Chapter 668 - Advanced in rank by sleeping
She called out a single scarlet bee and said, “Little Seven, can you take it with you in the future whenever you go out?”
“Take this little bee?” Little Seven took the scarlet bee. She was predisposed towards this kind of spirit bees that could communicate information, and she took it and placed it in her hair.
When the scarlet bee held on to her hair and stopped moving, it looked like a hair decoration.
“This is my bee. I have a contract with their Queen, and if you keep it with you, it will be able to notify me if you encounter any dangerous situation.” Sima You Yue explained.
Little Seven was extremely touched. She knew that You Yue was really good to her and was truly afraid that she would end up in trouble. Although she guessed that her identity might bring her problems, she didn’t ask her to leave. Instead, she had left a bee by her side.
She touched the bee in her hair and fully accepted her in her head. If you said that she was initially by her side only because of a secret motive, then now it was because of her loyalty.
“Little Seven, you can stay in the courtyard and play. Don’t go outside. I’m a little tired and want to sleep for a bit.” Sima You Yue felt a little weary and fell asleep immediately.
Little Seven knew that Sima You Yue slept a lot more ever since she got injured. This was because she got tired easily after being awake for a while.
After thinking for a moment, she climbed down from the bed and stood by the bedside. She bit her finger and let her fresh blood drip into Sima You Yue’s mouth.
One, two, three… she dripped a total of nine drops inside her mouth until You Yue couldn’t accept it anymore before she retracted her hand.
Inside her dream, You Yue felt as if she was trapped inside a cocoon and couldn’t move. But suddenly, it was as if she had drunk a type of sweet fruit juice. It tasted delicious and she hurriedly gulped it down. It was so fragrant that her brain immediately became rather sharp. The cocoon that had trapped her was gone and she immediately broke out of it.
Little Seven sat on the stool and watched as Sima You Yue advanced in rank. She could sense that her mental state had improved by quite a bit and smiled with satisfaction.
Although Sima You Yue was in a deep sleep, the advance in rank caused her to wake up. She hurriedly sat up as she crossed both legs, entering a state of sultivation to advance in rank smoothly.
When she had finished advancing in rank, she opened her eyes and watched as Little Seven beamed at her from the small stool she sat on. She was confused by what she saw.
“Did I just advance in rank?”
Little Seven nodded.
“It wasn’t a dream?”
Little Seven shook her head.
“How did I advance in rank?”
“I don’t know. You did it while you were sleeping.” Little Seven said innocently.
She advanced in rank by sleeping?
Sima You Yue was really speechless. Could a person really advance in rank by sleeping? The answer was definitely no.
“My mental state has improved a lot!” She realised that her mental state was much better. She always felt tired before, but she felt really good now.
Of course, this was still a far cry from a complete recovery, but in comparison to her constant dazed state, this was definitely so much better!
She glanced at Little Roc. Did she have something to do with her advancement in rank? She would never believe that she could advance in rank just by sleeping!
She could smell a light scent coming from herself as she breathed. It was the same smell as the one she smelt in her dream. She guessed that Little Seven must have fed something to her that caused her to advance in rank.
“Thanks, Little Seven.” She said gratefully.
“Hehe.” Little Seven merely giggled, refusing to admit to anything while denying nothing. She knew that Sima You Yue wouldn’t force it out of her if she didn’t want to say anything.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to tell You Yue who she really was, but she knew that if You Yue knew, she wouldn’t treat her this way anymore. If she didn’t tread around her carefully, she might plot against her. She liked how things were now.
Sima You Yue really didn’t continue to pry. She sensed her current level of power and felt that her speed of advancement was too fast.
She stayed in the Ninth Star Ocean for less than a year, and with the help of her adopted father, she raised from the rank of a Divine King to the rank of a Divine Overlord. Right now, only three more months had passed before she surpassed the rank of a divine overlord and entered the first rank of a divine Saint. This was faster than the speed of a rocket!
However, although she increased in a whole rank this time, her spirit beasts didn’t. They had just advanced, so they needed a lot more power. A single advancement in rank wasn’t enough for them to increase theirs as well.
However, they still grew a lot stronger. If You Yue were to advance in rank again, they wouldn’t be too far behind.
First ranked spirit saint. She really wanted to go into the spirit pagoda to test out her new power as s spirit saint. However, with Little Seven around, she couldn’t actually do it.
Sima Lie and the others could sense the fluctuations of her advance in rank as well and they all rushed towards her courtyard. She was hurt, so it probably wasn’t her. Ximen Feng and the others had left as well, so it definitely wasn’t them. As such, they were worried whether or not someone with malicious intent had broken in. They were worried that the person would harm You Yue.
However, when they came to her courtyard and saw Sima You Yue walking to the front door, they were stunned.
That aura that had yet to stabilise… didn’t it belong to an advanced spirit saint? She had advanced to the spirit saint rank?
“You Yue. The one who advanced just now… was you?” Yin Lan asked tentatively.
“Yeah.” Sima You Yue smiled.
“You… how did you advance? Aren’t you injured?”
Sima You Yue thought about it for a moment and said, “I don’t know either. I was sleeping when I advanced.”
Pfft-
Everyone was stunned. She could advance in rank just by sleeping?
“Ha ha ha, regardless of how you did it, it’s great that you did!” Sima Lie guffawed, “Has your mental state recovered?”
“Not completely. But it’s a lot better.” Sima You Yue said with a smile, “It needs a bit more, but I just have to nurture it a little more.”
They knew she had spirit fluid, so her nourishment should refer to that.
“Great! Great! It’s great that it’s great!” Sima Lie was ecstatic. Sima You Yue’s previous condition had given him great heartache. She was always weak and listless. It was better for her to be like this now.
Yin Lan, Sang Mo Yu and Bei Gong Hang were happy for her as well, once they got over the initial shock. Sima Lie was right. Regardless of how she advanced in rank, as long as she didn’t use any deviant methods, it was a good thing.
“The way you are now is truly so much better. You Yue, you have to be careful in the future. You shouldn’t do something so dangerous anymore.” Yin Lan saw that Sima You Yue was the same as her daughter. She had fallen unconscious from her wounds, causing her heartache as wlel.
“I’ll take note.” Sima You Yue said.
She would take note in the future not to use so much of her mental energy to enter such a formless place. Initially, whenever her mental energy drained, she only needed a month’s worth of rest to heal up. However, because she entered that formless place, she needed around a year and a half’s worth of time.
She suddenly glanced at a space in the air and felt as if she saw some kind of ripple.
Her mental state had yet to fully recover, but she was still slightly more powerful than they were. A ripple that close to her was one that she could still sense.
An opening appeared in the air as a group of people walked out from there. When they saw Sima You Yue inside the courtyard, they immediately pounced…
