Mystical Journey

Boom!

There suddenly came an explosion from the fierce battle over on Yuria’s side. The sound traveled far away and it immediately attracted many people to look out of their window.

“It will be over soon,” Nine-tailed Fox whispered.

“Yeah… Vulture wouldn’t want to attract too much attention,” Garen nodded. “We should also go check it out.”

“You want close contact?”

“Why not?” Garen smiled and turned around to walk toward the door.

************************

Cough cough cough…

Yuria coughed violently with his head down. His entire body was covered with the dust from the explosion.

His sister, Yurijie, was still fine, holding the saber and covering a side of her nose.

Hai Feng had disappeared. He threw out a ball-like thing and instantly disappeared like a ninja. This caused the two to be completely unable to react in time.

“How did this guy flee?!” Yuria said helplessly.

“What do we do now, brother?” Yurijie approached him and asked feebly.

“It’s alright. You have me,” Yuria recalled the writing on the note. “Zhaotong City. If Mother is really there, let’s go find her!” He said earnestly.

“Leave here?” Yurijie was a little saddened.

“Yea… We have no choice now, this is the only thing that can be done,” Yuria smiled wryly. “Let’s leave this place first and talk later.”

He took his sister’s hand and quickly ran in the other direction.

Too many things had happened today. They had to find a place to collect their thoughts and think about what to do next.

They ran a few streets, took a cab, and went home.

Standing outside of their door house, Yuria and his sister were somewhat hesitant as they did not know if they should live there. Obviously, the other party had already found their home, so it was no longer safe.

“Take our money and passbooks, let’s go to Zhaotong City!” Yuria spoke assertively.

“We can go to cousin brother….” Yurijie hesitated.

“Don’t involve other people!” Yuria shook his head. “This is our own matter.”

Yurijie bit her lip, and her cheeks slightly blanched.

“Brother, I’m afraid…” She gently leaned on Yuria’s body.

Holding her sister in his arms, Yuria’s face showed unprecedented steadfastness.

****************

In a coffee shop in the distance, Garen and Nine-Tailed Fox sat together.

“They want to leave,” Garen frowned.

“Rest assured, they will come back,” Nine-Tailed Fox replied without any concern.

“I’m not sure about the details behind, but since we are now involved, I am afraid that the general trend of the events will be affected and changed,” Garen said frankly.

“What can happen just by following them?” Nine-Tailed Fox curled a lock of her hair with her right finger. “In any case, you just have to stay here. He is now replacing the initial Unrestricted Combat Head Minister, Xian Tuguan’s character, who is also super strong in Sword Art and has given out many pointers to Yuria and his sister in the enlightenment of martial arts. However, it’s a pity that he went missing later on. He probably went to university after graduation and did not appear in the original Plot anymore.”

“Alright then, since you said so.” Garen nodded casually.

However, even though he replied as such, as he watched Yuria and the sister embrace each other, he kept feeling as if something was amiss.

“The feelings of these two little fellows are a bit too much…” He rubbed his chin. “Am I too sensitive in this area?”

“Waiter, two more pots of boiled water,” Nine-Tailed Fox began to call out again.

“Nonetheless, aren’t you the head of the biggest gang in the country? How come you appear to have nothing to do all day and just follow me everywhere?” Garen asked with a slight curiosity.

“What do you mean by having nothing to do?” Nine-Tailed Fox’s eyes opened wide. “Without your knowledge, I have already conducted a high-level exchange of information with the waiter, who is an intelligence officer. Through the simple act of asking for two more pots of boiled water, I have briefed the way to manage thirteen tasks and given the review comments of two major resolutions! It’s just that you don’t know!”

“Do you dare brag even more?” Garen was speechless.

“Thank you for your compliment,” Nine-Tailed Fox lifted her head like a cute little hen and laughed heartily.

“Actually, it is not like how you think it is. I mainly have two very reliable deputies who are helping me with all the affairs. That is why I can go about this idly,” she replied properly.

“Is that so?” Garen raised the coffee and sipped it.

Wumpth wumpth!

Suddenly, the cafe’s door was pushed open.

A figure that made Garen and Nine-Tailed Fox slightly startled walked in. It was actually Kong Xinxue!

This fellow was wearing a white T-shirt and skinny jeans and dressed in a sporty look. Her long red hair was hung down loosely behind and her eyes were proudly glancing around in the café before finally locking in on Garen and Nine-Tailed Fox.

Her expression was solemn and her chest was a little breathless. She seemed to have ran over here and was a little fatigued.

“You two!” She strode over and slumped into the seat beside Garen and Nine-Tailed Fox. “When did the two of you get together? So intimate and inseparable still, for fear that others don’t know that you two are a couple. Tsk tsk, even the cups used are the same couple’s cup!”

She picked up a cup and made an expression of disgust.

“Such intimacy disgusts me.”

“Hey, how did you make this out to be a couple’s cup? All the cups in this place are the same, alright?” Garen held the cup and did not see any connection between his cup and Nine-Tailed Fox’s.

“She just simply loves to be garrulous. Couldn’t speak a single word in her last lifetime and could only use the flagellum. Do you know what a flagellum is? It’s those kinds of long, thick, hard…” Before Nine-Tailed Fox could finish her words, her mouth was immediately clamped by Kong Xinxue’s hand.

“Alright. I’ll cut to the chase now. I represent the other people who are looking for you guys to comprehend the situation,” The most intolerable thing for Kong Xinxue was to have someone mentioning about her reincarnation as an E. coli in her last lifetime, and unfortunately, Nine-Tailed Fox loved to bring up this matter.

“How is the situation now? From what I heard from them, you two have been following the situation.” She looked at Garen and asked.

“Still alright. It didn’t change much from the original Plot. Although there were a few differences, they were quickly corrected,” Garen frankly replied. “Besides us, who else is following this closely?”

“There is also an old uncle who lives in the suburbs of the city and is a combatant. He wants to get the mechanical modification technology from the Vulture, so he had contacted me asking for help,” Kong Xinxue said as she let go of Nine-Tailed Fox. “As you know, the mechanical modification technology has a wide range of application and belongs to the low restriction technology that many worlds can use freely. So what that uncle means is that we cooperate and then put it on the forum to trade. The contribution points acquired will be divided into half.”

“He can dream on. Why half the profit? Will the forum be lacking this kind of technology?” Nine-Tailed Fox responded disdainfully. “It’s he himself that wants it but is just looking for an excuse. How did you reply him?”

“That person’s strength is quite good. I intend to borrow his power to follow up the Plot together and pass the intelligence back at any time to prevent any sudden danger from happening,” Kong Xinxue replied in a low voice.

“That will work too. After all, with only the three of us, it’s still a few too little. With only five in total, there are really too few combatants in this area. The ones that can be really deployed are the three of us,” Nine-Tailed Fox shook her head. “Sigh… This is the kind of thing I would just need order countless do. Unfortunately, that was in the past and now I can only do this by myself… Sigh…”

“Zhao Wenzhen, don’t think that I don’t know that thought of yours. All of my younger brothers from their head to toes belong to me, Kong Xinxue, alone! You go back to where you came from! You are not qualified enough even if you wanted to snatch my things!” Kong Xinxue’s threat appeared weak and feeble no matter how one looked at it.

“Yo… How mawkish?” Nine-Tailed Fox giggled. “All belong to you? Have you…done that already?”

“None of your business!” Kong Xinxue’s face reddened.

Garen sat by the side and watched the excitement like a spectator.

Nine-Tailed Fox shifted her gaze. “Younger brother Garen, don’t be fooled by this pure look of Ah Xue’s. What she loves is not your heart, but your body. This fellow is a profound brother controller and will only control all your actions. When she lived with me back then, the number of rotten girl novels could be piled up into a mountain! All she reads is bromance stories!”

“It’s alright. I don’t mind,” Garen replied lavishly. “The body is fine too.”

“I mind!” Kong Xinxue smacked hard on the table. “Alright, back to the point. Zhaotong City, are you all going?”

“Not going,” Nine-Tailed Fox said calmly.

Garen also shook his head. “It’s too far and I don’t feel like moving…” His indolent look made Kong Xinxue furious.

Pap!

“I’m going to go!” Kong Xinxue smacked the table fiercely.

“You’re going?” Garen asked puzzlingly, “What can you do by going there?”

“Overseas business! The original Plot is that she went out at this time and was taken away” Nine-Tailed Fox put in from the side. “Our younger sister, Ah Xue, is actually crying out in the depths of her heart. Come on~~ Come on~~ I beg you to quickly come and protect me!” She giggled. “She is really suggesting that you go with her. Although her mouth won’t say so, her body is very honest~~~”

“Is that the case?” Garen immediately looked at Kong Xinxue and blinked.

“Is your head!” Kong Xinxue’s cheeks suddenly reddened until they were like bleeding. “As soon as I think about being taken hostage by the bad guys, feelings of anxiousness take over, which indicates that I am still in the category of the normal person’s psychological state. Is there something wrong with this?”

“Of course there’s nothing wrong with that, but the way you express it is too lovey-dovey as opposed to your initial cold and hostile stand,” Nine-Tailed Fox purposefully hit the nail on the head.

“Younger brother Garen will definitely be happy to accompany you. As he sees you in this amorous look now, he is already unable to hold it in any longer,” Nine-Tailed Fox’s malignant tongue was no different. “Once I think of the both of you enjoying the world of two people alone in the vast sea, doing the ** and ** things every day, I will be so happy, it would be unbearable! Tell me, cute little Garen, is what I said true?”

She shifted her gaze to Garen who was beside her.

“Absolutely right!” Garen gave a thumbs-up and joined in resolutely.

“You guys! Both of you!!” Kong Xinxue was so mad that she stood up, her face quickly flushing.
