Chapter 25 - A maid or a battle maid? (2/2)
Hearing him Fen Moli nodded and left the BHC and went towards the Floating Cloud City. Others only watched the show from the sideline and didn't participate. They would have if their Clan Master asked but this time he didn't so they also didn't participate.
Fen Duanhun and Fen Moli reached the Floating Cloud City and went towards Xia Manor. It was quite obvious with its name hanging above the front door. Fen Duanhun shouted furiously, calling for Wang Lei but no one came. Just as he was about to shout again they saw a woman that looked to be in her twenties coming out. They raised their brows, ”You, Woman go and call that brat Wang Lei to come out or we will kill every single person in this manner!” Fen Moli shouted.
Dongxue who heard him looked towards them and asked with a smile, ”And what would you want from my son?”
Hearing her they were surprised that Wang Lei was her son, she looked more like a big sister than a mother of three.
”So you are the one who gave birth to that whore and bastard son of yours, huh!!” Fen Duanhun was furious because of the loss of his eldest son. He thought that he should capture this woman and torture her but just as he finished he saw the woman's smile disappearing and so does she. By the time he realized what was going on, he saw a fist coming towards him with enough pressure to squeeze him like a bug. The punch directly landed on his face as, he was shot like a fast-moving train, towards the ground. Fen Moli who couldn't understand what was going on was about to attack her but she vanished and appear above Fen Duanhun, slamming her feet on his face.
Boom* Boom* boom*
She kept on slamming her feet on him until there was nothing left of Fen Duanhun except some meat pieces here and there. She spat on him, ”Don't you ever dare to curse my children in front of me!!!” Poor Fen Duanhun, even in his death couldn't understand how he died.
Fen Moli had his mouth wide open. He couldn't move from where he was standing, fear taking over him. Suddenly, he felt someone touching his shoulder, making him tremble. But before he could do anything he heard a silent and ethereal voice, devoid of any emotions.
<Ice Time>
He saw in dread as his whole being was frozen solid. ”You should have never said anything about my brother!” Qingyue said, emotionlessly. She had come to check on her mother but when she heard them calling Wang Lei a bastard, she decided to just finish them.
”Well, that was quite some stress relief~,” Dongxue said happily as she and Qingyue went back inside the manor.
Wang Lei who was floating above had sweat dripping from his brows. ”She's scary!”. He looked down at the body of Fen Duanhun and Fen Moli, his eyes turning red as a flower shape pattern emerged in them.
<Amaterasu>
Black flames started to form on the bodies of both BHC's clan master and great elder as their very existence erased from the face of the earth.
Burning both of their bodies he looked towards the direction of the city's gate. ”You are finally here, little Yue!”
Cang Yue who reached the Xia Manor looked at the mess and was confused. She heard Wang Lei's voice and looked at his direction. ”Young Noble!” she walked towards him and did a graceful bow. Wang Lei nodding said, ”Let's go inside!”
They both went inside as Wang Lei didn't go towards the garden, instead, he led her to his room. Cang Yue who was following him confused but she didn't ask any question as she silently follows him.
”Enter!” Wang Lei said, opening the door to his room. Cang Yue thanking him entered inside followed by Wang Lei.
Entering his room Wang Lei went and sat on a chair near the window and tells her to sit in front of him. ”Now that you have become my maid there are some things you need to know, little Yue” smiling Wang Lei said.
Cang Yue who heard him had a serious expression on her face as she leans forward a little with focus. ”Please do tell me, Young Noble”
Seeing her serious expression Wang Lei nodded, ”Then let's start with a simple question! Do you have the determination to follow me as my maid? And by maid, I don't mean a maid that is only used for my daily needs. What I want is a sword that swings the way I want it and has enough sharpness to cut the heaven itself! Do you have the determination to do that, little Yue?!”
”I know what you are thinking but the thing is that I will soon be leaving for an adventure but I don't want to bring a burden to know as a maid. But a sharp sword! I am telling you this; so you can choose. Whether to become a normal maid or to be my sword that will stand by side for eternity!”
Wang Lei said. He wanted someone with a heart and determination to lead others and he knew from the story that Cang Yue was perfect for such a job. Neither he nor Qingyue or any other woman he knows had a personality that would make one willingly follow them. He had a personality that would make people revere and respect him but most of the part would be fear of his powers while Qingyue was just too cold with anyone who she didn't know. And other fairies that he knows… well… let's leave them.
Cang Yue who heard him didn't have to think much. She loved him. even if it was one-sided right now, that didn't mean that it will forever be one-sided. The reason she became his made was so that she could stay by his side and win his heart. Now she was given a choice to stay by his side for eternity! Why would she not choose that? Determination flashed through her eyes as she looked towards Wang Lei, ”Please let me become your sword, Young Noble!”
Hearing her, Wang Lei had a wide smile on his face. He gently ċȧrėsses her face. ”Then from now on, you shall be my sword, Little Yue. The sword that will follow me for eternity and will always be by my side!”
Cang Yue was blushing but at the same time, she felt a different kind of emotion beavering inside her. It was not to love; it was a dėsɨrė to protect. To protect the one that wields her!
Wang Lei raises his hand and a golden portal emerged behind him from where a swords came. A long sword with exquisite golden and blue engravings on its blue hilt emerges from the portal. Wang Lei takes the hilt of the sword and inserts the sword in the ground.
Cang Yue was captivated by the appearance of the sword. She had never seen such an elegant sword. It gave her a majestic feeling. She saw Wang Lei inserting the sword on the ground, ”Now, you have to wield this sword, little Yue. This sword will determine whether you have enough motivation to become my knight or not!' Wang Lei said, seriously. It was the Sword of Victory: Caliburn. Or also known as Sword in the Stone. It was the sword that King Author used in his early battles when he was selected as a King of England.
Cang Yue hearing him become serious. She took a deep breath and takes the hilt of the sword in her hand. Wang Lei who saw her taking the hilt watches carefully. Just as she took the hilt, he could see her eyes becoming unfocused as she stood still. There was sweat between her brows. Wang Lei could tell that the sword was testing whether she was worthy or not to wield it.
Five minutes passed but he received no reaction from her. Just as he was about to get anxious, golden light started to emerge from the sword. He heard her voice that felt ethereal to him. It felt that voice was not coming from her but the sword was the one leading her.
”Grant me thee power, O' Sword of Selection and Victory: Caliburn!” shouts Cang Yue raising the sword and points it towards the sky as a golden beam emerges from the sword and pierce the sky.
Wang Lei saw Cang Yue standing with majesty for all to see. He smiled. 'Finally! It's time for the first World Travel!'
