Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2681 Provocation
In the still night breeze, one could almost hear Ying Baoyue's disordered breathing.

Ji Jiashu felt his blood run cold and dared not utter a sound.

Chunyu Ye's words were sharper than his knife, as if they could pierce into everyone's heart.

"You don't need to provoke me like that."

However, Ying Baoyue's breathing only became erratic for a moment before she quickly regained her composure.

"You're just saying this to test whether I can find Li Ji's whereabouts."

Chunyu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, a half-smile playing on his lips. "How do you know I'm not telling the truth?"

If Ying Baoyue didn't believe it, why would she have erratic breathing?
"If you're sincere, why are you telling me all this?" Ying Baoyue said. "I didn't know you cared so much about my relationship with the Azure Dragon God."

"Even if my relationship with Him is parasitic, what does it have to do with you?"

Ying Baoyue stared at Chunyu Ye's emerald eyes and smiled, "Do you perhaps want to replace Aji in my heart?"

Chunyu Ye froze.

Ji Jiashu covered his face.

A single, decisive blow.

Chunyu Ye knew how to stab Ying Baoyue in the heart, and Ying Baoyue also knew how to deal with Chunyu Ye.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Have you no shame?" Chunyu Ye held his breath, almost choking.

"Who told you to test me?" Ying Baoyue glanced at him. "We've known each other for so long, can't you be a little more honest?"

"What kind of time is this to make me play tricks on you?"

Chunyu Ye held his breath for a long time before finally swallowing it down.

“Alright, I admit it,” Chunyu Ye said calmly, “I just want to know, are you actually able to find Li Ji?”

Although he was the parasite of the White Dog God, he hadn't been able to sense any of the White Dog God's presence these past few days.

No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to get in touch with the other party.

This is truly bizarre.

You should know that even when he tried his best before, he couldn't break free from the control of the White Dog God.

If it weren't for the fact that the parasitic black sludge inside his body hadn't disappeared, he would have really thought that the other party had vanished into thin air.

He simply couldn't believe that Li Ji was really that powerful, capable of completely severing the White Dog God's connection with the outside world.

If there was another person in this world who had a connection with the gods, he could only think of Ying Baoyue, which was why he was willing to risk staying in Yanggao County to see Ying Baoyue.

Ying Baoyue headed north with such certainty, as if she truly knew where Li Ji was.

"You're so concerned about Li Ji's whereabouts, it can't be because you're desperate to save your father, right?"

Chunyu Ye's eyes flickered. "If I said yes, would you believe me?"

That's pretty fake.

Ying Baoyue knew that Chunyu Ye's feelings for Yun Zhongjun were complicated. On one hand, Chunyu Ye couldn't bear to watch his own father die, but on the other hand, if Yun Zhongjun were really in danger, he wouldn't be so eager to save him.

"I just want to confirm whether that person will come back."

Chunyu Ye said calmly, "If he comes back, I'll have a lot of trouble dealing with things here."

That's true.

If Yun Zhongjun is truly dead, Chunyu Ye can rightfully inherit the Zen Temple, and the shackles binding him will be broken.

With Yun Zhongjun's fate now unknown, Chunyu Ye's situation is quite awkward.

Even if I knew, why should I tell you?

Ying Baoyue was speechless. "You haven't forgotten, have you? We are mortal enemies."

“Of course I won’t forget,” Chunyu Ye wasn’t so naive. “If you tell me the real answer, I can promise not to attack you before the Qin army reaches the Yongye Great Wall.”

What kind of exchange condition is this?
Ying Baoyue laughed angrily, "Do you think your forces can stop the Qin army from reaching the Great Wall of Eternal Night?"

“I can’t stop you, but I can still annoy you,” Chunyu Ye raised an eyebrow. “My men are short of food.”

With his abilities, he could indeed set up an ambush and win with fewer troops.

Ying Baoyue will never forget that this is the North, and this is the battlefield of the Western Rong people.

Chunyu Ye had previously led his Zen monastery's troops on a long detour through Southern Chu rather than engage in battle, precisely because he knew the Western Rong were not adept at fighting in the south. He preferred to preserve his strength and return to the Western Rong cavalry's home turf for a later fight. Chunyu Ye might have suffered a defeat against her in the south, but that didn't mean he would do the same in the north.

It would be best if nothing went wrong once the army reached the Great Wall of Night.

“Even if you tell me Li Ji’s whereabouts, I still can’t get in, let alone risk rescuing the White Dog God and my father,” Chunyu Ye stared intently at Ying Baoyue. “This is a worthwhile deal.”

Ying Baoyue was silent for a moment, then said, "Why should I believe you?"

Hasn't he lied to her quite a few times?
When we first met, even his name was fake.

“Then there’s nothing we can do,” Chunyu Ye said calmly, gripping the sword at his waist. “Let’s meet on the battlefield.”

Ying Baoyue stared into his eyes for three seconds, then sighed softly.

"Okay, I'll tell you."

"I can't sense any trace of him, I don't know where he is, or even in what direction he's roughly."

Chunyu Ye was stunned. "This is it... and you dare to send troops?"

He originally thought that Ying Baoyue at least had some idea of ​​what was going on.

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

In the past, he was the one who manipulated others, but this time Chunyu Ye strongly suspected that he was being manipulated by Ying Baoyue.

Do you think this little bit of information is enough to get my promise?

Of course not. Although it was a verbal agreement, verbal agreements between Heavenly Realm cultivators are not so simple.

"but……"

"But what?"

"I'm going to see him tonight."

"Who are you looking for?"

Ji Jiashu and Chunyu Ye spoke almost in unison.

“Ah Ji,” Ying Baoyue said as naturally as eating and drinking, “our army is almost at the Great Wall of Eternal Night. It’s not right if we don’t figure out where he’s hiding.”

Attacking a city is a perilous undertaking, what if Yun Zhongjun and Bai Quanshen escape halfway through the battle?
For both public and private reasons, she had to find Li Ji.

She was already upset about this matter, and Chunyu Ye's sudden interference only strengthened her resolve to continue this plan.

How do I find it?

He made the request, but when Chunyu Ye heard Ying Baoyue's plan, he was caught off guard.

Seeing Ji Jiashu's reaction beside him, he was also startled.

"Don't worry about that," Ying Baoyue said calmly. "I have my own methods."

"Didn't you say I was controlled by a god?"

Ying Baoyue smiled, "We'll see who's the master and who's the slave tonight."

Chunyu Ye inexplicably felt that Ying Baoyue's smile was somewhat terrifying.

He suddenly realized something.

That is, Ying Baoyue was actually angry about Li Ji's decision to cut off contact on his own.

She was angry.

This is an invisible anger.

Chunyu Ye didn't know where Li Ji was, but he suddenly felt a pang of sorrow for the dragon.

That guy's finished.

……

……

Immersed in ice water, whether human or god, anyone who doesn't die will fall into a long sleep.

Li Ji suddenly woke up from his dream, not knowing which day or night it was.

"That is……"

He just had a dream in which he was a giant skeleton.
