Vol 7 Chapter 13 (2/2)

“What is this you’re trying to do? You want to kill me?” Yu Ji’s voice was hollow and ethereal as ever but I detected a faint hint of contempt. Well, under such circ.u.mstances, her contempt is justified.

But, I won’t do such silly things.

“… Then what about this?” I slowly moved the sabre to my throat.

“Oi, what are you doing?” She didn’t turn to look at me but she seemed to know what I was doing. As expected of a deity cla.s.s character.

“Since Lord Yu Ji is so adamant on following the footsteps of history. may I ask what will happen if Liu Bei dies at this time?”

She sank into silence. Clearly, she didn’t want to budge because of this.

“I have a lot of things to ask you but at this time, it looks like I’ll have to do a little experiment of my own.” I pressed her further.

Personally speaking, this wasn’t a bluff at all. I’ve been through a lot while I’mhere but I still hoped to return home one day. It is possible that I can just return to the future by ending my life here, and I’m willing to gamble if need be.

Just as I made my resolve, she continued, “… If Liu Bei dies once, then perhaps there might be a way. But Liu Bei can’t die now.”

She muttered in an audible tone but I didn’t understand what she really meant by those words even though I heard them clearly. She then extended her hand and placed it on Bo Fu’s chest.

“Oi! Are you still going to do it?” The first thought that came to mind was that she didn’t want to budge from her position.

“Relax, I’m just lifting the curse.” I never expected that she would,” You’ve won.”

At these words, I felt like my entire body relaxed. It wasn’t to the point where my eyes were dazed and my legs were soft, but close enough.

I still didn’t want to die of course, so it’s only a last resort of last resorts.

“I really don’t understand why you’re doing this.” Yu Ji continued to speak, to both me and herself, in a tone that seemed perplexed as to why I couldn’t give an answer that was satisfactory to her.

“I don’t understand either. You both have no enmity between you so why must you take the life of a great person?”

“Hai, never mind.”

She didn’t want to continue arguing with me, which made me feel that she had other tricks up her sleeve. Only when I looked at Bo Fu and saw that she no longer had a pained expression did I rest easy and stop suspecting her.

“But now that Sun Ce will not die, the path which history will take will be harder to predict.” Yu Ji got up for the first time and turned to me as she said so, “Are you ready to be responsible as the primary instigator for the changes in history?”

While she said this, her gaze turned to the people outside. If I’m not wrong, she’s currently looking at Lu Bu Lu Feng Xian.

I understand where she’s coming from but I haven’t considered that far ahead. You might say it’s selfishness or self-satisfaction but since I’ve seen it, I must save the one in peril.

Especially when it’s Bo Fu.

“Well then, Lord Yu Ji. May I ask what words of warning you wanted to give me?”

“I have none. You have no intent of abiding by them anyway so it should be fine after some time.” Yu Ji continued in her tone that seemed like she understood everything.

“Then I would like to ask, what exactly is this…” I brought out the feather fan from behind me as I said so.

“Don’t be too anxious about that feather fan of yours, it will have its uses eventually.” She didn’t look at me but she knew what I was talking about, “You don’t need to ask me about the rest as well. When the time comes, you will receive the answers. Your coming here is not my work after all.”

“Wu…” Just 2-3 sentences of her silenced a mountain of questions I was about to throw at her. She really seemed like she knew what I was thinking. Since she’s said as much, I’ll leave it be for now,

“Alright, I understand.”

Yu Ji nodded, and sighed, “I thought about it. There are some things I shouldn’t be saying but before I leave, I’m still going to give you some words of advice. Remember, this is advice, not a warning, so you may listen to it, or not.”

“Go ahead.”

“Starting from now, please think of Cao Cao as an enemy from the bottom of your heart. If not, you will meet with tragedy in future.”

She then dusted her sleeves and when I blinked, she disappeared.

In the room, all that was left was a healthy Bo Fu and a troubled me.
