12 Gimme a weapon (1/2)
Year 198 of the Dragon, Plutarch
A beautiful girl is seen sitting in the darkness. Silver moonlight falls on her figure. She glows like a second moon.
Soon, she hears a noise and gets up from her position. ”Looks like you have finally come.” She says.
”We have come and we will have revenge, Yi Lan.” says a voice.
Standing in front of Yi Lan was a huge slice of cheesy pizza. Beside it was a large can of coke and a packet of long french fries.
”This time, I won't let you leave.” Yi Lan says.
”As if you will be able to do that. Come, let's settle this once and for all.” the pizza slice says.
Yi Lan leaps forward and brandishes a sword in hand. The slice does the same. It continues for a while, before Yi Lan smiles creepily and jumps on the slice.
With a wide mouth, she gulps the slice down. The other two shiver on seeing this. The french fries were trembling so much that they became droopy.
”Mmmm.. Droopy French fries are my favourite. I'll have you next.” With that, Yi Lan leaps toward the french fries and proceeds to eat one, ignoring the cries of the two.
She bit into one, only to find it somewhat hard. ”Why is this so hard?”
A cry of pain is heard and Yi Lan is pushed. She falls down with a groan. ”Owwie. It hurts. Who pushed me down?! Wait, where did my pizza go? My French fries? My coke?! Nooo..” She moans.
”Are you done with your drama?” A familar voice is heard.
Yi Lan looks up with a glare, angry at the person who had shattered her dream.
”Stop glaring. In the first place, you sleep on my bed and then dare to bite me!” mutters Che Ling.
Yi Lan only snorts.
”I bring good news.' he says.
”Are you gonna die?!” asks Yi Lan with a slightly excited face.
”No.”
”Then get out. What else would be good news?”
”You!! Forget it. Our engagement has been postponed by three months.” Che Ling says heaving a sigh.
”It's not been cancelled?” Yi Lan frowns.
”No.”
”Talk about useless.” Yi Lan mutters.
Che Ling released some killing intent he had been holding back for some time. Unfortunately, Yi Lan had almost no reaction. ”What? Angry? Come at me.” Yi Lan taunted.
Somehow, Che Ling managed to calm down.
”Did you tell him about my reincarnation?” Yi Lan questioned.
”No.”
”But why??”
”Do you want to be stripped off by whatever little power you have now? Right now, the only reason why you have survived is because of your position as heir of Yi clan.”
”Heir? Then how come the previous owner was reduced to such a state?” Yi Lan furrows her eyebrows. She knew better than anyone about the nature of humans.
”You were heir only in name. In reality, you aren't treated as good as that.”
”Is that so.” Yi Lan had decided what to do. ”Tell me where the clan quarters is.” She demands of Che Ling.
Che Ling unwillingly tells her.
”Let's go take a look at my home.” With that, Yi Lan wears an overcoat over her new robes and ties up her hair in a bun.
”Gimme a weapon.”
”Huh?”
”You deaf or something?”
”No, but do you even know how to fight with one?” Che Ling says, a worried crease between his eyebrows.
”You forgot I'm reincarnated. I very well know how to fight with one.” Yi Lan says in a bored tone. ”What are you being all sappy for? Gimme a weapon.”
