Chapter 926: Little Black Eggs and Rakshasa Egg!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The map in the Sorcerer Stone was drawn on the parchment by Shadow Six with cinnabar. No one knew how young this bead was, so no one knew if this could lead to the former Sorcerer Clan.
Or perhaps, when they really went over, there would be no so-called Sorcerer Clan. But no matter what, as long as there was a chance, they could not give up.
Xiao Zhao’s departure made Yu Wan very sad for a while. When she thought of the thin child, the little fellow who had learned to wheedle and act cute in her arms, she could not bear to part with him.
‘We’ll meet again, right…” Yu Wan muttered and put away the clothes that Xiao Zhao had worn.
The three little black eggs were also very sad. When they woke up, their brother was gone. Who could understand the pain in their hearts?
“Grow up quickly. When you grow up, you can go look for Xiao Zhao,” Yu Wan said as she stroked their heads.
The three of them nodded solemnly. “Mm!”
Shadow Six spent an entire night and finally drew the map in the Sorcerer Stone. The Nether Capital was also on the map, but there was no sign. Instead, it was marked with the old site of the Ghost Clan. This was not surprising. After all, when the ancestors of the Sikong Clan left this map, they did not expect their descendants to move the capital.
“It’s a map from a thousand years ago. Is it really still useful? A few small saplings have grown into a forest, and the small pond has condensed into a stream. How can we find it?” Qing Yan held the map and said with a defeated expression.
Opposite him sat Yu Wan and Shadow Six.
‘That’s you!” Shadow Six took the map over. If the Nether Capital and the Ghost Clan weren’t on the map, it might be really difficult to find the right path. However, with the two of them, he could roughly estimate the size of each mountain range and forest according to the distance and ratio on the map. Even if the terrain changed, the distance and direction wouldn’t change.
Of course, this sounded easy, but it was really a test of one’s mental calculations and observation skills.
“Are you confident?” Yu Wan asked.
“Yes.” Shadow Six nodded. “There’s no problem with Young Master and Thirteen reminding me.”
Yu Wan said softly, “Alright, everyone rest well tonight and set off tomorrow morning. By the way, how are Asura and Ah Wei’s situation?”
The two of them had been in seclusion for a few days, but there were no signs of them coming out of seclusion.
At the mention of this, Qing Yan was both happy and worried. He was happy that the two of them had been in seclusion for so long and that their breakthrough in cultivation would be even stronger than he had imagined. He was worried that they were about to set off, but the two of them had yet to come out of seclusion. What should he do?
“Young Master’s illness can’t be delayed…” Shadow Six said tactfully.
“I know! That’s why I’m worried!” Qing Yan was about to cry.
“Why don’t…” Shadow Six looked at Yu Wan, who shook her head. There was no way to wait. They didn’t know how dangerous the trip to the Sorcerer Clan was, but they were sure that even a small Nether Capital was filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. If there were really still Sorcerer Clan’s members alive in the place of origin of the Sorcerer Clan, they would definitely not be easier to deal with than Nether Capital. Therefore, having one more expert would be a very precious help to them.
“We’ll make plans tomorrow morning. You guys rest early. I’ll go back to my room.” With that, Yu Wan stood up and left Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen’s room.
Just as she reached the small garden, Sikong Changfeng arrived.
“Ah Wan.” Sikong Ye actually came too.
Yu Wan looked at Sikong Changfeng and then at Sikong Ye. She greeted, “Great Grandpa, Young Master Sikong, are you here for me?”
The two of them nodded. Sikong Changfeng bowed respectfully to Sikong Ye. “Greetings, Ancestor.”
Sikong Ye nodded indifferently and glanced at him. “Ah Wan, come to my room later.’
“Okay,” Yu Wan agreed.
Sikong Ye strode back into the house.
Sikong Changfeng originally planned to let the Ancestor talk to Yu Wan first while he waited outside. He did not expect the Ancestor to be so considerate and give him the opportunity first.
It seemed that ever since Ah Wan and the others came, the ancestor had become more considerate and easy to talk to.
Sikong Changfeng was happy with the ancestor’s change, but he was a little sad about the separation. His eyes darkened and he sighed. “Ah Wan, you’re leaving, right?”
“Yes,” Yu Wan said. “We’ve found a map to the Sorcerer Clan. We’ll set off tomorrow morning.”
Sikong Changfeng suddenly looked up at her. “So soon? Aren’t you going to stay for a few more days?”
Yu Wan shook her head slightly. “Yan Jiuchao’s poison can’t be delayed anymore. It has to be treated as soon as possible.”
“A poison like the Fragrance of Hundred Miles is really the most difficult poison in the world to detoxify.” Sikong Changfeng frowned. He really hoped that Yu Wan could stay. Not only was it because she had the bloodline of the Saint King, but the Lan family and the Nether Capital also needed her. It was also because… he actually couldn’t bear to part with her. However, he could only silently hide this reluctance in his heart.
“Thank you for coming to say goodbye to me.” Yu Wan smiled slightly. Yu Wan had a good impression of Sikong Changfeng. Although he was born
into a top-notch aristocratic family, he did not have the bad habits of a young master from aristocratic families, nor did he give up on himself because of the unfair treatment he had suffered since he was young. He had grown into an upright and kind person, worthy of the best woman in the Nether Capital entrusting her life to him.
“I hope I’ll already have a cousin-in-law the next time I return to the Nether Capital,” she said with a smile.
Sikong Changfeng was stunned. Ah Wan… recognized him as her cousin? Because he was too shocked, he forgot to say that there was no other woman who could move his heart.
“Cousin, take care.” Yu Wan bowed.
“Wait!” Sikong Changfeng suddenly came back to his senses and remembered that he was looking for her. “I was so focused on talking to you that I forgot about business.’
“Huh?” Yu Wan looked at him in surprise.
He took out a portrait from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Wan. “If the painting isn’t good, Ah Wan, please bear with me.”
Yu Wan took the portrait, untied the ribbon, and slowly unfolded it. A strong ink fragrance wafted over.
In the portrait were four little fellows wearing flowery clothes, a big red flower on their heads, flying eyebrows, and fiery red lips. The three little black eggs and the Rakshasa egg had their hands on their hips. They raised their heads and laughed loudly. They seemed to have heard the two rows of pig cries through the rice paper.
Yu Wan burst into laughter, her eyes moist. “Thank you.”
Two thank yous. The first was politeness, and this one was sincere gratitude.
After bidding farewell to Sikong Changfeng, Yu Wan went to Sikong Ye’s room. When the Rakshasa King was around, this room was always lively. The two of them fought at the head of the bed and made up at the end of the bed. A few things in the room had to break every day, and it gave the disciples a headache. Now that the Rakshasa King was no longer around, the things did not break, but everyone was willing for things to continue breaking.
“Great-grandpa,” Yu Wan called softly.
Sikong Ye was already asleep, holding the memorial tablet of Saintess Lan Yi in his arms.
With his peak strength, how could he not notice the commotion of someone entering?
Yu Wan walked over quietly and tucked him in. At this moment, she really felt that this man was old. He had protected the Nether Mountain and the Sikong family for the rest of their lives. It was time for him to be taken care of.
Yu Wan guarded in front of the bed for a while and covered him with a blanket several times. It was not until late at night and he was completely asleep that Yu Wan stood up and left.
The next day, Yu Wan and the others planned to set off.
The milk Asura and Ah Wei were still in seclusion. Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao discussed for a while and decided to let Qing Yan and Yue Gou stay. After their Asura and Ah Wei came out of seclusion, they would go to the Sorcerer Clan together.
“We’ll leave a signal along the way. Ah Wei can use Gu worms to track us,” Yu Wan said to Qing Yan and Yue Gou.
The two of them nodded reluctantly.
“I’ll leave Grandma to you. Ah Wan, take good care of him,” Qing Yan said solemnly.
They couldn’t let go of Ah Wan, nor could they let go of Grandma, who was already old. However, Grandma couldn’t not go because only he knew the matters of the Sorcerer and Saintess Clans the best.
“There’s no need for me to go.” Old Cui rubbed his nose resentfully. “If that kid’s poison acts up again, unless there’s an antidote, Hua Tuo won’t be able to save him.”
Shadow Six exploded. “Then go over and concoct the antidote!”
Old Cui snorted and “reluctantly” took the seventeen to eighteen boxes of luggage that he had packed for half the night.
Everyone:
When Sikong Ye came over, everyone’s luggage was almost packed.
“Great-grandpa.” When Yu Wan saw him come over, she smiled and walked over to greet him. “Did you sleep well last night? I was just about to bid you farewell. We’re leaving.”
“I know. Actually, I’m also here to bid farewell to you,” he said. Not only did his gaze sweep across Yu Wan and the others, but it also landed on Master Sikong and Sikong Changfeng.
Sikong Changfeng realized something and asked in confusion, “Ancestor, where are you going?”
“I’m leaving the Nether Mountain,” Sikong Ye said.
“Ancestor!” Master Sikong’s expression changed. He looked at his dantian and said, “Your injury…”
Sikong Ye smiled and did not answer him. Instead, he stroked Yu Wan’s head lovingly. “I originally planned to go with Ah Wan and Jiuchao, but with my current strength, I can’t protect them. I’m prepared to go to Nanzhao to see my and Lan Yi’s children.’
As he spoke, he hugged Yu Wan’s little body tightly and pressed his chin against her forehead. “I’m sorry, Ah Wan. Great Grandpa can’t continue to protect you..”
