"If you’re weak, just practice more."
"......"
Ji Hongxiu’s face looked extremely displeased.
If it weren’t for her significant physical exhaustion lately, she wouldn’t be in such a sorry state; at least catching this arrow wouldn’t have been a problem.
But it was one thing to catch it, and another to be as effortlessly graceful as Yu Youhan, redirecting force. She had to admit, there was indeed a huge gap between them, one that couldn’t be bridged in a short time.
Though she was very annoyed inside, she forced herself not to make a sound.
After all, if it weren’t for this female demon stepping in, she would probably have met her end today...
"Feels good."
Seeing Ji Hongxiu’s frustrated look, Yu Youhan felt immensely refreshed.
This woman, protected by Hong Ling, had challenged her time and again, and now she finally got a big chance to teach her a lesson!
"Let’s see if you dare to challenge this Empress again in the future!"
"Ahem..." Flying over, Chen Mo heard their conversation and looked a bit odd, carefully saying, "Empress, it seems like you’re using all my catchphrases?"
Using others’ sayings without crediting them is equivalent to intellectual property theft, a typical case of academic misconduct...
Yu Youhan’s expression stiffened, and she glared at him, saying coldly, "Whose words are whose? Whoever says them first owns them. What, do you have a problem with that?"
Chen Mo vigorously shook his head and quickly waved his hand, saying, "No, no problem at all. When the Empress says those words, they indeed sound much more imposing!"
"Hmph, that’s more like it." Yu Youhan gently landed before him, frowning, "I promised you I would act at the critical moment, naturally I wouldn’t renege. So why were you in such a hurry to charge over?"
"I saw the situation was critical, and couldn’t control my emotions for a moment..." Chen Mo said.
"Spare me, do you think this Empress doesn’t know what you’re thinking?" Yu Youhan said in a deep voice, "For that Ji woman, you’re willing to risk your life?"
Chen Mo gave a sheepish smile but didn’t defend himself.
Ji Hongxiu heard those words and couldn’t help but be puzzled, "Wait a moment, since you were always observing in secret, you should have noticed something was off long ago. Why did you delay taking action until the last moment..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly came to a realization, her face changing instantly, "You intended to use someone else’s hand to get rid of me?!"
With Yu Youhan’s strength, those demons couldn’t have gotten anywhere near the training ground before being wiped out. The fact that she delayed acting shows it was deliberate, planning to let things play out naturally and watch her get taken down by the Demon Extermination Crossbow!
Seeing her thoughts exposed, Yu Youhan remained calm, speaking in an even tone, "At first, this Empress indeed didn’t know what those demons intended, hoping to leave a few alive for a Soul Search, only to find out they were merely bait to draw the Demon Extermination Crossbow’s ire."
"Since the Crossbow Arrow had already fired, this Empress wasn’t in a hurry anymore."
"If you could catch it, there was no need for me to intervene. But if you died on the spot, it merely highlighted your lack of skill. How does that equate to using a borrowed knife to kill someone?"
