Chapter 215 : The Hallmaster Wants to Get Married Off 31 (1/2)

Bu Jingyun really was too weak and fragile; just a few claw wounds had caused him to fall unconscious for the greater half of the day.

Although the Sentinel wasn’t very welcoming towards Shi Sheng with his words, he didn’t restrain her actions by much. After all, even if he hadn’t heard their conversation from before, he had seen the Geldcloud Flower.

‘That’s one of the things Hallmaster’s always been looking for. This woman is only harsh with her words…’

The two carried Bu Jingyun out of Sunset Forest at the fastest speed they could. But by the time they’d reached Four-Square City, Bu Jingyun’s wounds had pretty much healed up on their own.

Meanwhile, after the battle for the Rainbow Lotus had ended, the various factions that had left Sunset Forest gathered together to attack Four Square City out of revenge. Fortunately, the defensive formation was strong enough to withstand their attacks, and the enemy was disunified enough that they didn’t manage to inflict any actual damage before dispersing.

The reason behind their disunity was Qin Langyue.

Shi Sheng had forcefully revealed Qin Langyue’s spatial storage bracelet in front of everyone after all.

And as long as it belonged to the female lead, it was guaranteed to be extremely rare. As it turned out, spatial storage devices were very rare in the Nine Provinces; naturally, those people wouldn’t just let it go.

There was already no hope of obtaining the Rainbow Lotus. If they couldn’t even get a spatial storage bracelet out of this trip, it really would have been a waste of their time, now wouldn’t it?

And thus, there was yet another round of fighting over that bracelet.

However, Qin Langyue’s contracted beast had awoken before they had the chance to do anything and brought her, as well as her still stalwart protector Jiang Mu, away.

“Langyue, you need to eat something.” Jiang Mu placed some fruits beside Qin Langyue, his normally frigid expression now containing some hints of concern.

Qin Langyue simply stared into space with empty eyes as she lay on the ground, answering Jiang Mu with a robotic tone, “Not eating.”

“Your body won’t be able to take it.”

Qin Langyue suddenly sat up and roared, “I said I’m not eating! Not eating! Don’t you understand what I’m saying? Get lost! I don’t want to see you!”

Jiang Mu was dazed from being shouted at, and only managed to find his words again after a while, “But—”

“Scram! Get lost!” Qin Langyue pushed Jiang Mu. “Get out! Leave!”

The worry in Jiang Mu’s only eyes deepened, but he still reluctantly left for the sake of not agitating Qin Langyue any further.

Once Jiang Mu had left, Qin Langyue held her face and sobbed.

She had lost her cultivation, and, that, in her mind, was equivalent to being a cripple. This resulted in her emotions becoming much more volatile. Even though she knew Jiang Mu had meant the best for her, she still couldn’t help but take her anger out on him.

“Mistress, there’s still a chance for you to recover your previous strength.” Her contracted beast’s voice slowly sounded in her mind.

Qin Langyue’s head shot up, her bloodshot eyes gleaming with a savage light. “What method?”

She desperately wanted to regain her cultivation and seek revenge against Shen Yaoguang.

Qin Langyue had been an assassin in her previous life, so her mind was far more resilient than others’. But no matter how resilient one was, after they’d experienced such a despairing series of setbacks, they’d become just as fragile as anyone else.

Her contracted beast fell silent for a while. Qin Langyue urged him once more with a dark look in her eyes. “Come on, say it! What method? I don’t want to be a cripple!”

“Do you really want to recover, Mistress? Even if… you’ll lose some things as a result?” Her contracted beast didn’t directly reply and instead asked her a question of his own in adowncast voice.

‘When we formed our contract, she clearly wasn’t this kind of person. The Mistress right now scares me a bit…’

“Yes, I want to recover! No matter what the cost!” Qin Langyue answered immediately, without hesitation. ‘I want revenge against Shen Yaoguang!’

Only after a long while did her contracted beast finally give a reply, “En. I’ll definitely help Mistress recover.”

Qin Langyue was impatient and continued questioning him, but he wouldn’t say anything more, only telling her to rest easy and wait.

That night, Qin Langyue had a dream. In the dream, a small boy looked at her with a sad expression. That desolate gaze of his made her feel very uncomfortable. It felt as if she had let him down somehow.

She was suddenly startled awake from her dream.
