After a while, Sima Youyue woke up. The pillow was soaked with her tears.
"You yue, you're awake?" Sima You Lin asked when he saw that she was awake.
Sima Youyue wanted to stretch forth a hand to rub her forehead, but she realised that she was holding onto Sima You Lin's hand tightly.
She let go and saw that there were purple scratches on his hand. She said apologetically, "Sorry, I scratched you."
"No problem." Sima You Lin smiled lightly, asking, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Sima Youyue sat up and said, "I'm fine. What about Chongming? "
"He said that he was going to scout and left." Sima You Lin said.
"Oh. What's wrong with me? "She rubbed her forehead, trying to relieve the pain in her head.
"Don't you know what happened to you?" Sima You Lin asked.
Sima Youyue shook her head and said, "I only remember hearing a roar. I don't remember anything after that."
Sima You Lin told her everything that happened afterwards. When he heard that his roar had caused the water in the underground river to be pushed back, his mouth fell open.
"I'm that amazing?" She blinked her eyes, her face full of narcissism.
He didn't know why, but when Sima You Lin saw her like this, the little knot in his heart immediately dispersed.
"So it was Crimson Flame who saved me." Sima Youyue said. Suddenly, she screamed.
"What's wrong?" Sima You Lin asked anxiously.
"I remember that when I woke up, I saw a handsome guy. I even called him Crimson Flame. I always thought that I was dreaming, so it was real!" Sima You Yue said in shock.
Sima You Lin's face was full of black lines as he looked at Sima You Yue. He had initially thought that she was feeling unwell or that something had happened, which was why her reaction was so big. He never thought that it was because of this.
After a while, Chongming came back with some injuries.
"Chongming, are you injured?" Sima Youyue jumped off the bed and looked at Chongming.
"Just a minor injury." Chongming said.
Sima Youyue had rested enough. She put the bed away and walked to Chongming's side. She pulled his arm and saw a hideous wound from his shoulder all the way to his crutch.
"How did you get hurt?" Sima Youyue said as she took out a pill and fed it to Chongming. Then, she took out some disinfectant that she had concocted during her free time and cleaned the wound. She sprinkled some medicinal powder and bandaged the wound.
"Master said that he wanted you to see the creature. I thought that the road ahead was too dangerous, so I said that I would go and take a look first." Chongming said, "But I didn't expect that I would get injured not long after."
"Red Flame wants me to meet that creature?" Sima Youyue looked at Chongming, not knowing why Red Flame wanted her to do this.
That creature had been trapped for so many years, and even her master couldn't get close to it, but Chi Yan wanted her to see it?
Wasn't he afraid that the creature would slap her to death?
"His Excellency said that it would be good for you to go." Chongming said.
"Alright." She believed that Crimson Flame wouldn't harm her. "But you and master can't get close. How am I supposed to go to that place?"
"His Excellency said that you just have to walk forward." Chongming conveyed Crimson Flame's words.
"Really, can't you just tell me directly?" Sima Youyue grumbled, then looked at Chongming and Sima You Lin, saying, "It seems safer here. Why don't you wait for me here?"
"No way." Sima You Lin rejected. "It's so dangerous ahead. How can we let you go alone?"
Chongming nodded, saying, "Also, once you leave here, this place may not be safe."
Just now, the water in the underground river had been pushed back by her roar. Who knew if she left, the strange water would come back again.
Sima Youyue thought about it and agreed. If they really met with any danger later, she would just keep them in the spirit pagoda. She agreed to let them accompany her.
"But, where do we go now?" Sima Youyue looked around. They didn't even know where the heart of the array was. How were they going to meet that creature?
"This is a difficult problem." Sima You Lin said.
"Use your heart to feel." Crimson Flame's voice suddenly sounded.
Sima Youyue was stunned and closed her eyes to feel. Unknowingly, the black spiritual energy in her body began to flow. That aura was emitted from her body again.
"Eh?" She opened her eyes and looked at the two of them, asking, "Did you hear that sound?"
"What sound?" Sima You Lin and Chongming shook their heads. They only felt the dark aura from Sima Youyue's body, but they didn't hear anything.
Sima Youyue thought about it, saying, "I think I heard something calling out to me. It might be that creature. I think I know how to get there. Let's go. "
She led the two of them in a direction. When they met a fork in the road, she closed her eyes to feel and pointed out a path. After walking for half a day, they finally walked out of the maze-like tunnel.
"It's a little strange." Sima You Lin suddenly stopped and said not long after they stepped out of the maze.
"What's wrong?" Sima Youyue stopped and asked.
"Don't you feel that the temperature here is a little low?" Sima You Lin said.
As a spirit master, he had spiritual energy in his body. It was rare for him to feel cold or hot. However, when he came here, he felt so cold that his whole body was trembling.
"I don't feel anything!" Sima Youyue said while looking at Chongming. Chongming shook his head, saying, "Although the temperature is a little low, it's not cold."
"You Lin, are you okay?" Sima Youyue walked over and stretched forth a hand to touch his hand, saying, "Your temperature is so low."
"Maybe something here is affecting him." Chongming said.
"Why don't you …"
"I'm fine. We can continue." Sima You Lin interrupted her.
"Oh, the temperature is rising." Sima Youyue said when she felt that the temperature of Sima You Lin's hand had risen.
Sima You Lin suddenly felt a little unnatural, saying, "After you held my hand, I don't feel so cold anymore."
"Then let's continue like this." Sima Youyue said.
As such, she held Sima You Lin's hand and walked forward carefully.
Sima You Lin felt the softness in his hand and became restless.
"Look at the two sides." Chongming suddenly pointed at the dark wall and said.
Sima Youyue and Chongming placed the fireball near the wall and took a step back in shock when they saw what was on the wall.
"Why are there so many spirit beasts?" Sima Youyue said.
On the two sides of the wall, there were spirit beasts sitting quietly in crystals. It was as if they were sealed. There was no breath and no aura.
"These spirit beasts are at least sacred beasts." Chongming said as he looked at the spirit beasts.
Sima Youyue and the others could not tell, but they believed what Chongming said.
"Aren't there very few sacred beasts in the Yi Lin continent? Why are there so many here?" Sima You Lin said.
"I think that these are guardian beasts."
