Chapter 413: Conflicted Nika (1/2)

The Hengduan Mountains was located a distance away from the border of the Proud Moon Empire. As such, it wasnt seriously affected by the cold weather as it was blanketed by lush green grass and towering trees.

Barbarian Bull appeared especially excited. His eyes emitted burning hot brilliance as he hummed a popular some from the beast-men clans.

Barbarian Bull, stop, stop! We are going to rest here for now. Long Yi called out to Barbarian Bull who was still in high spirits. They had been on the road for a full day now. Could it be that this bull didnt know what hunger was?

Boss, why are we resting again? Barbarian Bull grumbled unwillingly. Seeing as how he was about to reach his hometown, he wanted nothing but to rush home as soon as possible. He wanted to see his beloved wife as quickly as possible. He hasnt seen her in two whole years!

Dont be too hasty. You have to take a break in order to have energy later! How else would you be able to have a good sleep tonight without sufficient rest? Long Yi smirked as he sat down under the shade of a big tree nearby.

Laughing foolishly, Barbarian Bull scratched his bull horns in embarrassment.

As Long Yi leaned against the huge tree, he stared far into the distance. Currently, they were in the vicinity of the Barbarian Bull Clan. At the same time, the Elven Forest wasnt far away. When Long Yi thought of Lu Xiya whom he had not seen for an extremely long time, his heart burned.

My husband, look at Nika. She looks troubled Nalan Ruyue pulled on Long Yi sleeves as she said.

Turning his head, Long Yi looked at Nika who had the elven bow slung on her back. She was sitting on a large stone not far away as she stared blankly into the distance. She was sitting alone as her white jade-like legs were slightly trembling.

What else could Nika be thinking about? Isnt she just thinking about this guy over here? Bertha said as she shot a glance towards Long Yi. If someone were to say that there was nothing between Nika and Long Yi, Bertha would be the first to bite them to death. She would rather be beaten to death than to believe that there was nothing going on between Long Yi and Nika.

Yes she is probably thinking of someone, but she isnt daring enough to make her moves on him. Nalan Ruyue snorted as she rolled her eyes at Bertha.

Berthas eyes darted around as her face turned redder than a tomato. She stuck her tongue out at Nalan Ruyue without speaking.

Long Yi hesitated for a moment before standing up. He slowly made his way towards Nika as he had a weird look on his face. Currently, Nika rested her chin on her palms as those clever and beautiful eyes looked blurred. She appeared as though she was thinking about something and there was something weighing down in her heart.

Whats wrong? We are about to arrive at the Elven Forest. Arent you happy? Long Yi jumped on the stone and sat beside Nika. As her long hair fluttered in the wind, Long Yi managed to catch a whiff of her natural fragrance.

Coming back to her senses, Nika seemed as though she wanted to move away from Long Yi. However, she didnt move in the end as she sat there in the middle of the stone.

I dont know. At first, I thought that I would be happy when we reach the Elven Forest as I would be able to join my people again. However, I dont feel any joy at the moment. Nika said in a soft voice as she appeared to have become extremely lonely. Her heart seemed to be enveloped with a layer of dense fog, and even she had no idea what she was feeling at the moment.

Long Yi opened his mouth to console her, but he had no idea what to say. In the end, he closed his mouth and say silently beside Nika. Long Yi was able to vaguely sense Nikas feelings, however he wasnt certain about what he felt. Perhaps, even Nika wasnt clear about her own feelings.

The two of them sat there quietly as they stared into the distance. The ice-cold mountain breeze seemed to have bound them together before separating them. The process repeated itself again and again she the both of them sat there without moving.

After a long time, Nika jumped down from the huge rock. Slowly turning around, she fixed her gaze on Long Yis face. Currently, Long Yi looked as though he had a dazzling halo above his head as the sun rays bathed his body in golden light.

When he saw that Nika was staring at him, Long Yi decided to jump off the rock as well. However, the moment his legs reached the ground, he felt a fragrant wind blowing against his face as Nika rushed into his embrace. Her charge was so strong that Long Yi fell backwards and rammed into the rock behind him.
