65 New Member, and New Journey (2/2)

”I can't stay here for now, Xīng Wǔ... maybe later, after some matters are settled.” Jasmine turned back to Xīng Wǔ as she explained patiently.

”But, but... Big Sister are going to leave with that man aren't you?!”

”Err, em, yes...”

”Then, I also want to follow Big Sister! It is unfair that Big Sister can play in outside world, when I have to spend most of my time to furiously train in the palace!”

”Xīng Wǔ! Be a good child, don't throw tantrum like that. Big Sister isn't going to play, Big Sister actually also trains to regain my power back.”

”What are you saying, Jasmine? If she want to follow us, then why not? Besides, we can also teach her more about her power, as we will be together for a long time.” Rafi's voice suddenly sounded behind Jasmine and Xīng Wǔ as his clone then turned to a wooden doll.

”Hmph. Don't you dare to have any strange thought to my little sister, big pervert!”

”Haha, don't joke around like that, Jasmine. Do you think that I will also eat her up?? You really hurt my pride as a kind gentleman...”

”Oh ho, gentleman you say, then care you to explain what about Hinata and Hanabi?!”

”Cough, cough,... you see, Hanabi is only accompanying Hinata...” Rafi said weakly as he slightly averted his eyes from Jasmine.

”Tch, what a lame excuse.”

”No matter what, do you also want to follow us, Little Jasmine? It will be fun to play outside sometimes, you know...” Rafi said enticingly while he was looking at Xīng Wǔ, as though he was a perverted uncle tricking a little girl with a candy.

”Hey, who are you calling little Jasmine?!” Jasmine said furiously as she grabbed his collar, then started beating him. While Xīng Wǔ only looked at Jasmine and Rafi's interaction with bright eyes when she got a bright idea in her mind.

”Because she is your little sister, then I can also call Xīng Wǔ, Little Jasmine, can't I.” Rafi explained weakly as he was beaten up by Jasmine.

”Little Jasmine...Little Jasmine... Un, it is a good name. Brother-in-law is allowed to call me Little Jasmine. However, in return, I will also follow Big Sister and brother-in-law, hehehe...” Xīng Wǔ said with a small laugh as she hugged Jasmine who was still beating Rafi with her kicks and punches.

”Oh, that is my Little Jasmine. You are a good little girl, to quickly realize that I am your brother-in-law eh.” Although Jasmine was still beating him, but it already lessened after Xīng Wǔ hugged her abruptly, thus Rafi could still smile radiantly to Xīng Wǔ.

”What are you saying, Xīng Wǔ?! Who-who wants to be his wife?! Don't joke around now!” While Jasmine, stopped her beating on Rafi for a moment, as she spoke to Xīng Wǔ with a red face.

”Hehe, Big Sister is really bad at lying...”

”Hmph, I will see to it that you won't have any 'fun' times with the girls in this month, Rafi!”

”Ack. No, no, ... you are only joking right, Jasmine?? There is no way that is true isn't it??” Rafi looked at Jasmine pitifully as she had a triumphant look on her face.

”Surely, not. You can believe me on that.” Jasmine said with a smirk as she disappeared in a flash, entering Avalon, as she didn't bother again to prevent Xīng Wǔ from following her. Because, although she was slightly repulsive to the thought of allowing Xīng Wǔ in same place with that big pervert(Rafi), but one of her goal was also to get Xīng Wǔ out from Star God Realm. Besides, she also couldn't bear leaving her alone again in Star God Realm, while they had another place to go to. Though, now, she would really need to keep a careful watch, so that her little sister didn't get to be cheated too by that pervert wolf(Rafi)...

”Yeah, your Big Sister is truly bad at hiding her feeling. Although she thinks that she hides it good enough, but her feelings are written clearly on her face, unlike a certain little girl here.” After Jasmine entered Avalon, Rafi said calmly as he glanced at Xīng Wǔ who was slightly stunned after hearing his words.

”...what do you mean, brother-in-law?”

”You should tell her properly, your real feeling that is. Although you are feeling burdened because of your status as Heavenly Cursed Lone Star, which you think that every calamities around her are caused by you, but she never blames you on it. She truly cares about you, Xīng Wǔ... So, tell your true feelings to her, don't only hold all of it in your heart.” Rafi said gently as he patted her softly.

”...aren't you...also afraid of me, brother-in-law? Don't you afraid...that someday, because of my existence near you and Big Sister, you and Big Sister will face disasters?? Even Mother, Big Sister's Mother, and Big Brother Xisu were also dead. Even Big Sister was also almost poisoned to death. It was because... they were the only one who truly cared for me...” Xīng Wǔ said with a slightly sobbing voice as she looked at Rafi.

”What are you saying, Little Jasmine? Even if there are calamities happening, I will shoulder all of them, protecting you all. I will not die to the likes of mere calamities after all.” Rafi said with a gentle smile, which causing Xīng Wǔ to pause slightly as she looked at him absentmindedly.

”Even if... brother-in-law is weaker than me? It doesn't sound so convincing. Maybe it will be me who ends up protecting brother-in-law...” After looking at Rafi for a moment, Xīng Wǔ said teasingly with a small chuckle.

”Ugh, Jasmine has already told you about me eh... Well, I will be stronger than you eventually, so it is me who will protects you, Little Jasmine.” Rafi said with an awkward laugh.

”Hehe, then I will be waiting for that day...” Xīng Wǔ spoke in a lower voice as she murmured to herself, while she then smiled to Rafi as she said, ”Now, please send me to Big Sister's place, brother-in-law.”

”Sure, sure. After this, we will go to a more relaxing place. I hope you will like it, Little Jasmine.” Looking at her excited face, Rafi slightly smiled as he sent Xīng Wǔ into Avalon in a flash. After he did so, bursts of purple mist spread from his body as they then formed a spatial door, connecting itself to another world.

Rafi shook his head gently as he then stepped inside that spatial door, highly anticipating the new world he would go to, as he spoke to himself, ”Even in the end, she still hasn't been true to her feeling eh. What a cute little girl. Although then, I wonder what kind of world I will arrive to...”
