13 Dai Family (2/2)

”Yoo-hoo, don't try to flatter me, you idiot, you're lucky that I'm a good miss and don't send you hunting the beast the whole night.” Dai Zhi gave another kick to the poor guy, and then they continued walking to leave the forest, which was very sinister at night.

Well. On that specific day, the forest was much more dangerous in the day. At least for humans.

After walking for half an hour, Dai Zhi and his henchmen could see lights from the town square. ”I hope he left the forest safe too.” She can't help thinking about Nero. She liked that new feeling of caring for someone other than her father and sister.

”Ah!” After arriving in the street in front of the town square, Dai Zhi was thinking about Nero when she saw him sitting on a bench next to Elder Xiong and holding Xun Lan's hand that looked like a little girl in love on a date with her lover.

”That idiot Xun Lan arrived first and is already so close to him!” She didn't wait another second before running towards them.

”Nero! Glad you're fine!” Dai Zhi arrived and didn't even care about Elder Xiong, then jumped on Nero, hugging him tightly and pulling him out of Xun Lan's claws. ”Sorry me please, I couldn't find the beast.” Dai Zhi apologized while sniffing on Nero's shoulder in the same way that Xun Lan had done before.

”And here we go again...” Everyone thought except Nero who thought another round of curses in his mind. Xun Lan also has different thoughts, thinking that Dai Zhi was very scandalous now and that she would never do anything so inappropriate... She did the same!

The main square in the city of Abun has never been so lively and full of people. Even at night, everyone wanted to go to see the Elder of the Black Sword Sect, the main misses in the city, and a strange white-haired boy who lived in the forest.

Many people were whispering through the streets and corners. Old and young, women and men, all paying close attention to the circular bench where you could see several young cultivators.

Sitting from left to right were: Zhu Tai, Dai Wen, Dai Zhi, Nero, Xun Lan, Xun Feng, and an old lady who was already sitting there.

Dai Zhi and Xun Lan were holding Nero's arms while making faces at each other. The boys were jealous of the attention Nero received from the girls who even forgot about the beast. Elder Xiong was thinking about what to do after hearing everyone's point of view about the beast's story. And the old lady only thought about why the boy in the middle of the girls had white hair like her but was clearly so young.

”Has any of you seen or heard of a bat-headed beast?” Elder Xiong asked, and everyone except Nero shook his head in denial. ”Uhm... I also never heard about anything like that...” Xiong Zhelan thought out loud, and everyone was making 'Uhm' sounds.

”Whatever it is, we have to kill it. But now it is night, and it must be more challenging to find the 'beast' in the dark without an excellent tracker.” Xiong Zhelan is confident in his strength as a Martial Warrior, but against the unknown, it is always good to be cautious. Thinking like that, he survived until now, even with so many disasters that occurred to him.

”Mmhm, uh-hu.” And everyone seated nodded in agreement, even the old lady.

”And now we have to decide where Nero is staying tonight. Tomorrow we will enter the forest and find the beast, so it will not take more innocent lives.” Xiong Zhelan planned to take Nero to the same inn he stayed. Then tomorrow they would go to the forest to find the beast.

But when everyone nodded in agreement that time, Dai Zhi and Xun Lan looked at each other clearly to show their point of not letting Nero escape from them. And Xiong Zhelan understood well what was going on, but he didn't know how to solve it and could only try to take Nero with him.

”He will stay with me!” Dai Zhi quickly spoke as she got up. ”He's under the protection of my Xun family!” Xun Lan spoke louder. And the two faced each other with imaginary rays passing between them.

The boys did not know what to do. The old lady who was closely watching them liked the show she saw having a lot of fun with it all. Passers-by on the street and people in the square also enjoyed the show and gossiped more and more.

Nero made a confused face with a slightly flushed tone. Anyone would think he was embarrassed to have two beautiful girls fighting over him. And this was supposed to be what he calls 'little details of the performance' but that red tone was him containing the explosive anger that was growing more and more.

Nero promised himself that these girls would not live until next week. Sarah, on the other hand, already wanted them dead for the next few minutes. But things were not as easy as killing who they wanted when they wanted. At least for now.

”Today was a challenging day for you and all the young cultivators who were in the forest, so let Nero come with me and rest. Tomorrow he is still healthy and kicking so you can have as much of him as you can.” Xiong Zhelan just wanted to go out and rest after so much 'beast' history. But he didn't want to leave Nero with these two girls who looked like 'beasts' now.

”Please, girls, calm down and let me go with Elder Xiong to rest. Tomorrow we will all meet again.” Nero had to use a lot of willpower to keep from tearing their throats and talking calmly to Xun Lan and Dai Zhi.

”Meh, whatever you think is best,” Dai Zhi and Xun Lan released Nero's arms and turned around with a 'humph' and crossing their arms in disapproval.
