I'm Not the Young Lady's Dream Girl - [Vol. 1] Chapter 48
[Vol. 1] Chapter 48: Promise Once Again
He arrived at the destination and found Yinyue waiting for Him there, which surprised Him. Did the girl in front of Him know that there was no escape, so she simply gave up struggling?
But that’s just as well, saving Himself unnecessary effort.
He transformed into human form, and the crows around Him flew away, making “caw, caw” noises. This signaled that a fierce battle was going to happen soon.
“Little ant, I advise you to give up struggling obediently, so I can be gentle with you.”
Yinyue ignored His words, she sped up, running towards the direction of the city ruin. Her young lady and others were not far away yet. To avoid involving them, Yinyue planned to lead Him back into the city.
Watching Yinyue fleeing, He suddenly became interested. He had thought she had given up struggling, but unexpectedly, she was running away right in front of Him.
It had been a long time since He had played the game of cat and mouse. Well then, let’s play a little longer.
He transformed into black mist and engaged Yinyue in a chase despite the vast difference in strength.
Yinyue moved swiftly on the ground, with Him closely following behind her, launching continuous attacks without intending to give her any breathing room.
“How long do you plan to run? Is this all you’re capable of?”
He watched Yinyue darting around on the ground and felt bored. He had hoped she would surprise Him somehow, but all she did was run away without doing anything else.
“Alright, this is it.”
Yinyue stopped in her tracks. This was the central area of ??the entire city. Fighting here shouldn’t involve them.
Yinyue stopped abruptly, gripping the sword that Dawn had entrusted to her. She took a stance ready for a fight, knowing the next battle would be challenging.
Yinyue observed the deity in front of her and noticed that His power seemed to have weakened considerably. There was no longer the same pressure He had at the beginning, and the strong attacks He launched just now had also weakened significantly.
For Yinyue, this was good news.
Although she didn’t know what formidable enemy He had encountered during the time she entered the young lady’s spiritual world to become like this. But this also meant that her chances of winning were even higher.
Seeing that Yinyue was not in despair and even ignited her fighting spirit, pointing the sword at Him, this greatly annoyed the arrogant deity. An ant should behave like an ant, dare to point a sword at a deity, truly overestimating oneself.
He swung His fists towards Yinyue. He didn’t bother to use divine power against the mortal in front of Him, especially since His body was unstable and couldn’t easily use divine power.
*Bang!*
The sword clashed with the fist. Yinyue reacted in time. Otherwise, she would have been knocked away again. He swung His fists again, and Yinyue counterattacked.
The figures of both parties were faintly visible, and the sound of collision continued to echo in the city. Yinyue deliberately let Him knock away the iron sword in her hand.
“That’s it!”
Yinyue lost the weapon empowered by the deity’s power. In His eyes, she was like a beast losing its claws, presenting a good opportunity to end this boring battle.
Seeing Him coming at her without hesitation, Yinyue couldn’t help but smirk. This deity didn’t seem very smart.
At the critical moment, she called out for ?Daytime?, and ?Daytime? appeared immediately in her hand upon hearing Yinyue’s call.
A flash of silver, and a smooth wound appeared on His body.
He looked at ?Daytime? in Yinyue’s hand. Although He had no expression, she could still feel His anger. There seemed to be a faint trace of fear.
“Who are you? Why are you holding this sword?”
The emotions in His Dark Pupil were very unstable as He looked incredulously at the sword in Yinyue’s hand. “Why would her sword appear in the hands of a mortal?”
“I am Yinyue, and today I shall defeat a God,” Yinyue declared fiercely.
“Defeat a God? You talk big!”
He still looked down on her, thinking that possessing a divine weapon could challenge Him, a deity? It was ridiculous to think that with a mortal body, she could challenge a deity. It was like a mantis trying to topple a tree, utterly laughable.
He summoned His own divine weapon, a black-purple staff, which appeared in His hand accompanied by black smoke, emanating extremely powerful energy.
?Daytime? trembled continuously in Yinyue’s hand.
Was it fear? No, it was excitement. ?Daytime? showed excitement like never before. The clash between divine weapons was rare.
The two divine weapons resonated. The environment of the ruins underwent a massive change, forming a scene of light and darkness in mutual confrontation.
…………
Yinya, still not fully recovered from her injuries and having carried two people so far, collapsed on the ground.
Watching the scene before her, it was truly a spectacle.
If not for the pain coming from her body, she would have thought she was dreaming.
At that moment, Yuluo beside her slowly opened her eyes.
…………
Yinyue decided to test the waters first. She waved ?Daytime?, sending a sharp sword aura towards Him. Faced with Yinyue’s attack, He dodged.
“Hmph, after all, you are just a mortal. Having a divine weapon in your hands is like giving a precious treasure to a savage beast.”
He swung the staff, causing space to rupture, and several eyes appeared, staring intently at Yinyue. Several beams of light shot towards her.
Yinyue soared into the air, conjuring a pair of light wings behind her, continuously dodging in the air.
“Just a boring resistance.”
He watched Yinyue darting around like a little sparrow, and He opened His left hand, a giant palm appearing in the sky. Now let’s see how you dodge this!
Yinyue looked up at the enormous palm in the sky. If she got caught, it would be a disaster. She stopped dodging and instead chose to dive towards Him.
“Like a moth to a flame!”
He hadn’t expected her to be so foolish as to charge at Him.
He swung the staff, and several huge tentacles shot up from the ground, blocking Yinyue’s path. In her state of high-speed flight, Yinyue had no possibility of evasion. She was quickly knocked away by the tentacles, and the giant hand in midair caught her, crushing her.
“Hahaha, an ant is still an ant. With such a weak body, you dare to resist a deity.”
He let the giant palm open, wanting to see Yinyue’s miserable state. Perhaps He should have been gentler, so He could see her expression before her death.
He looked at the empty palm, wondering what had happened. Then He noticed the residual light elements on the palm.
In other words, that wasn’t her true body just now. It was only a clone she created using light elements to deceive Him.
He closed His eyes and used divine power to explore the surroundings. He quickly found Yinyue’s location.
It turned out she was hiding in a pile of ruins. He looked at the ruins and gently waved His finger, giving orders to the several eyes in the cracks.
All the eyes now stared at the ruins where Yinyue was hiding. In an instant, several beams of light attacked the ruins, leaving a deep pit in the ground.
He looked at the empty pit. Now she should be completely dead.
Suddenly, He seemed to sense something and immediately looked up at the sky. A silver light descended from the sky at an extremely fast speed.
That one just now was also a fake!
Damn it, over and over again, she was playing tricks on Him.
He would make her pay a heavy price.
He swung the staff, controlling the giant hand and tentacles to attack Yinyue.
Yinyue was pierced through her body by a tentacle in midair, then turned into light and disappeared in the air.
“Another fake! Where is her real body?” He wondered.
At this moment, he felt Yinyue’s presence again.
He turned around and saw dozens of Yinyues coming towards him.
“What’s going on?”
He released his divine power, trying to detect which one was the real Yinyue, but the result surprised him greatly.
Their auras were exactly the same, making it impossible to determine which one was the real Yinyue.
This was Yinyue’s trump card. By overloading herself with absorbed light elements, Yinyue had reached S-class strength.
In this state, as long as there was light around, she would never run out of energy.
She can also use light elements more flexibly, such as creating clones with them.
Each clone has the same aura as the original and a certain level of combat ability. The original can switch between clones freely, but when a clone dies, Yinyue has to endure twice the pain.
This state grants Yinyue extremely strong power, but it can only be used for a limited time. After the time limit expires, Yinyue will enter a weakened state.
Therefore, Yinyue must seize every moment. During this time, by continuously sacrificing her clones, she seeks out His weaknesses. Yinyue intends to pave the way to victory with her “corpses”.
Everything has its weaknesses, no one is invincible. If there were, they would have surely given up thinking.
He began launching large-scale attacks, countless strikes raining down upon them. Under this onslaught, half of Yinyue’s clones were killed.
Yinyue endured the excruciating pain and continued to approach Him. He grew impatient, realizing He had been playing with a mere ant for so long.
If His power weren’t impaired right now, He would have killed the girl in front of Him long ago.
It was all Zach’s fault, that guy who’s inadequate in success and excessive in failure.
He had given him so much time to prepare, thinking He could cool the world at its peak, only to return to this world with diminished strength. Most of His abilities couldn’t be used, and the ones he could use were greatly weakened.
The more He thought about it, the angrier He became.
How could He have misjudged so badly, choosing such an idiot as His servant? After dealing with the little ant in front of Him, He would find a new servant.
After the fierce attack ended, Yinyue and her other clones had already surrounded Him.
He wasn’t panicked at all. His shield couldn’t be broken by mere mortals unless she used a divine weapon. But as soon as she revealed the divine weapon, He could confirm who the real one was.
Yinyue launched an attack against the shield, but it had no effect. Even if she gathered her strength and used full-force attacks, she couldn’t harm Him in the slightest.
Shortly after, as He expected, Yinyue summoned ?Daytime? to break through His shield. With a glint of silver, Yinyue shattered His shield.
He used divine power to immobilize Yinyue and launched an attack with His staff, emitting black mist. Yinyue, who was hit by the attack, fell to the ground, and ?Daytime? also dropped.
He caught ?Daytime? and held it in His hand, the final victor was indeed Himself. Just as He was feeling pleased with himself, both “Yinyue” and “?Daytime?” emitted a flash of light.
He didn’t react in time because of the piercing light, temporarily unable to open his eyes due to the stinging brightness. Yinyue had already transferred herself with her clone.
Once again, He was deceived by Yinyue. Although He had many eyes on His body, He was still fooled by her. So many eyes were just like decorations, serving no purpose.
The real Yinyue was actually already outside the city. Those He battled were all clones. However, Yinyue’s condition wasn’t good either. It could even be said to be very bad.
Outside the city, Yinyue gasped for air incessantly, her vision beginning to blur. She struggled to support her body, the intense pain threatening to make her pass out.
No power emerges abruptly. When Yinyue chose to forcefully gain power, she had already measured the price she’d have to pay.
In her blurred vision, Yinyue seemed to vaguely see the figure of Yuluo.
“Miss…” Yinyue called out softly.
Was she already hallucinating? Her young lady couldn’t possibly be here, she had been taken away by her mother.
However, being able to see her young lady’s figure again, even if it was an illusion, Yinyue felt quite satisfied.
Yinyue believed that everything before her was nothing but her own hallucination. Under the intense pain, Yinyue couldn’t hold on any longer, and her body began to sway unsteadily.
Just as Yinyue was about to collapse, that figure caught her, supporting her body and easing her gently to the ground.
In her embrace, Yinyue sensed a comforting warmth enveloping her, and her physical condition improved significantly.
Yuluo tenderly lifted Yinyue’s head onto her lap, placing her hand on Yinyue’s forehead and channeling her healing powers to heal her wounds.
“Sister Yueyue, it’s not good to lie on the ground. If you’re tired, you can rest your head on my lap.”
Yinyue was surprised. It wasn’t an illusion after all. But how did her young lady appear here? She should be with mother, shouldn’t she?
“It seems Sister Yueyue is quite surprised, but not just me.” Saying this, two figures appeared nearby.
“Mom, I’m so glad you’re okay.”
Now it was Yeming’s turn to appear, with Yinya following behind.
“Why did you all come here? It’s very dangerous.”
Yinyue wanted them to leave quickly. After all, the power of the deity was too strong. Without divine power, they couldn’t effectively harm it.
“That’s exactly why we can’t let Sister Yueyue face it alone.” Yuluo said.
“But we made a promise. I was supposed to protect you, Miss.” Yinyue said.
“Is Sister Yueyue referring to that broken promise?”
With these words, Yinyue fell silent. Indeed, from the moment she chose to leave her young lady, that promise ceased to exist.
She was the one who had torn that promise to shreds with her own hands, and yet here she was grandly declaring that she would protect her.
Just moments ago, she had barely managed to protect herself, and yet she was still thinking of protecting others.
Yinyue scoffed at herself inwardly, thinking that she had always been a pathetic person.
“I’m sorry, Miss, I…”
Yinyue felt the urge to apologize to her young lady, but Yuluo gently silenced her by placing a finger on her lips, signaling that there was no need for apologies.
“Hush, Sister Yueyue, there’s no need to apologize to me. But you have to make another promise to me, and you mustn’t break it.”
Yinyue nodded with determination. This time, she was resolute in keeping her promise, no matter what.
“Then it’s settled. From now on, no matter what danger we face, we’ll face it together.” Yuluo extended her pinky.
Yinyue, understanding the gesture, also extended her pinky finger. The two girls intertwined their fingers tightly, sharing a heartfelt smile between them.
From this moment forward, they vowed to be each other’s strongest shield.
