Chapter 6: Recalling the Past (1/2)
Though things were not the same for her. Her hands were cold and slightly trembling and her face was pale.
It seems it was her fist time watching a fight with so many deaths, but in this cultivation world where the strong prey on the weak it's a common sight.
Even worse, she had no actual combat experience too. At these times not knowing what to do is what makes it more dangerous.
Seth approached her slowly and held her hand mildly. ”Don't worry Meiyi, everything is all right now.”
She slowly turned to look at him. ”Yeah... I'm all right, it's just that...”
”What is it? You can tell me.”
”I was so useless. The only thing I did was to run. All this time, while you were fighting, I could only hide.”
”You're totally wrong. Look at him...” Seth pointed at Tao Yong lying on his face.
”You put him to sleep so comfortably... That is my girl!”
”Forget it... I'm better now.” She said laughing.
She cut him and didn't delve into the topic. Apparently, it seems something else bothered her.
”Since you are better now...” Seth quickly sealed her lips with a kiss.
She took three seconds to finally realize what was happening, but it gave him time to slip a tongue in, to savor the flavor for a bit.
”Ouch!”
The invading tongue got bit.
”Y-You!!!” She pushed him away lightly. What happened was so sudden that she was at a loss now, even forgetting the intense fight inside the cave.
Her cheeks were totally red, her hand already warm and she could not think about gloomy things anymore. As soon as Seth stared back at her, she ran away as fast as lightning. In a matter of seconds, she was already at the entrance.
”So fast! Whew... at least she is back to normal.”
”Humph... Is this how you help her to overcome her fears?” A voice with a bit of indignation sounded.
”Hey Lexi, what do you think about her? Is she alright?”
”I could feel that she was not on her proper state of mind, there was even a bit of distress. Your girl might not have it so easy as she appears to be.”
”Hm, I can only help her out if she does want to. Guess it will take some time.”
”There is another thing. You noticed, didn't you?”
Seth already knew what that was about. ”I guess so. A normal smoke wouldn't suppress people perception like that, even weakening her own signals to such a level, that is for sure not a common technique.”
”What will you do then?”
”There is nothing to be done now. Hmmm... We could try to strengthen her skills and discover what happens.”
”Then let's leave here, I want to go to a better place, this burnt cave is not beautiful anymore.” Lexi loves to travel, even sometimes urging Seth to visit new places and go on adventures.
”All right then. Let's clean up this mess and leave.”
Just as Seth approached the unconscious Tao Yong and raising a hand ready to finish him off.
”Wait!” Lexi felt something.
”What is it now?”
”I can feel some object leaking some weak aura on his body. Check out his left pocket.”
Seth gave it a quick check and found a circular object. Looking a bit closer it was a ring.
Ding!
The ring dropped as he got disoriented when he saw its design.
There was a Hound head in the middle and it was entirely silver.
”Hey, what is happening?” Lexi asked confused.
Inside his eyes red veins started to pop out, red lines covering the white parts.
”Huff! Huff!”
”Calm down! Seth!”
”Arghh!”
”If you don't calm down the seed might get out of control!”
”Huff! Huff.” Seth started to breathe deeply trying to control his emotions.
A minute later he got a bit calmer. All abnormal signs vanishing slowly.
He checked the ring again, memories started to flow.
One single head! Not three! Maybe there is no relationship. His mind was racing, trying deny the facts.
Through those memories, there was one that could give him some information, betraying his own expectations.
A short memory of 8 Years Ago
