2120 A guide for Reaper's Valley(Chapter preview)

Sima You Yue, Wu Lingyu and Qin Qin sat in a room on the highest floor of Knavery Pavilion. They chatted as they ate and watched Nai He and Mo Yu chasing after each other from the window.

"I really am envious of you. You've gone to so many places." Qin Qin said with jealousy, "I've wasted so many years in the Abyss of Hell."

"You're not from the Ghost Clan." Sima You Yue said.

"I'm not. I am the descendent of two humans." Qin Qin said, "The descendent of two humans who went back on their oaths. For someone with an identity like mine, who wouldn't disdain me? Who wouldn't say that I'm genetically modified?"

"The people here don't know about things like genetic modification. Sima You Yue swirled the wine glass in her hand, "There are few humans who are able to survive in the Abyss of Hell. Even rarer so to have both parents who are able to. To be a human born in the Abyss of Hell… you're probably the first one."

"Haha, thank you for your comfort." Qin Qin raised her glass and tapped it to hers.

"Abyss of Hell is different from the Human Realm. You can cultivate extremely powerful arts here that would shock anyone."

Qin Qin smiled bitterly, "Not me, my original body. When I came, my cultivation was extremely strong. However, I don't know why. I can't remember anything about cultivating. It's like an empty hole. In the beginning, I didn't even know how to control the power in my body."

"Who knows, it might have been yours all along." Sima You Yue said, "You brought it into the body."

"Who knows!" Qin Qin pursed her lips, "In any case, it's mine now. It is enough to protect me in a place like this, so it's enough."

"That's true." Sima You Yue felt like her not feeling the urge to investigate wasn't bad. "There's something that I'm more curious about. Those humans who went back on their oaths have no way of leaving the Abyss of Hell, but what about their descendants? Have you tried it before?"

"I've tried it before. It's not possible." Qin Qin said, "The moment I want to leave the Abyss of Hell, I will evoke a lightning tribulation. Nai He told me before that, if I was ever able to survive the lightning tribulation, I might be able to cross over. However, I've never had the courage to be struck by lightning. It's not like I have a lightning rod installed on my head!"

"But you want to go out." Sima You Yue said.

Qin Qin laughed helplessly, "I do. Of course I do. I don't want to be trapped here, but someone who has died once before is even more afraid of dying."

Sima You Yue understood. If it was not someone like herself, they would definitely be afraid of lightning tribulation.

"If there's ever a chance in the future, I can help you." Sima You Yue said.

"You can help me? You can survive lightning tribulation?"

"I'm used to being struck." Sima You Yue shrugged.

Then, she told her about the times she had been struck.

"Well damn. You're a walking lightning rod!" Qin Qin's eyes shone when she heard her, "Tsk tsk, I really didn't think you would be so sturdy!"

"If you can wait for me to leave once I finish doing my things, I might be able to help you if you want to leave this place."

"Alright! What are you going to do? Can I help you? For how long more are you planning to stay here? No way, I have to go with you. What will I do if I can't find you when the time comes!" Qin Qin excitedly kept chatting.

How many years had it been? She finally saw a chance to leave!

"Let's talk again when I've exited Reaper's Valley." Sima You Yue said, "When that time comes, you can come with me."

"You want to go into Reaper's Valley?"

"Right!"

"You've already formed a group?"

"Formed it. Now that you mentioned it, you're the one who came up with this idea of forming groups, aren't you?"

"That's right! In the modern times, there were so many various groups of this and that. Why would I not bring that idea here?" Qin Qin said, "You don't have to go with those groups. I'll take you."

"You?" Sima You Yue looked her up and down, "Aren't you afraid of the dangers in there?"

"Before I transmigrated here, the original body grew up in Reaper's Valley. Tell me, who could possibly be more familiar with it than I am?"

"What?!" Sima You Yue was truly shocked this time, "You grew up in Reaper's Valley?"

"That's right! The parents of the original body lived in the Abyss of Hell, but it was no easy feat. Although places like Reaper's Valley were rather dangerous, at least they didn't have to worry about other people attacking them."

"That's true." Sima You Yue understood this as well, "If you could go with me, that would be beyond perfect."

"Just report that you're pulling out of the group. It's more difficult with more people."

"Do I have to pay for backing out?"

"I can tell that you have a lot of money just by looking at you. You care about this small amount?"

"I care!" Sima You Yue said resolutely.

"..." Qin Qin rolled her eyes, "I'll get someone to pay for it when we're back."

"Alright!"

"Now that it's settled, I'll follow you from now on."

"Alright!"

"Boom-"

A burst of spirit energy crashed into the room, but Wu Lingyu casually dispelled it. Then, Nai He flew in from outside. He glared at Sima You Yue, "Even without mentioning the trouble you caused just now, you're even abducting my helper. I'm not going to let you.."

Wu Lingyu was already prepared to act when Sima You Yue stopped him. She took out a name token and Nai He's threat died in the back of his throat.

"Junior Nephew, it's a huge crime to threaten murder on a fellow sect disciple!" Sima You Yue said languidly.

Nai He glared at Sima You Yue with a death stare and suddenly kept away his murderous aura. He pulled on Mo Yu, who was standing behind him, and sat down in an empty seat. He said, "Little Martial Uncle, why would a busy person like you have the time to run over to the Abyss of Hell?"

"Didn't Yan Ya and the others tell you that I would be coming? You even told me to look for you if I needed anything. What, do your words not count anymore?" Sima You Yue's smile was like asking for a beating.

Qin Qin and Mo Yu looked at Sima You Yue in shock, "You're actually his Little Martial Uncle? You're someone from the Hidden Sect?"

"That's right!" Sima You Yue replied, "I enrolled rather late, but I was lucky enough to receive the recognition of the elders. That's why Nai He is one of my Junior Nephews."

"Tsk tsk, I couldn't tell, but you're an old coot!" Qin Qin sighed.

"I just wanted to come get an idea of and to see what kind of marvel the sect produced. Who would have expected you to really come here." Nai He huffed icily, "Since you're here, then fine. Why did you intentionally cause trouble for me?"

"Are you talking about what happened just now? Wasn't it because I didn't know whether or not you were that person? That's why I had to get her to draw you out. That way, if I had gotten the wrong person, nobody would know."

"That way, the one who was disgraced would be me." Nai He said.

"You say it as if you wouldn't have been disgraced if you didn't go out like this!" Qin Qin mocked him.

"Qin Qin!" Nai He retorted.

"What? I can hear you even without you raising your voice." Qin Qin wasn't afraid of him at all, "Nai He, I'm telling you, you better not try to stop me. I'm going to follow your Little Martial Uncle and play!"

"Pfft-"

"Play?" The few of them didn't understand what she meant.

"It means that I'm going to go with her. We've already made a deal. Once she leaves Reaper's Valley, I'm going to go with her. You can't stop me." Qin Qin said.

"You want to seek death?" Nai He's expression darkened instantly, "Don't you know that you can't leave the Abyss of Hell?"

"Your Little Martial Uncle will help me." Qin Qin said, "Oh right, what are you going to Reaper's Valley to look for?"
