"Uh..." The moment the boys went away, Xie Mingzhu hold onto her chest and spat out blood.
"Mo–mother!" Lin Yue quickly looks at her in horror, surprise, and panic.
As if knowing what was going on in her head, Xie Mingzhu smiled weakly.
"Mother is just a little weak from battling so many people."
Lin Yue sighed softly, worry still written on her face.
"So... Mother, where are we going now?" She finally asked.
"We are going to be living here." Xie Mingzhu said.
"Uh? Where? Here?" Lin Yue look around to search for any nearby house around but she saw none, just as she was beginning to wonder if something was wrong with her mother, Xie Mingzhu suddenly took out a leaf from her storage ring.
The leaf didn't look real, it was dark green, with white elastic veins and a very sharp edge.
Xie Mingzhu's Spiritual Power filled her hand, and the leaf was moved into midair. After that, Lin Yue witness another surprise.
The leaf started producing a white transparent light that covered over a kilometer, just as she was wondering what was going on, a white transparent door was opened, and then she was dragged into it by her mother.
The moment Lin Yue entered, she felt her head spins and thankfully, her mother was holding onto her hand.
After a while, the giddy feeling got away and when Lin Yue look at her surroundings, a gasp left her mouth.
There were two big houses, big fruit trees, and so on. She look at the new environment in a daze until she heard her mother's voice.
"Yue'er, this place is an artificial world, the time here is only two times faster than the normal time. Here, we can cultivate for as long as we like, except that we will be lonely. Only you and I, no one else. In this place, we can quietly find out how to resolve the powerful spell Emperor Wu casts at us."
"...Do you know alchemy too?" Lin Yue asked hesitantly, and a smile graced Xie Mingzhu's lips as she shook her head.
"Of course not, do I have the fire element?."
"So... We are depending on me to solve this spell?" Lin Yue was shocked.
"Yeah, you might see the recipe in your master's ring."
"Sighs, know that coming here was totally a last-minute decision, our aim was to also go to Red Moon Empire but then, this happened so we can only come here to solve the spell first." The woman added, and Lin Yue nodded to show that she understood.
Yawning, Xie Mingzhu walks inside the house.
Lin Yue stood still in the same place, looking at the artificial world, there was the sun, and so there would be day and night. She must leave this place, all-powerful, and the sooner the better.
Blinking, she walked to the kitchen, her stomach was grumbling from hunger already.
There was naturally food, and this made her wonder what would happen to them when the food run out. Wouldn't they have to go out? She sighed at the thought of this.
She then decided to cook something but it was then that she remembered she didn't even recognize some ingredients. God help her, then she walked outside to one of the trees to do what was required of her.
However, she suddenly saw a mirror in one of the tree branches.
Frowning, she looks very well at the mirror, and there, there were men in the imperial armor patrolling round the surrounding.
"It would have been good if I can see their face up close." She muttered, and then, the mirror magnified to her surprise.
Now, she can see their expression very well.
"Their scents end here, could they have entered into the ground?" Soldier One said.
"Hunter Jade can even smell someone that was buried deep down the earth, except... When the person is dead."
"Hunter Jade? Could that have been the name of the jade?" Lin Yue thought to herself.
"I think so too, we've been searching for them for over an hour yet they had disappeared without a trace. The general woman is really headstrong, not willing to be down even after her husband is down." Soldier three added, hand on his waist as he look around.
"Well, let's not delay anymore and report this to his majesty, maybe there will be a solution before things get even more out of hand." Soldier One said, to which the others nodded in support and they started walking out of the forest.
After that, what remains was the chirping of birds from one tree to another.
Lin Yue closed her eyes and her consciousness went into her storage ring.
The space inside was as big as a room. The things there range from precious beast cores to herbs. Also, there were different kinds of weapons, beds, and even books.
