335 HE SIMPLY WANTED TO BE WITH HER (1/2)

The ray of the full moon fell on the translucent token in Senja's hand as she twirled it between her fingers. This was another night where Xiao Tianyao 'visited' her room again.

”Shadow Warrior?” She drawled her question.

Both of them sat on the couch leisurely, or it was only Xiao Tianyao who was sitting while Senja was laying down on her back, using Xiao Tianyao's thigh as her pillow.

Xiao Tianyao just told her everything that Elder Dam had told him in this evening and Utara's report as well.

”Hmm… what do you think about that?” Xiao Tianyao asked while playing with her purple hair, feeling the soft strands between his fingers.

Senja slightly surprised when Xiao Tianyao asked her opinion, but also happy because her perspective was matter for him.

”Hmm… I think what grandfather said is right, if even the mind controller and the stone of paradox are existed.” Senja pointed her pendant. ”Then you can't say for sure if the Shadow Warriors are not.”

Xiao Tianyao paid more attention to her hair as he listened to her.

”Even me, I can't explain how I get this vision and my other ability.” Senja added. ”So, can you tell me what the predicament situation that we will face?”

”This is an old story…” Xiao Tianyao mumbled. ”The current Emperor schemed against my parents that bring them to their death and all this time he had been aiming Jun and me, so we are only waiting the right time to settle all the things between us.”

Xiao Tianyao said leisurely, without any emotion. One would have thought that he was only talking about common commotion that could be settled down by a long discussion.

Yet, Senja knew behind all of those emotionless explanations, the thing about 'settle down' was including bloody war and endless scheming. Xiao Tianyao only beautified the dreadful meaning behind it.

Senja sat up straight and cupped his face between her palms. ”I know the road ahead won't be easy and I won't be much help for you. But, I will make sure that I won't leave your side, no matter what.”

Senja wanted to grimace upon hearing her cheesy words, but that was what she felt and she didn't know how to say it in another way.

Xiao Tianyao stared at Senja's dark brown eyes, the feeling that he felt for her wasn't something that he could explain. He wanted to be with her, kept her save, played with her hair, teased her, smelled her scent, touched her, kissed her, but lust was in his last list.

He simply wanted her.
