Maybe My Soulmate! (GL)

Chapter 83: Chapter 83 - A Sword Hilt? Another Cave??

As Mo Yuxin was lost in her thoughts, Su Yubing had already taken her to a safe distance and now the back of the woman was facing opposite her and her clear yet deep eyes came into her view.

The feelings they shared just a few hours ago still resides in Mo Yuxin's heart and will always stay there only ever growing.

As Su Yubing turned towards Mo Yuxin and saw her being a little out of focus as if her mind wasn't present. She called her softly and her voice brought Mo Yuxin back to the present and her cold white fingers caressing her cheeks made her feel again and again that the comb was now placed in her hands.

"Are you okay?" Su Yubing's soft voice instantly woke Mo Yuxin up from her thoughts as her mind came back to present and she responded to the woman infront of her in the same gentle voice full of tenderness,

"Yes. I was just thinking about the comb." Mo Yuxin didn't want to hide anything about what her feelings were or what she was thinking from this beautiful woman infront of her and Su Yubing probably already had a vague guess as to what her internal thoughts were.

Su Yubing seemed a little surprised at first then as if confirming her thoughts, the ends of her lips were raised slightly upwards and a slight smile bloomed on her usually cold face but she didn't say anything more to Mo Yuxin but that smile was enough to give Mo Yuxin a sense of security that she needed.

After all, suddenly getting such a heartfelt sincerity and burning feeling of trust and something more from Su Yubing made Mo Yuxin a little scared and insecure even though her heart knew and felt Su Yubing's sincerity.

But right now that simple smile was enough to give her a sense of reality as the slight insecurity also disappeared with it.

Now Mo Yuxin just held Su Yubing's hand with a little more tenderness as their interlocked fingers kept caressing the back of their hands unconsciously.

Just as they were immersed in their world of two, a particularly large sound of a large rock falling on the ground sounded.

"Thud... Crack!!."

The sound brought the two Women's attention towards the gap on the wall of the cave and they both were a little surprised by what they saw.

Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing both saw that the small crack had grown to a large size as most of the rocks on the wall were blown apart by Su Yubing's punch and now laying around on the ground.

But what surprised them actually was that there was a dark tunnel in the place of the crack and the tunnel actually started quite a few inches deep inside the rocks on the surface of the wall.

If it weren't for the huge explosion thanks to the confrontation between Mo Yuxin's sword move and the heavenly thunder, there was probably no way they could've imagines that there was actually a tunnel deep inside the wall of this dim cave!

Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing both looked at each other as they had the same thought at the moment. To check what lies beyond this tunnel.

And so they stepped towards the tunnel and first tried inspecting on the outside to see if there were any dangerous elements hidden there but found nothing.

So Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing both with hands on each other's hands, went towards the tunnel and entered the darkness but the moment they stepped onto the tunnel path, in an instant, reddist flames quickly filled the surroundings.

It seems that there were fire qilins placed on the walls of this tunnel to illuminate the path ahead.

Originally, Mo Yuxin didn't have much hope from the crack in the cave wall but now it seems that it's not that simple.

As they walked along the passage in the tunnel, they don't know how long has passed but the tunnel seemed truly long as if it was going in circles and for a moment Mo Yuxin even thought of there were trapped inside of any formation unknowingly but quickly ruled that thought out as she didn't feel any fluctuations of spiritual energy.

As they kept walking, the vision infront of them finally became wide and Mo Yuxin realised that they had reached the end and this place was actually like another small cave.

As they walked into this small cave, the surroundings also lit up with small fire qilins placed on the side of the wall and the whole cave became illuminated with light allowing them to see what is present in the small cave.

Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing saw that this cave was actually surrounded by black stone walls, which was not particularly large but the size of an ordinary bedroom and the stone cave was pretty much empty, as if no one has ever entered here.

Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing both were a little disappointed as what they imagined of finding a treasure didn't happen and couldn't help but feel more disappointed as the looked around the cave.

To be honest, now that they actually paid more attention to the cave, it seemed more like it was made artificially as the vague sword marks on the black stone walls which has mostly corroded with the passage of time was enough to prove that someone actually lived there.

But whoever lives here was definitely an extremely powerful person as the slightly chilly aura still present proves that whoever lived here was definitely an immortal existence above the harmony stage.

The slightly visible sword marks which hasn't yet been corroded with the passage of time still has a deathly aura and if you look carefully at those sword marks, it seems as if an ancient beast is staring right back at you and the oppression feels truly overbearing.

Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing both looked into each other's eyes and they both knew that they had the same thoughts.

"It seems that whoever lived here was definitely a powerful existence over the harmony stage at least. Though I don't know why they lived in such a cave." Mo Yuxin said.

"Umm.. I think at that time, this body refining pool must've also just been at the stage of forming and whoever it was accidentally found it and decided to set up a cave connecting to the actual cave.

Though maybe they intended to live in seclusion and wait for the refining pool to be formed?" Su Yubing presented her idea which was definitely reasonable but Mo Yuxin always felt that there was something more to the story.

But dwelling on it is of no use towards them as probably a million years has passed since the time that immortal was alive and living in this cave.

Thus Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing didn't bother with whatever story this cave had and were about to go out but Mo Yuxin's hand holding Su Yubing felt a little heavy as she looked back and saw Su Yubing staring at certain place on the side of the back stone wall.

Seemingly understanding something, Mo Yuxin asked Su Yubing softly,

"Did you find something? "

"Probably. I felt a small ray of light being reflected from the side of that fire qilin on the side of the wall." Su Yubing replied.

At her words, Mo Yuxin also looked towards the place Su Yubing pointed and sure enough, a small ray of light was getting reflected from time to time as if a small mirror was placed on the wall and the light from the fire qilin gets reflected on the mirror.

Suddenly feeling a little excited at their discovery, Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing both nodded at each other and came towards the fire qilin.

As they came close to the side of the wall and carefully looked at the place where light was being reflected, they saw that a very small shiny piece of metal was embedded on the black wall.

But the both felt that it wasn't just a small shiny piece of metal and Mo Yuxin simply conjured up a sword blade made of spiritual power and directly it towards the place on the wall.

Just as the sword blade came into contact with the wall, it exploded with small bang and the more of the shiny piece of metal was now visible to Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing.

They both looked towards the place carefully and saw that a long sword hilt was now exposed on the black stone wall.

Mo Yuxin and Su Yubing both looked at each other and said at the same time,

"It's a sword!

Seeing that they finally found something in the stone cave, They were a little excited as Mo Yuxin put her hands on the hilt of the sword and tried pulling it but it actually didn't come out!

Even when her physical strength was as strong as that of a nascent soul Cultivator, she actually couldn't pull it out from this seemingly normal black stone wall.

Suddenly when she was about to think of a solution, a slender arms beside her stretched out and held the sword hilt with her snow white fingers, the sword hilt which Mo Yuxin couldn't pull out was actually pulled out by Su Yubing with just a simple tug!
