Chapter 581: Dying in a dream
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
When they saw the events unfolding, everyone on the street immediately got out of the way, staying clear of them.
Little Dream stood in front of Sima You Yue, saying, "Yue Yue, don't be afraid. I'll protect you."
Sima You Yue looked at her little stature and smiled, "Okay."
You could tell that these people were malicious and evil in a single glance. When they came over, they even sent those who were standing in front of them flying. Although those people were devil clansmen, they were merely ordinary people in the devil clan living ordinary lives.
In the past, she used to be a bit prejudiced against the devil clan. However, that was also because most of them were evil. Now that she came to the devil realm, she saw them living normal lives with her own eyes.It was only now that she knew they were similar to the human realm. There were average people as well, living average lives.
The cruel ones were just a handful of them.
"Who are you, and why are you surrounding us?" Little Dream wasn't worried at all while facing them.
"Our Young Master wants to invite you over as guests." A yellow-fur monkey said.
Sima You Yue looked at him. She recalled seeing that yellow fur in the inn before.
"Who is your Young Master? We don't know him. We're not going." Little Dream rejected him straightforwardly.
"Hmph, in this place, do you actually think you can choose not to go? Don't reject us while we're still playing nice." That yellow-fur lost his patience when he saw that Little Dream wasn't giving gin, and threatened her directly.
Those guards surrounding them casually moved, drawing attention to their presence. If they didn't follow them obediently, they would have to act.
Little Dream glanced at them closely, saying in a low growl, "Scram!"
"Men, under the orders of the Young Master, take them away." Yellow-fur gave a shout, and the others started to come closer.
"Hmph!" Little Dream gave a confused snort. She waved her hands in their direction and they were sent flying
"De- Devil Emperor?!" That yellow-fur crawled up from the ground and looked at Little Dream with shock.
This little child was actually a Devil Emperor...
"Scram!" Little Dream knew that Sima You Yue didn't want to make a big fuss and draw attention, which was why she didn't just kill them all.
This time, they ran off with their tails between their legs, and didn't even dare to look back.
Sima You Yue saw that the others were pointing and talking about them, so she said something to Little Dream and they went back.
Although Little Dream loved bustling activity, she didn't want to others to watch from the side of the street. So, she held her hand and returned to the inn.
However, this incident wasn't resolved that easily.
When night fell, Sima You Yue saw Little Dream who was sneaking out, and shook her head helplessly.
Little Dream came back very quickly and saw Sima You Yue, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. She ran over to her with a big grin.
"Yue Yue, I went to take care of those people." Little Dream wanted to take credit for her achievement.
"How did you take care of them?" Sima You Yue scooted in to let Little Dream lie down beside her.
"I got them to fall into a Devil Dream, and they will die within their dreams in a few days." Little Dream cracked her knuckles, "Those people are too hateful. I heard that they still wanted to kidnap you, so I made their entire residence fall into a dream."
Sima You Yue saw her speak of it so lightly, but she knew that those who had fallen into the Devil Dream definitely were not having a good time. Little Dream was very protective of her, which was why she knew that after they had plotted against her, Little Dream would let them have a good time within their dreams.
"Oh right, Yue Yue, I heard them talking, and it was about you." Little Dream said worriedly.
"What's up?"
"I heard that some young master wants to catch you because you're a white devil clansmen, and can bring joy as well as help in cultivation. He even wants to present you as a gift to whichever strong power. He has even sent word to that party about it." Little Dream said, "But, Yue Yue, don't worry. I will definitely protect you. If one comes, I'll kill one. If two come, I'll kill two!"
Were the white devil clansmen actually the rumored cultivation furnaces?
Sima You Yue looked at the fur on her hand and the white hair on her head. She pursed her lips helplessly.
However, she had no choice. Thousand Resonance was white, so the fur that appeared was white as well. If she had known this earlier, she would have dyed the fur some other colour.
Now that so many people had already seen what she looked like, it was too late to dye it now.
She didn't know whether or not this would bring Mo Sha trouble.
When she thought of this, she sighed. It was fine if Little Dream didn't remember, but this guy clearly knew, so why had he brought her here looking like this? If something bad happened, she wasn't to blame.
However, this guy was secretive recently. She didn't know what he was doing.
Two days later when she was reading in the room, Mo Sha sent word to them to toss Hua Xiu into his room. She didn't know what in the world he was planning, but she did as he instructed.
A short moment later, Sima You Yue saw Mo Sha leading a green haired human-like male inside.
When that male saw Sima You Yue, his eyes flashed with surprise. His eyes were slanted, and rather clear.
"This is Hua Jing. Where is Hua Xiu?" Mo Sha asked.
"This lowly one is Hua Jing, I am Hua Xiu's older brother. I wonder where Hua Xiu is now?" Hua Jing saw that there was nobody in the room, so he said rather worriedly.
Sima You Yue saw the way that Mo Sha was acting, and knew that the Hua Clan was still loyal to their master, and loyal to the Devil King. That was why he could be considered as one of their own right now. She was a little embarrassed as she opened a cupboard beside them.
"He's here."
Hua Jing saw that Hua Xiu didn't appear to be breathing, and dashed to him. He held onto his shoulder and cried, "Hua Xiu, Hua Xiu, wake up."
"That... He's been poisoned by me and won't wake up without medication." Sima You Yue could feel her nose getting rather itchy, so she stretched forth a hand and rubbed it.
"I implore you, madam, to give him the antidote." Although Hua Jing's heart ached for his younger brother, he did not dare to show any disrespect.
Sima You Yue took out a bottle and placed it in Hua Jing's hand. Then, she pulled on Little Dream and hid far away. Mo Sha glanced at her, and retreated as well.
Hua Jing did not know why they would stand so far away, but he understood the moment he opened the bottle.
This medicine was not just ordinarily smelly!
Sima You Yue saw that Hua Jing's eyebrows were knitted tightly together and Mo Sha was secretly smiling, and giggled sheepishly.
That medicine had one special point, which was that it was extremely stinky. This kind of poisons wouldn't normally be used on her own people. It was used on others, so why not let them suffer a little!
Hua Xiu woke up very quickly after eating the antidote. He looked at Hua Jing and called out subconsciously, "Brother."
"Since he's already woken up, let's set off quickly." Mo Sha said.
As such, the confused Sima You Yue and the not-yet-fully-recovered Hua Xiu followed them as they left the inn hurriedly, leaving the city entirely.
Shortly after they left, two people entered a house somewhere. When they saw that everyone there had died, their expressions turned ugly.
"Look at them. It seems like they've died in their dreams." Someone commented.
Someone else exhaled, "Died in their dreams? Could- could it be..."
Chapter 582: Causing a stir
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
The person tried to say it a few times, but he couldn't get the rest of his words out. You could tell how big of an impact this had on them.
"Could it be that that clan has appeared?"
"How could it be? They'd already been wiped out by the several big clans. How could they appear?"
"I just hope that our guesses are wrong."
"We're here to kidnap the Devil Fox, but now that all their people have died, how are we going to find it?"
"Wherever that Devil Fox appears, there will definitely be people who spot her. We just have to scout for information to find out."
Devil Fox – they referred to the descendants of the white devil clansmen.
"What do we do about the situation here?"
"Send word back to our clans, and get them to figure it out."
"That's all we can do for now. Someone's coming, let's leave this place."
The two of them disappear immediately, and two devil clansmen come immediately. When they see the scene, they are equally shocked and contact their superiors immediately.
The manager of the inn that Sima You Yue had first stayed in received quite a heavy mental blow. In the past, it was merely a small place where nobody important came. However, because of that Devil Fox who stayed here, more than ten groups had already come in for information. Some were kinder, while others were more evil. He had almost lost his life to the hands of those people twice.
Today, after everyone leaves, after the manager had come so close to death once again, he decided to close his inn for a year and stay out of trouble.
Although there were many in the devil realm who wanted to break through the barrier to the human realm, he had never felt that it was as dangerous as it was now.
He kept having the feeling that, ever since the three of them stepped in here, the devil realm would get turned upside down.
News that a Devil Fox had appeared made its rounds quickly around the entire devil realm. It had been close to ten thousand years since a devil fox had appeared. So, apart from those who had first gotten hold of the news, there were many troops who had joined in the search for the devil fox.
However, ever since the devil fox left the city, nobody caught a trace of her.
At this moment, Sima You Yue was currently standing in front of some ruins, watching Hua Xiu and his brother cry out mournfully.
By this time, she had already changed her clothing and changed her horns into a pair of long ears. There was even a short tail behind her with fur covering her arms.
However, the reminder from Hua Xiu and his brother, she turned the fur on her arms completely black. She had already wasted many days in the concoction of the gye.
Following Sima You Yue's change in disguise, Little Dream and Mo Sha have to change their disguise as well. However, both of them were born this way, so it was harder for them to change it. It was a good thing that Hua Xiu was good at disguises. After he was done with them, they looked completely different.
After they were done with their disguise, they appeared in front of everyone again. They then headed straight to the Hua Clan, planning to meet their clan leader because they heard that their clan leader was here.
However, by the time they arrived, they realised the Hua Clan had been eradicated. The houses were burnt to the ground and they didn't know if their clan leader was dead or alive.
"That- You guys, don't be so sad. Who knows, your clan leader might be alive?" Sima You Yue saw that the brothers were breaking down due to the travesty, and could not help but think back to the time her grandfather and brothers were kidnapped, where she stood in front of their broken-down residence. She couldn't help but try and cheer them up.
"Who has a grudge against you?" Mo Sha asked.
"Zu clan." Hua Jing said.
When he heard of the Zu Clan, Mo Sha's eyebrows furrowed.
"Was that also another clan under you?" Sima You Yue asked.
"They've already switched loyalties. Shortly after King died, they went under the royal family's banner." Hua Xiu said, "Not only that. They've continued to convince other clans to abandon their previous loyalties as well. For those that are unwilling, he suppresses them. Some could not hold up under their threats and cajoles, and have become dogs of the royal families. As for those who were unwilling to switch loyalties, he eradicated most of them. Those who survived went into hiding."
"Are those people still around?" Sima You Yue asked.
"Those would went into hiding that year were very powerful, and the royal family had no way to suppress them all. So, they were allowed to remain in hiding. After so many years passed, even we are not clear on how those secret clans are doing." Hua Jing said, "However, like the subordinates of the king that year, I believe that the elders would know. Young Master, if you want to find them, we have to look for the elders."
"But the devil realm is to big. We also don't know if your elders have been taken. Even if we did, we have no idea where they have been taken to. Where are we supposed to go to look for them?" Sima You Yue said, "Also, your place just got razed. We don't know how your clan is doing."
Hua Xiu and his brother were depressed. That's right, this branch had been destroyed. Who knew whether the others were as well.
Mo Sha didn't say anything. He walked to the ruins and formed a seal with both hands. It seemed as though the environment around him slowly started to distort. Even his silhouette turned a little translucent.
"This is..." Hua Xiu took a deep breath and watched as the twisted space slowly turned into an image. Through the image, they saw the place get infiltrated and attacked. After they killed everyone, they set fire to the house and the people. Near the end of it they take the elders of the Hua Clan with them as they leave.
The image slowly fades away, but the warped space still remains. Mo Sha's body once again appears among the ruins.
"Did you see it clearly?" He looked at Hui Xiu and the rest.
"Yeah. They are truly the Zu clansmen." Hua Xiu says.
"Were your clan elders the people who were taken away at the very end?" Sima You Yue asked.
"Yes." Hua Jing confirms, "Based on what they said at the end, it seems they want to bring the elders to Blood Level City."
"Blood Level City?" Sima You Yue sees that the expressions of the two brothers ain't great, and feels that there's something more to it, "It's very dangerous there?"
"That's where the main branch of the Zu clan is." Hua Jing explains, "Also, they mentioned at the end of that image that they were going to meet with a few old friends. This shows that our elders are not the first ones they've kidnapped. So why have they kidnapped so many elders, and where have they gotten the power to do so?"
"Royal family." Mo Sha said.
Sima You Yue was not familiar with this and that clan or clan elder. However, she could tell from Hua Jing's words and expressions that things were going to get spicy.
"So are we going to Blood Level City to save their elders?"
"We have to rescue the elders quickly, but we first have to tell you about what's happening between our clans. You can't just head into Blood Level City. You have to make the proper preparations first." Hua Jing said.
"Then let's head to your main branch first." Mo Sha turned to leave after throwing down this sentence.
Sima You Yue followed after him. There were few teleportation arrays here, and it was unlike the human realm which had one in every city. They could only rely on their flying spirit beasts.
However, they had not gotten far before a group of people surrounded them.
"Who are you guys?" Hua Xiu asked.
"You have no right to ask who we are. Hand her over." The first guy pointed to Sima You Yue and said.
Chapter 583: The Consequence of Mistaken Identity
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Looking for her?
Sima You Yue blinked harshly. She had already changed her appearance, why were they still looking for her?
Was it because she was a girl?
Since she retracted her light attribute spirit power and let the illusion array disappeared, she could only changed into women's clothing. Otherwise, she could disguised as a male demon in spite of the fact that she might be ugly!
"What did you find me for? I don't even know you." She met their nauseating gazes. She subconsciously hid behind Mo Sha's back.
"Princess Black Jade, I'm advising you to not fight fruitlessly. As long as you're in the demon realm, you cannot escape from my master's hand." that person spoke.
"Princess Black Jade? What kind of thing was that?"
"Black Jade is a clan in the devil clan with higher bloodline. Their body contained the Antiquity Divine Beast Hou's bloodline. Their strength is relatively strong. But, it seems their situation doesn't seem to be going well." Mo Sha knew Sima You Yue wasn't aware and explained while lowering his head for her to hear.
With her long ears and hairy hands grabbing her clothes, she did look like she was from the Black Jade clan.
"Isn't Little Roar's clan a light attribute divine beast?" Sima You Yue didn't understand how light beast and the dark beast could be blood related?
"You'll understand later."
Mo Sha didn't want to say anymore. She curled her lips and shouted to them, "I am not your what old princess. You're mistaking me."
"With an appearance like this, moreover you can speak the human language, who else could you be except Princess Black Jade?" The leader of the group waved to the rest, "Take them back."
"Zhang family's people?" Hua Jing glared at these people and said coldy, "Your Zhang family dares to touch the Black Jade clan. Did your guts get bigger?"
"What Zhang family wants to do is not up to you to interrupt." That person spoke. "Originally, I heard Princess Black Jade was alone. I didn't think you guys would be together with her. It doesn't you matter if you know one another in the past or suddenly met. Since this situation was witnessed by you, then my bad. Except Princess Black Jade, no one can live!"
"Yes."
The strength of Zhang family weren't weak, but in the face of Little Dream, there wasn't much to see. Sima You Yue felt the flash of the shadow in front of her, and those people all fell.
"Humph, I especially hate those who bully Yue Yue!" Little Dream stomped on the last person like a child.
Hua Xiu and Hua Jing stared dumbstrucked at the tiny person jumping about. Especially, Hua Xiu felt his mouth might have dropped to the ground.
"Little Dream." At Sima You Yue's beckoning, Little Dream finally let go of that corpse and returned to Sima You Yue's side.
"Yue Yue, don't worry, those people won't dare to come at you again." Little Dream's thinking was simple. Everyone who wanted to kidnap Yue Yue was evil.
"I..."
When Sima You Yue started, Mo Sha suddenly moved at her side. His right hand move toward a direction, and black shadow was sucked over from nearby in which he gripped at the throat.
"Wait a second." Sima You Yue yelled out. Mo Sha stopped tightening at the throat.
He glanced at Sima You Yue and was unhappy at her for stopping him.
"We don't know the other party." Sima You Yue raised the corner of her mouth and explained.
"Mmmm——-" Both hands of the dark shadow grabbed onto Mo Sha's hand, trying to loosen his grip.
"Are you Princess Black Jade?" Hua Jing sized up the black shadow, and spoke uncertainly.
"Hiss——-" The black shadow bared her teeth at Hua Jing. this response was cute, not all frightening.
Her response indicated she was Princess Black Jade.
Sima You Yue observes her and herself. Except the five sense organs that were different, the rest were similar. It was no wonder those people mistook her for Princess Black Jade.
"Let me go!" Princess Black Jade lifted her foot and kicked at Mo Sha.
Mo Sha's eyes turned gloomy. He swiped his hand and Princess Black Jade was thrown away. She landed ruthlessly on the ground.
"Pfff——-"
Princess Black Jade propped herself off the ground and spit out light violet blood.
"Violet colored blood..." Sima You Yue observed Princess Black Jade's blood and strolled over curiously.
The blood of the devil clan she had seen was almost all blue, or red like of human beings. This was the first time she saw the light purple blood.
"Don't come here! Or else, I'll commit suicide right here! I'll let none of you get me!" Princess Black Jade took out a dagger and placed it on her neck.
"We just saved you." Sima You Yue stopped her steps. "You just saw that those people mistook me for you, so you escaped. We already then discovered you. If we had handed you over to them, you might have already been taken away."
There was a twinkle in Princess Black Jade's eyes. She didn't deny this fact.
"But you also want to kill me." She raised her eyes and glanced at Mo Sha. His killing intent was real. If it wasn't Sima You Yue called out in time, she would have died.
"You have been injured. If you aren't treated soon, it'll become serious." Sima You Yue watched her appearance. She thought, Mo Sha was indeed ruthless. He had no protective feelings to the fairer sex. "I can help you."
Princess Black Jade showed surprised in her eyes. She didn't expect her to say those words.
Sima You Yue retrieved a pill bottle and walked over. She took out a pill and delivered it in front of her.
Little Dream ran over, pulling at her clothes as she glared at Princess Black Jade, who hadn't moved. She said unhappily, "Yue Yue said this can cure your injury, so it will. If she wanted to kill you, she wouldn't need to use this kind of plan?"
While Princess Black Jade hid in the distance, she witnessed Little Dream killed all the people in an instant. Her words were true, so she reached out and took the pill.
Sima You Yue had refined this pill for Mo Sha in the past; she didn't expect it could be of us now.
Princess Black Jade recovered much after consuming the pill. Her expression towards Sima You Yue become more relaxed.
"Thank you."
"No need for thanks, who told you to be related to Little Roar!" Sima You Yue looked at Princess Black Jade's long ears which were similar to LIttle Roar. She couldn't help but rubbed them.
Princess Black Jade was shocked and stared at Sima You Yue. She subconsciously was about to slap her, but fortunately, Little Dream caught her hand.
"You're too ungrateful! Yue Yue saved you, yet you dare to hit her!" Little Dream's eyes were filled with evil tendencies.
"Cough cough, it seems you commited a taboo of the Black Jade clan." Hua Jing explained from aside.
"What taboo?" Sima You Yue didn't understand. Was rubbing her ears called committing a taboo?
"In the Black Jade clan, you cannot rub their ears so casually." Hua Jing continued. "If your ears are rubbed by a male, that means you want to marry her."
"But I am a girl!"
"If by a girl, that means, that girl wants to flirt with her."
Sima You Yue's face turned dark. She felt there was a crow quacking behind her head as it flew across.
Chapter 584: Ba Jia Zi
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Who would have thought that just touching the ears of the Black Jade clan would end up causing this. It was no wonder they would be so mad. A simple slap was nothing. If it were not for the fact that she had seen her save her just now, she might have already died.
Although it wasn't for sure that they would be able to kill her.
"Sorry, I didn't know that you had a custom like that." Sima You Yue apologised, "It's not a sin if one doesn't know beforehand. Can you just take it that it didn't happen?"
Princess Black Jade looked at her and saw the sincerity in her eyes, so she knew that it wasn't intentional. Although she wasn't angry, she still felt a little awkward.
Sima You Yue glanced at Little Dream, who released Princess Black Jade's hand. However, she still looked warily at her, afraid that she would harm You Yue.
Hua Xiu walked over and saw Princess Black Jade sitting on the ground with You Yue squatting beside her. He said, "You two do look really similar."
Sima You Yeu touched her own ears and lamented the fact that trouble came no matter what she looked like. It seemed that she should change her disguise again.
Did she really have to look like those ugly creatures?
She thought of those ugly devil clansmen that she had passed, and could not help but break out in cold sweat.
"No need to change it, just stay this way." Mo Sha said.
Sima You Yue turned back and glanced at him. Didn't this guy break off their former contact? How did he know what she was thinking?
"What's your name?" Hua Xiu asked Princess Black Jade.
"Ba Jia Zi." Princess Black Jade replied.
"Ba Jia Zi." Are you really a princess from the Black Jade clan?" Sima You Yue asked.
Ba Jia Zi nodded.
"Then what are you doing here?" Hua Xiu asked.
"Several clans were trying to kill me. I happened to escape here." Ba Jia Zi replied.
"What about your clansmen?"
Ba Jia Zi shook her head, "I came out to do something when suddenly they started trying to kill me. The guards I brought with me have all been killed. I'm the only one who managed to escape. I don't know whether they're just after me this time, or whether they have plotted against my Black Jade Clan. Are you able to help me? I will compensate you properly."
"Sorry, we're busy ourselves." Hua Jing glanced at Mo Sha and rejected her, when he saw his solemn expression.
When Ba Jia Zi heard it, she began to cry. However, she did not continue to ask for help. It's just that those ears were flopped over sadly, and Sima You Yue couldn't bear it.
Little Roar always looked that way when he was hurting.
"That- can't we just help out?" She held on to her own ears, "Whether or not we can rescue them is another thing, but we can at least send her back."
"You Yue, we might bump into trouble ourselves." Hua Jing said, "When the time comes, we might drag Princess Black Jade down with us."
Sima You Yue thought about that as well. With the Hua Clan as it was right now, they were embroiled in a lot of trouble. They had to get rid of the problem quickly and let Mo Sha complete his tasks as soon as possible, then return to the ancient primordial lands.
They were not of the Devil Clan, and it was increasingly dangerous the longer they stayed.
However, were they really supposed to abandon such a cutie here?
Ba Jia Zi saw Sima You Yue hesitate, and her ears drooped even lower.
"Yue Yue, help her out. She might give you a surprise." Little Road suddenly transmitted to her.
"Surprise? Are you sure you don't mean a shock?" Sima You Yue said with uncertainty.
This guy never appeared reliable.
"Yeah, trust me." Little Roar said confidently.
Sima You Yue had no idea why Little Roar would suddenly tell her this. However, since one of her own had requested this of her, she could not bear to reject him.
Little Roar was her very first saint beast, and she had always treasured him. No matter how much trouble he caused or how gluttonous he was, she always spoilt him.
"Little Roar said that we should help her." She told Mo Sha.
Hua Jing and Hua Xiu had no idea who Little Roar was. However, they noticed that after Sima You Yue said this, Mo Sha's expression softened, and he appeared to ponder over it a bit before nodding finally.
Little Roar had an inheritance passed down from the ancient times, while the Devil Jade clan also had the bloodline of saint beasts. It was possible that Little Roar knew something that they didn't.
"Alright, don't cry. We've promised to help you." Sima You Yue stretched forth a hand and wiped her tears, consoling her.
"Thank you." Ba Jia Zi said gratefully.
She could tell that it was because of You Yue that Mo Sha and the others were willing to lend her a helping hand. Otherwise, in a place like the devil realm, there was nobody who would be willing to help her.
"Alright, let's go." Hua Jing said, "We'll say whatever we need to on the way there."
The Hua Clan's branch was too close to this place, and the Zu CLan had no idea whether there were anymore around the area. That's why it was better for them to leave as soon as possible.
The few of them took their flying beasts and quickly left the area. Shortly after they left, two to three waves of people appeared where they were. However, they left after seeing that there was nobody around.
"Where are we going to now?" Sima You Yue asked.
"We're going to take a look at the city in front of us first." Mo Sha said. He glanced at Ba Jia Zi, saying, "Help dye her a different colour. This is too eye-catching."
As such, by the time they entered the city, two black bunnies had turned into two red bunnies.
"You Yue, the dye is really too realistic. We really look like we're from the red jade clan." Ba Jia Zi saw her red fur that didn't look like it had been dyed at all.
The red jade clan was different from the black jade clan. Although they were both devil bunnies, their bloodline was way different. Nobody would notice a red jade clansmen walking about the devil realm.
After dyeing herself red, others would not take her to be the princess of the black jade clan anymore.
"You can be whatever colour you want to be. If you ever grow bored of the colour red, we can also switch the colours up." Sima You Yue said.
"No need, no need. This colour is the best." Ba Jia Zi shook her head, "The red jade clansmen don't have a position in the devil realm that is too low or too high. Those lowly ranked are bullied easily, while those highly ranked draw too much attention. This is great."
"That's good, then. I'll send you some dyes next time. If you ever want to go out and have some fun, you can dye them yourself." Sima You Yue said.
"Okay."
They entered the city and first accompanied Ba Jia Zi to the place where her clan had designated as a contact point. She didn't expect that there would really be news for her.
After that, they went to an inn. After entering, Hua Ziu and the others left a secret code with the manager, who then took them to the back.
Shortly after, an old man dashed into the room.
"Young Masters, thank the heavens that you are safe." That elder immediately grabbed onto their hands and said emotionally.
"Grandpa Yan, we're fine. But Clan Leader... he..." Hua Xiu said rather sadly.
"We already know about what happened to the clan leader. Based on the information we got, the clan leader has already been kidnapped but his life is not in danger.
"We weren't around at the time, so we managed to avoid it." Hua Jing said.
Hua Yan looked agitatedly at Sima You Yue and Ba Jia Zi. his eyebrows furrow and he said, "The red red clan has betrayed the black jade clan.What are you doing with clansmen of the red jade clan?"
Chapter 585: Black Jade Clan in danger
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Everyone was shocked when Hua Yan said this.
"The Red Jade Clan betrayed the Black Jade Clan?" Ba Jia Zi cried out, "Then how are my grandparents doing now?"
Hua Yan furrowed his eyebrows in confusion when he heard her question.
"Grandfather Yan, she is Princess Ba Jia Zi from the Black Jade clan." Hua Jing explained.
"You're the princess from the Black Jade Clan?" Hua Yan looked at Ba Jia Zi with shock.
"Grandfather Yan, we rescued her on the way here. You Yue used dye to color her fur the way it is now." Hua Xiu said.
"How are my grandparents and the others?" Ba Jia Zi asked.
"Your grandparents, like our elders, have been kidnapped. They are currently locked in the same place." Hua Yan said. "The others clans have been killed and kidnapped as well. Furthermore, because of the Red Jade Clan's betrayal, the Zhang Clan knows how you guys communicate with each other. Some of those who were outside were told to return home, only to be kidnapped.
Sima You Yue thought of that secret code they received earlier. They didn't expect that it would be fake. If Ba Jia Zi was alone, she would definitely have gone to look for them after receiving that secret code. Then, she would have been captured.
"Red Jade Clan!" Ba Jia Zi clenched her fists tightly, and her face was one of rage. "They dared deceive my grandparents into trusting them! I'm going to take revenge!"
"If you go right now, would you not be falling into their trap?" Sima You Yue pulled on her. "It's a good thing we happened to find you. If you go and look for them now, what would you do if they kidnapped you and used you as leverage against your grandparents?"
Ba Jia Zi calmed down and said, "You're right. I can't be rash, I have to think of a good way to rescue them."
After speaking, she sat down in a corner to think of a way.
"Grandfather Yan, what is going on? We merely went over for a few months. How did things get so bad?" Hua Xiu asked.
"It has to do with our elders and the Zu clan's collusion with the royal family. We never thought that they would secretly conspire with them and convince the Red Jade clan. They quickly, without anyone noticing, suppressed the Hua and Black Jade Clan. If it were not for the fact that we got a bit of news before they acted, I think that we would all have ended up kidnapped." Hua Yan said.
"Are our elders held in the same place as the Black Jade Clan's elders?"
"We received news that they're all locked in Blood Level City." Hua Yan said.
"Why did they kidnap the elders from two clans?" Sima You Yue asked,
"There must be some relation that we don't know yet." Hua Xiu said, "Regardless, we have to think of a way to rescue them. Since Ba Jia Zi is with us, we can go and rescue them together."
"It's best for her to return back to the clan first." Hua Xiu said.
"Why?"
"Because, not only did the Red Jade clan betray the devil rabbit clan, they also want to take over them. That's why, those Black Jade rabbits who did not get kidnapped are in danger." Hua Yan said, "Their elders who are currently Blood Level City are not in danger of losing their lives at the moment. However, I can't say the same for the rest of their clan."
"However, since they've already been captured, there must be many guarding them. Do we have the manpower to rescue them?" Hua Jing asked.
"Honestly, we don't even have enough people to go to Blood Level City to rescue our people." Hua Yan said honestly. "However, if we are able to rescue Black Jade's people, we'll have a higher chance of being able to rescue our people."
"Then do we have any chance of successfully rescuing their people if we head over right now?"
"We don't have many people with us now. Also, most of them have headed to Blood Level City. They won't be able to rescue the Black Jade Clan."
"Then we have to depend on just Ba Jia Zi to rescue them alone?" Hua Xiu said.
"We've already checked it out. Actually, those people who have captured the Black Jade Clan aren't that dangerous. It's just that they've been poisoned, and have no way of retaliating. As long as we can find an alchemist to cure them, we shouldn't have a problem." Hua Yan said, "It's just that the alchemists of our clan have been captured as well, so we have to head out to find one. We also should find one within the next two to three days."
"Two to three days?" Hua Xiu and Hua Jing cried out, "There are so few alchemists in Devil Realm. How are we supposed to find one in such a short time?"
The light of hope that was in Ba Jia Zi's eyes was also immediately snuffed out. With so few alchemists, they couldn't even bump into one in a few months. How were they supposed to find one in two to three days.
"Are I really supposed to watch my clansmen die with my eyes wide open? How will I ever face my grandparents and everyone else?" When she thought of this, Ba Jia Zi burst into tears.
Hua Xiu and Hua Jing were also in distress. If they were able to rescue the Black Jade clan, then they would also be able to help the Hua clan. However, they couldn't just produce an alchemist!
"What rank does your alchemist need to be?" As everyone was fretting, Sima You Yue suddenly asked.
"We just need one that's around the fifth rank." Hua Xiu said.
I might be able to help, then." Sima You Yue said.
"You Yue, are you an alchemist?" Ba Jia Zi asked excitedly.
"I don't refine your medicines often, so if you need some medicine, I have to try and see." Sima You Yue said, "However, fifth ranked medicines aren't that high. It should be fine."
"Are you really an alchemist?!" Hua Xiu looked at her, not daring to believe. They did not realise it the entire way here. "However, aren't you from the human clan? Are you able to refine our medicine?"
"What, you are a human?" Hua Yan and Ba Jia Zi were shocked. The outcome would be unthinkable if the other devil clans found out that a human appeared here.
"Grandfather Yan, she's the one we kidnapped." Hua Xiu said.
Sima You Yue pursed her lips. If it were not for the fact that Mo Sha had plotted with him to do so intentionally, how could they have kidnapped her successfully?
"If you are a human, then the medicine you concoct will be of no use to us. To us, it will be extremely toxic." Hua Yan said.
"Ba Jia Zi ate the pills I refine, and she's fine." Sima You Yue said.
"You were the one who made the pill I ate?" Ba Jia Zi took a breath and felt as if she almost died. However, the results were really not bad.
Sima You Yue opened her hand, and condensed some dark spirit energy in her palm. It spoke for itself.
"You Yue, I implore you to rescue my clansmen. When the time comes, my devil rabbit clan will definitely compensate you." Ba Jia Zi said while holding on to her hand.
Sima You Yue glanced at Mo Sha. When she saw that he did not protest, she nodded at Ba Jia Zi.
"I have to know the method of your pill refinement, and I'll need you to prepare the ingredients." Sima You Yue said.
"I have the method, and two portions of the pill ingredients as well. I was tasked by the previous alchemists to manage them." Hua Yan took out a pile of ingredients along with a black fabric. On that black fabric, they wrote the pill method needed.
Sima You yue took that pill and examined it once over. Then, she took the pill and began to refine it.
Ever since she advanced to the sixth rank, she began refining some pills for Mo Sha. This fifth ranked pill wasn't a problem for her. Furthermore, this was one of the easier fifth ranked pills to refine.
Two hours later, she refined the pills in one go. On the second round, she improved by a whole level, improving it by one level. Hua Jing and the others were looking at her with wide eyes and mouths agape.
Chapter 586: Fusion between light and darkness
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Sima You Yue's production of the pill powder really opened a whole new world to them. If what they had for her before this was respect, then this almost turned into worship.
"Sigh, I'm truly unfamiliar with this. That's why this pill is so low ranked."
Once she said this, and everyone was truly shocked before they recovered.
"You Yue, this is only your second time refining this. Aren't you satisfied with the outcome?" Ba Jia Zi was still unable to believe her eyes. This was even more amazing that her clan's alchemists. She had seen them refine pills a few tens of times, but they were never as successful as she was.
"It's barely fused." Sima You Yue gave the pills to Hua Yan, "I can only refine it to pills around this quality. When I'm more familiar, one batch can give me two to three pills. Prepare some ingredients based on this projection. Furthermore, just because I was successful these two times, doesn't mean that all of them will be. You'd better account for that as well."
Hua Yan took the pills and was extremely excited. This success rate had already gone way beyond his expectations.
"We will prepare the ingredients for you immediately." She took the pills and dashed out.
"Yue Yue, what are you thinking about?" Little Dream saw You Yue pulled her hand and asked.
"Is there something wrong with this pill? Ba Jia Zi looked at her nervously. There shouldn't be anything wrong with the pill right? She didn't want her high hopes to crash to the ground!
"No." Sima You Yue said, "There's no problem with the pills."
"Then why do you look..." Ba Jia Zi patted her chest. She had almost been scared to death. "I was just puzzled about some things." Sima You Yue said.
"What?" Mo Sha asked.
"Senior, I've always found it a bit strange. If we were in the human realm, my pills would be of higher quality. However, they're lower here. I also have to spend quite a bit more mental energy. It's the same for both the refinement and fusion process." Sima You Yue voiced out her doubts.
"This is normal." Mo Sha said lightly, "Alchemy in the devil realm is a lot worse than the human realm.
"Is it the case for all?" Sima You Yue was stunned. Seeing Mo Sha nod, she wondered if these were the laws restricted by the heavens?
"Knock knock knock-"
There was a knock on the door, and the inn manager walked in, saying, "Young Master we just received word that Devil Jan clansmen have appeared in the city. They went to the Black Jade clan's contact point and took a look, and are now rushing to the meeting point."
Ba Jia Zi immediately stood up, saying,"Really? Do we know who is here?"
"We don't interact much with the Devil Jade clansmen. The manager replied."
"Call the men. We'll go and take a look together." Hua Jing ordered, then he turned to say to Mo Sha and Sima You Yue, "Wait here. We should be back quickly."
Mo Sha never thought of going in the first place. Sima You Yue had just finished cultivating two batches of pills, so she had yet to recover her mental energy.
Hua Xiu and the others walked off, as SIma You Yue took out two drops of soul fluid and drank it.
"It's your first time refining pills in the devil realm, and you're not familiar with it either. In order to do so successfully, you have to expand quite a bit of mental energy. You'll be fine once you've refined a bit more."
"Yeah, I'm going back first to rest ."
Sima You Yue left, while Mo Sha remained in the house a little longer. He casually formed a seal with both hands, and a mark of a black moon and long sword slowly coalesced in mid air.
He tightened his lips, and stared at the mark as his pupils turned red.
"Go-"
The mark, followed his commands, and actually left his control and flew into the sky, disappearing quickly.
Once the mark disappeared, he stood up and left the house.
Sima You Yue began cultivating once she went back. Not long after, she opened her eyes and confusion suffused them.
"The dark spirit energy here is actually lower than it is in the ancient primordial lands. Why is that so? Could it be that, as Mo Sha said, the conditions here are even harder than in the human realm. What is the heavenly law, in the end? Emperor Qing Dao..."
When she thought of things that happened at the Heavenly Pavilion, she was stunned by the daring thought that she just had.
"It shouldn't be what I'm guessing, right..."
However, the devil realm was the devil realm. It was not left to just her, a person from the human realm, to worry about. That was why it was better for her to wait for Mo Sha to finish up his stuff and head back quickly.
"Sigh, I just left like that. I wonder how Master and the others are doing. Will they worry for me? It's a pity I can't contact them to give them a peace of mind."
"Yue Yue, don't' worry. You Lin and the others have your aura. As long as that doesn't vaish, they'll know you're fine." Little Dream said.
"I'm afraid that Master and the others won't look for You Lin and the others, choosing to worry silently instead." Sima You yue said, "However, for something so serious as me being taken away to the devil realm, I expect them to tell my Grandfather. They should be able to hear the news in that way too."
"They definitely will." Little Dream nodded.
"Right." Sima You Yue called out Little Roar, saying, "little Roar, why did you get me to rescue Ba Jia Zi?"
Little Roar gave a lazy stretch and said, "The legends say that, if one meets a Black Jade Clansmen in trouble, you definitely have to help them. It will give us an unexpected but nice surprise."
"The legends say so?" Sima You Yue pursed her lips, "Then, did those legends specify why things are that way? Or what kind of nice surprise it will be?"
"... Nope." Little Roar shrunk his neck back when he saw her death glare.
Sima You Yue could not help but roll her eyes. She just knew things would end up this way.
Scammer!
"Yue Yue, calm down. Since the legends have already said so, this must be true." Little Roar nodded his head confidently as he spoke, as if it would substantiate his claims.
Sima You Yue grabbed the fur on the back of his neck, and lifted him in front of her. "What I want to know is, why you only told me half of what the legend said?"
"I didn't. It must be that it's a certain secret that they can't tell us." Little Roar explained.
"Oh?" Sima You Yue dragged the end of the word, scaring Little Roar until he curled into a little ball, "You're sure that it's not because the results of that legend are too painful, so they stopped it short?"
"Yue Yue..." Little Roar protested. She was really looking down on him too much! However, seeing You Yue's gaze that showed she already knew everything, he still surrendered. His two long ears flopped down. " Actually, it's not that they stopped it short. I feel as if the issue wasn't too important, so I tossed it far back into my brain."
"Just admit that you're lazy." Sima You Yue glared at him, "It's a good thing that the Black Jade Clan are in the same boat as the Hua Clan. It would have been troublesome if they were on opposing side. Right, do you know the original links between you guys and their clan?"
"It seems that my ancestors were together with some of them from the Black Rabbit clan. The later generations that were born carried a bit of our bloodline as well. However, you know this, we are of the light clans, while they are of the dark clans. They live in the devil realm, so fewer and fewer of them got our bloodline. They've finally become what you see now.
Sima You Yue's eyes shone, "Based on what you just told me, the Black Jade clan have characteristics of both light and dark?"
Chapter 587: An unclear plan
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Although her condition had been relatively stable in recent years, she never ever stopped worrying. Every time she grew a little stronger, her heart would skip a beat; afraid that her body would not be able to take it one day, and explode.
If the Black Jade Clan was also of the dark and light attribute, she might be able to solve her body's condition somehow.
"The Black Jade clan has always been living in the Devil Realm. We can't be certain that they have the light attribute." Little Roar said.
Sima You Yue was no longer angry, as she hugged Little Roar and pinched his long ears, saying, "Since they've had it before, even if they don't have it right now, that must mean that they definitely found a way to fix the problem. We'll ask Ba Jia Zi when the time comes."
"Mmhmm, who knows, they might have a good idea!" Little Roar said fawningly, "That's why I said that we should rescue her."
"You just happened to get lucky. If you dare to make this kind of unreliable decision again in the future, I won't necessarily spare you." Sima You Yue threatened.
"I got it..." Little Roar initially wanted to quibble, but he saw her round and scary gaze when he looked up, hinting that she wouldn't let him off if he dared to retort.
As such, he chose to submit obediently.
In a dangerous plot of land in the devil realm, it seemed that many huge pairs of eyes appeared. Each and every single pair of eyes slowly turned into a symbol, as hazy eyes flashed with joy. After which, a body that was around the height of a mountain crawled up from the ground. His long back was already crawling with living creatures.
A river was meandering around the swamp, as a symbol on the river slowly appeared. That river suddenly broke apart in the centre as a long giant snake flew out from inside. The riverbed was actually a giant snake.
It was as if those devil beasts had heard a kind of call, as their bodies trembled and shot towards a specific direction like a ray of light.
Meanwhile, those in the devil realm had no idea that this was happening. They had no idea that an earth-shattering change was about to happen.
Ba Jia Zi and the others had yet to return when Mo Sha came looking for Sima You Yue. He told here to wait here for Hua Xiu and the others while he went outside to take a look.
Sima You Yue saw that he didn't want her to go along, and knew that it wasn't too far away. She also had a head full of thoughts about the Black Jade Clan, so she nodded to show that she understood without asking what he was going to do.
Shortly after Mo Sha left, Ba Jia Zi and the others returned. There were two other human-like Devil Jade clansmen with them.
"Ba Jia Zi, I have something I want to ask you." Sima You Yue looked at Ba Jia Zi, calling out to her excitedly.
Ba Jia Zi had just rescued two of her clansmen, and was rather happy, so she ran over and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
Sima You Yue looked at Hua Xiu and the others, then pulled Ba Jia Zi into her house. Her enigmatic and secretive actions really stoked Ba Jia Zi's curiosity.
"What's going on?" Ba Jia Zi asked.
"I heard that you have the bloodline of ancient divine beast roar in you. Is that true?" Sima You Yue asked.
Ba Jia Zi nodded, replying, "That's right. It's because we have the bloodline of ancient divine beasts that our position as the Devil Rabbit clan is rather high. What's going on?"
"Divine Roar is a spirit beast of the light attribute, while you guys are devil beasts. Does this mean that your bodies have the light and dark attributes at the same time?"
"Yeah." My clansmen are born with two attributes at birth." Ba Jia Zi did not plan to keep it a secret from her benefactor, and this wasn't really considered a secret in the devil realm.
"Then how did you deal with these two attributes?" Sima You Yue asked.
"I don't know either. My clansmen will settle it once we're born." Ba Jia Zi said, "You know that we have very few light attributes here, so we are even more likely to abandon the light attributes and keep our dark attributes."
"So your body only has one attribute at this moment?" Sima You Yue was rather disappointed. If they chose to abandon one of it once they were born, she didn't know if that was still applicable and useful to her.
"That's right." Ba Jia Zi said, "I know, your body definitely has the dark and light attribute. However, I don't know of the method either. Only my executing elders and my grandparents know. Once we rescue my grandparents, I'll get them to help you think of a way."
"Alright, I'll have to thank you then." Sima You Yue replied. Although she wasn't sure whether or not this method would be of any use to her, this was still a strand of hope.
"Why are you thanking me for? You saved my life. I haven't yet shown you my gratitude! In any case, you're going to help rid my clansmen of poison, which is a huge favour to my entire clan. I have yet to think of how I can repay you, so it would be beyond great if this method was of use to you." Ba Jia Zi said with a smile.
Sima You Yue saw her sincere gaze, and wondered who spread the slander that the devil clansmen were cruel in nature? Were Little Dream and Ba Jia Zi not simple and kind hearted?
That night, Hua Yan sent all the necessary pill ingredients to her She spent the remaining time locked in her room refining pills while Ba Jia Zi, Hua Xiu and the others would occasionally lead a few people back.
Once she had finished refining all of the pills, Hua Xiu and the others were already prepared to head out to rescue the Black Jade clansmen.
"Where's Senior? Is he not back yet?" Sima You Yue looked around but didn't see any sign of Mo Sha.
"Not yet. Don't you know where he went?" Hua Xiu asked,
"I didn't ask."
"..."
Everyone looked at her speechlessly. Was he not her senior? How could she not even ask where he went?
At this moment, Mo Sha walked in and announced, "I'm back."
Hua Yan, Hua Jing and Hua Xiu had the highest authority here. Hua Yan had long since known that Mo Sha was someone related to the one they were waiting for. As such, they were very respectful to him. Hua Yan only told them to set off once he saw that he had arrived.
The Hua clan was one of the larger powers in the devil realm. Although the Zu clan had kidnapped their elders and eradicated a few branches, a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse. While Sima You Yue was refining the pills, they managed to find a rather powerful array master to set up a temporary teleportation array.
Sima You Yue examined that teleportation array closely. It was similar to the ones in the ancient primordial lands, with just some minor differences.
There weren't many going this time. Most of them were the Black jade clansmen who had been taken back here.
Sima You Yue stood in the array rather apprehensively. When the earth-shattering wave of vertigo hit her, she knew that she was going to have a bad time.
As expected, once the array activated, she vomited everything that she had in her stomach. Using her own words, she was 'puking her guts out'.
Hua Jing and the others checked her and Mo Sha in to an inn. This place was still quite a distance from the Black Jade Clan, so they would only reach if they rushed for two days.
Sima You Yue lay groggily on the bed, face ashen. She recalled that it was always Bei Gong Tang who would take care of her at times like this, so when she heard the door knock, she thought that Bei Gong Tang had followed her to the devil realm.
Chapter 588: Hands are tied
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Mo Sha carried in a tray, and on it was a light blue bowl.
"I made something for you." Mo Sha placed the tray on the table. He placed the bowl beside the table, supported her with one hand.
Sima You Yue saw the light blue soup in the bowl. She asked rather weakly, "What is this?"
"Something that will do you good." As Mo Sha spoke, he placed the bowl beside her lips.
Sima You Yue drank the liquid in the bowl as he fed it to her. After drinking it, a light taste lingered in her mouth. Her vertigo had already subsided quite a fair bit.
"What was that?" She asked again when she felt that her head had cleared up quite a bit.
"Medicine in a bowl." Mo Sha said, "You should rest up first."
After saying that, he took the bowl out.
On the second day, Mo Sha brought in a bowl of red liquid. On the third day, he gave her a bowl of green medicine. On the fourth day, the medicine was much more normal. It was a bowl of medicinal white liquid.
Sima You Yue always drank it down without the slightest bit of hesitation. Once she had finished the fourth bowl, she felt that her body felt differently towards space. It was as if she was now more in touch with space.
Since the feeling was still around, she closed her eyes and tried to comprehend space. She could feel that she had made quite a bit of improvement. If her comprehension used to be this room, then she had now stepped outside to the vast open land.
After her comprehension of space had expanded, she also realised that her range had increased. She used only to be able to control space the size of a cube, but now, she had control over space around half the size of this house.
Seeing the amount of space that she could now control gave her a huge shock. How could it be that large? She guessed that it had something to do with the medicine that Mo Sha had given her. She wondered if she could get a hold of it.
It was only later on that she found out that the medicine had not only strengthened the amount of control that she had on space, but had also cured her of the motion sickness she had when she took teleportation arrays. Whenever she used teleportation arrays later on, the vertigo never reappeared.
She had just woken up from her meditation when Mo Sha knocked on her door. She had made good use of the time.
She went to open the door and saw that Mo Sha was standing outside. He did not wait for her to say anything before speaking, "Let's head out."
"Where are we going?"
"We're going to help them."
"Eh?"
She had yet to react before Mo Sha turned around and left. She had no choice but to close the door and chase him outside.
Mo Sha took her and they walked for two days before arriving in front of a cave. There were a few corpses of the devil clansmen littered around the cave entrance, and one could tell at a glance that they were from the Red Jade clan and the Zu clan.
Mo Sha walked in front, as Sima You Yue held Little Dreams hand and followed behind him. The three of them entered the cave, and they heard the rustling sound all the way.
"Who is it?" A shout was heard from inside, then Hua Xiu and the others came running out. When they saw that it was them, the said with surprise, "What are you guys doing here?"
"Since you didn't come back after so long, we came to see if you needed any help. How are things now?" Sima You Yue said.
"I've already settled the Red Jade Clansmen, and they've already taken the medicine. However, they've already run into trouble." Hua Xiu said.
"What trouble?"
"You'll know once you come in." Hua Xiu said as he turned around and entered.
Once Sima You Yue entered, she finally understood what was wrong. It turned out that nobody knew where such a huge cage had come from. All the black jade clansmen had been trapped inside, and the cage could not be opened. They had no way to rescue them.
When they saw Sima You Yue and Mo Sha enter, there was still some puzzlement in their gazes. Hua Jing said, "This is made of a ten-thousand year iron. Without the key, we cannot open it. We've already exhausted all our ideas."
Sima You Yue glanced at Mo Sha. Could it be that this guy knew from the start that they would be unable to open the cage, which was why he got her to come and unlock it?
Ba Jia Zi was standing at the side, directing some people to attack with spirit energy. However, even using their spirit energy was ineffective. She looked like she was about to burst into tears.
Sima You Yue walked over and Ba Jia Zi forced out a smile when she looked at her, "What are you doing here?"
"Let me try." Sima You Yue saw the lock that was about one foot high, and there were scorch marks and hit marks on it. There was also marks of attempts at prying it open.
"Alright." Ba Jiz Zi did not place much of her hopes on Sima You Yue. However, since she said so, she should really have a plan!
Sima You Yue went over and took a look at the lock. She used her own fire to give it a try and burt it for 2 minutes, but the lock didn't seem to give.
When the people in the cage saw that a stranger had come, they held a bit of hope. However, the result was still unexpectedly the same.
"You Yue, the average fire is completely useless against it." Ba Jia Zi said.
"Indeed." Sima You Yue retracted her flames and began to use Crimson Flame's flame.
When the flame burst out, the temperature in the cave went up by an entire notch. Everyone felt waves of deep fear towards the flame.
"You Yue, you- what kind of flame is this?" Ba Jia Zi subconsciously took a step back as she looked at the flame pouring from her hands.
"Belongs to my contracted beast." Sima You Yue said.
She attacked with her flame, and the flame could only surround the surface of the lock. She watched as the lock slowly shrunk in size, and complained that it was taking too long. If she could just increase her flames by a bit, things would be much quicker.
However, this flame was the nemesis of the dark clans. With just this little bit, they were already trembling with fear. If she were to increase it by one notch, she was afraid that they would not be able to handle it.
Since she could not envelope the entire lock, she could only target the metal chain.
It was really useful! The Black Jade clansmen watched as the lock began to shrink in size, and their eyes filled with hope.
When Hua Xiu saw her flame, he could not help but break out in cold sweat. If she had directed that flame towards him during her kidnap, he might already have been burnt into a pile of ashes.
Time ticked slowly by, and after an hour had passed, the lock was finally broken. Sima You Yue retrieved her flame and the temperature went back to normal.
"Alright! Everyone, quickly get out."
One by one, the black rabbits came out from the cage. The poison in their bodies had already been cured, and they were now lively and full of energy."
"Princess, since the Red Jade clan dared to betray us, we will break off all our ties. We'll wipe them out!" An elder from the Black Jade clan cried out.
"That's right, Princess, we must find the Red Jade clansmen and take revenge!"
"Everyone, please calm down. We will never let the Red Jade clan off for betraying our Devil Rabbit clan. However, this is not our priority right now." Ba Jia Zi placated them, "My grandparents have been kidnapped by the Zu clan, and are now held captive in Blood Level City. Not only that, they've also kidnapped the elders of the Hua clan along with other elders from other clans. Right now, our main task should be to think of a way to rescue the elders and other clansmen. As for the Red Jade clan, we will definitely make them pay for what they've done!"
Chapter 589: Man Eating Flower King
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Later, Sima You Yue started to mind her business again. She followed behind the Black Jade clan. She watched how their clan controlled the Red Jade Clan on the ground and save everyone else. After discussing how to save their captured clan elder, they left successively to the vicinity of Blood Level City.
Mo Sha suggested to go together because their time in the devil world wasn't not long anymore. Therefore, she made a valiant expression and entered the teleportation array. But when she was teleporting, she discovered something different —- she was no longer getting dizzy!
When she arrived at the destination, she still hadn't recovered, was she no longer getting dizzy in teleportation array? Why did it feel it wasn't real?
While everyone left, she was still in a daze. Mo Sha sighed in his heart. He stretched his hand and knocked against her temple. "Let's go."
"Ah——" Sima You Yue rubbed her temple. She caught sight of his tyrannical gaze and recalled his several bowls of medicinal juice. "Was it because of the thing you gave me to drink?"
"Really stupid." Mo Sha shot her a glance before turning to leave.
Really stupid, it took her that long to react. He disdained her in his heart. However, he could not help but raise the corner of his mouth when he saw the joy she showed because she wasn't dizzy while in the teleportation array.
Sima You Yue curled her lips behind his back, and then strode upwards.
It was really great she didn't get dizzy in the teleportation array!
When she returned she must get her hands on the formula. She would give it Feng'er and let him also not become dizzy in the teleportation array.
The Black Jade clansmember took them to the mountain range in the vicinity of the Blood Level City. At this mountain peak, they could see the overview of the Blood Level City.
While Mo Sha discussed with Hua Jing and the rest on how to save the captured people, she was stupefied on the side. The things they talked about in this brief period of time, she couldn't understand them unlike Mo Sha. He could analyze the situation precisely just by listening to Hua Jing and their discussion.
She raised her head and observed dusky sky. It seemed that there was no blue sky or white clouds here, and there was no sun all day. She wasn't sure how those green plants could grow.
She was extremely bored. She saw they were still discussing and a few more strangers came in from the back. So she silently left the mountain peak. Mo Sha sensed she left and glanced in the direction before continuing discussing with them.
Unknowingly, she had walked a distance away from the mountain peak.
"Crunch——"
A clear sound was transmitted. She looked around and saw no one.
"Crunch—— crunch——"
The sound transmitted in succession, but no movement.
She summoned Little Dream. Two people followed in the direction of the sound.
"Crunch——"
They sensed someone approaching and that sound vanished.
"That sounded like someone was munching something." Little Dream said.
"I think so too, but there's no one around." They searched around and didn't see anything peculiar. They leaned on large flower before sitting under it.
"Yue Yue, it's a little strange here." Little Dream spoke. "There seems to be no life around this vicinity."
"It's indeed weird." Sima You Yue closed her eyes and sensed around. She couldn't discovered anything strange. Beside the trees in their surroundings, there were flowers – large flowers. It seemed no other creature existed beside those flowers.
Although they didn't discover anything, they continued to chat under the flower. When they weren't paying attention, a flower slowly rose not far away and approached them. After getting close, it suddenly burst into bloom, revealing rows of sharp teeth in the stamen, and then rushed towards them, trying to catch them within its mouth.
"Bang——"
Little Dream used her spirit power to push away that flower. Two people immediately left the flower they were leaningon and arrived in an open space. They watched the dancing flowers.
"If something's abnormal, there's bound to be demons. This place is too quiet. There are indeed demons!" Sima You Yue smirked. "I never expected to encounter man-eating flowers here.
"You didn't fall into the trap!" That flower didn't have a mouth. They weren't sure where the voice came from.
Sima You Yue chuckled, "You deliberately made those sounds to lure us here, and then you want to eat us when we're inattentive and relaxed our guard. It's a pity that it's too quiet here. There's no movement. How dare can we relax our vigilance?"
"Humph, even if you didn't fall into the trap, the results will be the same. It's only a bit more troublesome." After man-eating flower finished, the surrounding flowers moved. Their branches were endless as they attacked them.
With a move of Little Dream's fist, she resolved one. Every flower was crushed by her.
"Humph, a little man-eating flower dares to engage in wild talk!" Little Dream stopped in midair and sneered.
Sima You Yue was not used to seeing Little Dream talked so domineering, especially when the flower was taller than herself. She seemed to have no power at all.
But the man-eating flower knew her strength.
"I never thought there was such a young demon king. A normal man-eating flower won't work on you doesn't mean I'm afraid of you." The man-eating flower not the least forebodingly spoke. The surrounding flowers all started to move. The man-eating flowers within the mountain valley were all one flower!
"It's actually the man-eating flower king." This time even Little Dream's face underwent a change.
The man-eating flower king and man-eating flowers appeared to have similar strength, but man-eating flower king possessed endless lives. It could rapidly regrow branches and bloomed its flowers as long as its main root wasn't destroyed. It was almost equivalent to an immortal's body.
Moreover, each flower had its own strength. Unlike the common man-eating flower, only a few flowers were aggressive.
Although Little Dream's strength was great, she wouldn't be able to bear attack of hundreds or thousands of flowers!
"Little Dream, get down!" Sima You Yue saw the man-eating flower was about to hit Little Dream and shouted.
Little Dream wanted to get down but she blocked in all directions by the man-eating flowers and couldn't move at all.
"Hahaha, even if you're the demon king, you're still going to be eaten by me!" the Man Eating Flower King laughed out loud, opening its mouth wide as to catch her.
"Pfff-ch—-"
A bundle of fire burnt down the flower that was trying to captured Little Dream. It continued to burn the other flowers along the branch. Little Dream took this chance and flew to Sima You Yue's side.
"Ah——ah——"
After the branches of the man-eating flower king caught on fire, they dance in the air, lighting the other flowers nearby on fire.
"Ordinary flames are useless to me, ah – what kind of flame is this?" The man-eating flower King screamed, his voice full of fear.
"Naturally it can burn you to the ground!" Sima You Yue exclaimed.
Hearing of being burned to the ground, the man-eating flower king was afraid because she knew this flame could achieve this!
"Ah, I was wrong. Let me go!" The man-eating flower king begged.
"Let you go? Didn't you say you'll eat us?"
"I was wrong, I was wrong, it hurts. Let me go!"
"Let you go?" Sima You Yue chuckled. "I'll only forgive my own people. As for my enemies, I'll only eliminate them completely!"
Chapter 590: Little Dream's Revenge
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
The man-eating flower king had lived long. It understood Sima You Yue's meaning, but it was unwilling.
"If you want me to admit you as my master, that is not possible!"
Sima You Yue wasn't in a hurry. She controlled the flame, burning slowly. She faintly inquired, "Freedom and life, which one is more important?"
Freedom and life, which one is more important? The man-eating flower king asked himself. Could he let go of his freedom for life; could he really do that?
"No! I won't let go of my freedom and conviction to become someone's contract beast!" the man-eating flower king cried out, wondering whether he was talking to her or to itself.
"I believe you are an extraordinary man-eating flower king with integrity."Sima You Yue reasoned, "But it's no loss for me to not be able to obtain you, so I will respect your decision."
"The flame burned faster, very soon, almost half of the flowers on the hillside will be all burnt up.
"Yue Yue, you have many spirit beasts. Also, brother Crimson Flame's fire is much stronger. This sort of man-eating flower if of no use. You can directly burnt down its main root. We'll go back and eat." Little Dream suggested.
"Alright." Sima You Yue patted Little Dream and answered.
The man-eating flower king heard, since this person has such a powerful flame, then their strength must be exponential. Perhaps, she really didn't care about its life and saw no value in itself. Even talked about going back to eat? What did they mean!
"Yue Yue, I'll go find its master root." Little Dream spoke.
"Go. We have left for quite a while. They must be worried about us. It'll be good to be back earlier."
"Mmmm. I'll go."
When the two talked, they weren't paying attention to the man-eating flower king at all. They didn't notice that it was shivering. Especially when it saw the Little Dream coming towards its main root, it cried out, "No, I don't want freedom. I'm willing to recognize you as my master."
"Really?" Little Dream stopped her steps and doubtfully said, "Didn't you say you're not willing to give up freedom for life?"
"I... I changed my mind, can't I?" the man-eating flower king awkwardly refuted. "Ouch, quick stop burning, stop burning?"
"Are you truly willing to recognize me as your master?" Sima You Yue asked.
"Yes, yes, I'm willing, i'm willing! Quickly stop, it hurts!" the man-eating flower king cried out.
Sima You Yue was smiling inside. With a wave of her hand, the flames were collected. At this moment, only a small portion of the flowers were left.
"Yue Yue, how are you gonna contract it?" Little Dream asked.
"Hmm—— I really don't know." Sima You Yue admitted. "How about we returned and asked Mo Sha? He must know."
"Mm, he's so powerful, certainly knows." Little Dream had an instinctive fear towards Mo Sha, like Halcyon and them to Crimson Flame.
Sima You Yue waved at the man-eating flower king. "Come here. Follow me back."
The man-eating flower king hesitated for a moment and saw that the flame still lingered in her hand. It obediently turned into a blood red flower.
"Little Dream, let's go." Sima You Yue stored away the flame and took the flower branch back.
Seeing them left safely, the two people hiding in midair sighed out of relief and followed them back.
When Sima You Yue returned, these people had already left. The only people left were Mo Sha, Hua Jing and his brother, and Ba Jia Zi.
"You Yue, where did you go? You've been away for a long time. We intended to go out and find you." Ba Jia Zi saw the flower in Sima You Yue's hand. "It's a pretty flower!"
"I just strolled around." Sima You Yue saw she was really worried and said apologetically.
"It's good that you're safe." Ba Jia Zi continued. "We were just talking about going to find you. But your senior brother said you're alright. It seemed he knows you better."
Sima You Yue nodded to her. Afterwards, she walked beside Mo Sha and passed the man-eating flower in front of him. She started, "I caught a naughty little flower, and I want to contract it. How should I do that?"
Mo Sha glanced at the flower in her hand and took it. "It's indeed a little flower. But since it can grow into the man-eating flower king, it's hard to come by. In a moment, I'll domesticate it for you."
"Alright." Sima You Yue smilingly answered.
Since he said it was hard to come by, then that man-eating flower king was hard to come by.
"The man-eating flower king? Is it the man-eating flower king from two valleys ahead?" Hua Xiu exclaimed in surprise.
"Right." Sima You Yue replied. "I encountered it by chance. It saw that I looked beautiful and wanted to follow me."
The Man-eating flower king trembled while in Mo Sha's hand. It shouted angrily inside, shameless, shameless, it was you who threatened me!
Mo Sha seemed to hear its thoughts. His drooping eyes glanced at it and then gorgeously ignore it.
Hua Jing and his brother were speechless as they drew up the corners of their lips. That man-eating flower king had stayed there for quite a long time. They never heard that it would eat anyone who looked beautiful. Looking at the submissive appearance of the man-eating flower king, she surely had fixed it up ruthlessly.
But she had ability. Many people had their eyes on it, but they were either injured severely in defeat or was eaten. Unexpectedly, she was able to subdue it.
"How's your discussion?" Sima You Yue finally recalled and asked them.
"Almost all set. According to our strategy, we can certainly save clan elder and the rest." When Hua Jing reached this point, he glanced in worship of Mo Sha.
During their discussion of their plans, he had just listened to them and responded quickly. The strategy was perfect, much better than the solutions they had come up with by those who were aware of the situation here. While Sima You Yue was not there at that time, she had been unable to witness how he deeply impressed them.
"Then you have nothing else to do? Quickly domesticate the man-eating flower king for me." Sima You Yue eagerly glanced at Mo Sha.
Though Mo Sha liked her to act coquettish with him in private, it was too humiliating in public.
He closed his eyes and held the man-eating flower king at the root-stem for a moment before throwing the flower back to her.
"All done."
Sima You Yue caught the man-eating flower king. Looking at its waning flowers, she asked, "Is that all? So fast?"
"Plant typed devil beasts's spirituality are usually lower, let alone a flower king who became one recently." Mo Sha indifferently said.
Sima You Yue noted that he didn't put much importance on the man-eating flower king, such that she doubted her taste. But she also thought that the world in his eyes was at higher levels, she didn't bother with him. Thereupon, she clasped the man-eating flower king and ran compliantly aside to check on the contract.
Because it was the man-eating flower king and was also domesticated by Mo Sha, during the contracting, Sima You Yue's dark spirit power increase quite a bit.
"Master." As of result of the contract, the man-eating flower king's injuries recovered. He became aware she was a human from the human world. He felt like spitting blood inside, yet he didn't dare do anything to her.
"Since you like flowers a lot, I'll call you Flowey." Sima You Yue hadn't began speaking. Little Dream beside her hands akimbo 1 had already named the man-eating flower king.
