Chapter 105 - THIS BEATING HEART OF MINE I (1/2)

PRESENT TIME

Sina looks on the ground as she slowly floated down and then when her feet reach the ground she heaved a sigh of relief.

'That is a weird experience' she muttered under her breath but everyone can hear it. Azief smirked in amusement.

Sofia was chuckling while Loki was smiling.

'How was it?' Azief asked as he also floated down and landed on the ground with ease, as graceful as the clouds.

Sina who is finally relaxed now that she has stepped on solid ground smiles awkwardly and answer

'I don't know how you do it. I have a fear of high places.' She said as she offers an excuse.

Thinking about it, Sina could only be at awe at Azief free demeanor when he was flying in the sky.

It was like he was in his elements. Flying through the air, knees on the clouds, and his black robe swishing about, as free as a bird.

'The suit seems powerful. Durable too. It withstands a Mach 4 speed in the air without breaking down.' Loki remarked as he come closer to Sina and examines the suit.

Azief smiles.

He must admit that Earth Two has a lot of technological advancement.

He even manages to smuggle two hundred plasma guns, one hundred anti-gravity mine, one Echelion canon and one anti matter bomb powerful enough to level down a city.

Then Azief also wanted to boast about the suit began to speak up

'It is equipped with photon laser, anti-gravity mine, plasma beam, unibeam, and anti-matter particle. There is also pheon beam strong enough to wipe out a mountain. I called it the Anti-Hyperion Suit' Azief explains to Loki.

Loki smiles as he seems impressed.

'You sure bring back something good for us. Would be better if you brought one for me and for Sofia too' Loki said

But Azief shakes his head.

'It wouldn't be that useful in the later stages. You and Sofia could improve yourself with EXP. But Sina, you know how she is. She depends on pills concocting. She will be vulnerable with her body strength. Her stage is also insufficient to match up with the powerhouse present right now and her class is hard to level up. The suit could fight an Energy Disperse Stage High Realm to a standstill. But if that person is an Energy Disperse stage with a body cultivation of Eternal Spring, you better run. Other than that, you don't have to worry about anything.'

Sofia who did not say anything come closer to Azief and asks him about what he sees in the sky.

'A lot of aerial beast. And the world has truly changed. The soils become harder. With my strength I should be able to destroy a mountain with one wave of my hand. But when I unleashed my power on a hill it only smashed at a considerable amount instead of immediately atomized.' Azief answer

'You mean, whatever happen when the light covered the earth strengthened the elements of the world?' Loki ask as he nodded his head with a smile formed in his lips

'Yes, maybe even changing the very environment of Earth' Azief nodded as he ponders again.

Sofia began to become bored hearing Azief and Loki once again talking about things that she doesn't know or understand.

'Hey, Azief look at me' she said as she grabbed the sleeve of Azief black robe. Azief was interrupted and look at her.

'Oh, why?' He asked as he stares at Sofia in puzzlement.

'Notice anything different?' She said as she flashed a smile.

Behind them Sina was showing a cheering movement with her hand. Azief might not notice but to others, it is very obvious.

With Sofia face flushing red, and her ladylike manner only an idiot wouldn't know

Sofia heart beating like a drum. No, like thunder.

Badump! Badump! After almost a year, Azief turns not only taller, but also become incredibly handsome and charismatic.

His hair is long and straight, his face is flawless, and his hand is even prettier than a girl, smooth and gentle.

A stark contrast with his cold attitude which only made him even more attractive. Not to mention Sofia has been harboring this feeling since a year ago.

Maybe it is because he saved her life. Or maybe because she got the feeling that he is the only one that understands her in this new world.

Or maybe it is because of the promise they seal together under the peach blossom tree. No matter the reason, she knows her heart beats for him now.

Her heart is going badump, badump, and she feels anxious, feels nervous, feel giddy. What do I do? She asked herself as Azief stares at her.

What do I do with this pounding heart? He could hear it! She tries as hard as she can to calm her breathing.

She wanted to express her feelings but she knows she's bad at it. Bad at confessing her feelings, bad at being in love.

That was always the case. Always a little late. But not her current self. She will put her feelings forth and go with it.

'I didn't notice anything different' Azief said as he scratches the back of his head. Loki who was standing not far from them face palm himself.

How dense could you be? He wanted to yell.

Clearly, Sofia was making an effort. Look at her hair! Isn't that a different hairstyle from yesterday! Isn't that a twin tails! Isn't that cute! Is he blind! Loki wanted to yell.

Look at her clothes! Isn't that white clothes give a feeling of purity and innocence! Loki wanted to smack the back of Azief head.

What great detective? What great investigator? People said he could analyze whoever someone is by only looking at them?

If he really is all this couldn't he sees that the girl in front of him is clearly having a crush on you!

'Nothing different?' Sofia was choked on her words.

'Really? Try to look again' she asks as she twirled and Sina almost laughed. This time Azief look at Sofia again and then he exclaimed as he smiles

'Ah! You!' he said as he waved his finger at her. His face was smiling like he found something mischievous on her

He comes closer to her suddenly as their face was in front of each other and Sofia heart was jolted.
