Chapter 959: Shadow Six’s Spring
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Yu Wan finished speaking, she left Shadow Six and Shadow Thirteen to deal with the aftermath and walked upstairs.
She was not in a hurry to return to her room. Instead, she went to Yan Jiuchao’s side. Zhou Jin was in the backyard, and Dad had gone somewhere. Yan Jiuchao was the only one on the empty bed.
He fell asleep with his clothes on. He lay quietly with a cold expression. His slender body was a little charming in the night. His breathing was even and shallow, so he should have fallen asleep. A pair of slender jade-like hands were casually placed beside him. His wide sleeves seemed to be covering him, making his joints look distinct and fair.
This was a man who emitted a powerful aura even when he was asleep. No one dared to approach him, but they could not help but want to get close. He was like a poppy. One would fall into it without hesitation even if it knew that it was poisonous.
Yu Wan reached out and carefully drew his exquisite eyebrows. Such a handsome man was her husband. Why did she feel that the vase was smashed too well back then? If she hadn’t come here, how could she have met a man like Yan Jiuchao?
I can’t quit…
She was very intoxicated by her husband’s beautiful face for a while. She was worried that they would see her infatuated look when Zhou Jin and Dad returned. Yu Wan planned to retract her hand, but just as she moved, she was hugged by a strong arm.
“You… aren’t asleep?” Yu Wan was shocked. Thinking of her impudence just now, she couldn’t help but blush.
“I was, but I was woken up by you,” Yan Jiuchao said indifferently with his eyes closed as he hugged the person in his arms. He was really woken up halfway. His voice was still hoarse and lazy, but the more he did so, the better it sounded. Yu Wan felt that her ears did not belong to her anymore.
Although Yan Jiuchao was hugging her, he did not make her stomach suffer. He held her shoulders with one hand and gently protected her stomach with the other. He did not say a sweet word, but all his gentleness was placed on the caution he used to treat her.
Yu Wan did not know if it was because she was easily agitated after getting pregnant, but she felt that she would never meet a better man than him.
The atmosphere was suddenly a little sad.
Yan Jiuchao said, “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
At the mention of this, Yu Wan became excited. She swept away the bitterness and sadness in her heart and told Yan Jiuchao in high spirits about how she had “destroyed” a great sorcerer. “…So I’m so powerful!”
Yan Jiuchao couldn’t bear to expose her and nodded indifferently. “Yes, quite powerful.”
“Right?” Yu Wan smiled smugly. “I also think I’m powerful!”
Before dawn, the group packed up and set off. Sorcerer Liang was tied up and left in the backyard of the inn.
Yu Wan looked at this appearance and was quite satisfied. She turned to leave. Sorcerer Liang stopped her. “Heroine, bring me along too!”
Yu Wan turned around. “Bring you along? Why?”
“This…” Sorcerer Liang choked and said, “Didn’t you bring him along too? He’s the mastermind. I’m listening to him. If you can forget the past and bring him along, why make things difficult for me?”
He was referring to the cloaked man from the Dark Hall.
Yu Wan said in amusement, “He’s the contact. He has value. Do you?” Sorcerer Liang was stuck.
One could imagine the fate of a sorcerer who had been abandoned in the inn. However, these were not questions Yu Wan needed to consider. After all, from the moment he unscrupulously harmed Zhou Jin and Zhou Yuyan, he had already lost the qualifications to make people sympathize.
The black market was not far from here. If they rode a camel, they would arrive in two days.
On the way to the black market, Yu Wan learned that the cloaked man’s name was Dawa, and he was a guardian of the Dark Hall with a noble status. He had practiced sorcery since he was young and was already an early-stage Heaven Realm Great Sorcerer. He looked a little old, but he was only twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Such a young Great Sorcerer was extremely rare outside the Sorcerer Clan.
Although he was a sorcerer, he was not a member of the Sorcerer Clan.
“The sorcery of the Sorcerer Clan has long been spread. Everyone can learn it. However, it’s not easy to learn it well.” As he spoke, he was quite smug about his realm as a Great Sorcerer.
Yu Wan looked at the nine-year-old Zhou Jin. “Yes, it’s not easy.”
He was already in his twenties and was only at the early-stage Heaven Realm. A nine-year-old child was already at the peak of the Heaven Realm. Dawa followed Yu Wan’s gaze and looked at Zhou Jin. He instantly felt unhappy.
Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao were riding on the same camel. Most of the time, it was Yu Wan who asked questions. Yan Jiuchao, who was behind her, only listened silently. This was originally easy to ignore his existence, but the truth was far from it.
This was a man destined to emit endless light wherever he went. His otherworldly appearance and the royal nobility of a ruler made this silent young man look noble and mysterious.
His eyes were focused. He was only focused on the heartless little fat girl in front of him.
Dawa did not dare to keep his gaze on Yan Jiuchao for too long. He was instinctively afraid of him.
“By the way, you haven’t said how that person found the Dark Hall,” Yu Wan said to Dawa.
Dawa replied, “They didn’t just look for the Dark Hall.”
The mission was targeted at the entire black market. All the people from the black market could accept this mission. As for who would win in the end, it would depend on their own abilities.
There were no portraits or names. There were only three characteristics: a boy, eight or nine years old, and his strength was at least that of a Heaven Realm Great Sorcerer.
There were many boys and a few sorcerers at the age of eight or nine, but it was not impossible. However, Heaven Realm… To be honest, if the reward was not generous enough to buy a city, no one would take on such an unlikely mission.
Dawa had met Sorcerer Liang by chance and heard about Zhou Jin from him.
Although Zhou Jin was an Earth Realm Sorcerer, Sorcerer Liang knew that Zhou Jin’s sorcery power had been sealed. In other words, his strength was far above the Earth Realm. This was very in line with the conditions they were looking for.
Dawa had promised Sorcerer Liang that as long as he could help him find that child, he would help him enter the Sorcerer Clan. They did not expect that this child would come knocking on their door halfway without even going to the Jade Nation.
Of course, what they did not expect was that instead of capturing the child, they were captured by others.
Two days later, they crossed the desert and arrived at the black market.
The black market was bigger and more prosperous than expected. However, the architectural style and carriages were even older than the Great Zhou, Nanzhao, and the Nether Capital.
Although the black market was not as heavily guarded as the Sorcerer Clan, not just anyone could enter. Dawa negotiated with the guard at the entrance. The guard looked at Yan Jiuchao, Yu Wan, and the others suspiciously. In the end, he did not say anything and let them pass.
“Hmph, this is because you met Dawa. If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t have been able to bring so many people in,” Dawa said with his chin raised.
In the end, no one bothered with him.
The embarrassed Dawa : “…”
After the group entered the black market, they changed the camels to a carriage.
Dawa’s mission had failed. He did not dare to be discovered by the people from the Dark Hall, so he could only bring them to his courtyard first.
When they passed through a busy street, Yu Wan saw many men begging by the roadside. Those people’s looks and bearing were not bad, and they did not look like ordinary beggars.
“What’s wrong with those people?” Yu Wan voiced her doubts.
Dawa rode beside Yu Wan’s carriage. He followed Yu Wan’s gaze and said,
“They’re all sorcerers whose sorcery power was snatched away.”
Yu Wan raised her eyebrows. “Can your sorcery power be taken away?”
Dawa said, “Of course, the black market is not a peaceful place. It’s best if you don’t come out and walk around for no reason. Otherwise, if your sorcery power is snatched away, you’ll become like those people.”
Yu Wan was about to ask how those people were when she saw a young beggar walking over with a walking stick. His face was pale and his eyes were lifeless. He was clearly… blind! As if seeing her confusion, Yan Jiuchao, who was beside her, said calmly, “The sorcery power exists in the sorcerer’s eyes. Without the sorcery power, the sorcerer’s eyes will be blind.”
Yu Wan nodded in enlightenment. “Now that you mention it… I think I understand.
The power of the Saintess was passed down through her bloodline, so the blood of the Saintess was a very precious thing. The sorcerer’s sorcery power existed in his eyes, so the Sorcerer King’s Tear was extremely precious.
The Dark Hall was the strongest faction in the black market. Generally speaking, no one dared to touch the sorcerers of the Dark Hall, but there was also the possibility that some people were bold. Therefore, other than sorcerers, the Dark Hall also hired many powerful experts.
They had arrived at the courtyard.
A servant came up to him. Dawa gave him a few instructions, and the servant hurriedly agreed. He went to tidy up the room for Yan Jiuchao, Yu Wan, and the others. Dawa turned to Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao and said, ‘You guys stay here first. That person will arrive tomorrow. I’ll arrange for you to meet.”
“Got it.” Yu Wan nodded.
“Young Madam, then I’ll go put the things first,” Ping’er said with her luggage.
Yu Wan said, “Yes, go.”
Ping’er turned around and left.
Zhou Yuyan also began to move her and her junior brother’s luggage. These were all bought on the way. It wasn’t a lot, but it was not little.
Seeing that she couldn’t take it down, Shadow Six helped her lift the heaviest bag. When he was carrying it, he accidentally touched her hand. Shadow Six was carrying six bags and small bags. He walked with the wind and did not notice that he had touched the girl’s hand. However, Zhou Yuyan’s eyelashes trembled and her pretty face turned red..
