Chương 93: Saint Beast Great Argus
Biên tập viên: Misty Cloud Translations
"Fatty, Zi Qi, it looks like I'm going to need some time before I can pass you both your pills." Sima You Yue said.
"No worries, we're not in a rush." Fatty Qu said
They were secretly thinking that they didn't actually help out much for this so they should already be pleasantly surprised that they had already gotten something out if it. If they really were able to increase a rank by obtaining the fruit then waiting for a period of time was really nothing much.
"Oh right, You Yue, what was that thing that you called us to scatter on the Nalan Clan?" Bei Gong Tang asked.
"Enchanting Powder." Sima You Yue said, "As long as that smell sticks on your body, you'll never be able to wash it off no matter how hard you try."
"What does it do?" Ouyang Fei asked.
"That… wait for the effects to take place then you will know." Sima You Yue smirked evilly.
Since the Nalan Clan wanted to go out and find trouble with the Sima Clan, she would make it so that they wouldn't be able to go out at all.
"Enough, You Yue is injured and can't speak too much. Everyone is tired so we should all get some rest." Ouyang Fei said.
"Mm."
Because Sima You Yue and Bei Gong Tang were sleeping on the bed, Ouyang Fei and the others could only look for a place to rest somewhere inside the cave. They didn't bring a bed so they had to make do with chairs and whatever they brought along.
The cave soon became quiet because everyone was already worn out by everything that happened in the day and fell asleep quickly.
Sima You Yue looked at the side of Ouyang Fei's face and her eyes flashed with suspicion.
Fourth Ranked pills were a rarity in Dong Chen Kingdom. He said he was an orphan so how did he obtain such a precious pill? Furthermore, no matter how you looked at it, she felt that he wasn't an ordinary person.
Although her heart held many suspicions, she didn't say anything. Just like how she held many secrets, who didn't have things that they didn't want others to know?
A night passed by quickly and Sima You Yue's pill that healed her inner body quickly revealed its usefulness. Added on to her particular body constitution, when she woke up on the second day, she was already able get off the bed and walk around.
"Damn, You Yue, your healing abilities are too amazing, okay!" When they saw Sima You Yue like that, the few of them stared at her with gaping mouths.
"It's the effect of Ouyang Fei's medicine that is amazing." Sima You Yue attributed all her healing to that pill.
"Bei Gong, how are you doing?" Ouyang Fei didn't reply Sima You Yue's underlying question and turned instead to ask Bei Gong Tang.
"Apart from some pain still remaining in my legs, I'm okay in other areas." Bei Gong Tang smiled in reply.
Although the pill that Sima You Yue gave her was not ranked too highly, the wounds that she had received were not that serious so it was no big deal.
"Let's rest for one more day today. We'll carry on doing other things tomorrow." Wei Zi Qi looked towards the people lying near the wall as he said.
The things that he was talking about doing was obviously to deal with them.
"The two of you rest first, I'll go look for something to eat and return." Ouyang Fei said.
"No need, I have them." Sima You Yue said.
"Then I'll go fetch some water."
"I have that too." Sima You Yue said.
"What about firewood?"
Sima You Yue wanted to say that she had that as well but she didn't want everyone to think that she was Doraemon, so she smiled and shook her head.
"Then we'll go and look for some firewood." Ouyang Fei said as he walked out.
"We'll be nearby, if you need anything just shout loudly and we'll rush back."
After he finished speaking, Wei Zi Qi and Ouyang fei walked out as well.
"What's up with them?" Sima You Yue saw the three of them rush out as she looked at Bei Gong Tang with confusion.
"Cough cough, it appears that there's something that's not too convenient for them to talk about." Bei Gong Tang said.
"Something not too convenient to talk about? Then it's convenient over there?" Sima You Yue nodded with understanding.
It was just having to answer the call of nature, how was this something so inconvenient to say? Sima You Yue looked down on the three of them in her heart.
However, she never thought about the fact that she used to have the identity of guy so they wouldn't think too much about saying these kind of things in front of her. Now that they knew she was female, they started to feel awkward about it.
"Bei Gong, you've already obtained the Golden Snake Fruit so you should quickly give it to your contracted Beast to eat." Sima You Yue said.
"Mm." Bei Gong Tang nodded. With a single thought, a green bird appeared in the cave.
"This is… a Great Argus?" Sima You Yue looked at Meng Ji's appearance and asked in surprise.
The Great Argus belonged to the Phoenix family and the teacher said before that the Yi Lin continent didn't have any phoenixes. But Bei Gong Tang actually had a contract with a Great Argus… was she someone who was actually not from the mainland at all?!
Bei Gong Tang turned a blind eye towards Sima You Yue whose eyes were filled with surprise and then understanding. She knew that Sima You Yue would understand a few things after seeing Meng Ji, but she believed that Sima You Yue would never breathe a word of it.
"Meng Ji, Meng Ji." Bei Gong Tang called a few times before Meng Ji slowly opened her eyes.
"Master." Meng Ji's voice was a bit weak and it appeared that her wounds were not shallow. She thought that Bei Gong Tang would not call her out without reason so her eyes shone, "Master, you called me out, don't tell me it's because…"
Bei Gong Tang smiled as she took out the Golden Snake Fruit and placed it beside Meng Ji's beak, saying, "This Golden Snake Fruit was snatched by You Yue, we have to thank her."
Meng Ji looked at Sima You Yue who was lying down on the bed and said gratefully, "Thank you."
Sima You Yue waved her hands, saying, "Your family'sMaster has already pledged her life to me so you don't have to thank me."
When Meng Ji heard this, she looked to Bei Gong Tang with alarm, saying, "Master, how could you do this? If you have to use your entire life's happiness to trade for this, Meng Ji will never take it!"
"Pfft-" When she saw Meng Ji's reaction, Sima You Yue immediately burst out laughing.
"Meng Ji, You Yue was just teasing you." Bei Gong Tang said, "She's a woman, how could I follow her all my life. Alright, if we let this Golden Snake Fruit remain outside for too long, it will attract Spirit Beasts. Quickly eat it then go back to recover."
"Master, she's really a female?" Meng Ji was still looking at Sima You Yue with suspicion. How could she not even notice that Sima You Yue was a female? Even her scent didn't reveal it.
"Enough, quickly eat it and return." Sima You Yue said, "Not only is your body injured, the damage to your soul isn't light. That's why you haven't recovered enough though it's been such a long time. Aside from being able to increase your strength, the Golden Snake Fruit will also heal your soul. Aren't you going to quickly go back and recuperate yet?"
Meng Ji was incomparably shocked. How did she know that her soul was wounded? This was something that even Bei Gong Tang didn't know.
"Her soul was injured? No wonder her wound didn't heal a single bit even though it had been such a long time." Bei Gong Tang said.
"Since this is the case, I will return first." Meng Ji saw the questioning look in Bei Gong Tang's eyes and picked up the Golden Snake Fruit with her beak before heading back into the contracted space.
Seeing that Bei Gong Tang was quite anxious, Sima You Yue smiled, saying, "She doesn't want to tell you because she doesn't want you to worry. Anyway, she has the Golden Snake Fruit so I believe she will be alright in no time. You should stop worrying."
"You Yue, how did you know that Meng Ji's soul was injured?" Bei Gong Tang asked.
"Because I have discerning eyes!" Sima You Yue laughed and said. She would never say that Mo Sha was the one who had told her and could only skirt the topic by asking, "Oh right, how come those three guys still haven't returned?"
She just finished speaking when she heard the sound of footsteps. It was obvious that the sound came from inside the mountain, however, it wasn't three people, it was a bunch of people.
Bei Gong Tang could also hear that the footsteps were a little off and the two of them headed to the cave entrance cautiously, on full alert.

The footsteps came closer and closer and Sima You Yue had already taken out a bottle of medicine powder and placed it in Bei Gong Tang's hand.
The two of them were injured and and their battle strength had dropped by quite a bit. If they really encountered enemies, this would be able to help stall for a while.
The cave that Little Roar had chosen was relatively hidden, but the footsteps were heading directly inside the cave.They didn't hear any calls for help from Ouyang Fei or the others, which proved that strength of the people who came was a few levels higher than theirs. Only then would they not have any opportunity to call for help.
It had already been two days since the Golden Fruit Tree event had passed. It was possible that those powerful experts had yet to leave and were wandering around the mountain when they happened to meet Fatty Qu and the others…
Just when the two of them were making random guesses, the few of them finally reached the cave.
"We're back." Fatty Qu's round chubby body appeared at the cave entrance followed by Ouyang Fei and Wei Zi Qi.
Seeing that the three of them had no external wounds, the two of them relaxed, asking, "Are you guys okay?"
"We…"
Fatty Qu had yet to finish speaking when he was picked up by one of the men from the back and placed behind. After that, some unexpected silhouettes appeared in front of Sima You Yue, causing her to call out in surprise, "Third brother! Fourth Brother! What are you guys doing here?"
"Fifth Brother, we heard that you got hurt? Quickly let Third Brother take a look." Sima You Ran quickly appeared beside Sima You Yue, wanting to run into her but afraid of hurting her.
"Third Brother, I'm already fine!" Sima You Yue pulled Sima You Ran's hand as she tried to placate his moodiness.
"Fifth Brother, what is the meaning of this. How did you receive such serious injuries?" Sima You Le walked over as his eyes filled with worry and anger.
"I'll explain it to you later, okay." Sima You Yue said, "You guys haven't replied me yet, what are you all doing here?"
"We came here to practice combat!" Sima You Le said, "And it just so happened that our two groups ended up in Pu Luo Mountain Range so we ended up together."
Sima You Yue just realised that apart of the two of them, there were a few other people standing outside the mountain cave. It looked like they were Sima You Ran's schoolmates.
"Enough, say it now, how did you get injured?" Sima You Ran looked at Sima You Yue, saying, "Just now, Little Qu already said that every single one of your bones were broken yesterday. How did you end up getting so gravely injured?"
This Fatty Qu, didn't he know that her older brother was a control freak? He still dared to tell him that every single one of her bones were broken!
Sima You Yue maliciously glared at Fatty Qu before looking at the five men who were still fainted on the ground, saying, "It's because of them. They lured us to the territory of a vicious beast. You don't know but there were so many wolves, it terrified us all."
"It's because of these people?!" Sima You Ran glared icily at those men, as if they were already a pile of corpses.
"Mm, that's them!" Sima You Yue said.
"I'm going to kill them!" Sima You Le stopped for a moment before standing up, taking out his sword, intending to go over and kill those men.
"Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother, don't be rash!" Sima You Yue pulled on Sima You Le, saying, "These five men cannot die in your hands."
"Why not?" Everyone was confused.
"Because they're from our academy." Sima You Yue explained the entire situation in a moment, however, she left out whatever happened with the Acacia Silk Snake and blamed whatever happened entirely on the Wolf Pack attack that happened earlier.
"Too cruel!" Sima You Le angrily went and viciously stomped on them a few times.
"Then what do you plan to do?" Sima You Ran naturally noticed the loophole in whatever Sima You Yue had said. For example, for what reason would she have caught those men, why it was only her and Bei Gong Tang who got injured and so on. However, there were outsiders among them right now so he didn't expose her and went along with whatever she had said when he asked his question.
"Of course it would be to give them a taste of their own medicine." Sima You Yue said. "They placed us within a pack of wolves, so I want them to meet the exact same kind of situation. That we were able to survive is only because we were lucky, whether they live or die will depend on their own abilities! Dear older brothers and sisters, you all won't spread this around, right?"
"Pu Luo Mountain Range was always a place where Spirit Beasts ran rampant, Encountering a few Spirit Beasts is something that happens all the time." A lady wearing a red dress said.
"Yeah."
The others also agreed. Seeing the rage in their eyes, she figured that they were also feeling unbridled disgust towards the actions of those few people.
"Since you want to do things this way, then go ahead." Sima You Ran ruffled Sima You Yue's hair, turning it into a complete mess.
Sima You Yue slapped his hand away, saying, "Third and Fourth Brother, did you all come to execute a mission? Our mission is already complete and we will return tomorrow. You can go ahead and complete your mission first."
"Don't even think about chasing us away." Sima You Ran said, "We already finished doing whatever we needed to do yesterday and were already preparing to return. We can wait for your wounds to heal together."
"Ah, this isn't too good, is it? We can't let these other older brothers and sisters wait!" Sima You Yue said.
"It's okay, another one or two days won't matter." Those people said.
Sima You Yue could see that her two brothers were the core of their two teams. If the two of them didn't want to leave, the others wouldn't say anything.
"Okay then." She buried her head in the pillow. It looked like they weren't going to leave on their own accord.
Those few people knew that Sima You Yue and her brothers had just met and would definitely have things to talk about so they left first. Immediately, Bei Gong Tang also found an excuse to get Ouyang Fei and the others to bring her away.
Seeing that there was nobody else left in the cave, Sima You Ran finally asked, "Say it, how did you get those injuries?"
"I just knew I wouldn't be able to hide it from you. See, Fourth Brother didn't even notice anything was off." Sima You Yue pursed her lips and said.
"You still dare to say it!" Sima You Ran slapped Sima You Yue's head, "If it wasn't for the fact that there were others around, I would have given you two slaps long ago. You actually lied even to your older brothers!"
"Come on, it's not like I lied to you on purpose!" Sima You Yue looked at Sima You Le with grief, hoping that he would help speak on her behalf. However, Sima You Le didn't stand on her side this time and had actually turned his head to the side, refusing to look at her at all!
"Okay, tell us honestly how on earth you got those injuries!" Sima You Ran said with a serious face.
"Okay…" Sima You Yue told them about the encounter with the wolf pack and the Acacia Silk Snake. After that, she looked at Sima You Ran and the rest pitifully, "Your team members were there just now so I couldn't let them know I was female and could only talk nonsense! Also, this isn't considered nonsense since they were really the ones who caused the incident with the wolves."
"These people!" Sima You Le clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white; only then did he manage to stop himself from impulsively going over to kill them.
"So you're saying that your team members all know that you're female?" Sima You Ran's attention was focused on this point. If they revealed this, there would definitely be trouble.
"This Brother, you can relax. They won't tell anyone." Sima You Yue said, "I trust them."
"Mm, I believe that you won't do anything reckless anymore." Sima You Ran said, "Recuperate today, tomorrow we'll head for Salt City. Grandfather is still there waiting for us."
"Grandfather hasn't gone back yet?" Sima You Yue asked.
The moment she said this, she realised that she had made a mistake. However, it was too late. She only saw that Sima You Ran, who was initially looking at her tenderly, was staring at her solemnly again.
"It's over, I won't be able to run this time…" Sima You Yue grieved in her heart.
