Chapter 914: Chapter 912: Seniority Chapter 914: Chapter 912: Seniority At that instant, the moonlight in front of his eyes was pale as frost.
A familiar feeling came and instantly enveloped the surroundings.
When Fu Qian looked again, the eyeball under the windowsill had disappeared.
“We had better be quick.”
Selana still stood beside him, and since he seemed fine, she spoke briskly.
“Outside?”
Fu Qian sized her up, truly fitting as a host in this arena–Selana looked even better now.
Even two familiar wing membranes stretched out from her back, paired with a pair of bright red eyes, exuding an imposing yet sinister aura.
“Yes, and we have at most ten hours.”
A bit annoyed by Fu Qian’s gaze admiring the extraordinary creation, Selana took a deep breath and took out a shiny pocket watch from her body and glanced at it.
An extraordinary item…she really was well prepared.
“Because it will be daylight after ten hours?”
Feeling the moment, Fu Qian casually asked.
“Would I use something that becomes ineffective so easily to set a trap for you?”
Annoyed, Selana glanced at Fu Qian, and in the next moment, her figure flickered and she appeared in a shadow across from the bookstore.
“Ten hours, because any longer and I might not have the strength to disable it from the inside.”
How convenient this shadow travel was!
Without using any exaggerated actions like the Blood Conquest, Fu Qian lightly jumped, crossed through the open door of the bookstore, and arrived next to Selana, his whole body bathing in moonlight.
Based on the last experience, being completely exposed to the moonlight or hiding in the shadows both weren’t big issues; instead, allowing both to intermittently appear on his body led to a rapid accumulation of restrictions.
“We need to find the Moonlight Grove.”
“The forest?”
Hearing this familiar name, Fu Qian curiously looked around.
“No, you’ll know when you see it, it’s somewhere on the periphery of this area.”
Selana shook her head.
“A recreation of the real world environment, there’s just this area; beyond this is nothing but barren, which makes it easy to discover.”
This layout kind of resembled the dreams he created with the Affection Ring.
Fu Qian quietly noted in his mind.
At this moment, Selana had already started continuous leaps, searching for the target while maximizing the reduction of restriction accumulation.
And for Fu Qian, who simply bathed in the moonlight, following her was effortless.
“I remember hearing before, apart from the Gulad Family, does the Bloodline Clan have other branches?”
Given it was so easy, he even had leisure to chat.
“There are two existing branches, but their relations aren’t that harmonious.”
Even Selana had to emphasize; it seemed they really weren’t harmonious, Fu Qian nodded.
“But you are from the same Ancestor?”
…
This time, Selana hesitated for a moment.
“Ancestor… you could say that, but there are some subtle differences.”
“Oh? I would like to hear more.”
Fu Qian perked up.
“You really are very curious.”
Half her body merged into the shadow, Selana observed the direction while her tone involuntarily turned curious.
Regarding this voluntarily committed, even threatening to come help, demigod, she still wasn’t quite sure about his motives.
No one would be so curious to court death to this extent, would they?
As for wanting to harm oneself… that’s even more of a joke.
The other party had had more than one opportunity to kill him, including the Ember incident last time. Even if he casually killed him then, given Yuan Shan’s indulgence towards him, she probably wouldn’t have made much of a fuss.
“All three branches of the Bloodline Clan agree that Annalise is the ancestor of all Bloodline members,” he said. “The agreement is unanimous, but the connection between the Ancestor and the moon varies.”
“For us, the moon is the symbol of the Ancestor, an absolutely consistent concept, but some believe the Ancestor is merely the moon’s offspring.”
Annalise isn’t the moon itself, just its offspring?
Fu Qian touched the Affection Ring on his hand.
Then what about the Red Moon? It surely couldn’t just be Annalise’s mother, could it?
If that were true, his own seniority would be quite exaggerated.
Even the present Selana would probably have to call him ‘Great Grandfather’ or something.
That shouldn’t be the case; the Red Moon seemed quite reluctant to be the moon.
Besides, there was also the Dark Moon that appeared after shooting the sun with Blasphemy’s Embrace.
To say there wasn’t some entanglement would be hard to believe, considering the Gulad Family had been misled before.
This world’s moon seems like a deity with a story.
“I see.”
Lost in thought, Fu Qian nodded, expressing his thanks to Selana for enlightening him.
As he hadn’t been conversing, Selana had already made several leaps in seconds.
Even though Fu Qian was distracted, he hadn’t lost track of her.
Indeed, as Selana had said, the area replicating the real world wasn’t large, and the two had already reached its edge.
“Moving forward, taking one more step will make direction hard to control, so we must continue together,” Selana said hastily. “Finding the target largely depends on luck.”
“Don’t worry, driven by your sincerity, until you achieve your goal, you can count on my full support, no matter how many attempts it takes.”
My sincerity… as if I was the one who asked for your help!
Selana gritted her teeth in secret, jumping out of the shadows and taking the lead towards the front.
Outside the real event area, it wasn’t shrouded by a dense fog of chaos.
If anything, it was quite the contrary. The intense moonlight, several times stronger, illuminated the plain expansively.
Not a blade of grass in sight, the moonlit fine sand stretched towards the horizon where faint ruins could be glimpsed, as though they had endured countless ages here.
And following her a few steps further, Fu Qian understood why Selana said it was easy to get lost here– the fierce moonlight not only increased the rate of confinement multiple times but even affected one’s perception.
Now, no matter which direction he looked, it was all shimmering silver.
Just a few steps out, and the bookstore’s direction had already become blurred.
“I now believe that there are divine secrets hidden here.”
In response to Selana’s scrutiny, Fu Qian gestured.
“Lead the way.”
“Alright.”
Once again confirming her resolve, Selana didn’t say much but lightly leaped, gliding a significant distance.
No wonder a group of them are all so narcissistic.
Watching Selana’s gray hair flutter elegantly as she landed lightly and gracefully, Fu Qian sighed, resisting the urge to sprout wings himself.
With the Grand Fate Ming Emperor currently in the spotlight, he figured it was best not to draw any associations in that direction.
…
The search continued for over two hours, and ten minutes after Selana pulled out her pocket watch for the fifth time, she suddenly stopped in her tracks and took a deep breath.
“We’re in luck.”
