“Brat, you better get your ass back here!’ Old Man Devil shouted into the stone before cutting off their contact.
Sima You Yue looked at the stone in his hand with shining eyes, saying, “Master, what kind of treasure is that?”
Old Man Devil saw that Sima You Yue drool was about to dribble down her mouth, so he said, “This old stone? Even this can be considered a treasure? Uneducated!”
Sima You Yue was scolded and she pursed her lips, saying, “I’ve never seen it! What is it?”
“Mother-son stone.” Old Man Devil said, “The son stone and mother stone can communicate between themselves like this.”
“Then it only works between the pair?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Yes.” Old Man Devil said.
“Master, are there anymore? Give me a few, okay!” Sima You Yue beamed.
“Sure, there are so many in the Divine Devil Valley anyway.” Old Man Devil straightforwardly replied.
The corner of Bei Gong Tang’s mouth curved upward. She knew that, although this item was not as precious as what Sima You Yue imagined, it was not as common as Old Man Devil had put it. It was still pretty uncommon.
Now, Sima You Yue just opened her mouth and requested for a bunch and Old Man Devil’s reply was so straightforward. If those in the upper realms heard it, what would they think.
She didn’t expect that Old Man Devil would really take out a whole bunch. There were at least twenty or thirty of them.
Sima You Yue hugged the pile of stones and said happily, “Let’s give each person one, and my brothers one, ah, Master. There isn’t enough for each person to have one!”
“You can go find a different type when you go to the Divine Devil Valley. You can talk to many people at once. I don’t normally use it, so I didn’t bring it with me.” Old Man Devil said, “Alright, let’s go back now.
After speaking, he took them back to Dragon Mountain.
“You Yue, you all are back.” Sima You Yang saw that Sima You Yue had come back, and went forward to pat her shoulder.
Sima You Yue saw that there were relatively less people at camp and asked, “Where are the others?”
“They’re gone to the mountain to cultivate.” Sima You Yang said.
“Then why didn’t you go?”
“We just got back today.” Sima You Yang said, “We’ll rest for a day before heading back there. Are you all done with your things?”
“Mm, Master has already eaten the pill and he has successfully refined the Three Yuan Pill.” Sima You Yue said.
“Big Sis, where did you go off to play. You didn’t bring Rainbow.” Rainbow flew over and landed on Sima You Yue’s shoulder.
Sima You Yue patted Rainbow, asking, “Where is your husband?”
“He threw me here and went off on his own.” Rainbow’s grievance and hurt was apparent.
“He left? Where to?” Sima You Yue asked with surprise.
“He didn’t say. He only said that I was to stay here and wait for you. He said he would be back in two days.” Rainbow said, “Big Sis, he didn’t go to any dangerous place, right?”
“It’s possible.” Sima You Yue said, “He didn’t even bring you, which means that the place he went to was very dangerous that he couldn’t even ensure your safety.”
“Ah! Husband is in danger? Big Sis, what do we do now?” Rainbow started to cry out in worry.
“First wait and see.” Sima You Yue said.
If she didn’t guess wrongly, Halcyon must have gone to that place.
“Big Sis, nothing will happen to Halcyon right?” Rainbow was still scared.
“He shouldn’t have any problem.” Sima You Yue comforted, “Didn’t he say that he would come back in two days? You have to believe in him.”
“Mmhmm, I got it.” Rainbow said a little dispiritedly.
After a few hours had come by, Wu Lingyu came back. When he saw Old Man Devil eating again, he said, “You’ve become fat these few days!”
“Impossible! I always ate so much from the Spirit Clan, but I never gained weight.” Old Man Devil threw the bone he was holding, and Wu Linyu immediately dodged out of the way with a flash.
“Give it here.” Wu Lingyu walked over and said.
Old Man Devil took out a jade pill and threw it at Wu Lingyu said, “Only three pills. It should help you hold on for three more years.”
Wu Linyu didn’t even look at the pill bottle as he kept it away, saying, “I guessed that you had finished refining it when I saw the tribulation cloud this morning. Three years huh…”
Sima You Yue saw that there was no look of pain on Wu Lingyu’s face as she lowered his head. Then she lifted it back up and asked, “What’s wrong, Senior Brother?”
Wu Lingyu had walked beside her while she had lowered her head, then rubbed her head when he heard her ask the question, saying, “Senior Brother, you have to take care of the old man if I am no longer around.”
Sima You Yue slapped his hand away, saying, “Don’t touch my head!”
“You have to find him within three years. After I go back, I’ll look for Bu and get him to do some divination. We’ll see whether or not he’ll be able to help.” Old Man Devil said.
“No Need. That Divinator Bu is your enemy. Even if you look for him, he may not necessarily tell you after he has got an answer.” Wu Lingyu took out a chair and placed it beside the lake, saying, “If it was at Yilin Continent and he said that it was at the Empty Continent, how would I find it.”
“Since you felt him when you were at the Yilin Continent, he must still be on the continent.” Old Man Devil said.
“I know as well. It’s a pity that my soul is much weaker than before. I can no longer feel its existence.” Wu Lingyu’s voice held a tint of sadness.
Could it be that the heavens had already decided that he only had these few years to live?
“Maybe you’ll be able to feel for him after you eat the Three Yuan Pill.” Old Man Devil furrowed his eyebrows and he felt a bit anxious.
Sima You Yue lowered her head and sat in the corner. Ever since Wu Lingyu had come back, Old Man Devil had casually created a barrier. Although the Sima Clansmen could see them, they could not hear what they were saying.
She listened quietly as the two spoke. They didn’t hide it from her, so it could be said that they thought she was trustworthy.
“That… Master.” She raised her head and looked at Old Man Devil. She said, “I know where the other half of Senior Brother’s soul is.”
Old Man Devil and Wu Lingyu were shocked. Although they didn’t hide it from her, they never said that they were looking for the other half of Wu Lingyu’s soul. How did she know?!
“You Yue, what did you say?” Old Man Devil’s eyes shone as his eyes flashed with a complex emotion.
Sima You Yue saw the look in his eyes and it was in line with her expectations. Wu Lingyu was like a child he had raised. He was definitely a precious treasure to him. Now, she knew of his secret. If she was unable to come up with a proper explanation, he might not let her off easily.
“I said, I know that Senior Brother’s soul is not complete. His power has been growing these few years, but his soul has been growing weaker and weaker. You are both looking for the other half of his soul now.” Sima You Yue spoke of everything that she knew. “I also know where the soul you are looking for is.”
“How would you know that?” Wu Lingyu asked.
Sima You Yue looked at the Sima Clansmen and said, “Let’s talk somewhere else.”
Old Man Devil did not eat the delicacies anymore, and took Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu away from the lake. They went to a mountain peak not too far away and, after ascertaining that there was nobody around, put them down and set up a barrier. He looked at her and asked, “How do you know about all this?”
Sima You Yue sighed, saying, “Because, the other half of his soul is with me.”
