As expected, after she finished speaking, Ghost Concubine almost vomited blood.
“About that, this isn’t due to rank ascension, so it won’t drag everyone in like it did back in Sheep City. However, Yu Hao has already been considered as one of the targets.” After speaking, she even smiled apologetically at Ghost Concubine.
“Wh-What!” Ghost Concubine was so angry that she trembled with rage. She actually dragged Yu Hao into the tribulation?
“Queen, stay your anger. Wasn’t I just acting in self defence? Relax, I had considered for the Royal Palace and so the lightning tribulation isn’t too powerful. He won’t die as long as his rank is Underworld Saint and above.” Sima You Yue explained as everyone’s complexions turned pale.
As she spoke, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky, and the place it appeared was precisely where the dark palace was.
“You-” Ghost Concubine didn’t even have time to scold her before she disappeared.
Everyone here knew what she had gone to do. Yu Hao had never focused on cultivating at all, so how could his rank possibly be at the Underworld Saint? If this lightning really struck, how could he possibly survive?
However, they also knew that the lightning tribulation had to strike a person. Since Yu Hao was unable to handle this, then someone would have to take it in his stead. However, within it was such an urgent situation and there were also no guards in the ark palace, so Ghost Concubine would naturally rush over to take the brunt of the lightning tribulation.
Also, after going into the dark palace, she would only be able to come out with Yu Hao at the end of three days. After being injured by the lightning strike, she would still have to stay in that place for three days. They could only imagine the rage that would burn in Ghost Concubine’s heart.
After taking another look at Sima You Yue who had such an apologetic expression, no matter how they thought about it, it didn’t seem like a coincidence.
Seeing that the lightning tribulation was about to strike, she flew into the sky and caught the lightning tribulation in midair, stopping it from striking the Royal Palace. Adding on to that, the protective array of the Royal Palace, none of those in the Royal Palace suffered any harm. However, when they saw the lightning tribulation strike the places above their heads, the terror in their hearts took a very long time to fade.
Also, this was what she described as a small-scale lightning tribulation. If it was big…
They had decided. In the future, they would definitely have to stay far away from her and definitely not make any trouble for Sima You Yue!
What if she was suddenly in a bad mood or had nothing better to do than to play around with her lightning? They did not have the strength to play with her!
Sima You Yue was in the sky and her mouth hooked into a smile as she looked at everyone’s faces of terror. Once Ghost Concubine appeared, these people were even less likely to make trouble for her.
Once she entered the palace, even if some people came to cause trouble for her, no matter who came, she had planned to blow up the situation. She had to warn these people. Otherwise, if they kept on coming to cause trouble for her, she would have no time or energy to deal with them.
However, she didn’t think that the very first person to cause trouble for her would be Yu Hao. This was a pleasant surprise that was outside of her expectations. She had already started plotting the moment that she knew that he had come to the Youthful Palace. This time, if she didn’t peel off a layer of Ghost Concubine’s skin, her name was not Sima You Yue!
“Why does it seem like the lightning tribulation over at the dark palace seems to have gotten stronger while the lightning over where You Yue is is a lot lighter?” A maid voiced her confusion.
“It does seem to be the case. The lightning over at that side is more intense in quantity and strength.”
This realisation caused everyone to purse their lips. How was this Sima You Yue going through tribulation? It was obviously targeting someone else! Furthermore, how did this tribulation cloud know her intention? It was actually helping her deal with her enemy. This point was cause for consideration.
Although she said it was one of a small scale, it still lasted for a long time. Sima You Yue only returned when the tribulation cloud was gone.
They saw that her clothes were not even ruffled. She didn’t look like she had gone through a lightning tribulation at all but had gone upstairs to play.
As expected, she was a strange creature! She was from the ghost clan but she wasn’t afraid of lightning.
“Done playing around?” Ghost King looked at her, his tone pampering.
Those maids, princes and princesses exchanged glances. The ghost king’s attitude was obvious that he was aware of her intentions but had no plans to punish her.
He was really spoiling her like he spoilt her mother!
When they thought about her mother, everyone had their own thoughts.
Sima You Yue pouted, “How was I playing around? I was really afraid, okay.”
“Don’t mess around in the Royal Palace again.” Ghost King didn’t believe her and nagged her before leaving. Seeing that he had left, those who had come to watch the show left as well. They had to go?back to prepare for when Ghost Concubine would reappear three days later. Who knew who she would choose to take her anger out on!
Sima You Yue didn’t care that Ghost Concubine would cause trouble for her once she came out. In any case, she wouldn’t dare to provoke her during this time. She would have some peace for the time being. After thinking about this, her mood improved.
She returned to the ground and Yu Xi and the others surrounded her.
“Young Princess, are you alright?”
“I’m fine. A lightning tribulation of this degree is just for fun!” Sima You Yue said with a smile.
Eh, didn’t she just say she wasn’t playing around just now!
“Young Princess, you are so powerful. You’re actually not afraid of lightning tribulation!”
“You’ll get used to it after getting struck a few times. Do you want to give it a go?” Sima You Yue looked at them very sincerely.
“No way!” Everyone ran away immediately. They didn’t have her weird physique that was able to withstand even lightning. If the lightning were really to strike them, they would be half dead!
“Hehe, there’s no need to fear. It’s painful in the beginning, but there’s benefits in the end!” Sima You Yue said.
Everyone shook their heads frantically like a rattle-drum.
“Young Princess, don’t tease us anymore. How could we ever compare to you.” Yu Xi said with a smile that was immediately followed by worry. “This time, Ghost Concubine definitely has painted a target on your back. We don’t know what she will do to you in the future!”
“Even if this incident didn’t happen, she wouldn’t let me off anyway.” Sima You Yue said, “However, with this incident, she wouldn’t dare to attack me openly. As long as I don’t go out, I’ll be fine.”
“That’s true. Then, Young Princess, you should avoid heading out of the palace.”
In any case, they already had a death feud with each other. Even if this incident didn’t happen, Ghost Concubine didn’t plan to leave her alive. Since that was the case, there was no need to worry about whether or not she would offend her. She might as well think about it after the satisfying incident today. She would think about the consequences next time.
“Don’t worry, I have my own plans.” She took out some pills, “Hand this out for everyone to eat, then return to recover. There’s nothing much to do around this palace anyway.”
After speaking she returned to the side palace and prepared to continue studying that primordial array.
Black Shadow and Huan saw that she was doing well enough so they didn’t bother her and continued their game of chess.
Their game had been going on for a few days but had not concluded. Who knew whether or not they were playing chess or dragging the time.
“Did you have fun?” Wu Lingyu smiled teasingly at her.
“It was alright. Actually, I wanted to personally see how they would look when they appear three days later, but I’m afraid that someone will beat me up if I’m too obviously happy, so I’d better lay low after all.”
To say that she wanted to lie low at this point in time… didn’t she feel like it was too late to say so?
