Chapter 276: Ershania’s Journey
The woman’s name was Ershania, the very same elf woman that Yuchi had met while he was at the Vast Sea.
Of course, Yuchi had long since forgotten about her.
He was not a particularly sentimental person, nor did he care to reminisce on the past during the time when his mental state had been troubled.
Currently, he was only focused on the years he spent with Yu Shengyun.
Of course, this was only for Yuchi himself. It was completely different for Ershania.
Yuchi’s existence was like a guiding light in her life.
Back then, she had asked the old monk and the red-crowned crane at the edge of the Vast Sea where Yuchi had gone. Back then, the old monk had given a simple answer, which was that Yuchi had gone to Hanjiang.
After thinking for a while, she decisively returned to the elven race’s territory.
There, she gave an explanation to the clan leader, saying that she had to leave the elf race for some matters.
The clan leader finally agreed after much consideration. At that time, she was only SS-grade in terms of strength.
Then, she resolutely headed to Hanjiang.
For Yuchi, the distance between the Vast Sea and Hanjiang was very short.
However, for Ershania, the journey there was not easy at all.
There were too many dangers on the road, and she was almost killed by others several times.
After that, she finally arrived at Hanjiang.
She kept searching and searching, but in the end, she could not find where Yuchi was.
At that time, she was in utter despair.
She did not know why she followed him. Perhaps it was because Yuchi had saved her back then, or perhaps it was because Yuchi’s performance had completely conquered her heart.
In the end, she returned to the elven race’s territory rather gloomily.
At first, she thought that this was the end of the matter, but news of Yuchi’s next achievements quickly spread. In the hunt organized by the Tiandu division, Yuchi not only won first place, but he also killed the chief of the Tiandu division, Andrew.
Although what he had done was shocking, she was more thrilled to discover that Yuchi would wait at Hanjiang for three years.
As such, she immediately left the elven race’s territory again and set out to find Yuchi.
The result was, after three years, she failed to find him.
In fact, she had gotten close, but when she arrived at the spot where Yuchi was supposed to have been, Yuchi had gone to the artifact spirit race to treat Sword Heart.
After Yuchi left Hanjiang, there were no further clues to his location. Even so, she did not give up and stayed around Hanjiang to continue her search.
When she was not searching for him, she was cultivating. Perhaps the heavens pitied her, or she had good luck in return for her hardship, but she found many treasures.
These treasures had helped her to increase her cultivation level.
Then, one day, Ershania stumbled upon a member of the artifact spirit race.
When she asked about Yuchi, she was told to try her luck at the angel race’s territory.
However, when she heard this, she really felt a great sense of fear.
The angel race was one of the powerful races in the region.
Although there were not many of them, every single one of them was extremely powerful and ferocious.
The elven race was no match for the angel race, and could only survive in a small sect like the Black Heaven sect.
She did not even know what reason she could use to visit the angel race’s territory, and felt that she would be turned away at the door.
However, she still steeled herself and made the trip. Of course, by that time, Yuchi had already left.
They gave her a simple perfunctory reply, without revealing Yuchi’s whereabouts, nor the fact that Yu Shengyun was with him.
Ershania kept visiting them every month, and eventually, one of them got tired of it and told her that Yuchi had gone to the Moon Goddess Sea.
Even though it had not been long since Yuchi had left, the speed at which Yuchi and Ershania traveled could not be compared.
Therefore, by the time Ershania arrived at the Moon Goddess Sea, Yuchi had already been there for a number of years.
On the way, she persevered while cultivating, running from powerful members of the myriad races and fighting her way there.
This matter had slowly turned into an obsession of hers. If she failed to find him in the end, perhaps she would genuinely go insane.
Currently…
Ershania was being chased by the pirates. As she anxiously ran across the mountains around the Moon Goddess Sea, she secretly wiped her tears away.
She felt that the heavens had cut off the path to her dream.
‘Senior, where are you?’
Ershania cried inwardly.
…
In the sky above the Moon Goddess Sea.
On the pirates’ flying ship, the captain’s ‘kind’ voice rang out, “Don’t run. We’re just traveling merchants, here to offer you a good deal. Hehe!”
“You must already be tired.”
“Come aboard our ship and take a breather. We’ll send you home.”
“Hahaha!”
The captain could not hold it in any longer, and burst into laughter, which reverberated across the Moon Goddess Sea.
Yuchi, who was fishing, shook his head. Did he just poke a hornet’s nest?
Why were there pirates here again?
He had gone for years without encountering one, yet this was the third time he had stumbled upon them within a short span of time.
It was inexplicable.
