Chapter 404: Chapter 404 Magic Tomb Protection_1

Gazing into Ye You’s eyes that were as bright as stars, a warm touch of emotion rose in Qin Sisi’s heart. She nodded firmly and said, "I trust you, I’ll give you ti."

As their eyes t, there were unspoken agreents and promises, warm and sincere.

Ye You also felt peaceful in his heart. Qin Sisi’s trust was the most important thing to him.

Qin Sisi turned her head to look back at her parents’ graves, fell silent for a mont before saying worryingly, "I’m just a little concerned, I fear that if I don’t visit for a long ti, the grave might be destroyed, because after my parents’ death, this land belonged to others."

There was no dedicated cetery in Qin Sisi’s hotown; the dead were buried in their own fields.

But when the owner of the land died, it would be divided among others, and surely the next owners wouldn’t like a grave on their land. It would be fine if there were descendants to look after the site, but if it was neglected for a long ti, the new owners would most likely level the tomb.

Understanding Qin Sisi’s worry, Ye You consoled in a soft voice, "Don’t worry, I can set up a barrier here to prevent others from causing damage."

Qin Sisi was surprised and delighted: "Really?"

Ye You replied softly, "When have I ever lied to you?"

Upon saying this, Ye You raised his claw, murmuring spells in his mind. A ball of purple dark light erged from his hand, drifted slowly towards the tomb, engulfing it.

Several minutes later, the purple dark light gradually integrated with the grave and disappeared. The tombstone looked no different than before.

Qin Sisi’s eyes were fixed on the purple radiance. Taking advantage of her distraction, Ye You bit his claw, dropping a bead of blood onto the soil in front of him.

Now under a spell, his mana was limited. The barrier he could create would only last for a year. He wasn’t sure if he could co back here in a year’s ti to re-establish the barrier, so he infused his blood into the magic barrier.

The magical blood containing the Power of Phoenix could significantly prolong the effectiveness of the barrier.

However, Ye You didn’t plan to tell Qin Sisi this, firstly out of fear of alarming her, and secondly, for fear that she would worry if she saw him bleed.

After these tasks, Ye You said to Qin Sisi, "Let’s wait here. I have a feeling that ghosts will appear tonight."

Qin Sisi was taken aback, asking hastily, "You sensed them?"

Ye You responded solemnly, "I had a slight feeling when I first arrived this morning, I’m confident in it."

Qin Sisi thought about it, the appearance of ghosts in a cetery should be quite normal.

So she nodded and said, "Ok, I don’t have anywhere else to go anyway, so let’s wait here."

Finishing her words, Qin Sisi sat down bravely on the snow in front of her parents’ graves, chatting softly with Ye You.

There were several other graves scattered from different families around. People ca intermittently to pay their respects, worshipped hastily for a while, burnt a few yellow papers, and then left.

After two won in their forties finished paying their respects, packed up and prepared to leave, they turned their heads and saw Qin Sisi sitting in front of the tomb, which they found strange.

The one with short hair asked, "Eh? Whose child is that? Why is she sitting on the ground? Isn’t she afraid of catching a cold? Perhaps she’s too grief-stricken, shall we go over and check on her?"

The woman with braids quickly stopped the one with short hair, lowering her voice to say, "Don’t go, it’s so-and-so’s daughter from our village, her father died when she was ten and her mother got sick and died last year."

The woman with short hair had a look of sympathy on her face and said, "Oh, she’s very pitiful."

The woman with braids scoffed and continued, "What’s there to pity! Everyone says she’s responsible for her parents’ death."

The woman with the short hair looked at Qin Sisi skeptically and challenged, "Surely not, this girl looks decent."

The woman with braids disdainfully retorted, "What can you tell from the looks! Who knows what she does out there!"

Hearing her companion say this, the woman with short hair no longer expressed her kindness to Qin Sisi. The two won arrived at the edge of the cetery, each getting on their bikes preparing to leave.

The woman with braids pushed down hard on the pedal of her bike, whether it was because the snow was too slippery or she didn’t balance well, she suddenly lost her balance and fell onto the cold snowy ground, her right buttock making painful contact with the ground.

Seeing this, the woman with short hair ran over to help her up, asking anxiously if she was hurt.

The woman with braids, getting up from the snow, dusted herself off, rubbing her sore bottom. Even though there was a slight lingering pain, she was still able to move.

Grumbling a while, she glared in the direction of Qin Sisi, implying as if her fall was Qin Sisi’s fault.

The one with short hair consoled, "Alright, alright, why bla the girl for your carelessness? Let’s go ho and rest!"

It was then the woman with braids finally cald down, riding away on their bikes together.

Ye You turned his head, watching the departing figures of the two won, a glint of icy light flashed in his eyes and he snorted silently.

Those insinuations said behind her back were heard clearly by Ye You, although Qin Sisi missed them, due to the distance.

The woman with braids did not feel anything wrong at first when she reached ho. But in the evening, her butt began to ache terribly, unable to stand, sit or even lie down.

Seeing her condition, her family had to take her to the hospital.

The examination showed a comminuted fracture of the hip bone, a surgery was required. She needed bed rest after the operation and could only get out of bed after resting for a full hundred days.

That’s a story for later.

On the third day of the lunar new year, Qin Sisi and Ye You stayed all day in front of her parents’ grave.

When they got tired of sitting, they got up and moved around. When they got hungry, they nibbled on so offerings left behind in front of the graves.

Qin Sisi was told from a young age, that after eating food offered during grave visits, one’s courage would increase.

Whether this saying was true or not, it’s difficult to verify, but at this mont, Qin Sisi genuinely wished that her courage would increase.

As the night deepened, coldness intensified, Qin Sisi sat in the snow in front of the grave holding Ye You.

The pair had ceased their conversation, solely concentrating on observing and listening to the surroundings.

This was the wilderness, inhabited by no one, aside from the howling wind, no other sounds could be heard.

However, just after midnight, Qin Sisi started hearing rustling sounds.

The sounds were not far, they seed to be coming from a grave about twenty ters away.

Qin Sisi and Ye You exchanged glances. They slowly stood up and cautiously started walking towards the tomb.

The new moon in the night sky was curved like a hook, with the snowy ground reflecting so moonlight, the surrounding could still be vaguely made out.
