Yu Ling spent a lot of time with Yu Zisa, and she couldn't find any signs of her being controlled by anyone. Spiritual artists must have threatened her, but Zisa wasn't asking for help or signaling her.
There was only one reason why she wasn't asking or giving signals—those who threatened her must have been spiritual artists, and she knew it.
"But I didn't even know if what Ye Kai told me was true or not. But I didn't think a man like him need to lie to me. With all those martial emperors by his side, conquering this kingdom was just like snatching a toy from a child."
Yu Ling trembled as she felt the pressure from looking at those martial arts emperors. She knew that only five were enough to conquer her kingdom, but he had dozens of martial arts emperors.
She came out of the room, went into her room, and sat on her bed, thinking about spiritual artists.
"First, I shall try to find out who they are. The whole castle's servants are women who are born and lived in the castle their whole lives. But assuming they can change their appearance, then what position will be best for them to control Zisa? What will be the best way to threaten Zisa?"
Yu Ling couldn't pinpoint the best position to control Yu Zisa without drawing any suspicion or the best way to threaten her.
"Mother... Zisa's mother. The only way to control Zisa will be to threaten her with her mother, and the best position to hide will be Zisa's mother's maid."
Yu Zisa wasn't the daughter of the current Queen. In Dark Vega Kingdom, the strongest and most intelligent woman under thirty years was qualified to be the next Queen, and Yu Zisa was only eighteen years old. Only a handful of people could stand against her. Undoubtedly, Yu Zisa had a bright future and was also the hope of the current Queen.
If there was any weakness, it must have been Yu Zisa's mother, and hiding as her mother's maid would have been a secure place.
"But this is just my assumption. I didn't have any proof, nor did Zisa show any signs. There is a chance Ye Kai is lying, or he isn't. There is a chance what I thought is wrong. What should I do? Urgh... Sister, why did you have to become ill right then?" Yu Ling scratched her head and just couldn't come up with what she should do.
If what Ye Kai said was true, then those two spiritual artists must have been planning to kill the Queen in a way that seemed like an accident and make Yu Zisa the next Queen faster. But no one knew that the real Queen's mental state had regressed, and Yu Ling was acting as the Queen. So Yu Ling was in danger, but she couldn't care less about this; what she cared about was her sister, Yu Bing.
Yu Ling was trying to find a way to heal her sister. The most important thing for her was her sister, so that she couldn't care about the kingdom. However, her sister cared a lot about the kingdom and its people, so Yu Ling couldn't let anything happen to the kingdom.
However, she knew he would forcibly conquer this kingdom if she didn't agree with Ye Kai. And if she agreed, she didn't know how Morimo, with so many spiritual artists, would have acted.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, one thing she knew was that she had to agree with Ye Kai because if she declined, he would have attacked right away, while Morimo would have taken some time. Ye Kai told her he would defeat those two spiritual artists before he took the kingdom as his own. Then Ye Kai must have had some sort of confidence, knowing that Morimo had so many spiritual artists.
Thinking like that, Yu Ling lay on the bed. It was still bright outside, but she felt tired and closed her eyes. She was glad that she didn't have to do many duties as the Queen and could laze around if she wanted.

Ye Kai was thinking of the delicious body of Yu Ling. Among all the women, she was the most beautiful one. Of course, her twin sister, who was also the real Queen, was also the most beautiful woman, but seeing her childlike attitude made it impossible for Ye Kai to be interested in her.
Now, Ye Kai was thinking about what he should do. He told Yu Ling that he gave her one day's time and informed her that Yu Zisa was being controlled.
"She is going to investigate Yu Zisa, but even if she did, she wouldn't find anything and might come to the wrong conclusion," the System said.
"Yeah, of course. If she believes in things like mind control, then she might consider it as an option. But if she doesn't, then she is going to reach the wrong conclusion. Not that we have to care about it. But I'm more interested in the Queen. How did she become a Martial Art Emperor with that type of mentality?"
"Oh, well, I'm not going to tell. You can ask Yu Ling tomorrow if you want to know."
"You are not being useful since you awakened."
"Haha, host, don't be silly. I don't think you have any more useful partner than me."
"I have. All the workers who are working at the mines are my most useful people."
"Humph, they are children whom I gave life, so indirectly, I'm the one helping you. Hence, I'm the most useful one."
"No, you're not."
"I'm the one who is most useful, you have to say this or I won't let you buy anything from the system."
"I don't need your permission. System, give me ice cola."
[Ding! Thank you for purchasing]
"See, even if you don't want to, you can't stop me from buying whatever I want."
"I let you buy that one."
"Is that so? Then don't let me buy another ice cola."
"Humph..."
"System, give me ice cola."
[Ding! Thank you for purchasing]
"See, you can't stop me."
"..."
"System? Want to say something?"
"..."
"Haha."

In the midst of the castle's royal garden, a beautiful woman and a man sat in white chairs, placed strategically to capture the garden's splendor.
Ye Kai sipped on fragrant tea, his eyes enchanted by the breathtaking tapestry of vibrant blooms and lush foliage surrounding them. Towering hedges guarded the perimeter, lending an air of privacy to their moment of leisure.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWinding stone pathways led to elegant fountains, their gentle melodies harmonizing with the rustling of leaves. Marble statues of regal figures watched over them, frozen in timeless elegance.
The enchanting mix of colors and scents danced on the breeze as butterflies flitted gracefully around the couple, adding to the garden's allure. Graceful peacocks strutted proudly nearby as if acknowledging the beauty of the scene.
Ye Kai nodded, taking in the beautiful scenery. "So what do you want to do?" He shifted his gaze from the garden and looked at Yu Ling.
"I'm now the real queen of this kingdom, so I can't decide anything," Yu Ling replied.
She had already decided to accept Ye Kai's proposal. If those spiritual artists really were here, it was only a matter of time before the "Acting Queen" would die, and Yu Zisa would become the Queen. She didn't know what would happen to her sister if that happened. She didn't care whether Morimo or Ye Kai conquered the kingdom; all she wanted was her sister's happiness.
"I know. The real Queen, even when grown up, acts like a little girl. Well, I also want to ask you about that. Tell me, what happened to her?" Ye Kai didn't expect her to reveal this, but it didn't matter, as he was going to ask this question regardless.
"So you know." Yu Ling was silent for a while, shocked that no one besides her knew this, but she didn't feel too surprised. "My sister, I don't know what happened, but she went outside of this island. When she returned, she was okay, but slowly, her mental age regressed, and I think in just a few months, she is going to become like an infant who doesn't know how to walk or eat." Yu Ling spoke, "But here, I have something to say. Even with her mental state like that, she is the Queen of this kingdom, and I don't have the right to say anything about your proposal."
"Oh, I see." Ye Kai nodded his head and asked his System if there was any way to save Ye Bing, to which the System replied yes.
"If I save your sister and make her back to normal, then you have to be my slave. How about this?" Ye Kai said.
"Really?" Yu Ling jumped from her chair, intensely looking at Ye Kai.
"Of course, but you have to be my slave, that's the condition."
"Okay, I'm ready. You can do whatever you want with me as long as you save my sister," Yu Ling spoke.
She was ready to accept Ye Kai's demands, but she had only brought up her sister's issues because she wanted to see if Ye Kai would save her sister. She hoped he would save her without asking for anything in return, but she was willing to pay even if he asked for something.
Compared to her sister, her own body was nothing but...
"I know you only want to play with my body. You will abandon me after you get bored, so I request that after you get bored, can I go and be with my sister?"
"Of course, I don't have any problems with that."
