Chapter 115 - I Will Make It Work! (2/2)
Krune as a little lost.
”If your fur was looking so bad, then why did Bary say it was beautiful? Could it be that he likes dirty furs?”
Mile burst out in laughter after hearing that.
”You really have an interesting way of thinking. Anyway, that wasn't that reason, he didn't like dirty furs. After that, Bary gathered outside of the den with his companions who gathered the spoils. They had already started to fly away when I walked outside.”
”Before he could leave the range of my Divine Sense, I sent him a message asking what the real reason was to save me. He stopped for a bit and told the others to go ahead without him. He then turned back asked. 'Didn't I tell you the reason already?' He said. I got a little angry and told him. 'I don't believe you! Can't you see the state I am at the moment? What beautiful fur can you see here?'”
”Bary then showed a puzzled expression and told me. 'It looks very nice to me, though. It's as white as snow, very beautiful'. I finally lost my patience. I turned my head around and was just about to show Bary how horrible it looked like when suddenly, my mind went blank. The fur that was supposed to be filthy, full of scars, and bloodied, really looked as white as snow now.”
”It turned out that Bary had used an incantation back in the lion's den to clean my body too after he finished healing it. Later on, I found out that it was an effortless skill to learn, anyone who went outside the danger zone could find it to buy in any skills shop. Of course, I didn't know it at that moment. While I was looking dumbfounded at my cleaned fur, Bary laughed behind me and said once more. 'See? It's very beautiful, right?'”
Mile's face seemed somewhat red at that moment.
”I didn't know what to do, much less what to answer. Bary then turned around and was just about to leave when I asked him to wait. He asked if there was something else I wanted, but I still didn't know what to say. Should I thank him? Will he even accept the gratitude of a nine-tailed vixen? All I could say is that I didn't want it to be over like that. So I gritted my teeth and told him to bring me together.”
Mile laughed once more.
”Can you believe that? First of all, what if it was all part of his plan to fool me? But then I noticed that it was unlikely to be the case. He was already in the middle stages of the Core Formation Realm at that moment. What good would be there for him to fool me when he could simply knock me out and bring me with him wherever he wanted?”
”Even I didn't know why I asked such an idiot thing. Why would someone even bother to bring a hated vixen demon beast around? It made no sense! After thinking to that point, I decided to forget what I said and just leave. But it was then that he said 'Okay.'.”
”My body froze at that moment! But before I could even process what was happening, Bary enveloped my body with his spiritual energy and started to fly back to the city. He then began to tell me the rules in the country for demon beasts that haven't got a human body yet. That I would be the mercenary guild's responsibility and that I couldn't make an ID yet.”
”Of course, all that information was entering through one ear and leaving through the other. I couldn't care less about that at the moment. It turns out that Bary had never cared about race issues. And that's why I told you that he probably wouldn't have done anything even if he found that you were a wisp before. This is also why I won't use wisps energy anymore. I don't want to let him down.”
Krune couldn't help but grow some respect for Bary Casfiu. Krune then thought about something.
”But didn't the mercenary guild complain about him when he brought you back?”
Mile nodded.
”That was to be expected. But because Bary is the son of protector Lian, no one complained too much. Not to mention that Lian was the Guild Head back then.”
Krune finally understood the situation, no wonder Mile trusted Bary so much.
”Are you staying in the guild because you want to pay your debt to him?”
Mile pondered a bit and said.
”Not exactly.”
”Is it because of a blood contract, then?”
Mile looked at Krune as if he was an idiot. How could he not have noticed yet?
”Forget it, the main reason is simply that I love him.”
Krune, of course, didn't notice it before. Only now, he became surprised. He then thought about himself and Feifei, and he couldn't help but ask.
”Do you think that it will work? I mean, the relationship between a demon beast and a cultivator?”
Mile just laughed and said.
”I will make it work!”
That's the good thing about demon beasts, they are straight forward with their feelings just like that.
