Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1387 - 799: Return

And when she pulled her gaze out further, it was still highway at the foot of the mountain, plus a city that was neither too big nor too small...

Sui Yi’s expression eased a little. "This is the world I belong to..."

"Your world looks like this? It looks... kind of weird."

Wang Qing counted as a Master among the Void-breaking, and a very special kind at that. She could get out of a time-space maelstrom in one piece, and she could cultivate the War God’s Atlas, which showed just how formidable she was. Her eyesight was naturally nothing to scoff at, so whatever Sui Yi could see, even if she couldn’t see all of it, she could see at least half.

Mm... those scenic areas and the highways must have struck her as strange.

Maybe she’d seen the cars.

"It is a bit... I haven’t seen it for so long I find it a little bizarre myself. But this world really is different from the one you’re from." At this moment Sui Yi’s condition wasn’t bad; she turned her head to look at the calm-faced Wang Qing. This person’s face was also paper-white right now, clearly she’d burned through a lot of energy just like Sui Yi.

But neither of them was the type to show weakness.

And Sui Yi also didn’t ask why Wang Qing had ultimately taken the initiative to step into the time-space tunnel and even saved her...

Because if she didn’t ask, the other wouldn’t speak. So the atmosphere went dead, dragging the whole mountain down into a deathly stillness with it...

After a long while.

Sui Yi very naturally asked, "Are you hungry?"

Wang Qing also very naturally answered, "Not yet."

And then?

"That person mentioned the karma of the ninth Reincarnation. What did she mean?"

There it was.

Right on the key point, as expected.

Sui Yi leaned against a tree, arms crossed, feeling the faint ache inside her body.

"Roughly... that your previous-previous life and my previous life were connected."

That line carried way too much information.

Wang Qing didn’t want to dig to the bottom of it, and vaguely felt that continuing to ask wouldn’t be a good thing.

"Will that person come again?"

"No. From breaking away from the Dimensional Realm’s seal and entering the time-space tunnel... she herself would suffer a very strong backlash. She can’t come again... at least not anytime soon."

"You have quite a few enemies, and they’re not weak."

"I take it you don’t mean that as a compliment."

"..."

Wang Qing’s hands were folded inside her sleeves, and for a moment her eyes were a little dazed, because she had no idea what to do next... She’d only followed Sui Yi here on a single thought...

"How should I go about looking for her? Or how long do I need to wait before she Reincarnates?"

She finally asked it anyway.

"If I’d lied to you earlier..."

Swish!

A streak of finger-light condensed in front of the spot between Sui Yi’s brows.

Mm... that was the answer. There wouldn’t be a second outcome.

Sui Yi watched Wang Qing with an easy smile... while the latter’s expression didn’t change at all... The wind blew, and the leaves above their heads rustled softly.

Sui Yi remained as she was.

Wang Qing withdrew her hand.

Because the finger-light was useless.

No need to point at her brow again.

"This isn’t funny, Sui... Teacher."

The cool, drawn-out tone showed that Wang Qing wasn’t all that close to her.

Mm... or rather, she was as distant and sharp as ever.

Sui Yi of course wouldn’t casually lie, but her mental circuits were often very self-centered. For example, when it came to Wang Qing’s question, her brain tripped a breaker, and instead she answered, "Just now, was that... the Nine Yin White Bone Claw?"

She’d seen Mei Chaofeng use it, but Mei’s Nine Yin White Bone Claw was vicious as hell, the claw-light pitch-black. Whereas this person’s... was silver-white, like crystal, like Ice Crystal... Of course, the aura was still the same old sinister, overbearing, and bone-chilling!

"Mm."

Which brought up the question.

Who was this person really...

"Your name..."

Sui Yi didn’t spell it out, and Wang Qing didn’t deny it. And so... (All right, here comes the name-guessing game again!)

Awkward?

The most awkward part was that these two non-humans didn’t even know what awkwardness was, so they just silently stared at each other...

Until two birds chirped and flitted between them... and dropped some bird shit.

The bird shit hit the ground.

Sui Yi turned her face away and laughed.

Wang Qing’s mouth twitched too.

Mm, this feeling~

"Let’s go... You probably can’t really accept this world yet, I need to tell you a few things..."

Sui Yi actually was much more relaxed than before. She picked out some key points about this world to gradually help her build up a basic understanding. Luckily, Wang Qing wasn’t just freakishly gifted in Martial Arts; her temperament and intellect were excellent too. The things Sui Yi mentioned might seem strange to her, but she accepted them pretty well, all the way until they reached the roadside...

The mountain they were on probably belonged to a national park. The scenic area was huge, and where they were was quite remote, a zone tourists weren’t allowed to enter alone. So after they stepped over the warning line, they walked down along the highway and found a bus stop.

And now the problem: no cash, no card, and their phones were out of battery. What were they supposed to do?
