Chapter 311 - Halcyon Returns
Nalan Lan never thought that Sima You Yue would ask this question. Her face fell, but suddenly rose to a smile, saying, “He and I no longer have any relationship, if you want to understand his situation, you can return to the Imperial Capital to see.
“Forget it. I’m afraid I’d get beaten to death if I return.” Sima You Yue shrugged. “That being said, shouldn’t you be thanking me. If I hadn’t chanced upon it, and had not awakened you, you would still be kept in the dark.”
“Yes, indeed. I should be thankful towards you. If it weren’t for you, I would not have determined in my heart to leave that place to come here and experience such great things.” Nalan Lan said. “Being here, I realised that the those things of the past don’t matter that much. My life is just beginning. So, I will definitely properly thank you.”
“Well said.” Sima You Yue smiled coyly.
“I’ve heard that you’ve become very powerful. Initially I had wanted to have a good duel with you, I didn’t think that you would not participate in the duel. What a waste.” Nalan Lan said, with an expression of regret.
“Sometimes, regret is the most beautiful thing. If not, when you realise it too late, you would too upset to even cry.” Sima You Yue pointed out.
“Possibly.” Nalan Lan said. “I have some business to attend to, let’s not carry on reminiscing like this.”
With that, she walked around Sima You Yue, and entered the Plaza.
Bei Gong Tang followed Sima You Yue from behind, listening to the conversation between the two, and waiting for Nalan Lan to leave before coming over, asking. “Don’t you think, that the feeling that Nalan Lan gives off is different from the past now?”
Sima You Yue looked at Bei Gong Tang, surprised. “You noticed that too? Doesn’t she look more saintly now?”
“Yes, she now looks similar to the people from the Holy Pavillion. Oh, rather similar to what your Senior Brother is like before others.” Bei Gong Tang said.
The two of them shared their feelings as they continued to walk.
“Don’t mention my Senior Brother, that’s a fake saint.” Sima You Yue said. “But Nalan Lan really does feel similar when she is putting on that front. Sadly, her skills are still lacking. Even though she gives off this aura, she’s still unable to exercise full control over her gaze.
“Average people don’t have such a venomous aura like yours” Bei Gong Tang said.
“Possibly. But those people don’t think that much of her.” Sima You Yue turned to look what was behind her. Nalan Lan was being surrounded by some people, and she was greeting them happily, giving off an aura that people could not resist worshipping.
Bei Gong Tang noticed this as well, and said, “Could it be that the change in her aura and her physical changes are related?”
“That is probable.” Sima You Yue said. “Lily physique. Perhaps it’s like the body of a Lily Flower, but who knows? Let’s go, those guys are still having a good time, let’s return first.”
“Alright.”
“Bei Gong, have you heard about the other Continents?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Other lands? Are you talking about the Wind Cloud Continents, the Faultless Continent, those places?” Beigong Tang asked.
“So you do know.” Sima You Yue said.
That’s possible, since Bei Gong Tang was someone who came from the higher continent, it’s only normal that she would know.
“I only know about these two,” Bei Gong Tang said. “But I heard that there are many different Continents.”
“Then, why would you choose Yi Lin Continent?” Sima You Yue had some suspicions. Going to other Continents would be better than this one.
Bei Gong Tang smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, “At that time, we were being surrounded, and the Nanny was finding ways to open a new route, but we had to consider where next we could go even after escaping. But thankfully we are here, if not I would not be who I am today.”
“Huh?”
“Because this place has the most obstructions. Coming to this Continent, one must pay a huge price, and those people do not have enough power, and they do not fight like Nanny does, so we managed to escape from it all.” Beigong Tang said.
“Nanny’s injuries were from then?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Mmhm” Beigong Tang said, “Why did you suddenly think to ask about the Continents?”
“I heard it from Master previously, only then did I know that down here there isn’t only our Continent, and I was shocked.” Sima You Yue said.
She thought again, but decided not to talk about the small worlds, deciding to talk about it later. Otherwise, they may get excited for nothing.
Although Bei Gong Tang is someone from above, but she was still rather young when she left. And with the little exposure to the outside world, naturally she would not know about the small worlds.
So listening to Sima You Yue, Bei Gong Tang thought that Sima You Yue only just came to know about these things, and was very curious.
Both of them continued to walk down the street, and seeing that those around them were happy and in high spirits, they both shook their heads disapprovingly.
“This meeting has nothing to do with them, what are they so happy for?” Bei Gong Tang could not understand.
“Some people like seeing such excitement. Although it does not concern them, they just lean towards things that can bring them to high spirits” Sima You Yue said.
No matter in which time or generation, there will not be a lack of people who crave and love excitement. She would always remain a wallflower, regardless of whether it was a tragedy or a celebration.
Suddenly, she felt something. Looking up towards the right, there was a silhouette of a person on the roof. When he saw her, he came down from the roof.
“I’m back.” Halcyon did not know why, but when he saw Sima You Yue, he had subconsciously told her that.
Since when did he consider her as part of his home?
Sima You Yue punched him lightly on the shoulder, and her lips curled up. She spoke angrily, “Where have you been? You were out for such a long time. What about Rainbow?”
Halcyon, looking at Sima You Yue’s face tight with anger, remembered how she looked like when she hid in his arms, her face pale with fear.
It was only after they had formed a contract that he found out that she was a girl. When he saw how she had sacrificed herself to save him, he felt unexplainably closer to her.
He smiled, saying, “I brought her back to her clan.”
“Is it in the Upper World?” Sima You Yue removed her hands from his shoulder
“Yes.” Halcyon said.
“Why did you send her back? Isn’t everything going well here? That’s your wife!” Sima You Yue exclaimed.
“It’s better for her to go back.” Halcyon explained. “Her lifeblood is undergoing some recovery. If she goes back, her body will respond better, and her life blood will be stronger.”
“Wasn’t Rainbow doing well? How did she get to that state?”
Halcyon hesitated, saying, “The matters between us Spirit Beasts, you wouldn’t understand even if I explained them to you.”
“Oh.” Sima You Yue thought so as well, so she did not continue to ask more questions, but continued to walk forward.
Although Halcyon continued walking with them, his mind always wandered to the day when Sima You Yue was hurt.
That day, Crimson Flame had emerged. He saw that Sima You Yue was injured and knew why she was injured. However, despite the feelings of tension, he hadn’t said anything.
After affirming Sima You Yue’s condition he saw Rainbow lying on the bed. He flew over, and said, “This is, indeed a good one”
After that, the egg started to emit a blood red glow, which encircled Rainbow.
Halcyon noticed two drops of fresh blood ooze out of the egg, landing on Rainbow. Immediately, Rainbow’s body started to emit a great light.
