Chapter 275
A short while later, everyone slowly woke up. They smiled at Sima You Yue and Jade, greeted them then went about doing their own things.
“Fifth Bro.” Sima You Le walked over, saying, “What are we doing today?”
Sima You Yue shrugged, saying, “Saint City is in lockdown, we can’t enter, so I don’t have any plans.”
“Big brother and I want to walk around the mountain. Do you want to go?” Sima You Le asked.
“Okay, I have nothing to do anyway.” Sima You Yue said.
“You all want to head out?” Jade asked, “Although this place is quite far away from the chaos, it will still have a few crazy spirit beasts.”
“No problem, more of us just have to go.” Sima You Le said.
“Big Sis, Big Sis, I want to go with you!” Rainbow flew over and landed on her shoulder.
“Okay then.” Sima You Yue touched Rainbow’s little head, then looked at Halcyon who was not too far away and asked, “Your wifey wants to come with us. Are you coming?”
“There is something here that is upsetting the spirit beasts. It’s best for you not to go out.” Halcyon said.
“You feel it too?” Sima You Yue asked.
Halcyon nodded. He had felt a kind of aura after arriving here. This kind of aura was making im agitated. If it wasn’t because he was powerful, he would have become crazy as well.
Sima You Yue touched her chin. After she came beside Dragon Mountain, Little Roar had told her about the unsettling aura. However, when she asked Ya Guang and Thousand Resonance, they didn’t feel anything.
Yet she did not suspect whatever Little Roar said, because he was an ancient beast and was much more sensitive towards normal auras.
Now that she heard Halcyon say this as well, she was more sure about what she thought. There must be a reason behind the movement of the ten thousand beast mountain once every few years.
“It shouldn’t be because this place is confining some vicious beast right?!” She inadvertently speculated because she remembered that scene from a year back when they were on Forgotten Worry Island.
“What’s wrong?” Sima You Le asked when he realised that something was off with Sima You Yue.
“Nothing. Go and wake up Big Brother and the others.” Sima You Yue said with a smile.
Even if what she guessed were true, this had nothing to do with them. Otherwise, this entire continent would be wiped out sooner.
After thinking it through, she did not dwell on it any more, saying, “If you don’t come, we’ll leave without you, okay.”
“Take good care of Rainbow.” Halcyon turned around and headed back to his own tent after he said it.
A sacred beast was living in a tent… this was a first for them.
Sima You Ming and the others walked over saying, “Fifth bro, let’s go.”
“Miss Jade, are you coming?” Sima You Le asked.
Jade shook her head, saying, “I already told You Qing and the others yesterday that I would take them to the city to walk around today.”
“Okay. Then you all be safe.” Sima You Yue nodded, then left the campsite with Sima You Ming and the others.
Ten Thousand Beast Mountain was generally quite high. They came to the peak of Dragon Mountain and looked at the little city below. As they looked, they realised it was quite large.
“Ah?” She suddenly cried out when she saw the surrounding landscape.
“Fifth Bro, what’s wrong?” Sima You Ran asked.
“Guys, look. Doesn’t the little city and lake look like the two poles of the yin and yang.” Sima You Yue said while pointing to the city and the lake.
Although the city and the lake were not too far, they passed through a valley, and it looked like it was separated from Dragon Mountain quite nicely, forming the two eyes of yin and yang.
“Yin and yang? What is that?” Sima You Qi asked.
Sima You Yue was speechless. She thought of how this place didn’t have any daoists, so it was natural that these people did not know about yin and yang.
“Nothing, just a type of array.” She smiled with a bit of disappointment.
They walked past a few mountains but didn’t realise anything off. They didn’t meet a single irritable spirit beast, and a few of them had to give up their plans of wanting to spar with a few spirit beasts and wanted to go back to camp.
Sima You Yue was feeling a bit down, so she said she wanted to walk around alone. As a result, the others went back while she flew around the mountain.
She finally landed on an overhanging cliff and saw area around it. She said with some sadness, “Oh Earth, I wonder if I will ever be able to return in this life. Sigh, why would I suddenly think of my previous life.”
She stayed on the cliff for awhile, then was about to leave when she smelled a fragrance.
“Hundred leaf flower!” She stood up and sniffed with great attention, saying happily, “It’s really the hundred leaf flower! This floral fragrance means that it has already bloomed. I didn’t think that my luck would be so good. I actually bumped into a hundred leaf flower!”
The fragrance was coming from below the cliff, so she peeked over then flew down.
“Aiyaya, I’ve finally waited for the flower to bloom. Such a beautiful flower, quickly let me pick you!”
Sima You Yue arrived at the bottom and saw a skinny old man currently squatting at the cliff, with an ugly smile.
Seeing that he had dug up the entire hundred leaf flower and placed it in a wooden box so carefully, she knew that the other party was someone who knew how to treasure pill ingredients.
She initially thought that she would be able to gain something cheaply, but didn’t expect that someone else would snatch the opportunity first. She didn’t plan to snatch it, so she turned around to leave.
“This brat is so strange. You were actually enticed by the flower’s fragrance, so why are you leaving without saying anything?” The old man had kept the hundred leaf flower away and turned around to look at Sima You Yue.
Sima You Yue didn’t expected that the other party would speak to her, so she stopped and said, “Haven’t you already obtained it? Why would I continue to stay? To watch you pick ingredients?”
“You can rob me!” The old man had snow white hair and his two eyes were bright. His entire person appeared full of vigor.
Sima You Yue was stunned when she heard what he said. There was actually somebody who would ask someone to rob them?
She shook her head, saying, “Although this hundred leaf flower is rare, it doesn’t shake me. If I can beat you, all would be well. But if I couldn’t, then wouldn’t I be finding trouble out of nothing?”
“You are smart!” Old Man said, “Are you an alchemist too?”
“I know a bit.” Sima You Yue realised that she could not see through the other party’s strength and was a bit shocked. However, when she thought about it, someone who dared to wander around the ten thousand beast mountain alone at this time could not possibly be an average person.
The old man thought that he would be robbed like before, but he didn’t expect to meet a dumb brat.
“You’re really not going to rob me?” Old Man tried to ask again.
Sima You Yue shook her head, saying, “You don’t have anything that entices me? If you do, then I’ll rob you. If you don’t, then forget it.”
After speaking, she turned around to leave.
Old Man watched Sima You Yue leave, then touched his pointy him and chased after her. He pulled Sima You Yue’s hand and said, “Young man, are you really not going to rob me?”
Sima You Yue looked at the old man. She was shocked at his speed and strength. At the same time, her face was completely black. He was so strong, so how was she supposed to rob him?
It was at this point that her usually quiet devil snare bracelet suddenly shook, giving her a shock.
“Ah, your bracelet is a strange one.” Old Man looked at the Devil Snare bracelet, “It’s actually a Devil’s Snare flower. It’s a flower that symbolizes the most senior head devil from ten thousand years ago! Brat, why would you turn this into a flower bracelet?”
