BXBX NOVEL Chapter 397 The White Building
Yale didn’t have too much difficulty to get used as he had used a power far superior before, but he remained training because he didn’t want to return and face Lina.
Yale knew that Lina didn’t know that he was the one who incited Wyba to speak with her, so Lina wasn’t blaming Yale, but that only made him feel guiltier. Of course, Yale never intended to obtain that result, so he wasn’t truly guilty either.
"I bet that you have already got used, so come down to speak."
Yale’s mind froze when he heard Lina’s words after she went to look for him.
"I am just addicted to training..."
Yale said that with a low voice while he descended to the ground of the Storage Space.
"I already heard that from your sisters, but we need to speak about what happened."
Lina was serious about speaking, and Yale didn’t plan to avoid the topic since Lina was determined to speak.
"About that..."
Yale didn’t know what to say. Strictly speaking, he was used to being hugged like that by Aiwai, so it wasn’t something too strange for him, but the main problem was that Lina wasn’t part of his family like Aiwai and was just an acquaintance.
"I am sorry!"
Lina was the first to apologize as she felt that she was the only one at fault for what happened.
"I am the one who should be apologizing. Even though I was in my kid’s form and you were the one who hugged me suddenly, I ended with my head in your chest."
Yale would never say that he spoke to Wyba to increase Lina’s internal conflict, but he still felt that he should apologize for that.
"If a man takes advantage of me to touch my body, I would definitely kill him, but I was the one who hugged you, so I can’t truly blame you for that. However, letting a mere male acquaintance touch my chest isn’t good at all. Thus, let’s say that we are close friends. I feel that losing my calm and hugging a close friend by mistake is more tolerable than doing it to an acquaintance."
Lina felt that changing their relationship retroactively was the best solution for the problem. Although it wasn’t still decent acting like that, at least she felt that it was a forgivable mistake.
Yale truly didn’t understand the logic behind Lina’s words, as he didn’t feel that a close friend of the opposite gender should do that, especially given how strict ancient families like Lina’s family were with relationships between men and women.
"No problem. Then, we have been close friends from the start."
Although he didn’t understand the reasons, if Lina felt better thinking like that, Yale didn’t mind following that setting.
"Very well."
Lina seemed satisfied with Yale being so decisive in accepting that change in their relationship.
In fact, the only reason Lina suggested that was because Yale was the brother of Wyba and Aiwai, the son of the friend of Lina’s father and the master of Lina’s brother-in-law. Thus, despite having only met each other for a short time, they weren’t complete strangers, and it was better to improve their relationship than worsening it due to that accident.
"Lina, I am planning to leave this dimension now. Do you want to come with me?"
After having solved that problem with the hug, Yale decided to return to the important matters.
"I promised to help you in finding your friends, so I will leave this place and help you."
Lina didn’t understand while Yale asked if she wanted since it was obvious that she would do it or there was no way she could fulfill her promise.
"We can do that a bit later. I think that I discovered the secret of that mountain range where we battled. Probably, that is something left there by my father, so I feel that I need to investigate it properly."
Yale didn’t know exactly what was left behind in that place by his father, but given his father’s strength, it was possible that the contents would also be interesting for Lina.
"Really? I am interested, but I bet that whatever is hidden there, is for you and I shouldn’t try to interfere."
Something hidden by an Origin God was extremely enticing for Lina, but she didn’t want to steal something belonging to Yale.
"Aren’t we close friends? How can I not invite you to explore with me?"
Yale still felt a bit guilty for the previous matter, so he thought that inviting Lina to that place was a proper compensation.
"That... that is right, we are close friends. Since you insist on inviting me so much, I agree. That place might be dangerous, and it is normal helping a friend in problems."
Lina didn’t believe that there would be any danger for Yale since that was the world created by Yale’s father, but she still said it as she didn’t want to feel like taking profit of Yale.
Yale and Lina left the Storage Space just after that conversation, and then, Aiwai started to laugh again.
She had been spying the conversation for those two, and she felt it extremely funny.
Outside the Storage Space, Yale guided Lina to the place where he saw that white building after the mountains were blow off. However, since the mountains were intact at that moment due to the effects of Absolute Protection, it wasn’t easy finding the building despite knowing its position.
"Shouldn’t we just blow off the mountains again?"
Lina felt that going by so many tunnels wasn’t pragmatic since they could just uncover that place by destroying the surrounding area.
"I prefer to avoid damaging this world, and I am not sure if we can uncover it without a power comparable to that of our battle, and I bet that you didn’t want that."
Lina shook her head after hearing Yale’s words as she wouldn’t dare to be near such a devastating force without something like Absolute Protection to nullify the damages.
"You are right. I was reckless."
The more they walked, the colder the weather turned. That white building seemed to be the reason for the extreme weather in the area, so they felt that it was good that the weather turned colder.
The tunnels were complicated and even knowing the direction of the white building wasn’t enough to ensure that they were walking in the right path since there wasn’t a linear path to the white building, but they hadn’t needed to walk back even once until they found the white building.
It was like if the white building had been calling them, guiding them for the correct path.
The cold in that place was enough to freeze a normal Law God to death; the only exceptions would be those who had great ability in controlling their body’s temperature.
Yale could endure it thanks to his powerful body, the Life Essence, the Water Law, and the fact that he was a Timeless Sovereign. Of course, Lina who was a Water Essence God didn’t need to worry by the weather in the slightest.
After all, even Yale noticed that the weather was created using the Water Essence in its coldest mode.
"Finding this place had been too boring, just walking by tunnels without any trap and without even missing the way once..."
The cold weather was a trap enough to kill for most people, and Yale was sure that taking wrong paths would surely activate some traps.
"Well, we weren’t looking for an adventure, but to find what secret is hidden in this white building."
There was just a white wall in front of Yale while in all the other directions there was only ice covering the walls of the tunnels.
Yale already knew that it wasn’t any visible door in the building, so he felt that it should be hidden in some place of that wall.
However, finding how to open that door was easier to say than to do it as there wasn’t any clue on the white wall.
"Lina, if you are still bored, how if you try to find a way to enter this building? Even our battle wasn’t able to damage it, so it should be challenging enough for you."
Lina approached that building and tried to sue the Water Essence to investigate it. Since the protection of that building was made with the Water Essence, she felt that maybe the kay to open it would be related to that, but she failed to make any discovering after two hours.
"I give up. There is no fate between me and this building. Yale, you should try it. Since your father left this, you should be the one opening it."
Lina was quite frustrated, but Yale only laughed.
"I know that probably is the case, but you looked so bored that I wanted you to try first. If my idea is correct, this will be easy, and you would have felt even more bored."
Lina shot a deadly glare to Yale while the alter neared the wall and touched it.
Nothing happened, and Lina was about to mock about Yale’s confidence when Yale activated the Celestial Knowledge and the Divine Eyes, and a door opened in the place where Yale had touched the wall.
"Easy, right?"
