Chapter 823: Chapter 21 Hades Evil Sword_4
Ah Dai wanted to move forward to help but was stopped by Xuan Yue, with the reason being, "You don’t know anything, so why join the bustle?"
After setting up the tents, Moon Scar walked over and smiled, "Miss Xuan Yue, you’ll have to rough it out tonight. You and my younger sister will have to share a tent. Although it’s a bit cramped, at least it will keep out the wind and rain. Brother Ah Dai, you’ll bunk with me. We’re both not small, but if we squeeze a bit, we should be able to make it through the night."
Xuan Yue pursed her lips and said, "No way, who wants to sleep with her? I’m used to sleeping by myself. Find another tent for me." When she mentioned her habit of sleeping alone, she stole a glance at Ah Dai and couldn’t help remembering the comfort of sleeping in Ah Dai’s arms that day, a blush unwittingly rising on her pretty face.
Moon Scar was taken aback and said with difficulty, "But there are only four tents. How shall we divide them up?"
Xuan Yue said, "Isn’t that easy? You go bunk with that big guy, Wan Li, and give me your tent. Let Ah Dai sleep with your sister. Isn’t that settled?" She said this deliberately to embarrass Yue Ji. She still remembered how Yue Ji challenged her yesterday, and she was a bit resentful, not to mention that Yue Ji’s looks were not bad, and her figure was... As a woman, she couldn’t help feeling some jealousy.
Moon Scar exclaimed, "What? That won’t do, my sister is a girl."
Ah Dai was also startled and said, "No, no, I, I can just sleep outside. No tent needed."
Xuan Yue pouted, "Look how cowardly you are. That day, weren’t you still..." She was about to say that day you still slept with me, but she caught herself just in time; her face had already turned bright red, her heartbeat accelerated, and she glanced at Ah Dai, muttering, "Do whatever you want then. I don’t care, I want to sleep by myself."
At this time, Yue Ji walked over. To everyone’s surprise, she only glared at Xuan Yue and then walked cheerfully to Ah Dai’s side, saying, "Am I so scary? What’s so bad about sleeping with me?"
Ah Dai was instantly scared stiff and awkwardly said, "No, no, Mage Kigg said, ’Men and women keep their distance; we shouldn’t sleep together.’"
Hearing Ah Dai’s words, Yue Ji burst into laughter, her laughter as sweet and pleasant as silver bells, "What are you talking about, little brother? Have you just entered society? Looks like your sister is going to have to teach you a lesson in the future."
Moon Scar frowned and said, "Yue Ji, stop teasing brother Ah Dai. Let me and brother Ah Dai share a tent tonight, Wan Li brother and Miao Fei will share another. That should do it."
Yue Ji ignored her brother’s rebuke and leaned into Ah Dai’s ear to whisper, "Do you really not want to sleep with me at all?"
Yue Ji’s breath, fragrant as orchids, blew onto Ah Dai’s Mage Robe. He could clearly feel the warm sweetness and his body seemed to have frozen entirely. He sidestepped and said, "No desire, no desire. I, I need to go relieve myself." With that, he turned head and ran towards the nearby woods.
Watching Ah Dai run away in fright, Yue Ji laughed loudly. She teased Ah Dai not because she had any special feelings for him, but because she thought that Ah Dai and Xuan Yue must have some special relationship. And since she couldn’t provoke Xuan Yue’s terrifying magic, she could only provoke Ah Dai to annoy Xuan Yue. But after teasing Ah Dai for a while, Xuan Yue didn’t react at all, only eagerly watched Moon Scar’s tent being set up. Yue Ji thought to herself, ’What exactly is their relationship? Could it really be just normal friendship?’
Moon Scar glared at his sister disapprovingly and said, "Rein yourself in. Ah Dai brother is so honest, don’t bully him."
Yue Ji, feigning aggrievement, said, "How am I bullying him? Can’t a girl educate a young boy?"
Moon Scar sighed helplessly and said, "You, try not to cause me any trouble. I’ll go light a fire and roast some provisions so we can eat and rest. We need to hit the road early tomorrow."
It took a good half a day before Ah Dai returned from the thicket. In the center of the four tents, a pile of firewood had been gathered, obviously just picked up by the others. Moon Scar and Miao Fei were crouched nearby, striking a flint to ignite the firewood, but perhaps due to the moist air, they had yet to succeed. Wan Li was sitting off to the side, wiping his Heavy Sword, while Yue Ji fiddled with her bowstring, with Xuan Yue nowhere to be seen.
Seeing no trace of Xuan Yue, Ah Dai became anxious. He quickly approached Moon Scar and asked, "Brother Moon Scar, where’s Xuan Yue?"
Before Moon Scar could reply, Xuan Yue’s voice rang out, "You’re looking for me now, eh? I’m preparing food for you. Don’t you want to eat Steamed Buns? Come here. I have something to tell you."
Ah Dai followed the sound and saw Xuan Yue poking her head out from Moon Scar’s tent, gesturing with a Steamed Bun in her hand. Seeing Xuan Yue, Ah Dai finally breathed a sigh of relief. He hurried to the front of the tent and crouched down, asking, "Miss Xuan Yue, what is it?"
Xuan Yue glared at him with dissatisfaction and said, "You become so cold after just a few words. Here, have a Steamed Bun, alright?" For Xuan Yue, this was practically an indirect way of apologizing.
Ah Dai took the Steamed Bun and replied, "I’m a simpleton; I’m not cold. It’s just that I’m afraid that saying too much might annoy you. If there’s nothing else, I’ll get going."
Xuan Yue snorted, "You really are simple enough. Oh, and don’t tell them about my Phoenix’s Blood, that’s my secret, okay? Look." As she spoke, she lifted the tent flap and took out more than a dozen Steamed Buns in a cloth bag, "This is dinner for tonight."
