Chapter 1159: Chapter 91 Xuan Yue? Xuan Re?_2
Stroking Ah Dai’s black short hair, Xuan Yue’s heart gradually calmed down. She silently decided never to part from Ah Dai again and murmured, "Ah Dai, it’s been three years. We’ve been separated for three years. Do you still remember Yue Yue? Yue Yue has missed you so much! Ah Dai, have you been doing well these past three years? You must have suffered a lot. Yue Yue has now cultivated formidable Holy Magic. With me by your side from now on, I won’t let you get hurt again so easily. Ah Dai, can you understand my feelings for you?" Her infatuated voice echoed continuously in the air, as Xuan Yue gazed affectionately at Ah Dai cradled in her arms.
...
Such warmth, such a comfortable feeling! Could it be that I’m dead? Is Hell really this comfortable? Ah Dai gradually woke up, the warmth soothing his frail body.
Suddenly, Ah Dai smelled a faint fragrance, so familiar.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw that it was already night. The surrounding fog was thick, obscuring further view. Not far in front of him, a campfire was burning. Beside the fire, Sheng Xie was sweetly asleep. Ah! It seems I’m not dead after all. He felt as though he was resting on something soft and couldn’t help but look up, only to realize he was actually resting on someone’s thigh. Recollecting the recent events, just when he was about to be destroyed by that black energy, a golden light had blocked the attack. Before the light appeared, it seemed a familiar voice had shouted "No."
Ah Dai composed himself and discovered that some True Qi had been restored within his body. Instinctively sitting up, he focused his gaze on the person beside him. A face he seemed to know caught his eye. He was originally resting on the thigh of a young man who appeared somewhat frail, dressed in a Ritual Robe of the church, with long blue hair tied back, and a two-finger-wide blue band across his forehead. With eyes closed, his long eyelashes rested on his eyelids as he slept leaned against the tree trunk behind him. A faint smile that seemed to display happiness crossed his handsome face. This handsome face was so familiar, yet Ah Dai clearly knew he recognized no young man from the church other than Xuan Yue. Who is he? Why did he save my life? Forget it, no matter what, since he saved me, he must not be an enemy, Ah Dai thought, feeling a trace of gratitude in his heart. He sat cross-legged opposite the young man and began to meditate.
In the early morning, Xuan Yue woke up first, not knowing when she had fallen asleep the night before. She opened her eyes and saw that Ah Dai, who had been resting on her legs, was now sitting opposite her meditating. Ah! He must have seen me. Her face flushed, her heartbeat quickening, she thought to herself, wondering if he had recognized her last night. If he saw through her disguise, should she admit it? No, she couldn’t admit it. Having been apart for so long, who knew if he had forgotten her? Better to tease him with another identity first, and if he genuinely liked her, then she would tell him the truth. After all, how could Ah Dai recognize her? Ah Dai was inherently simple, and in these three years, Xuan Yue had undergone great changes, maturing a lot in appearance and growing several inches taller, in addition to being disguised as a man. Even if Ah Dai was very smart, it wouldn’t be easy for him to recognize her. Xuan Yue was truly overthinking it.
Watching the faint white light emitting from Ah Dai’s body, Xuan Yue clearly sensed Ah Dai’s strength. It turns out that his skills had also improved so much in three years!
After a night’s cultivation, Ah Dai’s Silver Body finally returned to its original state. He exhaled deeply and, even before opening his eyes, felt a piercing gaze from across him. He instinctively protected his body with True Qi, then opened his eyes. The previous sneak attacks indeed made Ah Dai more cautious.
The first thing he saw was a pair of clear blue eyes directly staring at him. Upon seeing him open his eyes, those blue eyes flinched. Ah Dai looked intently, and there, in front of him, was the young Ritual Robe-clad man.
The two exchanged their first gaze in three years and couldn’t help but feel somewhat awkward. For a long moment, they just stared at each other, neither speaking.
"Umm—" Sheng Xie’s moaning sound awoke them from their daze, and they turned simultaneously to look in Sheng Xie’s direction, only to see his massive body comfortably turning over and going back to sleep.
Ah Dai shook his head helplessly and said, "You’ve slept so long already, haven’t you had enough sleep?" He turned back to look at the familiar and comforting face of the young man before him, feeling much more relaxed. Tentatively, he asked, "Hello, was it you who saved me yesterday?"
Xuan Yue looked at Ah Dai’s naive expression and couldn’t help but feel amused. Although he hadn’t recognized her, easing her nerves somewhat, a hint of disappointment also crossed her mind. She nodded slightly, deliberately deepening her voice, and said, "Yes, it was fortunate that I arrived on time yesterday, otherwise, you would have been in danger. Who were those people yesterday? Why did they want to kill you?"
Ah Dai showed a look of gratitude and sincerely said, "Thank you. Those were Assassins from the Assassin’s Guild yesterday. I didn’t expect them to be so powerful. My name is Ah Dai, may I ask..."
