Chapter 431: Chapter 92 Contradictory Psychology _2
Xuan Yue followed silently beside Ah Dai, her mind constantly lingering on the portrait in Ah Dai’s hand from earlier. Just who is this girl named Bing? Why was Ah Dai so fixated on her? Had they already...? Shakily shaking her head, Xuan Yue cast the doubts from her mind. When she hadn’t seen Ah Dai, she yearned to see him. But after seeing him, why was she still so distraught? Ah Dai! Don’t let Yue Yue be disappointed!
Ah Dai turned his head to look at Xuan Yue and took her hand. "Brother, let me lead the way. The visibility here isn’t good and there are many branching paths. Besides, my teacher set traps here. If you get lost, it wouldn’t be easy for me to find you." As he held Xuan Yue’s cool small hand in his own, Ah Dai quivered slightly. The soft and delicate hand felt so familiar. He started recalling the time he held Xuan Yue’s hand. "Ah, what’s wrong with me? He’s Yue Yue’s brother! Why would he feel this way?" Subconsciously, Ah Dai’s face began to redden.
Xuan Yue’s heart fluttered like a small deer, her body slightly trembling. Ever since Bah Buli’s provocation reminded her of Ah Dai, how much had she longed for him to hold her hand again! In this moment, her wish was finally fulfilled, although Ah Dai still didn’t know her true identity, she was satisfied. The discomfort from Bing’s sudden appearance was swiftly dissipated by the warmth of Ah Dai’s hand. Xuan Yue kept silent, walking close beside Ah Dai as they made their way into the depths of the Forest.
As the two of them held their own thoughts, they continued their journey in silence. Eventually, under Ah Dai’s guidance, they made their way through heavy mists to reach a wooden house. Looking at the mist-veiled house that felt dream-like, Xuan Yue was deeply moved, she couldn’t help but exclaim, "This place is so beautiful!"
Ah Dai sighed, "Yes! This is the place I miss the most. When Goris first brought me here, I fell deeply in love with this peaceful place. There may not be much sunlight here, but it’s peaceful and quiet. The elegant environment is what I love the most. After I seek revenge for Uncle Owen, I will surely settle here, living the rest of my life peacefully."
Xuan Yue wanted to ask Ah Dai, "If you settle here, what about my sister?" But looking at Ah Dai’s desolate look, she couldn’t muster the words.
Ah Dai turned to Sheng Xie. "Xiao Qie, you rest here in the courtyard. Big Brother will fetch some food for you in a bit. This is our home, so don’t break anything."
Sheng Xie looked at the surroundings with a sense of fascination, nodding and looking around.
Ah Dai led Xuan Yue into his room. Although the room was simply decorated, it was spotlessly clean thanks to Ah Dai’s efforts. Xuan Yue felt a hint of warmth in her heart. How wonderful it would be if she could live here with Ah Dai for a long time! Such a beautiful environment, together with the person she loves, would be such a marvelous thing.
Ah Dai let go of Xuan Yue’s hand. "Brother Xuan Re, please sit for a while. I will go gather some fruits to eat. There’s not much in the forest, but there’s plenty of fruits. I bet you’ve eaten many delicacies in the Cathedral, having a change of taste here isn’t a bad idea." He then carefully put the book on the table, picked up a basket, and left to gather fruits.
Xuan Yue looked around the spacious wooden house, the fresh air flowing in from the windows was refreshing. This is where Ah Dai had been living! Amidst the hazy mists, it was like a dreamland, so beautiful. Even compared to the Elf Forest, although it lacked elegance, it was more mysterious.
After a while, Ah Dai returned with a basket full of varied fruits. He placed the fruits on the clean table and smiled, "Here, try some. You could consider yourself the first guest of the Illusive Forest. These fruits can’t be found anywhere else. I have to go get some food for Sheng Xie." After speaking, he left the wooden hut, leaving behind Xuan Yue who looked slightly startled.
Sheng Xie had an enormous appetite, it took him ten baskets of fruit to finally satiate him. Ah Dai stood beside Sheng Xie, watching him finish the last basket of fruits and said bitterly, "Xiao Qie, at this eating pace, I’m afraid it won’t take you long to finish all the fruits in the fruit forest."
"Big Brother, the fruits here are so delicious! They are not just sweet, but each fruit seems to contain some energy. My body hasn’t completely recovered, this is just right to replenish nutrition. Ah, I’m so sleepy! I feel so comfortable after eating, Big Brother, Xiao Qie wants to sleep now." Having had limited contact with the outside world since birth, although dragons were highly intelligent creatures, Sheng Xie still approached the world with the wisdom of a child.
The telepathic contact was interrupted as Sheng Xie curled up in the courtyard in front of the wooden house and closed his golden eyes, falling into deep sleep. Ah Dai could only shake his head helplessly. Looking at Sheng Xie’s familiar sleeping face, a content smile appeared on his face. Having Sheng Xie’s company was much better than living alone, not to mention there was also Yue Yue’s brother now.
Returning to the room, Ah Dai saw Xuan Yue flipping through the books. He smiled and said, "Brother Xuan Re, I haven’t thanked you yet for bringing me news about Yue Yue."
