Chapter 95: Changes To The Blood Bandage (2/2)

”You indeed live up to your name,” Ai Hui muttered. Yet, he did not plan to continue wasting his own blood. An average person would have some fear when faced with the strange situations of the Blood Bandage. Ai Hui, however, did not experience any fear; he had seen many situations which were similar to hell. How could he be frightened by a few drops of blood?

He finished his bath and came out of the hot spring. After wiping his body dry, he prepared to bind the Blood Bandage to himself.

When it came into contact with his body, the bandage came to life. Like an agile snake, it wound nimbly around Ai Hui’s body, and in a flash, it was bound properly and was similar to how Ai Hui usually did it. The fit was just right. It did not have the usual bone-chilling feel, but instead, it was warm and soft—extremely comfortable. Ai Hui widened his eyes. Was this the same Blood Bandage?

This is kind of awesome….

He could never have believed his unexpected action to bring about such a pretty good result. He felt that he was quite lucky. It was a complicated process to bind the Blood Bandage, and it usually took Ai Hui quite a long time. Now that the bandage could bind by itself, it saved him a lot of hassle.

After wearing his clothes, he randomly plucked a blade of grass and chewed on it. Walking into the training hall, he saw Lou Lan sitting in the courtyard. He noticed that Lou Lan did not seem to be in a good mood. Ai Hui was puzzled. If sand puppets had personalities, then Lou Lan was definitely an optimistic and happy-go-lucky sand puppet.

”Lou Lan, what happened?”

Ai Hui sat next to Lou Lan.

”Ai Hui, Master Shao left,” Lou Lan said, his head downcast.

Ai Hui paused. ”Master Shao left? Did he go on a journey or did he meet with some mishaps?”

Ai Hui had always been mystified by his neighbor. It was said that one could see an earth elementalist’s character through his sand puppet. However, he could not think of any kind of earth elementalist who would create a sand puppet like Lou Lan.

Ai Hui had encountered many sand puppets. All those sand puppets had shocking war capabilities, but compared to Lou Lan, they were many times more foolish.

”He left on a journey,” Lou Lan said softly. ”He said he has almost reached the end of his life and he wanted to complete something that he has always regretted. Ai Hui, what kind of matters could make Master Shao feel regretful his whole life?”

Ai Hui exhaled in relief. It was fine as long as he hadn’t met with any mishaps. He thought for a while. ”It could be anything; relationships, diplomatic matters…there are important events for each and every one of us.”

”But if that’s the case, then why didn’t he do it then?” Lou Lan said with a face of confusion.

Ai Hui was struck dumb. He did not know how to answer such a profound question. He thought quickly and spread out his arms. ”For example, he had no money!”

”No money?” Lou Lan tilted his head and pondered. ”Yes, Master Shao always used his money on Lou Lan.”

Ai Hui let out a breath. ”Now that Lou Lan has grown up and Master Shao does not need to watch over Lou Lan, he can complete his unfulfilled desires.”

Ai Hui felt as if he was an old creep that was going to kidnap a child.

”But why didn’t Master Shao bring Lou Lan along? Lou Lan could help Master Shao.” Lou Lan looked at Ai Hui with wide eyes.

Ai Hui racked his brain. ”A lot of things should be solved by oneself. Look at my Master and Mistress, can I help in their relationship? I definitely can’t! If Master wants to have a date with Mistress, would he bring me along? Definitely not.”

”Master Shao has gone to find Mistress Shao?” Realization dawned upon Lou Lan. ”I see.”

”It must be!” Ai Hui wondered how many of his brain cells had died; he was starting to believe his own lies. His voice expressed heartfelt emotion as he said, ”Although Master Shao is of a certain age, he still has the right to chase after his happiness. To be able to figure this out at such an old age is not easy. We must give him our blessings!”

Lou Lan nodded. ”Lou Lan also wanted to wish Master Shao.”

Bang! Lou Lan transformed into five words.

”All the best, Master Shao!”

Ai Hui let out a loud laugh.
