Realms In The Firmament

Bing Xinyue finally felt eased. She put down Wenren Chuchu, who almost lost consciousness. She held some clear water in her hands and fed Wenren Chuchu.

Wenren Chuchu was thirsty, so she drank it like it was sweet. She felt dazed, but still drank up the water Bing Xinyue gave her. After a while, she was sober, murmuring, ”Master, are we alive?”

”We are. Chuchu, hang on. We will fine.”

Bing Xinyue spoke in a low voice, ”Chuchu, we are safe now… Drink some water and let’s focus on your treatment. The wounds didn’t become worse, but we can’t ignore them. They must be searching for us. We should be safe for now, but it is difficult to get away. Let’s focus on you first.”

She paused and continued, ”I am lucky to have you with me this time… If I were alone, I might have been…”

She sighed and bitterly smiled. She didn’t finish the words.

This time, if Wenren Chuchu weren’t staying with her, she might have died nine times already!

That was for sure.

Wenren Chuchu smiled and said, ”That is not true, Master. If you weren’t staying with me, I might have died long ago. I wouldn’t be able to to make it till now.”

In the abominable situation, the two ladies both felt that they were depending on each other.

Under the ground, there was no ventilation. However, it wouldn’t be too difficult for them to survive, since they were both pretty capable cultivators. Most importantly, they had water now. It wouldn’t be a problem to stay for a period of time.

”We are safe here, but there is no way to know what the enemies are doing. Without the current situation of the enemies, I can’t make any practical tactics. We literally have no idea what to do next now.” Wenren Chuchu smiled, ”I guess we should submit to the will of heavens.”

Bing Xinyue smiled softly, ”It is amazing that we can make it here with all the schemes of yours. It is beyond my expectation. I guess nobody could do better than you as an adviser.”

”Hmm. Considering the current situation, our priority should be recovering ourselves first. The better the conditions we are in, the more likely we will solve the problems afterward.” Wenren Chuchu calmly said, ”However, we must not consume too much energy down here… There will be a tough fight up there when we go back to the ground. It will be the fight that decides our life and death. After all, they are not the only side that is in need of time. We are also running out of time. If they give up on us and start the attack on Ye Clan, what we have done and sacrificed would be wasted!”

Bing Xinyue nodded to agree. She said, ”It is our fates that decide our life and death. However, we should always fight for what we want. Sometimes one’s fate can be changed… Chuchu, when we get away, you must fight for your own happiness.”

Wenren Chuchu blushed and then said with a forced smile, ”Master, we have already come here. I won’t just give up. I will do my best.”

She said so but thought differently. She was severely wounded. It was already great luck that she didn’t get worse. How could she be recovered? What she just said, she said it to ease Bing Xinyue’s anxious heart. She didn’t want her master to consume too much energy for her, because she wanted a bigger chance for her master to survive. After all, it would be a tough fight when they returned to the ground… She knew she was not going to survive that.

She decided not to become a burden of her master.

”Fight for my own happiness…” She murmured and then said, ”We are both the same. Women’s happiness is never granted. We shall never expect somebody else to give us happiness. Sometimes, when we miss the chance, we will never have another again.”

After that, Wenren Chuchu stopped talking. She just closed her eyes and focused on curing herself.

Bing Xinyue looked worried.

She suddenly sat on the floor and lowered her head. Her long beautiful hairs kept her face in cover. She murmured, ”… When we miss the chance, we will never have another…”

[Women’s happiness is never granted. We shall never expect somebody else to give us happiness.]

She kept thinking about it and making silent sighs.

[This is such a critical moment. We may die the next moment. Why bother thinking about happiness or others… We should do our best to survive first…]

The bombing sound kept coming from up on the ground. Although they were already thirty meters down under the ground, they still felt the vibration from the ground. Apparently, the men of the two sects didn’t see the two ladies, so they started to dig the floor. It seemed they were going to dig deeper and deeper…

Bing Xinyue felt that the crisis was approaching. If Wenren Chuchu didn’t insist to high under the ground, if they didn’t come all the way down to thirty meters depth, they might have been caught by now.

The men arrived at this place first, and they had a man watching this place all the time, so they didn’t pay attention to it.

However, it was only temporally safe for the two ladies.

After they dug out every other piece of land, they would eventually come to this place too.

That meant…

They would have to confront the fight.

Bing Xinyue was praying in her heart. She hoped that those people would never come to this place.

Once they did, she might still have a chance to survive, but Wenren Chuchu would die for sure!

…

Ye Xiao was sitting on the golden hawk’s back, taking care of Han Bingxue. He kept putting supreme dan beads into Han Bingxue’s mouth from time to time. Life Origin Dan might be the best dan bead for him, but it was not good enough to cure a man who had activated Seven-in-one Mergence. Even though Han Bingxue’s soul and life energy were stable because of Life Origin Dan, his bodies, minds and other parts were all damaged. Luckily, Ye Xiao had a lot of supreme dan beads. He only gave Han Bingxue the best he had. After some days, he would be fully recovered!

Most importantly, Ye Xiao had the fruits. As long as Erhuo successfully removed the demonic attribute in those fruits, Han Bingxue could eat the fruits and became a peak-level Dao Origin Stage cultivator again…

[Hmmm… Erhuo is still out there. What happened?] Suddenly, Ye Xiao felt something moving inside Boundless Space. He hurriedly entered the Space, and as expected, Erhuo was back.
