Chapter 1062: Chapter 71 Ah Dai’s Heart_2
Ah Dai’s voice trembled as he took one step after another toward the girl in front of him, his quivering voice saying, "Bing, is that you? Bing."
The girl looked at Ah Dai’s hopeful eyes, and for some reason, the firm resolve she had to kill him softened. She furrowed her brows and said, "Who is your Bing? I am the person here to take your life." This girl was the youngest acquirer from the Thieves Guild, the daughter of the Guild’s leader, Mie Feng. After receiving news about Ah Dai, she had quietly slipped out of the Guild and followed Ah Dai and his group for several days. Finally, she had figured out the direction they were traveling and took the opportunity in this secluded place to kill Ah Dai and avenge her uncle. But she didn’t expect that Ah Dai’s power would be vastly different from what it was in the Elf Forest; even though he didn’t use the Sword of Hades, he still didn’t give her any advantage.
Ah Dai, looking at the girl before him whose temperament was almost identical to Bing’s, felt a surge of longing that he himself didn’t fully understand. He wasn’t as deeply engraved in his heart for Bing as he was for Xuan Yue, but Bing’s death had left a deep imprint in his heart, his greatest regret. Bing had died for him, having saved his life twice. Even though Bing had suffered humiliation, in Ah Dai’s heart, she was pure. Now, with the girl in front of him resembling a resurrected Bing, how could he not be excited?
Mie Feng knew that she could not kill Ah Dai today no matter what. She let out a cold snort and her body suddenly drifted backward. Seeing Mie Feng’s attempt to leave, Ah Dai shouted, "Bing, don’t leave me!" His figure surged forward, subconsciously using the Life Continuation technique. The Golden Body Radiance shone forth from his dantian, while the Yellow Battle Aura silk from the Life Continuation technique turned into fine threads that floated towards Mie Feng’s delicate body.
Mie Feng was startled. She interlaced her short blades to form a tight defensive web. However, Ah Dai had no intention to hurt her. The Battle Aura silk carried only soft energy; the yellow energy threads wafted with the short blades’ dance, not only failing to be repelled by Mie Feng but instead covering every spot around her. Mie Feng felt her body tense up, completely bound by the Battle Aura silk and unable to move.
Ah Dai floated to her and landed in front of Mie Feng, tears streaming down his face as he tightly hugged her and murmured, "Bing, Bing, don’t leave me again. Stay with me, okay?"
Within the warmth of Ah Dai’s embrace, Mie Feng’s body stiffened completely. Aside from her father, this was the first time she had been held by a man. The masculine aura emanating from Ah Dai caused her a fierce tremor in her heart, and feeling his intense emotions, she stood frozen in place, her mind a blank.
The Yan brothers ran over, with Yan Shi pulling Ah Dai away. He had seen everything clearly; this girl who resembled Bing wanted Ah Dai’s life! How could he let Ah Dai mistake her for Bing? With a slap, Yan Shi hit Ah Dai’s face, sending him reeling back three steps as he angrily said, "Ah Dai, see clearly, she’s not Bing! She’s here to kill you, do you not want to live?" As Ah Dai was knocked back by Yan Shi, his mind became chaotic, and his control over the Life Continuation technique naturally dissipated. Mie Feng felt a lift on her body, and the entwining Yellow Battle Aura silk instantly vanished. She glared at Ah Dai and, before Yan Li’s large hand could reach her, she swiftly drifted backward, dodging the Magic of Nature vines conjured by Zhuo Yun like a butterfly threading through flowers, and disappeared from everyone’s sight with a few leaps.
Ah Dai stood in place, watching Mie Feng leave, a feeling of loss washing over him. When he had embraced Mie Feng, he already understood that this girl was not Bing. Her face may have been cold, but her body was warm, unlike Bing whose body and heart were both cold. He muttered to himself, "She, she is not Bing, not Bing."
Yan Shi’s eyes flashed with anger as he shouted, "Have you gone mad? To hug a woman who wants to kill you, if your Battle Aura had been even slightly weaker, she would have killed you with one strike. Just now, that clearly was someone from the Thieves Guild. Have you forgotten all that happened in the Elf Forest? You fool, do you have a death wish?"
A sudden jolt went through Ah Dai, and clarity returned to his eyes. Only then did he remember the acquirers he had encountered in the Elf Forest. Yes, those pair of short blades, that mysterious movement technique, that fierce Battle Aura, they were all symbols of the Thieves Guild. What, what’s wrong with me? Why did I act like that?
Yan Shi walked up to Ah Dai, plucked Bing’s portrait from his arms, and threw it onto him, yelling, "Look clearly, this is Bing, the one from before is not."
Ah Dai flinched, hurriedly grasping for the portrait that nearly fell to the ground, crouching down, and carefully held Bing’s portrait. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was undamaged.
Zhuo Yun could no longer stand by and watch. She ran to Ah Dai’s side, pulling his head into her embrace, choking back sobs and saying, "Stop pressuring him, can’t you see how heartbroken he is?" Feeling Zhuo Yun’s tenderness, Ah Dai’s body softened gradually, as tears once again streamed down his eyes. He laid his head in Zhuo Yun’s embrace, weeping loudly. The pent-up emotions of the past month seemed to completely release in that moment, his large frame trembling in Zhuo Yun’s arms as his tears flowed profusely, soaking through her clothes.
