Chapter 128 Emperor’s Sacrifice?
Bao Yunxing looked at her intently, his gaze deep, his tone more serious than ever before: "Will it definitely succeed?"
Xue Youyou nodded emphatically again, her determination unwavering: "It will definitely succeed!"
If none of this works, she might as well just smash her head against a block of tofu and die.
Bao Yunxing's eyes suddenly sharpened, his voice carrying an undeniable authority and a murderous aura: "Then do you dare to make a bet with me?"
"If you succeed, you'll be the biggest contributor to this operation, and all of this will be your reward, paid in advance. But—if you fail, even a minute less than thirty minutes will be a death sentence. Do you dare take this bet with me?"
Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was as firm as iron.
This is not a joke, it's a pledge.
Xue Youyou raised her head without hesitation and said, "I would go through fire and water without hesitation."
With that, she picked up the teacup in front of her and drank it all in one gulp. The tea had long since gone cold and was covered with a layer of crushed ice, but Xue Youyou drank it with great relish.
Seeing this, Bao Yunxing nodded in satisfaction: "Great. I knew I hadn't misjudged you."
"Since that's the case, I won't say any more. You can take all of these things."
Upon hearing this, Xue Youyou didn't stand on ceremony. While trying to maintain a ladylike demeanor, she unhesitatingly took everything into her possession.
She moved with lightning speed, grabbing the orange skill card, six level-up potions, and a Frost Burial Flower, as if afraid the other party might change their mind.
This is truly a windfall!
These dates are so big and sweet!
She finds Bao Yunxing pleasing to the eye now; his damn rich and charming personality is simply irresistible, and she wishes she could adopt him as a godfather on the spot.
Bao Yunxing then instructed in a very low voice, "This conversation must absolutely not be known to a second person. Even if the Four Marquises ask, you must not utter a single word. Understand?"
"I understand, the Alliance Leader needs to guard against spies."
Before leaving, Xue Youyou winked playfully at Bao Yunxing and gave her an "OK" sign, indicating that she could rest assured.
He looked relaxed and carefree, as if he had just accepted not a life-or-death gamble, but an ordinary little business deal.
Bao Yunxing was stunned. She hadn't expected Xue Youyou to be able to see through her thoughts at a glance.
She hadn't said a word, yet this girl had seen right through her. What alarmed her even more was that a beast tamer from the academy had the audacity to utter such treasonous words, implying that the nobles harbored ulterior motives.
Watching Xue Youyou's departing figure, Bao Yunxing's heart skipped a beat.
Her daughter Bao Xiaoxing's friend is quite something.
For a fleeting moment, she had a strange feeling: Could this "Snow White" in front of her be an even more terrifying person than Mutsuki?
Could she have... unintentionally aided the enemy?
But the thought only lasted a moment before Bao Yunxing shook his head and dismissed it.
If she defeats Mutsuki, she can reach the Emperor Realm.
Xue Youyou is still young and has a shallow foundation, so she is not a threat.
Most importantly, to advance to the Emperor-level pet beast, one not only needs to be extremely powerful, but also has an extremely demanding condition—one needs to gain the submission of seven other Ultimate-level pet beasts.
To achieve this, meticulous planning and deep management over a long period of time are required; it is by no means something that can be accomplished overnight.
Looking across the entire Yue Lanzhou, only she and Mu Yue dare to guarantee that they could definitely achieve this. Therefore, she wasn't worried about Xue Youyou.
In any given region, only one emperor can be born and only one emperor can exist at any given time. As long as she becomes emperor first, everything will be settled, and no one can overturn the situation.
Her opponent has always been the leader of the Moon Worship Cult.
Her true purpose in launching this surprise attack on the Moon Worship Cult's stronghold was to wipe out all of the Moon Worship Cult's ultimate beast tamers, sever their foundation, cut off their escape route, and eliminate any possibility of Muyue becoming an emperor.
As for Xue Youyou—blame her for being born at the wrong time.
After all, the Imperial Ceremony in Yuelan Prefecture, which had been dormant for thousands of years, was about to begin again.
This ancient land is about to awaken.

After Xue Youyou walked out of the main hall, she was surprised to find that the girl who had been leading the way with such minimal fabric was gone.
"Hey, where did it go?"
She glanced at the entrance, then looked around. The long corridor in front of the hall was deserted, with only a few wall lamps burning quietly, and not a breath of wind. The girl seemed to have vanished into thin air, completely disappeared.
"Could it really be some kind of ghost...?"
Xue Youyou's eyes twitched, and she felt that it wasn't entirely impossible.
After all, ghosts are real things; she had seen them with her own eyes and dealt with them personally.
In any case, it definitely couldn't be her hallucination.
The sound of the girl's footsteps as she led the way, the delicate fragrance emanating from her, and the way she tilted her head slightly when she spoke—all these are still vivid in my mind.
Since the person was gone, she couldn't be bothered to dwell on it. Her curiosity wasn't so strong that she wanted to understand everything. In fact, aside from becoming the strongest, she wasn't particularly interested in anything else.
No matter how big the mystery, as long as it doesn't hinder her from becoming stronger, she can just let it go.
Xue Youyou walked quickly toward the elevator she had come from.
Of course, she would never sit on that thing and torture herself again.
What she was really aiming for was the exterior wall next to the elevator.
Just as she was about to make a hole in the wall and fly out, the originally metallic wall suddenly melted silently, like solid water being gently pushed aside by some force, revealing a hole just big enough for one person to pass through.
The cool night wind outside rushed in instantly, blowing the stray hairs on her forehead.
"Wow, it's that smart?"
Xue Youyou sighed in admiration at the Alliance's advanced technology, then leaped down without hesitation. Her figure blended into the night, like a white shooting star, disappearing in an instant.
A few seconds later.
Not far from where Xue Youyou had been standing, the figure of the familiar girl who had led the way reappeared quietly.
She stood barefoot on the cold floor, as if she had never left, still wearing that excessively thin dress, yet she didn't seem cold at all.
The girl who had led the way gazed in the direction where she had disappeared. The night wind ruffled the hair at her temples. She clasped her hands together in front of her chest and murmured to herself in self-absorption, "Oh—what a sinful yet beautiful girl."
The sound was as soft as a sigh, and was swallowed up by the night wind in an instant.
