Chapter 45 - A cup of tea (1/2)

Nightin who was sitting in the cave with Stella and Gaven stood up as he turned towards the exit. Gazing afar,the beautiful evening horizon could be seen as a few birds flew past the orange yet blueish sky.

Gaven could tell what Nightin was about to say as he took the initiative to do so for him ”Nightin,you can leave first if you need to. I believe that we'll meet again one day,on a grander stage.”

Nightin turned around as he bowed to Stella and Gaven ”Thank you seniors for the previous few days,I have learnt many knowledge from the two of you. I'm sure that these information will come in handy one day,haha.”

Stella who was laying down on Gaven's shoulder hugged him as she told Nightin ”Hopefully you would have become a true man by the time we meet again,hehe.”

Three black lines formed above Nightin's forehead as he turned around to take his leave,he was thinking in his mind ”Star still has the mood to joke with me despite my departure...Just what's wrong with her mentality...”

Nightin slowly walked out of the cave. From the perspective of someone looking from parallel of the cave,the figure of a young man could barely be seen,with two silhouettes could be seen waving bye to him.

Contrasting to the evening sky,those three shadows brought about a tinge of sadness within the supposed joyful moment,the birds were chirping around as they enjoyed themselves. Yet, the world seemed to have went silent at this time. Quietness. Not a sound to be heard.

Nightin headed towards the exit route of the toxic swamp based on the directions Stella had given him before his departure.

The path this time was much more peaceful,besides the few poisonous plants which grows here,not a single trace of demon beasts could be seen.

From Nightin's deduction,this must have been a path made by Stella who has scattered her own aura around this area. With her dominating aura here,no demon beasts would be foolish enough to step inside this area.

Before night fell,Nightin managed to leave the toxic swamp as he decided to find a village to rest. After about half an hour of speeding,he finally came across a small village.

Stopping in front of the village,he walked inside it. The next sight he saw greatly shocked him. The area didn't have any bustling night stalls or any children playing around like he imagined,neither could he see any plot of land for farmers to grow corpses.

All he could see were the skeleton heads of many corpses being hanged around the village outside the houses,seemingly as a decoration. Even so,he still decided to find a inn and stay here for the night.

The first reason being that he has absolute confidence in his strength,even if he faces danger,making a full retreat wouldn't be impossible. Secondly,he wanted to find out just what exactly happened here.

After he entered the inn,he didn't see any customers sitting around the tables and having a drink together. There were around eight long wooden tables with two benches on each of the opposite sides,yet all of them were unoccupied.

The inn, chandeliers that seem to be made of sticks

Walking up to the registration counter,he pressed the bell to alert the worker that he's here. Soon,a old granny appeared in front of his view.

She had curly white hair and wore a black spectacle with rectangular frames,a necklace made of the fangs of thirty two demon beasts could be seen hanging around her neck. On her ring finger,was a silver ring carved from bones.

Nightin waved at her and asked politely ”Old granny,I would like to stay here for a night.”

The old granny smiled and revealed her yellowish teeth ”It costs a spirit stone to stay here for a night.”

Nightin attempted to take out a spirit stone from his spatial ring,only to realise that he had left all of his wealth to the sect before leaving.

Nightin placed his hand behind his head awkwardly and laughed ”Old granny,I don't have a spirit stone with me right now. Can you make a concession for me?”

The old granny in front of him took out a dagger and asked ”You can stay here if you become my puppet,pretty good offer right?”

Nightin could sense that something was amiss, without any hesitation,he turned back and took his leave.
