Chapter 222 - Still He Cared For Her
As Yuan Meng continued to stare at the moon with her teary eyes.
On the bed.
Ning Wei also stars at Yuan Meng as she mumbled those words.
She felt even more worried about Ye Qian while listening to Yuan Meng.
She turned to the little girls who were also mumbling something in their sleep.
"Papa, Jia is so lucky to have you."
Little Jia mumbled as she tightly hugged Little Qiqi in her arms with a wide smile on her lips.
Ning Wei's worry somewhat lessened while looking at them, but she was still concerned about Ye Qian.
__________
While the two ladies were waiting for Ye Qian to come back as soon as possible.
In the living room.
Grandma Yan's eyes were feeling dizzy but she still forced herself to be awake.
She stood up while going to the bathroom to wash her face and wait for Ye Qian to come back.
__________
Right now, within the Lake of Pridid.
Ye Qian had passed nearly about all of the lake and had left all the whirlpools behind him.
But his figure was very unsightly.
There was barely any complete muscle on his body as of now.
With most of his bones visible, Ye Qian could be called as only skeleton if not for those tiny strands of so-called muscles still supporting him.
His nose was burned away, along with his ears, and lips, and even his eyelids were no more.
But there was a clear smile on his leftover thin lips.
It had been nearly about 8 hours since he was walking within the lake, and with each step, he took after he was near the whirlpools he would feel like the burning would increase by nearly twice the power.
But he was not worried about his body as of now, since he had many ways to rebuild it with the only downside, that being a massive loss of Spiritual Energy.
Ye Qian walked towards the shore of the lake, using all the power he could muster.
He was just a few meters away from the shore when the lava around it started to boil.
Ye Qian was already at his wit's end but seeing the lava starting to boil he even used the Spiritual Energy he had while trying to rush as quickly as possible.
But before he could even do so, something peculiar happened right where he was.
Ye Qian was almost only bones by now, but he was trying hard to get to the shore.
With the lava boiling, Ye Qian's speed decreased even more.
But this time what was even more frightening was the fact that even his heart had started to burn by now.
"AARRGGGHHHHH"
He groaned while covering himself with a thin layer of Spiritual Energy, but all it could stay for was some 10's seconds before the boiling lava.
__________
"AARRGGGHHHHH"
Meanwhile, on the outside of the lake.
Ye Qian's groan was loud enough to even be heard for a few kilometres away.
The small sparrow who was happy just a moment ago was shocked and stared at the figure on the throne.
The figure chuckled lightly.
"All he has to do is pass through this and he will be fine and back to what he was before."
Though what he said was enough to make Ye Qian feel relief, the sparrow's eyes teared once again.
That cry was already painful enough, how could one be even alive if one were to suffer this anymore.
Meanwhile, behind the sparrow, the figure shook his head lightly.
'Really ironic, the one who never dared to look at me was staring at me like I was a perpetrator.'
He sighed again while shaking his head and waved his hand.
And again the sparrow and he were teleported to a different place which looked completely similar to that they were in before but was also different.
__________
Ye Qian took a deep breath while trying to calm himself and find a way out of this situation.
But even after doing that he couldn't.
Finally, all he could do was close his eyes.
"Papa"
As soon as he closed his eyes the figure of Little Qiqi's appeared before him as she extended her hand to hug him.
After that it was Yuan Meng, then Little Jia, then his parents and then there was someone he would have never thought of.
Though the figure was blurry it was still there.
It was a woman whom he had met just a day ago but still, he cared for her.
It was Ning Wei.
If Ye Qian had eyebrows now, they would surely have furrowed as high as his head.
With that, as if something broke in his mind, Ye Qian's mind cleared up while a lot of changes happened within him which even he didn't know.
His body subconsciously started to move without him knowing of it like it was being controlled by something else.
With the final step on the shore of the lake, Ye Qian opened his eyes which meant he brought his consciousness back since he didn't have any eyelids to close them.
The first thing he saw was a Gate, this one looked almost similar to that of the gate of Pridid but was hundreds of times larger than the Gate of Pridid which he had walked on.
But there were many things which were not the same.
The Gate here didn't seem to have the upper portion.
Ye Qian was out by now and glanced around in confusion as he didn't know how he had walked till here by now.
"You have to walk through it in order to get what you want."
A bland voice entered his "Ears" while he looked around in confusion.
Ye Qian turned to his right to see that the figure which was sitting on the throne was right here and even the small thing was here.
There were tears falling down its eyes after looking at Ye Qian.
"Hmm"
Ye Qian nodded while walking to the Gate.
