Chapter 1420: Chapter 147: Beauty Returns to the Heart_2
Moon Scar dismissed the surrounding mercenaries and recounted the whole situation to Overlord. After hearing the story, Overlord couldn’t help but give a wry smile and muttered, "It seems that there are no weaklings around Ah Dai! I was really startled by that purple fire Giant Dragon in the sky on my way back. Such powerful Fire Energy; I definitely couldn’t withstand it myself. Kino indeed possesses the strength of a Magus, to be able to stop such strong Magic Attacks with his own power. No wonder he was drained."
What else could Moon Scar say now? Kino’s performance had proven everything to him. Such a powerful Magician is truly rare to find across the entire continent. Having him as his brother-in-law was completely satisfying, at least Yue Ji wouldn’t be wronged following him.
A day later, Kino gradually woke up from his coma. Yesterday’s overload had caused significant damage to his spiritual power, and his entire body constantly pulsed with throbbing pain. Slowly opening his eyes, the first thing he saw was a head of red hair. Yue Ji was laying beside his bed, deeply asleep. Seeing Yue Ji, Kino immediately felt relieved and surveyed the surroundings.
This was a small cottage, not very spacious. Every arrangement in the room was warmly pink, making it look very comfortable. Kino had a thought, this looked like a girl’s room, could it be Yue Ji’s boudoir? A surge of joy welled up in his heart. Being able to enter her room meant Yue Ji might already have feelings for him. With this thought, an excited Kino couldn’t help but reach out to touch Yue Ji’s long hair. As his arm moved, it aggravated the injury in his channels, causing intense pain that made him groan.
Yue Ji’s delicate body trembled and she woke up from her sleep, "Ah! You’re awake, how are you feeling? Better?"
Kino barely calmed the pain inside him and looked at Yue Ji with a face full of concern, muttering, "As long as I can be with you, I’m not afraid of any injuries."
Yue Ji gently tapped on Kino’s head and said, "Stop talking nonsense, just lie down properly. It’s all my fault yesterday for not stopping you from fighting Miao Fei and the others sooner, which led to your injuries."
Kino gave a bitter smile, "Actually, you can’t be blamed; it was my impulsiveness. If I hadn’t used such a large spell, I should have been able to control it easily."
Yue Ji’s expression was unusually tender, and she softly said, "Rest for a while, I’ll go make you something to eat." With that, she turned and walked out. Stopping at the doorway, she turned back to look at Kino, who was captivated by her, her cheeks blushing, "You take good care of yourself, once your injuries are healed, I’ll go with you to the Empire of Tian Jing." After saying that, she quickly ran out. Having heard Kino’s words before fainting yesterday, Yue Ji had thoroughly understood; marrying someone who genuinely liked and could protect her was definitely a blissful thing. Moreover, Kino had already deeply entered her heart.
Watching the spot where Yue Ji disappeared, with the words she said before leaving echoing in his ears, Kino, though simple-minded, could understand the affection they contained. He blissfully thought: This injury is totally worth it! I have finally moved Yue Ji’s heart. It’s great; I’m finally going to succeed. If she is so tender even when I’m injured, I’d rather not recover at all.
While Kino was lost in his reverie, Yan Shi and Zhuo Yun had also arrived at the foot of the main peak of Tian Gang Mountain. Yesterday, they had just parted ways with Olivia who went along the edges of Tian Gang Mountain to save time, passing directly through Tian Gang Province to the headquarters of the Guild in the Province of Light. Yan Shi and Zhuo Yun directly entered Tian Gang Mountain, using Yan Shi’s memory, they slowly climbed up the mountain paths, finally reaching here this morning.
Zhuo Yun took off the cloak wrapped around her and handed it to Yan Shi, spreading her transparent wings and soared up, "Yan Shi, this place is remote, I guess I don’t need to hide my identity anymore, right?"
Yan Shi grinned helplessly, "As you wish. The air here in Tian Gang Mountain is so fresh! It feels comfortable just like being in your Elf Forest."
Zhuo Yun hovered in the air, breathing in the refreshing mountain air, and spoke with a content tone, "The air here is indeed good, but it’s a pity that the altitude is too high, not quite suitable for us Elves to live."
Yan Li chuckled, "Sister-in-law, we Pu Yan clan also have many beautifully scenic places, and the altitude isn’t high. When the time comes, just let my brother find a place you like, won’t that be fine?"
Zhuo Yun blushed and glared at Yan Li, "I’m not officially married to him yet, don’t call me sister-in-law."
Yan Li laughed, "It’s just a matter of time, sister-in-law, are you still shy? Do you need to review my brother again? My brother is so excellent, there’s no need for that."
Yan Shi didn’t refute Yan Li’s words but just tenderly watched Zhuo Yun’s graceful flight. Zhuo Yun flew to Yan Shi’s back, laying on his broad back, "Ah Li is teasing me, and you’re not helping me, your punishment is to carry me."
Yan Shi laughed, "Carrying, carrying my wife is naturally the right thing to do." Ever since he abandoned all hesitations and confirmed his relationship with Zhuo Yun, Yan Shi had been unusually happy. If he could properly settle affairs for Ah Dai, he would have no more concerns.
