Chapter 480 (1/2)
Long Yi was startled. Rubbing his nose, he had else to say to the girl. He allowed her to leave the room, leaving Mist Fairy and himself in the room. Long Yi walked over to the bedside and sat down as he stared at Mist Fairy who was still in a coma. It seemed like this woman was sufficiently mysterious. Other than Mu Hanyan, he was afraid that no one else knew about her existence.
As for the ident.i.ty of Mu Hanyan and Mist Fairy, Long Yi was very curious about them. However, it was not that he didn't want to investigate their backgrounds. It was just that he had no way to investigate. Skynet Intelligence Organization had been investigating Mu Hanyan for several years now and they had yet to dig out any useful information. She seemed to have appeared on Blue Waves Continent ten years ago out of thin air. She used her ample funds to establish Beauty Shop. Her store sold female clothing which was sought after by lots of women. In just a few years' time, Beauty Shop opened up their branch stores in every part of the continent.
Thinking about Mu Hanyan's appearance, Mist Fairy's appearance was more sudden. No one had seen her before the change in rule happened in the Nalan Empire. Even Skynet had no information on her. However, Long Yi didn't know why, but whenever he saw her, he would feel a strong sense of familiarity. The problem was that no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't find a reason for the way he felt.
”I hope that you two are friends, not enemies.” Long Yi talked to himself. Regarding the matters he could not wrap his head around, he had no choice but to be careful and alert. Mu Hanyan was the first woman who was able to confuse Long Yi. He had no idea where their relations.h.i.+p started and the feelings between them were even more confusing. Were they lovers? Friends? Or were they enemies? He had no idea.
After thinking about it for a long time, Long Yi had even more questions. He thought about why Bai Yu was following Mist Fairy instead of Mu Hanyan. Unless Mu Hanyan gave Bai Yu instructions to follow Mist Fairy, it should not be beside Mist Fairy at all. Could it be that Bai Yu was actually Mist Fairy's magic pet? When Long Yi thought about it, Mist Fairy was more suitable to be Bai Yu's owner as Bai Yu was an extremely n.o.ble magic pet.
When Long Yi was deep in his thoughts, Mist Fairy who was in a coma, knitted her brows and a groan escaped her lips. Her complexion became even paler and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. Her pet.i.te body convulsed and trembled. Anyone who saw this could understand that she was in great pain right now.
Long Yi sympathized with her in his heart. He placed his fingertip on her forehead and injected his spirit power to help her ease her pain.
Mist Fairy gritted her teeth and suddenly reached out her jade hand to grab onto Long Yi's hand. She then struggled to sit up on the bed. When he saw that she was trying so hard, Long Yi decided to help her.
Puff, Mist Fairy vomited a mouthful of blood which dyed the whole brocade quilt red. It appeared just like a red flower bursting into a bloom in the middle of a snowfield. It was beautiful and desolate at the same time.
Long Yi was flabbergasted. Misy Fairy's injury should be more serious than he thought. Long Yi immediately injected a powerful internal force into Mist Fairy in order to protect her heart meridians. He quickly poked the acupoint between her chest and her abdomen.
Mist Fairy's trembling body eventually calmed down. Her eyelids moved and she opened her eyes with great difficulty. Those n.o.ble and beautiful eyes which were once dazzling were dim and l.u.s.terless. However, the tenacious aura around her was still the same.
When she saw the concerned expression on Long Yi's face, Mist Fairy's expression fluctuated. She forced a smile on her face with much difficulty and she said, ”The opposite wall…… The magic lamp on it is a mechanism. You… You should hold onto the lampstand and turn it three times towards the left. After that, turn it three times towards the right. Carry me into that secret room…”
After hearing what Mist Fairy said, Long Yi didn't think too much about it. He carried her and used the method she said to turn the lampstand on the wall. The wall slid open all of a sudden. He remembered that Mu Hanyan came out from this room the last time he was here.
In the room, Long Yi saw that there was a long flight of stairs leading underground. There were magic lamps on both sides illuminating the path. After walking to the bottom of the stairs, Long Yi saw that there was a stone room which was closed. Long Yi opened the stone room according to the instruction of Mist Fairy. Inside the room, other than a stone platform and a small magic lamp, there was nothing else.
Long Yi placed Mist Fairy on that stone platform and Mist Fairy sat cross-legged on it. When he saw the complicated and mysterious lines on the stone platform, a hint of surprise flashed in Long Yi's eyes. If he was not mistaken, an extremely complicated magic array was engraved on this stone platform. There were circular grooves on it where magic cores or such things should be placed in order to activate the magic array.
”Thank you, Ximen Yu. You can leave now. I am going to use a secret technique to heal my injuries. If you meet Mu Hanyan, you can tell her everything without hiding anything.” Mist Fairy already seemed a lot better after sitting on the stone platform. The hidden meaning behind her words was definitely to tell Long Yi to get out. He knew that there was no chance for him to stay in the stone room any longer.
Long Yi swept his gaze around the secret room and said with a smile, ”Then, I will not bother you any longer. You can heal yourself slowly. This kind of injury to the soul is not a joke.”
”Thank you for your concern.” Mist Fairy said. After speaking, she didn't bother with Long Yi any longer. She closed her eyes and emitted a purple mist around her. The mist rotated around her and it seemed as though it possessed intelligence.
Long Yi stared at Mist Fairy for a long time before he turned around. He slowly walked out of the room.
Just when the door of the stone room was about to shut behind him, Long Yi heard Mist Fairy's voice again, ”Be careful of Light Pope.”
Long Yi was startled. Could it be that the Light Pope was the one who injured Mist Fairy? Unless that Light G.o.d was still possessing Charles, it was impossible for Charles to injure Mist Fairy like this. However, didn't the Light G.o.d said that he was unable to possess Charles' body for a long time?
”Strange, I should ask Mist Fairy about what she meant by that…” Long Yi couldn't afford to leave without getting an explanation about the Light Pope. He used the method which Mist Fairy taught him a moment ago to open the door. However, he discovered that the door didn't even budge.
”A wily hare has three burrows… Sure enough, I'm all by myself now.” Long Yi's eyes shone. He felt that the thinking of this Mist Fairy was truly not inferior to Mu Hanyan's. It seemed like birds of the same feather flock together.
