What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? - Chapter 209
It was unclear why Ye Yu insisted on keeping Xiang Yuansheng by his side, but since he said so, there must be a reason for it.
Huangfu Baizhi immediately stepped forward, unleashing the terrifying pressure unique to the Tribulation Crossing realm.
In an instant, Xiang Yuansheng felt an overwhelming surge of pressure.
He looked at Huangfu Baizhi in disbelief.
He had heard before that this Empress of the Great Yong Dynasty was once a battle-hardened general, well-versed in military strategy, and quite formidable in strength.
But he had never imagined that she was actually a grand cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing realm.
Truly, everyone has their own aspirations.
She was already at the Tribulation Crossing realm, why be an Empress?
Why not retreat and focus on cultivation, strive to overcome the heavenly tribulation, and ascend, proving the Dao?
Why cling to the mortal world?
Xiang Yuansheng’s expression turned extremely grim.
With a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing realm watching over him, he didn’t dare make any reckless moves.
So, he could only force an awkward smile and say, “Fine, fine, since His Majesty wants me to stay and watch the show, then I’ll stay and watch!”
Ye Yu revealed a playful smile, hands clasped behind his back, quietly watching the scene unfold ahead.
Time passed bit by bit.
The cultivators of the Great Xia Dynasty were gradually showing signs of defeat. Their casualties continued to mount.
In contrast, the Great Yong Dynasty’s loyal cultivators grew more and more valiant as they fought. With each enemy they killed, they would also sever the head and collect it.
This was a habit they had developed on the battlefield.
Kill for military merit!
Military merit exchanges for everything!
Seeing the number of cultivators gathered around Ning Zhi dwindle, Xiang Yuansheng grew increasingly anxious.
Damn it.
Why hasn’t that grand cultivator they hired shown up yet?
Could it be that she backed out, finding the situation too difficult?
Just as Xiang Yuansheng was pondering this, a terrifying pressure suddenly enveloped the entire area.
Up in the sky, purple clouds filled the heavens.
Then, a figure slowly descended.
She was dressed in a purple robe, her appearance breathtaking.
“Who is the Emperor of Great Yong Dynasty? Come forth and accept your death!”
All the loyal cultivators of the Great Yong Dynasty present showed expressions of distress.
Why, out of nowhere, did another female immortal with such terrifying strength show up?
Under the overwhelming pressure of her spiritual energy, they could barely lift their heads.
Huangfu Baizhi narrowed her eyes slightly, gazing at the figure ahead.
She could sense it.
This person was also a grand cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing realm, with considerable strength.
So Huangfu Baizhi immediately spoke softly, “Your Majesty, please leave first. I will hold her off.”
Ye Yu didn’t say a word, but a sudden smile appeared on his face.
Standing nearby, Xiang Yuansheng, on the other hand, seemed very excited.
She’s here, she’s finally here.
This is a golden opportunity. How could he not sieze it?
“Your Majesty, please hurry and go! You bear the weight of the entire Great Yong Dynasty; nothing must happen to you!”
These words were shouted by Xiang Yuansheng at the top of his lungs, afraid that he wouldn’t draw enough attention.
This action instantly drew a furious glare from Huangfu Baizhi.
This person’s intentions are treacherous!
“Bang!”
Ye Yu kicked Xiang Yuansheng, speaking in annoyance, “Why are you shouting so loudly? Now my ears are ringing!”
“I—I only meant well.”
Xiang Yuansheng’s gaze flickered nervously, then he secretly sent a voice transmission to the newly arrived immortal, “Quick, make your move! What are you waiting for?”
The female immortal immediately rushed forward.
Seeing this, Huangfu Baizhi was about to step forward to confront the enemy, but Ye Yu raised a hand to stop her.
“Don’t bother!”
With that, Ye Yu walked straight ahead.
Ning Zhi watched this unfold, her heart filled with joy.
Is this emperor willingly going to his death?
The surrounding cultivators of Great Yong Dynasty, despite their discomfort, hurried as fast as they could towards Ye Yu.
They truly believed that Ye Yu was a good emperor. He must not die like this.
However, their speed was far too inferior to that of the immortal!
Yet, what none of them expected was this:
the female immortal threw herself into Ye Yu’s arms, giving him a big hug.
“What are you doing here? And you’ve become an emperor? I must say, you really do look good in these dragon robes!”
“That’s what I should be asking you. Why aren’t you staying in the Central Continent? What are you doing in the Northern Desolate Continent? Liang Yu!”
Ye Yu’s voice was filled with helplessness.
That’s right.
The external help Xiang Yuansheng had spent a fortune to hire was none other than Liang Yu, a wandering cultivator from the Central Continent.
When it came to this woman, Ye Yu felt rather helpless.
She was determined to become his Dao companion.
Back then, to get her to leave temporarily, Ye Yu had even made a pact about reaching the Tribulation Crossing stage.
As long as Liang Yu could successfully break through to the Tribulation Crossing realm, then they could consider becoming Dao companions.
Unexpectedly, Liang Yu’s cultivation speed turned out to be so fast.
It’s only been a few months, and she’s already successfully broken through to the Tribulation Crossing realm.
In the dream, her speed didn’t seem this fast.
But it was indeed quite interesting.
When Ye Yu saw Liang Yu appear, he couldn’t help but smile.
Because he was certain that Liang Yu would never be harmful to him.
This woman had impure intentions toward him. How could she possibly kill him?
If not for this fact, Ye Yu wouldn’t have walked here so confidently.
Hiss!
Wait a minute.
This woman—hugging is one thing, but her hands are wandering.
This is going too far!
There are hundreds of people around!
Ye Yu feigned anger and said, “Let go! What kind of behavior is this?”
“Hehe!”
Liang Yu stopped her wandering hands. Instead, she wrapped her arms around Ye Yu’s arm.
Then she continued, “I came to the Northern Desolate Continent to earn a dowry. Someone hired me to kill the emperor. The price was pretty high, so I came. It really is fate, don’t you think, husband?”
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuansheng and Ning Zhi’s faces instantly turned pale.
The grand cultivator they hired to assassinate Ye Yu actually started calling him husband?
Isn’t this just pure nonsense?
“Oh? Who hired you to kill me?”
Ye Yu turned his head to look at Xiang Yuansheng, his eyes filled with amusement.
Liang Yu released Ye Yu and, in a flash, appeared in front of Xiang Yuansheng.
With a flick of her finger in mid-air, Liang Yu instantly sealed all of Xiang Yuansheng’s spiritual energy.
“Husband, it was him who hired me to kill you. He offered a top-grade Earth-tier technique, and two thousand spirit stones.”
Ye Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.
Spirit stones were of little consequence, but a top-grade Earth-tier technique was extremely rare. No wonder Liang Yu was willing to take action.
At this moment, Xiang Yuansheng was shocked and speechless.
To have hired an assassin whose target ended up being her own Dao companion.
If there was anyone to blame, it was his own lack of discernment.
He was simply out of luck.
Xiang Yuansheng closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, “If you’re going to kill me, make it quick!”
“Hold on for a moment. Let’s settle our transaction first. You hired me to kill someone, but the target turned out to be my husband.”
“I definitely can’t do that. However, since I’m here, whether you like it or not, you owe me! Those things are my dowry!”
Liang Yu narrowed her eyes slightly, a fierce killing intent emanating from her.
Xiang Yuansheng was completely baffled by this reasoning.
You’re already prepared to kill me, and now you’re still thinking about completing the transaction?
A person shouldn’t behave like this.
It’s too oppressive!
Meanwhile, Huangfu Baizhi watched Liang Yu. There was a slight change in her expression.
