Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 81: Unpredictable
Life is unpredictable, and nothing can be changed by the blue sky.

The Blue Enchantress spaceship from Penglai Island was requisitioned to fight in Shanghai, which killed Blue Valley's last chance to escape.

The demons had long discovered the Lan family on Penglai Island and had been eyeing Blue Valley covetously. This time, the various races' conquest of the Demon Capital weakened the defenses of their own cities, giving the demons a great opportunity to launch a counterattack and easily take over the cities.

Penglai Island was inevitably wiped out by the demons, and Blue Valley was no exception. Not a blade of grass grew there, and the demons slaughtered everyone, young and old. Blue Valley was burned down and burned for three days and three nights.

What now appears before Lan Tian is the completely burned Blue Valley. Not a single person from the entire clan escaped; they were all burned to ashes, leaving nothing behind. Lan Tian's parents, clan elders, servants, and relatives were all burned to ashes scattered everywhere. Not a single familiar object remained.

"what……"

The blue sky howled at the sky, for now they are all gone, and he will never see his parents and the clan chief again.

A torrential downpour poured down, pattering against Lan Tian, ​​soaking him completely and drenching the entire Blue Valley. Lan Tian knelt there motionless, letting the rain wash over him, letting the rain from the mountains crash down. The rain cleansed the place, washing away the ashes, washing away Lan Tian's dearest and most respected people, washing away all the memories of Blue Valley's past.

……

Lan Tian had been kneeling here for two days and two nights, like a piece of wood. His feelings for his parents were so deep, his longing for his relatives was so strong, and his attachment to the Lan family was so strong. Such a huge blow, such a heart-wrenching pain, had completely broken his mind.

……

In a daze, in his dream, Lan Tian strangely returned to his childhood, to the happy times he spent with his parents in Gantang Village, to the passion of hunting in the Mossom Mountains, to the ship on which the Blue Enchantress withdrew, to Penglai Island, to Blue Valley, to the lantern festival in the ancient city of Penglai, to that other world, and to see his master from that other world again, as well as Tony Sander and Murong Ziying.

I returned to the island where I first met Yi Mengying, and traces of the past came to mind.

……

Finally, Lan Tian returned to Shanghai and saw Mo Tianxing again. He saw that expression, his arrogance, his contempt for Lan Tian, ​​and his slaughter of various races.

"Hahaha, what can you do to me? I killed your parents and relatives, I kidnapped your Yingying. Come on, kill me! You can't kill me, hahaha, you're just a coward, a coward..."

"I am going to kill you."

Alas, Lan Tian was provoked by Mo Tianxing and woke up to find himself lying on a dilapidated wooden bed. The room was dimly lit, drafty, and rain was dripping from the roof.

Inside the house, there was a fire, and a person was cooking rice porridge over it. She was dressed in tattered clothes, and her hair was disheveled, making it impossible to identify her. When the porridge was ready, she ladled out a bowl and turned to give it to Lan Tian. Suddenly, their eyes met. Lan Tian remembered something—wasn't this the eldest daughter of the Cao family—Cao Yuqing? Even after so many years, Lan Tian recognized her at a glance.

"Oh, you're awake. Have some rice porridge, it's still warm."

After speaking, Cao Yuqing handed Lan Tian a bowl of rice porridge. Lan Tian was very weak, his mouth was dry and his throat was so sore that he couldn't speak. He was indeed very hungry, and his stomach was rumbling. He took the rice porridge from Cao Yuqing and drank it.

It turns out that Penglai Island was massacred by the demons. Cao Yuqing escaped the calamity. After the demons left, the ancient city of Penglai was littered with corpses. Cao Yuqing was afraid to see the scene of her loved ones dying, so she did not want to stay in the city. Unknowingly, she came to Blue Valley, which was also massacred by the demons and burned to the ground. The entire Blue Valley was reduced to ashes. This ruined wall was the only place left to take shelter from the rain.

Cao Yuqing witnessed Lan Tian appear here, standing there motionless for days and nights. He was soaked by heavy rain, but he still knelt there and refused to leave. The rain and sun exhausted him, and he finally collapsed on the ground.

Cao Yuqing couldn't bear to see him like this, so she brought him back here. She fed Lantian rice porridge every day to help him recover. Lantian had nightmares every night, constantly screaming, but Cao Yuqing had grown accustomed to it. She had initially thought he was just dreaming and hadn't paid much attention. Cao Yuqing knew Lantian had suffered a great blow. His entire Lan Valley clan had been wiped out by the demons, and his parents were gone. But she herself had suffered the same fate; her own family had also been decimated in the demon massacre, with countless dead and wounded. Her parents were gone, and her remaining relatives were no longer the force of the Xuri family.

She left Blue Valley because she wanted to escape the place that caused her so much pain. She didn't know what the future held, and the quiet and peaceful atmosphere here suited her state of mind. So she settled down here.

Now that Lan Tian has returned and sees that Lan Gu has been slaughtered by the demons, leaving no one alive, he is filled with despair. The blow is too great, and coupled with his physical exhaustion, he faints immediately.

"Miss Cao, thank you for saving me. I will do my best to repay you. I will do whatever it takes to help you."

"We are both in the same boat, why should we care about gratitude? I don't need your repayment."

"Thank you, you are my savior, that's undeniable, and I will repay you in the future."

"I'll think about the future later. I don't want to think about anything right now. The more I think about it, the sadder I get. My parents are gone. Do I even have a future?"

Lan Tian could see that Cao Yuqing was currently depressed and still grieving the loss of her parents and relatives. How could he not feel the same way? He was still alive, and he had to keep going. He had to avenge the demons.

“Miss Cao, believe me, would you like to leave this place with me, roam the world and explore the land? Don’t worry, you will have plenty of what I have, and I will treat you like my own sister.”

"Are you leaving here?"

"Yes, the outside world is more wonderful and wider. Come with me, Sister Yuqing."

"oh oh."

When Lantian called her "sister," she immediately felt a sense of closeness and belonging to family. Cao Yuqing had nowhere else to go; the Cao family was no longer the same as before, and she had no ties here.

"Okay, I'm afraid of causing you trouble."

"It's alright, you're like my sister. There's no trouble between family members. I will definitely make you happy and give you a joyful life."

“I’ll call you Little Blue Sky, that way I’ll feel closer to you.”

"Okay, sister, what level are you at now?"

"Still fifth rank"

"Okay, just follow me. You don't need to say anything. I'll introduce you to someone later. I'm going to the underwater city now. Wear this properly."

Lan Tian gave Cao Yuqing a breathing device from the time-space ring. She would still need to wear it when going to the underwater city, and she could take it off after entering the city.
