Chapter 1321: The Path Of Apocalypse (44)

Outside the Apocalypse Pagoda…

The people who were teleported out of the pagoda were stunned.

How did they suddenly come out?

“What were those things?” Someone still felt frightened by what happened.

“I don’t know. I saw someone dropping to the floor after he went near the door.”

Everyone discussed among themselves.

“Family Lord Long…”

Someone called out. Everyone looked over at the Long family.The Long family and the people from Lie Yang Country were the ones who led them in.

They should know what happened.

Actually, Family Lord Long was not certain, either. He only suggested going in because he knew from his ancestor that the Apocalypse Pagoda was in its dormant stage now.

However, his ancestor didn’t tell him that those doors made from golden light would appear.

Right at this moment—

A loud bird chirp was heard in the air. Everyone looked up.

A blue bird emerged out of the water above.

Colorful water droplets dripped down its brightly colored tail.This…

The holy bird Jing Yu?

The bird glided around the Apocalypse Pagoda twice before landing on the surface of the water.

“Someone is coming out…”

Dan Jing saw Ming Shu and wanted to go over. However, Ming Shu didn’t stop at all. She jumped onto Jing Yu’s back.

Jing Yu chirped and spread its wings. It flew into the water in the sky and disappeared.

The chirp of the bird got fainter. It flew further away.

A man looked up at the Spirit Water above him. He was in a daze.

“What happened to you?” his companion beside him asked.“I think… I saw the eldest princess of Liyang Country… Princess Shuyang,” the man muttered to himself.

The person beside him couldn’t hear him properly. “What did you say?”

The man shook his head. “Nothing.”

He must have seen wrong.

But… she looked similar to the picture he saw in that notebook.

This eldest princess…

She was once the most well-loved princess of the Liyang royal family, the Ming family.

The name of the country was written in her title. This showed how pampered she was.

But…

After what happened, the entire Ming family was annihilated. Even the branch families were killed. Only Princess Shuyang remained.She shouldn’t appear here.

If she appeared…

No, no… that is definitely not her.

This happened so long ago.

Now, the Liyang royal family was the Dan family. No one knew about the Ming family.

He knew all this because he found the notebook coincidentally. All these frightening stories were written in the notebook.

One of the stories was about the eldest princess, Princess Shuyang.

…At the Thousand Mirror Mountain…

Xiu Huan came to welcome Ming Shu with some men. “Lord?”

“To the reiki pool.”

Xiu Huan glanced at Qi Yu. “Yes.”

Qi Yu looked at the reiki pool and felt uncomfortable. He hugged Ming Shu. He didn’t want to go in.

Ming Shu: “…”

Ming Shu tried to pull his hand away. Cold sweat appeared on Qi Yu’s forehead due to the pain, but he didn’t let go.

Ming Shu asked Xiu Huan and the others to leave.

Once the door was closed, Ming Shu carried Qi Yu over and they went into the pool together.

Qi Yu: “…”

He had to resist the pain as well as his disgust. His face was pale. He looked so weak, like a punch was enough to kill him.

Ming Shu placed him at the side and made to take his clothes off.

She said, “I lied to you last time. The reiki pool is made from the purest reiki.”

“Really… really?” Qi Yu was still suspicious.

“Yes.”

Qi Yu stared at her. “Why did you scare me then?”

“Erm…” Ming Shu smiled. She started taking off his pants.

Qi Yu had no energy in him so he could only watch on.

Ming Shu leaned close to him. “Follow my instructions later.”

She needed to suck out all the reiki in his body and substitute it with her power of origin. That way, even if a part of his spirit was lost, there would be no big problems with his body. He would just be a little weaker.

When he found his lost spirit, his power would increase exponentially.

But…

The fastest method was to take back the power of origin she gave him.

That way, he would not have to suffer from the pain when these two reiki forces collided.

This was her best choice.

However, she would not be unable to ascertain that he could remain conscious and still remember her without a part of his spirit.

Ming Shu suddenly leaned into Qi Yu and kissed him. Qi Yu’s back was against the wall of the pool. Ming Shu held his head. The warm water flowed around his body.

The pain in his body and the excitement Ming Shu was causing him formed a strange kind of ecstasy.

…

Xiu Huan waited outside the hall till the sky turned dark. Yet, she still stood there like a statue.

Jing Yu perched on a roof a distance away. Little Beastie sat on its head and looked in this direction silently.

There were many bright spots in the night sky. It looked like a sea of stars.

Ming Shu opened the door and walked out.

“Lord.”

Ming Shu nodded. She sent Qi Yu to his room. She sat beside the bed and held his hand.

“When I leave, I’ll make him fall into a deep sleep. Take good care of him. If he wakes up, knock him unconscious. Be careful. Don’t hurt him.”

Xiu Huan: “…”

This is a little difficult!

“Yes.”

However, she still agreed.

Xiu Huan asked carefully, “Lord, where are you going?”

Ming Shu sighed.

“You can leave first.”

Xiu Huan felt puzzled when Ming Shu didn’t reply to her. She left the room slowly.

Ming Shu didn’t leave immediately.

The next day, Qi Yu woke up. His face was still pale, but the pain on his body had disappeared.

He lay under the silk blanket. He remembered what happened yesterday.

He pursed his lips and turned to look for Ming Shu.

No one was there.

“…”

He got out of bed. He only wore innerwear so he took some outerwear and placed it on his body.

The moment he placed his feet on the floor, he felt dizzy. He held onto the side of the bed and stabilized himself. It took him a while.

The sun was shining brightly.

“Mister.” Xiu Huan’s voice came from the side. Qi Yu glanced at her. The lady in the purple dress slowly moved toward him. She stopped two meters away from him and bowed. “You are awake.”

“Where is my wife?”

“Lord is at the reiki pool. Do you want to go over?”

Qi Yu thought about something. He shook his head. “No… I will not go over.”

He could remember faintly what happened yesterday.

Xiu Huan said, “Please wait in your room. Food will be sent over soon.”

Qi Yu nodded. He turned and went back to his room.

Xiu Huan brought Qi Yu’s food over before going to the reiki pool.

“Is Lord still not out yet?”

The person guarding the door shook his head. “No. Lord’s face didn’t look good…”

“Guard her carefully.” Xiu Huan stopped the person. “Don’t talk too much.”

“Yes.”

Xiu Huan stood there for a moment before leaving. She walked into a huge hall.

There were many people working hard in the hall.

“Xiu Huan, do you think Lord likes this?”

A lady placed a thin shaw over her shoulders and spun around. “I forced those things on Weave Gold Mountain to cry the entire night, but this is all I got. I don’t dare to go to Weave Gold Mountain again. This is enough to make Dan clothes.”

Xiu Huan took the shaw. She twisted it a little. “Yes, you can make it.”

“Sure.”

“Yes.”

Xiu Huan walked once around the hall. “Everyone hasten your pace.”

All the people in the hall answered simultaneously, “Yes.”
