Chapter 1488: You even provoke those from the ghost clan!!
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
For the next few days, Sima You Yue and the others remained in the camp without entering the desert.
What happened the last time still left them with some lingering fears.
On this day, Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu took a slow walk around the outside. They left their camp and went to the hillside nearby. On the hill, they saw the sunset on the desert, its color beautiful.
“You went over to the Sage Pavilion the last time, will there be any issue if you don’t return now?”
“The commanding officer over there right now is the one and only Vice Pavilion Master, Miao Hou Xin. We’ve never really gotten along. He’s extremely unhappy about me leaving the space position of Holy Son empty, so there’s no need for me to go and show my face over there.” Wu Lingyu hugged her waist and pulled her to sit. The afterglow of the evening sun landed on their bodies, bringing in a warm serenity.
Sima You Yue was at east as she lay in his embrace. She watched the yellow sun reddening under the sunset.
“Looking at it this way, the sand really is beautiful. However, nobody dares to go closer.” She sighed.
The last time, if it were not because she had many scarlet bees, she would definitely have died trapped in there.
In a place like this, it really wasn’t easy to find the ancient mines.
The view was picturesque, but it was filled with death!
“We will be fine as long as we can figure out the pattern.” Wu Lingyu said.
“How could it be that easy. The desert is so big, just one simple action could result in a huge impact.” It wasn’t like Sima You Yue didn’t think of this idea, but she gave up. It was just too massive of a project, and it might take her a few tens of years without any conclusive results.
“That’s true.” Wu Lingyu said, “Do you believe in me?”
“Hmm?” Sima You Yue raised her head and looked at him. Why did he suddenly ask her this question?
“If I brought you in, would you trust me?” Wu Lingyu asked, “When we reach the desert, your scarlet bees may not necessarily find the way out, and all of them may even die before we even reach the fringes. Under those circumstances, would you still go in with me?”
He lowered his head, and they looked into each other’s eyes.
Sima You Yue smiled, “What is there that I dare not to do? At the very least, we’ll be stuck inside there. With the Spirit Pagoda, we won’t even have to worry about dehydration. As long as we don’t lack water, we’ll definitely be able to get out. Anyway, with you around, all places are the same.”
“Like how one should follow a chicken if they marry a chicken?” Wu Lingyu smirked, leaving a light kiss on the edge of her lips.
“Are you a chicken?”
“It’s just an analogy, don’t take it so literally.”
“This isn’t an analogy, I should take the literal meaning of each word.”
“Don’t mess around.”
“I didn’t.”
“...”
When they returned to the campsite, they realised that the atmosphere was a little weird. Their tent had been surrounded from three sides.
They glanced at each other before running down in a hurry.
“I’ve already said this, the disappearance of your daughter has nothing to do with our You Yue. Don’t just toss any random blame to us!’ Si Yue’s infuriated voice was heard.
“If it doesn’t have anything to do with her, then that means it has something to do with you! We heard that the day before they disappeared, you even fought with them. You must have definitely sought revenge and killed them!” A woman accused them angrily.
“Tch, kill them? If it wasn’t for You Yue, I would really have killed them that day. It’s a pity that You Yue came and stopped us from fighting.” Si Yue huffed.
“So it was you!” The woman cried out, wanting to attack Si Yue, but Si Hui, who was standing by her side, caught her arm.
“I don’t give a damn who you guys are. If you touch a single hair on my sister, I will exterminate you all!”
After saying this, he shook off her arm and tossed her to the side.
Yang Si’s mother, Wei Xue Zhi, trembled under their gaze.
The look in their eyes was terrifying!
“Hmph, Old Lady, I was courteous to you just now because Yang Si and You Yue were acquaintances and you are Yang Si’s mother. Don’t think that I’m afraid of you just because you’ve brought a lot of people with you!” Si Yue called out, “The news that Yang Si and the others have disappeared has travelled around the campsite these few days. They definitely ran into the desert themselves. They want to look for deaths on their own, so why are you running over here to bite me like a mad dog? Do you think that everyone is afraid of you just because you’re from the Sixteenth State? Hmph, there are some people that you can offend, and some that you cannot!”
Sima You Yue was listening to it from the outside and she smirked. It was no wonder she was from Ghost City. Her words were so domineering!
It was hard to imagine that she was still worried that Si Hui and the others would get mad if Si Yue provoked anyone outside. She was now not worried at all.
The fact that they were able to arrive so quickly meant that others from Ghost City would be able to as well. Even if Si Yue caused a mountain of trouble, they would rush over to help back her up!
“What’s going on here?”
Just as Wei Xue Zhu, who was inside was thinking of attacking, they heard a light voice coming in from the outside.
The guards on the outside stepped aside as Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu walked in.
“You Yue, you’re back.” Si Yue waved at her.
“What’s going on here? Who is this?” Sima You Yue walked over and asked again.
“Oh, it’s Yang Si’s mother. She can’t find her daughter, so she ran over demanding for us.” Si Yue said, “She’s causing a ruckus over nothing. Everyone knows that they ran over to the desert and died inside. Why would she run over here and ask for them here!”
“Looking for Yang Si?” Sima You Yue’s face flashed with confusion, “She wasn’t with us. Why would they look for them here?”
“Stop pretending! Someone said that you guys disappeared at the same time that they did. If you guys didn’t leave together then what happened?”
“I think you got it wrong. Si Yue and I went for a walk nearby. She didn’t want her guards to follow along so we left quietly. However, we returned after a few days.” Sima You Yue said, “Like Si Yue said, everyone knows that they went into the desert. If we went into the desert, do you think we’d be able to come out? Up till now, not a single person who has gone in has managed to come out.”
“Hmph! Nobody believes your lies!” Wei Xue Zhu snorted icily.
“Don’t act shamelessly when we’ve already treated you with respect! If you continue to kick up a fuss here, don’t blame us for being discourteous!” Si Yue cried out.
“Discourteous? How will you be discourteous? A group of dark spirited spirit masters dare to act so presumptuously on the main continent!’
Wei Xue Zhu had just finished speaking when she was surrounded by an icy cold aura. Her entire person felt like she was surrounded by ice. Her internal organs felt as if they had been shifted as an ache arose. Then, she was sent flying and landed heavily on the ground and spat out a mouthful of old blood.
“My people from Ghost City are not for you to judge!” Si Yi was more straightforward than Si Hui. The strength of this aggressive strike was one that Wei Xue Zhu was completely unable to defend against.
Sima You Yue looked at Si Yi with bulging eyes. She didn’t even manage to clearly see how he had acted before the person ended up heavily wounded.
Si Yue saw her surprised look and said with a smile, “Second Brother is the strongest one here. He has the bloodline from that side.”
Sima You Yue was stunned. That side? The Ghost Clan?
