Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Facing it Together With You _1
The yellow paper and Joss Paper in front of the tomb had finally turned completely to ash within the flas, marking the end of Qin Sisi’s Qingming tomb-sweeping ceremony.
She slowly stood up, looked at the radiant setting sun in the sky, and sighed. Her hoarse voice turning towards Ye You, she said, "Let’s leave."
Ye You looked up at Qin Sisi but didn’t budge.
Despite the lancholy mood Qin Sisi was in, she could sense sothing was off with Ye You.
"What’s wrong?" She asked, sowhat puzzled.
Ye You paused before replying: "Sisi, you go ahead. I’ll co find you tomorrow."
Qin Sisi looked at Ye You in disbelief, and slowly squatted down again. She asked Ye You as she stared into his purple eyes, "Where are you going?"
Ye You remained silent.
Qin Sisi looked at him for a while, then defiantly sat down next to him on the ground. "If you’re not going, neither am I," she stated.
Ye You’s expression flickered, and he said sowhat helplessly, "Sisi, there may be danger tonight. Promise
you’ll leave first. I’ll co back to you as soon as I’ve dealt with everything."
Qin Sisi’s expression turned serious. For Ye You to show such caution, things seed to be severe.
She put her arm around him and held him close, saying gently, "If that’s the case, I should be by your side."
Ye You shook his head, showing a hint of frustration: "Sisi, listen to . This level of battle is not sothing you can participate in."
With a calm gaze, Qin Sisi slowly but firmly said, "What if I insist on participating?"
Ye You’s eyes darkened, "You might die."
Even though it was only a possibility, Ye You still felt a wave of profound sadness piercing through his heart.
"What about you?" Qin Sisi asked, disbelievingly.
Ye You gave a bitter smile, "If I’m still alive, how could I let you die?"
Qin Sisi instinctively tightened her grip on Ye You’s arm. Feeling her tension, Ye You looked up at her.
As their eyes t, Qin Sisi suddenly realized that the situation could be far more serious than she had anticipated. Sowhat unsettled, she asked, "Is this really that hard to handle?"
Ye You nodded, "Very hard."
Qin Sisi furrowed her brow, "Shall we join hands? Is there no chance of victory at all?"
Ye You hesitated before responding, "There is a chance of victory, but it is slim."
After a mont of consideration, Qin Sisi asked urgently, "Can’t we hide? Can’t we keep away?"
Ye You shook his head, "We can’t hide. If he really cos, he’ll surely have a magic tool that can track ."
Since there was no way to hide, the only option was to fight.
Qin Sisi made up her mind, held Ye You closer, and told him, looking into his purple eyes, "No matter how dangerous it is, I will face it with you."
Ye You’s heart trembled. Qin Sisi’s determined expression projected clearly into his eyes and heart. Even long after, Ye You often recalled this perilous night. The powerful magic and the dust of battle had turned into ashes, yet Qin Sisi’s unfaltering resolve and courage in the face of danger were deeply etched into his heart, both bitter and sweet.
The darkness of night deepened. The early spring days were slightly warm, but the chill of the night reminded people of the vibrant cold of spring.
At midnight, a bolt of lightning pierced through the pitch-black sky, followed by the rumbling of thunder.
"Rumble..."
After the thunder, the curtain-like night sky seed to be ripped apart by the lightning, revealing a light grey void which grew larger and larger.
They’re here!
Both Ye You and Qin Sisi looked up, their faces grave as they watched the light grey void.
A few minutes later, a burly silhouette descended from the void.
However, he didn’t plumt down, but descended slowly, as if sothing was supporting him.
After the silhouette erged, the light grey void closed up once more, leaving the night sky to appear as a seamless curtain, as if nothing had ever happened.
The silhouette landed smoothly on the ground, just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief and stretch his muscles, he froze and abruptly sprang to the side.
The next second, an explosion sounded where he’d just been standing, leaving a huge hole in the ground.
The man’s face changed, and he thought to himself how lucky he was. Thanks to his extensive combat experience, he’d sensed the danger just in ti, or else if the weapon had hit him, he would have been dead or severely injured.
anwhile, Ye You shook his head with a silent sigh. He had intended to catch the enemy unaware and injure him as soon as he arrived. He didn’t expect the enemy to respond so quickly. The Fire Thunder Pill was wasted.
"Who dares ambush this General? Show yourself!" The man, who had just descended from the sky, bellowed out.
His answer was not in the form of a voice, but several streaks of purple light.
Imdiately after, four Ziwei Heaven Fires began to burn in a circle around him, the purple glow illuminating the area.
Seeing these four purple flas, the man was shocked and imdiately gripped his Giant Spirit Blade tighter.
Qin Sisi, hiding behind her parents’ tomb under the concealnt of the Invisible Bubble protecting her, peeked out with the aid of the light from the Ziwei Heaven Fire to take a look at the man who had fallen from the sky.
He was large and burly, looking extrely strong and powerful. His body was covered in gleaming armor that had a sense of invincibility, as though it could resist any weapon.
However, his expression seed sowhat anxious. His eyes were wandering around in panic, scanning everything vigilantly.
Under the purple light, a pitch-black cat walked out leisurely. The light of the Ziwei Heaven Fire cast a faint shadow on him from different angles.
"Mo Long, long ti no see," Ye You looked up, his pair of purple eyes flickering with a stern chill.
The man known as Mo Long broke his expression montarily. When he recognized that the figure before him was just a cat, he let out a sigh of relief and responded loudly, "Your Royal Highness, it’s been a while."
Your Royal Highness?!
Qin Sisi’s heart skipped a beat as she incredulously looked at Ye You.
Ye You’s eyes flickered, and he asked in a cold voice, "You didn’t co here just to reminisce, did you?"
Mo Long gave a dark smile and said, "I have been ordered by the Regent Sage Ruler to bring your Royal Highness back to the Demon Sacred Realm."
"Regent Sage Ruler? He does not even possess the Phoenix Scepter, how dare he call himself a Sage Ruler?" Ye You retorted, his tone growing colder.
Mo Long’s expression changed several tis, his eyes darting around before he let out a forced laugh and said, "You are both of the Jiuxi Family, connected by blood, why split us and them? Royal Highness, please co back with . I believe any misunderstandings between you and the Regent Sage Ruler can be resolved."
His tone was dipping and rising, trying to sound sincere. Mo Long was speaking and placing his right hand over his heart, bowing deeply towards Ye You.
