151 Despite every reason (1/2)
The foreboding feeling in the pit of Xiao Chun Dan's stomach becomes stronger when he sees the sky turning pale green. Strong winds are blowing, being a herald of a storm. He swallows, staring at the horizon. This strange place links the soul, mind, and the magic inside Huang Qiuyan. He feels the rush of torrential energy into space. The core is also changing rapidly, devouring all the energy like a glutton.
”Did she already reach the Fae gate?” He creases his forehead and stares at the tree in front of him. What can he do now? He looks at his hands. The aberrant energy is also affecting him, changing him in unpredictable ways. Taking deep breaths, he looks through the upgrades. He's been able to direct the energies previously. Then, he should be able to do it now. At this moment, both Li Dai Yu and Huang Qiuyan are in a vulnerable state.
He directs the chaotic energy toward the roots of the tree. Hopefully, his host would be smart enough to do what is necessary.
”Li Dai Yu!” Huang Qiuyan bellows. She struggles to get free as the roots ties around her mouth. Only her muffled screams escape. She feels a force trying to crush her as if she's dissipating into something else. She forces herself to keep awake.
”Yan'er, do your best.” She hears her brother's voice. ”Don't lose to her.”
All of a sudden, she senses the same roots vibrating with energy. Feeling that it's the energy from the Fae gate, she begins to absorb it. As the roots tighten around her, she feels stronger. She clenches her fists and squeezes her eyes. After ripping away roots, she could see the light shining through the crack. Huang Qiuyan follows the light until she reaches a dark empty place.
”You are here.”
Huang Qiuyan sees a woman standing in front of her, an exact copy of her except for her eyes. Li Dai Yu's eyes are vivid green. Huang Qiuyan purses her lips in rage.
”Even now, you are holding back.” Li Dai Yu lets out an exasperated sigh.
”Did you hurt them?” Huang Qiuyan glares at her.
”He says that you and I are the same.” Li Di Yu cocks her head and smirks at her, ”If we are the same, it means that it was you who hurt them.”
