Chapter 437: The Great Moon Crisis
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The next morning, birds were chirping and hopping around on the tree branches outside of the mountain cave. A squirrel ran down the pine tree beside the mountain cave to pick up fallen fruit at the cave entrance, but it was startled by the sounds coming from inside the cave and scuttled back up the tree.
The sounds of footsteps rang out, then Yan Liqiang and Selena erged from the mountain cave.
Yan Liqiang got up a lot later than usual, compared to when he was training alone. Needless to say, sleeping in for a few more hours occasionally wasn’t that bad at all.
Yan Liqiang’s face was glowing and he was grinning mischievously. Beside him, Selena’s gorgeous face was tinged with red.
In his great mood, Yan Liqiang only realized that it was a lovely spring day at the valley he’d been training in. He took in a deep breath of fresh air in the valley, then grabbed Selena’s slender waist and asked, “Nana, in which direction is the Great Moon Tribe?”
After a night together, Yan Liqiang had started calling Selena by an endearing na.
Selena observed the sun’s location and the valley terrain. “Mount Jade Dragon is vast and we’re in the deeper parts where people rarely set foot. Our Great Moon Tribe is probably this way...” Selena pointed to the east. “If we go in this direction, I’ll know where to go once we reach a more familiar location...”
“Great, hold on tight then!” As soon as Yan Liqiang finished speaking, he embraced Selena and soared high up into the sky. Yan Liqiang stepped on the precipitous cliffs and sped in the direction Selena pointed to with lightning speed.
Strong wind blew against Selena’s face. She could feel Yan Liqiang’s powerful arms and the terrifying speed they were moving at. The heroic feeling of traversing across the cliffs and having everything beneath your feet brought excitent to Selena. She couldn’t help but wrap her arms tighter around him and lay her head against his shoulder. She moved her lips closer to Yan Liqiang’s ear, then gently whispered against the howling wind. “Brother Long...”
With a beauty in his arms while sprinting, Yan Liqiang responded, “What’s wrong?”
“Will you stay on Mount Jade Dragon?”
“I may not stay too long on Mount Jade Dragon. It’ll only be another two months at most because I still have other things to attend to!”
“Will we see each other again after you escort back to the Great Moon Tribe?”
“As long as fate wills it to be so, we shall et again even at the end of the world!”
“Does Brother Long think we are fated?”
“Fate lies in the heart. As long as you will it, so will fate!” Yan Liqiang looked at the lush mountains beneath his feet and a strange smile appeared on his face. He didn’t know much about the Mount Jade Dragon before he ca here. Now that he was here and had t Selena, he realized that there was more to this place than what t the eye through the information he gathered from her.
The ancient proverb: ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’ was the most accurate way to describe their battle with the Shatu people. Since they were plotting sothing against the Mount Jade Dragon, then Yan Liqiang shouldn’t let them do whatever they pleased here.
“Selena knows that Brother Long is a man capable of great things. There’s a saying in our Great Moon Tribe that the skylarks will never get in the way of the male eagles just to fly with them. Likewise, the won of the Great Moon Tribe are sensible skylarks. I shall be content to know that Brother Long will rember when you return to Mount Jade Dragon next ti!” Selena let out a soft sigh beside his ear.
“I feel that I am deeply connected to this place through fate. I shall visit more often in the future!”
Upon hearing Yan Liqiang’s words, a sweet smile appeared on Selena’s face before she planted a big kiss on his cheek.
...
Yan Liqiang traveled very quickly on his feet. In just less than half an hour, Selena started yelling excitedly in his arms. She pointed to a waterfall that was gushing down from the snow on the mountain peak like white silk under the sunlight.
“That’s the Thousand Feet Waterfall, Brother Long! If we go along the mountain ridge and go across the mountain, we will reach the Great Moon Tribe’s settlent!”
“Great!” Yan Liqiang continued dashing in the direction Selena pointed to. Just when he was going to cross the mountain that she ntioned, a black column of smoke suddenly rose into the sky. It ca from where the Great Moon Tribe was gathered. One could still easily spot it even from a hundred li away.
“Ah, sothing must have happened to our Great Moon Tribe...!” Selena’s expression contorted as her voice imdiately turned anxious.
“Don’t be afraid, we’ll be there soon! I’m here!” Selena felt as though she was imbued with the mysterious power in Yan Liqiang’s firm but calm voice and imdiately cald down. When she thought of how Yan Liqiang could single-handedly wipe out a hundred fiendish Shatu people in just the blink of an eye yesterday, she was able to relax a bit even though she was still anxious.
After Yan Liqiang said that, he imdiately increased his speed by fifty percent. The wind blowing against their face was so strong that Selena couldn’t even open her eyes.
Yan Liqiang looked up at the sky while sprinting. The reconnaissance satellite code-nad ‘Fiery-Eyed Golden Falcon’ was already flying toward the black smoke. Monts later, he received a ssage from the sky.
There were three key points in the ssage — firstly, there was a big fire. Secondly, there was a big crowd of several thousand people fighting against each other. Thirdly, many among the crowd were wearing sa attire with those Shatu people whom Yan Liqiang killed yesterday...
Just these three key points were enough to make Yan Liqiang understood what was going on at the Great Moon Tribe.
Using a shorter amount of ti than what Selena had imagined, both of them finally arrived at a peak which was seven or eight li away from the Great Moon Tribe’s settlent. On there, they observed the situation of where the rolling smoke was coming from in the distance...
