Chapter 588 - Hands are tied
Mo Sha carried in a tray, and on it was a light blue bowl.
“I made something for you.” Mo Sha placed the tray on the table. He placed the bowl beside the table, supported her with one hand.
Sima You Yue saw the light blue soup in the bowl. She asked rather weakly, “What is this?”
“Something that will do you good.” As Mo Sha spoke, he placed the bowl beside her lips.
Sima You Yue drank the liquid in the bowl as he fed it to her. After drinking it, a light taste lingered in her mouth. Her vertigo had already subsided quite a fair bit.
“What was that?” She asked again when she felt that her head had cleared up quite a bit.
“Medicine in a bowl.” Mo Sha said, “You should rest up first.”
After saying that, he took the bowl out.
On the second day, Mo Sha brought in a bowl of red liquid. On the third day, he gave her a bowl of green medicine. On the fourth day, the medicine was much more normal. It was a bowl of medicinal white liquid.
Sima You Yue always drank it down without the slightest bit of hesitation. Once she had finished the fourth bowl, she felt that her body felt differently towards space. It was as if she was now more in touch with space.
Since the feeling was still around, she closed her eyes and tried to comprehend space. She could feel that she had made quite a bit of improvement. If her comprehension used to be this room, then she had now stepped outside to the vast open land.
After her comprehension of space had expanded, she also realised that her range had increased. She used only to be able to control space the size of a cube, but now, she had control over space around half the size of this house.
Seeing the amount of space that she could now control gave her a huge shock. How could it be that large? She guessed that it had something to do with the medicine that Mo Sha had given her. She wondered if she could get a hold of it.
It was only later on that she found out that the medicine had not only strengthened the amount of control that she had on space, but had also cured her of the motion sickness she had when she took teleportation arrays. Whenever she used teleportation arrays later on, the vertigo never reappeared.
She had just woken up from her meditation when Mo Sha knocked on her door. She had made good use of the time.
She went to open the door and saw that Mo Sha was standing outside. He did not wait for her to say anything before speaking, “Let’s head out.”
“Where are we going?”
“We’re going to help them.”
“Eh?”
She had yet to react before Mo Sha turned around and left. She had no choice but to close the door and chase him outside.
Mo Sha took her and they walked for two days before arriving in front of a cave. There were a few corpses of the devil clansmen littered around the cave entrance, and one could tell at a glance that they were from the Red Jade clan and the Zu clan.
Mo Sha walked in front, as Sima You Yue held Little Dreams hand and followed behind him. The three of them entered the cave, and they heard the rustling sound all the way.
“Who is it?” A shout was heard from inside, then Hua Xiu and the others came running out. When they saw that it was them, the said with surprise, “What are you guys doing here?”
“Since you didn’t come back after so long, we came to see if you needed any help. How are things now?” Sima You Yue said.
“I’ve already settled the Red Jade Clansmen, and they’ve already taken the medicine. However, they’ve already run into trouble.” Hua Xiu said.
“What trouble?”
“You’ll know once you come in.” Hua Xiu said as he turned around and entered.
Once Sima You Yue entered, she finally understood what was wrong. It turned out that nobody knew where such a huge cage had come from. All the black jade clansmen had been trapped inside, and the cage could not be opened. They had no way to rescue them.
When they saw Sima You Yue and Mo Sha enter, there was still some puzzlement in their gazes. Hua Jing said, “This is made of a ten-thousand year iron. Without the key, we cannot open it. We’ve already exhausted all our ideas.”
Sima You Yue glanced at Mo Sha. Could it be that this guy knew from the start that they would be unable to open the cage, which was why he got her to come and unlock it?
Ba Jia Zi was standing at the side, directing some people to attack with spirit energy. However, even using their spirit energy was ineffective. She looked like she was about to burst into tears.
Sima You Yue walked over and Ba Jia Zi forced out a smile when she looked at her, “What are you doing here?”
“Let me try.” Sima You Yue saw the lock that was about one foot high, and there were scorch marks and hit marks on it. There was also marks of attempts at prying it open.
“Alright.” Ba Jiz Zi did not place much of her hopes on Sima You Yue. However, since she said so, she should really have a plan!
Sima You Yue went over and took a look at the lock. She used her own fire to give it a try and burt it for 2 minutes, but the lock didn’t seem to give.
When the people in the cage saw that a stranger had come, they held a bit of hope. However, the result was still unexpectedly the same.
“You Yue, the average fire is completely useless against it.” Ba Jia Zi said.
“Indeed.” Sima You Yue retracted her flames and began to use Crimson Flame’s flame.
When the flame burst out, the temperature in the cave went up by an entire notch. Everyone felt waves of deep fear towards the flame.
“You Yue, you- what kind of flame is this?” Ba Jia Zi subconsciously took a step back as she looked at the flame pouring from her hands.
“Belongs to my contracted beast.” Sima You Yue said.
She attacked with her flame, and the flame could only surround the surface of the lock. She watched as the lock slowly shrunk in size, and complained that it was taking too long. If she could just increase her flames by a bit, things would be much quicker.
However, this flame was the nemesis of the dark clans. With just this little bit, they were already trembling with fear. If she were to increase it by one notch, she was afraid that they would not be able to handle it.
Since she could not envelope the entire lock, she could only target the metal chain.
It was really useful! The Black Jade clansmen watched as the lock began to shrink in size, and their eyes filled with hope.
When Hua Xiu saw her flame, he could not help but break out in cold sweat. If she had directed that flame towards him during her kidnap, he might already have been burnt into a pile of ashes.
Time ticked slowly by, and after an hour had passed, the lock was finally broken. Sima You Yue retrieved her flame and the temperature went back to normal.
“Alright! Everyone, quickly get out.”
One by one, the black rabbits came out from the cage. The poison in their bodies had already been cured, and they were now lively and full of energy.”
“Princess, since the Red Jade clan dared to betray us, we will break off all our ties. We’ll wipe them out!” An elder from the Black Jade clan cried out.
“That’s right, Princess, we must find the Red Jade clansmen and take revenge!”
“Everyone, please calm down. We will never let the Red Jade clan off for betraying our Devil Rabbit clan. However, this is not our priority right now.” Ba Jia Zi placated them, “My grandparents have been kidnapped by the Zu clan, and are now held captive in Blood Level City. Not only that, they’ve also kidnapped the elders of the Hua clan along with other elders from other clans. Right now, our main task should be to think of a way to rescue the elders and other clansmen. As for the Red Jade clan, we will definitely make them pay for what they’ve done!”
