Chapter 1318: Chapter 126 Yue Ji Joins
Watching the determined expression on Ah Dai’s face, Xuan Yue couldn’t help but be mesmerized. Ah Dai had changed, starting from today’s battle with the Overlord Mercenary Group, everything he exhibited was different from before. This, this was all caused by herself! Now, Ah Dai was less dull, more profound and more composed. His originally restrained aura seemed much more pronounced. But, was this really what she wished to see? Did she like this version of Ah Dai? Xuan Yue’s heart was filled with complex emotions; she hoped Ah Dai would become stronger, yet yearned for his simplicity to remain unchanged. But now, Ah Dai had changed, transformed into someone she barely recognized.
The next morning, Ah Dai awoke from his meditation. True Qi itself had a strong healing ability; after a night of cultivation, his internal injuries were completely healed. Taking a deep breath and feeling the surging True Qi inside him, Ah Dai felt a refreshing sense of relief. He floated down from the bed, and turned his eyes to Xuan Yue still in meditation. Enveloped in a golden light, she now had a pair of Wings of Light added to her back compared to before. The pale golden light gently flapped as it struck, and with every motion, Ah Dai could feel the Light elements in the air converging towards her. Ah Dai inwardly sighed, although his body contained the True Qi passed down from his grandmaster, his progress was not faster than that of the Xuan brothers. When he first met Xuan Re, he was just a Light Magus, but now, he definitely possessed a capacity not inferior to the priests of Xuan Ye. Comparing their strengths, it was hard to say who was more powerful. Perhaps only with the help of Sheng Xie or the Sword of Hades would he have a sure chance to beat him. Just the Xuan brothers alone were already so formidable, then how terrifying must the Pope’s strength be? Channeling the True Qi inside him, Ah Dai let out a soft hum in his attempt to wake Xuan Yue, mindful that she could stop her meditation at any time without disturbance. The sky had already turned a dusky light; Ah Dai knew, if he delayed further, people like Moon Scar might persuade him to stay, so they had better slip away while everyone else was still deep in sleep.
Xuan Yue slowly ceased her meditation upon hearing Ah Dai’s voice, emerging from her depths of her thoughts and opening her eyes, looking at Ah Dai with concern, "Big brother, how are your injuries? Are you alright?"
Ah Dai smiled and said, "Don’t worry, I’m fine now. Brother, we need to leave soon, otherwise, considering how enthusiastic Moon Scar and the others were last night, once discovered, it would be difficult to leave."
Seeing that Ah Dai’s injuries had healed, Xuan Yue let out a sigh of relief, floating down from the bed and arranging her blue long hair, and said, "Big brother, you go wake up Olivia and Kino first."
Watching Xuan Yue combing her hair, Ah Dai couldn’t help being mesmerized again, murmuring, "Brother, sometimes I really think you’re a girl? You look so beautiful when you comb your hair!"
Xuan Yue was startled, her face flushing red as she feigned anger, "Big brother, what nonsense are you saying? Complimenting a man for being beautiful is a huge insult, let’s go, otherwise I’ll strike you with my Light Blade."
Ah Dai laughed, "Brother, you can’t blame me for what I said! You look even more like a girl when you get lightly angry. Alright, alright, I’ll stop. I’ll go call them first." Saying this, Ah Dai hurried out of the room before Xuan Yue’s Light Blade could strike. Watching Ah Dai’s retreating figure, Xuan Yue’s heart rate quickened, covering her flushed face, she pondered inwardly, what should she do? Did Ah Dai discover her identity? No, she couldn’t let him know! If he realized that she had been showing her love for him these past few days, she would be utterly embarrassed.
Half an hour later, the four of them were quietly walking on the streets of Varo City, having stealthily exited the headquarters of the Moon Scar Mercenary Group without alerting anyone. Before leaving, Ah Dai and Xuan Yue left a letter for Moon Scar and the others stating that due to urgent matters they couldn’t stay for long, asking for their forgiveness and promising to visit them if there was a chance in the future.
Xuan Yue still had a stern face, not talking to anyone; Ah Dai didn’t dare to provoke her, knowing that she was angry because he had described her as girlish. At this moment, staying close to her, he didn’t know how to properly explain himself. Feeling the awkward atmosphere between Ah Dai and Xuan Yue, Olivia and Kino fell into silence as well. Just after leaving the Moon Scar Mercenary Group headquarters, Kino was constantly looking back every three steps, not even responding to Olivia’s teasing. In this somewhat awkward atmosphere, the four of them left Varo City, heading northeast towards Red Hurricane City.
Due to Kino’s presence, they could not travel too fast and moved slowly. Suddenly, Kino stopped, turning his head to look at the faintly discernible Varo City in the distance, sighing, he thought to himself, farewell, Miss Yue Ji, wondering whether they would ever meet again in this lifetime.
Although they had only been together for two days, Kino’s heart was firmly bound to Yue Ji, unable to detach itself. Each of Yue Ji’s smiles and frowns was deeply imprinted in his mind. For some reason, Kino particularly loved seeing Yue Ji get angry.
Just as Kino was about to turn around and catch up with Ah Dai and the others, he suddenly spotted a red figure swiftly approaching their direction. The figure was familiar; as it gradually drew closer, Kino’s mouth dropped open, because the red figure was none other than Yue Ji, the person he couldn’t let go from his heart.
