Bravely enter the heavens and become a god

Chapter 136: Night Exploration of the Demon Army Camp

Luo Ying walked slowly to Shi Juyi, with tenderness in her eyes, and whispered softly: "Juyi, sit down."

Shi Juyi still lowered his head, looking away angrily, as if struggling with his own little emotions. Seeing this, Luo Ying couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly and let out a light laugh. This laugh was like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, stirring up layers of ripples.

Shi Juyi heard the laughter, raised his head, looked at Luo Ying with doubt in his eyes, and asked:

"Sister, why are you laughing?"

Luo Ying reached out her hand, gently pulled him to her side, and pressed him to sit on the chair. She gently rubbed his hair, with a warm light in her eyes, and smiled softly:

"Ju Yi, I know that you had an argument with General Lu because you felt sorry for me. I scolded you not because I was angry with you, but because I treated you as my own brother. In a dispute, sometimes the only way to calm the storm is to let the people closest to you suffer a little."

Luo Ying stared into his eyes, stroked his cheek with her fingers, and said gently but firmly: "Sister understands your intentions, you are doing this for sister's good. But now that we are facing a powerful enemy, the stability of the army's morale is of vital importance. We cannot let internal fighting affect the overall situation."

She sighed softly, turned around, looked into the distance, and spoke of her past experiences with a hint of vicissitudes and helplessness in her voice:

"Female commanders are not loyal to the masses when they lead troops in battle. They will be bullied and wronged. I am used to such wrongs.

In my real world, I am also working in an industry dominated by men. It is a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder. In a battlefield of men, how can there be room for women?

My situation was much more difficult then than it is now. Now at least I still have the false title of marshal to support me, but at that time I was just a new life emerging from the soil. Any single step could have crushed me to death and snuffed out all my hopes.

Not to mention being respected, there is not even a chance to display my talents. I remember once I finally got an opportunity to display my talents, but my client actually refused to give me the opportunity in front of me on the grounds that I was a woman. You can't imagine the helplessness and powerlessness that comes from being rejected in person.

However, these cannot bring me down. I cherish every opportunity I can get. If others put in one point of effort, I will put in ten points of effort. If that doesn’t work, I will put in a hundred points of effort. I will try my best until I feel powerless and try my best to move myself.

I have always encouraged myself to either work hard to excel or be lazy and accept my fate. I am most afraid that my knowledge will be expanded but my efforts will not be able to keep up. I am extremely noble in my bones and weak in character. I am afraid that I am not a beautiful jade so I dare not work hard, but I also half believe that I am a beautiful jade so I don’t want to be mediocre and live with the bottom of the pot. I believe that one day I will not only move myself, but also move God. "

Luo Ying turned around, looked at Shi Juyi firmly and said:

"Finally, after my unremitting efforts, at about the same age as you are now, I stood on the high podium in that industry and shared the honors with men. Everyone was surprised by my identity as a woman, doubted me, and did not recognize my ability, because they could not accept that in an industry dominated by men, there could be a woman standing shoulder to shoulder with them. Facing their doubts, I did not defend myself or become cowardly. I worked harder and consolidated my position in the industry through one competition after another. Finally, I stood on the highest podium in the entire industry, became the only focus of the entire industry, and became a legendary existence. I became an inspirational role model for women."

Luo Ying reached out and patted Shi Juyi on the shoulder and said:

"So, it doesn't matter what others think of us, and it doesn't matter what others say. From the beginning to the end, we have only one enemy, ourselves. There is no need to explain. Only by proving our abilities with our own strength can we stop the attacks of the masses. Don't you think so?"

Shi Juyi listened to Luo Ying's words, his heart was filled with emotions like a tidal wave, and tears of emotion welled up in his eyes. He was deeply attracted by Luo Ying's gentleness and tenacity, as if he was caught in an endless whirlpool of emotions and couldn't extricate himself. He couldn't help but stare at her and couldn't help but blurt out to her:

"No wonder the Third Prince's heart, which had been sealed in ice for ten thousand years, could be possessed by you alone... You are a mythical existence, making people unable to help but be fascinated by you. The deeper you fall, the more powerless you are to resist and the more you cannot extricate yourself."

Shi Juyi's eyes were full of ardent love, as if he wanted to melt Luo Ying in his gaze. Luo Ying felt his strong emotions and felt flustered. She hurriedly avoided his burning gaze and tried to change the subject. She opened her red lips slightly, smiled and said:

"Stop talking about this. We have an important mission tonight. Call Shao Hanyue. The three of us will go together!"

Shi Juyi quickly retracted his burning gaze and asked, "What mission?"

Luo Ying smiled mysteriously and said, "Explore the enemy's camp at night and find a way to break the artillery array."

Shi Juyi was shocked when he heard this and said worriedly:

"Exploring the enemy's camp at night! Isn't that dangerous? Sister, what are you looking for? Tell me, Shao Hanyue and I will take a few people with us. I can't let you take risks!"

Luo Ying patted his shoulder and said, "I have to do this, no one else can replace me!"

Shi Juyi asked in surprise: "Why?"

Luo Ying smiled slightly, with wisdom flashing in his eyes: "Because this is my professional skill. I need to treat the artillery as an exquisite product, disassemble its internal structure, and look for its fatal weakness, so as to find a way to crack it."

Shi Juyi nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll notify Shao Hanyue to go with us and explore the enemy camp at night. Do you want to bring General Qi and the others with you?"

Luo Ying shook his head and said, "Too many people would easily alert the enemy."

Shi Juyi clasped his hands together and bowed, saying, "Okay, I'll go get ready first."

Luo Ying personally went to the front line and witnessed the indiscriminate bombardment of fifty artillery pieces, with blazing flames and deafening sounds. However, under this earth-shaking offensive, the thousands of generals were not afraid at all. They worked together and used mysterious defensive techniques to create a dazzling huge energy halo, like an indestructible barrier, guarding the peace of the military camp.

General Qi looked at the battle situation in front of him with concern, his brows furrowed. He turned to Luo Ying and asked tentatively:

"Marshal, do you want to notify the Third Lord to come down and help?"

Luo Ying rejected the proposal categorically. She took a deep breath and said with a sharp gaze:

"No, the hundreds of thousands of troops in the heaven cannot be leaderless. If the Third Prince comes to help, the demon army will attack the heaven and our army will be in chaos. Try to delay as much as possible. I will find a way to break the artillery array after nightfall."

General Qi clasped his hands together and bowed: "I obey your command!"

Luo Ying looked at General Qi with a firm gaze and said firmly:

"General Qi, make sure everyone keeps the news of our distress secret. You know the temper of the Third Prince. If he learns of this, he will probably come to help at all costs."

General Qi understood and said, "I understand!"

The night was as dark as ink. Luo Ying, wearing night clothes, accompanied by Shi Juyi and Shao Hanyue, the three of them, wearing night clothes and black scarves on their faces, quietly sneaked into the demon army's camp like ghosts. There was a dead silence all around, only the low sound of the wind, as if telling unknown secrets.

They approached the demon army camp cautiously, and saw several generals coming out of the tents one after another, and the sound of their conversation gradually faded away. Just as the three were preparing to evacuate, a clear and melodious sound of a jade flute sounded in the camp, like the sound of nature, crossing the boundaries of time and space, carrying endless magic power, and immersing the entire space in a dreamlike atmosphere.

Luo Ying's eyes were attracted by the sound of the flute. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a slender figure reflected by the lights of the camp, holding a jade flute and playing the enchanting melody. The figure seemed to overlap with someone in her memory. She seemed to have returned to the magnolia forest and saw the familiar figure.

In the illusion, Feng Yequn slowly turned his head, his deep eyes twinkling with starlight, and he met her unexpectedly. The corners of his mouth raised a gentle arc, and he whispered softly: "Did my flute wake you up?"

Luo Ying's heart trembled suddenly, as if she was brought into another time and space by the sound of the flute and the words. However, the cruel reality quickly pulled her back to reality. She glanced at the sign of the general camp and saw the word "Netherworld" written on it. An inexplicable emotion surged in her heart, both confusion and fear.

The scene of that day emerged in her mind. Feng Yequn rushed into the fairy garden and handed her a flower card of the red spider lily. The word "ghost" was engraved on the back of the flower card, like a mysterious spell, which made people feel cold. At this moment, Luo Ying's heart seemed to be pressed down by an invisible stone, making her almost unable to breathe. She suddenly lost her mind, and her eyes revealed an indescribable fear and despair.

She murmured to herself, her voice low and trembling: "No...it won't be you..."

There seemed to be endless sadness and confusion hidden in those words, as if a corner of her heart was being eroded by an indescribable fear and loss.
