Chapter 1241: Chapter 1241: The Method to Break the Formation
Ye You struggled in the formation for five days. Although he finally managed to escape, by the time he appeared before Qin Sisi, he was already covered in wounds and utterly exhausted.
Qin Sisi, along with Yun Wang and others, quickly brought Ye You back to his place. They used both pills and healing magic, which eventually helped Ye You recover.
However, this entry into the formation was too perilous, and Ye You suffered some loss of vigor. He instructed Yun Wang to send a message to the commander of the Seven Major Families, asking them to continue to stand by and not to attack for the time being.
After sending everyone off, Qin Sisi sat by Ye You’s bedside, holding his hand, looking at him with pain in her eyes, tears welling up.
Ye You smiled faintly and comforted her, saying, "Why are you crying? I’m back, aren’t I?"
"You said you would come back safe and sound." Qin Sisi felt a bit wronged, more so was the bitterness and worry, mixed with the joy of having lived through this ordeal.
Ye You held Qin Sisi’s hand, kissed it lightly, and smiled, "Cats have nine lives, I’m not that easy to kill. Besides, we haven’t even officially married yet, how could I bear to die?"
"Don’t say that word." Qin Sisi’s heart skipped a beat when she heard him, and she hurriedly stopped Ye You.
Ye You’s gaze deepened a bit. When he was fighting desperately in the formation, Qin Sisi outside must have had a hard time too. He hadn’t rested for five days and nights, and surely Qin Sisi hadn’t closed her eyes for five days and nights either.
Ye You sighed, wiped away Qin Sisi’s tears, and gently reassured her, "Alright, I won’t say that word, we’ll both live well."
Qin Sisi nodded forcefully.
Holding her hand, Ye You spoke softly, "Don’t be sad, to be honest with you, I found a way to break the formation."
"Really?" Qin Sisi looked at Ye You in surprise. When he came out severely injured, she just hoped for his safe return and hadn’t thought at all about breaking the formation.
Ye You nodded and said, "Now, I need you to tell me first about how music magic takes lives."
Qin Sisi was even more astonished, "Is this related to breaking the formation?"
’You tell me first, maybe it will have a big connection.’ Ye You replied very seriously.
So, Qin Sisi briefly explained some principles of music magic to Ye You.
The magic skill in music magic that can take lives is called "Soul Taker," usually used in conjunction with the lullaby. If the opponent is particularly alert, a tranquilizing song can be played first.
The tranquilizing song makes people feel relaxed and calm, without any discomfort, making it easy to lower their guard against the music.
Then there’s the lullaby, when the opponent is immersed in the beautiful melody of the tranquilizing song, they subtly switch it to the lullaby, making the opponent fall into a quiet sleep unknowingly.
Finally, there’s the Soul Taker. If the one playing the Soul Taker melody has strong enough magic power, they can make the listener die in their sleep, never to wake again, as if their soul was silently and stealthily taken.
The feeling of the Soul Taker melody is somewhat like a hundred birds competing to sing, with various sounds appearing together, sometimes deep and gloomy, sometimes bright and high, requiring a high level of music magic.
After listening to Qin Sisi’s explanation, Ye You pondered for a moment, then asked Qin Sisi to discreetly invite Teacher Yirou over, as they need to plan in detail.
After receiving Ye You’s secret message, Yi Rou traveled tirelessly, reaching the All Souls Forest south of Crystal City in less than three days.
Upon reaching the destination, Teacher Yirou, who always loved beauty, originally thought of taking a bath and grooming herself before meeting Ye You and Qin Sisi. However, upon hearing that Ye You was hurt during his trial in the formation and returned gravely injured, she lost interest and hurried to Ye You’s room.
It was the first time Qin Sisi and Ye You saw Teacher Yirou appearing less than perfect, travel-worn, with signs of fatigue on her face, and her bright red dress dusted.
Ye You didn’t mind much as a man doesn’t pay attention to such small details, but Qin Sisi noticed it very considerately. She approached and warmly said, "No need to rush, godmother teacher, you should rest before discussing."
Yi Rou patted Qin Sisi’s shoulder, sat down by the table in a carefree manner, poured herself a cup of tea and drank it all in one go, saying heartily, "All right, cut the formalities, just say what you want to say. Is it related to Tian Xiaozi’s formations?"
Ye You and Qin Sisi exchanged a smile, then Ye You said solemnly, "Indeed, this time we specifically invited Teacher Yirou to assist."
Yi Rou moved her chair closer and said straightforwardly, "Speak up, as long as we can break the formations and storm into Wang City quickly, I’ll do whatever it takes."
Ye You nodded, then looked towards Qin Sisi and said, "I’m a bit tired; you explain it to your godmother."
Qin Sisi was a bit puzzled; after a few days of rest, Ye You’s body had basically recovered. Last night he was so lively, he almost wanted to swallow her whole, and now he claimed to be tired?
But after giving it a little thought, Qin Sisi understood that Ye You was deliberately raising her presence in everyone’s mind.
Deeply touched, Qin Sisi gave Ye You a glance full of deep affection, then calmed down, and carefully explained Ye You’s findings in the formation and the next steps to Yi Rou.
Yi Rou smacked the table heavily, saying enthusiastically, "Great, let’s do it this way, let’s see how long he can remain proud!"
After the discussion, Yi Rou prepared to go back for a rest. But when she reached the door, she paused and looked at Ye You, softly asking, "Tell me, Your Highness, do you need me for a music magic assassination? Your fiancée can completely handle this task."
Qin Sisi was momentarily stunned and looked at Ye You in confusion. It seemed Ye You never mentioned letting her do it personally, only consulting her for some theoretical knowledge.
Ye You blinked and replied humbly, "Sisi is ultimately inexperienced. I feel safer relying on Teacher Yirou’s battle-hardened, experienced expertise."
"Hehe..." Yi Rou let out a snicker, "Stop sweet-talking me, I’ll go, isn’t that enough?"
After Yi Rou left, Qin Sisi couldn’t help but ask, "Xiao Hei, why don’t you intend to let me do this?"
She is now the Demon Emperor, and her music magic is unsurpassed; the power of her Soul Taker would absolutely not be inferior to Yi Rou’s.
Ye You paused for a moment, then quietly replied, "Sisi, the formation is being controlled by a team of about a thousand people, and there are tens of thousands of magic warriors standing by. I need to capture them all at once. Do you think you could do it?"
He believes in Qin Sisi’s strength, but not in her ruthlessness.
