Chapter 215 (1/2)
Womanizing Mage, Chapter 215: Returning Journey (part two)
The dusk thickened, Long Yi wandered around somewhat absently on the small path of the mountain behind Holy Magic Academy, and Barbarian Bull was quietly following behind him. They two had just eaten a dinner, and Long Yi had basically wanted to call Ximen Wuhen and Long Ling'er, but they weren't in the dormitory, and he didn't know where they went.
Long Yi was feeling indescribable feeling towards returning to Soaring Dragon City in his heart. The reason why he wanted to return on the instruction of Ximen Nu was because he was looking for more excitement.
When Long Yi was lost in thought, his heart suddenly skipped the beat, and a sharp aura pounced him head-on. After that, Long Yi suddenly stopped, then looked towards the dense forest of the right side with squinted eyes.
”Boss, what's wrong?” Barbarian Bull as if sensed nothing, confusedly asked Long Yi, seeing him stop all of a sudden.
The squinted eyes of Long Yi slowly returned to normal, then said to Barbarian Bull with a smile: ”You can return first, I still have something to do.”
Barbarian Bull hesitated, although he will not defy the instruction of Long Yi, but sensing that sharp blade like qi emitted by Long Yi just a moment ago, he clearly knew that that was Long Yi's instinctual reaction towards danger.
”There is my friend over there, not enemy, you can rest a.s.sured.” Long Yi smiled and patted the shoulder of Barbarian Bull. Compared to the first time he had met Burly, now he was much matured.
”Oh, then I will leave first, be careful, Boss.” Barbarian Bull felt relieved, then turning around, he left.
Long Yi smirked, then as if a roc, he shot towards the dense forest of the right side. And when he landed on the ground, he saw a shadow going towards the summit of the mountain, and Long Yi naturally followed after.
Not long after, this shadow stopped above the large stone of the mountain's summit, then slowly turned around, revealing a still attractive face.
”Big sis, out for a walk?” Long Yi smiled and asked. This mysterious female Sword Saint was looking for him, but he didn't know why.
Female Sword Saint smiled faintly and said indifferently: ”I heard you are returning tomorrow, is that true?”
Long Yi nodded his head. He was not surprised about why and how she knew. But, if she didn't know then that will be the surprising matter.
Female Sword Saint fixedly stared at Long Yi, and a trace of recalling hue appeared in her eyes.
”Big sis, do I look like my grandfather?” Long Yi smirked and said.
Female Sword Saint came back to her senses, then lightly smiling, she shook her head, and as if she was self-mocking, she said: ”No, you and your grandfather do not look alike at all, but your temperament as well as smiling appearance are very alike.”
”Hehe, is that so? I want to ask you a question, why didn't you and my grandfather come together?” Looking at female Sword Saint, Long Yi asked.
Female Sword Saint was startled, then gently sighing, she said: ”At that time, your grandfather was just like you, elegant and unrestrained. But he was too promiscuous, and I can't bear to share my husband with other girls. Like that, we finally fell out.”
”Are you regretting now?” Long Yi asked. He was secretly alert in his heart, because the example of love giving birth to hate could be found everywhere.
”Regret? Merely have sorrow, but if you ask me to choose again, then I will still choose to leave him.” Female Sword Saint faintly said. Then suddenly sighing, she said with a smile: ”What am I doing saying you these things. I was looking for you to give you something.” Female Sword Saint said, then taking out a silver-white necklace from her neck, she gave it to Long Yi.
The moment Long Yi took the necklace, he felt ice-cold in his hand, and dazzling radiance spilled out of this necklace. Moreover, a silver moon of the sky was engraved on it.
”This is?” Long Yi asked.
”This is Wall of Revolving Ice, a divine rank defense magic accessory. At that time, I used it to reflect your lightning and thunder.” Female Sword Saint indifferently said.
Long Yi was startled. This was a peerless treasure. Such treasure that was able to completely reflect the enemy's attacks as sudden as a flash of lightning, he feared that it was difficult to find the second one in the entire world.
”This……why?” Long Yi muttered. This thing was truly too precious, and she was giving this to him for no reason, so his heart was somewhat uneasy.
”Treat it as a fate which brings people together and accept it with ease. You don't need to worry about Long Ling'er and Ximen Wuhen, I will protect them in secret. Moreover, Long clan and Ximen clan each have powerful experts protecting them in secret. They will absolutely be fine.” Female Sword Saint said.
Since she had said so herself, making an excuse to not accept it would be too unreasonable. So, Long Yi wore this necklace around his neck. And having heard the words of female Sword Saint, he suddenly recalled the incident of that time when Ximen Wuhen was nearly sullied by the second prince of Proud Moon Empire in the woods, so he immediately said: ”If someone is really protecting her in secret, then my little sister wouldn't have suffered the incident of that time.”
Female Sword Saint was dumbfounded, then she suddenly smiled and said: ”Are you talking about that night when you arrived at Mea Holy Magic Academy for the first time? If you hadn't gone to save there, then someone else would have.”
The complexion of Long Yi changed, so this means, at that time, there was someone around, but he was unable to sense their presence at all. Although at that time, his strength was far from his current strength, but ordinary people would still be unable to approach him without him sensing their presence first. This shows, this world really had hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
”Well, it's getting late, you should return.” Female Sword Saint waved her hand, then turning around, she stared towards the distant place, no longer talking to him.
Long Yi looked at Female Sword Saint's that missing expression for a while, then flew away.
”Xiao Yi, why aren't you sleeping this late at night?” Tyrant Bear returned after drinking wine with his comrades, and seeing his younger sister Xiao Yi was standing in the middle of the courtyard, looking towards the sky and thinking something just after opening the door, he asked.
Xiao Yi looked over and her transparent pupils restored a little bit of warmth and said indifferently: ”I wasn't able to sleep, so I came out to take a breather.”
Tyrant Bear approached Xiao Yi, then carefully looking at his younger sister, feeling familiar and again somewhat unfamiliar. It was very hard for him to understand what she was always pondering like this.
”Big brother, why on earth are you looking at me like this?” Seeing Tyrant Bear was fixedly staring at her, she questioningly asked.
Tyrant Bear smiled and patted the little shoulder of Xiao Yi. He wasn't stupid, and had already sensed that something had happened between Long Yi and Xiao Yi. But he also didn't know what exactly happened. When he asked Xiao Yi, she would say no more than a single word.
”Xiao Yi, my subordinates reported me that Young Master has returned today, when do you think he will lead us away?” Tyrant Bear asked.
”Soon, maybe in next few days.” Xiao Yi looked up towards starry sky. She knew that that unusually dazzling star that was encircled by many stars was Long Yi's fate constellation.
Tyrant Bear nodded his head. Now he was somewhat excited and he tightened his grip on the huge sword, as he, Tyrant Bear was about to set foot on a journey to realize his dream.
Suddenly, as if she sensed something, Xiao Yi covered her rapidly beating heart, then muttered: ”Came, he came.”
Tyrant Bear was dumbfounded, and before he had time to react to the words of Xiao Yi, a figure descended from the sky and stood in front of them.
”Young Master, Tyrant Bear pays respect to Young Master.” Tyrant Bear immediately bowed and greeted.
Xiao Yi also paid her respect, while standing alone on one side.
”Tyrant Bear, we'll be leaving early in the morning tomorrow, notify brothers to make preparations.” Long Yi indifferently said, and his tone contained powerful might.
”Yes, Young Master.” Tyrant Bear immediately ran out just like a gust of wind.
Now, at this moment, only Xiao Yi and Long Yi remained. And after being silent for a long time, Xiao Yi said: ”Master, please come inside and have a cup of tea.”
”Call me Young Master just like your big brother.” Long Yi said, then pa.s.sing by Xiao Yi, he walked into the hall.
Xiao Yi brewed a kettle of tea, and after quietly pouring a cup of tea for Long Yi, she stood behind him without speaking.
”Xiao Yi, your Young Master’s shoulders are stiff, help me ma.s.sage them.” Long Yi indifferently said. He always had a knot in his heart towards Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi was startled, still biting her lower lip, she placed her little hand on the shoulders of Long Yi, then lightly kneaded. Despite some resistance in her heart, she however discovered that a warmth was coming through his body, making her feel warm. While kneading, Xiao Yi suddenly recalled every aspect of the time she had with Long Yi. Before their relation was not like this. At that time, unsociable and eccentric her had a little bit of girlish longing towards Long Yi, this man who had intruded in her life. But now, the relations.h.i.+p between them however had gone completely bad.
Unconsciously, a teardrop slid down from her transparent pupil, and fell onto the collar of Long Yi, quickly permeating and wetting his skin. This made his heart to tremble a bit. Long Yi and Xiao Yi possessed the relation of blood contract, so he was naturally aware of her current chaotic state of mind.
Long Yi also wanted to forgive Xiao Yi, wanted to treat as if everything had never happened, and again get along with her just like before. But was this possible? No, what happened after all was, she had used his trust on her, and he was unable to dismiss this from his mind.
The state of mind of Long Yi got chaotic, and suddenly getting up, he shook off the hands on his shoulder. And because the strength of shaking off was great, Xiao Yi was unable to bear, and tumbling few steps back, she fell to the ground. Then she looked at him with a pair of grieved transparent eyes.
Long Yi lightly sighed, then walking to the front of Xiao Yi, he helped her to stand up, but Xiao Yi as if had lost all of her strength leaned on his bosom. And only after hugging for a long time as if a pair of a lover, Xiao Yi lightly pushed Long Yi away, then with her transparent eyes flas.h.i.+ng all of a sudden, in this instant, Long Yi seemed to have seen a shrunk version of the universe. And before he was able to understand what was going on, he suddenly felt a soft and warm thing on his lips, so he immediately retreated.
”What are you doing?” Long Yi asked in surprise.
”Kissing you, Young Master.” Xiao Yi lowered her head and answered.
Uh……Long Yi was speechless. Anyway, he felt there was something not too normal, but feeling a bit, he again didn't see anything different with Xiao Yi.
”It's already very late, how about staying here for the night, Young Master?” Xiao Yi raised her head and softly asked.
”No, I'm leaving, prepare for tomorrow.” Long Yi confusedly looked at Xiao Yi, then disappeared from that place.
Xiao Yi straightened up her body, then slightly opening her lips, a white light came out from her mouth and floated in the air. This unexpectedly was a small bead.
