"I’m aware of the situation, girl. Since Zhuge Feng saved your life, I’ll naturally spare the Inferno Sect this once. That old bastard Zhuge Ao may have escaped, but he’s very dangerous, so you need to be careful. Don’t go to remote places alone, understand?" Ouyang Xuan spoke like a father, reminding her of things to be cautious about.
"I understand, Uncle."
"Youyou, Ye Sanshao is a dangerous man, and it’s best you keep your distance from him. You can like any man in the world, but Ye Sanshao is an exception. Do you understand what I an?"
"Why?" Shangguan You naturally knew Ye Sanshao was dangerous, but why would Ouyang Xuan say such a thing? Did he also know Ye Sanshao? What kind of existence was Ye Sanshao, exactly?
"You will know in the future. Ye Sanshao is devoid of emotion. He won’t fall in love with any woman in this world. Getting involved with him will only lead to endless troubles. The Ye Family isn’t as simple as it appears on the surface," Ouyang Xuan mumbled ambiguously before reluctantly hanging up. He longed to see his own daughter, but he couldn’t et her, nor could he call her; he could only wait for her to take the initiative to call him.
Damn the Shangguan Family, damn Shangguan Hao, damn Shangguan Zhi! If not for them, he wouldn’t be spending New Year’s with just ngjie. Youyou would surely have been with them too.
The night was quiet, yet the entire villa remained brightly lit, with people coming and going. New Year’s cos only once a year, so many chose to stay up all night. mbers of the Shangguan Family and the Yu Family rarely had the chance to gather in the evening, so they all decided to stay up together.
After securing her room door, Shangguan You flashed into her space. Not only did she have to concoct dicines, but she also needed to train in the dicine King Canon, practice the Water Chains and talismans, and search for the Earth Spirit Bead. With no clues concerning the whereabouts of the Earth Spirit Bead, she had to spend ample ti reading through the books on the third floor to delve into these supernatural matters.
The cheerful, pale blue Water Elent on her index finger danced continuously, transforming into various shapes, enveloping the Spirit Fruits in the space, and whisking them directly into her hands.
From initial unfamiliarity to growing proficiency, she now only needed a thought for the Water Elent to erge quickly. Shangguan You hadn’t forgotten how the Water Elent had appeared timid before Ye Sanshao and Zhuge Ao. Thus, she resolved to practice ceaselessly. If she encountered those two again and the elent proved so useless, she’d be better off not using it at all.
Shangguan You flew out from the space and leaped swiftly down from the window, her body speeding towards the snowy mountain peak.
"Water Elent, co out!" Shangguan You called softly. The pale blue elent surged from her fingertips, instantly tinging the snowy ground with a faint layer of water.
Wherever the Water Elent passed, the white snowflakes instantly turned into droplets, rging one by one into the Water Elent. With the addition of the lted snow, the originally pale blue Water Elent now contained small chunks of ice.
"’It also has the function of lting and rging,’ Shangguan You mumbled to herself as new applications for the Water Elent ford in her mind.
"Ice Seal Thousand Miles!" Shangguan You shouted lightly. The world around her instantly froze solid, the entire space turning a crystal-clear, pale blue. This is Ice Seal Thousand Miles, a skill beyond Water Chains, she realized. It’s a new function that evolved because the Water Elent absorbed ice.
Shangguan You was thrilled by her new discovery.
"Thaw!" she commanded. CRACKLE! With a loud, crisp sound, the frozen world shattered instantly, slowly lting back into the form of the Water Elent.
"Ice Seal Thousand Miles!"
"Water Chains!"
"Thaw!"
"Return!"
Alone in the snowy mountains late at night, Shangguan You continuously practiced with the Water Elent, growing more excited the more she practiced. With these abilities, once I find the other spiritual pearls, I’ll beco even more powerful! she thought. Then I’ll definitely crush Ye Sanshao under my heel, teach him for being so arrogant and for provoking !
"Help, fire! Soone, quick, put out the fire!"
"Put out the fire!"
Piercing cries echoed through the night, sharp and urgent. Shangguan You looked toward the source of the sound and saw a world aglow with red. Flas had broken out unexpectedly and, fed by the wind, grew fiercer. What had started in the barbecue area had spread wildly.
Now it blazed uncontrollably, rapidly spreading towards the chess club. The fire was so vast and wind-fueled that in a short ti, the entire mountaintop was engulfed in a red inferno.
Oh no! Grandpa, Father, Eldest Uncle... them! A terrible premonition flashed through Shangguan You’s mind, and she imdiately sped towards the chess club. The raging fire had already alard many people, and the hotel’s ergency firefighting staff were quickly working to extinguish the blaze.
"Grandpa, Eldest Uncle, Father, Brother Qing!" Shangguan You cried out in desperation as she looked at the chess club engulfed in flas, completely inaccessible.
"Girl, get back! It’s dangerous here!" Shangguan Qing yelled from inside upon hearing Shangguan You’s voice.
"Youyou, the Shangguan Family will depend on you from now on! Hurry and get out of here! Find Old Man Lin!" Shangguan Zhi’s anxious voice called out. He truly hadn’t expected the fire to erupt so suddenly, leaving them no chance to escape. Everyone from the Yu Family and the Shangguan Family was in there.
"Girl, your father has failed you. Hurry and leave!" Shangguan Hao’s voice ca from within. He felt he had failed his daughter.
"No, I won’t leave! I’ll rescue you all!" Shangguan You’s eyes brimd with tears. Who set this fire? Who wants to completely eradicate the Shangguan Family and the Yu Family from this world? No matter who it is, I will never let them go. I will make them wish they were dead!
"Girl, go quickly!"
"This fire is too large, and it was deliberately set! Get out, it’s dangerous here!"
Shangguan You watched the chaos of people rushing to fight the fire, listened to the desperate shouts, screams, and sounds of weeping from inside, and observed the building engulfed in thick flas. Her deep eyes turned cold. No matter what, I have to get them out, she resolved.
