Chapter 2126: Crossing the barrier

“I don’t know whether or not it will work.” Sima You Yue smiled. She stepped forward to support her and led her to rest in a soft place that she had already prepared.

“Let me hear it.” Qin Qin took in a sharp breath because she accidentally hit her wound.

“I noticed that the way you enter is similar to martial arts. If I can do the same, it might work.” Sima You Yue voiced her idea.

“That might work!” Qin Qin agreed, “However, the both of us have different body shapes. Even if you learn my moves, you may not be able to enter the place smoothly.”

“Since I want to learn it, then I naturally cannot be off by a single bit.” Sima You Yue said.

“What’s your idea?”

“You know, around the national treasures they will have infrared lasers to protect them. If you want to get through them silently, you will have to avoid those lasers.”

“You want to use that type of method? It’s not bad, truly. We can simulate that kind of environment, then you can try whether or not you will be able to pass it. After a while, you will be able to grasp the position of every single one.” Qin Qin blinked, “I’ve seen this on television before. Have you ever done this before?”

“Cough cough- I never said that I used to be a good person.”

“Hahaha- who cares whether or not you used to be a good person? Alright, then let’s just try things according to what you said.”

“Heal your wounds first. We’ll try again once you are well.” Sima You Yue said, “Do you have anything you want to eat?”

“You know how to cook? I want to eat Cola Chicken! Also, french fries and fried chicken!” Qin Qin looked at her with shining eyes.

“Alright!”

Sima You Yue quickly made what Qin Qin wanted to eat. Of course, she made a portion for the others as well.

Qin Qin gnawed on the drumsticks and chicken wings and sighed with satisfaction, “I can finally eat something that tastes so familiar. How did you make the cola chicken?”

“There is a type of spirit fruit that’s tartness can be used to replace the cola.” Sima You Yue said.

“You’re such a good cook! Your husband will be so lucky! It’s such a pity that I’ve been here for so many years. I wanted to eat those things but I was completely unable to recreate that flavour.” Qin Qin said.

“In the future, just tell me whatever you want to eat. As long as it’s not something that I have never eaten before, I should be able to recreate the flavour that you want.” Sima You Yue smiled in reply.

“Alright, alright!” Qin Qin looked at her pitifully, “You’re in trouble now. Now that I know how good you can cook, I’ll definitely run over often to get you to cook for me.”

“So what?” Sima You Yue did not feel like she was in trouble at all, “I once had a friend, and she was even my Senior Sister. She loved eating and would often make me cook for them.”

“Really.”

“Of course. In the future, if you end up in the Human Realm, you might even be able to meet her. Especially that Senior Sister of mine. Eating is the most important thing in her life. It’s a pity that her cooking skills were mediocre, and often put herself through much turmoil.”

“Ha, that sounds like me. If I have the chance, I definitely want to meet those friends of yours.”

“Once I return to the Human Realm, you can come with me.” Sima You Yue said, “It will be too dangerous for you to head to the Human Realm by yourself.”

“Alright! I’ll go with you to the Ghost Realm then we can go to the Human Realm. I’m not familiar with human territory, so it will be safer to go with you.”

“Alright.”

Nai He saw the two of them chatting away happily and his eyes filled with grief.

In the past, that subordinate of his would not care about himself much. However, she still cared about the fact that he was her boss. Now that Sima You Yue appeared, he had no place in her heart anymore. It was like he had been sent flying.

However, the way she was right now was like she had come back to life. In the past, although she had laughed and would talk to others, one could get the sense that she was not truly happy.

Qin Qin nursed her wounds for a few days and was finally able to recover to around fifty to sixty percent. Once she was able to move, she found an empty space. She set up a few stakes, then strung along them many ropes. The ropes were scattered in white powder, then she let Sima You Yue practice.

Sima You Yue saw the densely packed ropes and finally understood why Qin Qin’s body just now looked so… strange.

“Right, I have to warn you. You can’t use spirit energy. You have to rely completely on the flexibility of your body. Right, you still have a time limit. You have to do it within half an hour!” Qin Qin lay weakly by the side and ate the snacks that Sima You Yue had prepared for her, incredibly leisurely and carefree.

Sima You Yue tried it once. She managed to do it within half an hour, but she was covered with the white powder from the ropes.

“Tsk tsk, you looked like you’ve rolled in white powder.” Qin Qin sighed.

Sima You Yue looked down and noticed the white powder on her body. She emitted some flames and burnt the white powder away. Not a single trace was left on her clothes.

Qin Qin looked at this scene with shock, “Your control is amazing! How much mental strength do you need to have to accomplish something like this?”

“When you have nothing better to do, you can electrocute yourself for fun. You’ll quickly reach this level.” Sima You Yue said.

“Forget it, then. I don’t have a masochistic kink.” Qin Qin shook her head.

Sima You Yue smiled and continued. The second round, the amount of white powder on her body lessened by a lot.

“You’re improving a little too quickly, don’t you think?”

If this continued, she would be able to pass this in less than two days.

Sima You Yue felt like it wasn’t quick enough, though. The longer she tarried, the longer she would take to obtain the divine medicine. Her mother would then be suppressed for an even longer period of time.

That was why she only rested for a short while before she continued to practice.

One day later, she was already able to pass the obstacles perfectly within fifteen minutes without a single speck of white powder on her.

Later on, she spent a bit more time going back and forth, and then Qin Qin removed the markings and got Wu Lingyu to create formless lines with his spirit energy. Once she was able to pass by them quickly without touching them, they allowed her to go.

“My wounds have already healed a lot. I’ll go with you.” Qin Qin walked to her side as she was about to go. “Let me first say this, my wounds have not yet recovered completely. You have to protect me when we’re below. If you want to kill the enemy, it’s all on you.”

Sima You Yue laughed, “What’s the difference between the two points that you just mentioned?”

Qin Qin blinked. It really did seem like there wasn’t any difference. Before she spoke, she heard Sima You Yue say, “Relax. I will definitely bring you back up here in one piece.”

That also meant that she was agreeing to going down together.

Qin Qin headed over first. Then, she waited by the side of the spring. Once Sima You Yue arrived, they jumped in together.

It was very cold under the spring, and it got colder the deeper they went. Very quickly, they arrived just outside the first level of the barrier.

Qin Qin thought that Sima You Yue was going to do something, but instead she just saw her call out a guy that looked like a rabbit. The little guy just touched the barrier and a hole appeared.

Sima You Yue beckoned her over and let her enter first. Then, she followed after her.

The moment that they crossed the barrier, they saw that the place was completely different compared to above it. Above the barrier, it could accommodate about three to five people at most. However, the bottom of the barrier was like an ocean. You couldn’t see the end of it.

Sima You Yue saw Qin Qin warily look to the right, and she turned around and saw a huge underworld beast.
