Chapter 86: Chapter 21 Hades’ Evil Sword_4
Ah Dai wanted to help, but Xuan Yue held him back, saying: "You don’t know how to do anything, so there’s no need to get involved."
Moon Scar set up the tent and walked over, smiling and said, "Miss Xuan Yue, you’ll have to endure sharing a tent with my little sister tonight. Although it’ll be a bit cramped, it’s enough to keep out wind and rain. Brother Ah Dai, you’ll share a tent with me. We’re both big guys, so even though it might be a bit tight, we should manage."
Xuan Yue shrugged and said, "No way, who said I wanted to share a tent with her? I’m used to sleeping alone. You should free up a tent for me." When talking about sleeping alone, her gaze inadvertently shifted to Ah Dai, and she couldn’t help but remember the comfort of sleeping nestled in Ah Dai’s arm. Her pretty face blushed slightly.
Moon Scar was taken aback, and asked hesitantly, "But we only have four tents, how do we divide them then?"
Xuan Yue said: "That’s easy. You go sleep with Wan Li’s big guy, and give me your tent. Then Ah Dai and your sister can sleep together. That should do it." She said this with the intention of teasing Yue Ji and belittling her, remembering Yue Ji’s previous provocation. Plus, Yue Ji was also beautiful, not to mention her figure... As a woman, there was inevitably some jealousy.
Moon Scar exclaimed: "What? No way, my sister is a girl."
Ah Dai also jumped in surprise, saying, "No, no, I can sleep outside, I don’t need a tent."
Xuan Yue pursed her lips and mocked: "Look at you, scared of everything. That day, didn’t you..." She wanted to say that he had slept with her that day. Realizing her mistake, she quickly stopped talking. Her face became crimson, and her heart beat faster. She glanced at Ah Dai and mumbled, "Do as you like. In any case, I don’t care; I want to sleep alone."
Yue Ji walked over. Surprisingly, she just glared at Xuan Yue before approaching Ah Dai, grinning, "Am I that scary? What’s wrong with sleeping together?"
Ah Dai was taken aback, hesitatingly saying, "No, no, the great magician Kigg said that boys and girls should not get too intimate, we can’t sleep together."
Hearing Ah Dai’s words, Yue Ji burst out laughing, the sound was melodic like the chiming of a silver bell, "What now, little brother? You must be new to the world! Looks like your big sister needs to give you some lessons."
Moon Scar frowned: "Yue Ji, stop teasing Brother Ah Dai. Let’s sleep in the same tent with Brother Ah Dai tonight, and Brother Wan Li and Miao Fei can share one. This should do."
Yue Ji ignored her brother’s reproach, leaned over to Ah Dai’s ear, and whispered: "Are you really not interested at all in sleeping with me?"
Yue Ji’s fragrant breath lingered on Ah Dai’s mage robe, and he could clearly feel the warm sweet smell. His body had completely stiffened; he dodged a bit, saying: "No, no, I need to... I need to use the restroom." After saying that, he turned and rushed towards the tree grove.
Seeing Ah Dai running off scared, Yue Ji couldn’t help but burst out laughing. She teased Ah Dai not because she was particularly fond of him, but instead, she thought there might be something special between Ah Dai and Xuan Yue. And since she couldn’t provoke Xuan Yue whose magic power terrified her, she could only pick on Ah Dai to annoy Xuan Yue. However, to her surprise, Xuan Yue didn’t even react, merely watching Moon Scar’s tent with great interest. Yue Ji thought, what is going on between them? Could it be that they are just ordinary friends?
Moon Scar glared at his sister in displeasure: "You need to control yourself. Ah Dai is an honest boy, don’t bully him."
Yue Ji pretended to be wronged and said, "I didn’t bully him. I just wanted to teach the little boy a thing or two, is that not okay?"
Moon Scar sighed helplessly: "You, don’t create more trouble for me. I am going to make a fire, to cook dried food for us to eat before resting. We have to get back on the road early tomorrow."
It was a long while before Ah Dai came back from the grove. In the center of the four tents, a large pile of firewood had been gathered, obviously just collected by everyone. Moon Scar and Miao Fei were squatting there, trying to light the firewood with a flint, but due to the moist air, there was no result yet. Wan Li was sitting on the side polishing his heavy sword, and Yue Ji was adjusting her bowstring, while Xuan Yue was nowhere to be found.
Seeing no sign of Xuan Yue alarmed Ah Dai. He quickly came to Moon Scar and asked, "Big Brother Moon Scar, where is Xuan Yue?"
Before Moon Scar could answer, Xuan Yue’s voice drifted over, "So you actually remembered to look for me! I am making food for you guys. Don’t you want to eat steamed buns? Come over here. I have something to tell you."
Ah Dai followed the sound of her voice and saw Xuan Yue poking her head out of Moon Scar’s tent for a second, waving a steamed bun in her hand. Seeing Xuan Yue, Ah Dai was relieved. He walked quickly to the front of the tent, squatted down and said, "Miss Xuan Yue, what can I do for you?"
Xuan Yue glared at him unhappily, and said, "You become so cold when I scold you. Here, have a steamed bun, that should be enough." For Xuan Yue, that was considered as an indirect apology.
Ah Dai accepted the steamed bun, and said, "I’m a fool, I didn’t mean to be cold, it’s just that I’m afraid if I talk too much, you might get annoyed. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first."
Xuan Yue snorted, "You are indeed a fool, oh yes, don’t tell them you have my Phoenix’s Blood, that’s my secret. Look." As she spoke, she lifted the tent curtain, and fetched a dozen steamed buns wrapped in cloth from inside, "This will be tonight’s dinner."
