47 General Furball (1/2)
” B-by the way, what was that trail earlier!? I suddenly appeared in the middle of an underground cave with a lava river going further into it.”
Feeling the worried gaze of Yang Meng, Sofie tried to ask about the earlier trail to divert his attention away from her currently flushed face. Sofie almost felt like the more he stared on her, the redder her face grew.
”Hm? The trail? If I'm not wrong the trail is to help us become one with the qi we focus on. For example, I cultivate earth qi, so I had to become one with the earth… I… Don't feel it's a good idea to talk about it… All I can say is a lot of darkness and being stuck somewhere underground… At least you ended up inside an underground cave, I was not that lucky…”
Seeing the dark look on Yang Meng's face, Sofie felt it was a good idea not to ask about the details.
Stuck underground without being inside of a cave… Is this not just being buried alive!?
A look of dread appeared on Sofie's face as she looked at Yang Meng looking blankly into space with a dark look still on his face.
”A-are you okay…?”
”Yeah… I'm fine, at least you can not feel any pain in the trails… You only get some time to become one with the qi before the trail forcefully throws you out. Now that I think about it… How did you become one with the fire qi? I knew about the trail, but you did not… How come you were so fast?”
Hearing the worried question from Sofie, Yang Meng quickly reassured her that everything was fine and in return asked Sofie about her trail. Yang Meng was extremely curious about how Sofie became one with the fire qi without knowing about the trail and what to do beforehand.
”W-why didn't you tell us about the trail in the begging!”
”Ahahaha… I-I might have forgotten it…”
Seeing Yang Meng scratching the side of his head while blushing a bit in embarrassment, Sofie felt the anger inside of her slowly rising.
”Me…o…w”
Hearing the weak meowing all of a sudden, Sofie looked down and saw the little wild cat demon beast still tightly held inside of her embrace…
”MEOW!”
Seeing the human girl was finally awake, the wild cat desperately called out for her to release it immediately.
Sofie saw the pain on the cute creature's face and quickly released the small creature from her embrace with a sorry look on her face.
”S-s-sorry! A-are okay general furball?!”
…
General who? Damned human girl! First you almost kill me by strangling me to death slowly and now I even get these ridicules names!? I'M A PROUD DEMON BEAST! This… this…
Feeling like crying at any moment, general furball slowly saw the shaking shoulders of the round human boy on a few meters away.
D-damned human boy…! You clearly know demon beast have intelligence! Why are you not helping this general… Wait… DAMNIT!
Feeling like it was about to have a mental breakdown at any given moment, general furball slowly resigned to his cruel fate and decided to lay down and sleep. Hoping all of this was nothing more than a nightmare.
…
”Hm? General furball fell asleep. Maybe general furball got tired from hugging me for so long? Fufufu, I should let him rest for now. Ya- is there anything wrong!”
Watching general furball sleeping beside the mat, Sofie turned in the direction of Yang Meng. Only to see him shaking abnormally while seeming to be in pain.
”N-no, n-n-nothing is… w-w-wrong.”
Not fully believing what he said, Sofie picked up general furball and started making her way over to the altar Yang Meng was currently at.
