Chapter 2690: Lack of Experience

Ye Liuyun listened to Liu Yunheng's conversation with that soldier squad leader with perfect clarity.

He is currently hovering invisibly above that squad leader.

At his level, that squad leader never noticed him at all.

However, he didn't act to eliminate them, instead planning to leave everything to Liu Yunyao to handle.

Liu Yunyao, prompted by the flying horned horse, also spotted the approaching soldiers.

But since they were his own men, he didn't pay much attention, instead focusing his energy to clear the remaining barbarian soldiers.

She found this battle extremely exhilarating.

Not only did she unleash Divine Soul Power to the fullest, she also used a Storage Yuan Stone to replenish a True Essence.

When her fight ended, the Demon Lion also helped clean the battlefield; apart from bloodstains, nothing remained, and it was left quite tidy.

"Come out, sneaking around, what are you doing?"

Liu Yunyao finally scolded that squad of soldiers.

"At your service, Princess!"

The squad leader immediately bowed his head and nodded, trying to flatter.

In his mind, however, he was calculating how to stall for time.

No matter how much he stalls, he cannot delay for days until the main army arrives.

"Whose subordinate are you?"

Liu Yunyao asked directly.

"I am a border guard here, obeying the Leader's orders to capture Demon Beasts in order to exchange for resources and subsidize military use,"

the squad leader replied.

"Oh."

Liu Yunyao gave a casual assent without further questioning. Obtaining resources to subsidize military use is quite common.

She simply told the squad leader, "You have one hour; lead your team off this Xingqiu."

Upon hearing that, the squad leader immediately schemed.

"Princess, that won't do! We were given a military order to come here to capture Demon Beasts.

Now, if we haven't caught a single Demon Beast and leave like this, we will be punished by military law.

Our Leader is also on the way, arriving in two days; could you wait a little longer?

We could also use these two days to catch some Demon Beasts, making it easier to report back."

Liu Yunyao heard this and felt a bit uneasy.

She didn't want these soldiers to be punished because of her.

But Ye Liuyun only gave her one day.

"No, at most three hours; you must leave!"

Liu Yunyao thought it over and granted them an extension.

However, the squad leader, exploiting her soft spot for women, immediately knelt with his soldiers, begging her for a few more days.

"Isn't it just about catching Demon Beasts?

I'll go catch a few for you, and then you can report back."

Liu Yunyao said.

"But it's not just the Demon Beast issue; we also need to stay long enough!"

The squad leader pleaded with Liu Yunyao.

"Stop the nonsense, take the ferocious beast outside and wait until the time is up before returning, that works too.

If you keep nagging, don't blame me for being rude!"

Liu Yunyao also realized the issue: with a Demon Beast they could report back, so they could simply linger outside for the extra time; there was no need to stay on this Xingqiu.

The squad leader also knew there was no excuse to stall further, so he could only agree.

Thus, Liu Yunyao turned around and went to help them capture Demon Beasts.

The squad leader again reported to Liu Yunheng, saying they couldn't delay that long.

"Why did she tell you to leave that Xingqiu?"

Liu Yunheng asked.

"The princess didn't say!"

The squad leader replied.

"Then you should capture the Demon Beasts and monitor her from afar."

Liu Yunheng instructed.

"Yes!"

The squad leader responded affirmatively, neither taking men to capture Demon Beasts nor moving, but waiting in place for Liu Yunyao.

Anyway, given Liu Yunyao's strength, she would catch more Demon Beasts than they could, so they might as well stay put and await the outcome.

Ye Liuyun continued to remain invisible, pursuing Liu Yunyao, but he did not reveal himself to warn her; instead he watched her battle a Celestial Being Third Tier Demon Beast.

Liu Yunyao both honed her skills and captured Demon Beasts.

She tried twice, and each time she gave her all to slay the Demon Beast, never catching one alive.

Thus she settled for the next best thing, easily capturing a few Celestial Being First and Second Tier Demon Beasts alive, which should be enough for those soldiers to report.

With their abilities, they probably couldn't even catch a Celestial Being First Tier Demon Beast.

The soldiers, seeing such a bounty, expressed endless gratitude and left with the Demon Beasts.

However, they didn't go far; they stayed at a distance, continuing to monitor this place.

Liu Yunyao saw them leave, then went back to look for Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun used Spatial Power to get back to the place where they had separated, removed the Invisibility Cloak, and waited for Liu Yunyao.

"I've killed all the barbarian soldiers, and driven away the dynasty soldiers; you can have your clone take this place!"

Liu Yunyao told Ye Liuyun.

"Are you sure those dynasty soldiers have all left?"

Ye Liuyun retorted.

"Yes, I watched them leave."

Liu Yunyao confirmed.

Obviously, her experience dealing with enemies is clearly insufficient.

"You should go back to Xingkong to double‑check! If they are monitoring from a distance, after I take this Xingqiu they will return and spread the word that you took this Xingqiu, which will cause you trouble."

Ye Liuyun reminded her.

"Oh, okay then, I'll go check again!"

Liu Yunyao also felt she had been a bit careless.

"Wait, whose soldiers are they?"

"Liu Yunheng also has command over troops, right?"

"Didn't you ask whether they are people of Liu Yunheng?"

Ye Liuyun reminded her again.

"I didn't ask too closely just now; they said they are border‑defense troops.

However, Liu Yunheng does indeed have his own troops stationed in this area!"

Liu Yunyao also confirmed.

Ye Liuyun then lectured her: "Didn't I teach you the Soul Searching Technique?

Now that you've learned it, actually use it! If there's no problem, you can let them go; if there is a problem, your whereabouts might be exposed.

Either way, once this Demon Beast world is taken, Liu Yunheng will suspect you."

Liu Yunyao kept apologizing and chased after the direction the soldiers had left.

She had enjoyed the battle against the barbarians so much that, in her elation, she became careless toward those soldiers.

Now that Ye Liuyun reminded her like this, she only

realized the seriousness of the problem.

If Liu Yunheng truly learns that she took this Demon Beast world, the disappearance of other worlds will also be blamed on her.

Thinking of this, she accelerated the summoned flying unicorn and chased after it.

But as soon as she flew out of this Demon Beast world, she saw that the soldiers' Warship was parked outside this world, monitoring the situation.

Liu Yunyao muttered a curse: "Exactly what we were worried about has happened!"

Liu Yunyao muttered under her breath: "Just as I worried, it showed up!"

The squad leader, seeing her come, immediately smiled and asked, "Princess, any further orders?"

"Didn't I tell you to leave here?"

"Why haven't you left yet?"

"We've already left! Besides, we're staying here as the princess ordered, waiting until the time is up before we go again!"

"We have left! And per the princess's orders, we are waiting here until the time is right before we go!"

The squad leader's words actually choked Liu Yunyao into speechlessness.

"Fine, let's do a direct Soul Search!"
