131 Ism Back. (2/2)
He couldn't blame her. It was almost fifty six days since he had disappeared without a warning.
He looked at the Su Women and the two Lin women with a apologetic smile as he said, ” I'm back.”
” Master!”
When she saw Ling Tian, joy immediately appeared on Virgo's face, who was standing behind Esdeath. This was a very rare expression Virgo would have, which indicated how happy she was to see Ling Tian safe and sound.
Meanwhile, standing beside her, Esdeath was also full of smiles.
” Yue'er.” Ling Tian called out to Xin Qinyue who seemed to be fidgeting about something.
Initially, Xin Qinyue was still a little hesitant after she saw the little touching moment between Ling Tian and Artoria. However, when she saw the bright smile on Ling Tian's face, her eyes turned red immediately. Following which, she began to sob before she leapt into Ling Tian's embrace.
Ling Tian hugged her carefully, before he looked at her familiar face. It has been many years(for him) since they met and her small immature looking face was still the same as before. She was always able to brighten his mood.
” Stupid Brother Tian! You could've at least said something before leaving.” Xin Qinyue hugged Ling Tian even more tightly.
” I'm sorry. I will be careful in the future.” Ling Tian said with a wry smile as he lightly rubbed Xin Qinyue's back.
Ling Tian then turned to look at Su Mengyan who looking at him.
” Yo. Mengyan.” Ling Tian said smilingly.
” Humph, you're finally willing to return?” Su Mengyan asked with a stern expression.
” Mengyan, I really missed you.” Ling Tian grabbed Su Mengyan's delicate hand before he smilingly said.
Su Mengyan snorted and she was just about to scold him. However, when she saw the brilliant smile on his very handsome face, she found herself at a loss for words.
She knew that Ling Tian always faces 'dangerously' powerful people and fight to 'death' with them.
There was no telling just how much hardship this annoying monkey had suffered on the outside over the last few days. Just thinking about it made her heart ache.
” It's good now that you are back. However, if you dare to leave without telling us in the future, I will get my mother to punish you!” Su Mengyan snorted. However, her tensed face slowly relaxed.
Then, she extended her soft and delicate hand, before she lightly hugged Ling Tian and sighed, ”But… it's good that you are back. It's good that you are back.”
Ling Tian's body tensed up as his expression froze. He couldn't believe that, Su Mengyan of all people would actually take the initiative to hug him.
She's known for her hate towards men and wouldn't allow them to even touch her hand much less hug them like she is doing with Ling Tian.
Su Lingyan who was looking at this smiled happily. Even Su Xumei slightly smiled.
Su Mengyan separated herself from Ling Tian and said to him with a slight tint of red on her cheeks, ” That was just a one time thing. Don't think too much into it.”
Ling Tian absent mindedly nodded which earned a burst of laughter from the girls.
After apologising to the other girls as well, he saw that Helix has taken on a much less beautiful form just like Helen and mingled with the group as she introduced herself as ”Yan Zuqing's” long lost sister.
” By the way, is Althea still training? Why isn't she back yet?” Ling Tian asked the girls.
Suddenly, as if they remembered something, their faces became pale as Virgo said , ” Five days ago, a strange black matter suddenly appeared out of nowhere and covered mistress Althea and took her away before any of us could do anything.”
” I'll be back, continue your journey to the Ice Phoenix Empire.”
Ling Tian's expression changed as he immediately gave out his words and vanished from the place.
His last thought was, ” Apocalypse Evil Dragon! If you dare to lay your filthy hands on my Althea, I swear I'll fu*king annihilate the entire Apocalypse Dragon Clan from existence!”
