Home/ There’s A Beauty / Chapter 61 (Part 1)

When he was in the mountains, You Shu had practiced various formations countless times, so he was very confident. He increased the input of blood and mental power, setting up another formation. When the twin dragons unleashed their power, not only the huge sand table was destroyed, but the roof of the tent was also overturned. The generals were cut by the wind blades and have several wounds on their bodies, looking extremely embarrassed.

At this time, when they looked at the young man again, they didn’t dare to show any disdain. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed eight or nine times before they dared to get up. No matter what the young man asked, they agreed one by one, and treated him with a million times more respect than the Ninth Prince.

You Shu asked the generals to select a cavalry to investigate the location where he had just set up the formation. If the terrain was any different from the sand table, he would go there to see it himself, and then set up the formation on the spot. The generals took the orders and rushed out in unison.

After everyone left, the tent fell silent, and You Shu looked up at the dilapidated ceiling, and his spirited expression slowly turned into a timid one filled with apprehension.

“You……”

As soon as the Ninth Prince opened his mouth, You Shu hurriedly interrupted him, “You said you won’t ask for the time being.”

The Ninth Prince remained silent, and You Shu became more anxious, even his voice was trembling, “Do you think my ability is dangerous? If one day I want to harm you, do you think that you won’t have the strength to resist? But I swear to heaven that if I harm your heart, I will be struck by lightning, and it will not be good….”

“Enough!” The Ninth Prince stopped him with a stern voice, “Don’t make such an oath casually. I believe you will not harm me, and I don’t think your ability is dangerous. We promised to have more trust in each other, have you forgotten?”

Looking at the insecure appearance of the young man, the Ninth Prince felt both distress and pity in his heart. but he was also extremely angry. Although You Shu always says that he is willing to believe in himself, there are still many doubts hidden deep in his heart. You Shu might stay by his side all the time even after being scolded or beaten, but the Ninth Prince also realized that he still doesn’t trust himself wholeheartedly.

The Ninth Prince rubbed his forehead in frustration, not knowing what to do to completely get rid of this barrier between them.

You Shu was as silent as a cicada, but he couldn’t bear that his master was uncomfortable. So after a moment of hesitation, he slowly approached and massaged his temples. Suddenly, he remembered that his master liked his kisses very much, so he kissed him many times like a puppy, making the other party’s whole face wet with saliva.

The Ninth Prince felt both annoyed and amused by him, he couldn’t push the person away after trying a few times, so he had to hold him in his arms and kiss back deeply. 

After a while, he let go of the young man’s red and swollen lips, and said, “I won’t ask you too many questions about this, I will wait for you to confess yourself. I just want to know if using these strange magic skills will hinder you in any way? You can hide it from others, but you can’t hide it from me. This formation may only require a few drops of blood to practise on the sand table, but if it is used in a real battlefield, won’t it require a lot of the blood? Also, what would be the cost of trapping and killing millions of creatures? Will you be entangled in karma? Won’t there be cause and effect?” Because of his reincarnation, the Ninth Prince firmly believed in fatalism.

He pinched the young man’s jaw, and ordered in a deep voice, “I want to hear the truth from you! If the price of setting up this formation is losing you, then I would rather go to battle and fight with my life. I have my own means to win, and I really don’t need you to make any sacrifices for me.”

You Shu is an outsider, who is not involved in any cause and effect, so he can do whatever he wants. He was deeply moved in his heart and his eyes became wet, he said firmly, “Master, you don’t have to worry, setting up this formation will not hinder me in any way. I have said before that I will stay by your side in this life, so naturally I won’t make any mistakes.”

The Ninth Prince stared at him for a while, and finally believed him. You Shu never lies, especially when facing himself, whatever he thinks in his heart will be written on his face immediately, making it easy for people to see through it at a glance. The Ninth Prince’s mood eased slightly, and he let go of the party’s jaw, then leaned over and kissed him fiercely.

When You Shu got the reward from his master, he became very excited. If there was a tail behind him, it would have been shaken off by now. His eyebrows were flying and his whole person looked full of vigor. He picked up two sets of spikes and explained them one by one.. “Master, look”

He lifted up the two-foot-long spike and said, “The equipment used in this array was originally of this size, and the inscriptions carved on it have the effect of converging the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, summoning the wind and the earth dragon. It is not modest to say that this magic formation is not powerful, because there are also the third dragon, fourth dragon, and fifth dragon on top of this formation. If the nine Dragons are summoned, they can destroy heaven and earth, shattering time and space.”

The Ninth Prince rarely saw the young man talk so freely. Most of the time he is silent and tense, as if full of vigilance towards the world. He even has some inferiority complex and dare not fight for what originally belongs to him. However, now he looks so cheerful, proud, and confident, as if his whole body is shining.

The Ninth Prince loved his current lively appearance, so he gently stroked his hair that was scattered behind his head, and coaxed him to continue, “Since it has such great power, it may take a lot of effort to activate it, right?”

Speaking of this, You Shu became even more excited, and explained, “That’s true. If you were to activate the double dragon formation in the normal way, it would take seven hundred and forty-nine days to refine this set of spikes, and you would also need to sacrifice nine hundred and eighty-one lives per day in exchange for the power to tear apart a certain area of water and soil. However, you see that I have modified the runes carved on this set of spikes to preserve its power and simplified the activation procedure. 

After speaking up to this, You Shu peeked at his master and saw him listening attentively, so he continued “Let me tell you, these fifteen cone spikes were originally fifteen main arrays, and in order to achieve the ability to control heaven and earth, energy must be injected and activated at the same time, and the spiritual power consumed by it is enough to drain a celestial master. But now, by modifying the runes, I split these fifteen arrays into thirty arrays that are linked together. Among them, the fifteen large cone spikes are still the main array, while these small cone spikes became the driving arrays. The driving arrays also have this cone spike acting as the eye of the formation. In this way, I only need to activate and refine this one, which originally requires fifteen cone spikes to be activated together. It would only take half a bowl of blood and less than seven days. And because the large and small cone spikes are connected through runes for remote sensing, I won’t have to go to the battlefield in person, I just need to stay at the eye of the formation and use the sand table to control the situation. So, do you understand?”

He looked anxiously at his master.

The Ninth Prince thought for a moment, and said frankly, “I roughly understood. First, you simplified it to reduce the complexity by dividing the thirty cone spikes into fifteen; Second, you simplified it to reduce the energy required to activate the formation; Third, you only need to manipulate the small spikes on the sand table to fully unleash the energy of the large spike cones. Is this what you mean?”

You Shu gave his master a thumbs up, admiring him for being able to understand. He also wanted to explain it more clearly, but the way of formation and talismans is too complicated for ordinary people to understand. Except for the computer program he is most familiar with, he really couldn’t think of a system that is closer to the formations and talismans. 

In fact, when he was on the mountain, he had already made simpler and more effective adaptations of various formations according to his own understanding, which surprised the old man, who almost stopped himself from leaving the mountain.

The Ninth Prince smiled, and erected the wooden carvings on the table one by one, placing each of them at a distance, then pushed down the front one, causing the whole row to collapse one by one, he then said, “The formation modified by you has the force of two or four thousand pounds. It would only take one finger to destroy a world, right?”

“That’s right, master, you are too amazing!” You Shu felt as if he had found a confidant and immediately leaned over to kiss frantically.

The Ninth Prince, whose face was wet with saliva after being kissed by him, quickly held him down and patted him, feeling very proud in his heart. Although You Shu said it lightly, in fact, to activate this formation, you would need to sacrifice more than 3,000 human lives and also require the spiritual power of a celestial master. This has completely broken away from the realm of taoist magic and can be called immortal art, and it should not have existed in the world. But You Shu only made a small modification, and transformed it into a battlefield that ordinary people could control. His intelligence and wisdom have far surpassed anyone in this world.

Even if he doesn’t follow himself, sooner or later he will still become the most dazzling existence in the world. He even possesses the strength to rule Kyushu, and even the world. But this silly boy has no ambition at all, and he is not even angry at being called a spoiled pet for more than half a month. He only showed a little bit of strength at this time because he cares about his own life.

He wants very little, and is willing to give everything for that little wish. How could the Ninth Prince not love such a simple and pure You Shu?

He hugged the person in his arms and gave him a deep kiss, asking in a low voice, “Now I have one last question. Have you been pestering me to suck the dragon essence recently to increase your spiritual power? Are you a demon? Huh…?” At the end, his tone dragged out, making it sound very ambiguous.

You Shu’s cheeks were flushed with smoke coming out of his head, he stammered, “No, no, I’m not a demon, I’m a human.”

“Really? Let me touch it then.” The Ninth Prince groped him down below while kissing his big wet eyes.

You Shu dodged repeatedly, and hurriedly explained, “I can practice without absorbing your essence, but your essence can indeed help me to increase my spiritual power. In order to ensure safety, I have to do this, master, please spare me.”

“No, I can’t spare you. Don’t you like to absorb the dragon essence? Then as a punishment, I will feed you until you are full!” The Ninth Prince threw the person on the bed and pressed down on him.

After seven days of refining and half a month of terrain exploration, You Shu finally chose an open area as the battlefield, and drove two sets of spikes into the ground and sand table respectively, while he himself stayed in the eye of the formation ten miles away. The Ninth Prince dispatched an iron cavalry to ensure his safety and took charge of the expedition himself.

A bright red scarf was tied on the arms of Xia Qi’s soldiers, which was very eye-catching. They met the coalition forces of the Four Nations at Dragon Pass, and at a distance of thirty miles, they began to fight. The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces asked the Ninth Prince to surrender himself before the army and said that he would immediately retreat after getting his head.

This tactic of causing alienation did not succeed. Xia Qi’ soldiers looked firm and determined, and they rushed to kill the enemy under the command of the Ninth Prince. The coalition forces did not hesitate at all, and fought bravely. After fighting a fierce battle for a while, Xia Qi’ soldiers slowly started retreating, leading the coalition forces into the hinterland of the Dragon Pass.

At this moment, a hurricane suddenly blew all around, lifting the sand and dust into the air, obscuring the whole sky. The coalition forces could no longer tell the difference between east and west, let alone distinguish between enemy and friend. Apart from covering their mouths and noses to avoid the wind and sand, they couldn’t move at all. However, Xia Qi’ soldiers were not affected at all, as long as they met someone who didn’t wear a red scarf, they would kill the other in one blow. In this way, Xia Qi’ soldiers killed tens of thousands of enemies in a short time.
