Imperial Treasure-Chapter 1045 - 623: The Man in the Stone (Part 2)

Man.

Sufficient to bring her a sense of impending danger.

Then...

Her gaze suddenly halted.

Because of the starlight covering the sky.

Meteors scattered across the ground.

Glistening in the light.

They seemed within reach in the darkness, before her eyes, by her side.

Hell’s Wan Ge stared ahead dazedly.

Just for a moment, her eyes turned cold and rational.

Her fingers remained by Sui Yi’s neck.

Approximately three breaths.

She spoke.

"Miss Sui, thank you."

Sui Yi knew she was awake, and also knew about the fluctuating intentions to kill from the other side. It wasn’t because Hell’s Wan Ge had shown it too obviously, but because the distance was too close, and in her current weakened state, it was impossible for Sui Yi, who was originally stronger than her.

"Mm."

Sui Yi responded briefly, without asking how the other party recognized her.

Perhaps it was the scent, or maybe she saw through her disguise.

Anyway, Hell’s Wan Ge indeed possessed such abilities.

"Could you tell me what’s going on?"

Hell’s Wan Ge was eager to understand her current state more clearly.

Sui Yi casually explained the basics.

If it were Gong Jiu and Flower Demon, they’d probably be freaking out in various hysterical fits, ending with "This is awesome! Love it!"

But for Hell’s Wan Ge, it was simply....

"So the clothes I’m wearing are yours?"

She naturally noticed her nakedness under the oversized robe.

While Sui Yi was only wearing an inner garment.

"Mm."

And that was it.

Of course, Sui Yi also had a very important question for her.

"Have you watched... the Great Tang Double Dragon?"

Hoping she had seen it, it would make handling many things much easier.

"No."

Hell’s Wan Ge answered softly and directly.

Adding, "I’m not one of your Chinese people."

Meaning, if you haven’t seen it... how would I have?

Sui Yi could only feel regret.

About one Shichen later, Sui Yi led the weakened first assassin out of the mountain wall to the river source cave on the other side.

Suddenly seeing the sunlight, with the green mountains and clear waters, blue sky and white clouds before them, both of their expressions slightly eased up.

But soon...

There were people by the creek, many of them fishing and farming by the river.

Hell’s Wan Ge always disliked crowds, and feeling overly fatigued, leaned on Sui Yi’s shoulder.

The people here were startled to see a man emerging from the deep cave, carrying a woman on his back.

Their expressions varied from surprise and bewilderment to a Spartan level of astonishment.

Their expressions were indeed strange.

Sui Yi silently carried Hell’s Wan Ge through the trail, only getting a little farther...

"See, the woman he’s carrying isn’t wearing shoes."

"Those feet are so white... ouch, woman, why are you hitting me!"

"Smack you, you ungrateful lecher! These two are obviously up to no good, sneaking into that old cave for who-knows-what shenanigans, even losing their shoes, and you find this interesting!"

Why wouldn’t it be!

The curve of that exposed ankle is so enticing.

Whiter than snow, delicate and exquisite...

"Kill them for me, and I will repay you with tenfold heads in the future."

Hell’s Wan Ge’s soft words reached Sui Yi’s ears.

She paused and said, "No."

Hell’s Wan Ge could only remain silent.

Who made her in this ghostly state now.

But as she assessed the surroundings, her expression grew more solemn.

It was indeed another world.

Modern times don’t have such pristine environments.

The environmental index differed by thousands, see how beautiful the chickens and ducks are, living in such an environment for a hundred or two years could turn them into spirits.

But....

"Are you sure this is... the world in the book? I’ve never heard of such a bizarre concept, even by the theory of time-space it should be past or future."

And not jumping into a man’s book, it’s simply inexplicable.

Even Hell’s Wan Ge, someone of few words, couldn’t help but ask more.

"I don’t really understand either... but I vaguely heard Gong Jiu mention it before. These days, the people I’ve seen and things I’ve encountered don’t match complete orthodox history, it feels more like a martial arts world... and this world does indeed exist in a book."

"A flower, a world; a leaf, a Bodhi."

Hell’s Wan Ge didn’t speak.

Because she did not understand.

It wasn’t about IQ, growing up abroad she had no concept of the Chinese philosophical worldview.

Interestingly, Sui Yi seemed to know she didn’t understand.

"What people think may not necessarily be a reflection of a world, in other words, it’s the soul awareness that this universe grants sentient beings, which may not be without foundation..."

Cangwu can swap places in time and space, and this ability could be controlled by the High Priest, is this human power? Clearly not.

So conversely, is the author’s mental world also influenced by time-space, reflecting a different time-space world?

Hell’s Wan Ge was quiet for a while, and after a moment, she calmly said one sentence.

"You Chinese are quite strange,"

With whimsical and idealistic worldviews, plus such inexplicable novel ideas.

And this seven-parts martial arts, three-parts chaotic world is extremely dangerous for outsiders like them. Since masters abound who kill without hesitation, and as foreigners without any backing, death would simply mean death, with no compulsion for these native masters.

This was their greatest danger.

However, Sui Yi could find her and rescue her in just a month, Hell’s Wan Ge couldn’t help but acknowledge this person’s astonishing capability.

"In this regard, you’re quite similar to Natasha..." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

You both are quite odd.

Clearly fighting on the same front often, but frequently using tricks against each other, each refusing to give in...

"That’s not exactly a compliment."

Hell’s Wan Ge was indifferent about Natasha’s stance.

However, she didn’t speak ill of Natasha, if it were the other way around, and Natasha were here, she’d surely complain tirelessly about Hell’s Wan Ge.

Just like Gong Jiu and Flower Demon. (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)
