Chapter 417: Because he likes you!

Wu Lingyu did not speak. He merely continued to watch her.
Sima You Yue couldn’t be bothered to deal with him, and was prepared to walk past him and return to her house to tidy up those books and pill ingredients. When she walked past him, he grabbed on to her arm. Before she could say anything, he grabbed her waist and her entire person was carried up into the sky.
“Wu Lingyu what are you doing?!” She didn’t expect him to do this when he just came back. He actually took her away right in front of her clan.
When the clansmen heard her shout, they raised their heads and saw that she had been taken away by a guy.
“Not good, You Yue’s been kidnapped!”
“Let’s quickly rescue her!”
“Ah? Where is she?”
Those people had merely shouted these two sentences, when they lost sight of the duo in the air.
“That’s right, they just flew up there. How could they completely disappear?”
“Where did they fly to?”
Bei Gong Tang came out of her room and saw that the sky was filled with people. She called out, “No worries, you can all head back.”
“What about You Yue?”
“She’ll be fine. She’ll come back once they finish talking.” After she said this, she returned to her house.
Those people exchanged glances. They had no idea where she went anyway, so how were they going to chase after her! They might as well listen to her and head back down.
However, they were still worried. It seemed as if You Yue was kidnapped by a guy. She should be fine, right?
Sima You Yue was caught by Wu Lingyu, and they flew out of Ink City in the blink of an eye. It looked like he had gotten much stronger recently.
“Hey, where do you plan on taking me?” She could not help but cry out in complaint when she saw that his expression was dark and was flying aimlessly.
Wu Lingyu lowered his head and glanced at her. He still didn’t speak, and continued to fly forward.
Sima You Yue glared hatefully at him, then with a single thought, disappeared from his grasp. She appeared three metres away.
Wu Lingyu didn’t think that Sima You Yue could do this and said, “You actually know Shunpo 1 ?”
“Hmph hmph.” Sima You Yue didn’t reply him either. She merely looked away and refused to look at him.
Shunpo was not something that one could learn just because they wanted to. They had to have a very high level of comprehension of space, and had to find a point in space that connected to each other. This was the way to shunpo.
Shunpo depended on one’s thought, while things like Old Man Mo’s opening of space depended on one’s strength.
Wu Lingyu never thought that Sima you Yue would have such a high level of comprehension of space that she was able to shunpo. Although she could only shunpo a few metres, this was the entrance to it. Since she managed to step into the entrance, she would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
Seeing that she had turned away and refused to look at him, he became increasingly enraged. He wanted to charge up and vent it on her. However, he suddenly drifted down from the sky.
In the beginning, Sima You Yue thought that he was pretending. However, seeing that he continued to fall down like a broken kite, she furrowed her eyebrows and chased after him. She caught him in the nick of time, and pulled his hand with one hand, and grabbed his waist with another. She took him down slowly.
She realised that he had really fainted, and his aura was unstable, so she quickly examined him.
“Damn!”
She placed his body on the grass, then fed him a pill. After that, she sat at the side and waited for him to wake up.
“Aren’t you coming out yet?” She suddenly voiced out. There wasn’t a single person around her.
“I knew it was you. The guy inside Wu Lingyu’s body.” She looked at the person opposite her and voiced out.
A ray of light flashed, and Fire Qilin appeared in front of Sima You Yue.
“You can actually come out on your own.” Sima You Yue said while looking at Fire Qilin, “If I couldn’t rescue him just now, you wouldn’t have let him fall to his death, I suppose.”
Fire Qilin looked at Sima You Yue. He really didn’t know why this guy was so angry at her. He was even so angry that his soul became unstable, and this kind of situation happened.
However, this time, his fainting spell was unlike the previous times. He could even wander outside his body at this time on his own. It wasn’t like that time on Puluo Mountain range, where he wasn’t able to.
“What’s wrong with your master?” Sima You Yue asked, “Was he injured up above?”
“Eh?” Fire Qilin couldn’t understand why Sima You Yue would ask this. However, he still replied honestly, “Nope. Why?”
“He didn’t?” Sima You Yue’s eyebrows furrowed. Then could it be because Mo Sha and him had separated for too long?
“Why do you ask me this?” Fire Qilin was confused.
“His soul became unstable when he fainted this time. If he wasn’t injured, why would he faint?” Sima You Yue asked.
“…”
Fire Qilin saw this person whose comprehension was slow. He really felt it was unfair for Wu Lingyu.
His master was up there thinking about this and that, but she didn’t know a thing
“You want to know why his soul was so unstable?” Fire Qilin looked at her lightly.
Sima You Yue was thrown off by the gaze that Fire Qilin looked at her with. She subconsciously wanted him not to say it. It was as if something would change if he said it.
However, Fire Qilin wanted to help his master fight, so he said, “Because his soul was already weak to begin with. It’s not because he was injured, but because he hasn’t had soul fluid to drink for a long time.”
“Didn’t master take some soul fluid up for him?” Sima You Yue couldn’t understand.
“But he didn’t know. Because he had been trapped. For your sake.” Fire Qilin said.
“My sake?” Sima You Yue was even more confused. How did this guy get trapped for her sake?
“Right, because of you.” Fire Qilin said angrily, “Because those people from the valley the last time said that you lacked array books, he wanted to think of a way to get you those array books. Previously, he heard that there was a graveyard that contained a long lost array book, so he wanted to get it for you. In the end, he was trapped by that array for a year. He only managed to get out today. As a result, his soul fluid stash had been depleted. We only got this information because we were prepared to come looking for you a few days ago.”
Sima You Yue’s expression changed. She cried out, “He hasn’t taken any soul fluid for a year?!”
“That’s right.” Fire Qilin looked at her expression and his heart relaxed a bit. He continued, “He immediately rushed here the moment he exited the array, and heard that you dressed as a girl, so he was rather angry. After that, because of his anger, his soul couldn’t take it. That’s why he fainted.”
“Since he knew that this was something left behind by a great array master, it would definitely have a protection array. Why would he still go and get it.” Sima You Yue huffed, “Furthermore, he didn’t take any soul fluid for such a long time, so shouldn’t he first head to the Divine Devil Valley? How could he take his life as a joke!”
“Because he likes you. He couldn’t forget you ever since he came back from Puluo Mountain range.” Fire Qilin said, “Although I am his contracted beast, I don’t understand why he likes a brat like you. Although your talent isn’t bad, you’re about the same as those other girls up there. Alright. I’ve said all there is to say. Since he has become this way for you, you should take care of him properly.”
After speaking, he returned to the contractual space with a flash.
Sima You Yue’s anger dissipated when she heard Fire Qilin say that Wu Lingyu liked her. When Fire Qilin left, she looked at the unconscious person with a complicated look.
