Chapter 395 - The Maze (Part-2) (1/2)

”Eww, this place smells so bad.”, Zywia grimaced at that as she held her nose before her eyes fell on Ryuu as she spoke with a glare, ”Ryuu hand over the array you are using.”

Ryuu looked at her before he sent her a talisman upon its activation Zywia let out a sigh of relief as the terrible smell disappeared.

Ryuu sighed at that as he shook his head at her antics only to be taken aback upon seeing many giving him an expecting look on their face as such he could help but ask out loud, ”What?!”

”Well could lend us some more of your talisman.”

Ryuu's jaw slackened as he gained a look of disbelief before he retorted back, ”Why would I give you some, it is a simple array so make it yourself.”

”But, you gave her.”, only for the speaker to slightly swatted at the head by his fellow cultivator who spoke in a gruff voice, ”Of course he would, after all, they have entered together.”

Ryuu coughed slightly drawing attention towards him as he clasped his hand looking like he was praying, and then all of a sudden a warm light came from behind him as he spoke in a revered voice, ”Helping the old helps my karma, next time you see an old lady well past her prime help her, like helping her cross the street at the very least it helps your karma….”

Ryuu ducked his head as a shoe went passed over his head missing him narrowly before it embedded firmly on to the wall before an insane amount of KI hit him as a deranged Zywia shouted at the top of her lungs, ”I WILL KILL YOU RYUU, I WILL KILL THEN PISS ON YOUR REMAINS.”

Ryuu knew he was pushing her too much and if he continued she might break, and the thought was enticing to him only to make him shake his head, 'Damn, why am I acting as such? It must be the poison acting in my body yes that must be it.'

He cleared his throat before he gave a dull glare towards her as he spoke, ”Zywia you are a lady act as one, your set a bad example to children such as I with such bad words.”, he shook his head like someone deeply disappointed at her.

Zywia saw red as she went to lunge at him only to be stopped by Frost Flames and Frozen Ocean as Frozen Ocean rebuked Ryuu, ”Brother Ryuu please stop making fun of her like that by referring her to as 'grandmother'.”

”Then maybe she should learn not to act like one, she did not ask let alone request me for a talisman but she ordered me like an impudent child and since she is so adamant about acting as an aged old grandmother I will treat her as such.”

Everyone including Zywia was taken aback at the cold tone in Ryuu's voice they never thought that the normally easy-going Ryuu would act in such a way as Zywia's eyes widen slightly she had forgotten how her brother had once told how prideful Ryuu was and her speaking and treating him in such a way might have bruised his pride, the fiasco with his brother and the way he crippled that cultivator in the thousand-year banquet in front of so many seniors was proof of that.

She remembered how once when she was present with her mother and Ryuu's older sisters had visited them, they had mentioned how a seven-year-old Ryuu stood defiantly against a Dao Father, was he afraid? Of course, he was yet the only reason he kneeled was because of the aura of the Dao Father forced him to, her mother snorted at that as she had replied to them, 'What do you expect from a Dragon except for their immense pride and rage.', and it seemed that Ryuu had finally reached his limit with her.

Zywia composed herself as she spoke, ”Sorry Daoist Brother Ryuu I apologize for acting in such a way against you.”

Ryuu's face did not betray any emotion as he gave a small nod before he began to move the others slowly followed his example as they floated slowly through the dark corridor in front of them.

”Zywia are you alright?”, Frost Flames voice came to her ears as Zywia shook her head at that.

”No I am not, I made a mistake a terrible one. Since I have stepped inside Eden, I have taken advantage of brother Ryuu many times and seeing I am his family friends he indulged me a lot, but it seems that he might have reached his limit after all.”

Frozen Ocean gave her shoulder a small squeeze as she spoke, ”I will speak with Ryuu, I understand why he acted, but that was way too much.”

Zywia shook her head hastily as she spoke, ”Don't you will make it worse he is very prideful even when he was young.”
