《You, Me》Chapter 18

Wang Xiaomi whispers to her servant, “We should take this opportunity to leave. I checked everywhere and I see no sign of my sister. I am sure she is not here.” She wanted to use this time to sneak off, but due to her extravagance outfit, it is quite hard to avoid everyone’s gaze as everyone still looks her way.
The competition continues and seem like it is a set up. Everyone wanted to spar with Lan Shuixin but during his absence, Lan Hongxin spar in his place instead stating no one is qualify to go head to head with his brother and they shouldn’t embarrass themselves. When Lan Shuixin and Wan Qinxiu got back, they found him sparring with many sect disciples even Li Jinchen, Kunlun Sect young master of Li Mugui. Wan Qinxiu found it odd that that is a friendly competition but yet everyone seem to be targeting Heaven Realm. Seem like someone is messing with the heads of the crowd fanning the flame toward Heaven Realm.
Fourth Prince was outnumbered, but he still kept his ground with exhaustion. They kept coming one after another not allowing him to rest. Wan Qinxiu explain the situation to Lan Shuixin. Lan Shuixin just nods his head as he figured the situation. The sect masters came before Lan Shuixin and Wan Qinxiu and greeted. Hua Jing chuckles, “Seems like the youngsters wanted a few pointers from you Prince Lan Shuixin. Please forgive them for their rudeness.”
Ermei Sect Headmaster Mei Shaohui smirks, “But my Ermei Sect has nothing to do with this. We do not want to entangle ourselves with men especially when competing. We dare not gang up on an individual.” She made it seem like she is just before everyone’s eyes but people whom knew her temper knew that she was waiting for the chance to humiliate other sects for pride.

Li Mugui, headmaster from Kunlun Sect, added, “We’ve witnessed the power of Physician Wan before and dare not to upset him.” He turn around and walks off with his head held high cursing them beneath his breath, ‘Hope you all die soon!’
Suddenly a loud beasts roar can be heard from hundreds of miles away in that moment as the ground shakes uncontrollably. Fourth prince descend from the arena to stand beside Lan Shuixin in defense. Wan Qinxiu pulls Wang Xiaomi close to him and said to Mo Qingfeng, “Brother Mo, I put Miss Wang’s and Lan Shuixin’s life in your hands. Please take care of their safety this cannot delay. The matter is becoming serious. Take her servant with you as well!” He urges him to leave as soon as possible.
All sects dispersed immediately leaving Tao Sect alone as that is their territories and have no other places to go. Miss Wang’s servant shook, “I will go along with you. Mr. Mo I will have to trouble you to take care of my miss.” ‘Hmph, I really want to see what is going on… obviously this is my beast that’s calling for me. I thought I’ve lost him who knew he came calling for me.’
Wan Qinxiu said to Lan Shuixin, “Brother Lan please take care.” With not another word, he disappear into thin air not even Xiaomi’s servant have a clue where he went. Brother Lan turn to Fourth Prince, “Fourth Brother I will leave Miss Wang in your care please protect Qingyun Sect until I return.” With that, he casted a spell and also disappear into thin air leaving no trace left behind. On the other hand, Wang Xiaomi’s servant also went missing but there was no time left, they all left back to Mt. Qingyun forcing Xiaomi to go with them. Mo Qingfeng and fourth prince did not let her leave their sight. They even pull Mo Qingyan to keep an eye on her when she needs to use the latrine or so.

In the East Sea, the dragon beast roar loudly as if calling for its owner to set him free. Stood on the cliff was Wan Qinxiu. Suddenly appearing next to him was Lan Shuixin. He was surprised, “How’d you caught up with me?” Lan Shuixin smirks, “Not telling… it’s your scent,” he jokes then turn serious, “We are near the ocean? East Sea… why is there such a terrifying beast sealed here?”
“He was sealed years ago due to his mischievous act almost killed the Demon Prince I heard,” he sigh answering.
“You seem to know a lot about the Dark Realm,” he replied.
Wan Qinxiu did not answer but instead said, “I gathered a lot of information so of course I know a lot. This beast seems to be getting stronger by the day. I am afraid the spell will not hold it any longer. It is best we stay away from this place in case it breaks free.”
Suddenly the dragon roar loudly and a huge white light lightens up the sky and the dragon was finally loose out of the seal. It attacked Lan Shuixin and Wan Qinxiu realizing they were at the cliff. He does not know them but upon freedom he is ready to kill whoever he sees in his path. He was sealed years ago and now he finally can have fun he will not go back into jail. The dragon flies up to the sky and calls forth water and lightning to combine them into a tornado to attack Wan Qinxiu and lan Shuixin. Wan Qinxiu grabs Lan Shuixin’s arms and leap out of the way to avoid the huge blow of the tornado and lightning. Wan Qinxiu casted a spell to block all incoming lightning and attacks in midair and to his surprised, someone came from behind him and give him a deadly huge blow. He spit out blood and slowly fell unconscious and fell down to the ocean.
Lan Shuixin heard something fell over to the bottom of the ocean, “Brother Wan!” Lan Shuixin calls out but there was no reply. Then he realized Wan Qinxiu may got sneak attacked by someone from behind and fell to the bottom of the ocean. The voice grins evilly, “Lan Shuixin, do you see how useless you are?” This voice definitely belongs to Mu Yuhan. Lan Shuixin ignores his embarrassing words and jump into the ocean to look for Wan Qinxiu. He felt so worried. He even worried Wan Qinxiu might just died because of him because he couldn’t see. He pulls off the white blindfold rag and slowly opens his eyes trying his hardest trying to see. He calm himself down and listen carefully where may Wan Qinxiu drifted off to. Suddenly, he felt like he is running out of air and he might just die in the ocean. That is also good too, he thought. So this way I won’t be useless to anyone again. I was not able to save anyone at all let alone myself. He was really sad deep inside. He closes his eyes. He was ready for death to come claim his life and this time he will not run away.

A Novella about magic vs aliens vs science. It's a raucous, campy sci-fi read involving humans gaining magic, a possibly pizza-hating alien empire, the decapitation of the US Federal Government, eldritch abominations, lesbian space witches and some medium-hard science.I wouldn't say it's not serious, but I wouldn't say it's serious. Eh, it's not serious. Wait... it's getting serious.
