“Stop being stupid. With your current strength, you won’t be any help to me.” When Yao Yue heard what Ye Mo said, her frosty heart melted slightly. For as long as she could remember, she had been trained by Yao Qingyun into a weapon of the Martial Faction. Therefore, she would never smile and would never love.

Ye Mo’s declaration that he was willing to die together with her touched her heart. She had seen a lot of hypocrites and had heard many lies. The first words to have ever touched her were the ones Ye Mo spoke earlier.

“Have you forgotten what had happened at Skylight City? Never look down on me. Although I am still not your match, I’m capable of defeating Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warriors,” Ye Mo said with a laugh as he released Yao Yue’s cold hand.

“Don’t slow me down as I won’t bother saving you if you fail to keep up,” Yao Yue said with a teasing smile on her face. After removing the middle-aged man’s Dimensional Bracelet, she unfurled her wings and flew out of the Windmoon Restaurant.

Ye Mo also leapt out the window and unfurled his dragon wings and followed after her. The General’s Mansion of Huang Shihu was guarded by a massive military force. Ordinary people would have a hard time approaching the mansion.

A sedan carried by four people was on its way to the General’s Mansion. The person leading this procession was the brothel keeper of Windmoon Restaurant. Ye Mo was walking beside the sedan, pretending to be Yao Yue’s servant.

In truth, the brothel keeper of Windmoon Restaurant was also someone from the Martial Faction that was very good at creating disguises. Her mission was to send Yao Yue to Huang Shihu. The sedan stopped at the entrance of the General’s Mansion, and the brothel keeper walked up with a smile on her face.

“Sirs, you have been hard at work. Hua Ling is here. May I trouble you to report our arrival?” Then, the brothel keeper passed several Mixed Energy Pills into their hands, not forgetting to rub her body against them.

“You may enter,” said one of the soldiers.

The brothel keeper signaled the sedan to enter. However, Ye Mo was stopped outside.

“Who is he?” asked the soldier.

“He is the servant of Miss Hua Ling. Miss Hua Ling likes to recite poems during her free time. Therefore, she has a servant prepare ink and paper for her hobby,” said the brothel keeper as she passed them a few more Mixed Energy Pills. She then added, “Come to the Windmoon Restaurant tonight. I will introduce some new girls to you.”

After entering the General Mansion, Ye Mo found that the mansion was filled with soldiers. Every part of the mansion was heavily guarded, and each soldier was at Energy Shaping Sixth Realm.

“The General’s Mansion is indeed no simple place.”

Ye Mo followed behind the sedan with his head lowered. Under the lead of the mansion’s housekeeper, they stopped in front of a certain building.

“Miss Hua Ling, please enter the Sparrow Immortal Pavilion and take a rest. The general still has some business to attend to and will only be able to come later tonight.”

Yao Yue got off the sedan. Then, four maids walked out of the Sparrow Immortal Pavilion and accompanied her into the pavilion.

“Kid, stop right there. Why are you going in?”

As Ye Mo was about to enter the Sparrow Immortal Pavilion as well, a cold voice rang in the air.

“Housekeeper Huang, he is Miss Hua Ling’s servant,” explained the brothel keeper.

“Servant?”

The housekeeper sized up Ye Mo and said, “You don’t have to enter. We have maids to serve Miss Hua Ling. All of you may leave with the sedan porters.”

“This General’s Mansion is indeed tight with their security.” Ye Mo lowered his head and started thinking of a way to remain in the mansion.

The General’s Mansion had strict security; even a housefly would be discovered flying in. If he left, it would be hard for him to enter again.

“Housekeeper, I am Miss’s servant. I have always been the one grinding her ink. She is not used to the ink prepared by other people,” Ye Mo explained deferentially with his head lowered.

“Oh?” The housekeeper said in astonishment before looking at Yao Yue with a flattering smile. “Miss Hua Ling, what do you think?”

“Tell him to leave. I am not in the mood to paint anything today.”

Yao Yue then gazed deeply at Ye Mo and softly muttered three words before entering the pavilion. From how her mouth moved, Ye Mo knew that the three words were “I am sorry.” Yao Yue had ultimately decided to finish this mission herself.

“Miss!” Ye Mo shouted.

“Why are you shouting? Leave now. Miss Hua Ling does not feel like painting today. Since your service is not required today, leave.” Next, the shopkeeper ordered two soldiers to escort Ye Mo and the others out of the mansion.

“Damn it!” Ye Mo clenched his fists and followed behind the two soldiers.

The soldiers led them out through the rear courtyard. Even the rear courtyard was heavily guarded. There were soldiers patrolling at nearly all times. Any movement within the courtyard would not escape their notice.

When they walked past the rock garden, Ye Mo frowned as he looked around. This was an extremely well-hidden area. Without hesitation, he snapped his fingers and sent two energy swords out. Two holes instantly appeared on the back of the heads of the two soldiers before they collapsed onto the ground.

“Hide here,” Ye Mo said as his body vanished into thin air.

Whoosh!

A black figure streaked through the sky at an extremely high speed. One would have a hard time noticing this black figure amid the dark night. Regular warriors would have to use their energy wings if they wanted to fly in the air. Therefore, they would be easily detected in this situation.

It was different for Ye Mo who knew the Windwalk Technique. In his black attire, he dashed through the dark night. Not even Energy Shaping Ninth Realm warriors would be able to see him.

There were seven floors in the pavilion. Ye Mo reached the top floor with a single leap and went through the window to enter the floor.

“Brother Ye Mo, I already scanned the building. Within the pavilion, there is only Yao Yue and the four maids. All of them are on the second floor,” Ling’er said after she scanned the building.

Ye Mo nodded and started relaxing his nerves. He scanned his surroundings and found that this pavilion was indeed lavishly decorated. He did not hesitate as he slowly walked the floor. Before Yao Yue noticed him, he hid in the ceiling beams and withdrew his presence to completely conceal himself.

From where he was hidden, he could clearly see everything going on in the pavilion and kept himself hidden at the same time. Currently, Yao Yue was seated before the dressing table while a maid was meticulously putting makeup on her.

“General Huang Shihu has arrived.” An announcement rang in the air. After a short while, a man donning a silver armor and holding his helmet in his hand slowly entered the second floor.

This person was Huang Shihu, the general of the kingdom. Ye Mo held his breath and stared straight at Huang Shihu, his eyes filled with killing intent.

“Miss Hua Ling, I did not expect that you would actually come. I thought you were joking when you said that,” Huang Shihu said with a loud laugh the moment he arrived.

Yao Yue stood up and slightly bowed at Huang Shihu. With a smile, she said, “It is my good fortune to be able to receive the general’s favor. I hope the general will be gentle with me.”

“Haha, raise your head and let me have a good look at you.”

Huang Shihu laughed as he locked his eyes on Yao Yue. Yao Yue slowly raised her head and revealed her absolutely breathtaking face.

“Someone comparable to the imperial concubine in looks actually exists in this world.” Huang Shihu gulped as he was rendered speechless. He had only seen half of Hua Ling’s face before. Now that he got a look of her full face, he confirmed that she was indeed a woman of remarkable beauty.

“Thank you for the praise, general,” Yao Yue replied.

“You four, leave now.”

Huang Shihu was no longer able to hold back. The only thing he wanted to do was to lay Hua Ling on his bed and pounce on her.
