Chapter 2116: Legend in Reaper’s Valley
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Reaper’s Valley. Just the name alone could tell you that it was not a simple place. However, she had no other choice. She could only accept it.
It wasn’t an intelligent idea to be at odds with the ruler of any city. Especially not with two of them. This wasn’t good for the Ghost Realm. That was why the best scenario would be to use a peaceful method to obtain the South Cardinal Point Divine Seal.
"Alright. I hope that I can be fated with that item." Sima You Yue said, "But just what are you looking for?"
"Something like Divine Medicine."
"Divine Medicine?!" Sima You Yue looked at Mu Lan to make sure that he was not messing with her. It was no wonder that he would say that only those who were fated could obtain it. That was even more difficult than being fated with the item.
"In the past, an Emperor Ranked was produced from the Abyss of Hell as well. After he died, he was buried in Reaper’s Valley. His divine medicine was also left in Hade Valley." Mu Lan said, "Use the divine medicine in exchange for the Southern Cardinal Point Divine Seal. Are you willing to do so?"
"If I am able to obtain it, then I will naturally be willing to. I’m just afraid that I won’t be able to find it at all." Sima You Yue said with uncertainty.
"Well you’ll have to be the one to look for it." Mu Lan casually waved his hand and a picture of the Divine Medicine Teleost appeared in the air.
Sima You Yue noted the way it looked, asked a few more questions regarding information on the Divine Medicine before asking about the situation of Reaper’s Valley.
"Reaper’s Valley. Actually the name is rather scary but it’s just a little more dangerous and relatively more people have died there. You’ll know once you get there." Mu Lan replied.
Sima You Yue pursed her lips. This answer was too abstract. Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to get any decent information, she asked for the location of Reaper’s Valley, then left with Wu Lingyu.
Mu Lan and Xi Er Mo remained in the pagoda.
"Your Honor, will she really be able to find the divine medicine?" Xi Er Mo was a little worried. If she was unable to find it, what would they do?
"That’s what he said. If there was anyone in this world who would be able to find the Divine Medicine, it would be her. If even she is unable to find it, then the Divine Medicine will never appear in this world." Mu Lan was uncertain. Sima You Yue was his final hope.
After waiting for so long, she finally arrived. He hoped that she would not let him down!
If Sima You Yue knew what he was thinking, she would definitely be shocked. It turned out that she wasn’t looking for him, he was the one waiting for her!
"Since that’s what he said, it must be true." Xi Er Mo said, "I hope that she will be able to find the Divine Medicine. Then, you will have a chance to save your body."
"Tell me, should I not hold on to any hope?" Mu Lan looked into the distance and suddenly thought of what Sima You Yue said and he
Struggle, hope, survival. Wasn’t that his current state?!
"If it’s her, I feel like we can hold on to a bit of hope." Xi Er Mo said, "There are some people that you can recognise to have a lot of luck. These people always have great success in what they do. Based on Sima You Yue’s experiences, you can tell that she is a person who has great fortune."
"I hope so." Mu Lan fell silent after saying this. Xi Er Mo stood behind him and fell silent as well.
People had plotted against Mu Lan in the past. Although he managed to survive, only the Divine Medicine Teleost would allow him to recover completely. If they couldn’t find it, then all hope was lost.
"Mo, if anything happens to me, I’ll leave the Abyss of Hell to you to protect." Mu Lan said.
Xi Er Mo was quiet for a long time before he finally replied, "Alright."
He didn’t speak any flowery words. If anything unexpected really happened to Mu Lan, then he would definitely have to carry this burden on his shoulders.
However, he still hoped that Sima You Yue would really be able to find the divine medicine. It would benefit them all.
Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu departed from the palace and headed directly towards Reaper’s Valley. After wandering around the place, one month later, they finally arrived at the nearest city to the valley, Mourning City.
"Reaper’s Valley, Mourning City. Why aren’t the names here auspicious at all?" Sima You Yue pursed her lips. Just hearing these names made one feel like death was drawing near.
Wu Lingyu smiled, saying, "We’re not very familiar with Reaper’s Valley, so let’s not go in yet. We’ll gather more information about the current situation before going in. it would be for the best if we could find someone to bring us in and show us the way."
"Mm." Sima You Yue agreed. To go in without first familiarising herself with the place was not a smart decision.
The both of them entered the city and they found an inn to stay in. on the way, those whom they met on the way did not look at them in any particular way. There were more inns here as compared to other cities, so it seemed like there were more outsiders who came here.
As the both of them were settling the details of their stay, they asked the hotel steward, "Steward, do you know if there are any who are willing to be guides for Reaper’s Valley?"
"Guides?" The steward shook his head, "Very rarely are the locals willing to do something like this."
"Because it’s dangerous?"
"That’s right." The Steward said, "Although you can say that there will be a brave warrior who would be willing to do so for a hefty sum, this kind of brave man is hard to find. Without the right connections, you would be hard pressed to find someone like that."
"Based on what you said, it seems like it’s common for Reaper’s Valley to be dangerous? Why do so many people still want to enter?"
"Of course it is because there are many treasures there. There is also a very important reason. Outsiders never believe the legend. The locals do, so naturally, very few go in." The steward replied.
"Oh? There is a legend?" Sima You Yue’s curiosity bubbled, "Steward, why don’t you tell us about it?"
In the beginning, the steward was not too pleased about it. He wasn’t a storyteller. However, when he saw the crystals that Sima You Yue took out, he hung a smile on his face.
"Of course, of course. What do you want to know?" He kept the crystals away.
"Tell me all you know about Reaper’s Valley."
"Alright, then let’s begin with the Snow Lady."
"Pfft- what did you say?" Sima You Yue immediately burst out laughing. When she heard the words ‘Snow Lady’, she naturally recalled the stories that she had heard about the Snow Lady from the island country in her previous life.
"The Snow Lady! It has been passed down that in the middle of the snow mountain in Reaper’s Valley lives a Snow Lady. She eats all who she sees." The steward said.
"Is that Snow Lady beautiful?" Sima You Yue asked.
"Stunning. It is rumoured that she is a beautiful lady. From a distance, she looks like a deity. But she’s cruel and her mouth opens bigger than the size of a person and can eat them up in a single bite." The steward broke out in cold sweat as he spoke.
"Is that so? If she eats every person on sight, then how did rumours spread?" Sima You Yue pursed her lips. This wasn’t a horror story. Unless they turned into a beast, how were they supposed to be able to open their mouths so wide?
"Naturally, someone saw it." The steward said, "Someone was standing very far away from the snow mountain when they saw what happened. In the beginning, it was a beautiful lady, but her mouth suddenly grew. Really, it was only her mouth that grew. There were those who did not believe it and went to investigate. In the end, not a single one of those who went there, returned.. No matter how powerful they were."
