Chapter 213: A harsh stroke
West Moon King heard Sima You Yue speak this way and began to walk out in cold sweat. If Halcyon was angry, they would undoubtedly fall into disaster this night.
“Honored guest, please stay your anger. I will immediately punish her!”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and immediately stabbed his sword into Qin Mo’s heart.
Qin Mo was stunned when she sat up and heard them say that he was a sacred beast and had yet to recover her senses when she was impaled. She raised her head and stared at West Moon Emperor in disbelief.
“Emperor…”
She cried out weakly as her body slowly fell to one side and was never to move again.
Sima You Yue and the others pursed their lips. This guy had no hesitation in killing off his own people at all!
However, they had no other choice. After all, the opponent was just too powerful.
“Is this satisfactory?” West Moon Emperor turned around and asked cautiously.
“Sigh, our family’s Halcyon has said that he has never encountered this kind of thing since he came out. His heart is filled with unhappiness.” Sima You Yue said, “In the beginning, there was a princess who tried to kill us. Today, goes without saying as we were suddenly ambushed in the night. We were even cursed as lower class. This is truly the biggest insult to a Sacred Beast!”
“If it’s possible, please allow the royal family to compensate you for this offense!” West Moon Emperor was someone who had lived many years. How could he not understand what Sima You Yue was hinting at. However, he really had no choice. He could only do his best to please them if they wanted to act this way. Otherwise, they would lose more than this with a single act of the Sacred Beast.
As a result, West Moon Emperor passed the night in Sima You Yue and the other’s guest room. Such that nobody outside would ever know what transpired between them. They only knew that the West Moon Emperor walked out with an ugly expression on the second day.
This Sima You Yue… his heart was truly too black! This was currently the cry of the West Moon Emperor’s heart. Seeing that there were two more Spirit Paragons who still had breaths left in them, he ordered, “Bring them back! Take all those dead with us and we’ll settle it downstairs.”
The imperial guards were about to act when Halcyon’s voice carried out from inside, “Since they’ve come, just leave them here!”
After he finished speaking, the five corpses and two half dead men turned into blood mists and disappeared.
The eyes of West Moon Emperor and the imperial bodyguards bulged. This was not something that any normal Sacred beast could do!
“Luckily! Luckily!” West Moon Emperor patted his chest. ALthough he had lost quite a few treasures, at least the other party had been placated. If Halcyon acted this way to them, they would not be able to retaliate at all.
Sima You Yue sent the West Moon Emperor off with a smile. She turned around and saw that every single one of them was looking at her as if she was despicable.
“Hey hey hey, what kind of expressions are those?” Sima You Yue glared at them with dissatisfaction.
“Older Brother, just now, you were acting like a gangster who was robbing and stealing from people!” Little Tu voiced out what everyone was secretly thinking.
“Little Tu, you’ve spoken wrongly!” Bei Gong Tang patted his head.
“Wrongly?” Little Tu looked at Bei Gong Tang with confusion.
Bei Gong Tang paused for a while before saying, “She wasn’t acting like a gangster. She IS a gangster. Understand?”
“It’s still Bei Gong who understands me… ” Hey! Sima You Yue had yet to finish speaking when she heard what Bei Gong Tang said and the last word died in her throat.
However, she had truly taken quite a bit of treasure from the West Moon Emperor. She even took two profound grade spirit skill books.
Very quickly, the West Moon Emperor sent the things over. Sima You Yue scanned the interspatial ring for a bit and it truly was an empire. So many treasures were sent over in such a short period of time. It seems that the foundation was strong! Not bad, not bad.
Seeing the smirk on Sima You Yue’s face, Fatty Qu put his hand on her shoulder, saying, “You Yue, you clearly have so many things. Why do you still desire the things of the West Moon Emperor?”
Sima You Yue looked disapprovingly at Fatty Qu and said with a seriously face, “Such a wastral! One who never experiences being the head of the household won’t understand how expensive the daily necessities are. We have so many people and such a high level of consumption. One day, everything we have will be used up. We can’t sit down and feed off the air can we? One needs to open a source in order to reduce outflow, right?”
Everyone’s lips pursed when they heard her speak such shameless words.
The things in the Spirit Pagoda were renewable. Furthermore, there was such a capable steward. He could farm all on his own and there was definitely no way that they could use up everything, okay!
She kept these things into her Spirit Pagoda. Little Spirit would naturally take care of it. After that, she stretched lazily, saying, “The weather is really nice today. Really great for sleeping. We’ll wait until tomorrow, after we’ve participated in the West Moon Emperor’s birthday, then we’ll take the Teleportation array to the West Moon Kingdom.”
After she finished speaking, she went back to her own room joyfully.
The West Moon Emperor heard the imperial guard’s report with a grimace. His heart ached whenever he thought about how he had given Sima You Yue and the others so many things.
“Good thing they will be leaving after tomorrow. If they continued to stay here, I don’t know what other ideas they would come up with!” West Moon Emperor lamented softly, as if he was afraid that Halcyon would be able to hear them even here.
“Men, go and check on the things we need for the banquet tomorrow. Send out news about the Sacred beast as well. Let those who wish to come, come with an extra bit of brain and eyes. Let them not offend those whom they should not offend!” West
Moon Emperor ordered.
“Yes, Emperor.”
The imperial guards left, passing on what the West Moon Emperor said to every single power who was participating in this banquet. He told them that they were absolutely not to provoke Sima You Yue and the others. If anyone were to disrespect them, there would be a harsh penalty that awaited them.
Actually, there was no need for the West Moon Emperor to send his men to deliver this news as information of the Sacred Beast had long since been passed around the capital. Perhaps, it was only Qin Mo, along with the few Spirit Paragons who were in seclusion, who rushed up stupidly to kill them without first finding out more details.
As a result, on the second day at the banquet, everyone who saw Sima You Yue and the others were all extremely respectful. They had no wish to follow in the footsteps of the Domineering army.
The entire banquet was practically the same. Sima You Yue and the others were extremely bored, so they left Halcyon there and went back to the courtyard in the afternoon.
With Halcyon around, everyone did not dare to say that they were arrogant. They were even worried about whether or not they had done something to cause them to leave early.
The teleportation array to the Central Wu Kingdom would only open tomorrow. As a result, they each went back on their own to cultivate.
Everyone thought of the present that they gave the West Moon Emperor. It was all arranged for by Sima You Yue. Before they went back to the room, Bei Gong Tang asked what she had given the West Moon Emperor. After she heard it, she could not help but break out into cold sweat.
Wei Zi Qi and the others walked over, asking, “What present did You Yue give the West Moon Emperor?”
Bei Gong Tang said lightly, “She said that she chose an extremely valuable item within the things that the West Moon Emperor sent over, as a gift.”
“Pfft-”
The few of them laughed immediately. Taking the person’s items and returning them… although they were very precious, wasn’t this playing with them?
It was only her who could do this kind of cruel things.
After the banquet was over, West Moon Emperor thought of the present that Sima You Yue and the others had given him and got his guards to look for it as he wanted to see what they would gift him.
He had gifted them so many things, no matter what, the other party would have to gift him something valuable right.
However, when he saw the item in the box, the West Moon Emperor completely lost his calm. He almost smashed that item!
Furthermore, Sima You Yue had placed a note inside, writing, “We from the mountain have nothing precious. We could only choose the most precious item we currently have to gift the Emperor. Long live the emperor!”
“Pa-”
The cup in the West Moon Emperor’s hand was mercilessly shattered.
