Chapter 323 - Do you wish to kill your husband?
Milky white pills were rare to see. Wu Lingyu looked at it carefully, and noticed that there was an unusual pattern on the pill.
“Patterned pills?” He asked Sima You Yue in surprise. He never thought that she could make patterns appear on a grade five alchemy pill. Normally, it was only on grade seven or on some grade six pills that patterns would appear on the pills. The marks signify that these pills have a greater effect than other pills. But to see marks on a grade five pill, not only was it his first time, but that even if Old Man Devil himself made these pills, there probably would not be these marks.
Sima You Yue did not mind his shock, saying, “Mo Sha taught me.”
“He taught you alchemy as well, right?” Wu Lingyu said.
“Mmhm.” Sima You Yue nodded, saying. “Initially he wanted to wait till I could make some higher grade pills before he would get me to make these pills for him. But I never thought that with the spirit sap, that I would no longer be of use to him. Try to see if these pills will work for you, if they do not, I will let you try others.”
“Alright.”
Wu Lingyu consumed the pill, but because he was not familiar with this pill, he wasn’t sure of how effective it would be. If he were to be honest, he did not have high hopes for the pill, because grade five pills had little effect on him. Surprisingly, after he ate the pill he felt his body relax, as if his spirit was about to fly.
“It’s really effective, though?” Sima You Yue never thought that this pill would have an effect on him, because this was simply a pill that she had just made from a random recipe for pills to recover one’s spirit energy. Although her alchemy skills were remarkable, she knew that someone like Wu Lingyu would have eaten many higher graded pills, and a pill like this might not have much effect on him.
After a period of time, Wu Lingyu shut his eyes again.
“Alright, you’ve stayed here for a whole night, please leave quickly.” Sima You Yue said.
Wu Lingyu never thought that this would be the first thing that he would hear upon his waking, and looked at her indignantly and said, “At the start when we were at Pu Luo Mountain Range we shared a bed and a pillow and you never said anything. And now that we’ve established our Senior-Junior brotherly relationship, you chase me away.”
Everything would have been alright if he had not brought up the past, but now that he brought it up, Sima You Yue exploded and grabbed him by his neck, raging, “How dare you bring up those things from the past? You knew that I was a woman, yet you pretended that you were unaware, and lived with me for such a long time to take advantage of me? Just watch, I will kill you today!”
*Cough cough* “Do you want to kill your dear husband?” Wu Lingyu jokingly coughed as he cried out.
“Husband indeed!” Sima You Yue put more force in her hands as she scoffed.
“Junior brother, please do not be so upset, at the most, I’ll let you come back to sleep with me!” Wu Lingyu said.
“To sleep with you?” A voice from the window exclaimed, and scared Sima You Yue.
She turned her head, and was stunned as she realised who it was at the window.
Her body was straddled across Wu Lingyu’s, her hands strangling his neck.
“Third… Third Brother…”
Sima You Ran jumped through the window, and pulled Sima You Yue over. “What happened? Did he bully you? Tell your Third Brother, I’ll teach him a lesson even if he is your Senior Brother.”
“Third… Third Brother, it’s nothing, really.” Sima You Yue looked at Sima You Ran’s enraged figure, and tried to diffuse the situation.
“It’s nothing? He has even slept with you and you call that nothing?” Sima You Ran exclaimed. “Tell me, did he force it upon you?”
Sima You Yue looked at Sima You Ran’s being, and quickly held on to him, saying, “It’s not what you imagine it to be.”
“Then what is it?” Sima You Ran stared at Sima You Yue, and she rubbed her neck in shock.
“It was that time at the academy, when we were selecting our beast eggs, I was sent to the Pu Luo Mountain Range, right? I saved him at the mountain, and he was very seriously injured, and so to let me make amends, he let me take care of him for a period of time.” Sima You Yue said. “Originally, I wanted to train at the mountain as well, so I agreed. But because there was only one bed, we had to sleep together. At that time, Grandfather’s pill was given to him for his recovery.”
“Just like that?” Sima You Ran looked at Sima You Yue, blinking, using his eyes to ask her, “Did he not know that you were a woman?”
“He didn’t know.” Sima You Yue blinked back.
If Sima You Ran knew that Wu Lingyu knew that Sima You Yue was female and had even kissed her, there was no way that Wu Lingyu would be able to get out of this situation alive.
“I see. That’s fine then.” Sima You Ran’s anger dissipated, and he turned to Wu Lingyu and said, “Your Highness, I know you are powerful, and up there you have a honourable title. But if you hurt my Fifth Brother, even if it takes my life, I will avenge him.”
Wu Lingyu never knew that Sima You Ran and the others were so protective of Sima You Yue. As he remembered the attitude that Sima You Yue had towards them, he realised that if he could not win over her family, they would become a hindrance in the future.
“Don’t worry, You Yue is my Junior Brother, I definitely will not bully him. If anyone bullies him, I will protect him.” Wu Lingyu said.
Sima You Yue turned to glare icily at Wu Lingyu: I’ll let it go this time, humph!
Wu Lingyu got off the bed, and straightened his tunic, saying, “Junior Brother, I have matters to attend to, so I’ll be on my way! I had wanted to accompany you to the Little Worlds, but if Master comes back before I return, please go ahead on your own.”
“Where are you going?” As she came to her senses, she realised that where Wu Lingyu was going was more dangerous.
I want to take a look at the Ocean Boundary, you guys in the mainland here seem to be going through some things, that old man in the Sage Pavilion keeps pestering me to check things out.” Wu Lingyu said. “I don’t want to go, but since I’m part of the Sage Pavilion, I can’t not listen to what he says”
“The Ocean Boundary has not been at peace for these couple of years, please be careful when you go.” Sima You Yue said.
“I got it.” Wu Lingyu said. He made a portal in the space, and crossed over.
It was only after he left, that Sima You Yue was able to respond again.
“He left just like that?” He asked.
“That’s right. They have the power to pass over space to go where they want to.” Sima You Yue said.
“Fifth Brother, at that time, did he really not know that you were a woman?” Sima You Ran asked doubtfully.
Sima You Yue nodded, saying, “I was wearing a illusory disguise, so he wasn’t able to recognise me. There wasn’t anything between us either, I only took care of him for a while, that’s all.”
“But when you encountered him at Dragon Reflection Mountain you were so upset, and you had even hit him.” Sima You Ran did not believe her.
“That was because he had originally said that he was going to give me three, but he had only gave me two.” Sima You Yue lied unabashedly, “Thankfully Grandfather was alright after having just two pills, if not I would have to avenge this wrongdoing!”
Sima You Ran saw that Sima You Yue’s angsty appearance was not a false one, and nodded, saying, “As long as he didn’t take advantage of you.”
Sima You Yue laughed, saying, “If someone was going to be taken advantage of, it would be me taking advantage of someone, not the other way round!”
Although she was smiling outwardly, she was cursing on the inside. This punk, even though he was her senior brother, he had better not let her find a chance to teach him a lesson
“Right, Third Brother, what did you come here to find me for?”
