Chapter 404 (1/2)

Combined Magic (2)

“Stay right there!” roared Mia. There was more than one person shouting now, the shout included Ye Lanyu, the seventh princess and Second Sister, all who did not want to see Ye Lang slip away like that.

“What now…” Ye Lang stopped. At least he still listened to Ye Lanyu and the seventh princess.

“Sit right there, we haven’t even begun… Sigh, I didn’t expect you both to end the fight before we start!” sighed Ye Lanyu, though her tone was weird. She was still in shock from what just happened.

“Ye Lang, when did you pluck my feathers?” Mia flew to Ye Lang’s side. She had already decided to pester him wherever he went.

“Huh, I did not pluck your feathers…” Ye Lang shook his head, refusing to admit this.

“Stop lying, what I sense will never be wrong! The Winged Race can sense the condition of their own feathers!” Mia was still flying next to Ye Lang, her feet not touching the ground. She floated mid-air.

Mia looked exceptionally beautiful, an ethereal magnificence. She attracted a lot of attention--- including Ye Lang’s!

All Ye Lang wanted to do now was to hide, his face full of guilt. It was too easy to see what he was thinking!

“Tell me!” Mia chased him.

“That net was used to capture nine-headed birds. This net has something to numb your senses, then it tugged at your feathers a bit. It was an accident, I didn’t do it on purpose! It was because of the net!” Ye Lang blamed everything on the net, declaring that it was an accident.

“Accident my ass! I knew you were up to something! You wanted to steal my feathers during the fight, and then call it an ‘accident’, right?” accused Mia.

“Ah, how did you know?” asked Ye Lang, stunned. He was now admitting to his crimes.

“...”

So she was right after all. He was always after her feathers. Sigh, poor Mia…

“...Give them back!”

“No! It was an accident and I picked them up!”

“They’re still mine if you picked them up! Give them back!”

“Ah, I didn’t pick anything up. Did you see me pick anything up?”

“...”

Ye Lang was playing games now, finally settling on a blatant lie. No one saw him anyway, and there was no evidence. He could lie recklessly now!

“You’re a liar!”

“Innocent until proven guilty!” Ye Lang said solemnly as if he believed it.

“...”

In the end, Mia could only accept her terrible fate. She couldn’t convince Ye Lang to return her feathers. She swore she would never like him!

“Little Seven, let’s begin!” Ye Lanyu ignored the bickering and started what they needed to do: fight Second Sister.

This was the first time Ye Lanyu battled her sister, also her first time seeing her sister in action. All her life, she never had the opportunity to watch her second sister or eldest brother use their abilities because they spent very little time together and there was no occasion to.
