Chapter 2127: Dilemma, Dilemma

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

The eye of the underworld beast was the size of a human. Much less needed to be said about its body.

“Is this that underworld beast that hurt you before?” Sima You Yue asked.

“No.” Qin Qin looked at that colossal creature. Every part of her mind was stretched taut, afraid that it would suddenly rush over.

However, Sima You Yue was not that afraid. She watched the big fellow and said, “I feel like he does not want to attack us.”

“Wu wu-” The big fellow made a sound, as if he was agreeing with what she said.

“It doesn’t know how to speak? How can a big fellow like this not know how to speak?” Qin Qin asked with confusion.

“I don’t know. Maybe it’s been trapped here for far too long.” Sima You Yue swam over and tried reaching her head out to touch him.

The big fellow brushed his large head along her tiny little palm, his expression one of bliss.

Qin Qin saw that he really did not look vicious and relaxed quite a bit however, she did not get close to him like Sima You Yue did. She stared at the big fellow for a long while, saying, “Why do I feel like this underworld beast looks very ancient?”

After she said this, Sima You Yue felt like she could sense a bit of that as well. She watched the underworld beast carefully and suddenly felt like he was rather familiar. However, she could not put a finger on where she had seen him before.

“What are you thinking?” Qin Qin asked when she saw her zoning out.

“I feel like I’ve seen it before, but I can’t figure out where.” Sima You Yue said.

“Could it have been from an ancient text?” Qin Qin guessed, “For an underworld beast as ancient as this, you could only have seen it from there. It’s not like you could have seen it in real life.”

“Real life?” A scene flashed through Sima You Yue’s memory and she recalled where she had met it before.

She smiled as she patted the underworld beasts’ head, “So it turns out that you came from there as well.”

“You’ve figured out where you’ve seen this type of underworld beast?” Qin Qin asked.

“Mm. You’re right. This type of underworld beast really is from a clan from a long, long time ago.” Sima You Yue replied, “I went to Chaos World once, and there I saw a scene. Many underworld beasts came out from inside the chaos river. Its ancestors were one of the first. I merely caught a glimpse back then, and did not have much of an impression of it. I didn’t think that I would be able to meet this type of underworld beast in a place like this.”

“Heavens! You actually went to Chaos World! Isn’t it said that one can never return after going there?” Qin Qin looked at Sima You Yue with shock.

“That’s the usual case. However, mine just happened by coincidence! Something happened back then, but I’ll tell you about it next time when there’s time.”

“Alright.” Qin Qin knew as well that this was not the time to talk about this.

Sima You Yue recalled where she had met it before, and knew also why it felt so close to her.

The underworld beast had said before that she would be imbued with the aura from Chaos Realm since she had gone there before. She felt like this type of aura would make an incredibly ancient beast like this feel very close to her and draw them in.

She gave a thought and took out some water from the Chaos River. She used her spirit energy to send it to the side of the mouth of this underworld beast.

The underworld beast grunted when it saw the chaos river water, and swallowed it in a single gulp. Then, it brushed its head against Sima You Yue’s hand with eyes that were almost closed.

“Are you the guardian beast protecting the divine medicine?” Sima You Yue patted its head tenderly.

“Wu wu-” The underworld beast nodded, it seemed to understand what she was saying.

“I need the divine medicine now, can I?” Sima You Yue asked it for its opinion.

The underworld beast hesitated slightly.

Guarding the divine medicine was its life mission, and in its subconscious, it was unable to hand it over to anyone. However, it really liked this lady and did not want to go against her wishes. Also, she had that delicious, delicious water.

Dilemma, dilemma.

“If you give it to me, I’ll take you away from here, how about that? If you come with me, you will have a lot, a lot of chaos river water.” Sima You Yue continued to tempt it.

After battling itself for a long time, the underworld beast finally relented. Although it did not speak, Sima You Yue could tell from its eyes.

“Thank you!” Sima You Yue said gratefully.

The underworld beast led her to the second layer of the barrier, and many underworld beasts immediately swam over.

“You Yue!” Qin Qin’s voice trembled a little.

Sima You Yue followed her line of sight and saw many underworld beast with long sharp teeth swimming closer.

Those should have been the underworld beasts that had hurt her before.

“Wu wu-”

The ancient underworld beast growled in a low voice, and those underworld beast hesitated a bit, but they still left obediently.

It turned out that it was the boss!

Sima You Yue came beside the barrier. Even before she got Little Roar to open the barrier, the big fellow swam across it.

“The barrier is useless against it!”

“It is the guardian of the divine medicine. The barrier is naturally formed by the divine medicine, so it is only expected that it will be useless against it.” Sima You Yue said.

“That’s true.”

The big fellow swam over and saw that Sima You Yue had not yet come over, so it turned around and stuck half of its head outside. It used its teeth to grab onto Sima You Yue’s skirt and pulled her in.

When the colossal creature got closer, Qin Qin even thought that it wanted to eat Sima You Yue. It took a lot of self control to not attack it.

“Wu wu-”

The underworld beasts that were swimming not far away let out anguished cries. It felt as if they would immediately attack her if she dared to do anything.

“Qin Qin.”

Sima You Yue stretched out a hand from inside. Qin Qin held onto her hand and was pulled into the barrier.

“Phew phew- I thought that I’d have to fight again!” Qin Qin saw the underworld beasts rampaging outside because she had entered the barrier and rejoiced as she patted her chest.

The last time she had come down here, she had encountered half of those underworld beasts. Right now, there was double that. She did not have the strength nor confidence that she would be able to defeat them.

“I said that I would protect you. Of course I wouldn’t leave you outside all alone.” Sima You Yue said.

Qin Qin was rather moved. She thought that she was just messing around when she said that.

“The Divine Medicine is over there!”

On the top of a stone wall, the Teleost grew out of a crack in the middle. The branches, leaves and flower were swaying gracefully in the water.

“I’ll go over and pick it.” Sima You Yue swam over and carefully plucked the entire divine medicine. Then, she kept it in her Spirit Pagoda. Little Spirit picked the flower from the divine medicine and then planted the stolon into the chaos river.

After obtaining the Divine Medicine, Sima You Yue finally began to relax. She took out some chaos river water and fed it to the big fellow, grateful for his help.

She saw the underworld beasts rampaging outside and said to the big fellow, “Send us out, then come with us. Alright?”

“Wu wu-” The big fellow replied, which was considered as an agreement.

The barrier on the second layer started to disappear slowly because the divine medicine was gone. It was because the big fellow was around that the others did not dare to charge at them. The big fellow growled at them twice, and they followed behind them in an orderly fashion.

Sima You Yue saw the underworld beasts, who had lost their viciousness, and touched the big fellow on the head, asking, “You asked them to come with you, did you?”
