Chapter 435: Chapter 93 Divine Artifact Use_1
Xuan Yue allowed Ah Dai to hold her slender and fair hand, walking beside him, her heart filled with sweetness. The two entered the fruit orchard, in the hazy mist, gem-like fruits appeared in their sight, luminous and translucent. Ah Dai smiled and said, "Look, there are dozens of kinds of fruits here. Many of them are the same color and look similar, but their tastes can be very different. Some are even poisonous. You see this one, this purple fruit that looks like a gourd, is the king of the fruits here. Teacher named it Purple Dew. Not only is it delicious, but it also revitalises your vitality. We can just pick two for our meal. And you see this one, this is Jade Peach, although not as sweet as the Purple Dew, it is also refreshing and has its own unique flavor..."
Xuan Yue quietly listened to Ah Dai introducing one fruit after another. At this moment, he was like the master of the orchard, introducing the fruits with such ease. Since meeting Ah Dai again, it was only now that he showed a happy expression.
"Big Brother Ah Dai, stop picking. These should be enough for us. Don’t you see how beautiful these fruits are hanging on the tree? It would be wasteful to pick more." she remarked.
Only then did Ah Dai realize that the basket was already filled. He looked at Xuan Yue and said, "Brother Xuan Re, I don’t know why, but I feel very relaxed when I’m with you. Ever since I found out about the death of Teacher Goris, this is the first time I’ve felt this kind of happiness, I truly must thank you."
Xuan Yue felt the warmth of Ah Dai’s palm and her heart skipped a beat as her face flushed. "What are you thanking for? Aren’t we already friends? We should be able to bring happiness to each other!"
"Yes! Friends should bring joy to each other. I wonder how Yan Shi and the others are doing? Brother, do you know anything about Yan Shi and the others?"
Xuan Yue nodded and replied, "Of course I do, didn’t I tell you that Yue Yue had told me everything about you guys?"
Ah Dai said, "Yan Shi and Yan Li have always been very genuine people. Since there’s no rush to seek revenge, after we leave here, let’s go visit the Pu Yan tribe. I haven’t seen them for a year, they must be delighted to see me. It’s just a pity..." His voice paused, as a touch of loneliness spread across his face, seemingly evading something.
"What’s a pity?" Xuan Yue asked.
Ah Dai shook his head, "Never mind. Let’s go back. We should rest after eating some fruits. I don’t know why but for the past year, I’ve grown to love sleeping. I used to cultivate continually, often staying awake for days. Perhaps, I was influenced by Xiao Qie." In reality, what he wanted to say was, it’s a pity that Yue Yue could not accompany him.
Xuan Yue nodded and followed Ah Dai. Yes, since completing the divine baptism, she had not slept at all. She spent all her time contemplating. The joy of seeing Ah Dai again had loosened her mind and body. How wonderful it felt to be with him!
It was not until the cabin appeared in front of them that Ah Dai let go of Xuan Yue’s hand. Returning to the room, they shared the fruits picked. Xuan Yue only ate three, the rest were devoured by Ah Dai.
"Brother, let’s sleep. From tomorrow, you will guide me in using the Divine Artifact."
Xuan Yue was stunned for a moment, and her face turned red immediately. Was he asking her to sleep with him? But, but.
Even with her deep feelings for Ah Dai, Xuan Yue couldn’t help feeling shy in such an awkward situation. She murmured, "Big Brother Ah Dai, I’m not used to sleeping with others. Aren’t there two more rooms here? I’ll go to sleep somewhere else."
Ah Dai was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "What are you afraid of, we’re both men? This is the only room available for sleeping. One of the other rooms is a lab, which is not suitable for living. And another one." He paused a bit, a hint of sadness spread in the air. He was still struggling with the pain of longing for his teacher. He sighed and said, "The other room was Teacher Goris’ bedroom. I want to keep that room for him. So, we can’t stay there as well."
Xuan Yue walked over to the saddened Ah Dai and said in a low voice, "Big brother, don’t be so sad. Isn’t Goris’s wish still here with you? If your teacher sees you so distraught over him, he might not feel good. This is what we will do, you sleep in the room, and I will sleep outside. How about that?"
Ah Dai’s sorrow lightened a bit by Xuan Yue’s words, "That won’t do, you’re my guest. How can I let you sleep outside in the cold night? How about this, you sleep on the bed, and I will sleep on the floor. I still want to ask you some things about Yue Yue."
With a faint blush on her face, Xuan Yue replied, "How could I make the situation awkward for you? You said that the nights here are very cold, right?"
Ah Dai, who didn’t notice the change in Xuan Yue’s expression, turned the basket over on the ground, and said, "Cold would be for you, mages are weak. I don’t care. I am protected by True Qi, cold can’t do me any harm. Now, go to bed. The blanket that Teacher Goris prepared for me is very warm. I just washed it the day before yesterday, it’s very clean." After saying this, he lay down flat on the floor, using the basket as a pillow.
