Chapter 511 (1/2)
Throughout the day, Long Yi stayed in his study and thought about everything he had found out. Long Zhan, as well as that strange power, made him feel a sense of crisis. Not to mention the fact that this time, in Heaven Forbidden Prison, he found his grandfather whose whereabouts was unknown for over 20 years. Long Yi became even more confused.
”Father, what are you doing? Why don't you play with Niur?” At this time, the door of this study was pushed opened and Niur appeared at the entrance.
Long Yi woke up with a start and looking at the sky outside the window, he noticed that the sun was already setting. Only the soft glow of sunset remained in the horizon. Unconsciously, he had spent his entire day in the study.
”Niur, come over here and give father a hug.” Long Yi spread open his arms and Niur rushed into his bosom.
”Niur, what about your big sister?” Long Yi habitually pinched the cheek of Niur and asked.
”Just like father, big sister is also lost in thought. She pays no attention to Niur.” Niur pouted.
Long Yi was dumbfounded. How could that she-T.Rex be lost in thought? Didn't she always cultivate like a madman whenever she had free time?
”This morning, big sister said that she wanted me to return to the Illusory Forest with her. She said that we do not belong here.” Niur continued which startled Long Yi again. Why was Liuxu thinking about returning back to the Illusory Forest? Could it be that she was unaccustomed to staying here?
Thinking for a bit, Long Yi carried Niur and walked out of the study. After looking around, Long Yi noticed that Liuxu had a dazed expression on her face as she stood at a remote corner of a big flower garden in the Ximen Residence. Under that fiery sunset glow, she looked extremely beautiful. She had otherworldly beauty and looked as though she didn't belong in this normal human world.
As it turned out, this she-T. Rex also had time when she would appear to be a quiet and gentle girl. Long Yi watched her and he was in a daze for quite a long time. After quite some time, he walked over while carrying Niur.
”I see that you are in a mood to enjoy the sunset today.” Long Yi smiled and sat beside Liuxu. As for Niur, she quickly ran into the flower garden and disappeared.
Liuxu didn't turn her head at all and she pretended she didn't hear him. She simply watched the gradually sinking sun like she had been doing before and her sparkling eyes reflected the fiery red radiance coming from the sun.
Long Yi touched his nose. This she-T.Rex actually ignored him… She wasn't giving him any face at all.
”I think that I should return to the Illusory Forest. Your human world is too impetuous. I cannot cultivate here with a calm heart.” All of a sudden, Liuxu turned to face Long Yi as she said.
”Why would you think about returning so suddenly? It might not be long before we hear some news from Dragon Island.” Long Yi said.
”If the news really comes, you can use the bracelet I gave you to summon me.” Liuxu replied.
Long Yi saw that she had already made up her mind and she no longer had any reservations about leaving. After looking at her for a long time, he suddenly said, ”Liuxu, don't you feel that you became much gentler?”
”Then… Do you want me to become fiercer towards you?” Liuxu didn't refute and she simply asked him with a smile.
”Of course not. I am not a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t. However… Now, I realize that the smile on your face makes you extremely beautiful.” Long Yi said with a smile.
A hint of redness appeared on Liuxu's beautiful face but it disappeared in the next moment. However, the change in her expression didn't escape Long Yi's eyes. He became extremely surprised and ripples appeared in his heart.
Since the time they met in the Illusory Forest up till now, the time they knew each other couldn't be considered to be short. Neither of them knew how they should cla.s.sify their relations.h.i.+p. Initially, they were simply using each other. However, their relations.h.i.+p had evolved without anyone knowing. Through Niur, the relations.h.i.+p between them seemed to have surpa.s.sed friends.h.i.+p. It was still too early to say that they were in love, but the feeling wasn't too far off. The delicate feeling between men and women had more or less appeared between them.
At this time, a scream came from the other side of the big garden and it was followed by a few other screams which followed. Long Yi and Liuxu looked at each other and quickly rushed over there.
Reaching the source of this uproar, Long Yi noticed Niur standing at the center, and there were a dozen or more people rolling on the ground around her. They were screaming in pain. Not too far away, a beautiful lady had a pale face as she carried a child.
”Father, they bullied me.” Seeing Long Yi, Niur walked over and said with a face full of grievance. This little girl truly had the talent to be the one who complained first. Just by looking at who was on the ground, everyone could tell who the bully was.
Long Yi carried Niur with a smile and he looked towards the beautiful lady. He said with indifference, ”This little girl of mine offended sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, please forgive her.”
The bulging chest of Liu s.h.i.+ rose and fell for a few times before she calmed down. She gently said, ”It's fine. I was unable to discipline my child properly… Fortunately, I didn't frighten this niece.”
A hint of a cold smile appeared on Long Yi's face. He didn't feel like dealing with this hypocritical woman. He turned his head and looked towards the timid Little Shuxian beside Liu s.h.i.+ and a hint of warmth flashed through his eyes. Long Yi only had good feelings for this small niece in his big brother Ximen Tian's family.
”Father, I want to play with this little big sister.” Niur swayed in the bosom of Long Yi and said. Although Niur had already lived for several hundred years, no matter her appearance or intelligence, she was no different from a little child which was three or four years old. She naturally addressed Little Shuxian who was already six years old as little big sister.
Hearing this, Little Shuxian eagerly looked at Liu s.h.i.+. Looking at her current timid appearance, Long Yi was unable to connect her with that lively and cute niece of his two years ago. She seemed to be very afraid of Liu s.h.i.+ and she became a lot quieter. She had also turned introverted. This was not a good thing.
”Sister-in-law, you wouldn't mind letting these two children play together, would you?” Long Yi said with a smile. Even though he had a smile on his face, his eyes were cold.
