Insanely Pampered Wife: Divine Doctor Fifth Young Miss

Chapter 1081 - 1100

Chapter 1081:- Kong Xiang Yi's Injury

"Young Valley Master, Young Miss." The Kong Valley clansmen formed a circle around her and her older brother Kong Xiang Qi.

"Little Sis, in a moment, I will hold these people back. Take our men and charge out. Don't turn back, do you understand?" Kong Xiang Qi was already hurt and his blood flowed down between Kong Xiang Yi's fingers.

Kong Xiang Yi's blocked Kong Xiang Qi's wound. Although he had taken medicine, the blood refused to stop flowing. She knew that the wound was definitely poisoned.

"Big Brother, what nonsense are you spouting! If I am to leave, then we have to leave together! I will not toss you here alone and run away by myself!" She cried out angrily.

"Little Sis!" Kong Xiang Qi grabbed onto Kong Xiang Yi's hands, "We cannot all perish here. Father and Mother would be devastated! Do you want them to lose both their children at once?!"

"Then I should be the one to stay behind. You go!" Kong Xiang Yi said, "With the state that you're in, even if you wanted to drag them down, you wouldn't be able to for long. Then, they would still be able to catch up to me. Why don't I hold them back for you instead!"

"Why are you so disobedient!" Kong Xiang Qi roared angrily. However, because he was injured, his voice was not that powerful.

"I've never been obedient, it's not like you just found that out!" Kong Xiang Yi looked at Kong Xiang Qi.

Kong Xiang Qi saw her obstinate little face and his heart filled with helplessness. He could sense the current state of his body. His life was draining away. Even if he escaped, he wouldn't be able to survive.

However, when faced with his most beloved sister, this little sister who was disobedient since she was young, how was he supposed to tell this to her?

"Hmph, not a single one of you should even think of slipping away today. Don't even bother to fight over who should stay and who should go!" A black robed man said in a suppressed voice.

"Hmph, you must be one of those who have been chasing and torturing all the powers in this wonderland recently?!" Kong Xiang Yi supported Kong Xiang Qi as she looked at those black robed men, eyes brimming with murder.

"Master, let me defeat them! You guys escape!" Kong Xiang Yi's contracted beast, a beautiful lady stepped forward and came in front of Kong Xiang Yi.

"Aqua!" Kong Xiang Yi looked at her decisive back and her eyes filled with unwillingness.

However, she had to make a decision. If everyone remained here, they would all end up perishing.

"Master, I, Aqua, am glad to have been your contracted beast. I hope that you, Master, will be able to find an even better contract beast who will be able to protect you on my behalf!" Aqua turned around and smiled at Kong Xiang Yi.

"Fifth Elder, take big brother and run!" Kong Xiang Yi handed Kong Xiang Qi over to a middle aged man beside them, "You have to bring him out no matter what!"

"Young Miss!" Fifth Elder was unwilling, "Why don't I..."

"Fifth Elder!" Kong Xiang Yi shouted, "Right now, he only has a chance of surviving if you are the one to bring Big Brother out! Don't forget Big Brother's identity! Hurry, go!"

Fifth Elder was extremely unwilling, but Kong Xiang Yi was right. Kong Xiang Qi was the young master of the Kong Valley. If he were to die, it would have a huge impact on the Kong Valley.

With a grit of his teeth, he took Kong Xiang Qi and found the weakest spot in their encirclement and attacked it.

"Don't let a single one escape!" The black robed male turned around and waved his hand. The black robed men attacked the remaining Kong Valley men.

Those from the Kong Valley were completely unable to hold up under their attacks and many got wounded, with more and more collapsing to the ground.

Kong Xiang Yi brandished her whip, with every whip sending a few men flying. However, even this way, she was unable to overcome the sheer difference in numbers.

Just where did these people hail from that they had such malice towards their Kong valley?!

"Master, careful!" Aqua's voice called out from behind Kong Xiang Yi. Before she could turn around, she heard the sound of a blade going through a body.

"Aqua!" Kong Xiang Yi killed all those in front of her before turning around to support Aqua's collapsed body.

"Master, A-Aqua... can protect you no longer!" Aqua leaned into the crook of Kong Xiang Yi's arm with blood leaking from the front of her chest. It stained Kong Xiang Yi's skirt.

"Aqua, don't speak. Hurry, eat this pill!" Kong Xiang Yi took out a pill and poured water into her mouth. She wanted her to eat it, as tears continued to flow from her eyes nonstop.

"M-Master... You- you have to t-take good care. Remember what I said earlier. Remember Aqua..."

Aqua turned into a small blue sable in her embrace. As she dissipated, Kong Xiang Yi tasted something sweet in her throat and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

She was suffering from the recoil of the contract!

A black robed male launched a sneak attack towards her. However, before he even came close, he felt a sense of danger coming from beside him. A burst of flames appeared as he gave up on the attack and moved to dodge the attack.

"Clang-"

A long pike flew over in the air, passing through where that male initially was. It finally landed in the soil behind Kong Xiang Yi.

Kong Xiang Yi held onto Aqua's dead body as she looked over to where the pike had come from. She happened to see the people that she was longing for.

Ximen Feng saw the fresh blood on her clothes along with the blood leaking from Kong Xiang Yi's mouth. He thought of the scene earlier and filled with heartache and rage. He landed beside her and hugged her, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

Kong Xiang Yi looked at Ximen Feng with tears in her eyes. She swallowed a mouthful of fresh blood before speaking.

"Xiang Yi, what's wrong?" Ximen Feng saw her and was rather flustered.

"Big Sis, Xiang Yi, what's wrong?" Little Seven rushed over and saw the blood on her body and rage started to fill her.

"I'll take revenge for you!" After saying this, her hand turned into a fist as she attacked those black robed men.

Sima You Yue let Flowey and the men from Heartbreak Valley fight. She came beside Ximen Feng and saw Aqua's body, saying, "Her contracted beast must have died, so she's suffering from the contract's recoil. It's a good thing that it wasn't a beast with a life contract, which spared her life!"

"Those people deserve death! Disciples of Heartbreak Valley, heed my orders. Not a single person is to remain!" Ximen Feng's voice was low, showing just how angry he was, and he was unable to contain his state of mind.

"Save my older brother..." Kong Xiang Yi looked pleadingly at Sima You Yue.

"Relax, your big brother is already fine." Sima You Yue looked over to where Kong Xiang Qi was and happened to see Flowey using his flowers to surround him.

"He's been poisoned." Kong Xiang Yi said.

Sima You Yue hesitated before continuing to say, "Let me take a look at his condition."

Flowey, who had received his orders, sent Kong Xiang Qi over. He opened a flower on the ground, using it as a makeshift bed.

Sima You Yue took out a pill and fed it to Kong Xiang Yi. Then she went to check on Kong Xiang Qi's condition.

The few tens of injuries on his body were terrifying. However, they were not as terrifying as the fresh blood that kept pouring.

"Big Bro's injury has been bleeding ever since the start. We can't stop it no matter what we do." Kong Xiang Yi said.

"He has been poisoned." Sima You Yue examined him for a moment and said, "But it's still alright. I happen to have the cure for this poison."

"You have the antidote?"

"When Shi Qian Zhi was still with me, I gathered quite a bit of poison and cures from him." Sima You Yue said.

"You're saying that the poison is Shi Qian Zhi's?" Kong Xiang Yi's eyes narrowed as an endlessly chilling aura emanated.

Chapter 1082:- Shi Qian Zhi Framed Again

Sima You Yue took out the antidote and fed it to Kong Xiang Qi. When she saw the blood flow stem, she stood up and said to Kong Xiang Yi, saying, "The poison belongs to Shi Qian Zhi, but these people do not."

"How do you know that?" Kong Xiang Yi asked.

"This isn't a poison exclusive to him. It's just one that he created." Sima You Yue said, "The Black Dragon Cult won't dare to deal with the various sects so openly right now."

"You're not from his sect, how can you be so sure?"

"Because..." Sima You Yue thought of Sky Splitter Devil Sword and didn't continue, "In any case, I know that this isn't them."

Since Sky Splitter was in the Black Dragon Cult right now, they wouldn't dare cause too much of a ruckus. This was because the demonic nature of the devil sword had yet to recover. If someone were to notice them right now, more people would find out about the existence of sky splitter.

They would never take this risk!

Kong Xiang Yi still believed Sima You Yue's words. Since she said that it wasn't Shi Qian Zhi, it probably wasn't him.

"Hearing that you have so much faith in me is really touching." A portal opened through space as Shi Qian Zhi and Shi Qiu Shuang walked out from the portal. They looked gratefully at her.

"Save it." Sima You Yue rolled her eyes at him, "Qiu Shuang, you've grown quite a bit!"

Shi Qiu Shuang's originally icy demeanor warmed up considerably when she saw Sima You Yue and there was even a trace of a smile hidden in those eyes.

"I began to grow after the poison left me." Shi Qiu Shuang said, "I really never thought that there would be a day that I would be able to grow. I had long since tired of looking like a child!"

"Take it slow." Sima You Yue said, "Most people won't grow anymore at your age. However, your situation is a little more special. Your body has kept its memories of the past, that's why you will slowly grow up back to how it was like in the past."

"Mmm hmm." Shi Qiu Shuang knew that she would grow, so she had never been too worried.

"Is this poison really one that you created?" Kong Xiang Yi looked at Shi Qian Zhi and asked.

"It's true, I did." Shi Qian Zhi admitted to it.

"Are these your men?"

"No." Shi Qian Zhi denied it, "We came here precisely because of this."

"What about it?"

"We realised that some people were using the poison we created to act against the people here in the Immortal Land. That's why we came to investigate." Shi Qian Zhi explained.

Sima You Yue raised her eyebrows, "Did you offend a lot of people in the past? Why is it that whenever someone wants to frame someone, you're always the first one they think of? Are you able to guess who it might be?"

It was the same back in Cloud Sea City and it was the same right now. Those people must definitely have a huge grudge with Shi Qian Zhi, that's why they would want to frame him. Why don't we go look for others?

Shi Qian Zhi shrugged. He wasn't worried at all, saying, "I have quite a few enemies. Let me think. I can tell you a whole bunch of them."

"However there can't be too many of those who understand your poisons and are able to obtain them, right?" Sima You Yue guessed.

"Cough cough, there are quite a few of them too." Shi Qian Zhi said.

"Then doesn't that mean we can't guess who it is?" Kong Xiang Yi asked.

"It's not like we don't have any leads, but we can't be sure either. That's why I can't really tell you." Shi Qian Zhi said, "Even if we told you, you wouldn't know who they are."

"After you figure it out, let Kong Valley know." Kong Xian Yi leaned into Ximen Feng's embrace, closing her eyes wearily.

"Valley Leader, we've already settled those people." Bi Sheng walked over and informed them.

"We'll leave the corpses to you. We have to set up camp somewhere." Sima You Yue said.

Flowey carried Kong Xiang Qi and left, and the remaining disciples followed them and departed this area. Only a few tens of people remained to take care of the Kong Valley's fallen disciples.

After setting up camp, Ximen Feng took Kong Xiang Yi into his own tent and placed her on his bed.

"Feng, Aqua is gone." Kong Xiang Yi only now relaxed and let her tears fall, revealing her weak side only to Ximen Feng.

Ximen Feng stretched a hand forwards and wiped her tears away, saying, "Relax, we will definitely find out who has caused this and take revenge for Aqua's sake."

He knew the relationship Aqua had with Kong Xiang Yi. Now that she was dead, he could feel how troubled she was. However, he was also a little glad. It was a good thing that she was just an average contracted beast, and not one that had formed a life contract with her. Otherwise, he would not have been able to bear the consequences.

Kong Xiang Yi's tears still fell nonstop and his heart ached as he watched. He had no idea what to do, and instinctively kissed the corner of her eyes to wipe her tears away.

"..."

Kong Xiang Yi was so shocked that she momentarily forgot to breathe.

This was the first time that he had kissed her!

"Good girl, don't cry anymore." Ximen Feng's face was a sheet of red, but he could think of no other way to stop her tears.

"Hehe, oh my~" Little Seven's voice carried in from outside the tent and her voice grew increasingly distant, sending the two in the tent into a furious blush.

Outside the tent, Sima You Yue was pinching Little Seven's ears as she led her away from Ximen Feng's tent.

"Ah, Yue Yue, Yue Yue, it hurts!" Little Seven patted Sima You Yue's hands and cried out in pain.

Sima You Yue was pinching Little Seven's ears with another hand around Little Roar's neck. It was only when they were far away from the tent that she released Little Seven and lifted Little Roar in front of her.

"The both of you actually learnt to eavesdrop?! Little Roar, did I not tell you before that Little Seven is pure and that you are not to teach her the wrong things? You actually dared to lead her to do these kinds of things?!"

Little Roar shrunk his neck back and shamelessly said, "Why do you say that I was the one to initiate it and not the other way around?"

"Am I not familiar with your personality? Apart from you, who would do this kind of things?" Sima You Yue stretched a hand forward to poke him in the forehead.

"Well, we didn't intend to eavesdrop at first!" Little Roar's limbs curled in as he looked helpless, "We were just thinking that Xiang Yi's contracted beast died and she was suffering the recoil of the contract and ended up heavily injured, so we wanted to visit her and comfort her and cheer her up a little. Who would have thought that we would end up seeing that kind of scene, right, Little Seven?"

"Mmm hmm, it's true, it's true." Little Seven nodded nonstop, as if that were really the truth.

Sima You Yue casually tossed Little Roar aside and said, "Don't think that I don't know how the both of you think. The next time you take Little Seven and do something like that, I'll count your new and old grudges together!"

Little Roar flipped two rounds in the air before stopping and smiled gleefully, "I won't, I won't. There won't be a next time!"

Phew-

Speaking this way meant that Yue Yue had forgiven them this time. He just knew that she wouldn't believe them.

However, it was still okay. This time, Little Seven did it together with him, so she didn't punish him. Otherwise, based on her usual practice...

Hehe, a new idea birthed itself. In the future, he would always have to bring Little Seven along with him!

"I hope not." Sima You Yue glared at him before she noticed that Shi Qiu Shuang and Shi Qian Zhi were looking at her. They probably had something they wanted to tell her, so she walked towards them after nagging them once more.

Chapter 1083:- The Bewildered Eldest Senior

"Did you find anything?" Sima You Yue said.

Shi Qian Zhi and Shi Qiu Shuang shook their heads, "Those people are extremely clean, they didn't leave anything behind. It seems like they came here ready to die."

"Could they be the suicide soldiers of some power?" Sima You Yue asked.

"Probably not just one." Shi Qian Zhi said, "Although they didn't leave anything behind, we still found something strange. They're not from a single power."

"Then it can only mean that a few powers have colluded together to do this in the Immortal Land." Sima You Yue said, "It's your poison! Don't you have any leads based on that?"

Shi Qian Zhi and Shi Qiu Shuang exchanged glances as they fell silent for a moment before saying, "There are indeed two people that are worthy of suspicion, but it's impossible for it to be them."

"Why?"

"One of them is already dead, and the other is my master." Shi Qian Zhi said, "The dead do not speak, much less be able to set me up. And it's even more impossible for it to be my master."

Sima You Yue furrowed her eyebrows, saying, "Based on what you said, it's impossible. But the truth is that it's happened. I think you'll have to think harder to find other suspicious people."

"That's the only way." Shi Qian Zhi said, "Sigh, because of this, I don't even have the time to find a fortuitous circumstance."

Sima You Yue didn't empathise with him, "Who asked you to do so many bad things! You see, this is called karma! Got it?"

"Look at how happy you are! You just enjoy watching the world burn!" Shi Qian Zhi rolled his eyes.

"I didn't say that." Sima You Yue denied it, but she did indeed think this way.

"Although you didn't say it, the expression on your face says it all. Look at that smirk!" Shi Qian Zhi exposed her, "I don't know how I ended up becoming friends with someone like you!"

"I'm thinking the same thing. If it wasn't because you kept pestering me, would we have become friends?" Sima You Yue said.

"I kept pestering you? How could that be! I'm cool, calm, composed and suave. How could I possibly pester you into becoming my friend!" Shi Qian Zhi began his narcissistic speech.

"Qiu Shuang, do you believe him? You don't, right?" Sima You Yue ignored him and turned her gaze towards Shi Qiu Shuang.

Shi Qiu Shuang smiled but she didn't reply to her question. It was a tacit approval.

"You guys have remained in the inner regions, so did you realise anything different about any powers?" Sima You Yue asked.

"Apart from carrying out our mission, we don't usually pay attention to what others are doing." Shi Qian Zhi said, "If you really want to ask, the others from the sect will be clearer on this."

Alright then, she could tell at a glance that the both of them were those who got others to do the work for them. They wouldn't interfere with others.

"Why would you ask this?" Shi Qiu Shuang asked.

"Quite a bit has happened recently, and they all have to do with the inner region. I can't help but suspect that there's a power messing around somewhere?" Sima You Yue said, "You guys saw what happened in Cloud Sea City the last time. Apart from this, those from the Divine Devil Valley had also been plotted against, almost having other powers take revenge on them. Right now, something like this is happening..."

"Send men to check this out once we're back." Shi Qiu Shuang said, "Don't make too big of a commotion. It's not possible that we can't get a single clue."

"Mmm hmm, you guys are in the inner region, so it would be best for you to check it out." Sima You Yue said, "Oh right, about that..."

"What?"

"How is Eldest Senior Brother?" Sima You Yue asked.

"He's alright. He slapped everyone's faces back at Cloud Sea City. Later on, the Jiang Clan sent men to look for him, wanting to take him back to the clan, but he refused their intentions. He even said that he would kill every single one of the Jiang Clansmen he saw." Shi Qiu Shuang said, "Although they were angry, the Jiang Clansmen were unable to do anything to him. After all, the Jiang Clan still doesn't dare to touch us."

"Then... what about the sky splitter?" Sima You Yue asked, "Does your father still hold onto it?"

The moment she mentioned the sky splitter, Shi Qiu Shuang's expression fell. Her face filled with helplessness as she said, "Father has becoming increasingly muddled these few days. Everyday he holds on to the sky splitter and doesn't let it go. He constantly roars about killing and things like that too."

"Then is he still considered lucid?"

"He still kind of is, I think." Shi Qiu Shuang said, "However, the last time I went to look for him, his eyes were bloodshot and filled with killing intent. It's as if apart from wanting to kill, he has no other thoughts. I think that if this continues on, I'm afraid that he will be controlled by the devil sword."

"Do you blame Eldest Senior Brother?" Sima You Yue asked.

If Jiang Jun Xian didn't bring the devil sword back with him, this would never have happened.

Shi Qiu Shuang shook her head, "Finding the Sky Splitter Devil Sword has always been the mission of the Black Dragon Cult. If I want to blame anyone, I can only blame my father for not being resolute enough and unable to manage the lure of the devil sword."

"I told you before that if it were possible, it would be best for you to toss the devil sword out." Sima You Yue said, "Otherwise, you can seal it away forever. Otherwise, it will bring a huge calamity."

When she thought of this, she particularly wanted to grab Jiang Jun Xian and fight him. If he had not insisted on bringing the sky splitter out, why would they need to worry about what would happen next?

However, she thought about why he would want to do that, which was because he didn't want to take Little Seven back and end up hurting her, Han Miao Shuang and the others.

Sigh, in order to avoid hurting her, he chose to hurt someone else. She didn't know to be happy or mad.

"He came in this time as well." Shi Qiu Shuang said, "However, he didn't go with us. He left on his own."

"Why?" Sima You Yue was rather worried. If he went off on his own, wasn't that asking for death?

"No idea. He said that he wanted to be alone. He's just that stubborn. He won't listen to us." Shi Qian Zhi said.

"I feel like after he proved how blind the Jiang Clan was and Jiang Jun Zhe and his parents died, he became a little lost." Shi Qiu Shuang said.

"Revenge had been his sole motivator. Now that he lost his motivation, he's a little aimless." Shi Qian Zhi said.

Sima You Yue understood this. Not everyone knew what they really wanted. Revenge was what kept them going. Once they completed their revenge, they would lose themselves, not sure of what they wanted to do or where they wanted to go.

But the most surprising thing was that Jian Jun Xian would also go through it. She thought of how lazy he always appeared and felt a little bad for him.

Sigh, this senior brother of hers...

Because the people of the Kong Valley were hurt, they had no choice but to rest and tend to their wounds for the next two days. It was a good thing that Old Ape said that those people were still around and hadn't gone far.

A few days later, Kong Xiang Yi's wounds were pretty much completely healed. Kong Xiang Qi's had also recovered completely. Old Ape said that those people were on the move, and at an extremely fast speed at that. So, Sima You Yue and the others decided to set out again to see whether those people were from the Zong Zheng Clan or the Yin Yang Palace.

Chapter 1084:- Encountering An Obstruction

Who knew what happened to those people, but they kept moving for the entirety of the two days. It was as if they were rushing.

They were not the only ones. Others were rushing towards that direction as well.

"It seems like some form of treasure has appeared over there." The people who had gone to scout for information came back with the news.

"Is that so? Then we should also steal that treasure and obtain a fortuitous encounter!" Sima You Yue grinned evilly.

"Alright!"

The men from Heartbreak Valley were excited. They had been rushing along the entire time and did not encounter any truly useful opportunity.

Now that they heard about the treasure up ahead, it would be weird if they were not excited.

Initially, they had only thought of helping their Valley and Vice Valley heads take revenge. However, everyone's enthusiasm was stoked!

They chased after those people, who stopped moving after two days. It seemed like they had arrived at their destination.

Sima You Yue and the others flew for another two days before arriving at that place. It seemed to be by the seaside.

"More and more people have come recently." When they arrived, they heard those people say.

Sima You Yue and the others still had no idea what was here, but based on the expressions of the people they followed, it was probably quite a quality treasure.

"They're from the Yin Yang Palace." Ximen Feng told Sima You Yue in a low voice when he saw the people from the Yin Yang Palace.

Sima You Yue followed his line of sight and she did indeed see people far away dressed in the uniform of those from the Yin Yang Palace.

"Seems like it is them." Sima You Yue said, "It seems like they're in quite a bad position. Their numbers are low, too. It seems like luck isn't on their side."

"But their opponent isn't that powerful either. Otherwise, they wouldn't have left so many people." Ximen Feng wasn't too satisfied with the outcome.

Sima You Yue looked at the sea area and said, "Relax. Even if they didn't in the past, this time, they won't be able to escape!"

There were so many spirit beasts in the waters. It was enough to devour them all!

"We first have to figure out the reason why they're here." Han Miao Shuang said.

"But look at these people. Do they look like they will tell us what they're doing here?" Su Xiao Xiao said.

"They definitely wouldn't say it if an outsider was there." Sima You Yue said, "But they will definitely discuss it when others aren't around. At that time, my bees will take the stage."

Sima You Yue released quite a few scarlet bees to get them to listen in to the conversation. She very quickly established what everyone's motives were.

When they saw her eyes shine, those by her side knew that something good was definitely happening.

"Yue Yue, hurry and tell me. What good news did you get?!" Little Seven urged.

"My bees told me that everyone is gathered here because there is a small island in the centre of the ocean. There appears to be some sort of historical remnant on that island, maybe even coming from some sort of emperor from the past." Sima You Yue said.

"Really?!"

Everyone cried out. If that were true, there would definitely be many treasures on that island. It might even have some sort of inheritance!

As long as it had a relation to any of the great emperors, it would be nothing ordinary!

"It's no wonder so many people have gathered here but not too many beast clans." Ximen Feng said.

If there really were spirit beast clans, the people from the Yin Yang Palace would not be able to wait for the little island in such a carefree manner.

"Since there's an inheritance on that island, why is everyone waiting on the shore?" Su Xiao Xiao said.

"Because they haven't found a way to reach that place." Sima You Yue said.

"Can't go over?"

"You can't fly across this place. It seems even the bird clans cannot." Sima You Yue said.

"Then they can just traverse the sea." Ni An Yi suggested.

"Do you think that these people don't know that?" Sima You Yue shook her head and said, "The waters appear to be lighter than the average ocean. They wouldn't be able to sustain the boats. Furthermore, when they came here, they didn't know that there would be waters. That's why not many have prepared boats."

"Then are we unable to cross as well?" Little Seven asked.

"Since nobody can cross over, why are they all still waiting there?"

"They say that the waters seem to have changed somewhat. Every five days, a piece of the sea area comes closer. Once those waters have flowed over, the boats will be able to set off normally." Sima You Yue. "It seems like some people have gone over two days ago. Those without boats have used those two days to cultivate urgently."

At this time, the armament masters were of utmost importance.

"We didn't bring any armament masters this time." Bi Sheng said.

Even if they wanted to craft some average boats, they couldn't'!

"Yue Yue, don't' we have a few boats?" Little Seven said, "With those, we won't need to wait for the seas to change, right?"

Sima You Yue's eyes shone. That was right, how could she forget about those!

However, her ecstatic expression quickly fell as she said, "Only Fatty Qu knows how to operate them. Now that he isn't here, we won't know how to use them."

It was the same as not having any of them!

Who knows that Little Seven would pat her chest, rub her chin and say, "I know how to operate it!"

"You know how?"

"Yeah! When Big Bro Fatty was familiarising himself with warships, I was right by his side watching! I thought it was fun, so I got him to teach me." Little Seven said.

At that time, she had learned because it was fun. Who would have thought that it would end up being useful!

"Little Seven, you're too brilliant!" Sima You Yue pinched Little Seven's cheeks excitedly, "If you know how to operate them, we should have no problems going over. Even if we can't do it now, we can do it once the waters have changed!"

"What warships?!" Shi Chen and the others asked.

They had never heard of them possessing a warship before. Even Wu Lingyu didn't know.

"Just that. When we were in the academy, there was once when we were conducting a mission..." Sima You Yue recounted what happened back when she was in the west coast desert and sold to a mine.

"Oh damn, so you guys were the ones behind what happened back then!" Ni An Yi couldn't help but cuss. This was truly too shocking.

"The ore vein that you used to build your power was shifted away from there, wasn't it?" Feng Zhi said confidently.

They were still puzzled back then how she managed to get an ore vein. Thinking about it now, they said that an entire ore vein was missing back then. Didn't that mean that she was the one who had dug it away?!

Furthermore, that something so impossible had actually happened was really bothering them.

"Hehe, since we have a warship, we should leave earlier. Since someone has already gone, if we take any longer, they'll snatch our things!" Little Seven said.

"But if we leave now, how will those from the Yin Yang Palace be?" Han Miao Shuang asked.

"They don't need us to act. The spirit beasts in the sea will take good care of them." Sima You Yue said, "However, we should find a way to get them in the sea."

"We aren't familiar with them on the surface. How are we to get them to go in the sea?"

Sima You Yue thought about it and looked at Kong Xiang Yi and Kong Xiang Qi, saying, "I'll have to trouble you guys."

"Us?" Kong Xiang Yi was rather surprised. However, she didn't ask much, "What do you need us to do?"

Chapter 1085:- The Fish Have Taken The Bait (1)

Sima You Yue went close to Kong Xiang Yi and whispered a few sentences. Kong Xiang Yi nodded and led her Kong Valley Clansmen away.

"Yue Yue, what did you get them to do?" Little Seven asked with curiosity.

"Curious little child, you will know in a minute." Sima You Yue pinched Little Seven's cheeks and said.

Little Seven patted Sima You Yue's hands and said with pursed lips, "Fine, don't tell me then."

She wasn't a curious little child!

Sima You Yue smiled as she turned her gaze back to the waters.

Ruins, eh?

On the other side, Kong Xian Yi and Kong Xiang Qi had led their men to the banks. The men from the Yin Yang Palace were not far away.

"Big Brother, why are there so many people here?" Kong Xiang Yi asked.

Kong Xiang Qi furrowed his eyebrows, saying, "I don't know. Let's find someone and ask." Kong Xiang Qi said.

"These guys have probably discovered some sort of treasure. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many of them here," Kong Xiang Yi said, "Even if you ask them, they probably won't tell you."

"That's true." Kong Xiang Qi sighed.

If there really was treasure, everyone would want to hide it. There was no way they would tell them.

"Eh? Isn't that an elder from the Yin Yang Palace? Big Brother, let's go ask them." Kong Xiang Yi acted as if she just saw the people from the Yin Yang Palace.

The people from the Yin Yang Palace had already noticed them when they were speaking, they were merely paying them no attention. Now that they had come over, based on their previous relationship, they couldn't continue to ignore them.

"Elder Wu, what are you doing here?" Kong Xiang Qi walked over and greeted Elder Wu.

"So it's Xiang Yi and Xiang Qi. What are you guys doing here?" Elder Wu said with a smile that was not quite a smile, "I saw that there were still quite a few of you when you first entered, why are there only a few of you now?"

When he mentioned this, Kong Xiang Yi couldn't control the pain and rage on her expression as she said, "There were some people who chased us down to try and kill us earlier. If it were not because we ran quickly, we would already have lost our lives. When we escaped, we saw people rushing over here. That's why we rushed over as well. Elder Wu, you arrived earlier than we did. Do you know what's going on?"

What she said was true, and her expressions were genuine as well. Hence, Elder Wu naturally believed it.

"Oh that, actually, it's nothing much. There's a little treasure up ahead that's behind blocked by the waters." Elder Wu glossed over it.

"There's treasure?" Kong Xiang Yi's eyes shone with glee, "Since it's being separated by water, why don't you just fly over it!"

As she said it, she even acted restless.

"If only it were that simple, then everyone wouldn't need to wait here." Another Elder of the Yin Yang palace said in a weird manner.

"What, you can't fly over?" Kong Xiang Yi asked.

"We can't. We can't manipulate the air here to fly. Even our flying beasts can't fly over. The only way is to cross the waters." Elder Wu said.

"Then just cross them! You just need a boat, right?"

"You can't use a boat either." Elder Wu glanced at the few little boats on the shore and said, "The waters are rather light, so it can't support the average boat. Boats like these will just sink."

"Huh? Then that means we can't head over there?!" Kong Xiang Yi cried out, looking at the waters with regret.

"That's right. Everyone is thinking of a way to see if they can head over. It's just that my Yin Yang Palace has yet to come up with any suitable ideas. Xiang Yi, your Kong Valley has quite a few armament masters. Could you refine a special boat?"

This was the real reason that Elder Wu had entertained them!

Kong Xiang Yi sighed, saying, "Our armament masters have already been killed. We only have two left, but they aren't ranked that high. If you want them to craft an ordinary boat, they wouldn't be able to do it without ten days to half a month's worth of time."

"Such a long time!" Elder Wu furrowed his eyebrows. He had really told them this information for nothing!

If they had to wait that long, they might as well wait for the three days it would take the waters to change.

Kong Xiang Yi naturally knew that he had those intentions, but she didn't reveal it in her expression. She merely said regretfully, "That's right. However, it's a good thing that we still have two armament masters. We just don't know how long it will take for them to create a specialised boat. Elder Wu, you told us such an important bit of information If we are able to cross, we will definitely take you with us."

"Hmph!" The elder from before snorted icily as he flung his sleeves and went off in a different direction.

Elder Wu smiled, "In that case, we'll have to trouble you!"

"Hey, you guys, look! There's a boat!" Someone suddenly cried out and everyone turned over to see a huge boat appear on the sea.

"Whose boat is that? It can actually float on the waters?!"

"It's such a huge boat. There are many who can fit on it!"

"I'm rather curious whose it belongs to. Could we hitch a ride?"

"Look at the people on the boat. Aren't they from Heartbreak Valley?"

"That's right, the one in the mask seems to be Heartbreak Valley's Valley Master!"

After Ximen Feng got on the boat, the rest of the disciples from Heartbreak Valley followed him up. The group sat on the deck. They watched the people below, looking awesome.

"It really is Heartbreak Valley!'

"How did those from Heartbreak Valley get this kind of warship? Wouldn't you need to spend a fortune to build it?"

"Don't just see Heartbreak Valley as a newly established power. This power is simply far beyond our reach."

"You tell me, if we were to ask them to give us a ride, would they agree?"

"You just have to look at them to know that they wouldn't."

Each and every one from Blood Fiend City looked menacing and evil. Their malicious aura leaked from every inch of them, causing those who were more cautious to take a step back.

On this side, those from the Yin Yang Palace and Kong Valley had seen it as well. Kong Xiang Yi saw Sima You Yue, who was slowly climbing up the boat and cried out, "Hey, isn't that You Yue?!"

"Little Sis, do you know him?" Kong Xiang Qi asked.

"I do! He and I are rather familiar." Kong Xiang Yi said, "We did some things together, so we could be considered as friends."

"Then ask him to take us with him. Will he agree?" Kong Xiang Qi asked joyfully.

"He definitely will." Kong Xiang Yi said excitedly, "You Yue is really nice and warm. Based on our relationship, it wouldn't be a problem for us to bring all our Kong Valley with us! Big Bro, let me call out to stop them. Otherwise, their ship will depart! You Yue, You Yue!"

After speaking, she ran off ahead towards Sima You Yue's boat.

Kong Xiang Qi wanted to run after her, but Elder Wu grabbed onto his arm.

"Xiang Qi, you initially said that you would take us with you if you were able to craft a boat. Now that things are this way, look, could you speak with those from the Heartbreak Valley as well to see if they'll take us along?"

"Take you along?" Kong Xiang Qi appeared to be at a loss, "I don't know Sima You Yue myself. Look, it's my younger sister who knows him. Now that my young sister has gone over, I don't know whether or not you will be able to come along. Why don't we do this? You can come with us, and we'll ask if that would be possible?"

Chapter 1086:- The Fish Have Taken The Bait (2)

Sima You Yue had just reached the top of the boat when she heard the shouts from below.

"You Yue! You Yue!"

She turned around and saw Kong Xiang Yi running over.

"Xiang Yi? What are you doing here?" Sima You Yue acted surprised as she smiled towards Kong Xiang Yi.

She just arrived in front of the group, and since nobody had seen them together, it didn't rouse anyone's suspicion now that they both of them had met.

"We just arrived as well." Kong Xiang Yi said, "You Yue, are you going to cross the waters?"

"Yes I am." Sima You Yue didn't hide it.

"Could you take us with you?"

Sima You Yue hesitated for a moment before nodding, "You saved my life the last time. It's a given that I'll take you across."

Kong Xiang Yi smiled, saying, "Then I'll have to thank you!"

"Xiang Yi." Elder Wu and Kong Xiang Qi came over and looked at her. Their meaning was clear.

Kong Xiang Yi was a smart person as well. She knew what he meant immediately.

"That..." She was in a difficult position as she looked at Sima You Yue, "You Yue, will you be able to take the people from Yin Yang Palace across as well?"

Sima You Yue raised her brows, "Are you guys close?"

"I already promised Elder Wu earlier that I would take him with me if I were able to cross over. That... can you?"

"No way!" Ximen Feng walked over and rejected it immediately.

"Valley Master." Sima You Yue looked at Ximen Feng as if he were her senior.

"You Yue, we already have many people with us. We'll take Kong Valley with us because they have saved your life once before. We have no relationship with the Yin Yang Palace!" Ximen Feng said.

"But I once promised Xiang Yi that I would agree to her request. Anything she asked." Sima You Yue acted as if she were completely at a loss and didn't want to go back on her words.

"You Yue..."

"Valley Master, you won't make me into someone who can't keep his word, right?"

When Sima You Yue said this, Ximen Feng couldn't say anything more.

"That's right, that's right! You Yue promised me!" Kong Xian Yi looked pointedly at Elder Wu.

Elder Wu immediately came to his senses and cupped his fists, "This lowly one is the elder of Yin Yang Palace. If you can take us with you, we would be eternally grateful."

"Then do you have anything that you can offer us?" Little Seven opened her mouth to say.

"..." Elder Wu didn't think that they would ask him such a question under everyone's gaze. Was this not daylight robbery?!

However, he saw Ximen Feng's apathetic gaze and could only keep his temper in check as he said with a smile, "If you can take us with you, we will give you twenty percent of the treasure."

"Forty percent." Ximen Feng said.

Elder Wu pursed his lips, saying, "Thirty percent. This is the highest we will go!"

Ximen Feng thought it over for a bit, "You guys can only stay on the deck."

After speaking, he turned around and left the deck.

Sima You Yue saw that he had no further objections as she waved to Kong Xiang Yi, saying, "Xiang Yi, come on up!"

"Elder Wu, let's go!"

Kong Xiang Yi happily ran up and the people from Kong Valley and Yin Yang Palace followed up as well. The people who were watching from the side were beyond themselves with jealousy.

If they had a good relationship with Sima You Yue, they would be able to get a seat there as well.

The way they saw it, Sima You Yue was an idiot. How could they take someone else along at a time like this?! Who else besides an idiot would do something like this?

At the same time, they understood something else. Sima You Yue had a high position in Heartbreak Valley. Even the Valley Master gave her preferential treatment.

Once Kong Valley and Yin Yan Palace members had gone up the boat, Sima You Yue instructed them to set off. Little Seven piloted the ship in a carefree way.

The boat slowly left the shore and headed towards the island. Everyone appeared smaller until they finally disappeared completely. Those who were watching from shore were incredibly envious.

"Why are you still zoning out?! You should be constructing the boats quickly!"

"This seawater changes every five days, and two days have already gone by. They're only two days quicker than we are. That doesn't mean they'll get the treasure!" Some people consoled themselves.

"That's right. They won't necessarily get the treasure just because they arrived first." Someone agreed, "It's not like this treasure is first-come first-served. Only the predestined ones will get it!"

"You guys are just complaining that the grapes are sour because you can't have any. Once they obtain the treasure, we'll see if you guys can still sing the same tune!"

"Hmph, so what if they can get it?! You don't know whose hands it will finally land up in!"

Alright, those who said these words were definitely planning to steal it!

"You dare steal from Heartbreak Valley?" Someone sneered, "Don't forget their identity. Are you not afraid that the entire bird clan will come after you for revenge?"

"There are so many people from Blood Fiend City. Are you able to defeat them? Don't steal from them today only to get your clan exterminated tomorrow!"

"The Violet Water Dragon Clan is the leader of the Ninth Star Ocean. Do you dare to steal from their prince?"

"Eh..." The one who spoke those words earlier started to break out in sweat. It was as if he was terrified by what they said.

"I was just saying! I wouldn't really dare to steal from them! But the wonderland is huge and many people have entered. They wouldn't all be afraid of them, right?"

At the very least, those from the ghost clan and devil clan wouldn't be afraid!

"Who knows! Don't forget who his master is. One is Xu Jin, another is Old Man Devil and another is Feng Zhi Xing. Every single one of them is an influential figure in the inner regions!"

"Old Man Devil and Xu Jin have disappeared for many years. Who knows where they've gone! As for that Feng Zhi Xing, he's someone from the inner regions and is too far away to be of any threat!"

"Hehe, you can go ahead and try if you're not afraid."

"Eh, I'm not that gutsy! I was talking about others!"

"Sigh, instead of letting your mind wander, you might as well complete the construction of your boat!"

"Sigh, you're right."

"Why are you daydreaming about this? Hurry and fix the boat!"

"Yes, Young Sect Master!"

...

Those from the Yin Yang Palace and Kong Valley were on the deck. The disciples from Heartbreak Valley were standing on the deck as well. They folded their arms, glaring at them.

"Xiang Yi, you guys can find anywhere to take a seat. I'm going down to take a look." Sima You Yue smiled at Kong Xiang Yi.

"Do you want to go to the cabin? Can I come with you?" Kong Xiang Yi asked excitedly.

This was the first time that she had seen such a warship. She had only seen them while flying in the sky before, and was incredibly curious back then.

Sima You Yue hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright, but don't touch anything. If anything breaks, we might have to remain on the waters."

"Relax!" Kong Xiang Yi patted her chest as she promised.

"Come with me, then."

The others watched as Kong Xiang Yi followed Sima You Yue down, incredibly jealous.

They were curious as well and wanted to go down to take a look too!

It was a pity that they didn't have a good relationship with her and could ask her to take them too.

As Sima You Yue and Kong Xiang Yi went downstairs, Little Seven sat on the chair with both legs on the dash, leisurely biting on a radish.

Chapter 1087:- Little Dream Recovers Her Memories (1)

After going downstairs, Kong Xiang Yi had no need to act as if she didn't know everyone. She saw Little Seven's lazy attitude, she smiled, "Look at how casual our Little Seven is."

"Yue Yue, I just realised that the cultivating pills you gave me are all gone. That's why all I have to munch on is a radish!" Little Seven sat up and gave Sima You Yue some herbs.

Sima You Yue took the herbs and set up a fire. She directly set the flame to its maximum before slowly refining those ingredients into pills.

"Hehe, with your refining methods, it's no wonder you took first place!" Kong Xiang Yi chuckled.

Sima You Yue gave Little Seven the pills that she had finished refining. She said, "You guys keep watch here. I'm going in to check on Little Dream."

"Has Little Dream not woken up yet?" Little Seven asked.

"Not yet. Little Spirit said earlier on that Little Dream was a little unstable. I'm going in to check."

After speaking, she entered the Spirit Pagoda with a flash.

Kong Xiang Yi dashed to Little Seven's side and looked at the buttons inquisitively.

"Little Seven, you're just chilling now, so why don't you teach me how to operate this?" She beamed at Little Seven.

"Alright alright!" Little Seven had yet to reply when Little Roar, who was by the side, replied on her behalf.

Little Seven knew that Little Roar always had strange ideas. Since he had agreed so quickly, he must have some kind of idea. As such, she nodded quickly and agreed, "Okay!"

"Really? Haha, thank you, Little Seven!" Kong Xiang Yi, who was beyond herself with excitement, had no idea that she had fallen into the trap of these two brats.

Inside the Spirit Pagoda, Sima You Yue had gone in to see Little Seven surrounded by a group of spirit beasts.

"How is Little Dream?"

"Still the same. She hasn't awoken since." Thousand Resonance said.

Sima You Yue came to the bedside where Little Seven was curled up on the ground. She couldn't stop shivering and her eyes filled with tears that dripped down the sides of her face. Her pale face was scrunched up and on her face was both fear and terror that had already seeped to her very core and filled her with bitterness.

"No matter who gets close to her, her reaction is always really big. She keeps punching and kicking us." Ya Guang said with heartache.

As Sima You Yue's spirit beasts, they had never seen anyone like this before. Their hearts ached for her, but they were powerless to do anything about it.

Sima You Yue walked over. Stretching out her hands, she hugged Little Dream tightly. Little Dream wanted to hit her, but was, instead, tightly bound in a hug.

"Little Dream, it's me. Don't be afraid. I'll be here with you!" Sima You Yue patted Little Dream on her back lightly and comforted her.

It could be because of their contractual link, but Little Dream felt a lot better in her arms and did not try to attack her. She even subconsciously hugged her back, with soft whimpers escaping from her lips.

Sima You Yue could sense the pain in her heart and her eyes turned red. That experience triggered her memories of the time that she had also recovered her memories. At that time, she was swallowed by grief as well.

"Little Dream, don't be afraid. Those are all memories of the past. You are safe now. I will always be here with you." She comforted her as she patted her back.

"Yue Yue, didn't they seal Little Dream's memories away? How could it change in just a moment?" Ya Guang asked.

"The seal on Little Dream's memories were not that stable to begin with. After all these years passed, what was inside her had been constantly eroding away at the seal. It was precisely because of this that I was able to see her memories back when I had formed a contract with her." Sima You Yue said with heartache, "Adding on to that, the trigger of those people from the devil clan, the thing in her body acted up and immediately broke the seal."

"Poor Little Dream." Ling Long wasn't crying, but her heart ached for her.

"Yue Yue, do you know what that thing inside of her is?" Thousand Resonance asked.

The reason why Little Dream was suffering right now was because of that thing inside of her. If not for it, she wouldn't be in her current state.

Sima You Yue shook her head, "Within Little Dreams memories, nobody has ever mentioned what this item is. However, they know that once this item is obtained, it will boost one's cultivation speed. If it is able to piece into the heart, it will allow one to become immortal."

"Like Little Dream?"

"Mm."

Little Dream had already calmed down inside Sima You Yue's embrace. However, her eyebrows were still furrowed tightly and her pale expression showed that she had not yet fully recovered.

Sima You Yue wrapped Little Dream in her embrace. If it were not for her immortal body, she would not have had to endure so much hardship.

There were times where living wasn't as great as one would imagine it. There were many times when living was more tortuous than to die.

"Once Little Dream wakes up, I wonder how she will handle the recollection of her memories."

Back when Sima You Yue had just recovered her memories, the way she crumbled and fell apart was still a traumatic incident for them.

Little Dream's circumstances were so similar to Sima You Yue's. It was because they had caused the extermination of the entire clan. They couldn't imagine how their pure and naive Little Dream would change once she knew about what happened.

"Sigh..."

"Sss... Don't be afraid..." Little Golden had woken up sometime earlier and crawled along Sima You Yue's shoulder. He spoke in stuttered sentences.

"Little Golden, you're awake?" Sima You Yue was a little happy as she looked at her little golden snake.

"Woken... up... Little Dream..." Little Golden spoke slowly, like a young child who was just learning how to speak.

"Little Dream is physically fine." Sima You Yue said, "But the seal in her body has been released, so she's not doing well."

"Pro...tect... her..." Little Golden hissed slowly.

"Are you saying that you want to protect Little Dream?" Sima You Yue asked.

Little Golden nodded, "Yue... Yue... Little... Dream... Protect..."

"Little Golden is really a good boy." Sima You Yue patted Little Golden on the head and said gratefully.

Knowing that he would protect them, all the quality items that she had fed him were not in vain.

"Little Golden, does that mean you don't want to protect us?" Little Roc saw the way Little Golden was acting and wanted to tease him.

"Yue... Yue..."

He would protect Yue Yue, and Yue Yue would protect them. Is that what he meant?

"Let me die! Let me die!" Little Dream cried out suddenly and started to struggle incessantly against Sima You Yue's hold. Suddenly, she tried to use her hand to stab herself in the chest.

"Little Dream! Little Dream! Wake up!" Sima You Yue grabbed onto Little Dream's hand, not allowing her to harm herself.

"Let me die! Let me die with them!" Sima You Yue's words were ineffective on Little Dream. She was still crying out and struggling.

"Little Dream!" Sima You Yue forcefully stopped her from hurting herself, but was injured instead.

"Little Dream, you've hurt Yue Yue!" Ya Guang and the others cried out.

This cry was useful as Little Dream immediately calmed down.

"Sob..."

Fresh blood leaked down the corner of Sima You Yue's mouth and happened to drip on Little Dream's forehead.

It could be because she smelt the stench of blood, but her tightly shut eyes opened slowly.

Seeing the fresh blood leaking at the corner of her mouth, she recalled the memories in her mind and Little Dream's tears started to fall again.

"Yue Yue, I'm sorry..."

.
.
.
Chapter 1088:- Little Dream Recovers Her Memories (2)

Little Dream muttered a word of apology, bringing tears to everyone's eyes.

Sima You Yue smiled, "I'm alright."

"Yue Yue, I..." Little Dream couldn't speak, she just grabbed onto Sima You Yue and cried. Her cries started off as tiny whimpers, but ended up in heavy sobs. She cried so hard that she almost couldn't breathe.

Sima You Yue understood how she felt. At that time, she herself had almost fallen apart. It was bound to be worse for her, who was so pure and simple.

She understood it. Right now, there was nothing she could say to make it better. Only Little Dream could pull herself together. What she could do now was to accompany her in silence and let her know that no matter when, she would always be by her side.

After crying for a long time, Little Dream eventually stopped. She nestled inside Sima You Yue's embrace and said in a dead voice, "Yue Yue, I saw it. I watched how they exterminated my entire clan. I watched them fall by my side one by one. They cut my stomach open and continued to dig through it. It hurt.. It hurt... I wanted to die. I wanted to be with my Mother and Father, but I couldn't die! No matter what they did to me, no matter how they broke my body, I couldn't die! I hate them ! Yue Yue, I'm filled with hatred! I hate them, but I hate myself even more. If it weren't for me, my clansmen would still be living happily. I was the cause of it all..."

Sima You Yue cried with Little Dream. Her tears dripped onto Little Dream's face and their tears flowed as one.

"I understand, Little Dream. I understand your feelings. You're hurting. You're filled with hatred. Just cry if you want to cry. If you want to take revenge, we'll be here with you. Who cares if we have to turn the devil realm upside down? We'll be there with you!"

"Yue Yue..." Little Dream bawled, "Why, why me?! Why!"

Why did that thing have to grow in her? Why did it have to bring her so much harm?

Little Dream let out a long breath before stabbing a hand straight through her heart. Her entire hand sank deep into her chest.

"Little Dream! What are you doing?!" Sima You Yue didn't expect her to do this, and was too late to stop her.

Little Dream pulled her hand out from inside her body and fresh blood poured from her wound!

Little Dream lowered her head and watched as the blood gushed out. Her heart had been stabbed and she was losing blood like crazy but she still didn't lose her life.

"Yue Yue, look. I can't die! I can't die! Ah..." Little Dream looked at her blood on her hands and couldn't take the pressure anymore as she started to scream.

Sima You Yue watched the way Little Dream was acting and kind of understood how the others must have felt watching her back when she had fallen apart. She hugged Little Dream tightly and pressed her forehead on hers, saying, "Little Dream, this isn't your fault. Your clan members do not blame you either. Even as they were going to die, they wanted to protect you. No matter what happened outside, they didn't want you to know because they wanted to protect you who were so cute to them. Did you forget what your mother said to you before she left? She asked for you to live well."

Little Dream thought of the last words that her mother had said to her. She told her to live well and to escape to live a good life.

However, she didn't escape. She was caught and tortured for so many years. She was finally sealed away and suppressed.

If her mother knew that, how sad would she have been?

She closed her eyes, but her tears wouldn't stop flowing

When she opened her eyes again, her eyes that always looked so pure and innocent had now changed. They were now dripped with bitterness and hatred.

"Little Dream, no matter what you want to do, we will be here with you." Little Roc said emotionally from the side.

"That's right that's right! No matter what you want to do, we will be here with you!" Ya Guang said.

When they saw how their pure and innocent Little Dream had changed, when they saw her hatred and pain, their eyes were wet.

If it were possible, they hoped that she could return to her cheerful state, not like how she was now.

Little Dream expressed her thanks but she felt like she was suffocating. She couldn't say a word.

"Little... Golden... Little... Dream..." Little Golden slithered down and looped around Little Dream's neck. He used his head to stroke her gently.

He was telling her that he would be by her side.

Little Roar, who was happily playing on the outside, suddenly burst into tears. It gave Little Seven and Kong Xiang Yi a shock.

"Little Roar, what's going on? We were just messing with you!" Kong Xiang Yi was a little bewildered.

"Little Dream... sob sob... Little Dream... Yue Yue, I want to go in!" Little Roar cried.

Sima You Yue heard Little Roar's plea, so she brought him in.

When Little Roar saw Little Dream was, he burst into sobs and pounced on Little Dream. He didn't care that her blood was tainting his favourite white fur a dark red.

"Sob sob, Little Dream, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been playing around outside. I should have been with you! Sob sob..."

The moment Little Roar entered, he caused everyone to start crying. The way he burst into tears was even more dramatic than Little Dream herself.

Little Dream released her hold on Sima You Yue's hand and touched Little Roar. She saw that the fur below his eyes were already a sheet of red and that his eyes were filled with remorse, so her tears flowed even more.

"Little Dream, don't cry. I'll accompany you to beat those baddies up!" Little Roar climbed up and rested on Little Dream's neck, sobbing spasmodically.

Sima You Yue was bewildered by Little Roar's reaction. Did something happen that she didn't know?

After a long while passed, Little Dream finally reacted, saying, "Thank you all, thank you for being with me."

"What's the thanks for? We're all a family!" Sima You Yue said, "You should stay here for now to heal up. Once your wounds are healed, we will look for those people from the Devil Clan to collect our debt. Since Luo Li and the others have come in, there are definitely others from the Devil Clan who have as well. There were many powers who kidnapped you back then. Many of them must have come in this time!"

"Mm." Little Dream nodded.

Sima You Yue grabbed onto Little Dream's hands. The top of which were still stained with her black blood.

"Don't do this kind of thing anymore. You're here to kill your enemies, not to harm yourself. Understand?"

"I got it." Little Dream saw that Sima You Yue had some black and red bloodstains on her and said apologetically, "Sorry, Yue Yue. I hurt you too."

"It's fine as long as you're okay." Sima You Yue used another hand to pat Little Dream's head as she spoke.

"I will be well as I exact my revenge!" Little Dream said.

"It's good to think that way." Sima You Yue said, "Call me again later, I'm going out. Heal up well, hurry up and recover."

"With the seal being released, my strength seems to have grown quite a bit. Wait till I've grown accustomed to it, then I'll come out." Little Dream said.

"Alright, we will wait for you." Sima You Yue left a light peck on her forehead before changing her clothes and leaving.

The moment she left, Little Seven and Kong Xiang Yi could smell the light smell of blood from her.

Chapter 1089:- Using Food As Bait (1)

"You Yue, what happened?" Kong Xiang Yi asked because she was worried.

Little Roar's behaviour had given them quite a scare. They had never seen him act like that before.

"Yue Yue, did something happen to Little Dream? Why do you reek of blood?" Little Seven asked.

"Nothing much." Sima You Yue didn't want others to know how Little Dream was currently like so she changed the topic and asked, "You guys called for me just now. Is something up?"

"Oh, it's like this. Old Bi came down for a while and said that some people asked to come into this room earlier on but was rejected." Little Seven said.

"If they were rejected then just leave it." Sima You Yue didn't find anything off about it. The men from the Yin Yang Palace wouldn't be living for long anyway, now that they had left the shore, even if they killed them, others would never see it.

As for whether or not they would guess it later on, that wasn't something she would bother about. Without concrete evidence, even the Yin Yang Palace wouldn't dare to do anything to Heartbreak Valley.

"Old Bi's meaning was that, since we have already entered the waters, is this the time to act." Kong Xiang Yi explained, "They have the scent that attracts spirit beasts. If we enter the deep waters, will they attract the spirit beasts and end up implicating us?"

"That's true." Sima You Yue said, "However, if we act and their corpses are found with us, others will definitely suspect us."

"Then what do we do?" Little Seven asked.

Sima You Yue thought for a moment and said, "First think of a way to lock them up then toss them out once we reach the shore."

"Then just use poison to deal with them." Little Seven said, "Anyway, you have so many poisons, you can get rid of them so easily."

"They're all cultivators. They wouldn't fall to poisons that easily." Kong Xiang Yi said.

"Then we'll have to think of an idea." Sima You Yue said.

"We do have an idea, we just don't know if it'll work or not." Little Seven said lightly.

"What idea?"

"Hehe. the idea is..." Little Seven smiled sinisterly as she explained her idea.

When night came, Kong Xiang Yi finally returned to the deck with Sima You Yue. Kong Xiang Qi saw Kong Xiang Yi return and asked, "Why did you guys take so long?"

"I saw that Little Seven was having so much fun so I got her to teach me. Who knew that it would have become so late." Kong Xiang Yi said with a smile.

"She taught you?"

"She did!" Kong Xiang Yi nodded, "I already told you that we have a good relationship."

"Even if your relationship isn't bad, you can't cause trouble for others! If you made her mad, what would we do if she tossed us overboard?" After speaking, Kong Xiang Qi even looked at the men from Heartbreak Valley. As if saying that they would toss them off if they got mad.

"Big Bro, you can relax. You Yue wouldn't do that. Right, You Yue?" Kong Xiang Yi asked.

Sima You Yue smiled at Kong Xiang Yi, "Kong Xiang Yi is my friend. I wouldn't toss her down."

"Look, I said that he wouldn't!" Kong Xiang Yi said.

"We still can't ignore the possibility." Kong Xiang Qi nagged.

"I got it." Kong Xiang Yi pouted at Kong Xiang Qi. This guy was nagging her as if she were a child. "Oh right, You Yue, you told me before that you would cook good food for me once we met. Do your words still count?"

"When have I ever backed out on my word?" Sima You Yue asked.

"Then could we do it now?"

"Little Sis!" Kong Xiang Qi glared at Kong Xiang Yi.

"Young Valley Master, don't get mad. This is something I once promised Xiang Yi." Sima You Yue said, "Since we're already acquainted, we can take the opportunity to drink some wine and eat together. We can take it as a celebration. Elder Wu, why don't you join us as well?"

Elder Wu and the others had been listening in from the side the whole time. Seeing how close Sima You Yue was with the Kong Valley Clansmen to the point that she was going to prepare food for them, he said with a smile, "Since Vice Valley Master is so warm, this lowly one will show my respects and accept your invitation."

"You Yue, I want to have roasted meat." Kong Xiang Yi said.

"No problem."

"Why don't we eat on the deck. In any case, we're just at the horizon and the night sky doesn't look bad." Kong Xiang Yi suggested.

Sima You Yue thought it over before nodding, "That's possible. I'll go and prepare a few things."

She entered the cabin and returned quickly. With a wave of her hand, a huge table appeared on the deck. With another wave, a pile of ingredients that had been properly prepared appeared on the table. There were even a few basins of ladles.

The moment Han Miao Shuang smelled the ingredients, she came out from her room. She saw all the things that Sima You Yue prepared and said, "Haha, Junior Brother, are you going to cook? Why didn't you call me?!"

Sima You Yue looked straight at her, saying, "Do you even need an invitation? Your nose is even more sensitive than spirit beasts'."

"Cough cough, you don't have to say it like that, alright?!" Han Miao Shuang didn't admit it.

"Am I wrong?" Sima You Yue began to cook, roast the meat, fry the vegetables, prepare the soup and cook the rice and so on.

If it were not because her mental energy far superseded the others, there was no way she would have been able to multitask to such an extent.

Kong Xiang Yi took out a table in preparation for their meal. She and Han Miao Shuang directly sat at the table, watching Sima You Yue prepare food for them.

Very quickly, the first dish of roasted meat was done. Sima you Yue directly used his spirit energy to distribute the plates onto the table.

"Big Brother, Elder Wu, hurry up and come eat! You Yue's cooking is really delicious!" Kong Xiang Yi waved towards them.

Kong Xiang Qi, Elder Wu and two other elders sat down as well. Initially, it was only done to worm their way into becoming friends, but since they smelt the fragrance of the roasted meat, they really felt ravenous.

"I'll tuck in, then!" Elder Wu picked up a piece of roasted pork and couldn't wait to take a bite out of it.

Kong Xiang Qi picked up a slice and ate it. It was so delicious that he almost swallowed her own tongue.

It was only now that he knew. Kong Xiang Yi didn't get Sima You Yue to cook because she wanted to bait those people. She truly wanted to eat!

"How is it?" Kong Xiang Yi looked at him, as if she were waiting to be praised and as if she had been the one to cook the dishes.

"This is the best roasted meat I've ever eaten!" Elder Wu praised.

In a moment, they had finished eating a batch. Before they placed the chopsticks in the left hand down, their right hand already picked up another batch and continued eating.

Those from the Yin Yang Palace had never seen their elder disregard their image in such a way to eat before and imagined how delicious the roasted meat was.

As such, even though they could only smell it, they were already drooling nonstop.

Sima You Yue served up another freshly cooked batch of food, which Elder Wu recognised at a glance.

"Isn't this the stir-fried lion head dish served in Memory Restaurant? This is their exclusive dish. Vice Valley Master, how did you learn this?"

"I was the one who taught the chefs. Of course I know it." Sima You Yue said.

"You're saying that Memory Restaurant also belongs to Heartbreak Valley?"

Sima You Yue smiled without answering, which was a tacit agreement.

"Then you should have the fruit wine of Memory Restaurant as well?" Elder Wu's eyes shone as he asked.

Chapter 1090:- Using Food As Bait (2)

"That's right, You Yue, how could there be meat without wine!" Kong Xiang Yi said, "I've already finished drinking the fruit wine you gave me back then in a few days!"

"Fruit wine? Elder Wu, do you want to drink that?"

After hearing what Kong Xiang Yi said, it affirmed his thoughts even more. Sima You Yue must have a lot of fruit wine!

"I went to Memory Restaurant quite a few times and was captivated by the delicacies and delicious wine. It was a pity that they don't allow you to order those items as take-out. I didn't manage to drink the fruit wine in the end." Elder Wu lamented.

"Exactly!" Kong Xiang Yi added on, "You Yue, no offense, but your Memory Restaurant is too stingy. Each time I go there to eat, there's a limit on the wine! Each person is only allowed a limited quantity of wine. Once you're done, that's the end. Because of that, I have never drunk my fill."

"You already told me that the last time, so didn't I give you a few jars to enjoy?" Sima You Yue said.

"But it wasn't enough!" Kong Xiang Yi retorted, "Who asked your fruit wine to be so delicious that I finished drinking it so quickly."

"Now that you mention it, I have been developing a few different types of fruit wine."

"Really? Then you should hurry and let me try some!" Kong Xiang Yi cried out.

"So it turns out that the fruit wine was developed by Vice Valley Master!" Elder Wu said, "I wonder if we will have the luxury to enjoy your newly developed fruit wine tonight?"

Memory Restaurant would occasionally release new flavours of fruit wine. As such, there was an increasing variety of fruit wine. Even if you didn't like one of them, there was bound to be one to your tastes!

When the other restaurants saw that the fruit wine of Memory Restaurant were so popular, they tried to find out how they made their fruit wines. It was a pity that there were so many wine shops but not a single one managed to produce one that was as tasty as the ones found in Memory Restaurant.

That was why even though the fruit wine from Memory Restaurant was expensive and they could only drink a little each time, there were many who scrambled for it.

"Alright then, it just so happens that I have new flavours to try." Sima You Yue gave a thought and a few gourds of fruit wine appeared in front of everyone. She opened the cork and the fragrance immediately enticed the greed of everyone on the boat.

"This fragrance is even stronger than the previous ones!" Kong Xiang Yi praised.

"No way! Let me try!" Han Miao Shuang couldn't wait to grab herself a jar.

"Give me some, give me some." Kong Xiang Yi waited till she was done before she grabbed the jar and poured a bowl for herself.

"Me too." Someone else poured themself a bowl.

"How is it?" Sima You Yue watched them, waiting for their evaluation on her wine.

"Extremely delicious! More so than the previous ones!" Kong Xiang Yi couldn't help but praise.

After Sima You Yue heard their comments, she smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's good as long as it tastes good!"

"You Yue, why do I feel like the spirit energy in this fruit wine is a little denser than the previous ones?" Han Miao Shuang asked.

"That's a given. The fruits I used this time were naturally overflowing with spirit energy, so the fruit wine that this queen produced naturally wouldn't have gone far." Sima You Yue said with a smile.

"Hehe, You Yue, how many jars of this new type of fruit wine did you produce?" Kong Xiang Yi hugged the wine jug and looked at her.

"Not much." The moment Sima You Yue saw the way she was acting, she knew what was going through her mind, "I haven't even given these to the shops, so I can't give this to you."

"You still have so much time before you go out!" Kong Xiang Yi pleaded, "You can just give them some once you're back! Alright?"

When she saw Sima You Yue hesitating, she continued to beg, "Why don't we do this? I'll buy it from you like I did that time. How about it?"

"Do you really want to buy it?" Sima You Yue asked.

I do! Swear it!" Kong Xiang Yi said resolutely, "As long as you're willing to sell it to me, money is not an issue!"

"Alright! Since you're so forthcoming, I'll sell you these few jars." Sima You Yue said, "However, this will be pricier than the ones you bought before."

"No problem!" Kong Xiang YI took out a crustal card, "Just swipe the amount you want. As long as you give me the fruit wine!"

"Alright!" Sima You Yue took the crystal card and casually transferred some spirit stones over before returning it to her and handing her a few jars.

"Thank you, You Yue!" Kong Xiang Yi gleefully kept the fruit wine away.

The others watched as the two of them completed their transaction just like that and were amazed at their speed. At the same time, they were envious that Kong Xiang Yi was actually acquainted with the owner of Memory Restaurant.

"Vice Valley Master, you sold the fruit wine to young miss Xiang Yi, so could you sell me some too?" Elder Wu said half-jokingly.

"Hehe, Elder Wu, You're too kind." Sima You Yue had to suppress her hatred before she was able to continue smiling. "We set a limit in Memory Restaurant because we just have too many customers. If not for the limit, no matter how much wine we stocked, it would never be enough! However, that doesn't mean we can't give a little leeway to our friends."

"Does that mean you can?"

"Of course." Sima You Yue said, "However, I only have these few jugs of wine. Xiang Yi has already bought them all. However, if you, Elder Wu, want some, I only have the ones that I refined previously."

Although he heard that the wine was already gone and was rather disappointed inside, thinking about how the other wines were delicious as well, he nodded, saying, "Previous batches are fine too. Even though they're from previous batches, they're still worth thousands!"

"You Yue, Elder Wu has taken care of my brother and I quite a bit. You have to give him some discount when selling him the wine! Otherwise, the price is a bit too steep." Kong Xiang Yi said.

"Hehe..." Elder Wu looked at Kong Xiang Yi with satisfaction. He decided that he would treat Kong Xiang Yi a little better in the future. At the very least, if they needed help in the future, he could even casually help them out.

"Then we'll just price it according to the price in Memory Restaurant and give you a twenty percent discount, how about that?" Sima You Yue asked.

"I'll have to thank you then, Vice Valley Master!" Elder Wu was all smiles.

Apart from Memory Restaurant's Membership day, they would never have discounts. However, even during the anxiously-awaited membership day, they would only have a ten percent discount. Nobody had ever received a twenty percent discount before!

"So which types of fruit wine do you like?" Sima You Yue asked.

"What types do you have?"

"I have all of them." Sima You Yue said, "As long as the memory restaurant sells it, I have it."

"Does that mean that you have many?"

Memory restaurant had close to a hundred types of fruit wine. Since she had them all, didn't that mean that she had at least a hundred jugs?!

"It's not really that many." Sima You Yue said, "I have only a few jugs of some types of wine, but there are those that I have more of. A few tens to a hundred jugs as well. It really depends on which flavours you want, Elder Wu."

Once everyone heard it, they wanted to buy the wine as well. Every single one of them felt their mouths water.

"Then give me a few tens of them!" Elder Wu said animatedly.

He had money, but if he missed out on the wine, then it was over!

He exchanged the money for the items and the transaction was done quickly. Sima You Yue even earned a big sum of money.

"Since Elder Wu has bought so many, let's do this. I'll give you a few of them for free so everyone can drink to their heart's content!' Sima You Yue said.

Chapter 1091:- Using Food As Bait (3)

When Sima You Yue said this, the entire deck fell silent before a defeatening cheer resounded.

"Oh damn, Vice Valley Master, do you mean that?" Ni An Yi cried out.

"You don't have a share." Sima You Yue glanced pointedly at him, "The wine is to entertain the Yin Yang Palace and Kong Valley. If you want to buy a few tens of bottles of fruit wine, I'll treat you as well."

"Vice Valley Master, don't be like that!" Ni An Yi whined.

"What about me?" Sima You Yue said, "I'm just saying it like it is. There are people who buy my fruit wine. If you want to drink some, then you have to pay for it."

"But aren't you our Vice Valley Master?" Ni An Yi mumbled in a small voice.

"No wine unless you pay for it." Sima You Yue waved her hands as a few tens of jugs of wine appeared on the deck, "Let's drink."

"Is that really for us?" Those from the Kong Valley asked in disbelief."

"Of course. You Yue is someone who honors her words. Hurry, take it!" Kong Xiang Yi waved her hands as she spoke and a few bottles flew towards the Kong Valley.

The disciples from the Kong Valley excitedly shared the wine jugs. When those from the Yin Yang Palace saw that they were drinking, they went to take a few wine jugs as well.

Sima You Yue saw that the group of them had begun drinking and she lowered her head to help cook for everyone. The corner of her mouth hooked into a profound smile.

"Vice Valley Master, why haven't I seen your Valley Master appear at all?" Elder Wu was eating good food and drinking fine wine, so he was incredibly happy and asked when he thought about how Sima You Yue was the only one hanging around outside.

"Valley Master? He doesn't like interacting with others and doesn't go out much. He was the same inside the valley." Sima You Yue casually replied.

When she thought of what Ximen Feng had told her earlier, she shook her head helplessly.

"I won't be heading out the next few days. Whenever I see them, I just want to kill them. I'm afraid that my killing intent will leak out and rouse their suspicion."

It seemed like while the people from Yin Yang Palace were here, he wouldn't appear at all.

"Never would have thought that a youngster like you would be able to be the Vice Valley Master. A hero has really emerged from the youth!" Elder Wu praised her sincerely.

"I just got lucky. If it were not because I managed to stumble upon some things, I wouldn't have been able to reach my current level." Sima You Yue said.

"Vice Valley Master, you are really humble." Elder Wu said with a smile.

"Aiya, these things are really delicious!" Han Miao Shuang commended as she ate.

"Eating such good delicacies, drinking such delicious fine wine, this life is just too wonderful!" Kong Xiang Yi gushed as well.

"Why do I feel a little dizzy?" One of the disciples from Kong Valley cried out.

"I feel a little dizzy too." Another disciple said with furrowed eyebrows.

"Haha, you guys can get drunk on this kind of fruit wine?" One of the disciples by the side laughed, but before he finished speaking, he became a little giddy too, "Coulf it be that I'm drunk too?"

"Ughh-"

Before he finished speaking, he fell to the floor.

After this, the second and third person fell. No matter whether it was members of the Yin Yang Palace or of the Kong Valley, they all fell.

Elder Wu felt a little giddy as well, and saw that Sima You Yue stopped moving, so his guard went up immediately.

"What did you do to us?!" He glared at Sima You Yue, hesitated for a moment before he stood up. His chair fell to the ground from the forcefulness.

Sima You Yue skewered the roast meat in her hands as she looked lightly at him.

Kong Xiang Qi saw that the disciples of his valley had fallen as well and became flustered. However, he saw that Kong Xiang Yi was merely sitting calmly on the stool, so he remained seated as well.

"Little Sis, this..."

Kong Xiang Yi finished eating the piece of meat before standing up and taking out a jade bottle. She came in front of each disciple of Kong Valley to let them get a sniff of the foul odour, allowing them to come back to their senses.

"What is going on?"

"You guys were working together?!" Elder Wu finally reacted as he looked between Kong Xiang Yi and Sima You Yue.

"You finally got it." Kong Xiang Yi returned to her seat and ate as she poked.

"You guys... did it on purpose!" Elder Wu finally understood, "You guys initially planned it all and intentionally lured us onto your boat."

"Correct! Elder Wu, your reaction is really quick!" Kong Xiang Yi took the wine jug as she raised a toast to him.

"Why?" Elder Wu looked at Kong Xiang Yi. He didn't understand why she would do such a thing. They had never had bad blood between them before!

He then turned his gaze towards Sima You Yue, even more confused as to why there was enmity between the Yin Yang Palace and Heartbreak Valley.

"Why?" He couldn't understand. He couldn't think of a reason.

"Why?" Sima You Yue walked over and stepped on Elder Wu, "Do you recognise me?"

Elder Wu subconsciously wanted to say that he didn't recognise her, but seeing how she was asking him, he felt as if the answer wasn't the right one.

"Have we ever met before?" He thought for a long moment, but he still couldn't find the connection between them.

"That's true. You have never seen me in my current appearance." Sima You Yue said, "But there is someone you will definitely recognise. Ximen Feng, come out and take a look at your old acquaintance."

"Creak-"

Ximen Feng opened the door as he walked out of the house. He no longer wore a mask.

"You- You are..." Elder Wu immediately recognised Ximen Feng as his face filled with disbelief, "Didn't you already die?"

Ximen Feng slowly walked down the stairs. Every step he took was as if he was stepping on Elder Wu's heart instead.

That was impossible. When the Zong Zheng clansmen returned, they said that Ximen Feng had been beaten back to Heartbreak Valley. He had even suffered grievous injuries before he had fallen.

Most people would not have survived, much less since he was already injured.

Heartbreak Valley...

Heartbreak Valley!

He finally understood why they would establish their influence in Heartbreak Valley! It turned out that it was the source of it all.

"It turns out that the extermination of my Ximen Clan has been etched deep into your memory. We haven't met for so many years, but you still remember how I look!" Ximen Feng walked over as Sima You Yue excused herself to the side.

"Didn't you die? How did you survive!"

Not only did he survive, he set up an influence in such a short period of time. Such a powerful one at that!

"The heavens do not wish to claim my life yet. They want me to live on and take revenge. Tell me, how would I dare to die like that?" Ximen Feng stepped on Elder Wu's arm, and everyone heard the snapping of his bone.

Elder Wu was a strong man. Although it hurt, he didn't utter a peep.

"What do you want to do?!" He grit his teeth and painfully ground out.

"What can we do? All we can do is to pay blood for blood." Ximen Feng said, "At that time, when the Yin Yang Palace and Zong Zheng clan exterminated my family, were you around? You watched how they killed each and every one of my clansmen. You watched as they razed my Ximen Clan to the ground in a blazing fire. Tell me, how should I make you pay this debt of blood?"

.

Chapter 1092:- Using Food As Bait (4)

Elder Wu's pupils shrank as he thought of the fire back then. Although so many years had gone by, he remembered it clear as day.

"Remember it now?"

"If you want to kill me then do it!" Elder Wu knew that as things were right now, escape was a futile wish. If it were due to other misunderstandings, perhaps he could find a way to escape. However, to avenge the extermination of a clan was something that couldn't be eased with words. Right now, he only wished to die a quick death.

"Do you think that you can die just because you want to?" Ximen Feng lifted his foot and he looked at the men on the ground with a chilling gaze, "Relax, I will definitely let you die. I will let you watch yourselves die with your eyes wide open. Lock them in the lowest level."

"Yes, Valley Master!"

Although the disciples of Heartbreak Valley knew that Heartbreak Valley was established in order to deal with Yin Yang Palace and the Sage Pavilion and knew that there was enmity, they didn't know that it was to avenge the extermination of their entire sect.

They stepped forward and picked up one person with each hand. They carted them off the deck to the dark cellar downstairs and locked them up.

They had the scent that would attract the attacks of spirit beasts. If they were not locked away, they might lure the sea beasts over.

"Alright, thank you for your cooperation. These wines have not been tampered with. You can drink this with ease." Sima You Yue kept away the wine from earlier and took out a new batch of wine as she spoke to those on deck.

"Hehe, I just knew Boss wouldn't stop us from drinking." Ni An Yi hugged the wine jars and released the seal. He lowered his head and sniffed it. It smelled great!

"You just speak too much!" Sima You Yue rolled her eyes, but she didn't mean to chastise him at all.

It was a good thing that Sima You Yue had a lot of this wine, so everyone on the boat could drink their fill.

Little Spirit watched as they drank half the batch that they had spent an entire year refining in a single night. He lamented the fact that they could drink so well. It seemed like he would have to make a bit more in the future. Otherwise, they wouldn't have enough to drink later on.

In the past, few people drank. That was why they didn't manufacture that many. The spirit fruits in the spirit pagoda fermented one after the other, so they could finally refine a few.

However, thinking about how many they had already refined, it would be fine even if she gave it away to a few people.

The boat sailed under Little Seven and Kong Xiang Yi's control for five to six days before they finally reached an island.

Although they called it an island, it wasn't actually small. It was probably half the size of a continent.

"Xiao Xiao, do you find it a little weird?" As the boat got closer to shore, Han Miao Shuang watched as Sima You Yue kept the boat away. She turned towards the seemingly endless waters and said with furrowed eyebrows.

"Something really is off. We came over here but didn't get attacked by a single sea beast. That is too weird." Su Xiao Xiao said.

"Not really. I was wondering earlier on whether or not there were even some sea beasts in the waters. Later on when I was on the deck, I realised that there were many sea beats, but they hid when they encountered us." Kong Xiang Yi said.

"Could it be that they knew they wouldn't be able to defeat us, so they intentionally avoided us?" Little Seven postulated.

"They didn't even exchange blows with us. How would they know that they wouldn't be able to defeat us? Furthermore, we trespassed in their territory but they didn't even say a thing." Han Miao Shuang said.

"That's true." Little Seven pinched her forehead, "I can't figure it out. You Yue, do you know?"

"I think I have a pretty good idea." Sima You Yue said.

"You really know why?!"

"If my guess is not wrong, it should be because my brothers have brought the Violet Water Dragon Clan across these waters earlier. As we were crossing the waters, they just made it clear. So, the sea beasts didn't dare to mess with us." Sima You Yue said.

"How do you know that?"

Sima You Yue closed her eyes and took a whiff, saying, "There is a light smell of the dragon clan in the air. They probably reached here not too long ago."

"You can even smell that? Why can't I?" Han Miao Shuang tried to sniff around, but she couldn't catch a whiff of the violet water dragon clan.

"You haven't spent much time with them, that's why you can't tell." Sima You Yue said, "I've been with them for a long time and spent more time with that. I'm naturally more familiar with the way they smell."

"Boss, what do we do with these people?" Ni An Yi asked.

"Help them find a good burial spot." Sima You Yue released a group of crimson bees after speaking. They took advantage of the time when there were only a few people around to rush about. They did their best to keep watch over the little island and also tried to see if there really were historical remains on this island.

Each of the men from Heartbreak Valley carried one of the men from Yin Yang Palace and followed Sima You Yue towards the centre of the island.

They arrived in the valley of a mountain and were planning to toss them onto the ground and run off.

"What do you want to do to us?! I would advise you to let us go. Otherwise, the Yin Yang Palace will definitely find out that you guys were the ones who killed us!" One of the elders of Yin Yang Valley threatened.

"Who said that I was going to kill you?" Sima You Yue walked over, "We don't have the time of day to kill you, neither do we have the energy to deal with the aftermath."

"If you let us go now, we will not hold you responsible for what you tried to do to us today." Some of them were still narcissistic, as if they had not yet managed to make sense of what was happening.

"This person isn't crazy, right?" Little Seven asked.

"I think he is. Otherwise, he wouldn't be saying all these things." Han Miao Shuang said.

"Just what have you done to us?!" The men of the Yin Yang Palace were flustered.

"There will naturally be someone coming to take care of you." Sima You Yue said, "Didn't you say that your Yin Yang Palace would do so and so to us? If we don't do it ourselves, how could they pin the crime on us?"

Elder Wu narrowed his eyes. She was really confusing him. He had no idea what they were about to do to them.

"Just toss them on the mountain valley. There will be spirit beasts coming to receive them soon." Sima You Yue ordered.

Every single person was tossed onto the mountain valley.

"You want to use the spirit beasts to kill us?!"Elder Wu said.

Sima You Yue walked over, saying, "That's right. Elder Wu, you're really smart. It really isn't tiring at all to converse with a smart person."

Elder Wu relaxed a little when he heard what she said. If it were spirit beasts, if it went well, they may not act against them. They may be able to convince them to spare them.

"Thinking about how you can negotiate with the spirit beasts?" Sima You Yue exposed what Elder Wu was thinking, "Do you think that we chose this method to give you a way out? Once the spirit beasts come over and take a look at you, they will lose all rationality. Unless they kill you, they will never stop."

Her words caused Elder Wu to recall what happened back when they met the Spirit Beasts. Those Spirit Beasts had charges over without a care when they had seen them. They started fighting them without even saying this.

Thinking about it now, it seemed like Sima You Yue had known about this long ago!

"Recalling what happened to you before?" Sima You Yue very kindly explained it to him, "Are you wondering why the spirit beasts you met earlier were the same way?"

.
.

Chapter 1093:- Let Them Enjoy It Slowly

A bad feeling rose up within Elder Wu. Could Heartbreak Valley have acted against them from the beginning?

However, he immediately tossed the idea away, saying, "Impossible. We have never met before we came in. There's no way you could have acted against us! Were you the ones who set up those spirit beasts?!"

"We didn't even know when you entered this place, how could we have arranged that?" Sima You Yue said.

"You poisoned us. That was why no matter where we went, we would face the attacks of spirit beasts." Elder Wu said.

"Your luck isn't too bad. We came in for such a long time, but you still have quite a number of survivors." Sima You Yue said, "I just wonder whether the Zong Zheng clan was as fortunate as you were."

"You poisoned us before we even entered this place?! When did this happen?!"

"Want to die a knowing death? There's no harm in telling you. Don't you feel like there are some people within my ranks who are rather familiar?" Sima You Yue reminded him.

Elder Wu immediately went to look at the people from Heartbreak Valley when she said this. The moment he saw Old Ape, it was like a shock ran through him.

"You were the ones who gave us the Auspicious Beast blood? You poisoned the Auspicious Beast blood!"

"Brilliant!" Sima You Yue smiled emptily, "I might as well tell you that you wrongly accused the Zong Zheng clan for what happened back at Xisha Mountain Ridge."

"That's why there wasn't any internal strife, but you killed every single one of our men. You even poisoned our Auspicious Beast blood!" Elder Wu finally understood, "You caused us to fall out amongst each other. Malicious!"

"Is it really?" Sima You Yue's expression changed. She stepped on his chest as if she were about to break it apart, "Back when you exterminated my Ximen Clan, why didn't you feel that you were malicious? When you razed our Ximen Clan to the ground, why didn't you feel malicious?! Everything that has happened today is your own fault. The grudge we have against you is something that you can never pay!"

"Ugh-"

Elder Wu couldn't breathe. It was as if he had already seen the God of Death.

If he were able to die just like this, then let it be...

"You want to die just like this? I won't let you off that easily. You can relax, I will let you enjoy your death slowly. You can watch how the spirit beasts slowly break your legs and eat your intestines. You can watch as they pull your eyeballs from their sockets." She retrieved her leg and Elder Wu was finally able to breathe. It was a pity that he didn't enjoy this feeling at all.

Her face was attractive and one felt good looking at her, but her aura was like one who had crawled up from the depths of prison. As she spoke, those from the Yin Yang palace couldn't help but break out into cold sweat.

Evil ghost! She was an evil ghost!

"You Yue, there are spirit beasts approaching." Bi Sheng had never seen her so crazy before and suddenly understood why she had strived so hard to grow stronger.

However, after understanding the reason why, he was filled with even more heartache.

Furthermore, Little Eleven, who was nourishing himself inside the little realm could feel her burning anger. He shifted about, disturbed and flipped the wooden bucket.

Shui Qing Man and Wu La Mai came out from the bottom of the water, wanting to comfort him, but he flew up and flew around chaotically in the air. In one moment, he was in the water. In another, he was flying again. It was as if he was looking for someone.

"What is going on with Little Eleven?" Shui Qing Man watched her child with worry.

"I'll bring him back!" Wu La Mai flew out from the water and chased after Little Eleven.

Little Eleven flew about in the air and every time Wu La Mai was about to catch him, he would twist and turn to dodge. His father chased after him for a long time before he finally stopped.

Wu La Mai hugged Little Eleven and returned. Shui Qing Man watched as he continued to struggle under Wu La Mai's hold and said worriedly, "Could it be that Little Eleven feels uncomfortable somewhere?"

"It shouldn't be?" Wu La Mai said, but when he saw how crazy Little Eleven was, he was uncertain, "Why don't we ask You Yue to come in and take a look?"

"It would be good to let her take a look." Shui Qing Man replied.

Outside the Little Realm, Sima You Yue handed out a few bottles of pills, getting Ni An Yi and the others to feed it to every single person from the Yin Yang Palace.

"What did you feed us?" Someone asked.

"A type of pill that excites your consciousness. As long as you eat it, no matter how much pain your body is in, you will never lose consciousness. All the way to your last breath." Sima You Yue said, "You can slowly savour the last few minutes of your life."

"You..."

These people were terrified. This was the true revenge that she wanted to dish out!

Even those from Heartbreak Valley had been thoroughly scared by Sima You Yue, but they were also excited.

They had always thought that although Sima You Yue was powerful, she was not hard enough. They didn't think that she would have this fierce side to her. To make sure these people slowly died and wouldn't be able to faint until their very last breath. This was just too amazing!

"Yue Yue, are we going to leave this place?" Little Seven asked.

"I..." Sima You Yue just wanted to say that they would watch from afar when she heard Shui Qing Man beckoning to her from inside the Little Realm. She changed what she was going to say, "Let's head into the Little Realm."

She took out the little door to Little Black Lotus Realm and led everyone through it, heading directly to the riverside.

"Godmother, what's wrong?"

"You Yue, you're finally here. Hurry, take a look at Little Eleven. There's something off about him." Shui Qing Man said.

When Sima You Yue heard that something happened to Little Eleven, she was flustered and asked, "What's wrong with Little Eleven?"

"He has been really unsettled since the beginning and hasn't been able to calm down. Your father has to run even while carrying him, and I don't know where they have run off to now." Shui Qing Man said.

"Whoosh-"

Little Eleven flew in from far away, dashing straight into Sima You Yue's embrace. Wu La Mai flew in from the same direction.

"This brat took advantage of the fact that I didn't dare to do much to him so he ran away quickly. If it were anyone else, I would have tied him up long ago!" Wu La Mai lamented the slippery fox that was his son.

"You Yue, hurry and take a look to see what's wrong." Shui Qing Man said.

"Alright." Sima You Yue hugged onto Little Eleven and took a look. She didn't find anything wrong with him.

"Why is he suddenly calm now?" Wu La Mai looked at Little Evelen, who was sitting so quietly in Sima You Yue's embrace and was rather confused.

Little Eleven nestled inside Sima You Yue's embrace as if he had found someone who filled him with a sense of security.

"There's nothing wrong with him!" Sima You Yue said, "Godmother, what was he like just now?"

"He became crazy all of a sudden and started flying about incessantly as if he were looking for someone but also like he was venting his frustrations. His aura turned chaotic as well." Shui Qing Man said.

"Ah, Yue Yue was the same earlier on. Could it be because you were angry, so Little Eleven became the same?" Little Seven casually suggested, but after she finished speaking, she realised that everyone was staring at her and subconsciously shrank her neck in. "Cough cough, I was just making a casual remark, hehe..."

"This guy couldn't be telepathically linked to You Yue, could he?" Ni An Yi and the others had also thought the same way, and were incredibly surprised.

Chapter 1094:- Crimson Flame's Identity, Heart Resonates!

"Don't talk nonsense. Little Eleven has never formed a contract with me. How could he feel my emotions?" Sima You Yue said.

It was still believable if they said that Little Eleven was close to her. After all, she had taken care of him for a very long time and it would be expected that he would like her aura. However, that didn't mean that they were telepathically linked.

All this while, it was only contracted beasts who were telepathically linked to their masters. Something like this couldn't exist.

Shui Qing Man and Wu La Mai's expressions were off. Although they liked Sima You Yue and took her as their own daughter, they didn't want their son to become someone else's contracted beast.

However, it was truly strange. Sima You Yue was angry on the outside and Little Eleven, who had been quiet the entire time, suddenly had an outburst.

It was a good thing that they were confident that Little Eleven had never formed a contract with anyone. Otherwise, they would not have been able to hold back their suspicions.

"It is possible that it really is because of a contract." Wu Lingyu said.

"Senior Brother?" Sima You Yue furrowed her eyebrows. She didn't think that Wu Lingyu would feel the same way.

"Don't be anxious. I didn't say that he formed a contract with you." Wu Lingyu said.

"Then what is going on?" Wu La Mai asked.

Wu Lingyu looked around at the disciples of Heartbreak Valley and Sima You Yue understood what he meant. She chased everyone away, save for Ximen Feng, Little Seven, Wu La Mai and Shui Qing Man.

"Big Brother Lingyu, can you say it now?" Little Seven asked.

"If I am not mistaken, Crimson Flame should be the Divine Vermillion Bird." Wu Lingyu said.

"What?!" Someone cried out.

"The Divine Vermillion bird? You're not confused, are you?!" Little Seven hopped up.

Sima You Yue didn't dare to believe it either. Initially, the Four Winged Rocs had called Crimson Flame the Divine Bird, but she didn't link that with the four divine beasts in the ancient texts. She didn't think that Crimson Flame would actually be the Vermilion Bird from the ancient texts!

However, she should have known about Crimson Flame's identity long ago. Little Roc was the King of the Rocs, and had to show respect to Crimson Flame without having the aura of a king. This proved that Crimson Flame's identity was higher than his.

In order to have an identity greater than the king of the rocs, his identity definitely had to be obvious. It was just that she subconsciously avoided this issue.

Wu La Mai had long since discussed it with Shui Qing Man. Was there even a need to talk about Crimson's Flame's identity since he was able to help Little Eleven raise his bloodline?

However, guessing was one thing. Hearing the confirmation from someone was something completely different. They were still really shocked.

Sima You Yue pulled her consciousness into the spirit pagoda and saw Crimson Flame, who had helped Little Eleven unlock his bloodline, remain in closed door cultivation. She didn't want to disturb him, so she called Little Roc out.

"Little Roc, you knew all this time?" She asked.

"Big Bro Crimson Flame didn't let me say anything." Little Roc directly answered her question.

"He really is..." Sima You Yue was in a daze as she replied. They actually hit the nail on the head.

"Oh damn, Big Bro Crimson Flame is actually the Divine Vermilion Bird. Call me uncle, my heart is about to leap out of my chest." Little Seven patted her chest, breathing out exaggeratedly.

Although Little Eleven had the bloodline of the Divine Dragon, he just carried its potential. Before his bloodline finished evolving, he was still a Violet Water Dragon.

However, Crimson Flame was different. He was the real and true Divine Bird. The Vermilion Bird. just thinking about it made it hard to breathe.

Ximen Feng never thought it would be either, that his own Sister would form a contract with the Divine Vermilion Bird after being reborn.

Although they were surprised, Shui Qing Man was still the most worried about her son.

"What does this have to do with Little Eleven? Why would you say that it's because of a contract?" Her voice pulled everyone back.

"Initially, when Crimson Flame helped Little Eleven activate his bloodline, he used his own blood." Wu Lingyu said, "It could be because Little Eleven absorbed his blood during the process and because Crimson Flame has a contract with You You that it caused Little Eleven to have a closer tie to Sima You Yue."

"But I can't feel any connection with Little Eleven." Sima You Yue said.

"You do not have a contract, so you naturally will not be able to sense the contract." Wu Lingyu said, "It's just that you have a closed bond. Eh, it's kind of like the tie between twins. There's no contract between them, but they feel closer to one another."

"Eh..." Sima You Yue lowered her head to look at Little Eleven in her arms. She felt a little weird.

Her heart resonated with a dragon egg? That was too incredible. Especially since this dragon egg was the future Divine Dragon. Just thinking about it seemed impossible.

Shui Qing Man and Wu La Mai heaved a sigh of relief. Having a closer connection was fine. As long as it wasn't a connection.

However, if Sima You Yue and Little Eleven really ended up having a contract, they would probably reach some kind of compromise.

"Mother, I'm sorry. I didn't know that it would..." Sima You Yue looked at Shui Qing Man apologetically.

"It's fine. Little Eleven and you are considered siblings. It's even better that your relationship is closer." Shui Qing Man said with a smile.

"Big Sis, Big Sis!" Everyone heard Little Eleven call out to Sima You Yue nonstop, with an excited tone. It was just that he was using his consciousness to do it instead of speaking with his real voice.

"Little Eleven, you have to take care of me in the future!" Sima You Yue tapped on the dragon egg.

"Take care, take care!"

"Hahaha"

Crimson Flame's identity coupled with what happened with Little Eleven allowed her initially raging heart to calm down quite a bit. That was why by the time she arrived outside and saw the dismembered bodies strung about on the ground, her heart quieted down a lot.

"Boss, why is that the spirit beasts only shredded their bodies but did not eat them?:" Ni An Yi asked.

"The poison that I gave them made their flesh smell bad. Although the spirit beasts were enticed by the fragrance at first, they wouldn't eat it even though they weren't lucid. Once they realise that the meat smells incomparably bad, they naturally leave it alone." Sima You Yue said.

Ni An Yi and the others broke out in a cold sweat. Their boss was truly vicious! They must never ever offend her in the future!

Sima You Yue saw the expressions on the faces of Ni An Yi's and the others and knew what they were thinking. She acted nonchalant as she asked, "Do you want to give it a try?"

"Whoa whoa, Boss. I've always been very obedient. I'm not an enemy, you wouldn't do this to me, right?" Ni An Yi hurried to express.

"Pfft..."

The others burst out laughing. This guy was a living treasure!

"Valley Master, Vice Valley master, what do we do with the bodies?"

"Leave them be. This is proof that the Yin Yan Palace was killed by spirit beasts. Once others come, they will naturally help us to spread the word." Ximen Feng said, "We no longer have to bother with this place. We can use the remaining time to find a fortuitous encounter."

If they were alive, they would want to see them. If they were dead, they would want to see their carcasses. If they were unable to find their carcasses, the Yin Yang Palace would definitely come to them to demand for their people.

Chapter 1095:- Wu Lingyu Falls Unconscious

After taking care of the men from the Yin Yang Palace, the group headed deeper into the island in search of a fortuitous encounter.

"Hey!" While sitting on Halcyon's back, Little Seven who was leaning on Han Miao Shuang, suddenly sat up and looked towards the direction of the water.

"What's up?" Han Miao Shuang asked her.

"I seem to have smelled something. Mm, it's a familiar smell, but I can't remember what it is." Little Seven said.

"You've smelled many smells before. It's normal that you wouldn't be able to remember. It's probably something to eat!" Han Miao Shuang said with a smile.

"It's not." Little Seven was certain, "This isn't the smell of a giant carrot. I didn't smell that before, so it's definitely not."

"You've never smelled it before, so why do you feel like it's familiar?" Han Miao Shuang asked.

"It's precisely because I feel like it's familiar, but I don't know why." Little Seven pursed her lips and said, "If I knew what it was, I wouldn't be acting this way. Take a whiff, isn't it a very light smell?"

After she said this, everyone closed their eyes and took a whiff. However, they didn't pick up any particular smell.

"There's no smell, though. Little Seven, are you mistaken?" Han Miao Shuang asked.

"No way, there's definitely a smell! Yue Yue, can you smell that?" Little Seven asked.

Sima You Yue took a few deep breaths before she shook her head, saying, "There's flora and fauna all around us with many light and refreshing smells. Are you talking about those?"

"Ugh, why can't any of you smell that!" Little Seven was flustered as she stomped her foot while on Halcyon's back.

Wu Lingyu furrowed his eyebrows in discomfort as he sat there, and Sima You Yue just happened to want to say something to him when she saw his pale expression and furrowed eyebrows. She asked anxiously, "Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

"A little uncomfortable." Wu Lingyu didn't try to hold on as he leaned on Sima You Yue.

"What's wrong with Big Bro Lingyu?" Little Seven asked.

"Senior Brother, you..." Sima You Yue hadn't finished asking her question when Wu Lingyu fainted. His head that was leaning on her shoulder slipped downwards.

"Senior Brother?! Halcyon, make a landing." Sima You Yue supported Wu Lingyu as she instructed Halcyon.

Halcyon led them back to their campsite where Sima You Yue lay Wu Lingyu flat before inspecting his body.

"You Yue, what's happened to him?" Ximen Feng flew over as well and asked as he stood beside her.

"His pulse is very slow. It's as if he's entered a deep sleep." Sima You Yue said, "But it's fine, he should awaken soon."

"You knew this long ago, so don't worry." Little Seven comforted her.

Something happened when Wu Lingyu's soul fused, so his body would occasionally fall unconscious. Even after regaining consciousness, he would be weak for a period of time. This was something that Little Seven and Sima You Yue had known about long ago. Right now, knowing that he fainted because of this allowed Sima You Yue's chaotic heart to gradually calm down.

"Knew about it long ago? What's going on?" Ximen Feng asked.

"Senior Brother's body has an old injury, so he will fall into a deep sleep occasionally. We just have to wait for him to regain consciousness." Sima You Yue explained.

"Is he really fine? Why would he faint all of a sudden?" Han Miao Shuang was still a little confused.

"There really isn't any other reason." Sima You Yue said.

"Does it have anything to do with the smell that Little Seven was talking about earlier? It seemed like he only felt uncomfortable after Little Seven mentioned it." Kong Xiang Yi guessed.

"I want to bring him into the Little Realm for a more thorough check up. You guys don't have to come with me. Feng'er, lead them on forwards for now." Sima You Yue said.

She had yet to carefully inspect his body, and she didn't know how it would be after a more thorough check up. She didn't know how much time she would need, either. If they came with her, she didn't know how long they would tarry. She might as well let them go ahead.

Ximen Feng understood what she meant, so he didn't say much.

"Contact us if you are in any danger."

"Same for you."

Ximen Feng led the members of Heartbreak Valley and Kong valley. Little Seven, Han Miao Shuang and Su Xiao Xiao stayed behind.

"Help me keep watch. I want to give Senior Brother a thorough check up." Sima You Yue said.

The three of them nodded and formed a triangle, helping her keep watch watch with her at the center.

Sima You Yue pulled her consciousness into Wu Lingyu's body, paying close attention to his condition.

"What is going on here?"

After going in, she realised that Wu Lingyu's main vital organs were moving very slowly. His heart was beating at half the speed of the average person.

"Qilin, Qilin!" She called out for Wu Lingyu's contracted beast.

"What's up?" Fire Qilin's lazy voice sounded.

"When Senior fainted in the past, were his organs like this?"

"They weren't. They were normal last time." Fire Qilin said, "But I feel like there isn't anything wrong with him. He's just sleeping."

"Senior Brother said that the previous times when he was about to faint, he would always have some kind of sign. Why was it so sudden this time? Do you know why?"

"Even you don't know, so how would I? I'm not a doctor. Alright, don't bother me. I'm going to rest!" Fire Qilin's voice slowly grew softer. It was as if he was falling into a sleep along with Wu Lingyu.

Sima You Yue was helpless. She could only continue to observe his condition. She came to Wu Lingyu's dantian and realised that there were two rays of light, one white and one black. The black one went without saying. It was probably the devil clan's energy that came with his soul. The white ray was surrounding spirit energy of various colours.

The black and white existed simultaneously in the dantian, but it was also separate.

"It seems like it's like Senior Brother said. One of it is a part of his soul while the other is a part of his body. Both of them are in their own vessels, so there's no danger even though they exist side by side." Sima You Yue sighed.

She didn't know when she would be able to escape this predicament of having a Divine Devil Physique.

She observed him carefully, but she couldn't find out what was so strange that his body's organs were only functioning at half speed.

After searching for a long moment, she still couldn't find out why, so she left.

Since Fire Qilin said that he was fine, he probably was.

Han Miao Shuang and the others saw that she had finished her checkup, so they came flying back.

"Junior Brother, how is it?" Han Miao Shuang asked.

"I didn't manage to find anything." Sima You Yue said, "But his contracted beast said that he was fine, so he should be fine."

"So what do we do now? Wait for him to wake up?" Little Seven asked.

"No need. With him this way, I have no idea when he will wake back up. Who knows how long we will have to wait." Sima You Yue said, "I'll put him in my spirit pagoda and let Little Spirit take a look at him."

"That's good too. This way, it won't impact our searching." Han Miao Shuang said.

Sima You Yue placed Wu Lingyu into her spirit pagoda before getting Halcyon to continue taking them towards the inner regions of the island.

Chapter 1096:- Planting A Rose Garden For You

They walked to the direction they casually found, they didn't know this isn't the direction where Ximen Feng was.

Since Yin Lin said to let her act alone, then she didn't have to chase after them.

"Are there really Emperor's ruins in this Immortal Land?" Little Seven continued, "Shouldn't this kind of immortal land be sealed, how would the Emperor live here."

"Immortal Land and Little Realm was connected with the continents in the past, naturally, people would live here. Just that we don't know if it's any of the Emperor." Han Miao Shuang said.

"Wa, even you know about this!" Little Seven looked at Han Miao Shuang with respect.

"Although the Han clan is nothing special, it's still a big clan, it's normal to know some stuff." Han Miao Shuang said.

"Then what else do you know?" Little Seven asked.

"These are all I know, but I've seen in the books before that there's Immortal Land in other star domains as well, who knows there are things here that don't belong to our continent." Han Miao Shuang said.

"Other star domain?"

"That's right, there's this book I read when I was young, we're not the only one, there are other continents, but I was young, so I didn't really understand. Then I've never seen that book anymore. I don't know if what the book wrote is true." Han Miao Shuang shrugged her shoulders.

"Is there really another place? Yue Yue, what do you think?" Little Seven blinked her huge eyes.

"Maybe." Sima You Yue wasn't surprised.

People from the ancient times thought that the place they lived in was huge, but they realised there were other countries. Then they thought countries were huge, but there were other countries, there would be other continents outside of this continent. After that, they knew that the earth is round and also knew that the earth spins around the sun, then they learnt about the solar system, milky way galaxy and the infinite universe.

Since her past life was like that, telling her how many and how huge a continent could be would not faze her.

"Speaking of the Emperor, You Yue, how's the Heaven Halberd in your arm?" Han Miao Shuang questioned.

"I've already refined it throughout these years, but I can barely use it. Also, it won't have much power if I can't find the other half."

Not as good as Ling Long. Sima You Yue added a sentence in her mind.

In the spirit pagoda, Heaven's Halberd who was used by Little Roar to dig soil, suddenly became agitated, using its fullest power to shake but was pressed down by Little Roar.

"Don't move, we have to dig a hole." Little Roar slapped Heaven's Halberd.

Little Spirit suddenly appeared in mid air, looked down at the dirty and innocent looking Little Roar who was holding on to Heaven's Halberd.

He was here for so long but this guy below didn't even realise, it was the first time seeing it doing something seriously.

"What are you doing this time?" He questioned.

Little Roar twisted his bottom, turned around and took a glance at Little Spirit, twisted back and said, "I'm digging a hole."

"Why are you digging a hole?" Little Spirit flew down, seeing it already dug ten over holes, his face was filled with black lines.

"Yue Yue said before, if a girl is unhappy, as a guy, I have to give her a rose, then she will be happy. Little Dream has been unhappy for the whole day and hasn't smiled, so I want to grow a whole patch of rose, so when she will be happy when she sees the patch of rose!" Little Roar said while waving Heaven's Halberd which was in his hands.

"..." Little Spirit didn't know how to judge this unreliable guy anymore.

Say it deserves a beating, it was just trying to make Little Dream happy. Say it was sincere, it actually took Heaven's Halberd and started to dig soil and also that much. Digging a pit is fine, but it dug a one metre deep pit, is it to plant roses or to bury yourself?

"If Yue Yue know you're using Heaven's Halberd to dig, tell me, will she put you in seclusion?" Little Spirit said indistinctly.

Little Roar's excited eyes became clear-headed, seemingly as if Yue Yue treasured this thing a lot....

With the thought of her punishing itself, its two ears shrugged.

"Yue Yue wouldn't punish me, right?"

It wasn't even confident in its own words.

"Highly likely." Little Spirit said.

"Don't scare me!" Little Roar said while hugging Heaven's Halberd.

"Do you think I am?" Little Spirit looked serious, Little Roar felt a chill down its spine.

Little Dream walked over from afar, carried Little Roar out from the pit, smiled and said, "Don't be scared, Yue Yue won't punish you."

The current Little Dream was different from last time, let's say she was a Black Lotus last time, then now, she would be a Black Rose, beautiful and alluring, would prick anyone at any time.

Little Roar saw Little Dream's smile and threw away Heaven's Halberd from its hand and said excitedly, "Little Dream, you finally smiled, after so many days!"

Little Dream snuggled her face on Little Roar's back and said, "Why am I so fortunate, I have you and Yue Yue, and everyone that keeps me company."

She was a sinner, she should bear endless of pain and criticism, not their love for her.

"Little Dream, we're your family!" Little Roar felt the pain in Little Dream's words and comforted her, "Just don't disdain me if I make any mistake next time."

"I won't. Little Roar is the cutest!" Little Dream assured and kissed Little Roar's forehead.

"Hehe....."

Little Roar was mystified by Little Dream's kiss and laughed foolishly.

Little Spirit looked at Little Roar who looked foolish, shook his head in disdain and told Little Dream, "Although this guy is unreliable, some of his words are right, we're a family, you won't be the only one to bear it. We're in it with you."

Little Spirit rarely said such moving words, he felt embarrassed after and quickly ran away.

After he left, the pit Little Roar dug was filled back up, after which, rose sprout grew out from the soil, the sprout grew as fast as a naked eye could see, quickly it blossomed into beautiful and fragrant flowers, furthermore, there were all kinds of colours.

It became a rose garden, a garden that was built for Little Dream.

The smile on the corner of Little Dream's lip grew wider, but tears dropped from her eyes.

"Thank you guys...."

Little Roar was in Little Dream's embrace, but his face was filled with unhappiness.

It knew Little Spirit would snatch its limelight. Obviously it wanted to plant roses for Little Dream, but this guy immediately turned this place into a garden, moreover, he filled up all the pit it dug painstakingly.

Unhappy! Unhappy!

Little Dream carried Little Roar, sat it down in the garden while smelling the fragrance from the flowers and said, "Little Roar, you can play around here, I need to digest the power in my body and get out quickly."

"Oh."

Little roar walked out disappointedly.

"Little Roar, you're the best!"

Little Roar became lively again after hearing what she said and even started swaggering about majestically.

.

Chapter 1097:- The Tree That Scares Flowey

Sima You Yue felt everything that happened in Spirit Pagoda and smiled faintly.

She didn't think that Little Roar knew how to do something like that, for the sake of lightening Little Dream's mood, she decided not to pursue the matter of using Heaven's Halberd to dig soil.

If Emperor Qing Dao knew his own divine artifact was used by other people as a tool for digging, she wondered if he would be angry and beat Little Roar up into a pulp.

Thinking of Emperor Qing Dao, she sighed unconsciously.

Initially in Heavenly Pavilion, the words Emperor Qing Dao told her rang in her ear and it would come out of nowhere to remind her that the ways of the world were changing and asked her to look for the reason and solve it quickly.

Emperor.....

Wonder if she would see any Emperor's historic relics this time round.

"This island is huge."

They had already flown for a long time on the island, not only did they not see any historic relics, they didn't even see a human.

They saw a few spirit beasts previously when they were near the ocean boundary, but now, there was nothing at all.

After walking for a few days, they still didn't see any historical relics.

"Are there really historical relics here?" Little Seven was losing patience, "This is totally an uninhabited island, an island that has no sign of human habitation."

"I think so too, this place doesn't look like it has any historical relics." Han Miao Shuang said.

"How does it not look like it has?" Su Xiao Xiao asked.

"The place we went before, even though it didn't have any big treasure, at least it has some extinct spirit medicine or some sort, but here, it's only ordinary trees, there's no spiritual qi at all, the plants here are incomparable to other places." Han Miao Shuang answered.

"That's right, all these trees and plants indeed don't have any spiritual energy, I don't smell any fragrance from them at all. " Little Seven chimed in.

"We've already walked in this forest for two days, but didn't find anything." Su Xiao Xiao said.

"You guys don't feel that, it's more enchanting when it's more unusual?" Sima You Yue said.

The sunrise was abnormal, there must be something. The more abnormal this place was, means it had problems.

"What problem is there?" Little Seven asked.

"You think, there's spiritual Qi everywhere in Immortal Land, the flowers and grass are filled with spiritual Qi, but why are the flowers, plants and trees the most ordinary in this island without any spiritual energy at all?" Sima You Yue continued, "Can you guys tell me why?"

"What else can it be, there's no spiritual energy for them to eat, when they can't eat, they starve to be all skin and bones, no, they starve till they become ordinary plants." Little Seven said.

"Then why is there spiritual energy everywhere except here?" Sima You Yue questioned again.

"Needless to think, it's definitely eaten by people." Little Seven said firmly.

"This is a big district, who can eat it all up cleanly?"

"Definitely someone very powerful."

"That's it."

Little Seven patted her head and said, "That's right, if there isn't any spiritual energy here to be absorbed, then it wouldn't be in this situation. Could it be that there are some historic relics that are absorbing all the spiritual energy?"

"I don't know." Sima You Yue said, "We'll know when we find that thing."

"Then we'll continue searching for it!" Little Seven's interest was mobilized again, once a treasure was mentioned, she would definitely be excited.

"Aren't you sensitive to treasures, use your nose to smell and see where the treasures are, we might find the historic relics." Han Miao Shuang made fun of her.

"I'm only sensitive to big treasures, unlike Little Tu, he's sensitive to all treasures. It would be nice if Little Tu is here." Little Seven said.

"I wonder where Little Tu is now, if he is doing fine." Sima You Yue also missed that little kid from last time.

"I feel that something that can make all these plants lose all this spiritual energy, can only be a plant based treasure and make all these plants listen to it, so they can't absorb spiritual energy." Su Xiao Xiao guessed.

"It's possible." Han Miao Shuang said, "So, Little Seven, use your nose and try to sniff, see where the treasure is."

She smiled with both eyes and teased Little Seven with the dog's nose.

"Humph!" Little Seven protruded her chin, facing the back of her head to Han Miao Shuang.

"I'll get Flowey to try." Sima You Yue spoke as she summoned Flowey and got her to check if there was anything abnormal.

Flowey came out looking unwell, pale face and forehead drenched in sweat.

"Flowey, what happened to you?"

Flowey couldn't maintain the human form, and transformed into a man-eating flower and fell into Sima You Yue's hands.

"Master, there's something very powerful here, with it here, I can't breathe." Flowey said in fright.

"Do you know which direction?" Sima You Yue asked.

"In the east."

Sima You Yue watched as Flowey spoke with her vitality shuddering and only could keep her in the spirit pagoda.

"Seems like that thing is high in rank, if not Flowey won't be scared of it." Su Xiao Xiao said.

Afterall, Flowey was a man-eating flower king, she was high in rank in all the plants, all the plant based spirit beasts would be intimidated by the power when they saw her.

But now she only felt that thing's existence and became suppressed like that, how powerful could that thing be?

Sima You Yue and the rest already thought of this question, they turned their gaze towards Little Seven at the same time who was looking around in curiosity.

Flowey didn't even have the energy to compete, why were they the same plant based spirit beast, but this guy here could be so carefree?

Was she from a completely different world or that thing couldn't even match up to Little Seven at all?

Come to think of it, Little Seven was the Eye of Earth, the treasure of Heaven and Earth's derivation, she wasn't an ordinary plant based spirit beast.

"Since we already know the direction, let's go there quickly." Little Seven continued, "I'm very curious about this thing now!"

"Let's go." Sima You Yue summoned Little Roc and got him to fly them towards the east.

With Little Roc's speed, they kept flying for a day before they could get out of the forest.

"This forest is huge!"

"We haven't even seen that thing after flying for so long, did we miss it?" Han Miao Shuang asked.

"No." Little Seven said positively, "I can smell it now, it's the smell that I said before, that smell is getting thicker, I think we're getting closer to it."

The further east they go, Little Seven's facial expression became more serious, even to the extent of not talking to them.

After looking through the mountain range, what reflected in their eyes was a vast grassland, boundless to the eyes.

And in the middle of the grassland, a tall tree was swaying along with the wind. That height was comparable to a small mountain, the tree top covered a perimeter of one kilometre.

One tree equivalent to one district!

"This is the treasure?" Han Miao Shuang and the rest stared blankly.

Even an ordinary tree that lived up to ten thousands of years wouldn't have such a huge treetop, and would choose to develop the root system instead. If the treetop could become so huge, what level has this tree become....

.
.
.
Chapter 1098:- Tree Of Life, The Purpose Of Little Seven's Talent!

Not only was that tree huge, it was special as well.

"Golden colour leaves...." Sima You Yue saw that dazzling tree, she stopped on the ground without moving closer.

"Golden leaves, what kind of tree is this?" Han Miao Shuang and the rest haven't seen any trees with golden leaves before, so they were unsure of what kind of tree it was.

"Divine Vessel Tree." Little Seven muttered.

"Little Seven, you know about this?!"

Little Seven didn't respond to Han Miao Shuang's question, she flew away from Little Roc towards the Vessel Tree.

"Little Seven..."

Sima You Yue consciously caught Little Seven, she didn't even know if that tree was dangerous, she wouldn't let her fly over so boldly.

But Little Seven was so fast, she could only catch her wind.

She saw Little Seven went towards Vessel Tree and paused, she flew into the leaves and disappeared, even her smell was gone.

"Little Seven!"

Sima You Yue kept Halcyon into the spirit pagoda and flew towards Vessel Tree with Han Miao Shuang and Su Xiao Xiao.

"There's a spirit barrier in front!" Su Xiao Xiao said.

Sima You Yue called out Little Roar to aggregate, then one by one holding hands and brought them through the spirit barrier and stopped in front of Vessel Tree.

"Where did Little Seven go?" They walked around the tree trunk and couldn't find Little Seven.

"Let's split up and find, see if she's on the treetop." Han Miao Shuang said.

Three of them nodded, each of them went to a different direction to search.

"Ahh....!" Han Miao Shuang suddenly cried out, Sima You Yue turned her head, saw her being blocked by a ray of light and disappeared.

"Oh--"

A groan came from Su Xiao Xiao, Sima You Yue immediately looked over, he disappeared too.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister?" She called out, but there was no response.

She walked around below the tree carefully, but what she didn't know was, while she was walking around the tree, she disappeared as well.

The Vessel Tree became quiet as usual again.

A wave of dizziness swayed over, she was wrapped by something and couldn't breathe properly. She tried to struggle, but unfortunately her strength wasn't enough.

She felt herself falling, not sure how many metres, it didn't seem like it was going to stop anytime soon. She adjusted the spiritual energy in her body and tried to balance her body so she could fly up, but her body couldn't even move.

In a daze, she saw herself getting closer to the ground, but her body couldn't move, she consciously closed her eyes, thinking if she would be the first Spirit Master to fall to death?

The pain she was anticipating didn't come, when she opened her eyes, she had already stopped falling when she was a few metres away from the ground.

She hasn't got the chance to get back her senses and the ray of light dispersed and made her fall heavily.

Painless!

She extended her hands to have a feel, below her were all leaves, it should be thick judging from the softness,.

She stood up from the ground and looked around the dark place, she materialised a flame to brighten up the place.

A sealed hole with around two football sizes, surrounded with brown creased tree barks, seemed like this place was a Vessel Tree's hole.

"Little Seven? Senior Brother? Senior Sister?"

Nobody responded to her, it seemed like they weren't here too.

She looked around, other than all these tree barks, she didn't see anything else. She lifted her head to see a big black hole.

She tried to adjust her body's spiritual energy again, it was useless, it couldn't be adjusted. The spiritual energy stayed in the acupuncture points without responding at all.

Without spiritual energy, she couldn't fly, not to mention flying up.

"Halcyon." She called out to Halcyon, but this time, Halcyon didn't come out.

"Little Roc? Thousand Resonance?"

None of them answered her.

"Don't waste your effort, you can't contact anyone in here." A gentle voice suddenly rang and made her jump with surprise.

"Who?" She stared in mid air but no one was there.

Suddenly, the trees lit up with golden lights in the bright light, a gentle and refined guy's shadow appeared on the tree trunk.

"You're the Vessel Tree?" Sima You Yue asked unsurely.

"Yes." The guy smiled and said, "You can call me the tree of life."

"Are you the spirit clan's tree of life?" Not knowing why, she said it unconsciously seeing the way he looked.

"Spirit clan? Since when did a new clan appear in the world?" The guy murmured, his eyes showed a faint of sadness unconsciously.

Eh, it meant that it wasn't the tree of life he knew himself as.

"Did you bring me here?" She asked softly.

Facing a guy like that, she didn't bear to speak loudly to him, as if she was afraid of interrupting this gentleness.

"Yes." The guy admitted.

"Why did you bring me here?" Sima You Yue asked again.

"Those who can get here are destined people, they are able to get the tree of life's inheritance. But before that, they have to go through a test."

"My Senior Brother and Senior Sister too?"

"Yes. But they're at another place." The guy continued, "Everybody's test is by themselves."

"Then what about my spirit beasts?"

"Are you saying the one with you? It has already gone back to your contract space. Here, you can only depend on yourself, you can't depend on other strengths."

"Little Seven too?"

"Who is Little Seven?"

"Eye of Earth."

"Oh, you're talking about her. She is too weak now, I'll evolve her a bit. She is different from you guys, she doesn't have to take the test." The guy said.

"You can help to evolve her?"

"Of course. Although she's not an ordinary plant, it's possible." The guy said.

"Not an ordinary plant? Then what is she?"

"Have you seen any plant that loves to fight so much?" The guy questioned.

Sima You Yue gave it a thought, it seemed like there wasn't any. Even though Flowey possessed a strong power, she didn't seem to love to fight so much.

But Little Seven were different, this girl fought whoever she didn't like, always saying to beat people up.

Most of the plant based spirit beasts were gentle, full of love and vitality, but Little Seven, just by thinking of it gave her a headache.

"Then what is Little Seven?" Sima You Yue asked.

"Back in the ancient times, Eye of Earth had very strong fighting abilities, they belong to the carnivorous spirit beast types, then their numbers slowly started to dwindle. Until now, I've only seen one Eye of Earth." The guy said, "Do you know what the use of Eye of Earth is?"

Sima You Yue shook her head and said, "I only know that Eye of Earth can help people to cultivate, I don't know the other uses."

"The smell of Eye of Earth indeed can help humans to cultivate, but it has a bigger purpose."

"What?"

"She can help to advance in rank." The guy said, seeing Sima You Yue's face in disapproval, he added, "For those in Paragon Rank that want to become Emperor, with the help of Eye of Earth, the success rate will be raised by seventy percent. If the Emperor wants to continue advancing, the success rate will also be raised with the help of Eye of Earth."

Chapter 1099:- Qing Yi

Sima You Yue was so shocked that her jaw dropped.

After living for so many years, she would rarely be this shocked.

After a while, she then found her focus, at the same time, her worries sprung up.

What a special talent, if others knew about it, then wouldn't be Little Seven be in more danger?!

"Maybe it was because of this that Eye of Earth became like that." She sighed, "If she had stronger strength, it would be less dangerous."

The guy was observing her, from the point that she knew Eye of Earth's purpose, she didn't show any excitement or greediness, there was only shock and worry.

Unlike the people he met before, once they know about some good stuff, they become greedy.

"Don't you want to get her? From what I know, you and her don't have any contract. Do you want to contract with her before she becomes stronger?" He probed.

Sima You Yue shook her head, "I've never thought of contracting with Little Seven. Even now that I know she has a bigger purpose, I've never thought of it."

"Why? If you have her, you'll become much stronger and you can go further."

"Without her, I can become stronger and go further too." Sima You Yue answered.

"Don't you want some help from outside? You want to depend on yourself and walk along?" The guy questioned.

"Of course not." Sima You Yue said, "I'm not only focusing on cultivating, external strength will naturally come into use. Just that Little Seven is my friend, my Little Sister, she is someone I acknowledged. In my eyes, she is not a treasure that I use to cultivate, but my friend. I won't sacrifice my friend to upgrade myself."

The guy stared at Sima You Yue, he sighed in this heart.

In here, he was the Master so he knows whether Sima You Yue was speaking the truth.

He could feel it and that she indeed felt the way she said. She really saw Little Seven as a partner and not a treasure.

"I hope you'll stick to your current thoughts next time." He said softly.

"I also hope it'll stay this way." Sima You Yue continued, "Maybe next time when the realm changes, my thoughts might change, but I hope no matter how far I go, I will stay with this mentality."

"Staying with this mentality, that's a good sentence!" The guy's voice sounded a little excited, it had been long since he heard this sentence.

Humans could never have the same thinking forever, with their strength growing, with different realms, abundant experiences and changes in living environment would definitely change people. But no matter how much changes there would be, if she stuck to her heart, she would be herself!

"I didn't expect you to understand at such a young age." The guy said, "Unfortunately your current situation is bad, I'm not sure if you can keep being like this."

"Eh?" Sima You Yue didn't understand what his jump of thoughts meant.

"Your health is bad." The guy said, "Divine Devil Physique, it's been years since I last saw it. Luckily you refined your body well, if not you'll die from the explosion of your body."

Sima You Yue didn't expect that he would find out this problem of hers, stunned, she smiled bitterly and said, "Although I'm good at refining, but it didn't solve the problem, it will end up as a threat."

"Your way of mind is firm, you'll find a way." The guy continued, "I believe my judgement."

"You're more confident than me." Sima You Yue said.

"Actually, you're not really worried about it, isn't it?" The guy smiled and saw through her thoughts.

"Hehe, it's not that I'm not worried, I think that if I can find a way, I will, if I really can't find any way, then I can only accept it." Sima You Yue continued, "But before I die, I've something that I need to accomplish and die without regrets."

"You're pretty open minded."

"Didn't people in the ancient time say that, whether they die sooner or later, people will surely die, it's nothing as long as I die without regrets. Just don't let me die before I accomplish some stuff."

"Hehe...." The guy laughed softly, "Your thinking is indeed different from others. But it suits my taste. I wanted to just give you something small and chase you away, but I've changed my mind."

"Didn't you just say that there will be a test?" Sima You Yue asked in doubt.

"The test is over, you've passed the test." The guy said.

"The test is to chat?" Sima You Yue blinked her eyes, was the test supposed to be this easy?

"Haha, then, what else do you think it will be?" The guy smiled lightly, "How to abuse you physically and torture you mentally?"

"Er...." She really thought that way.

"I already knew your problem when you stepped into here." The guy continued, "Your talent, your willpower, I already knew from the past, so I don't need to test you all that anymore."

"You already knew about my past?" Then does he know all the secrets as well?

"You don't need to worry about others knowing your secret." The guy said, "I've a lot of others' secrets here, I don't have the thought of spilling all the secrets."

"Hehe, of course I'll be worried." Sima You Yue giggled.

"Those that used to pass my test will get my essence. But, I think I can give you other things, that is if you can get it." The guy continued.

"That means that there's a chance I won't get it?" Sima You Yue asked.

"Yes and no." The guy said.

"Then can I change it to another thing?" Sima You Yue asked.

"Change?"

"Yes, how about that, I'll change it with you, I don't want that thing anymore, you go with us." Sima You Yue said haughtily.

"Haha...." The guy was teased by Sima You Yue's thoughts, but he didn't agree to her request, a gold light flashed passed and the shadow on the tree trunk disappeared.

"The crease on the tree has meaning on it, if you can feel it, then you can leave here. If you can't get it right, then you'll have to keep staying here till you feel it."

"Hey, how can it be like this, isn't this taking away the benefit?" Sima You Yue shouted.

Although she just joked with him that might make him unhappy, he didn't have to be like this.

"Qing Yi."

"What?"

"My name." The guy said.

"Qing Yi? Aren't you wearing yellow? Why are you called Qing Yi instead of Huang Yi?"

"....."

Qing Yi decided not to mind her, this guy indeed had some characteristic of a thug.

"Qing Yi, if I can feel it, will you go with me?" Sima You Yue asked towards the air.

He ignored her still.

"If you don't answer me means you accepted. You've to go with me after I pass this round. I'll take you around to see the world."

Qing Yi felt regretful, he shouldn't let her achieve her enlightenment.

Chapter 1100:- Love Affinity From Ten Thousand Years Ago! (1)

The silence in the tree's cave shrouded her, as if she felt that he was somehow angry.

Although he wasn't really angry.

Living to this age, there would be little things that could anger him.

Sima You Yue turned around, all she could see was the tree crease.

"Am I supposed to comprehend some principles from here?"

She slowly sat down, the soft leaves gave out a faint fragrant that made her relax after smelling it.

"Tree crease, tree crease, what principles can there be in tree creases?" She stared at those tree creases, but tree creases are tree creases, she didn't see any difference.

At the same time, in another tree cave, Han Miao Shuang and Su Xiao Xiao were also trying to feel, but the difference between them and her was, they were in a mirage, what they saw was a different environment and not the original crease she was looking at.

"Qing Yi." Little Seven climbed on a tree branch, calling out to the person beside her.

"Hmm?" Qing Yi turned his head around and looked at this young lady, who was his friend, a very, very good friend.

"Qing Yi, I remember who you are." Little Seven continued, "I'm sorry, I've forgotten."

The corner of Qing Yi's lips curled up into a smile, extended his hand and patted her head and said, "I didn't think that you'll degenerate to this extent, you must have suffered this past few years."

Little Seven shook her head, "No memories, no pain."

She sat up, leaned on Qing Yi and said, "But after so many years, you still remember the past, you've suffered more than me."

Qing Yi hugged Little Seven, her small figure was different from last time, it felt different, but she smelled the same as how he remembered.

How many years had it been, he didn't even remember how many years he didn't see her already.

"When you got caught last time, they absorbed all your spiritual energy, no one knew if you're dead or alive, I thought I won't be able to see you again."

He caressed her hair like how he used to, it was as gentle as how he did in the past, such a pity they weren't that person she used to be.

Little Seven laid in his embrace gently and absorbed the smell of him.

"Qing Yi, do you know, after I'm conscious, I keep thinking that I'm a baby that has just formed, I'm like a baby that was so curious about this world, slowly growing up. But the moment I saw you, my memories came back completely, from there I know that things didn't happen the way I thought it had. I'm glad, glad that I can see you again, and remember our past."

"It's a pity that we weren't strong that time, if not I won't let them snatch you away feeling helplessly." Qing Yi felt remorseful.

Little Seven raised her head and saw him blaming himself, she couldn't help but feel heartache for him.

"You can't be blamed for what happened in the past, you don't have to punish yourself like that and hide here for so many years. I can't imagine how you pull through all these years. Staying alone here, how lonely is that?"

Qing Yi only smiled faintly.

Lonely?

Maybe.

But he was already lonely to the extent that he forgot what lonely was.

"Sigh, what do we do?" Little Seven sighed.

"Why?"

Little Seven extended her hand and lightly pinched Qing Yi's face, then she pinched her own face and said, "What do we do, although I've regained the memories, but I feel that I'm so young, you're old, would there be a generation gap between us?"

"..." Qing Yi was speechless and saw the smiling expression in Little Seven's eyes, he said helplessly with love, "Little Seven, you've become naughty."

Another meaning : Little Seven, you had become bad!

"Since when I become naughty, it's really a problem between us, don't you think that I'm very young?" Little Seven stared at Qing Yi, giving him an expression of asking for an assurance.

"Haha....." Qing Yi laughed, "You do, you're young now, like a little doll."

"Pfft, you're teasing me." Little Seven pouted.

"No." Qing Yi saw she got angry without feeling worried, "If Sima You Yue knows I'm teasing her, will she be angry at me?"

"No, Yue Yue isn't easily angered." Little Seven continued, "Moreover, you didn't tease her, if she can attain her own enlightenment here, she will be thankful to you."

"She's actually not bad. She's sincere to you." Qing Yi continued, "I'm rest assured that you follow her."

"Won't you come with me?" Little Seven held onto Qing Yi's clothes and looked at him anxiously.

"I....."

"If you don't come with me, what will happen if Yue Yue can't protect me? What if I get caught by others again? If my spiritual energy gets absorbed again, can I still start my spiritual wisdom? I..... WA--"

The more Little Seven spoke, the sadder she was and cried out loud.

Qing Yi became flustered after so many years, seeing Little Seven's tears. Like what she said, if all those came true....

No, never, he wouldn't let this come true!

"Alright, don't cry, I didn't say that I won't go with you." Qing Yi pacified her as he wiped her tears away gently.

He wanted to say he was used to being here, but he couldn't let anything happen to her, he wouldn't know if he could bear the pain of losing her again.

"Really?" Little Seven asked while sobbing.

"Of course it's real. When did I ever lie to you?"

"Hmph, you always lie to me the last time when you haven't grown up and I'm a little dough." Little Seven brought up the things when they were young.

"That's already ten thousands years ago...." Qing Yi felt helpless.

"It still happened regardless how long ago it was." Little Seven snorted.

"Alright. I didn't lie to you when we grew up."

"That is because I've become smarter after I grew up, you can't deceive me."

"....."

You've become narcissistic.

"Okay, I told you I'll go with you, don't cry anymore." Qing Yi heart ached as he saw her crying.

That time, when he saw how she was taken away with his own eyes, the tears on her face pained him for a few ten of thousands of years, now, he didn't want to see her tears anymore and he couldn't bear to see it anymore.

"I can't control it, who asked you to tease me." Little Seven complained.

"It's all my fault. Don't cry anymore..." Qing Yi pulled Little Seven into his embrace and lightly patted her back. "But, there will be a condition if I go with you."

"On what condition?" Little Seven leaned on his chest and asked muffedly.

"Although I'm out there, unless you get into any dangerous situation, I won't take any actions no matter what." Qing Yi said.

"I don't want you to take any actions either. I know, you're restricted by the rules of heaven, I won't put you in danger." Little Seven continued, "When we're out, I'll protect you."

"Haha.... Alright, you protect me."

Qing Yi laughed, although her temperament changed quite a bit, but she still treated him the same as last time, he wouldn't let anyone take his happiness that was hard to come around away from him anymore, not even Heaven!
