Sima You Yue turned around, drawing her hair along which also pulled him up. “Let’s go, I don’t know what it is.”
Wu Lingyu was pulled along with her. They went to the small tower in the Spirit Pagoda.
Sima You Yue seldom came here. She usually had Little Spirit take whatever she needed from there and wouldn’t come here specially.
Every time she came here, she would remember how she said those words and was struck by lightning and got an afro.
Little Spirit appeared. “I thought you forgot about this.”
“I have been busy lately?” Sima You Yue said. “Why don’t you tell me what’s in it instead of having me come.”
“You’ll know when you look through.” Little Spirit kept her in suspense. “Let’s go.”
He led Sima You Yue and Wu Lingyu in. They ascended level by level and stopped when they were between the third and fourth level.
A faint cloudy mist enveloped the upper stairs. Since Sima You Yue hadn’t gone up before, it hadn’t dispersed.
“Go up.” Little Spirit said to her.
Sima You Yue nodded and stepped up.
Those cloudy mist slowly dispersed as she ascended to the fourth level. All the cloudy mist dissipated the moment she reached.
Wu Lingyu followed. The two of them stood in front of the gate of the fourth level, waiting to see what was inside that caused Little Spirit to be so mysterious.
Sima You You took a deep breath. She stretched out her hand and slowly opened the door.
This floor was different from the other floors. IIt wasn’t a mountainscape world nor was it a mine. It was just a big dark room. A very, very large one at that.
“It’s so dark. It’s covered entirely in dust.” Sima You Yue waved her hand in front.
“You became stupid after getting injured.” Little Spirit said contemptuously.
She had been getting better and better recently, which he almost forgot about the times he always despised her.
“…”Black lines formed on her face. This guy was trying her again.
Didn’t he say that she could control it? He could just remind her instead of giving her such undisguised contempt.
She willed and the dark room immediately became bright. But the sudden scenery stunned her. Even Wu Lingyu was surprised as well.
After a while, Sima You Yue came back to her senses. She looked at the pile of scrap iron in front. She asked in disbelief, “Is this the thing on the fourth level?”
“Yes!” Little Spirit replied affirmatively.
Sima You Yue’s mouth twitched. No wonder this guy wanted her to come see for herself. If he told her that, she wouldn’t believe it.
Little Spirit looked at her disdain and rolled his eyes. “You really think they are a pile of scrap iron?”
“Isn’t it?” Sima You Yue turned around confused.
Little Spirit couldn’t help rolling his eyes again. “That is treasure!”
“Treasure?” Sima You Yue picked up a piece shaped like a hand. She really didn’t see how it was a treasure.
“I said your stupid and you’re acting dumb!” Little Spirit reproached. “The real thing is inside, not here! behind!”
Only then did Sima You Yue know behind the room, which was bigger than a few football fields filled with broken scrap iron, was a door.
“Why didn’t you say earlier?” She rolled her eyes back at Little Spirit. Holding Wu Lingyu, she stepped past the pile of scrap iron.
“They are all treasures. But you don’t have the ability so you can only regard them as broken pieces of metal.” Little Spirit said.
