then, but his expression was always cold. It scared everyone in Youthful Palace.
“General is in a good mood. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you smile.” Yu Xi had a rather good relationship with Di Zhe and was able to tease him a little when she saw him so happy.
“Yu Xi, could it be that you’ve grown more daring since You Yue is here? You dare even tease me.” Di Zhe said this, but he wasn’t angry at all.
“Since General is in a good mood today, you will not punish this servant.” Yu Xi wasn’t afraid of him now.
“You’ve only been here for a day but you’ve already spoiled these palace maids.” Di Zhe complained to Sima You Yue.
“Is that so? Why do I feel that you’re the one indulging them?” Sima You Yue said, “However, the fact that this place has managed to retain Mother’s essence is also due to their efforts.”
“Really? All those who betrayed the Youthful Palace are no longer around.” Di Zhe sighed as well.
Sima You Yue understood what he meant. Yu Xi had told her earlier on that they were not the only ones in Youthful Palace before, but that there were others who left after Yu Ke Luo was imprisoned. However, those people did not meet a good end. All of them had been killed by Di Zhe.
In his own words, all those who betrayed Yu Ke Luo were thankless wretches whom she had nurtured. It was pointless to keep them around.
Later on, there was someone who went to the Ghost King to complain, and the Ghost King scolded him for causing trouble. Those servant girls and guards were already transferred to other palaces and belonged to them. Doing this was a slap to the faces of those princes and princes who owned them. However, in the end, he did not punish him. He merely scolded him and sent him into seclusion. To him, that was nothing more than scratching an itch.
In the past, there were still a few people who would come to cause trouble at Youthful Palace. They couldn’t defeat Yu Ke Luo in arguments, so after she left, they caused trouble at the place she used to live and thought it wasn’t a bad idea to oppress the ones who used to serve her. Because of this, those who caused trouble were silenced as well.
This killing god showed clearly that he would protect Yu Ke Luo. if they went against him, the only way left for them was death.
“Since you’re here, I’ll be able to come visit the palace more often.” Di Zhe said.
“I heard that your General’s residence is very aggressive. Once I have more time, I’ll go over and take a look.” Sima You Yue said.
“Alright, why not now?” Di Zhe’s eyes shone, “it just so happens that I have time now. How about it?”
“But Wu Lingyu and the others aren’t around now.”
“Relax, with me around, I won’t let you get into any danger.” Di Zhe said.
“I’m not worried about that. Alright, let’s go then.” Sima You Yue initially wanted to wait for Wu Lingyu to return to ask him about the people in the Ghost Realm who were lying low. Since he said it like that, she had no choice but to agree to head out with him.
“Let’s go then.”
“Should we let Grandfather know?” Sima You Yue thought about how she was going to head out right after arriving, so she should probably let the Ghost King know.
“It’s not like he has the time to bother about little things like this. The others don’t have to report to him when they leave either.” Di Zhe said, “I’ll bring you out, and I’ll just send you back once the time comes.”
“Alright then.” Since Di Zhe was around, she only brought Yu Xi along with them. She didn’t bring a single guard.
Di Zhe was extremely pleased with her confidence in him as he brought her out of the royal palace and towards the General’s residence.
Even before they arrived in the General’s residence, Ghost King received the news. However, he didn’t do anything. He merely waved his hands and got his men to leave.
“Go and take a look.” He muttered softly, and a little ripple of energy appeared in the air before disappearing.
Outside the General’s residence, Di Liu saw Sima You Yue. He led his men and bowed in greeting, beaming at her, “Princess, you’re here! Everyone’s been wanting to see you!”
Rumors of what happened in Sheep City had long since spread. Right now, everyone in the General’s residence wanted to see her. When they heard that she was coming, everyone was ecstatic.
“Di Liu, you guys returned so quickly.” Sima You Yue thought that Ghost King was the only one who could return so fast.
“What are you still hanging outside here for? Aren’t you going to get your asses inside!” Di Zhe landed a kick on Di Liu, who dodged it animatedly. The both of them were long since used to this, so it was normal to see this.
Sima You Yue laughed upon seeing this. Di Zhe had a pretty bad life before, but he had a group of people with him now.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you for a tour around the General’s residence. Every single inch of this place was crafted by yours truly.” Di Zhe smiled narcissitically.
Sima You Yue followed him in, but before they began their tour, someone interrupted them.
“You disgrace, look at what you’ve done!” An Elder cried out as he entered from outside. When Di Zhe heard that voice, his initially gleeful expression immediately turned solemn.
