Chapter 12: Secondary Rainbow

The title of this chapter is ‘Ni Hong’, which is the name of the Fourth Disciple It also means ‘Neon’ and ‘Secondary Rainbow’

The four stand in silence

Only the bronze mirror above Yin Chen’s head

is eht

Endless darkness surrounds them

The relic before them

is like aout before them

No one knohat is hiding within it

[West of Aslan E waters of Rennes]

When Shen Yin regains her consciousness, the first thing she feels is the wet coldness of being sub that she cannot feel the nu pain of the winter ocean

She opens her eyes to see that she is currently sitting in the shadoaters along the coast She is leaning against a black rock that is diffusing the fishy scent of the ocean The half-nakedinto the ocean with his eyes closed in search of so as he supports himself on one knee

Shen Yin only realizes a couple of moments later what he carried her into the ocean in order to make the formation of arrays easier Shen Yin looks down at the circle of brightness underneath the surface of the water It surrounds her entirely and flickers as if it is breathing Looking up, she sees the olden soul’s return circuit as he passes soul powers into the es of soul powers envelop his body The countless cuts on her ar at a rapid pace Even the two fist-sized holes that cut cleanly through her abdoer is that, be it the fatal wound on her abdomen or the thin but dense cuts on her limbs, all the pain froht fro her from pain

“Who are you?” Shen Yin asks the man who has his eyes closed in concentration

When he hears Shen Yin’s voice, his eyes opens suddenly and he stands up slowly With the aid of the gleaes to see his face clearly for the first time

A pair of large, war him resemble the tamest animal He radiates a blank look that is innocent yet pri in concentration at the unknoorld His hair is as bright and red as fire They are pushed up to reveal his clear yet distinct features His nose bridge is high and this allows hihihtly, as if wanting to cohts, but he maintains the same posture in fear that he may scare someone

Only a young angel can have a face so gentle and pure

Yet under this face, he has a tall and toned muscular body He is almost entirely bare save for the short armour wrapped around his waist His tanned skin is filled with different mysterious tattooed patterns from his neck to feet Even on his face There are still remnants of the thick blood and flesh of Shan Guihe has just killed on his chest and hands The aggressiveHis chest is fir It is as if his entire body harbors a lightning like power

These contradicting traits all fuse together conflictingly yet consistently onto one person A person with qualities of both an angel and a devil

“Who are you?” Shen Yin asks again softly

He opens his mouth carefully, a ……”

“Ni Hong?” Shen Yin repeats

He nods forcefully A child-like yet handsome smile appears instantaneously on his face Shen Yin can tell that such a perfect and untainted expression should not exist in this evil and strange world It is as if he is excited solely because Shen Yin said his na hidden underneath his smile, his white teeth and his hearty voice

He stands suddenly and turns to dive into the ocean Before Shen Yin has the ties with a few sea urchins in his hands and a struggling fish between his teeth Water droplets cascade down his sculpted body like gems He resembles Poseidon

He dashes to Shen Yin and kneels down After tossing the fish before her, he breaks apart the sharp shell of the sea urchins with his bare hands before holding theleams in his dark and warm eyes

His hands has been lanced by the sea urchin and his blood drips into the ocean Shen Yin frowns before saying: “Your hand……”

A wide s’s face as he shakes his head as if it doesn’t hurt at all The sea urchins are still held before Shen Yin as he looks at her in anticipation

Shen Yin feels touched, as if a war out a thin and pale hand, she retrieves the sea urchins fro hands She lowers her head for a bite It tastes deliciously fresh

Ni Hong smiles happily On his face is the smile of excitement and satisfaction

After eating, Shen Yin wants to get back on shore The temperature of the ocean in winter really isn’t bearable and she could barely withstand it when she was injured Now that all the soul powers in her body has been channeled to healing, she can no longer hold against the low temperatures

Just as she pushes herself up to her feel, she feels a sharp pain in her abdomen “Of course I haven’t recovered completely……” Shen Yin thinks as she falls back into the water She lifts her head whens he senses a war reaches down to carry Shen Yin out frorabs at the air with the other and within split second, a fealls of ice rise froround and surrounds the wall of a cliff A small house of ice is created He carries Shen Yin in and sets her down before crouching beside her with a questioning and passionate gaze

“Yes, this is much better There’s no wind now” Shen Yin tells him

He laughs happily The tenderness on his face is co from his body

As if suddenly re, he lifts an eyebrow and turns to leave the ice room A short while later, he crawls back in This time, he holds the pelt he has just ripped off of a snow leopard There is still war frohtly with a finger and the sticky blood all freeze in an instant With a forceful shake, countless red shards of ice fall onto the ground, leaving behind a dry and clean pelt Hefor her to cover herself with it Shen Yin wraps it around herself before turning to look at Ni Hong On his face is a prideful and pure expression, as if a youth showing off his treasure Shen Yin giggles “Thank you”

Ni Hong squats before Shen Yin and gazes at her intently with his burning gaze He then sits doith his long legs spread out Lifting Shen Yin, he puts her between his legs and eainst his bare chest

“You……what are you doing?” Shen Yin flushes immediately

Yet it is as if he hears nothing, Ni Hong rests his head gently on Shen Yin’s shoulder With his eyes closed, his thick lashes cause him to resemble a child in deep slu in the flowing of gold across his body Shen Yin feels the war her layer by layer

Shewho has his eyes closed while e her “Can you not speak?”

Ni Hong lifts his head and purses his lips slightly His waraze is a mixture of blankness and sadness He nods slowly at her before putting his head back onto her shoulder

The burning soul powers radiating continuously from his bare chest and inject themselves into Shen Yin’s body

Healing flesh New skin

The blizzard howls on outside the house of ice

[West of Aslan Empire – Relic of Youtuer]

Yin Chen stares at the tall stone door before his on it are retro and aged, revealing thetime As if tens of thousands of years has flowed past on the surface

The two large stone doors dozens of htly

“We enter fro asks as he stares at the stone door that is as grand as a palace It is obvious that this is the first tih the chess piece the last time he ithin the relic of the ancient city

Qi Laa pale yet thin had froh surface of the stone door gently as if caressing the dew on a leaf in the early rays of the ertips and spread along the intricate carvings on the stone The large doora loud ruckus in the silent and eround path

Surprise fills Yin Chen’s heart He is surprised every single time he sees Qi La use his powers It is not because of the seely boundless soul powers that fill his body, but that when he e an artwork, he will not use any le thread and strand of soul powers is used on point Not the slightest bit wasted or used to show off This is the reason why he was known as one of thethe lords This htest bit of soul powers left in his body, he can do tre bit

The stone doors open inwards The dusty se and hollow Relic of Youtuer appears before them
