The light was absorbed into Rainbow’s body, and Crimson Flame then ceased emitting his light.

“It’s best that you bring her back to her clan. That place is better for her.”

After he said that, Crimson Flame returned to the space where they were establishing their contract. Halcyon looked at Rainbow, because she had fallen into a deep sleep, with a faint red glow around her. Old Man Devil never thought that Sima You Yue had such a strong Spiritual Beast, and seeing how it so easily gained access to Rainbow’s lifeline, was astonished by its identity.

“Master”, Halcyon followed Sima You Yue and shouted, “I would like to go up for a bit, please help me to watch over You Yue for this time.”

“Alright, go! Even if this rascal woke up, she would probably like to be sent back as well. Except that the Falcon Clan is not easy to find, will you be able to locate them?”

“I know where they are.” Halcyon said. “When I was young, I was with them for a while.”

“That clan is hard to mix with, you have to remember to be careful.” Old Man Devil said. If it was before this time, he would not have cared if Halcyon lived or died. But now that he is his disciple’s Spirit Beast, and his life and death matters to his disciple, he would definitely have to care, even if just a little.

“I understand.” Halcyon said. He then created a space passage, carried Rainbow and left. A Spirit Beast of his rank should not be able to create space passaged, but because he is a Space Spirit Beast, and he is sensitive to the things of space, he had developed this special power. Halcyon looked at Sima You Yue and the rest walking, and wanted to leave as well. It was on his way to go the the Falcon Clan and where he met dangers and difficulties, that he realised that after meeting Sima You Yue that everything became blurry, as if the injuries had never properly healed.

“What happened to you?” Sima You Yue felt the changes in Halcyon, and stopped to ask him.

“Nothing much, I’m just worried about Rainbow.” Halcyon bluffed.

“Hey hey, you can’t not worry about your wife, right?” Sima You Yue smiled and looked at Halcyon. “Do you miss her? You’ve only been a part for a while, and you miss her already?”

“...”

Bei Gong Tang and Halcyon gazed at Sima You Yue wordlessly.

“Right, wasn’t Rainbow discovered by you in in the Primordial Lands? How did she end up here?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Because initially the Falcon Clan was facing some internal mess, and there were conflicts, and at that time Rainbow’s father was physically, so for her safety, he entrusted her to me.”

“So what’s the situation like now? Will Rainbow be in any danger up there?” Sima You Yue asked concernedly

“Nope, ultimately the victor was our friend, and the one in power now is Rainbow’s direct ancestor. Now that she’s back there, she will definitely be well watched over.” Halcyon said.

“That’s good.” Sima You Yue said. “Halcyon, when we go up, let’s visit her.”

“Alright.”

When they returned to the Sima Residence, Bei Gong Tang returned back to her own home, and Sima You Yue and Halcyon had returned to their residence and closed the door, and brought him to the Spirit Pagoda.

“A created realm?” Halcyon looked at the changed environment, and said in astonishment

“Master.” Ya Guang and the rest ran over towards them, and rubbed against Sima You Yue.

“What about Little Tu?” Sima You Yue stroked their heads, asking.

“At training! Do you want to look for him? Ya Guang replied.

“That’s not necessary! Since he’s training, let’s not bother him.” Sima You Yue said. “Halcyon and I have something to discuss, you can get back to playing amongst yourselves.” That’s right, now all her Spirit Beasts were simply tamed and playing around. Before they had established a contract with her they would train all day and night. Now that they were under her, each time she rises a rank they would all rise in rank as well, and hence they no longer trained, but spent their time playing away.

“Where is this?” Halcyon asked.

“My own space, the Spirit Pagoda” Sima You Yue said. “Little Roar and the rest usually train here, in the future you can stay here too.”

“The environment isn’t bad.” Halcyon said.

“Let me bring you out to see.” Sima You Yue brought him to the Pharmacy, the Library collection and the Storehouse. When they had covered almost everything, both of them sat at the peak of the hill, and looked at the endless field of herbs.

“Halcyon, what did you encounter that day at the Ten Thousand Island Mountain? How did you get hurt so badly?” Sima You Yue asked.

“I don’t know either.” Halcyon said. “I just felt a familiar aura, and so I went to take a look, but I didn’t expect that there would be so many obstacles. I could bash through a few of them, though it did take some time, and for some, even after a few days, I could barely make a few meter’s progress.”

“Why did you continue then? Didn’t you know that it was dangerous?” Sima You Yue asked.

Halcyon looked at her and said. “Because the closer I got to the epicenter, the more familiar the aura felt.”

“What aura was it that it drew you so deeply, that you would risk your life to know what it was?” Sima You Yue asked disapprovingly.

Halcyon smiled bitterly, saying, “I was curious, but it was not that I did not care about my safety, but that the situation behind me had fallen out of my control. I would die even if I turned back.”

Sima You Yue was utterly shocked. How dangerous that place must have been? “What aura was that, why would you find it familiar? Could it have been the people of your race?” She asked.

“No.” Halcyon looked at Sima You Yue and sighed, saying. “It wasn’t the aura of my race, I found it familiar, because it I felt like it was similar to you.”

“What did you say?” Sima You Yue’s emotions went into a frenzy. Did he just say that it was similar to her?

“Although the times were brief, I could feel that your body would sometimes emit a different kind of aura, one that is different from what’s normally of you. I thought that the creatures suppressed below could have been related to you, so I went down to take a look.” Halcyon said. “Sadly, I didn’t find out anything.”

Sima You Yue’s mouth dropped open. She never thought that this time, Halcyon put himself in danger because of her.

“Thank you, Halcyon.”

“I didn’t find out anything, you shouldn’t thank me.” Halcyon said. “Also, I was rescued by you.”

Sima You Yue remained solemn for a while, and said, “Halcyon, at that time you had almost died, I had no other choice, so I thought of establishing a contract with you to heal you. If you dislike this arrangement, when I’m at a higher rank and we can initiate the nullifying of a contract, you can go free.”

“Let’s just see how things go. I believe that even if there is a contract, you wouldn’t disapprove of anything that I want to do. You wouldn’t use the contract to control me, that I still believe.” Halcyon said.

Wow… Sima You Yue blinked in disbelief. Does that mean that he is willing to be a Spirit Beast under her control?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Halcyon felt embarrassed, but he had originally not wanted to be banded together with her Spirit Beasts. But now that things have turned out this way, he could just go with the flow.

Sima You Yue understood him, and smiled.

“You said the aura of that creature was similar to me, now I am curious what is being repressed down there.” She rubbed her chin, saying.
