The Ancient Realm Goddess
Three Girls
Qing Yue'er followed Ding Yuhua until she arrived at a basement. The place had several guards who looked quite well trained. This possibility is quite an important asset for the region.
Ding Yuhua brought him to the end of the room. There is a wooden box that is not too big. When it was opened, inside the box was a bamboo slip. The size is small, on the surface there are very small writings.
"We discovered this technique while hunting the burial ground. Since the competition was close, so we decided to make it as a competition prize" said Ding Yuhua. He handed the bamboo slip to Qing Yue'er.
Qing Yue'er immediately accepted it. He checked the bamboo slips. The writing there is a spell that is still very foreign in his ear. If noticed, it looks more like the sutra of Buddhism. It's just that the aura feels different.
'The 'Black Hole Technique' was written as his name. Qing Yue'er did not directly study it, instead she kept the technique behind her sleeves.
"Thank you," Qing Yue'er said to Ding Yuhua.
"You deserve it." Ding Yuhua chuckled. Next he brought Qing Yue'er out of the basement. They could not be there for long because there were still some people waiting for Qing Yue'er.
When it arrived at the place where the competition was previously held, it was already deserted there. There are only a few people who just relax there.
Qing Yue'er walked over to Jing Ling and Daoist Black Three. They were still waiting for him for his next trip. But before that, his two eyes caught a cold figure preparing to leave the competition arena.
"Wait!" qing Yue'er exclaimed at the figure of Snow Maiden. Then he saw the girl who stopped to look at him.
"What's wrong?" ask Snow Maiden.
Qing Yue'er watched Snow Maiden carefully. He wanted to gauge roughly what kind of weakness the girl had. After a while he finally found something quite interesting.
"You're worried about something?" qing Yue'er asked.
Snow Maiden's eyes dimmed slightly. "It's none of your business."
Her voice remained cold, like wanting to repel Qing Yue'er's existence with her attitude. Unfortunately Qing Yue'er did not care about that. He chuckled while crossing his arms.
"I'm just trying to make friends with you. There's no need to think as if I'm the one who killed your family" Qing Yue'er said with origin.
However, it turned out that he had said something that made Snow Maiden even colder. "There is no such thing as friendship" he said.
"Yo, why are you so cold? Did I ask you something right? So what are you worried about?" qing Yue'er asked again. He felt that the Snow Maiden had something to be a burden. Or it was something he was worried about.
Snow Maiden looked at Qing Yue'er expressionlessly. Perhaps only this time did he meet a girl who was too meddling with his affairs. It was clear that they had no relationship. Let alone relationships, not even knowing his name.
Actually he was quite surprised because Qing Yue'er could guess the problem. He did have worries that the past few days had already struck his heart.
Who said she was such a cold and emotionless girl? What Qing Yue'er had previously thought must have been wrong. Even though he had the cold, but he was still an ordinary human, not an Immortal. He only managed to keep his emotions calm, not that he had no emotions anymore.
"Can you help me?" ask Snow Maiden at the end.
If he always shuts himself off from others, right now he feels a little different. The aura emanating from Qing Yue'er's body made her say something directly. This was something new he had experienced. He felt that the beautiful girl in front of him was trustworthy by him.
"You need my help?" Qing Yue'er asked in astonishment. It was never expected that Snow Maiden would say such a thing first. He opened his eyes a few times.
"Yes, no one can be trusted" Snow Maiden said.
"Then why do you believe me?" Qing Yue'er asked in surprise. If the girl thought there was no one to trust, why would she ask him for help instead?
"I'm just betting. I hope you can be trusted." Snow Maiden said it was still without any emotional fluctuations.
Qing Yue'er chuckled. He could see that Snow Maiden was indeed not easy to trust others. Seen from how the girl was avoiding others, she completely distanced herself from the interaction.
"Then if I could help you, what would I get?" qing Yue'er asked.
Snow Maiden was silent for a while. Then he said, "My life will be yours."
The words just came out of his mouth. He was already indifferent to his life, the most important thing now was just how he could solve his problems no matter what the consequences awaited him in the future.
Qing Yue'er was stunned. It seemed like the problem the Snow Maiden faced was not something simple. Otherwise, the girl couldn't possibly give up her life just like that.
"You can tell me your problem. I will consider it," Qing Yue'er said.
Snow Maiden looked at Qing Yue'er carefully. After a while he began to tell her the problem without hesitation.
Snow Maiden is a girl who was born into a simple family. He only lives with his crippled father and older brother. His mother's been dead since he was a child. Death was not so natural, that was why he became even colder when he heard Qing Yue'er mention about killing.
All this time he's been trying to figure out the killer's identity. But after many searches, he did not find any results. On the other hand he suddenly discovered a fact that was quite surprising to him.
It turns out that his mother is a descendant of a family that is quite influential. This truth was hidden from him very well. Finally he tried to dig up the facts from his father. And it was there that he discovered another truth that led him to his mother's murder.
It used to be that his mother was someone who was recorded to obtain many family inheritances. It does not lead them to happiness, but instead causes them to get hostility from other family members.
Feeling unable to bear it, Snow Maiden's parents decide to leave their extended family and choose to live simply. But it seems that the problem never stopped until finally the jazad his mother was found lifeless.
If it ended up getting there, the Snow Maiden would not be so worried. The problem is that now his father and brother are getting another terror. The terror has something in common with how his mother was also terrorized. It was most likely that the intruder was the same person as the one who killed his mother.
Snow Maiden couldn't possibly let this matter go. Although his family lived simply, it was something that could not be eliminated. He couldn't possibly let his father and older brother suffer the same fate as his mother.
"So you want me to help you uncover the matter?"
Snow Maiden nodded. "I know it's inappropriate to ask for help from an unknown person, but I have no other choice" he said. He had decided to throw away all his sturdy masks and humble himself to ask Qing Yue'er for help.
Qing Yue'er weighed for a while. Snow Maiden is a pretty talented individual. If he could train her well then the girl could be made as a powerful companion. At that time they could unite to become a terrifying killing machine.
According to what his mother said, he would go to his clan that was in the Celestial realm. It was a realm that was clearly higher than this Tongxuan continent. It's good that if he has a lot of colleagues, it's likely that they'll give him help if he's in trouble.
Shouldn't humans think far ahead?
Besides that he actually went to do this and that was because he was looking for Cloud Fairies. So he did something else while searching for the existence of Cloud Fairies. He couldn't possibly forget Qi Rong just like that, right?
But on the other hand, he was also confused. He already had plans to go to the Celestial Academy, so he had to execute which plan first?
"I can help you, but I have something to talk about with the Daoist Black Three," Qing Yue'er said.
"no need. The academy's matter isn't something urgent, you can help him first." Suddenly Daoist Black Three said from behind. It turned out that the old man had already been there since just now, it was just that Qing Yue'er did not notice it.
"Then I can go straight with you," Qing Yue'er told Snow Maiden.
"Don't forget I'm coming with you too." Jing Ling said from a distance. His face looked bright, it seemed like he was also interested in meddling in other people's matters.
Daoist Black Three did not say anything more. The three girls if united might create a force. Each of them has its own unique character and it will be so amazing.
He stroked his beard. Alright, he will observe how the three girls move. Maybe he'll help point things out if something goes wrong.
