Chapter 247: Chapter 203: Not Afraid of Death, So Why Fear Life?

The scene blurred before their eyes, and Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong had already returned to the ancient city’s “outer space.”

In the central area of the city, a whole block of ice buildings that had shattered into countless fragments in the inner space was still intact in the outer space.

However, unlike in the inner space, these buildings in the outer space were constructed of normal, hard blue stones.

At the same time, everyone in the ancient city vaguely felt that some change had occurred in the secret realm, though they did not know exactly what it was.

The Ten Thousand Transformation Xuan Ice had already been taken, and the challenge of the Twelve-pointed Snowflake would no longer lead to the inner space.

But other than that, there was not much of an impact on the whole of the Snow Burial Plain Secret Realm.

The Winter Snow Ancient City could still produce Blue Summon Cards, and in the short term, it would surely attract more people.

Who knows if the surrounding forces like the Black Snow Country and the Black Wind Domain would take any action?

Su Yuan took out the [Sky Lock] that Luo Bingtong had just given him.

“Space-related control skill!” A trace of heat appeared in Su Yuan’s eyes as he looked at Luo Bingtong beside him, “To bring out something like this, truly a little rich girl…”

Su Yuan couldn’t help but think back to the time during the special recruitment exam, the extremely handsome youth who had brought Luo Bingtong.

Even the academy director, Tan Songlin, had treated him with utmost respect, addressing him as “Master Kong.” He must be some big shot in the Demon Capital.

Su Yuan examined the [Sky Lock] in his hand.

Although he didn’t want to rely on others, the allure of space-related skills was too great…

Moreover, for now, the effect of the Elemental Magnetism Pressure was not as good as before.

It was alright for dealing with ordinary small fry, but for elites like Sino, it could only have a slight “delaying” effect at critical moments.

If he were an Earth Element Star Card Master, he might have talents and Star Devices that enhanced Earth Element control skills, but his talent didn’t amplify the Elemental Magnetism Pressure.

“Alright, I really need this card.

I’ll accept it…

as payment for helping you this time.”

Su Yuan coughed twice.

After all, he had just helped Luo Bingtong.

Taking a Blue Star Card shouldn’t be too much, right?

It wouldn’t count as freeloading, right?

Of course, he hadn’t initially thought of asking for any reward from her…

“Mm!”

Luo Bingtong’s eyes lit up slightly, seemingly very happy.

This card was originally for Su Yuan, anyway.

No matter what, it was good that he accepted it.

Counting the [Void Splitting Monument Hand] and the [Frost Giant Dragon (Summon Card)] he had just embedded, Su Yuan had used 2 of his 5 ordinary skill slots, leaving 3 left.

Su Yuan didn’t think much of it, prompting him to embed the [Sky Lock] right there.

After that, it was points, points, points…!

With a large amount of Star Dust, the [Sky Lock], as a prestigious blue space-related Star Card, skipped the entry-level and skilled level, growing directly to the Transformation Realm…

All kinds of mysteries about the Sky Lock flooded Su Yuan’s mind.

In just a moment, Su Yuan fully mastered the ability of the Sky Lock.

The extraordinary effect made Su Yuan feel even more joyous!

However, now wasn’t the time for testing.

Su Yuan suppressed his excitement and restless feelings, took out the Communication Talisman given by Situ Qingyin, and sent a message.

“Hopefully, nothing happened…”

Su Yuan felt a bit uneasy.

After all, they had stayed in the “inner space” for so long without contact.

Who knew if Situ Qingyin had run into any trouble alone?

Luckily, soon after Su Yuan sent his message, Situ Qingyin responded…

…

Half a day later, somewhere in the city, Su Yuan reunited with Luo Bingtong and Situ Qingyin.

“Su Yuan!

This is…

Bingtong?”

Though they had met only once, with Situ Qingyin’s memory, she quickly recalled this white-haired girl and her name.

With some surprise, Situ Qingyin smiled: “Bingtong is here too?

Quite a twist of fate.”

Meeting in a foreign secret realm thousands of miles away indeed felt like fate.

“Qingyin…

ƝονǤο.ᴄᴑ

Sister.”

“Hm?” Situ Qingyin looked at Luo Bingtong, greatly astonished, “You can talk now?”

Luo Bingtong nodded: “Mm.”

Su Yuan interjected: “She just started speaking a few months ago.”

It was kind of a secret that Luo Bingtong was a Star Beast.

Explaining it would be a hassle, so Su Yuan didn’t elaborate.

Situ Qingyin, being very intelligent, didn’t press further.

She smiled and said, “No matter what, it’s good news!”

After the greetings, Situ Qingyin sighed: “These days, I’ve passed a few Ten-pointed Snowflake challenges.

Though I obtained two precious third-level materials, there’s still no Snow Crystal Stone…”

Su Yuan wasn’t surprised that this “Great Flame Coin Warrior” managed to pass the Ten-pointed Snowflake challenges.

With a flash in his hand, he produced a large piece of snow-white ice crystal-like stone.

“What do you think of this?”

Situ Qingyin was initially taken aback, then overjoyed: “Snow Crystal Stone?

It’s really Snow Crystal Stone!

You actually found it!”

Situ Qingyin took the Snow Crystal Stone from Su Yuan’s hand, inspecting it constantly, her face filled with intense joy and excitement, her eyes even slightly reddened.

Such a strong reaction surprised Su Yuan.

After all, it was just a blue Star Artifact at most, right?

Moreover, Situ Qingyin didn’t seem to be an Ice Element Star Card Master herself.

Could it be that this Star Artifact was meant for someone important?

“Sorry, I got a bit too excited…”

After a while, Situ Qingyin calmed down and carefully stored the Snow Crystal Stone in her ring.

She looked at Su Yuan, genuinely grateful: “Thank you, Su Yuan.

Without you, I might never have gotten the Snow Crystal Stone this time.”

Su Yuan shook his head slightly: “I promised you, I was just doing what I was supposed to do.

I didn’t expect the Snow Crystal Stone to be so important to you?”

“It is very important.” Situ Qingyin nodded, contemplating for a moment before explaining, “Actually, this Ice Star Artifact I need to craft is for my parents.”

Su Yuan was taken aback.

For her parents?

So, his previous guess was wrong, and Situ Qingyin’s parents were still alive?

“Sorry, I always thought…”

“No worries.” Situ Qingyin smiled, shaking her head, “Though they’re alive, they’ve been in a ‘half-dead’ state for years, never waking up.”

From a young age, Situ Qingyin had lived with her grandfather, Situ Bai.

All these years, she had no one to confide in.

But now, facing Su Yuan, Situ Qingyin slowly recounted this story for the first time…

As it turned out, Situ Qingyin’s father, Situ Hao, was once a renowned Refining Master in the Great Flame Country.

Situ Hao’s artifact refining style was unique and spontaneous.

Despite his young age, his refining skills were already on par with the older generation’s Refining Masters like Situ Bai.

Situ Hao had crafted two pseudo-legendary Star Devices and was even hailed in the refining world as the “most promising candidate to craft a legendary Star Device in thirty years!”

But on one artifact refining convention trip, Situ Hao’s family was ambushed by foreign enemies.

Those attackers were extremely powerful and unidentified.

The guardians accompanying the Situ family were quite strong, with the highest being a Burning Sun Level expert.

Yet even so, they couldn’t withstand the ambushers.

Situ Hao and his wife sustained severe injuries protecting the young Situ Qingyin.

Later, Yang Yi arrived in time, saving the young Situ Qingyin and the critically injured and unconscious Situ Hao and his wife.

As for the attackers, they seemed to be death warriors, coming with a determination to die.

Seeing that they couldn’t defeat Yang Yi, they swallowed a Bone Corrosion Pill, dissolving their bodies within moments, leaving no trace behind…

This was the ordeal Situ Qingyin had mentioned before.

Since then, though Situ Hao and his wife survived their fatal injuries, they had never awakened.

For years, Situ Bai had exhausted efforts to maintain the lives and awaken Situ Qingyin’s parents.

Although Situ Qingyin had high Star Power talent, she was determined to become an outstanding Artifact Refiner.

Besides following in her father and grandfather’s footsteps, her main goal was to help awaken her parents.

Now, Situ Qingyin had gained the ability to craft Blue Star Artifacts.

This year, she could finally take over some responsibilities from Situ Bai!

The Snow Crystal Stone was a superior primary material needed to craft a Star Device that could significantly slow down the metabolic rate.

This was Situ Qingyin’s first Star Device crafted for her parents and the beginning of her efforts to awaken them!

That’s why she valued this first time so immensely.

As Situ Qingyin finished her story, her eyes started to shimmer with tears.

Clearly, recounting the past had evoked old memories.

After a moment of contemplation, Su Yuan patted her shoulder and encouraged her with a smile:

“Now that you have the Snow Crystal Stone, once the Star Device is crafted, your parents will feel your heart and efforts.

They will surely strive to wake up and see their grown-up daughter.”

“Will they…?”

“They will!”

Su Yuan smiled: “I think, after all these years, even the thought of ‘resurrection’ might not hold much allure for them.

But the desire to ‘see you’ will drive them to overcome all obstacles.

After all, you are the daughter they protected with their lives.

If they weren’t afraid to die, why would they fear living?”

Not afraid to die, so why fear living?

This statement was like a ray of light shining into Situ Qingyin’s heart.

Her eyes gradually brightened, becoming even more fervent and radiant than before!

“Thank you, Su Yuan!” Situ Qingyin wiped away the tears, her beautiful face lighting up with a blossoming smile, “I will do my best!”

“Great, good luck!”

Su Yuan smiled and nodded, his thoughts drifting to his own parents.

He recalled the day he awakened his Soul Card, how his mother cried tears of joy, and his father’s proud embrace…

The matter with Ji Ping had already affected Su Yuan, but hearing Situ Qingyin’s story deepened his sense of familial bonds.

The past life was a memory, but this life demanded attention.

He had not had the chance to go home since entering the academy a year ago.

His parents, not wanting to disturb his studies and cultivation, rarely called, typically only once every two or three weeks.

Indeed, Su Yuan was very busy with his training, striving for the pinnacle of being a Star Card Master, constantly competing against himself and others.

But no matter how busy, he should always visit home.

“This time after returning to the country, I’ll ask Bingtong to deliver the Snow God Lotus to the teacher, and then I’ll go home…”

Having decided, Su Yuan looked at the two girls before him: “Given everything, let’s head back then.”

“Alright!”

“Mm!”
