Pain-
This was the most glaring thought once Sima You Yue regained consciousness.
The pain this time was comparable to the last time where she was struck by lightning. However, she was wounded heavier than the last time.
This was because she realised that, apart from the wounds on her body, she still had the wounds she sustained in the void. Her own space was actually thrown into disarray. She actually lost contact with her inspatial ring and spirit pagoda!
This also meant that Bei Gong Tang and the others were completely unable to come out!
She was a little worried, but she was rather weak, and was only conscious for a short while before she blacked out again.
Once she regained consciousness again, she was able to feel the spirit pagoda for a moment. It was only after she gained contact with it that she relaxed.
It was a good thing. Although she was still unable to open the spirit pagoda and her interspatial ring, she was still in contact with them. This meant that once she recovered, she would be able to open it again in no time.
She could feel her dry throat being quenched by ice cold water, and her hot and anxious body was largely comforted. Her heavy eyelids slowly opened.
You’ve awakened?
A crisp voice was heard from beside her.
Sima You Yue could feel that she was in a carriage. Her body swayed and a delicate and pretty face appeared in front of her, along with a pair of bright sparkly eyes.
She had yet to speak when that girl started chattering and saying everything that she wanted to know.
I am Zhuo Ma, and my Father is Zhuo Ran. We found you in the sand two days ago. At that time, you were about to be buried by the sand. Now, we’ve already left the desert and are heading to Evernew City.
Was she the one who saved her?
Thank you.
She opened her mouth to say, and her voice was incredibly raspy.
You better not speak. My Father fed you a few pills, but they’re not high in rank, so your body isn’t well yet.
Zhuo Ma siad,
Come, drink some more.
Zhuo Ma brought the water to Sima You yue’s lips and fed her two mouthfuls.
Actually, she was quite shocked when she saw Sima You Yue’s wounds. Her Father has said before that Sima You Yue’s entire body was almost broken. Although he had given her some medication, they were merely third ranked healing pills. It was unknown how effective it would be for such severe wounds.
However, her wounds were healing these two days with a speed that was visible to the naked eye. This shocked everyone. Even Zhuo Ran said that it was not cheap.
Sima You Yue drank some water. Zhuo Ma wanted to say something, but she didn’t ask anything. She said,
You should rest well. We still have a few days before we reach Evernew City. I’m going out first.
After speaking, she smiled at Sima You Yue, pulled the carriage hanging screen door and left.
Sima You Yue waited for her to leave before feeling again for her connection with her spirit pagoda. It was only after she ascertained that it was fine before she came back to her senses and recalled what had happened.
She had spent less than a minute in that void after she fell through the portal, but her wounds were incredibly serious. Furthermore, she had been tempering her body all these years with spirit beasts, so she was a lot stronger than the average person. However, if it was someone else, they would have been torn into pieces in less than a second.
It was lucky that she had the compass in her hand the moment she entered that rift in space and that her reaction was quick. The moment she heard that sound, she inserted her spirit energy into it. If she had not prepared this beforehand, or had a slower reaction, she would never have been able to leave there.
When she recalled that sound, she was a little curious. That sound was the sound of battle. What rank was the person who was battling that he was able to affect space?
Although she was in the void for just one minute, it was unknown how far off she had strayed. Furthemore, she had no idea where she was. As a result, she had no idea how far away she was from the Divine Devil Valley.
After Zhuo Ma went out, she heard her sitting down on the carriage talking to Zhuo Ran.
Father, he’s awake.
Zhuo Ma said.
How is he?
Zhuo Ran asked.
He’s already recovered quite a lot.
Zhuo Ma replied,
It’s the fastest I’ve ever seen anyone recover.
Clan Leader, we’ll be reaching Evernew City in two days time. We’ll be dropping him off at an inn there, right?
Zhuo Yang said.
Yeah. It will be the Jian clan’s territory after Evernew City. If we bring him along, we might implicate him.
Zhuo Ran said.
But Father, he’s so handsome and that City Lord of Evernew City is quite gay as well. Since he’s so heavily injured, will it be bad if we just leave him in the city?
Zhuo Ma said in disagreement.
But we received news yesterday that the Jiang Clan is planning to intercept us along the road. If we take him along, will we be held back? What if we are all killed because of him?
Zhuo Yang said.
Shut up, Zhuo Yang!
Zhuo Ma scolded him softly,
He is someone we saved. How could you say that? If we die, it’s because we were too weak. How could you blame it on others!
Zhuo Yang, your older cousin is right. You better not say this in front of others.
Zhuo Ran said,
Right, what is that lord called?
Ah, I forgot to ask.
Zhuo Ma slapped her forehead and said irritatedly.
Hmph. I wasn’t speaking rubbish.
Zhuo Yang said,
That person appeared in the barren desert for no rhyme or reason. Furthermore we didn’t detect any movement of spiritual energy on his body, so he isn’t even a spirit master. Bringing a common person along, what would we be if not held back.
Zhuo Yang, if you’re afraid to die then you can leave now. You don’t have to stay with us!
Zhuo Ma cried out angrily.
Zhuo Yang was Zhuo Ma’s younger cousin. Although their relationship wasn’t that good, she rarely chided him like this. Right now, he was incensed because she was scolding him because of this outsider.
Isn’t he just some pretty boy? What are you protecting him like this? I’m just thinking for everyone’s sake! Are you going to risk everyone’s life just because of this pretty boy?
You’re spouting rubbish!
Zhuo Ma was infuriated as well, saying,
In any case, we are not going to throw him at Evernew City. I don’t agree.
Zhuo Ran never thought that his daughter would be so resolute. He thought it over, saying,
Let’s do this. Once we pass Evernew City, we’ll put him at the next place.
Hmph-
Zhuo Ma snorted coldly. It could be counted as an acceptance of Zhuo Ran’s idea.
Thinking about how she would have to see Zhuo Yang’s face if she remained outside, she opened the carriage door and went in.
She never thought that Sima You Yue would not be sleeping. She saw her eyes that were suffused with understanding and Zhuo Ma said a little awkwardly,
That… My cousin has this kind of personality. Don’t take it personally.
Sima You Yue.
Sima You Yue said.
Eh?
Zhuo Ma was stunned. It was only then that she realised Sima You Yue was telling her her name. She said with a smile,
You Yue, how could you appear at the desert? How did you get injured? Where do you live?
Although she felt that Sima You Yue was a good person by looking into her eyes, she still wanted to know how she got injured.
Do you know how far the Divine Devil Valley is?
Sima You Yue asked.
Divine Devil Valley? We don’t have any Divine Devil Valley here.
Zhuo Ma replied.
