Chapter 130: I Witnessed a Miracle!
The girl being chased effortlessly flew up to the treetops. In the next moment, she pointed the thin stick in her hand, summoning several large fireballs that crashed heavily in front of the pursuers.
After the passing crowd calmed the spooked horse, they looked up and realized that the girl they had just caught up with was now nowhere to be seen.
Wen Yun’s mind was a mess.
She had been lost in a time and space turbulence for so long, seeing too many memories that didn’t belong to her. If she hadn’t luckily found this fragment of her own time and space, she might have lost consciousness in the turbulence and become a wandering soul without awareness.
Following that familiar feeling back here, the memories belonging to this body began to return, transforming from a wandering soul into a person.
Those jumbled memories from the time and space turbulence also started to gradually come back.
She never expected that she would end up in the magical world instead of the cultivation world.
Wen Yun still remembered the scene when she had just arrived in the magical world and was taken in by a kind novice magician in a remote town, following her to study magic.
However, her good fortune didn’t last long. Her appearance, with black hair and dark eyes, made her stand out in this world. Her whereabouts were soon reported to the authorities of the Bright Church. In order to avoid causing trouble for the magician, Wen Yun had to flee for her life.
And so, she fled to this jungle.
Right now, the mercenaries and hunters who wanted to capture her for a reward from the Light Church were circling outside the jungle, afraid to pursue her deep into the jungle. They heard that terrifying ogres lived in the dark corners here. They circled around for two days, but finally didn’t dare to follow Wen Yun inside, so they turned back.
Wen Yun, on the other hand, kept moving forward without looking back.
This was a vast and ancient jungle, with trees that have been growing for hundreds of years, twisted and tangled like monsters surrounding her. The leaves on the branches were large and lush, like a dense woven web, blocking out even a ray of sunlight, making the entire jungle dark as night.
As Wen Yun took a step forward, her feet immediately sank into a pile of rotting leaves.
She frowned, conjured a Fireball in her palm for illumination, and saw the forest in front of her. It was just as she remembered, with no proper path, just scattered leaves and wild grass everywhere.
Wen Yun cast a Floating Skill on herself, floating along slowly.
The further she walked, the dimmer the light ahead became, and the temperature inexplicably rose, even affecting the giant trees around her. The branches and leaves gradually withered. As she went deeper, not even a blade of grass grew, the tree branches seemed charred, only the blackened trunks remained.
No one knew that deep inside this jungle, there was a quietly abandoned volcano crater.
No one had ever set foot in this jungle before. If Wen Yun hadn’t been chased and ended up going in the wrong direction, she wouldn’t have come to this deep place.
Wen Yun stopped suddenly.
After spotting the horrifying wreckage ahead, her speed increased drastically as she dove towards the pile of bones.
As she neared, Wen Yun slowed down, carefully walked forward and placed her hand on the broken bones, gently touching the most intact spine before slowly gripping it.
Whether in terms of length, weight, or feel, it seemed tailor-made for her, as if she had been holding it for centuries, already accustomed to every detail.
The familiar sensation as she touched it made Wen Yun’s eyes suddenly moist.
Just then, a fierce roar abruptly interrupted Wen Yun’s reminiscence, accompanied by a golden-red flame!
The dragon-shaped illusion cast on this charred land seemed to envelop Wen Yun’s view like a devil.
"Foolish human, daring to enter the domain of the mighty Fire God Dragon. I’ll count to three, and if you depart, I may spare your life!"
The dark-haired girl smirked, exerting her mental power to deftly extract the spirit hidden in the dragon’s spine.
One tiny dragon spirit suddenly appeared in front of Wen Yun. It was said to be a dragon, but it looked more like a golden-red pig with small wings that looked quite odd.
The piglet dragon was struggling hard to escape, but Wen Yun’s spirit was so powerful at that moment that it easily restrained it, like crushing an ant.
The little fire dragon gritted its teeth and continued to threaten with a childish voice, saying angrily, "How dare you see through my true form, I will devour you…"
Wen Yun opened her mouth, realizing she hadn’t spoken in a long time, almost forgetting what it was like to communicate with others.
So, as soon as she spoke, she said the most familiar phrase —
"I am your master, Wen Yun."
The little fire dragon looked at her with a bewildered expression, "Even gods dare not boast about being my master, and yet you think you are worthy?"
Judging by Wen Yun’s mental strength, she could have easily branded this noisy little fire dragon as her servant, but she hesitated to do so.
She tried hard to search her memory and said, "If you keep staying here, you will slowly drain your energy and completely disappear."
The little dragon bared its teeth, even though it was hurt, it bravely said, "I prefer to wait for death, it’s none of your business!"
Wen Yun thought for a moment, then continued, "With my spiritual power helping you recover, you probably won’t have to wait long before you can freely fly away from this dragon bone and soar into the sky."
The little dragon seemed tempted, but still coldly snorted, "Stop the chatter, just leave already."
Wen Yun calmly looked at it, sighed softly and said, "Since you are so stubborn, I won’t give you those pearls and gems that were prepared for future wand decorations…"
Before she could finish speaking, the little dragon, suppressed by Wen Yun’s spiritual power, suddenly struggled and flew up!
Its golden round eyes seemed to sparkle, and its short, thick tail was trembling with excitement.
The little dragon rubbed its small hands, and pretending to be proud, asked, "If I call you a silly magician… master, would you dare to agree?!"
Even though the term ‘master’ was deliberately ambiguous, it still shouted it out!
Wen Yun was momentarily stunned.
Suddenly funny and annoying.
Indeed, it was her Little Hong, no matter how she reunited with it, it was always so unreliable!
*
The small dragon seemed not very intelligent, but was actually very clear-minded.
The strange girl in front of her looked very young, but her mental power was incredibly strong. Whether she wanted it or not, if the other party used force, she wouldn’t be able to escape…
So, instead of being confrontational, she took advantage of the little girl’s friendly demeanor and the fact that she hadn’t planned to attack yet, and agreed to go along with it.
And most importantly, despite being so young, this girl possessed such terrifying strength. Who knew if she was also a descendant of the gods, just like the dragon?!
What if she was the daughter of some God of Light or God of Darkness, sent to the Magic World for training? As her father, why not give her some precious treasures to carry with her? So, following her would definitely bring benefits!
Unfortunately, the Dragon race is quite materialistic in nature.
It wasn’t until the little dragon truly became Wen Yun’s wand spirit that it sensed something was wrong.
Not to mention the legendary treasures bestowed by various gods, even the "pearl gems" that Wen Yun had promised before were nowhere to be seen. Even her previous magic wand was just a random piece of magic wood she casually picked up in the jungle. It couldn’t get any more humble than that!
Instead of enjoying the imagined luxurious life in a castle overflowing with all sorts of gems, it ended up accompanying Wen Yun to explore the desolate and uninhabited jungle every day.
Well, to be precise, occasionally she would wander around the wilderness and marshes outside the jungle, but it made no difference. No castle, no gems, not even a single soul in sight.
After the little dragon signed the Master-servant Contract with Wen Yun, its almost fading spirit unexpectedly became more solid. At that moment, it was flying above Wen Yun’s head, flapping its wings and grumbling.
"Aren’t magicians supposed to be rich? Why don’t you even have money to buy bread and roast goose?"
Ignoring the dragon, Wen Yun concentrated on the gray goose circling above the marsh in front of them. She held a small pebble in her hand, then with a flick of her wrist, she hurled it towards the bird!
"Are you crazy? You’re a magician, not an archer. Using stones instead of magic to hit the mark is really… huh?" The dragon’s voice suddenly rose sharply as it stared blankly ahead, dumbfounded.
With a loud splash, the gray goose seemed to have its wings severed and swiftly plummeted into the water.
The little dragon wagged its tail rapidly. It is well known that wizards have weak bodies, almost fragile, except when using magic. Wen Yun, however, is oddly accurate.
Even a knight specializing in archery isn’t this strong, right?
Could it be that Wen Yun is truly descended from the gods?!
The little dragon speculated wildly about Wen Yun’s identity, then swiftly flew over to retrieve the gray goose.
Wen Yun took the gray goose, skillfully plucked and cleaned it, then started roasting it over the flame on the tail of the little dragon. She even found suitable spices from the surrounding wild herbs, leaving the little dragon stunned by her fancy actions.
The aroma quickly wafted out. This scent, different from magic world roasting, was much richer, almost making the dragon drool.
Even as a spirit, the little dragon stubbornly opened its mouth, hinting for its master to feed it.
"Yum, as an innocent and pitiful little dragon, of noble and pure bloodline, it’s quite sad that I’ve never tasted roast bird before."
"Alright, I understand," Wen Yun casually tossed the roast bird, which the little dragon immediately caught and gulped down.
She took a bird leg and ate it little by little, looking down at the calm water.
The water reflected a young and tender face.
The girl had long black hair, slightly unhealthy pale skin, bright black eyes, a bit of baby fat on her cheeks, but already had a stunning look.
Almost perfectly matched the image of the "tempting fallen witch" in The Church of Light.
Wen Yun used her index finger to stir the water, shattering the reflection instantly. The blurred image now resembled her appearance later on.
The little fire dragon next to her finished eating the roasted bird, lying contentedly at Wen Yun’s feet. It was about to discuss hunting another wild goose with her when it noticed the girl had taken off her robe, rolled up her sleeves and pant legs, and started digging mud by the water’s edge.
The little fire dragon stared in amazement, "Aren’t magicians supposed to be elegant and fancy? Why are you so rough?"
Wen Yun thought to herself, having spent nearly a hundred years with those unrefined sword cultivators, how could she not be a bit rough?
She threw the mud onto the bank and pushed it towards the little fire dragon, "Come, breathe fire and turn it into bricks. I’m going to build a Wizard Tower here."
The baby dragon wondered if there was something wrong with its ears, using fire to burn bricks? Is this wizard crazy?
However, Wen Yun looked at it with a reassuring "I believe in you" gaze, still wearing a kind and gentle smile on her face, making the baby dragon feel uneasy.
It tried to breathe fire onto the mud.
Wen Yun beside it said, "That’s right, you really haven’t disappointed my expectations. You truly are the Fire God Dragon. I knew only you could handle such an important task."
The innocent baby dragon was so pleased by these words, it immediately raised its tail proudly and said, "Is that all? I can breathe even stronger fire!"
Then, another blast of fire spewed out, earning Wen Yun a free boast.
After deceiving the baby dragon into working as a laborer, a tall Wizard Tower quietly stood in the deserted wilderness the next day.
Exhausted, the baby dragon flapped its wings and wondered, "Are you, this silly wizard, really planning to settle in this middle of nowhere?"
Wen Yun replied, "Yes."
The baby dragon felt a bit worried, "You won’t stay in the tower for several years like the old guys, right?"
It was still hoping that Wen Yun would take it on an adventure someday.
Luckily, Wen Yun shook her head, "Of course it won’t be for years."
The baby dragon felt relieved.
However, Wen Yun’s next words almost made it faint on the spot –
"I will stay here for five hundred years."
*
What can you do in five hundred years?
In the magical world, you can’t train in source power, but you can still train in swordsmanship, and more importantly… perfect your spatial magic.
At first, what Wen Yun and her friends lacked the most was actually time.
If they had another thousand years to cultivate, the three senior brothers would have definitely ascended. By then, Cloud Sea City might not be inferior to Dongxuan Sect, and with Wen Yun and Ye Shubai joining forces, they might even be able to confront Supreme Immortal Shangxuan.
However, reality was cruel. Supreme Immortal Shangxuan was not a fool and would not allow two talents to grow unchecked until they threatened him.
Now, Wen Yun had obtained five hundred years. In her past life, she spent most of those five hundred years on the run, wasting a lot of time for cultivation.
In this life, her spiritual power had already reached the realm of ascension. Not to mention The Church of Light, even if the entire Magic World came to attack her, they would probably be killed in return.
From today on, she would stay here as the Dark Mage King, unafraid of anyone!
So in the eyes of the little fire dragon, the mage in the tower seemed crazy.
She would practice strange combat skills before dawn, and at night, she would study magic in the jungle. Except for eating and drinking, she replaced sleep with meditation.
The little fire dragon didn’t want to practice with her. When its body recovered, it started flying out slowly to play. Sometimes it went to the nearest town, sometimes to the distant royal city, and when it was in a good mood, it would even spy on the two old men, the Pope of Light and the Pope of Darkness.
Just walking by the river will get your paws wet.
Charmander went to the roof of The Church of Light a few times to mess with the glass tiles, which finally caught the attention of the Archbishop in red robes.
Wen Yun, who was practicing swordsmanship, heard Charmander’s screams from far away. When she looked closer, she saw two mages from The Church of Light following him.
Charmander was running away while threatening the people behind him–
"My master is a deity!"
"If you chase me today, tomorrow you will face divine punishment!"
The two Light mages also saw the golden-red Wizard Tower ahead and the figure in a black magic robe below it. However, they remained indifferent.
If there are truly gods in this world, they should be within The Church of Light; how could they appear in such a deserted place?
Wen Yun, "…"
Charmander, this guy always loves to brag no matter which life it is, can you not bring her into your boasting?
But there’s no choice, the exaggeration that the wand spirit blows out, the owner has to help it pretend even at the risk of their life.
Wen Yun gently waved at Charmander, using the law of space to cover it together with the Wizard Tower.
Amidst the heavens and earth, a very mysterious breath flashed by.
The two mages from The Church of Light shook hands at the same time, almost causing the wand to fall.
"It’s gone!…"
Whether it’s the Wizard Tower, the black-robed wizard with the strange wooden sword, or the dragon, in the blink of an eye, they swiftly disappeared from the two people’s sight.
"Is this a forbidden curse that only gods can control?" One of the mages took a deep breath, eyes full of disbelief, "My goodness, I actually witnessed a miracle!"
His expression gradually became fanatical, "So, there really are gods in this world!"
