24 Temple
This time, the travel throughout the void was just fine without any accidents at all. The bubble that covered You Ye and I was totally different than the one that brought me to the ancient ruins. It didn't get crushed at all by the void pressure, it didn't fluctuate as if it was indestructible. The System was right still not working properly, I doubt it will be known what was the scroll You Ye had activated. Whatever it was it was clearly more amazing than that transfer array. At that thought, I couldn't help myself and let my mind wander about Shu Yi and Shu Er. I needed to find both girls, hopefully, they would awake soon.
Thanks to You Ye scroll I manage to escape. 'This girl is full of surprises'. I didn't know how to explain to her that I was okay and I could heal myself. Immersed in my thoughts didn't notice the beauty who was hugging me had a pale and bloody face until something sticky stuck into my skin, I was familiar with this kind of sensation, 'blood!'.
Yet again, another woman suffered because of me. Her tender and slender body were replaced by a sack of bones, only her beautiful face remained more or less like it was before, just a little older, pale and covered in blood.
'What happened?!'
I didn't care, I needed to save her.
"You Ye hang in there!" I shouted full of concern for this woman who pledged to pursue, to love me.
You Ye frail body was on the dirty ground, I was on top of her. I saw her eyes staring at me with a big smile.
"I knew the man I choose will not die so easi..ly" You Ye coughed more blood.
I used Death End on her, the result wasn't to my liking, her lifespan got severely damaged, half her life was gone. After a few rounds inspecting every part of her body with my soul left me speechless, her body constitution got beyond an infant. She was weak as a chicking, luckily her Core Foundation was okay, otherwise, she would face serious trouble. I sighed in relief, the body damage could be fixed with some food and pills.. as for the lifespan... there were some pills to extend them they were rare but not impossible to get them.
"You will be okay You Ye. Don't worry..."
"I know Brother Ye. We will find a way to heal your body."
I could see the worried look on You Ye face, it was not exactly easy to fix my body for other but for me, it was a piece of cake.
"I can heal myself. I will show it to you." I wouldn't mind showing all my abilities in front of You Ye, she paid too much for helping me. I tried to access my inventory but I couldn't. Whatever was the system doing it blocked all the functions... I knew for sure I had an awkward face right now.
You Ye slowly patted my head, "Brother Ye, I promised myself I won't leave you. I know what kind of condition you have right now, you don't have to put a false pretense. We will figure out thing slowly, for now, we should try to reset and see where we teleported to."
"You Ye it's not like that, I really can..."
Before I could finish what I was about to say, I felt You Ye sweet lips pressing against my own. This time she wasn't in a hurry to disappear, I lost myself in the kiss.
...
"Are you fine You Ye? We have been going on for hours already?" I asked full of concern. You Ye had wanted me to carry me but I used my Qi to flying along with her, which greatly surprised her. She started to believe more in me when I told her again that I could heal myself. Still, our pace was too slow, You Ye wasn't doing well with her body state.
"We should be nearby, the scroll was given to me by some old man as a payment." You Ye said panting slowly.
"An old man?" I asked raising my frown. This land sure if full of strange old men.
"Yes, the old man wanted to buy a stone I had in my possession, he traded it with this scroll. To be honest I thought I got a bargain at that time if the scroll did what he claimed to do. A few years ago I tried to use the scroll but it didn't do anything, I almost died back then. Only this time it worked."
"Perhaps it needed two persons to work? Or maybe your cultivation at that time was insufficient" I stated some facts.
'A life-saving scroll with no problem at all to cross through the void. Who would be willing to part with it? Trading it for a stone?' I turned my head to look at this crazy and perseverant young girl next to me. 'You got cheated You Ye' I uttered those words into my mind. I didn't want to openly call You Ye a fool. Was she supposed to be my girlfriend?
Before I knew we have arrived at a big lake. I could see a temple in the middle of the lake. half of it was submerged. 'A Greek temple?! What the hell is going on?' I turned to look at You Ye who had a strange face.
"What's wrong?" I asked frowning, this place was getting more and more mysterious.
"The old man told the truth... he said that walking north after using the scroll we will reach an ancient place..." You Ye paused, she started to tremble.
I grabbed You Ye skinny hands with my only hand.
"You Ye, did the old man said something more?"
She nodded her head. "Those who manage to attain it would own the world. Those were his last words before he disappeared before me."
"Own the world? Is this even possible? Did he say anything else?" I asked confused.
"No. But... since ancient times no one understood the mysteries of the Seeking Continent, who knows? Perhaps it's possible. In any case, we have already arrived at this point, we should check it out perhaps there is a chance we could again be normal."
I could see You Ye eyes glowing, they were filled with hope. I nodded to her.
