Chapter 325: Ghost Peak

Wu Na woke up, grabbed Ye Cang by the neck and shook him, “Why didn’t you tell me! Why!!”

“Umm, to test the flavor without wine. And it would make everyone more appreciative…” Ye Cang said. Everyone felt like Wu Na was going to strangle him to death.

As everyone stepped foot on Ghost Peak, they felt a chill which became increasingly strong. Although part of it was due to their altitude, mostly it was due to a strange chill in the air. In the fog, a familiar creaking and groaning could be heard. SpyingBlade pulled out his longsword. “Skeletons…”

Everyone prepared for battle. They watched as the figures in the fog came closer and closer. They also became clearer. With unsteady steps, rattling bones and armors, one skeleton after the other charged at the group with weapons in hand. Little Ye Tian directly cast a Chain Heal, shooting at three of them. They burned into green smoke which mixed with the fog. Ye Cang was even more direct. A Light Strike Array was already prepared. A large scale flaming light erupted from the ground, momentarily dispersing the fog. Tens of skeletons struggled in the flames. Everyone cleaned up the stragglers. Little Ye Tian looked at a nearby broken stone. Wiping it clean, she saw that there were words written on it. “This should be part of the ruins we’re looking for. Shrine to the hunter goddess…”

“The crazy woman has probably run into some trouble, otherwise she wouldn’t have asked me to go back. Let’s finish this quickly…” Ye Cang said indifferently. To him, ThornyRose was different from Wu Na. With Nana, he had a sort of indescribably friendship, which he treasured. Towards ThornyRose who dared to love and hate, and was a bit like a wild boar, he felt somewhat envious. Although it was different from friendship, he still knew to treasure the feelings between people. At least, he couldn’t completely become a machine.

“Crazy woman?” Wu Na didn’t really understand. FrozenCloud was surprised, “You don’t know that he’s talking about guild leader ThornyRose?

“Guild leader ThornyRose from my Thorns and Roses?” Wu Na asked doubtfully.

“Mm. At Really New Village, Team Leader and Sister Rose teamed up to do instances. Team Leader is even Rose’s fiance…” FrozenCloud gossiped.

“Fiancee!!” Wu Na’s voice raised by 200 hertz.

“I’m just helping her out. It’s sort of like in Sisters with the fake boyfriend…” Ye Cang said indifferently.

“Episode 36!” Little Ye Tian and Lin Le interrupted.

“Such an important matter, and you actually didn’t tell me!!” Wu Na raved.

“It’s not something important. I’m just helping her out. However, aunt and uncle Qin are good people. Lele and A’Xiong are both learning martial arts there.” Ye Cang said, his expression still unperturbed.

“Mm, big sister is really good to me. She gave me 5% of the company share.” Little Ye Tian thrust the figurative dagger further in her heart.

“Grandpa Qin even brought me to eat his childhood ice cream. It’s the old fashioned handmade type. It’s so good…” Lin Le said with a smiling expression.

Wu Na heart felt unwell. They were already treating him as son-in-law, how was she supposed to compete? An involuntary tear began to form in her eyes.

Ye Cang faintly smiled. He reached out, and pat her head. “There’s really nothing between me and her. Of course, I don’t know about the future, but at least not now…” He added in his heart, “Nana, I know you like me, but Nana, I… am not good enough for you. Emotionally, regarding the emotions between man and woman, I know how it should be, but after QinXue died, all I can feel are joy, friendship, and despair.”

“Really… Bah, it’s none of my business, damn Ye Cang…” Wu Na sighed in relief. At least she had a chance! It won’t be so easy for you to get that stinking guy, I’ve already been with him for two years.

Wu Na was very afraid of losing Ye Cang. Although she wouldn’t admit it, Ye Cang was her moral support and reason to live. When she was alone, that white silhouette had reached out to her. It was the same when she was on the verge of death. They had been together for two years. He had encouraged her to start her band, he had even saved her when she was kidnapped. Even though Ye Cang had been covered in blood and looked malevolent, but that concerned smile and those word ‘It’s ok now, Nana’ made Wu Na unable to leave him. Even if, in the end, the one he loved wasn’t her, she wanted to always be by his side, loving him, because Wu Na knew, that underneath his indifferent, he was someone who could spot her in a crowd, pat her head, and take her away. He wouldn’t abandon her no matter what. He was her safe harbor.
