The Spirit World

Chapter 992 Shadow Pendant (Twenty-eight)
"Mr. Chang..."

She tried to cheer herself up by chatting.

In fact, she failed. She had fallen into a short sleep once, but she was too worried that something strange would happen and urged herself to wake up in her dream.

She did not wake up even when Artanis playfully set her hair on fire.

The reason she woke up now was simply because the death of the last servant during the day was too tragic for her to be at peace.

As soon as she closed her eyes, she could see a bloody mouth with a human head stuck in its sharp teeth. The tiger wanted to roar but couldn't, so it could only stare at its prey with its whiskers trembling.

She didn't even cry when the tiger beast was eating people, but now she burst into tears when Artanis teased her. It was not because she was bullying Artanis or was really scared by Artanis, but because the grievances in her heart burst out, making her too nervous.

She was so nervous that she felt exhausted. She didn't feel relaxed, she even felt sleepy. However, she vaguely thought that she didn't need to rest anymore.

Before the Era of Destruction, when she estimated that the moon had moved from the west bank to overhead, she called out to Chang Yufeng, and to her surprise, Chang Yufeng was not asleep and responded softly.

"I mean... um... I'm sorry... I mean..."

Her eyelids drooped slowly, and sleepiness made her face look haggard, while the bonfire quietly lay on the red stone, emitting warm flames.

"If you don't have any relatives in the Undying Hall, why did you travel all the way here... Are you close to the person you're meeting? Sir... or... Miss, that would make you seem... uh... important, right?"

The tail of her voice became longer and longer.

"I mean... um... sorry, I heard that the Immortal Hall is a mess... but I still came here... I can't understand why my parents sent me here... Maybe they think I need to find a good home... I'm not sure..."

She talked to herself, and the bow on her head fell down.

Her back felt a little cold, so she turned slightly to the side, facing Chang Yufeng, because her etiquette class taught her that she needed to face the audience when speaking.

"I feel like my parents have been training me to come to the social gathering since I was born... To be honest, I have never felt happy for a single day... I am not happy at all when I am with my parents. The reason why I agreed to come to the Immortal Hall with my parents..."

“No, no, no, no…”

It seemed that the more she talked, the less sleepy she felt.

In fact, she had taken a nap, which was why she was more energetic now.

"I should say that I need to meet my aunt's brother... If he thinks it's appropriate, I will stay here and get along with him, or even marry him... I know I shouldn't say this... but..."

The bitterness in her stomach finally bubbled up. She didn't know what was the point of telling this traveler about it, but she knew that she would feel much better if she spoke it out.

She called out to Mr. Chang Yufeng with her hat on, but could not get any closer.

She sat up straight, then bent down a little stiffly and put her face towards the flame. Artanis stopped teasing her and just looked at her quietly.

"I don't understand how much my parents have benefited to allow her to treat their daughter like this... In a few days, I may have to marry someone I have never met, and I am even related to her by blood... I have to call him cousin..."

She couldn't hear Chang Yufeng's answer, and his constant complaining aroused her yearning for the bad life she imagined, and she cruelly shed another tear.

She sighed and became quiet again.

Without the sun, no one knows when it is night. The only official timekeeping device is far away in the city of Fran. The border towns of the principality can only rely on the habits of living things to keep track of time.

But in the days when the sun has been gone for too long, people who have never cherished their time cannot understand the importance of recording time.

She didn't know how long she had waited until Chang Yufeng finished resting, she didn't know how many times she fell asleep due to exhaustion, and how many times she was awakened from her dreams by the terrifying tiger beast. She only knew that she finally waited for Chang Yufeng to stand up, and she stood up excitedly.

Chang Yufeng stood up, hung Artes on her back, and looked around inside the hood. She stood up like a flame, looking forward to seeing Chang Yufeng say the words she had been thinking about for too long.

"Shall we go? To the Hall of the Undying?"

She looked at Chang Yufeng eagerly, but she had no idea that this traveler who was resting with his sword was too tall, more than two heads taller than her. His strong physique and tall figure matched well together, as if a mountain separated her from the surrounding darkness.

The flames rose as Chang Yufeng stood up. Artanis jumped out from the red stone with a whoosh, and swept through Chang Yufeng's body like a prairie fire. The flames on her black robe were raging, and she screamed in shock and took a step back.

But what she didn't expect was that the fire would burn away the darkness around Chang Yufeng, making his entire figure bright like flint.

"you……"

She also needed to look up.

"Artanis, Cindercandle."

Before she could finish her exclamation, Chang Yufeng slung the sword across his shoulder. The flames climbed up the rhino skin and reached the tip of the sword. He held the sword with his hand tilted down and pointed the fire at the tip of the sword at the redstone at an extremely fast speed.

"Please, make way..."

Chang Yufeng tilted his head slightly to let the stunned her move aside, and she suddenly took a few steps back. Chang Yufeng then quickly continued to pull the sparks with his sword, spinning them from the campfire into the sky.

"call--"

The flaming wind condensed on the edge of Chang Yufeng's sword, transforming into a tornado of light, as if it were a candlestick, bursting out in an instant.

The light is like the tide, bathing with the sky.

"Wow……"

She collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, and saw Chang Yufeng putting away his sword. The sky also gradually darkened along with Chang Yufeng.

The dazzling light just now disappeared, and the world fell into darkness again.

"There is indeed a church here. It is very large, equivalent to a town. They believe in the White Church. The statue of the White Church Saint is in the center of the church. There are five areas with five teams stationed there, fully equipped. There are 351 people in total, and 1325 people live around the church."

Artanis turned into a movable Mars and hid in Chang Yufeng's heart, reporting the surrounding situation.

"There is a wolf den five thousand meters east of the church. There are several teams of werewolves patrolling around it. From what I can see, they are not from the same group. Because there is a team of fully armed humans patrolling around it. They were all scared by us."

Chang Yufeng began to put the sword on his back, and a faint green light covered his black robe. Only then did he seem to "notice" her a little.

"Let's go..."

He finally looked up at her. She stood there in a daze, shocked once again by his eyes.

What kind of eyes are those, able to be so sharp as a knife?

"Ying, I'm here to pick you up and take you home."

Chinese New Year... after finishing the work... it should be about the same...
