Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 714: Just Short of Success 1

Chapter 714: Chapter 714: Just Short of Success _1

Tears instantly surged out like a deluge. Qin Sisi tightly held Ye You in her arms, stifling her sobs: "It is really you. I thought I would never see you again."

Ye You gently kissed Qin Sisi’s fair and supple neck, speaking in self-condemnation, "I’m sorry, I arrived late."

Qin Sisi vehently shook her head, "It’s not late. Seeing you again ans it’s not too late."

Ye You slightly lifted his head in Qin Sisi’s embrace, extended his fluffy paws to wipe her tears, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Only then did Qin Sisi realize that she was lying inside Ye You’s silver sphere. No wonder she felt so soft underneath when she was unconscious.

Recalling the faint green glow on her body when she woke up, she asked in a low voice, "Did you use the In the Spring Breeze just now?"

Ye You nodded and replied, "Hmm, your body is very weak. You need to recover your strength quickly."

While he was speaking, Ye You twisted his paw, placing two magical items before Qin Sisi, explaining, "I had to rush out, so I didn’t bring any food. You eat these two fruits first. They should help you recover quickly."

Supporting herself by the edge of the silver sphere, Qin Sisi sat up, hung her head, and took a closer look at the fruits Ye You put out. She held one of them and said, "This one looks like a mushroom. "

Ye You nodded, "Indeed, it’s a mushroom. It’s called the Crystal Mushroom."

The na was quite suitable. This mushroom was about ten centiters tall, the full body being in a transparent state. It indeed resembled a clear and transparent piece of crystal- looking absolutely beautiful.

The other fruit was sowhat smaller than an apple and was in a semi-transparent form, exuding a faint green color.

Ye You continued, "This is the Cui Ling fruit. This should be green, and the Crystal Mushroom is actually purple. But due to the lack of sunlight in my Portable Space, the colors of these plants have faded."

Qin Sisi placed these two extraordinary-looking food in her mouth. Not having eaten or had water for nearly three days, she was truly famished.

Then she discovered that these two foods were not just light in color, but their taste was also extrely bland. The Cui Ling fruit had a slight sourness, and the Crystal Mushroom was completely tasteless, as if she were eating ice.

Although the taste wasn’t good, the effects were remarkable. After a short while of eating, Qin Sisi felt refreshed, her dissipated strength returning to her body.

She nodded satisfactorily, saying to Ye You, "It’s really good. Why didn’t you let

eat it before? Were you hiding this from ?"

Ye You wore a bitter smile and said, "What would I hide from you? It’s just that the spiritual energy here is too scarce, and the fruit has not been able to mature. Only these two had ripened a few days ago."

During the days in the Demon Sacred Realm, these spiritual plants were planted in his Portable Space, typically each maturing in about a month. When Ye You was out training and couldn’t find food in ti, he would satiate his hunger with these fruits.

However, after becoming a part of the Human World, due to lack of spiritual artifacts, the speed of fruit maturation slowed down.

But as he tagged along with Qin Sisi, they didn’t lack for food, so Ye You did not take it to heart. A few days ago, the Crystal Mushroom and Cui Ling fruit finally ripened, which ca in handy here.

Regaining her strength, Qin Sisi had Ye You put away the silver sphere. Holding him, she stood on the ground and softly asked, "How did you find ?"

Ye You narrated his experiences of the past three days. He had been roving for a long while above this Underground Imperial Tomb. But he couldn’t pinpoint Qin Sisi’s exact location.

Moreover, he sensed that a formidable Formation was set up underground in this area, making it easy to enter but difficult to leave. Therefore, he didn’t dare to rashly enter underground.

It wasn’t until Qin Sisi felt her life force about to be entirely depleted, she called out to Ye You in desperation. The Blood Covenant concluded earlier between them finally ca into play.

Ye You sensed Qin Sisi’s plea, after which he was also able to judge her location. Hence, using the Burrow Escape, he entered the Underground Imperial Tomb, finding Qin Sisi with the sixth sense generated by the Blood Covenant, and pulled her back from the brink.

Qin Sisi was filled with both despair and comfort. She briefly told her experiences of the last few days to Ye You. Then, as an afterthought, she rembered the crucial point, "Has the midnight of July 15th co yet? Can we go back to the Demon Sacred Realm?"

The gloomy eyes of Ye You dimd as he softly responded, "It’s almost here, but we might not be able to return."

"Why?" Qin Sisi was taken aback and she stared at Ye You, looking shocked and anxious.

Ye You sighed and said, "I didn’t bring the mirror. We need the Ghost Spirit Power of the mirror to open the ti tunnel."

Qin Sisi slumped down her hands. She recalled that Ye You always had a mirror with him, but during their trip to Qian Zhou to assist the painter in burying the bones, that small mirror accidentally shattered.

Then, when they collected eighty-one Soul Powers ahead of their schedule, they thought they would surely use these for ti and space transition at ho. But who would have expected such a significant mishap midway?

And when Ye You found out about Qin Sisi’s accident, he rushed over imdiately. In his urgency, he overlooked the mirror.

"Can we get out? If we can get out, we should be able to find a mirror." Qin Sisi knew how eager Ye You was to return, how could she bear to make him wait another year?

Ye You still shook his head: "This tomb has a formidable Formation around it, it’s easy to get in, but hard to get out, and it’s quite large, it would take at least several hours to break it. Even if we get out, there won’t be enough ti."

Qin Sisi was stunned. From Ye You’s words, it seed like everything was lost.

A year’s worth of hard work was wasted at the very last mont.

Fearing that Qin Sisi would be too self-reproaching, Ye You comforted her with gentle words, "It’s alright, worst case, we wait for one more year."

Qin Sisi slowly shook her head. She couldn’t accept this reality. Ye You must have a lot to do in the Demon Sacred Realm. The longer the wait, the more unpredictable the future. Even though he had never spoken of it, she could feel his inner anxiety and pressure.

Ye You sighed without making a sound, lowering his head silently. Thinking of the current condition of the Demon Sacred Realm, his heart ached as if sliced by a knife.

He couldn’t bla the accident for happening too suddenly, but he could bla himself for not thinking carefully enough.

Even if he was very powerful, he couldn’t defy the cyclical laws of nature.

Was this what they called destiny?

Ye You buried his head in Qin Sisi’s bosom, virtually giving up all hope.

Qin Sisi held Ye You tightly, just like a wooden doll, she raised her head, casting her vacant gaze at the underground prison that had trapped them. Her unfocused eyes made a complete round, finally landing on the coffin in the middle of the hall. The golden phoenix engraved on the coffin shimred in the silvery glow of the Luminous Pearl.
