Chapter 123: Chapter 29: The Killer Reveals Himself_4
Ah Dai moved back beside Xuan Yue. Xuan Yue whispered, "So, he still feels bad, eh?"
Ah Dai nodded, "Indeed. The depth of Yan Shi and his wife’s relationship is truly profound! It might take some time for him to recover. We should be more caring towards him."
Xuan Yue handed Ah Dai a few steamed buns, "Here, eat. I’ve already given some to everyone."
Ah Dai was confused, "When did you get these steamed buns, I didn’t see?"
Xuan Yue laughed, "Don’t you remember? I was the last one to come down from the carriage. Ah, right! On a proper occasion, I must teach you how to use the basic method of harnessing Dragon’s Blood. That way, you can carry your own steamed buns and spare me the trouble. However, when you use Dragon’s Blood, best avoid the others, after all, it’s a divine artifact." Xuan Yue’s perception of Ah Dai changed greatly after they left the Pu Yan tribe. Whenever she recalled Ah Dai protecting her at the temple, she would involuntarily reveal a smile. She found herself gradually feeling more for the naive Ah Dai.
Ah Dai took a bite of a steamed bun, "Sure, I also want to know the uses of Dragon’s Blood, you can tell me now."
Xuan Yue looked at Moon Scar and others resting at the side, and whispered: "I can teach you, but then, you tell me, what is that evil thing Prophet Pu Lin mentioned about you?"
Ah Dai was taken aback, and he reluctantly shook his head, "You’re better off not knowing it now, perhaps you will see it someday."
Xuan Yue pouted, "No, I want you to tell me now. Don’t worry, I will not tell anyone, I promise."
Xuan Yue’s coy behavior was extraordinarily charming, causing Ah Dai to become slightly infatuated, he muttered, "Are you really not going to tell anyone? Including your father?"
Xuan Yue nodded solemnly, "Hurry up and tell me. I, Xuan Yue, always keep my word. I know that thing of yours is not presentable, I promise that I won’t tell anyone, not even the people in the church. Is that enough? Whisper it in my ear."
The experience in Tilu Temple had greatly improved Ah Dai’s impression of Xuan Yue. Subconsciously, he had come to view Xuan Yue as his best friend. He carefully looked around, then whispered, "This sword was given to me by my uncle. He told me not to tell anyone because this sword is too evil, it’s called the Sword of Hades."
Xuan Yue was shocked at hearing the term ’Sword of Hades,’ she exclaimed, "What? Had...," but before she could finish her sentence, Ah Dai covered her mouth. Ah Dai hurriedly said, "What are you doing? You promised not to say anything."
The shock in Xuan Yue’s eyes gradually faded. She pointed at Ah Dai’s hand that was covering her mouth. Realizing the warm and smooth sensation under his hand, Ah Dai noticed the elasticity of Xuan Yue’s skin, particularly her tender, rosy cheeks and moist lips. His face reddened, and he quickly removed his hand, apologizing awkwardly, "Sorry, Yue Yue."
Xuan Yue took a few deep breaths, "Annoying, were you trying to suffocate me?"
Their commotion attracted the attention of Moon Scar and others. Miao Fei, somewhat envious, said, "Ah Dai, don’t bully Xuan Yue! If you do, we won’t let you off."
Yue Ji giggled, "Miao Fei, why should it matter to you if they flirt? Are you jealous?"
Xuan Yue’s face turned red, she nudged Ah Dai, "It’s all your fault, now they’re making fun of us. You owe me, tell me how you plan to compensate."
The naive Ah Dai was immediately dumbfounded and stared at Xuan Yue, "I.. I am already your follower, how else do you want me to compensate?"
Wan Li laughed out loud, "Why don’t you give yourself to her as compensation?"
Xuan Yue’s face turned even redder. She angrily said to Wan Li, "Fine! Now you’re also making fun of me." She waved her magic wand, and a small ball of light swiftly flew towards Wan Li. Just as he was about to defend himself, the light ball exploded right next to him, leaving a small crater in the ground. The soil and grass fragments flew all over Wan Li. Scared, he quickly tried to appease, "Miss Magician, I was wrong, I dare not! Ah Dai, you better compensate her quickly, or else, she might really get angry."
Ah Dai wryly smiled, "I really can’t do anything about it! I don’t know with what to compensate her."
Xuan Yue snorted, "If you don’t know how to compensate now, you can owe it to me. I’ll remind you when the time comes." She pulled Ah Dai to her side and whispered, "Was what you said earlier true? Do you really have the Sword of Hades?"
Ah Dai subconsciously touched his chest and nodded, "Yes! My uncle left it to me."
Though Xuan Yue was still young, she’d heard of the Sword Technique: Heaven Earth Shaker, the legend of how ’Nether King’ alarmed ghosts and gods. Even though the church had never confronted the mainland’s top assassin ’Nether King’, the Pope had already issued an order a long time ago. If any ordained personnel found out ’Nether King’s’ whereabouts, they were to immediately inform the church. Her father once told her that the most terrifying person in the Assassin’s Guild wasn’t the mysterious Guild Master, but the ’Nether King’ who wielded the Sword of Hades. The Sword of Hades was discovered by the third generation Pope, and the evil power it contains exceeds everything on the mainland. The current Pope once mentioned that the Sword of Hades can be considered the prime evil, incomparable even to an ordinary divine artifact. Xuan Yue couldn’t believe that this supremely evil object from the legend was in the possession of the naive Ah Dai. From the surface, Ah Dai never seemed like an evil person, so why was he able to use this supremely evil Sword of Hades? Suppressing her astonishment, Xuan Yue maintained her low tone, "So the Uncle who gave you the Sword of Hades is the mainland’s top assassin ’Nether King’. Where is he now? Why did he give the Sword of Hades to you?"
