Maybe My Soulmate! (GL)

After Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing stood on the teleportation formation in the black stone cave, Su Yubing subconsciously emitted a trace of icy aura from her body which went towards the centre of the formation and the next second, a blinding blue light enveloped then both and by the time they opened their eyes, both of them found themselves infront of this massive underground city.

It didn’t take them long to understand that the incredible sight before them is nothing but an Ancient Ruin!

All over the surroundings had a damp yet ancient breath in it as if time has stood still for who knows how many hundreds of thousands of years.

What surprised them even more was that all the buildings, roofs, the roads and even the walls were made up of strange material which even Mo Yuxin felt she couldn’t break at her full strength now. Well, without the usage of divine sense that is but that too would definitely take a toll on her mind and body at her current state.

Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing stood hand in hand infront of this massive structure and couldn’t help but be suprised that it seemed no different than outside world as whole underground city was illuminated like it was daytime but infact, there was no sun or anything!

All over the place and streets, there were huge street lamps which were clearly magical as they kept glowing with such a magical light that even if you look at them with your eyes open, it wouldn’t blind you nor does it feel hot like with the sun!

Everything in here was truly a magical sight that neither Mo Yuxin nor Su Yubing has ever seen.

Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing both looked at each and Mo Yuxin said,

”Let’s go explore this place.”

Hearing her, Su Yubing also nodded in response as they slowly walked towards this underground city.

And the more they walked towards this place, the more weird things they noticed about here.

There were not a single living person here, which was understandable as it is after all, an ancient ruins and whoever those people who lived here has most definitely either died or even if some are alive, they are one of the most strongest and unfathomable existence in the whole world now or there’s also a chance that some have already ascended.

But what felt more weird was that not a single place in this underground city, be it the gray walls, or the stone pavements or the buildings or even the seemingly delicate looking roofs had a dent or even cracks! It truly looked as if time has stood still in this place and it also made clear just how mysterious and profound these materials are.

It didn’t take long for them to reach the actual city and it was incredibly beautiful yet sophisticated. This place and Azure Dragon City couldn’t even be compared. Everything here looked like it was made by the most finest craftsmen. It truly looked like a place that the most wealthy, in case here the most powerful of people lived here.

Even though heavens know how many eons have passed in this place but the faint aura of oppression still kept pouring out from the buildings and houses in this city. If Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing both weren’t as powerful as they are now, they would most definitely feel the heaviness of the pressure.

”Let’s take a look at that building over there. It seems like the pressure coming from there is many times more than all the other buildings!” Su Yubing suddenly leaned closer towards Mo Yuxin and said while pointing towards a particularly unique building.

As Mo Yuxin looked towards the place, she felt that something was weird about the building, specifically it’s position!

As she observed more and more, an outrageous idea came into her mind!

All the buildings and even street lamps that are placed in this place are placed in weird positions but they strangely seems to align with each other and the whole structure looks like a giant formation! And the thing that caught her attention about the specific building is that, it seems like it’s position is at the center of this huge formation!

After thinking about the possibility of such an outrageous idea, Mo Yuxin also told Su Yubing and she also noticed the strangeness of the positions here.

Then in a tacit understanding, Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing both tried to fly upwards but another strange thing happened!

They couldn’t fly at all! No matter how hard they tried to manipulate the laws of space and try to fly, they couldn’t! As if an invisible power has jammed their ability to fight!

The whole situation just got weirder and weirder and Mo Yuxin even tried to use her divine sense but a strange feeling of crisis emerged in her mind as if the moment, she got caught, something disastrous would happen.

”Everything about this place is weird. I can feel the Heavenly laws but I can’t manipulate them at will! It seems until and unless our understanding and comprehension of heavenly laws reach a certain height, it’s impossible to fly here at our current strength.” Su Yubing at this time said after carefully analysing the whole situation.

Mo Yuxin also nodded and seeing that flying was impossible and it meant that it was not possible for them to investigate the possibility of formation, they could only give up their idea and went towards the buildings.

Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing came close and the moment, they placed their hands on the door of the building, a heaviness washed over them as if the gravity surrounding the building was many times more than normal!

But they were still powerful enough to ignore it and pushed the door open but it took quite a bit of strength from them before the door finally opened.

As they went inside and took a look, they found to their surprise that the whole room was extremely simple with only a table and chair, a bed and a few other normal furniture for everyday use. But what was more surprising was that there was actually not a single speck of dust in the whole room!

At this point Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing, both were not that surprised from all these strange things and the moment, they wanted to turn around to go out, a strange voice suddenly came from behind startling the two of them!

”Ohh! Two little younglings!!” The moment this seemingly old woman’s voice floated towards them, Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing both took out their sword in an instant and turned around to with vigilance as Mo Yuxin took Su Yubing closer towards her subconsciously in a protective manner.

”Hohoho.. No need to be hostile, younglings. I’m the guardian of this place. Welcome to the ancient city ’Shenghuo Menkou’!”

As Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing turned around to face the strange voice that floated in their ears, to their surprise, they actually found an old woman dressed in white cyan robe just outside of the door of this building ! Even though this old woman looked simple but the unintentional pressure emanating from her gave both Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing a feeling of standing infront of an insurmountable mountain!

Like a holy spirit from the highest immortal palace.

Mixed with the profound pressure, there was an almost overflowing heroic spirit coming from this old woman that made them have a sense of admiration towards this figure almost subconsciously.

Mo Yuxin also didn’t feel a single trace of malicious intent from her and both of them finally relaxed a little and believed her words.

After all, the almost transparent figure of this old woman made it obvious that she was no physical body and it was probably a part of the consciousness left by the original soul to guard this place. And as for what happened to the original soul, we could only say that she is not alive anymore.

At this point, Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing both out away their weapon and Mo Yuxin asked,

”Greetings to senior. May I know the purpose of your visit?” Seeing that Mo Yuxin was respectful of her but not flattering or arrogant, the old woman nodded with obvious satisfaction and said,

”Hohoho... It’s fate that we met, younglings. Come, there’s a lot to chat about.

It would be rude to chat without a cup of warm tea at least.” As the old woman said, she waved her hand and walked inside the room, they were currently in and with another wave of her hand, a low table and three mattresses were placed in the centre of the room and there was actually a kettle with streaming hot tea in it as well as three ordinary yet mysterious cups!

The old woman walked towards one side of the low table and sat down on the mattress and Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing also followed.

Mo Yuxin took Su Yubing’s hand and tightened her interlocking fingers as their eyes met each other, full of gentleness and utmost tenderness for each other. Mo Yuxin nodded towards Su Yubing and they both sat down without saying a word as if in a tacit understanding unique to them only.

The old woman looked at their interaction with interest but hidden beneath the interest, there was,

Nostalgia!? Longing?!
