Chapter 822: Chapter 466: All I Want Is an Answer
At the moment they left the infirmary, Yan Xiaobao noticed his friends right at the place where he had departed. They were conversing with each other, likely about the many experiences they’ve had, but Deng Wu quickly noticed Yan Xiaobao and Wang Julong’s arrival. When they spotted Yan Xiaobao and Wang Julong holding hands, their faces were filled with shock, surprise, and excitement.
"It’s about time," Deng Wu muttered, his words drawing a grin from Rong Ming, while Rong Xing smacked him on the back of his head. "That’s great!" she exclaimed. "We know Julong is shy. I think she has shown such courage, considering her personality, which is truly surprising."
Deng Wu didn’t voice disagreement with Rong Xing, but his expression when he looked at her spoke volumes. The longing and tenderness in his eyes were so obvious that she became breathless and stepped back. As she refocused on Wang Julong and Yan Xiaobao, she turned away, completely ignoring Deng Wu. However, at the same time, her heart started to ache, and she couldn’t help but feel puzzled. For reasons she couldn’t comprehend, her thoughts constantly wandered back to Deng Wu. Somehow he became the person she deemed most important, and no matter how much she ignored him, she found herself unable to do so. Perhaps it was because he frequently joked, calling her the flower of life, the queen of the heart, and other silly names, or maybe it was because he proved his sincerity in ensuring her safety while battling those higher-ranked experts. She shook her head, dismissing these emotions, deciding to think about it after returning to Muchuan City.
Everything was black. Nothing moved. No sound could be heard. Everything remained still. As for how many days had passed, Sha Yun was uncertain, but it felt like an eternity since she last saw the sun.
"Even if I die, it won’t be that important," Sha Yun pondered. "I miss my sisters, and I obviously miss Yue and everyone else, but they will be fine without me." Thinking this caused Sha Yun’s heart to ache, but she steeled her resolve.
"Yue wants to be with Zhu Long, but he’s too afraid to hurt my feelings." A tear fell from her face. "That’s perfectly okay."
"Yan Xiaobao said he has to revive someone from the dead. I’m sure he will come for me too. This is just temporary. I need to hold onto who I am so that he can find me as time passes."
Sha Yun’s thoughts were a mess. Some hesitated, unwilling to give up life, while others accepted what had happened to her.
As time passed, she finally became completely convinced that her death was good.
Sighing, Sha Yun began to wonder if she was doomed to spend eternity alone in the dark void, when suddenly a ray of light appeared in the darkness.
The light pierced into the void, forcing the darkness to retreat. Watching this, Sha Yun felt real fear and dread from the depths of her heart. She couldn’t see the light as it blinded her; instead, she watched the darkness recede.
The crack continued to grow larger and brighter. Soon the entire void was subdued by the light. Thus, the light fell upon Sha Yun, and as it enveloped her body, a warm and gentle sensation surrounded her.
Without knowing what was happening, Sha Yun found herself being pulled toward the crack, and soon her whole body was no longer in the void.
"Will I be reborn?" Sha Yun asked herself, as she once again began to feel something. Her body lay upon something hard; she could hear her breath, and soon the darkness and light disappeared, with a dim light shining on her closed eyelids.
Although Sha Yun wished to open her eyes, each time she did, the light burned her eyes, making it impossible for her to keep them open. It was harder to see what was happening around. Moving her body also proved impossible.
Wherever she was, it was calm. No other sound except her breathing was heard, and as she breathed, she noticed the fresh air around her was cooled. Knowing the air was cooled, she immediately understood why she couldn’t move as freely as she wished.
Sha Yun was a Snake Woman. She came from a long line of snakes, and as a cold-blooded creature, she had difficulty moving in cold weather. In the cold, Sha Yun struggled to move her body, and slowly, slowly, she tried to open her eyes again.
Squinting, she could make out some things from where she lay, and the more she looked, the more she could see.
Sha Yun currently lay on a stone bed, attempting to soften it with straw; unfortunately, it didn’t work as desired. The straw kept pricking her; it was sharp and uncomfortable, but Sha Yun knew she needed to gather quite a bit of energy before moving.
She was in a small room. At most, the room was 10 meters wide and 10 meters long. Besides the stone bed, there was a small table and a chair. There was a huge door made of heavy wood. On the other side of the door, at the back of the room, was a window. Looking at the window, she found bars made of black iron placed in front, so no one could pass through.
Sha Yun lay on the stone bed, breathing for a while. "So I’m not dead?" She muttered to herself, starting to doubt what was happening. It took her a long time to guess she had been kidnapped.
"But why target me?" She curiously asked herself, and suddenly the answer was clear. "Yue. They want Yue."
