Huff~
It had been a week already yet no sign of the girls as Chu Qingcheng carried Zhuo Fan with ragged breath. Worry plagued her innocent heart, making her not stop for even a second all this time. Even for a Genesis Stage expert, the long travel took its toll.
Zhuo Fan was feeling a bit guilty, wiping her sweaty brow, “Qingcheng, my leg is healed now. Let’s take a rest.”
“No, I’ve yet to catch up to my senior sisters. We can’t stop now. It will only make us lag further behind.” Chu Qingcheng was stubborn.
[You won’t ever catch them, not by taking the wrong way at least.]
Zhuo Fan sighed, “Qingcheng, what difference does it make if we can’t reach them? They’re faster than you anyway so there’s no way you can catch up. Aren’t you going to just meet up in Mist City? You’ll just see them there, so just take it easy.”
“But this is my first time outside the sect. How should I know where Mist City is?”
“Don’t you have me for something this simple? I’ll show you the way.”
“You?” Chu Qingcheng started, looking back, “Weren’t you out looking for herbs? Won’t I give you more trouble for guiding me all the way to Mist City?”
Zhuo Fan chuckled, “What does it matter? I’m just a drifter. We’ll just go to Mist City then you can drop me off on your way back.”
“Oh, then, thanks...” Qingcheng’s cheeks went pink thinking she would carry him back as well. Though her heart did not seem to mind it.
Zhuo Fan snickered, his breath tickling her ear, “You don’t want to carry me?”
Chu Qingcheng blushed harder, shaking her head.
“Would you carry me then?”
The guy was taking all the advantage he could from her back, making her flustered.
“Then hold me all my life, alright?”
Zhuo Fan spoke in an emotional and heavy tone. Chu Qingcheng shuddered, her mind blanking out as she stared deep in those black and tender eyes of his.
She just did not know where Zhuo Fan’s confession even came from to say something like that.
Zhuo Fan looked at her with nothing but love, leaned over and pecked her lips. n/-OVelBIn
Dong!
Chu Qingcheng froze solid, her mind blown away. Feeling the strange yet familiar male scent, her heart raced. With one shudder they both fell to the ground.
Each left a two meter wide hole.
Chu Qingcheng looked confused, “I don’t have it, but I wouldn’t give Ruby Cloud Sect’s treasure even if I did...”
The old man scoffed, “Very well.”
Bam!
Chu Qingcheng was sent flying from a kick to the gut. She jerked and coughed more blood, mixed with her innards.
“How weak, just at Genesis Stage?”
The old man frowned, looking back in doubt, “Is she the same expert that had you scared out of your minds? I don’t see it.”
The man’s face twitched, hanging his head, “Clan Head, maybe she’s not herself today, up on bricks...”
Pa!
The old man smacked him hard.
“You think it’s funny?”
The old man snorted. The other man lowered his head, cursing Chu Qingcheng to high heaven.
[Damn girl, where has all that fire gone? Give me something, even a tenth, so that I can prove to Clan Head my mission failed for a very good reason. As it is now, I’m only being rebutted.]
[There’s no way we can prove our failure now...]
“I’ll deal with you later.”
“Yes.”
The old man glared at him before turning to Chu Qingcheng. The ex-leader looked like a kicked puppy, on the verge of crying.
The old man reached the girl and raised his foot, “Lass, you killed my men, so I can’t let you go like the rest. Since you’re so obstinate, I’ll crack open that skull of yours before looking for the treasure on your body.”
The old man stomped.
A mighty pressure fell on her face, heralding certain doom.
Chu Qingcheng felt her weakened body growing heavy and her heart sinking.
[Am I going to die? There’s so many things I want to do. I don’t even know my purpose in life so how can I just...]
Boom!
Her eyes closed just as the old man stomped a huge crater in front of her a mile wide.
When the dust settled, the old man shook, his head whipping in another direction and shouting, “State who you are!”
“You don’t need to know it for where you’re going.”
A pitch-black figure appeared in the roaming dust, its voice eerie and chilling. Even these criminals used to getting their hands dirty felt their hearts seizing from the hellish feeling...
