Chapter 143
Little Spirit and Mo Sha knew that Sima You Yue liked treasures and could feel her interest towards the Seven Layered Pagoda. However, they never thought that she would actually let it go just to protect Little Spirit.
“Why?” Mo Sha looked at her with some confusion, “Even if Little Spirit disappears, he would have turned into a new weapon and it would not affect the current powers of the Spirit Pearl.”
“That’s not the same.” Sima You Yue hugged Little Spirit, saying, “Little Spirit and I have been living together for such a long time that I’ve already taken him to be a part of my life. Even if, after fusion, there was going to be another Little Spirit, it wouldn’t be the current him.”
“However, after fusion, it might increase the capability of the Spirit Pearl.” Mo Sha said, “Furthermore, you would be able to gain a treasure like the Seven Layered Pagoda. Aren’t you extremely curious towards the top few levels?”
“Right, I am very curious. However, I really care about the people by my side.” Sima You Yue said, “Even if I didn’t want that thing, I would want Little Spirit to live well.”
“No regrets?” Mo Sha asked.
“No regrets. Little Spirit is already very heaven defying right now, it’s fine even if he doesn’t become more powerful.” Sima You Yue kissed Little Spirit on the cheek before turning to Mo Sha, saying, “Similarly, if I had to use you in order to exchange for someone, I would never agree. It’s not because you’re powerful or knowledgeable but because you are you. You are a person by my side.”
This was the first time that Sima You Yue had given Little Spirit a kiss on the cheek without him stretching a hand forth to wipe off the saliva on his face. He buried his face in Sima You Yue’s embrace, feeling a warmth arise in his heart.
Even though his previous owners really liked him, he did not care about him that much. He just used him as another weapon. He wasn’t seen as a “person” with a life.
It was no wonder that Ling Long has chosen. It wasn’t because of any future achievements, but because she was someone who was very sincere.
Mo Sha looked down slowly, closing his eyes to hide his moodiness.
Was there anyone who had ever cared about him like this before?
Never.
Those people only cared about sticking to him. If it wasn’t to worship him, it was to take revenge against him. There was never anyone who would say these kind of things to him, that he was who he was, a person by her side. And that alone was reason enough for her to care for him.
Sima You Yue released Little Spirit and picked up the Little Pagoda for a look. She said with some disappointment, “Since you can’t be opened, let’s just leave you inside the Book Pavilion, then.”
“You can.” Mo Sha said suddenly.
“Mm, this really is the only way.” Sima You Yue added on to what Mo Sha said.
“I’m saying, you can fuse them without changing the weapon.” Mo Sha said.
“I know, you said you can… you said you can fuse them?!” Sima You Yue finally reacted as she turned her head to look at Mo Sha with sparkling eyes.
Mo Sha nodded, saying, “You can, but it will just take a very long time.”
“Really! Ha ha, it’s okay even if you take a long time!” Sima You Yue laughed twice loudly, “As long as you are able to fuse them without hurting Little Spirit, it doesn’t matter how long you take.”
Seeing the smile on her face, Mo Sha felt that he was no longer the same person that he used to be. In the past, he never cared about what another person thought, would never think of doing this, never bothered about whether or not other people were happy…
Sima You Yue stepped forward and wanted to pat him on the back, but her hands directly passed through his body.
“Cough cough, in my excitement, I forgot that you had no physical body.” Sima You Yue withdrew her hand and said, “Since this is possible, what do you need to prepare? What do you need me to do?”
“You have no use whatsoever, what would I need you to do?” Mo Sha said, “I will arrange everything. You just have to abstain from using the Spirit Pearl during this period of time, that’s all.”
“…”
Sima You Yue’s initially excited heart was unable to combat the wave of hatred she felt towards Mo Sha. Did he have to be so condescending?!
“Then I will go out and pack up the entire Book Pavilion. I’ll hand it to you later.” Sima You Yue said as she went outside. She placed the entire interior of the Book Pavilion into the interspatial ring before taking out two boxes and left the Book Pavilion.
After exiting the main gate, she realised that the sky had already darkened. She turned around and took a look at the Book Pavilion before indifferently saying goodbye. After that, she placed the two boxes into the Spirit Pearl.
She did not know what Mo Sha was doing but the Book Pavilion suddenly moved before slowly fading away. After that, it finally disappeared out of sight!
Sima You Yue was shocked by the suddenly activity. It was a good thing that it was night time right now. If it happened in the morning, people would have seen a house suddenly disappeared. It would have stirred up some storms.
If they only realised it going missing the next day, she could still say that it was kept away in the night.
When she went back to the house, Sima You Yue called out Little Roar, Mo Sha, Ya Guang and Ling Long. After that, she took out a few more things like medicine and pills that she had refined before, before she took out that Spirit Pearl, which was like the standard item for her, handing it over to Mo Sha.
“You definitely cannot harm Little Spirit.” Sima You Yue warned once again.
Mo Sha didn’t say anything. He merely glanced coolly at Sima You Yue and took the Spirit Pearl. He took the Little Pagoda before returning to the bracelet.
Sima You Yue waited until he entered before remembering that she forgot to ask him exactly how long he would need. If it was something that needed ten years to complete, would she not be able unable to use the things in the Spirit pearl for those ten years?!
However, thinking about how she had forgotten to ask, and that it wasn’t even a given that Mo Sha would tell her, he was being so spiteful and would probably ignore her too, so she thought about it for a moment before deciding to forget it in the end.
“Mm, Ya Guang and Little Roar, for the rest of this time, you can only remain in my Contracted Space.” Sima You Yue said.
“Alright, Master.” Ya Guang agreed readily.
Little Roar came in front of Sima You Yue, saying, “Yue Yue, why don’t’ I just remain outside. It’s too boring inside the Contracted Space. There’s no meaning for me to stay inside!”
“Not possible!” Sima You Yue kept Little Roar inside the Contracted Space first before Ya Guang obediently went in himself.
“Ling Long, you can stay in the Interspatial Ring for a period of time.” Sima You Yue said as she kept Ling Long into her interspatial ring.
Seeing Little Roc’s bitter eyes, Sima You Yue helplessly said, “You have no Contracted Space, so you can only remain outside. However, you can’t reveal your strength to anyone, understand?”
Little Roc nodded his head as he flew to the roof of the house.
After settling these things, the Steward rushed over. Once he found her, he said “Young Master, something has happened.”
“What’s wrong?” Sima You Yue quickly opened the door and asked the moment she heard that something had happened.
“Young Master, the Book Pavilion has suddenly disappeared!” The steward anxiously reported.
When Sima You Yue heard that it was merely this, she relaxed, saying, “No problem with that, it was me.”
“Huh?” The steward as stunned.
“That was an artifact that Grandfather had left to me so I merely kept it away.” Sima You Yue said, “Let men build a new Book Pavilion while they’re constructing the houses.”
Although the steward did not really understand, since she said that there was no problem, he decided not to worry about it anymore.
Once the steward had left, Sima You Yue opened the door. Thinking about how Sima Lie had said through the Sound Stone that there was the presence of a book that she had not yet read, she decided not to cultivate and picked up the book.
“Raging Inferno Blow; what kind of book is this?” Sima You Yue saw the words written on the front. She did not know why Sima Lie had placed the book and Sound Stone together.
She suddenly thought of the time where Sima Lie had used the Great Raging Inferno Blade during his battle with Sima Kai. Could it be that he learnt it from this book?
