Chapter 403 - A Discussion

Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations

When the last chain of meat had entered Little Dream’s belly, she finally stopped, and looked up to see the entire group staring at her, she then looked down in embarrassment, saying, “I was just hungry…”

Sima You Yue patted her on the head, saying, “It’s okay, no one will say anything to you.”

“That’s right, you’ve been locked away for so long, and you must not have had anything in a long time. Being this hungry is normal.” Fatty Qu quickly agreed.

Seeing how ashamed Little Dream looked, they felt as though they had bullied a little kid.

“Are you full? Or would you like more?” Bei Gong Tang asked gently.

“It’s okay, I’ve eaten my fill.” Little Dream shook her head, seeing that no one was upset with her, she started to smile.

“Since you’re full, then let’s have Little Roar and the rest bring you around the Spirit Pagoda, alright?” Sima You Yue asked.

“Okay!” Little Dream replied. Sima You Yue then called out Little Roar, and it took Little Dream out, as commanded.

“You Yue, why are you so gentle towards Little Dream?” When Little Dream had disappeared from sight, Fatty Qu and the rest asked all the questions that they were harbouring.

Sima You Yue then repeated the story of Little Dream’s life, and when they heard that Little Dream had such a bitter life, they all felt a heartache.

“No wonder you’re treating her so well. If it were me, my heart would be hurting so badly.” Fatty Qu said.

“Little Dream is not aware of these memories, so please don’t reveal them to her, you understand?” Sima You Yue urged.

“Don’t worry, we will not say anything.” Fatty Qu punched his chest as a sign of promise.

“So are we going back now?” Sima You Lin asked.

“Since this issue has been settled, then it’s about time that we returned.” Sima You Yue said. “I’ wonder what things are like back at the Restless Continent. It might be good for us to leave as soon as possible.”

After Little Dream was done looking around, Sima You Yue brought the rest of them outside. Looking again at the chains that had bound her for all that time, Little Dream could not help but feel a deep sense of resentment and errieness.

“It’s okay. You’re free now. You are no longer trapped here.” Sima You Yue said. “Come, I’ll bring you to see the world.”

Little Roc carried everyone out from the mouth of the volcano. This was the first time Little Dream had seen the world in this light. The blue skies and white clouds were amazing enough, but the ocean boundary and the ocean beasts made her laugh and gasp in surprise and awe. Seeing her in this happy state, it was difficult for the rest to stop thinking about all the pain that she had gone through.

By the time they had reached the city, everyone had already left the shore. Each clan had gone back to their own places, leaving behind only some of the leaders to be at Anyang City discussing what to do. So, they just returned straight to the Sima Family home. The news of their returning had spread to the rest of the clans extremely quickly, and they all came running to look for them, but as they heard Sima You Yue’s words, they were sent scurrying back.

“I am only the main leader during the fight. Now that the battle is over, please don’t regard me as the main leader anymore. Now I am a junior, and if there is any issue, please look for my family’s clan leader to talk.”

Those few words allowed her to relieve herself of any responsibility that could fall on her shoulders. After saying her piece, without looking back, she took Little Dream and the rest to return to the yard of their old house. The family heads of the other families looked at each other blankly. Seeing the determination of Sima You Yue, they could only leave to look for Sima Tai to discuss whatever matters they had on their minds.

Half a day later, the same people left the Sima household. Sima You Yue, Sima You Lin and Sima You Yang went to look for Sima Tai. Thankfully, the clan’s Great Elder was there as well.

“Grandfather, we have something to discuss with you.” Sima You Yang said.

“Sima Tai looked at them, saying, “I knew the moment you guys walked in. Come, let’s talk about the thing that has brought all three of you here.”

“Grandfather, we have seen and understood many things when we were gone…” Sima You Yang recounted about how they had seen many people from the Continents at the Little Realms, how they were forced to going to the Restless Continent and everything they had seen at the Restless Continent.

“Are there really that many continents out there?” The Great Elder asked.

“That’s right.” Sima You Yang said. “Our continent has been labeled by others as the Captivity Continent, because it was created to keep people captive in it. The spirit energy here is the weakest, and because of the rules, we are not able to ascend to the divine rank, and can only become a pinnacle spirit paragon.

“You’re saying that you can ascend to the divine rank in other continents?” Sima Lin asked. Many of their clan elders had been pinnacle spirit paragons for years, but they were never able to break through to the divine rank even till they died. So, it was not because of their lack of skills, but because of the rules that were set!

“That’s right.” Sima You Yang nodded. “We had discussed this while we were outside, and we want to move our entire clan to the Restless Continent.”

“Move?” No one had ever conceived such a crazy thought before. Moving the entire clan would involve too many things! All the elders looked at one another, and shared suspicions regarding the plan. They had enjoyed such great power in this place. But the Restless Continent was a formidable place, how were they going to survive?

“Dear Elders, please do not worry about your survival after leaving.” Sima You Lin understood their concerns, and said, “We have already made plans on that side. After we have all moved there, you can have your own industries to sustain yourselves. You will also have two powerful beings to care for you, and no one will come to mess with us in that time of protection. After a few decades or centuries, we will be able to establish ourselves.”

“What kind of industry do you have there?” Sima Lin asked.

“Didn’t we say that we want to attack the Zhan family and the Sage Pavilion?” Sima You Yue said. “I have made arrangements with the Guo and Yun families. We will have four portions of the Zhan family’s property, and we will use this for living after we move there.”

“Are they agreeable?” The Great Elder asked.

“You Yue has been gracious to them, and gave them ten divinity pills as a compensation. How could they refuse?” Sima You Yang said. “It is also because of this that they have come to agree to watch over us.”

“Divinity Pills? What kind of pills are that?” How could ten divinity pills cause two great families to concede to her?

“A divinity pill can let someone who is a pinnacle spirit paragon to achieve the divine rank. Giving them divinity pills is like sending them a free pass to becoming a divine rank.” Sima You Lin explained.

Hiss—– A shiver ran down each person’s spine. How could such a pill exist!

“These pills, are pills that were made by you?”

“Of course,” Sima You Yue said. “Don’t we also have two clan elders and clan heads who have become pinnacle spirit paragons? If we go there, and take the divinity pills to attain the divine rank, then we would have also gained a footing in that continent. Later when Master comes to get us, the moment I leave, I will not be able to come back here again. So, you have to think hard on the decision to make.”

While the elders were still quiet, Sima Tai slapped his thigh, declaring, “I will go with you.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Sima You Yue was not surprised. If it were about upward progression, there was no chance of staying here.

“If that’s the case, then let us all start to prepare to leave.”
