Chapter 20 Devour her! The city in the night
After saying good bye to Di Xun, the young earthling went back to training grounds where Huo Ning was fighting. Moving between the Di Family buildings that were prestigous, the memories of Endrun once more appeared… Xue Ren took off the little black cat from his head and hugged her tightly. Sho Yue was the only one who could alleviate this pain…
"You have been coming here everyday… follow me to the next floors." the melodious voice said to the Endrun who was attentively reading the book on the first floor. Althought the voice was lovely, her every word was like deadly sword that pierced his heart…
Who was she? What"s her relations.h.i.+p with Endrun? Xue Ren who was already on his knees wanted to ask such questions, but he couldn"t. He knew that this pain wasn"t from the memories, but from the current Endrun who was sitting in throne room…
Finally, thanks to Sho Yue, he calmed quite fast. Sooner or later, he will know everything, thus, he did his best to hide his exhaustion and went forward. Arriving at the training ground, Xue Ren immediately noticed his friend beating another n.o.ble. Zhang Wuyang who started this show lied in the corner with swollen face. It was so big that even Xue Ren felt a bit sorry. Of course, Huo Ning didn"t care at all. His water snakes danced nimbly as he laughed loudly! However, his magic power wasn"t infinite. Huo Ning who was in the center of attention had to leave the stage reluctantly.
Seeing his friend in the crowd, he waved to him happily as he arrived before him, but he wasn"t the only one to come here. Fan Luan, their cla.s.smate with special nature came as well. She looked at Huo Ning with faint blush as she said…
"Let me heal you…" she caught his hands and starting applying healing magic without his word. Huo Ning face was as red as tomato. This woman was basically the young princess of A cla.s.s as everyone wanted to be friends with her… Little did he know, that Fan Luan herself was jealous of this pair of friends. Their freedom and how their friends.h.i.+p was pure compared to those who only wanted to get benefits from her and her special nature…
Xue Ren saw that it was his friend time, patted his shoulder and gave his blessing. Turning around, he saw a lot of people looking at them with hostile expressions…
"If I didn"t use most of my magic power on Di Xun, you wouldn"t look like that at us, fools…"
The youngster decided that if Di Xun who was divinity could hide that fact without things like his silver ring, he could show a bit of his power…
[Bluedawn City, Night]
Xue Ren moved through the alleys in the Bluedawn City. The city in the night had quite a mysterious feeling. He entered the place that was full of people with bustling atmosphere. Currently there was a festival in commoner"s district. Of course, he didn"t come here for festival. Xue Ren simply didn"t want to sleep as he had exprienced a bit of Endurn"s memories again… Althought, he wasn"t sure whether the reminisce would begin or not, the young man simply couldn"t fall asleep. Leaving Sho Yue who was sleeping quietly, Xue Ren ventured out for a walk.
Festivel itself wasn"t anything special. The lights were made of out wood and fire instead of light stones like in main district. The commoners used low quality materials, but Xue Ren felt like it had its own charm and felt the sense of belonging. The people were laughing, drinking and eating happily. Even little kids were running around enjoying simple foods… Moving without b.u.mping into anyone, Xue Ren stopped before a stall. Simple jewelry has been placed here on exposition. Looking at the golden bracelet, though it definitely wasn"t gold, Xue Ren found it to be very well made. Soon, the young voice called him.
"Are you interested in this bracelet?" the small little girl asked him happily.
"Yes, are you the one who made it?"
"Yes!"
Xue Ren took out a lot of money, however he did it secretly. Signaling the little girl"s father to come closer, he quickly handed him a lot of money. The money was both luck and misfortune. The mister also understood that as he hide it properly. He genuinely thanked Xue Ren as he patted his daugther"s little head.
The young earthling bought this bracelet as present for Sho Yue. He wanted to give her something that she could wear both in human and little cat form. Smiling contentedly, he entered the alley void of any life. Xue Ren wanted to use his movement technique to fastly come back home, but…
"This place has been sealed." said Endrun at the same time as Xue Ren thought that something is different. Soon, the young figure appeared at the other side of the valley…
"Blazing Inst.i.tute"
"Another one…" Xue Ren thought with annoyance…
"You are the one who killed our disciples near the Carneg Village, right?" the one who said that was the young woman. She looked quite normal, the only thing that featured her were her big b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
"Oh, so they have found out…" However, the young man didn"t agree…
"What are you talking about?" He asked with his usual smile…
"Hmm, so you are playing fool here… Anyway, you are from Di School, so…" the woman summoned a fire wolf. The wolf looked ferocious as the lava dripped from its mouth…
"It"s fine to kill you." with a smile, she waved her hand. The wolf responded immediately as it jumped at him. The woman also didn"t stay idly, she released fire arrows just like the disciple back then…
Xue Ren who clearly felt her hostility answered her with fire. His arms became fully covered in fire. Throwing flames at the arrows, he confronted the wolf. Seeing her arrows disappearing after the contact with her opponets flame, the woman moved forward. Xue Ren who has exchanged several attacks with fire wolf, finally had caught its mouth. Holding him to stop its movement, he summoned earth spears to pierce it. But the wolfs didn"t feel anything at all as it started to shake violently, releasing more power. It was when the woman appeared behind her summoning and swung the fire whip at the Xue Ren. The fire whip coiled around his left arm as it scorched. It didn"t hurt much, but he had to use more magic power on his left arm to alleviate the pain, thus, giving more room to the fire wolf.
"Tsk, it"s worth trying…"
The young man moved his magic to his right arm. Externally, the fire from the left arm disappeared as it moved to the right arm. It has moved fast and nicely. Inwardly, the magic power moved fastly to the right arm. Because, the fire has disappeared from his left arm, the fire whip started dealing tremendous damage, but Xue Ren was holding up bravely. Of course, the young earthling wasn"t a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t. The fire on the right arm became bigger. Simply holding the mouth of wolf was enough to deal ma.s.sive damage, but Xue Ren knew that it wasn"t enough. In order to end it quickly, he moved his right hand immediately. Utilizing his Starlight Movement fully on his right arm, he let go the wolfs mouth and abruptly pierced it all the way through its body to catch the throat of the woman.
Feeling her throat being hold tightly, the woman opened her eyes widely. She used her both hands to help herself, but she couldn"t shake his hand off… As for Xue Ren, he was a bit scared, because his opponet was a woman. He didn"t want his divine energy to run wildly as he has touched her…
5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds… as the time has pa.s.sed, nothing happened. He was sure that soon, he will kill her. It was then…
"Devour her!" the sudden desire has appeared inside his mind…
