Chapter 408 (1/2)

Long Yi entered Nika's tent and saw that she was blankly staring at the roof of the tent. No one knew what Nika was thinking at the moment.

”Nika, are you awake?” Long Yi said softly and as he sat on her bedside.

Nika came back to her senses after she saw Long Yi sitting at the side of her bed, ”Thank you, thank you for saving me.”

Long Yi smiled and said, ”I've heard from Arnold and Alpha that you came out to temper yourself… Why did you suddenly thought about coming out? Didn't you hate the world of humans?” Previously, Nika had said that she hated humans who were trying to cheat each other all the time. Nika had once said that she would rather stay in Elven Forest for her entire lifetime than to enter the world of humans.

Nika didn't reply to Long Yi's question. It goes without saying that she didn't need to come out of Elven Forest in order to temper herself. However, to everyone's surprise, Nika persuaded the Elf Queen and Lu Xiya that she wanted to understand the world Long Yi lived in. Nika had thoughts of walking the path Long Yi had walked in order to experience the things Long Yi had once gone through. This was the reason why she came to the Huangmang Plain. However, Nika never expected to meet Long Yi here, it was even more unexpected that Long Yi would save her life from the clutches of the Carnage Golden Falcon.

There were times when Nika didn't understand the feeling she had towards Long Yi. The feelings Nika had for Long Yi was a combination of both love and hate.

To her disappointment, Nika was indeed attracted to Long Yi. However, she couldn't tolerate his fickleness. She knew that the both of them came from different worlds, that was why she kept trying to get closer to Long Yi's world in order to understand more about him.

”Hey, I'm asking you a question here, why are you being absent minded?” Long Yi waved his hand before Nika's face.

Nika eventually came back to her senses and curled up her lips. In a mocking voice, she said, ”I came out because I hate this human world. I want to see the extent of the treacherousness you humans have.”

”Have you learnt what you wanted?” Long Yi asked.

Nika nodded her head and said seriously, ”I finally understand that not all humans are like that. Like Alpha, Arnold and my other teammates… There are good people in the human race too.” When she thought about her teammates who died to the Carnage Golden Falcon, her expression changed. Her face instantly became downcast and her face darkened. After traveling along with the adventurer group, Nika managed to understand shock, regret, and the warmth of teammates. It was the first time she had felt such feelings and her view of the humans were slowly changing.

”In the battlefield, death is the predestination of all the soldiers. In an adventure, death is also the predestination of all the adventurers. You don't need to be too sad.” Long Yi said with indifference in his voice.

”I know, but I have feelings, unlike you.” When Nika saw the nonchalant expression on Long Yi's face when he dismissed the death of the adventurers, she couldn't help but snap at Long Yi.

”Yes, I am cold-blooded… I have no feelings. Have you thought of how you would be able to run away from the Carnage Golden Falcon in your half-dead state? Would you be able to survive with your teammates? Wouldn't you choose to sacrifice yourself if you knew that your death would bring about the safety of your teammates?” With a poker face, Long Yi started questioning Nika. He wasn't cold-blooded, instead, Long Yi chose to hide his feelings from the rest of the world.

”You… you are truly hateful! I'm not going to talk to you anymore!” Nika shouted in desperation as she angrily turned away from Long Yi.

”Since you don't want to talk anymore, rest well. I'll take my leave.” Long Yi stood up as he flatly stated.

Nika stared at Long Yi's back as he walked towards the exit of the tent. Just before he lifted the curtains, Nika suddenly shouted at him, ”Long Yi, aren't you curious about Princess Lu Xiya? Aren't you the least bit interested in how Lu Xiya is doing? ”
