389 Weird Behavior (2/2)

”It is highly unnecessary for you guys to fight every beast that you see. Even if you spend all of your time fleeing, so long as you arrive at the place I give you, you will eventually reach Hero Realm. Be careful and survive, understand?”

And just like before everyone nodded and took his advice to their hearts. Once he was done warning them, he then started pointing them out a certain directions in the map.

Paul's destination is at the Sunken Ivory Palace. Ellen's would be at the Sun Temple.

Anne was to head northwest, at a place called Fallen Star Valley. Mark is headed southwest where the Eternal Storm Ridge is located.

If Raven really wanted to, he could just ask the Old Consciousness to transfer them to these locations through teleportation. However, for the sake of tempering them, he chose not to.

At the end, the four decided to make preparations as early as possible, leaving Raven and Luna, who's feeling displeased since Raven hadn't given her any directions at all.

”Avi…” Luna endearingly called out to him, causing Raven's heart to tremble. ”Where should I go.”

Raven smiled wryly as he looked at her, he then pinched her cheeks and said: ”I'm still thinking about it.”

”Liar. You have something in mind, you just don't want to tell me.” Luna snorted as she crossed her arms in front of her.

Raven wanted to say something but looking at Luna's expression, he knew that he was busted. She was right after all.

Luna sighed and lowered her gaze. Her heart felt troubled, she then said something that has been bothering her ever since Raven returned.

”Why are you avoiding me?”

Those words caused Raven's heart to tremble. His gaze locked onto her instantly, he wanted to say something to retort that but what he saw almost broke him.

Luna was sad. She wasn't crying or anything, her heart just felt incredibly lonely and her face showed a forlorn expression. Raven wasn't aware that Luna would notice his weird actions but he really wasn't trying to avoid her at all.

He had other reasons…

”I-I think I should leave…” Luna didn't like the situation at all. She was afraid, to her it seems like Raven had fallen out of love. She couldn't bear it and she didn't want to hear him say it so she might as well just leave.

But before she could even reach the door, she felt a strong pull on her hands.

She wanted to say something but she was shocked to see Raven's burning gaze bearing at her.

Luna was momentarily in a daze. She felt small under his gaze. She couldn't understand it, but at the same time, the emotions that Raven showed in his eyes were causing her heartbeat to hasten.

”I…” Raven stuttered, he wanted to explain many things but something else entirely was bothering him. He couldn't say anything at all. All he could hope for is for Luna to feel the burning feeling inside his chest.

The feeling nearly drove him mad. In his muddle-headedness, he pulled Luna into a long and passionate kiss.

Luna felt electrified, she could feel her stomach lurching. She was nervous but at the same time, she losing her grip into reality due to his kisses.

She could feel his warm and greedy hands roaming around her body, causing her to lose strength on her legs. At some point, she just realized that Raven was already carrying her and her legs were already wrapped around his waist.

Lost in the feeling of their bodies pressed together and their emotions taking control, both of them couldn't even remember when they arrived at the bedroom.

And as Luna felt Raven's warm hands inside her clothes, she finally understood why he was 'avoiding' her. She couldn't help but feel that he was being so silly.

Didn't he know that there is no one else that she would give herself to other than him?

And though she will never admit it, she too was longing for him.

Now that she understood what he meant, and now that they were already at this point, no one could get in the way of their union anymore.

*Ahem*
