64 Truth at Dawn (1/2)
”The fireworks are here!” Yang Guang shouted at Ye Xing who was standing on the school field waiting for him.
Pushing a trolley stacked with boxes of fireworks, Yang Guang walked at his own pace towards the spot Ye Xing was standing.
Both of them then started to take out the fireworks from the boxes and placed all of them onto the ground.
They are going to ignite the fuse at the first light of dawn; the sound of the blast would be loud enough to tell everyone in Song City that today is the day.
Imagine the colorful firework sparkling and splashing their colors as the fading stars became one with the backdrop of blue and orange sky.
”Everything is done and there is one hour left until we need to light the fireworks.” Ye Xing said to Yang Guang as she sat down onto the grassy school field.
The night breeze carried her hair into the air, sparks shining from her blue eyes as she looked at the night sky.
Yang Guang then lie down beside her, the soft grass and his grey hair touched as he enjoyed the scenery of a beautiful girl looking at the night sky.
To break the silence, Yang Guang was the first to speak. He turned his body sideways and looked at Ye Xing who also turned her head when she noticed Yang Guang moving.
”So do you like me?” Yang Guang asked his question straightforwardly.
”I think I like you.”
”Who proposes to a girl that way?” Ye Xing did not answer Yang Guang's question, she just blushed and turned her head away.
Yang Guang too did not continue talking; he faced the sky once more as he turned his body.
Just when he was about to close his eyes; Yang Guang's ears twitched because he heard something coming from outside.
It sounded like wings flapping, the wings of something big, something dangerous.
Standing up on his two feet, Yang Guang walked away to make a call. He wanted to call Lisa Beaux to send some backup to protect Ye Xing.
”Sorry, can you sleep for a while?” Yang Guang asked Ye Xing as he pulled out a talisman with the symbol of a star inscribed onto it.
He ripped it apart and starlight flashes from the eyes of Ye Xing, and then she falls to the ground unconscious.
Yang Guang summoned his rattan pole and stabs it into the ground; his eyes moved upward and he saw the damn creature that was flying around just now.
”Another useless bat… seriously?” Yang Guang said as he sized up the giant bat monster standing in front of him.
Hearing himself being called a useless bat, the damn creature snapped at Yang Guang. He lunged forward with his claws and shouted: ”I the sky general of the demon bat army, Karen. And I am here to avenge my princess!”
Yang Guang smiled.
Even when the claw almost reaches his eyes that smile on his face never fade.
Karen, the demon bat army general rebuked Yang Guang words by telling him that he is also a rank 7 just like him.
