Cultivation Goddess
Chapter 360. Bloodily

The man who was very similar to Jian Heng looked back. Fang Yin held his breath to welcome some possibilities about who the man was.

Regardless of that person Jian Heng or not, his heart felt extremely muddled with his presence.

'From the air of his body he was not Brother Heng but his clothes made me unable to think clearly. I saw Brother Heng everywhere.'

"Good night, Your Majesty!" greet the man saluting.

"Good night, Huan Ran," Fang Yin replied nervously.

Huan Ran wore the clothes that Jian Heng had gifted him while they were living in the Silver Mountain. They were close friends and often practiced together during their stay there.

"Sorry, bother you at night. There are a few things I want to tell you." Huan Ran's hand took out several books and scrolls containing recapitulations of spending and planning in government.

Fang Yin appointed him prime minister. Although Huan Ran initially refused but when he saw that Fang Yin had so much trouble handling the government by himself, he finally accepted it.

With her current job, Huan Ran hopes she can be on equal footing and be worthy of Da Xia. In the future, when Fang Yin's reign had stabilized, she wanted to marry him and bring him to live in the palace.

"I'll check it out tonight. You'll know the outcome tomorrow."

Huan Ran nodded then asked himself to return to his residence. The night had been late he did not want to disturb Fang Yin anymore. He still has some work to do tonight.

After Huan Ran's departure, Fang Yin returned alone. Much has to be done given that the formation of a new government has not been fully completed.

For the selection of soldiers and bodyguards he entrusted it to both his grandparents. The selection of small kings has not been done considering that all central governments have not been formed perfectly.

The entire state still received the attention of Fang Yin despite not having a legitimate leader. He asked Guan Xing, Acong and Tian Feng to go around and ensure the safety of the residents.

They were very happy and enthusiastic about accepting the new leader in power. During this time the government seemed to strangle them with taxes and high tribute to the kingdom. In the future, Fang Yin will oversee the activities of the government to the lowest region.

Given the vast amount of untapped potential in the areas, Fang Yin created a map of the locations and marked the specific locations that he targeted. That way he hoped to optimize the potential and resources that existed in the entire Eastern Continent realm.

"I think my head hurts a lot. Becoming the head of government is not easy. After marriage I want to leave all these duties to Brother Heng alone." Fang Yin put down his pen after finishing his work.

His body feels stiff. He raised both his hands up and then moved his body to the right and to the left to do the stretching. After feeling better Fang Yin laid down her body on the bed.

The night was so late that it didn't take long for him to move to dreamland. In his subconscious, Fang Yin's body was trapped inside a dark space.

His eyes could not reach anything. His feet walked slowly up to the steep and slightly slippery surface of the ground. The sound of water points bouncing makes him think if he is currently in the cave.

Moist air is inhaled and stored in the cavity of his lungs. Fang Yin's two hands tried to reach the wall that might be beside him but did not find anything.

'If I don't have the courage maybe right now I feel really fucked up.' Fang Yin tried to expel the Qi from within his body but to no avail. He repeated it several times but the results remained the same.

'Shit! What is this place? Why can't I use my powers here?' Fang Yin continued to try it even though the result was simply a waste.

Forced Fang Yin to continue his steps to find a way out. Occasionally he stopped to feel the air coming into this place to determine the direction of entry. That way he can find a gap or the mouth of the cave.

Fang Yin's footsteps slowed down as he felt the air of life around him. It seemed like he was getting further and further trapped into the depths.

In order to protect himself Fang Yin tried to pull out the sword from within his storage ring. The sword appeared in his hand. A smile was on his face, there was at least hope of surviving with all the items stored there.

Life's Eve drew closer as Fang Yin's steps drew closer. Awareness increased. Anything can happen outside of his plan.

A pair of eyes that looked so big lit up in the darkness. It was less than fifty steps away from where he was standing now.

Those eyes moving upwards signified his body being awakened from his sleep. The scent of breath filled the cave room until a spark lit up the dark room.

Fang Yin's body trembled as the flame light made his body visible to the pair of eyes belonging to the awakened dragon. It seemed like the dragon was furious and felt disturbed by his presence.

It was too late to retreat and it was impossible for him to step forward without calculations. Until a burst of flames came back out from the dragon's mouth, Fang Yin had not been able to master the circumstances around him.

His body jumped to dodge with the rest of his abilities. Luckily Fang Yin had gone through many physical exercises without using any Qi so his body was able to dodge quickly from the bursts of flames.

With the light from the fire Fang Yin could clearly see the road that might be able to take him out of there. However, the dragon did not stay silent and continued to chase after him with a vengeance.

Fang Yin's concentration was split apart where he had to dodge the burst of flames and find a way out. Behind this predicament, the light of fire helped him find the path that led him out of a dark place.

A glimmer of light began to be seen in the distance. Now Fang Yin was more and more confident in his steps and moved quickly towards the end of the cave. Although he did not know what the path in front of him was like but he did not have to feel roasted inside the narrow cave.

Beyond a doubt, the situation outside is more difficult than inside the cave. Fang Yin had to be faced with even more challenging difficulties. Around it was a steep ravine with steep rocks. If you are not careful, then he will slip and fall into an invisible abyss basically so deep.

The falling rocks did not sound like they were touching the bottom. The white fog covering the bottom of the ravine indicates that he is now in height.

'I feel like this isn't the human world. Maybe I'm in another dimension.' Both of Fang Yin's hands held firmly on the cliff wall with one of them holding a sword.

The dragon that was chasing him was trying to get out of the cave by moving its huge body. The large body can not pass through the mouth of the cave which has a smaller size.

Before the dragon could come out, Fang Yin immediately took a step to escape from the place. He could not stay silent given that at this moment he could not use his strength.

The irregular condition of the cliff made Fang Yin have to take pains to move away from the place. His hands were scratched by the pointed rocks. Blood mixed with sweat dripped from his body.

The top of the cliff is already visible and a little more can be achieved. Suddenly, someone stepped on his hand. His face was very similar to his but he was a man.

"Who are you?" Fang Yin was shocked as well as feeling scared.

His feet were trying to hold his body in view of the hand that became the pedestal being trampled firmly by that person.

"Haha! No one knows who I am because your father abandoned me and my mother. Maybe he never thought of me as his son."

The man's words made him stupefied. He did not expect that he still had a brother other than his two brothers. All of these shocking things felt like lightning was striking above his head.

"If you're right, my brother, you should have spoken well to me instead of attacking me like this. Would you be satisfied to see me die. Oh, yeah, how could a coward understand this."

Fang Yin spoke half-mockingly to have the man hooked. Sure enough, the man released his footrest and pulled Fang Yin's body up the cliff with his energy. The two now stand facing each other.

"Where am I now?" fang Yin asked fearlessly.

His eyes continued to observe the appearance of the man who had a slightly different appearance to humans in general. On his head are small horns that branch out on both sides of his head. His pupils were yellowish with long straight jet-black hair.

"You are in the lower dimension. I am a direct descendant of Emperor Gu from a mother who gave birth to me. My mother is a dragon spirit beast that has been transformed into a human."

This news sounded very shocking to Fang Yin but she was trying to be calm. The truth of this news is still in doubt because in his family lineage Emperor Gu only had four legally recognized wives.

"Do you know if my father died ten years ago?" ask Fang Yin.

The man was aghast at Fang Yin's words. Perhaps he was thinking if the current Emperor Gu was still alive and powerful in the Empire of the Eastern Continent.

"My mom has sealed me in this place so I can't get out of here. I can't check things in the human world. All my life, I lived in this dimension with thousands of dragons and lived in their midst."

Fang Yin's shock had not disappeared but he was trying to come to terms with reality. He slowly walked up to the man even though his attitude still looked so cold to him. The look in his eyes had yet to imply that they had reconciled.

"May I meet your mother?" fang Yin asked in a soft voice.

The man shook his head. His heart felt bad when it remembered his mother. It has been almost a year since her mother died from losing all her strength. Someone from the lower realms managed to enter this dimension and mess up this region. For the sake of saving this dimension the mother of the man exerted all her strength to destroy the enemy.

"My mother died a year ago." The man's face looked gloomy.

He then told me briefly about what happened. A sad incident that left him devastated until he managed to master the forbidden science that brought Fang Yin there.

"My name is Gu Fang Yin. My family used to call me Yin'er. You can also call me that if you want." Fang Yin tried to be nice to the man. Seeing her face so sad with the glare of her dear eyes, she began to be sure that what she said contained no lies.

This name sounded strange to Fang Yin but she did not dare to comment of any sort. The tense atmosphere had just subsided, she did not want to offend her brother and had him re-ignited with a grudge.

"Of all the sons of Emperor Gu, I am the youngest. I also have two older brothers besides you and I'm the only woman."

Cau Ahlin was astonished. The forbidden knowledge he used was supposed to bring along his other two brothers. He felt that something was wrong because only Fang Yin had come there.

'I thought that by kidnapping my brother my father would come to this place to pick them up. It turns out dad's dead too. Then why didn't my two brothers come to this place? Did I make a mistake while using that forbidden technique?' Cau Ahlin wondered inwardly.

As if knowing what was in Cau Ahlin's head, Fang Yin immediately told of the massacre that happened ten years ago. All the bad things that happened to him were told clearly by him.

Fang Yin said that he also suffered the same suffering. Over ten years he struggles to become strong in order to regain his father's power.

Cau Ahlin gaped upon hearing Fang Yin's story but heartache still reigned. For more than thirty years he lived confined within this dimension. He knew the story about the human world from the dragon spirit beast that absorbed the energy essence from the human realm.

"I don't care about your struggles. It is up to the human realm and your Eastern Continent. You still have to stay here and know what it's like to live in a closed dimension of the outside world."

Cau Ahlin turned her back to Fang Yin. I don't know what came to his mind that he wanted to bring Fang Yin along to live in an alien dimension filled with dragon spirit beasts.

"Wait, Brother! I have just led the Empire of the Eastern Continent. There are many things that I am trying to fix from the previous government. Please let me go home." Fang Yin pleaded with Cau Ahlin.

The secret technique used by Cau Ahlin affected him to be evil. He spilled his blood to attract people who were bloodied with him. Fang Yin's power was within his power.

Without her permission, even Fang Yin would not be able to return to the human realm. The only way he could do that was to cancel the blood covenant that Cau Ahlin had made or kill him.

Cau Ahlin stopped her steps then looked back at Fang Yin with her body still in the same position. Only his head turned its head and looked at Fang Yin with one eye.

"I don't care. You should know what my life is like in this dimension. Forever you too must stay and feel the suffering that I will inevitably have to accept."

'Looks like my situation will get even harder if I fight him. Maybe for a while I should be patient. Hopefully this situation will not last long and I can return to the human world immediately.' Fang Yin walked following Cau Ahlin over the top of the cliff with both sides directly adjacent to the deep ravine.

In front of them was a staircase lined with stone carvings resembling dragons. The stairs rise to the top with infinite length. Some parts were covered by white clouds which made it even more faint.

Fang Yin felt that this scene was an eye illusion. However, Cau Ahlin looked very relaxed and walked up the stairs.

"Sister Lin, where are we going?" fang Yin asked feeling very tired since they had walked for too long.

Cau Ahlin smiled evilly faintly. He had indeed deliberately made Fang Yin exhausted in order to have her heart ache slightly treated. He had been looking forward to times like this for a long time.

Occasionally a flying dragon flashed around them with a flashing motion. They were seen respecting Cau Ahlin and did not dare to disturb her. This sight made Fang Yin so amazed. He felt like he was looking at the dragon festival celebration.

"Be quiet! The more you talk, the longer we get to my house."

Cau Ahlin's words made Fang Yin frown. She started to feel her brother pranking herself.

'Oh, apparently you pranked myself. Looks like I'll have to take you back. I wonder if your attitude is really bad and doesn't care about me. I wonder if the blood ties between us make you notice me.' Fang Yin smiled ignorantly.

His legs pretended to stumble and staggered almost to fall. Fang Yin tried to hold back his pleasure by resting on the tip of his remaining leg but Cau Ahlin was unaware of it. In vain has been the pretense he did.

Fang Yin's body actually fell down and made him shout. The feeling of resentment dissipated his concentration to the point that he was unable to hold on to the top of the stairs.

Cau Ahlin jumped after Fang Yin because she knew that her sister was in danger. He sealed his strength, without which Fang Yin could not possibly fly and return safely. It could be that a ferocious dragon spirit beast prey on him because they did not yet know that he was his half-brother.

Fang Yin's body glided swiftly free-falling into the bottomless valley. The gravity in that dimension seems to be greater than the gravity in the human realm.

As Fang Yin began to resign, Yang Hui appeared and saved him. His strength was separated from Fang Yin so it could still survive.

In the dragon dimension he was also able to take in the energy essence from the realms around him. Even he had strength above all spirit beasts living in that dimension.

Yang Hui roared loudly showing his anger. Seeing Fang Yin's helpless body he pulled her to fuse with him.

Cau Ahlin was shocked when she saw the change Fang Yin had transformed into a dragon. He only found out that his sister also had a companion spirit fused in her body.

Yang Hui's eyes flashed a grudge. His mouth spewed out a black colored flame and burned the clouds into a dark flame. This ability made Cau Ahlin even more aghast, he did not expect that the extremely rare fire was possessed by his sister.

"Who are you really?" cau Ahlin asked Yang Hui.

"I am the Dragon Goddess. You are wrong to have offended me. When our souls unite then there is no opponent I will let go safely!" Yang Hui's nature was balanced with Cau Ahlin's.

They both had cruel and arrogant natures. You can guess what happens next. The two of them could not help themselves to fight.

Cau Ahlin changed her form into a white dragon to compensate for Yang Hui's attack. They moved swiftly in the sky and were seen as a flash of white and gold colored light.

The two lights were spitting out energy according to the Qi element they had. The light of energy clashing together produced small explosions that lit up in the sky.

Yang Hui felt that Cau Ahlin was a threat so he attacked her seriously. Aside from using Qi, Yang Hui also carried out a direct attack. His claw and tail slash managed to injure Cau Ahlin.

The altitude brings them into the area that is at the top of the stairs. Cau Ahlin's body turned into a human and slammed down on a courtyard. The courtyard was the courtyard of a quite magnificent palace.

Yang Hui did not want to let go of Cau Ahlin even though she was already helpless. His body moved swiftly to tear apart the body of Cau Ahlin.

As Yang Hui's claws nearly touched Cau Ahlin's body, Fang Yin regained his senses.

"Yang Hui, stop it!" cry Fang Yin.

Fang Yin's cry stopped Yang Hui. Although Fang Yin was currently weakening, he still had to obey his orders. His position as the owner of a real body was higher than her.

"Your Majesty."

Yang Hui began to relax his vigilance. He knew very well what kind of calculating Fang Yin was. He was often more cruel than her.

"Why don't you let him kill me? Can't you be free after I die." Cau Ahlin held onto her chest withstanding the pain. At the corner of his lips was fresh blood coming out.

Fang Yin released himself from Yang Hui's body and took complete control of his own body. He stepped closer to Cau Ahlin.

"You are my brother. To others I may be cruel, but not to you. You should have helped me when I slipped but you let it go. Even if you're so cruel, I won't repay you with the same."

Cau Ahlin looked at Fang Yin in a moment. There was a misunderstanding here but he had no evidence to explain it. He is not a good talker either.

Before Yang Hui came to save Fang Yin, he was trying to catch up to help her. However, upon reaching it Fang Yin had been saved by Yang Hui in an unconscious state.

"Already! Forget that! I don't mind it anymore. Now my only goal is to make peace with you. If I get out of here then I want you to give me a way out, not because I forced you."

Cau Ahlin was still silent.

Yang Hui still continued to stand behind Fang Yin to guard him. He doesn't want anything bad to happen again.

The spirit beasts that tried to approach immediately turned around when they saw Yang Hui.

"Yin'er, maybe it's too late but I want to apologize to you. I honestly don't know how to get you out of here."

Cau Ahlin's speech made Fang Yin growled.
