Chapter 81 Agreement

Lyu Liang was stunned for a moment and then his eyes narrowed. He said in a deep voice, “You and Qi Yuantian are from the same group? Is your target Heaven-Hell Water? Didn’t you get some already? Why are you still here! I really didn’t expect my benefactor to turn into my enemy so soon!”

Yang Ying grinned. Then, her eyes softened and she whispered, “You are wrong, I am not your benefactor. I only helped Dumb Kid. Just like there is only one Ying’er in your heart, in my heart, there is only one Dumb Kid!”

Lyu Liang’s expression was complicated. Until now, everything seemed to be unreal. The gentle fairy was in reality someone from the other world who was up to something terrible. But from her words, he could sense that her feelings for Dumb Kid were real.

Lyu Liang was relieved when he realized it and he smiled, “I don’t care what your identity is in the other world, I only know that in Dumb Kid’s heart, you will always be his most treasured Ying’er!”

Yang Ying transformed back to the Early-stage of Nascent Soul cultivation. Two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks again. She said gently, “You are right, he is my Dumb Kid, I am his Ying’er. I don’t want him to see me as I am now. In my heart, I wish I am always the Yang Ying from Zi Tong Sect, not Fifth Feng from Ghostly Fire Palace”

Looking at Yang Ying who was so sad, Lyu Liang sighed and said slowly, “Rest assured, before I help Dumb Kid to condense out of this body, this is a secret that will last forever. Can you tell me your purpose here? Dumb Kid loves you, but I don’t. Whatever he owes you, I will pay for him! Tell me and maybe I can help!”

Yang Ying lowered her head and whispered, “Last time, the Heaven-Hell Water that First Huo took from you was not enough to condense the essence of the water. Therefore, I am here to pursue this matter. Tonight is the final deadline.”

“Do you have the leech like last time? Is it enough to absorb that much? If it is not enough, get two! Or even three! Anyway, I have condensed the essence of water already. Even if there is a lack, I can go back the barrier to make up for it, come on!” Lyu Liang was already prepared because no matter how he much pondered about it, Yang Ying had no reason to stay except for this matter.

Yang Ying was stunned for a moment as she didn’t seem to expect Lyu Liang to agree so readily. Looking into his eager eyes, it was as if he was in a hurry to give her the Heaven-Hell Water. At this moment, she seemed to have an illusion that the person in front of her was Dumb Kid..

“I said, whatever you need Dumb Kid to help you with, I will do it on his behalf first.” Lyu Liang smiled and shrugged in a relaxed manner.

Yang Ying’s look softened and she nodded gratefully. She pulled out a small bottle with the word “卐” that Lyu Liang had seen before. After opening the cover, a Five-elements Leech flew to Lyu Liang’s head.

During the period of absorption, Lyu Liang asked a question he had doubts about for some time, “Is Dumb Kid smart? In the beginning, he should be considered as mentally incompetent, right? Don’t misunderstand me. I am not looking down on him. After all, we are one and I am just curious!”

When Dumb Kid’s name was mentioned, Yang Ying’s eyes sparkled with joy and she whispered, “Do you know? The Netherworld, where I am, is a place that worships only the survival of the fittest. Almost everyone is a cultivator and there is no space for mortals to live. Almost daily, sects are being destroyed and their countries taken over. It is a case of “whose strength is better and whose words are right!”

“The reason for all this is that the size of our big world is too small and the resources are limited! Since I was young, I grew up amidst constant fighting. The people around me are either killing others or being killed. I never had a confidante. I only had companions who either cooperate or are cunning enemies!”

“It was said that three thousand years ago, there was a powerful figure who found the space node leading to the Pangu Origin world. We, the Ghostly-Fire Twelve Lords were sent here for a mission. The twelve of us were divided into three groups, each group had four people. We sneaked into the territory of the Mortal Realm to find the Five-element Secret Treasure. As for the reason, we have all made our vows to heaven and I am not allowed to reveal that.”

“The group I am in is aiming for the Heaven-Hell Water. After a long period of exploration, thousands of years ago, we locked in our target at Zi Tong Sect. After careful planning, First Huo and I sneaked in here for the purpose of obtaining the Heaven-Hell Water.”

“I thought it would be a very easy task. After all, Zi Tong Sect seemed to be a weak sect judging from its intelligence. But when we disguised ourselves as disciples and entered the sect, we discovered the complexity of the matter! The Sect-Protection Formation, the Formation Keys and the colorful barrier were things that we could not deal with easily. Anyway, we had ample time to carry out the tasks. Therefore, we abandoned the strategy of using forceful attacking and changed it into using infiltration tactics instead.”

“Things went smoothly. First Huo became an inner disciple in a low-key manner and I was lucky to be selected by Zi Tong Fairy and became her only pro-disciple. The days here in Zi Tong Sect were the happiest times in my life. There are no calculative moves at every second and no brutal fighting. There are only the peers’ love from my brothers in Zi Tong Sect and the tender care from Master.”

“Finally, I was at a loss. I seemed to be a real disciple of Zi Tong Sect. I like everything here with all my heart. Until a year ago, the big Boss commanded us to get the Heaven-Hell Water as soon as possible. Only then did I wake up from this beautiful dream.”

“During all these years, Zi Tong Fairy would bring me to the space inside the colorful barrier every year. I had an inkling that the Heaven-Hell Water is here! But the space we entered is not where it is stored. I studied it for a long time, yet I couldn’t solve the mystery. Now the order from the Boss has arrived. The result of our discussion was to attack directly! Threaten Master and force her to take out the Heaven-Hell Water!”

“As we prepared to carry out this plan, Dumb Kid suddenly appeared. Then, the fact that he had the aura of Heaven-Hell Water surprised us and made us happy too. In the end, we changed our plans and decided to start with Dumb Kid.”

“In the beginning, when Dumb Kid started pestering me, I didn’t take it seriously. Since Master asked me to take care of him, I did the usual stuff. But as we spent more time together, whenever he used that tone and looked at me repeatedly, something hidden at the bottom of my heart slowly started to sprout. I started to enjoy the feeling of being cared by others at all times.”

“Later, Dumb Kid was no longer as stupid as before. He seemed to be more and more like a normal person. He would help me and talk to me. The only thing that did not change was his deep attachment to me. “Although many male disciples wanted to pursue me before, none of them were as persistent as Dumb Kid. Of course, I did not give them any chance too.”

“Finally, there was an incident when I went to the market place and Dumb Kid stood in front of me to protect me from being harassed by some rude people. The hard shell that had already been formed in my heart started to crumble. I decided at that time, no matter what the result was, I must save Dumb Kid’s life!”

“I knew about the plan of First Huo. Although I strongly opposed taking the life of Dumb Kid, First Huo’s intention was obvious. The priority was to get the Heaven-Hell Water. On the day of the incident when Dumb Kid was injured, for the first time, I felt anxious. I was afraid. I was afraid that First Huo will not let Dumb Kid off. Master must have sensed my agitation, so we rushed to where the incident took place”

“At that time, there was only one thought in my heart: Dumb Kid can’t die! Fortunately, when we were still on the way, I suddenly felt a strong and chaotic aura. I used my magical powers to see what was happening. Dumb Kid, at that time was acting strangely and appeared dazed and now I understand that it should have been you at that time.”

“After that, First Huo left. When we rushed over, you became Dumb Kid again. Then, the terrible look and the unhappy words of Dumb Kid said, instantly broke all the barriers in my heart. At that moment, I knew that Dumb Kid should be a test in my life. I don’t know if I like him. I only know that if he is not with me, I will be lonely.”

“After this incident, I was surprised to find that Dumb Kid was no longer dumb! He was getting more and more normal and even his cultivation had broken through. We were talking about more and more topics. It was no longer that I was the one who was taking care of him; he began to help me and took care of me in every possible way. Since then, Dumb Kid had anchored a firm hold in my heart.”

“What happened later, I think you already know. The amount that First Huo brought back the last time was not enough. As the last spy, I have to succeed within five days. Otherwise, my tribe people in the Nether Big World will be cruelly punished. I hesitated and struggled; I wanted to be the Ying’er in his heart and I don’t want him to think that I was actually an unscrupulous person from the other world.”

“At first, my plan was to make Dumb Kid faint tonight and then take the water away. I will never appear in front of him again. However, his words made me seem to have a new choice. The hug after that is by far the most exciting and sweetest moment in my life. I think, no matter how long it is, I will never forget the tight embrace given to me by Dumb Kid!”

In the end, Yang Ying could no longer suppress her inner glow as tears welled up in her eyes, yet she was gentle and full of love.

At this point, the Five-element Leech returned to the bottle. Lyu Liang sighed and said, “It seems that it does not affect the essence that I have already condensed. Is it enough? What are you going to do now? Just leave like this? Can you tell me where you will go? I have no intention of stopping you, but I just want to give Dumb Kid some information!”

Yang Ying kept the bottle and smiled, “It should be enough. Thank you for your help. After completing this task, we have to go to another interface to find another Five-element Secret Treasure. I don’t know which interface to go to next, but, according to the order of boss, if we can’t find the Five-element Secret Treasure in this big world, after five hundred years, we will meet in the southern part of the Demon Realm. From there, we will go to another big world that the ancestors have been to and continue to find the remaining Five-element Secret Treasure.”

Lyu Liang pondered and solemnly said, “I already know where the secret treasure is for soul gathering, but I can’t go before I am strong enough. Do you have a token that can guide me to your aura? Give me one, the moment when Dumb Kid builds his body, we will go and find you! On behalf of Dumb Kid, no matter how long, no matter how many big worlds there are between us, Dumb Kid will come to you; you will always be the most beautiful Ying’er in his heart!”

Yang Ying gave him a beautiful and serene smile. Later, she took out a purple crystal stone and handed it to Lyu Liang and she whispered, “This is one of my two life-bonded crystal stones. So long as we are in the same interface, you can feel my aura.”

Lyu Liang took it and kept it carefully. Yang Ying turned around and her figure gradually dissipated. At the same time, her voice echoed in the house, “Zi Tong Master once said that the day you left is the time when Zi Tong Sect will become stronger. Although I didn’t understand it at first, I think the answer should be in the colorful barrier. Before you go, take a look there. Zi Tong Sect is my home in Pangu Origin world. If I can get back together with Dumb Kid, I hope there will be a day that I can come back here.”

After Yang Ying disappeared, Lyu Liang looked at the sky and shouted. He clenched his fist tightly and felt the urgency to improve his strength.

After coming to terms with the feeling the loss, Lyu Liang came to the front of the colorful barrier and Black was already sitting on his shoulder.

“Black, help me see, it is said that there is more than one space here, can I go into other spaces?”

“Well, it’s a good restriction formation. I didn’t pay attention to it before. Well, let me see. Oh? Interesting, Liang, enter!”

The next moment, Lyu Liang disappeared.

Lyu Liang lost his sight for a moment. Then, when he regained his vision and consciousness, he found himself in the middle of a palace. Before he could check out the place, four strong auras of destruction swirled around him!

Lyu Liang was shocked. He looked and found that they belonged to four giant bears, each about 33 feet tall and they were advancing on him!

At this point, there was no time for him to react because the other party was too fast! Lyu Liang felt despair once again. When he got ready to fight for his life, the four giant bears suddenly kneeled. One of them was full of tears and snorted, “Master! We missed you so much! It has been five thousand years and you are finally back!”
