"Sister, what should we do? Huhuhu" Rainbow leaned on Halcyon, sobbing.
Sima You Yue felt terrible as well. She had personally once witnessed the change that had happened. After sharing a relationship for two years, and seeing him becoming hurt to this extent, she was unable to believe what was before her eyes. She looked at Old Man Devil and asked: "Master, is there really no way we can save Halcyon?"
Old Man Devil looked at her, saying firmly, "Instead of saying that there's no way, it's that it is too dangerous. The ones who save him will be put in danger."
"What can be done?" Sima You Yue asked.
"Establishing a contract." Old Man Devil said. "His body no longer has life in it, so this is the only way. But because this is so, it carries a risk. If it succeeds, then he can restore himself. But if it fails, then the contact initiator will feel the rebound of the broken contract."
"It's not a life contract that would impact his life, right?" Sima You Yue asked.
"It will not, but it could greatly deteriorate its strength and weaken his powers. As to its extent, there is no way to ascertain." Old Man Devil said. "So we will have to think carefully."
"Sister." Rainbow looked at Sima You Yue, begging her with her eyes.
Sima You Yue looked Halcyon, who was lying on the bed, dying. She said, "Since there is a way, we must try. Master, please help me to set up a protective barrier."
What that protective barrier was, was that it would preserve her life in the event of failure.
"I'll get a Beast Tamer Master to come then." Old Man Devil said.
"It's alright, Master." Sima You Yue walked over and put her hands on Halcyon's head and started to tame him.
These two years with Halcyon allowed them to become friends. She thought that perhaps Halcyon would initiate forming the contract himself, or perhaps he would leave Yi Lin Continent as her friend. She even thought that everyone would go their different ways, but she never thought that it would all happen under such circ.u.mstances as this. Because Halcyon had long lost consciousness, although he had the intentions to resist, because he was weak, he was easily overcome by Sima You Yue. In the process, Halcyon's breathing became more shallow. This made her worried about whether or not she could save him.
"Sister" Rainbow worriedly looked at Sima You Yue. She didn't want to lose Halcyon, but did not want Sima You Yue to be hurt either.
Sima You Yue took a deep breath and looked at Rainbow, a.s.suring her saying, "Don't worry." Then she began to establish the contract.
When the light of the contract formation fell on them, Sima You Yue tried to establish a connection between them. But she realised that without the other party's verbal agreement, forming the contract would never work.
"Halcyon, say it!" Her attention was placed on Halcyon's remaining breath.
"Halcyon, I know you're still here! Answer me!"
"Halcyon, you still have things that you haven't accomplished. I know, you still wish to go up, you still have unsettled things up there. Are you really satisfied just being here?"
"Halcyon, Rainbow is still young and needs protection. Didn't you promise her father you would protect her? If you die now, what is going to happen to her?"
"Listen, Rainbow is crying so terribly, she's calling for you."
"Halcyon, in these two years we got accustomed to your presence. I'm still waiting for you to bring me to sweep away that trash!"
"Halcyon, come back! We all need you"
Sima You Yue pushed aside her own agenda, and dove deep into Halcyon's mind, which was slipping away, hoping to come into contact with his awareness."
"Wu.."
Rainbow flew to land on Halcyon's shoulders, and with a pale expression, looked at Sima You Yue and asked, "My Husband, you're healed so quickly? Will sister be alright?"
"The situation is quite serious." Halcyon looked at Sima You Yue with some heartache, knowing how much danger she was in just now.
He put Sima You Yue on the bed, and turned to look at Old Man Devil
"Why is it that you, my Husband, are okay, but Sister has not yet recovered?" Rainbow could not understand.
Old Man Devil walked over to check Sima You Yue's condition, saying, "Halcyon's injuries are external, and they were healed when the contract was established. But You Yue's injuries were created from the rebound of contract formation. So the contract formation would not heal her injuries."
"What should we do then?"
"The rebound from the contract formation can only be healed with time. We will have to look at her body's ability to recover. If it were an average person, a year would be enough for a complete recovery. Old Man Devil remarked. "This year, she will not be able to train. Let's feed her some medicine for her injuries first."
The news of Sima You Yue's injuries were quickly spread to the Sima Family, and everyone's hearts ached for her, but were also happy for her, as she had established contact with a Sacred Spirit Beast.
When they found out that she would not be able to train for a whole year, they felt a sense of regret. It was presently the best time for her to train and practice, and she would definitely have been able to improve tremendously within a year.
But Sima You Yue left everyone in shock. Didn't they say that she had to be resting in bed for at least a month? How could this rascal be running about after just three days? Wasn't it so that she should not use her divine powers for half a year? How is it that she could start exercising her powers after half a month?
Everyone was shocked beyond words by her strength, even Old Man Devil could not understand. Even when pressed with questions, Sima You Yue told them that perhaps because of her celestial abilities, her body could recover on its own.
Hearing about Sima You Yue's circ.u.mstances, Old Man Devil became solemn. He didn't know if he should be rejoicing or worried. How is it that none of his disciples had a normal body? One had an incomplete soul, one had a Light-Devil body. Both could die at any time. Was he extra lucky, or extremely unlucky?
