What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 1231

1231 /1286

Seeing the odd expression on Ye Yu’s face, Zhu Xincheng immediately offered an explanation.

“Some time ago, a divine stone mine was discovered in the northern reaches of the Divine Realm!” she began.

“Once I learned of it, I dispatched forces to seize it at once and forbade any word to leak out. I planned to quietly reap tremendous profits.”

“That’s why I brought so many of our Divine Clan members out and only returned yesterday.”

“But in the Divine Realm, there is no wall that doesn’t leak! Just now I received a report from the Extreme Moon Pavilion.”

“The gist of it was: ‘We know about the divine stone mine. That location belongs to our lord’s cultivation grounds, so it’s effectively territory claimed by Extreme Moon Pavilion! You must immediately order your Lieyang Sect to withdraw. Tomorrow we’ll send people to take over. If you refuse, then you’d better be ready for a fight. This isn’t a negotiation—it’s outright seizure!’”

Zhu Xincheng’s tone bore unmistakable arrogance. It was the typical domineering style of Extreme Moon Pavilion: swallow everything whole, never leave a scrap for anyone else. With the backing of the Divine Alliance, they indeed had the power to act this way.

But Zhu Xincheng’s spine was strong—she couldn’t swallow such an insult. To capture that divine stone mine, Lieyang Sect had lost many Divine Clan members. They had only just secured it; now it was being snatched away? That was out of the question.

“True, Lieyang Sect is no match for Extreme Moon Pavilion, but trying to bully us? Don’t dream it!” Zhu Xincheng declared.

Her plan for tonight was to ride through the night to Drunken Heart Valley and call for aid. The Divine Alliance there was also top-tier and had past grudges with Extreme Moon Pavilion. Moreover, Zhu Xincheng enjoyed a measure of friendship with them. She was confident they’d back her, at worst splitting the mine’s profits. That would still be better than letting Extreme Moon Pavilion take everything.

As for Ye Yu’s role, it was simple: he would lead the Lieyang Sect’s Divines to bluff the enemy. According to Zhu Xincheng, most of Extreme Moon Pavilion’s elders were in seclusion; the only one managing affairs now was Seventh Elder Chen Guangju, who had sent the seizure order himself.

Zhu Xincheng believed that the notion of taking the mine solo was entirely his idea, so tomorrow he must lead the team to receive its surrender. Ye Yu’s task was to intimidate him—once Chen Guangju saw Ye Yu’s formidable presence, he would hesitate to act rashly and immediately return to Extreme Moon Pavilion to summon reinforcements. That would buy them time.

After all, Zhu Xincheng planned to bring the Drunken Heart Valley forces to the mine ahead of time. Having Ye Yu wait there was merely an insurance policy. When all was done, ten percent of the mine’s output would be credited to Ye Yu. What did he think?
