Vol 2 Chapter 8 (1/2)

By the time Molan closed his eyes as he lay on bed, it was already theof the next day

Heavy rainfall continued, seely endlessly, and the dark clouds ht Only the clock could be counted However, Shuoxue was still not used to telling the tireatly froo

Molan had ht because of the receptionist’s insistence that he had not seen any golden haired elf girl, only a youth lugging his luggage as he left his rooent and didn’t want to admit it and destroyed the place, and had to escape into the rain before the guards and security came He continued to ask people in the streets and knocked on doors as Shuoxue followed hie and cursed at the weather and himself constantly, and nearly came to bloith peoplecompletely defeated, as the rain made him utterly drenched

Shuoxue walked up with an umbrella

She’s dead, Molan softly said

Shuoxue thought so too, that for soht and she disappeared co any remains

To have uilty, but Molan did not blaised and paid for the dao royalty and did not dare to pursue matters further After he entered the room, Molan sat by theand put on the earHe did not utter a single word nor did he sleep the whole night

And now that he was finally asleep, Shuoxue was sitting at the side, eating the shaved ice that was for Tess and glancing over at Molan from time to time

This is ht

Even though he is usually so slovenly, seeets eirls important to him, he had done so h he did things without thinking, he didn’t seem so bad after all

And when he hurt, he would hide it deep within his heart and say nothing

He is awith, it would be for the best if he can live long Shuoxue thought about the Sword Saint when he knelt before the guillotine

The curse hat she orried about the most, as she did not want Molan tokilled by his beloved Tina and Tess, one already qualified for that position and another had potential But now that both were dead, Shuoxue need not worry about this for now

Shuoxue did not think that Tina could be saved There was no such healing spell that could revive the dead after all Unless the Gods themselves lent a hand But if they cared about the life and death of human, they wouldn’t be Gods

Molan wouldn’t give up of course and he ht still stubbornly believe that Tina would return to his side soon, and would probably think of a plan to return to the forest of elves when he awakens Originally he planned on returning with Tess on the 9th day of the trip But now that she has disappeared, he could not return as the forest rejects all humans

All my fault, Shuoxue muttered softly

Not returning was good, Molan would never confirm Tina’s status and would keep his hope alive That way, he would never fall in love again Shuoxue thought that was the best scenario but Molan would surely hate her though that couldn’t be helped

After she finished the shaved ice on hand, Shuoxue searched the bag for more but there was none left I’llet him to buy more when he wakes up, tch tch, huh nourish at it another way, it meant that she could eat as much as she want and not have any repercussions

Looking at Molan’s skinny back, Shuoxue raised her eyebrows

What is going on? She said to herself

Why is Molan’s life force so corrupted?

As a sword, Shuoxue could see the life force of people as a halo e and health, the ed typically have thin halos, which looked like they could dissipitate anyti, thick and healthy halos Tess’s halo had a rift which was growing bigger bit by bit Shuoxue could calculate the time required for the halo to disappear entirely and it would be 10 days at rowth had accelerated when they were out buying shaved ice, and so they could not see Tess’s last , elf or hu consuer

It looked exactly like the halo of the green haired elf as taken over by the demonic beast And it was after the Oracle Plenary that Molan’s halo began turning black

Was Molan being taken over as well? Shuoxue was very concerned about this at first but Molan did not exhibit any sy out of his body Shuoxue’s concern diminished with time, and only a small suspicion remained

By logic, Molan could not be taken over by a demonic beast after all since he had not clreen haired elf’s blood Before he could swing down his sword, Tess had come to stop him and destroyed the elf in a clean manner that left no blood behind

Good thing Tess had foreseen Molan being taken over and saving him from that fate

Did she foresee her own end? Shuoxue shook her head If that was the case then Tess would have brought Molan back to the forest on her own accord before she disappeared

As for how Tess was treating Tina, Shuoxue had no idea After sinking into the holy water, Shuoxue’s perception of the world was shut down forcefully When she recovered, they were already in Tess’s room Tess placed Molan onto the bed, wiped the bloodstains off him, rubbed his forehead, and opened the s to let the cool breeze in to let him sleep more comfortably After that was done, Tess carried Tina, whose halo was alone, out of the room

Take care of yourfor a bit Tess said to the Shuoxue in sword for by the bed as she shut the door
