Chapter 22 - Unexpected Plot Twist
After telling them to run away, Aryan cast a Grasping spell to trap the ferocious beast and give them an opportunity to escape.
Suo Fei originally had some doubts, but he had no time to think about that now.
Aryan was a human after all. No matter how high his cultivation was, it could not exceed his innate talent, and yet, he fought the ferocious beast on his own, completely disregarding his own life.
Suo Fei quickly took out the beast core from his interspatial bag and threw a ball of fire towards the ferocious beast. Its power was far greater than he imagined. The burning ferocious beast wailed like a ghost and its attention turned towards Suo Fei.
When Suo Fei confronted the ferocious beast, he discovered that the ferocious beast’s eyes were bloodshot and out of focus, which was definitely a sign that it had lost its mind.
How could this be? He had yet to straighten his thoughts when the ferocious beast that had gone mad lunged at him.
Even though its appearance was slightly terrifying, Suo Fei was not that worried. Samael was behind him therefore his life was not at risk.
However, he forgot about Aryan.
The ferocious beast crazily bounded towards the two people. Aryan turned pale. He didn’t have much time to think. He dashed towards Samael and Suo Fei while struggling to hold up his fire shield.
He appeared to be trying all his best to protect them.
In a flash, Samael activated the Asura Blade. A demon had admirable physical strength and Samael had very high innate talent.
He moved so fast, it seemed like he teleported himself under the ferocious beast. The sharp bloodthirsty Asura Blade sounded in the air as it flashed like Aurora. The beast that was initially baring its teeth and claws suddenly fell to the ground.
It was a seckill.
Suo Fei, who had already seen his prowess, was shocked to see this scene, let alone Aryan.
He was utterly shocked. He was in a wretched plight because of his prior fight. His blond hair was covered with dust but his dark green eyes were surprisingly bright.
— This is the might of a Divine Artifact. It’s so fascinating.
The giant beast fell to the ground with a loud crash, signalling that the battle was over.
Suo Fei heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Samael. The Asura Blade had already returned its appearance into a dagger. His fingertips were still dripping with blood, which was an eye-catching bright red against his fair skin.
Suo Fei frowned. He felt that something was amiss.
Samael also glanced at his fingers. His purple eyes flickered. He turned his sight towards Suo Fei, locking on his lips.
His gaze was too intense that it made Suo Fei feel a twinge of embarrassment. At the same time, he was also unable to make head or tail of the situation. Is there anything on his mouth?
He was just about to touch his lips when Samael finally stopped staring at him. He handed the Asura Blade to him and said, “It’s your turn.”
Suo Fei was stunned. It’s…. It’s his turn? He took the Asura Blade that had already turned back into a dagger. He only reacted after he realised what was happening after a long time.
This… Had skinning and deboning become his profession?
He looked up at the giant beast that had dropped dead on the ground and felt that this profession was not bad.
He immediately rushed up towards the beast, brimming with joy. The ‘sleeping’ Asura Blade became as mighty as a tiger in his grasp. The skinning and deboning of the meat was outrageously smooth.
This time, Suo Fei relied on the Elves’ enhanced agility and physical strength to finish his job.
Aryan who was resting at the side was dumbstruck watching him. If Samael’s seckill shocked him because of his ferocious strength, then Suo Fei made him feel somewhat terrified.
The ferocious beast was no less than four meters high. Although the Elves were tall, Suo Fei was still not an adult so he was still small and slender. When he stood in front of the ferocious beast, describing him as too frail to stand a gust of wind was already being too polite.
Yet, this frail youth was actually able to dissect the ferocious beast which had been split into two using a dagger calmly (excitedly).
The separation of the flesh and skin was a bloody mess. Aryan took a glance and couldn’t help but avert his gaze. The scene was too disturbing.
If Aryan knew that the first time Suo Fei wielded his dagger against a mountain-like seventh-grade ferocious beast, and the second time, he skinned the legendary tenth-grade ferocious beast, then he might not be as surprised as he was at that moment.
For Suo Fei, the first time was difficult but he was more skillful the second time. Therefore, for the third and fourth times, it was simply a trifling matter. He quickly separated the fur, bones, and the meat before meticulously dividing them into three portions.
He wiped his sweat before looking at Samael with sparkling eyes, “I’ll help you keep your share.”
Samael replied with an okay.
Then, he turned towards Aryan. He pointed to a hill-like pile and said, “That is yours.”
“…..” Aryan was speechless for a long time. Realising that Suo Fei was serious, he quickly waved his hands and said, “I don’t need it. I didn’t do anything. You guys killed it so it belongs to you two.”
Although Suo Fei divided it into three, Aryan’s portion was as much as the portion of his and Samael combined together. Firstly, he wanted to increase Samael’s favourability. Secondly, he also felt grateful to Aryan. He was not stupid and could clearly see that Aryan risked his life to save them beforehand.
He was bad with words. He cannot butter someone up so he could only express his gratitude through actions. However, Aryan refused to accept it so he didn’t know what to do.
Samael saw through his intentions so he told Aryan, “He’s thanking you.”
Suo Fei nodded in assent.
Aryan was surprised. His eyes narrowed slightly and he spoke somewhat vaguely, “Mauer City is my territory but this kind of ferocious beast appeared. If it weren’t for your extraordinary abilities, I would have lost my own life here. I am a City Lord. Since this thing happened in my own territory, this is due to my own negligence.”
The more he spoke, the lower Aryan’s voice became. As he had just gone through a battle, his neat and tidy equestrian outfit was badly torn. The white clothing was also stained with dirt which made him appear all the more embarrassing. Now that he hung his head low and uttered words of self-accusation, he looked very pitiful.
Suo Fei terribly wanted to comfort him with words but he was already not sociable even before he became an out-and-out recluse. When he turned into a recluse, it got even worse. His mind was filled with a barrage of words on ‘how to coax a self-blaming beauty’ but when it reached his lips, he could not spit a word out.
He couldn’t speak out but the gears in his mind turned. He thought that this was a great time to show that the ultimate gong’s tender doting was peerless.
Look! Quickly look at Aryan’s weak appearance. He definitely needs a sturdy arm to lovingly pamper him!
If Samael was able to seize this opportunity well, Aryan would definitely get shot by an arrow, p.s: a Cupid’s arrow.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was reasonable. He then started to clearly and intensely hint at Samael, blinking until his eyes hurt.
“If you don’t want it, then forget it,” Samael said at last.
Ara… Is that the main point, boy?
In this situation, ultimate gong, you should embrace the depressed little shou in your arms. Comfort him in a gentle, sexy voice that is deep like a cello. Tell him that it’s not his fault, that this was something completely unexpected. Tell him that he had done well, that he already did his best and risked his own life. Tell him how brave he was, how kind-hearted he was.
Unfortunately, ultimate gong daren was already lost in the piles of skin, meat and bones.
Suo Fei sighed wearily and glared at Samael with a look of resentment for failing to meet his expectations.
Samael smiled faintly at him, “These are all yours.”
Suo Fei was confounded for a moment. When he understood, he blushed with shame. F*ck, ultimate gong, you’re using your skills on the wrong target ah!
Don’t carelessly fire your ‘tender doting’ shots on the wrong person ah! Your aiming point should be your little shou over there!
Unfortunately, Samael’s scope was most likely broken.
Aryan still hung his head down. His blond hair draped on his forehead, covering his eyes. It also covered his mouth that was slightly curved.
After such a thing happened, their stroll naturally came to an end and they went back to the City Lord’s residence.
Aryan Mauer was the City Lord so he was not an idle person. He told his people to earnestly examine Samael and Suo Fei’s body before leaving in a hurry.
Samael and Suo Fei were not injured. After the healers conducted a routine check-up, they gave the two a lot of buff spells before they left since Aryan attached great importance to them.
After the strangers had left, Suo Fei looked at Samael, wanting to talk with him.
Talk about what? Of course, he would give out pointers to this muddle-headed youth by relying on his rich experience as an adult. He would help him fix his scope to accurately lock on the unknown little shous. Then, Samael would fire his shots, capture them one by one, and enjoy the life of having a harem.
However, how should he start the conversation to discuss this kind of deep topic?
Suo Fei pondered.
As he was lost in thought, Samael suddenly got up, walked towards the door, and locked it. Then, he went back to Suo Fei’s side.
“Do you want to tidy up your interspatial bag?”
Suo Fei froze slightly. He was used to throwing everything into his interspatial bag before slowly arranging it afterward. Samael unexpectedly noticed this. However, he had a more important matter to attend to so he evidently didn’t have time to tidy it up.
“I’ll tidy it up later.”
“All right then,” Samael paused for a while before continuing, “We should verify one thing.”
Ara? Suo Fei confusedly looked at Samael.
Samael took out the Asura Blade, and lightly glided it against his arm. Blood immediately dripped out of his tender skin. The Asura Blade began to suck greedily and transformed into its real form.
Suo Fei was dumbfounded. W-what is going on?
There were no ferocious beasts or enemies in sight, only him and Samael. Samael activated the Asura Blade….. Could it be that Samael wanted to hack him to death?
F*ck me! What is this unexpected plot twist?
Suo Fei began to reevaluate his earlier actions and determined that he had not done anything to Samael. Obviously, the atmosphere between them just now was pretty good! How is it that their blades were drawn against each other the next second?
