Yue Ji was still dressed in her dark red light armor, carrying a Silver Longbow on her back. She was enveloped in a faint fighting spirit, advancing rapidly. She also caught sight of Kino and couldn’t help but show a trace of joy in her eyes. In a few bounds, she had arrived by Kino’s side, slightly out of breath as she said, "I’ve finally caught up. You all run so fast! It exhausted , but luckily I managed to catch up to you here."
Kino murmured, "Miss Yue Ji, why have you co?"
Yue Ji replied with a hint of annoyance, "What? Am I not welco? You were just going to leave like that. Big brother is a bit angry, you know."
Kino nodded nervously, "I, we really do have important matters to attend to, and can’t stay for too long. Besides, yesterday Ah Dai and Xuan Re put on quite an impressive display. It made the people in the rcenary Corps too enthusiastic, they couldn’t handle it. Miss Yue Ji, please don’t bla them!" Facing the person he held dear, Kino was very nervous, his cheeks flushing red and his hands fidgeting anxiously in front of him. Watching his shy deanor, Yue Ji burst into giggles and said, "Who would bla you? Look at you, acting like a demure maiden. Why do you blush every ti you see ? Ah! You couldn’t possibly have really fallen for , right?" As she spoke, Yue Ji leaned closer to Kino, gazing into his shifting eyes.
As Yue Ji’s face lood larger in his vision, Kino’s heartbeat suddenly quickened, his face turning a purplish red. The fragrance of Yue Ji filled his nostrils, his mind growing muddled, almost in a trance, unable to utter a word. Suddenly, he felt warmth at his nose and instinctively reached up to wipe it—a streak of liquid trickled down, startling Yue Ji.
"Wow, you’ve got a nosebleed. Don’t tell , at your age, you’re still like a lovesick young boy. It seems my charm is really sothing! Haha, hahaha..." Her laughter rang out like bells, and Yue Ji hadn’t felt this free to laugh in a long ti. Her laughter also drew the attention of the three walking ahead. Ah Dai and his group turned around and upon seeing Yue Ji, they all wore surprised expressions. Ah Dai floated up and landed beside Yue Ji and Kino, sowhat embarrassed, "Sister Yue Ji, how co you’re here?"
Yue Ji gave him a sideways glance and said, "I ca after you. You left without saying goodbye face to face, is that any way to behave? Ah Dai, I’ve found soone even dumber than you. Look, I got only a bit close to him and he started to have a nosebleed. How cute!" With that, she pointed at Kino and couldn’t stop laughing.
Ah Dai followed Yue Ji’s pointing finger and saw Kino, indeed, with a cherry-red face and blood staining the front of his shirt. Standing there awkwardly, his facial expression seed almost contorted. Reminded of his own past experience when he had first seen Xuan Yue bathing in the Tian Gang Mountain Range, wasn’t he just like Kino back then? A sense of empathy arose in him. He reached out and placed a hand on Kino’s shoulder, channeling robust True Qi into Kino’s body, imdiately stopping his nosebleed. Grateful, Kino swiftly wiped the blood off his face.
By then, Xuan Yue and Olivia had also rushed over. Xuan Yue was alright, but Olivia burst into laughter upon seeing Kino’s state. Unlike Ah Dai’s straightforwardness, he instantly knew why Kino was in such a state. "Haha... Wahahaha... Kino, you’re so hopeless! Just by seeing a girl, you end up like this, haha... I’m dying of laughter."
Kino’s embarrassnt finally found a target. Glaring at the laughing Olivia, his eyes almost shooting fire, a faint red glow erged around his body, and the temperature around them began to rise. Kino angrily said, "Olivia, make your stand if you dare. Oh great Fire God! Grant the Power of Fla, turn fla into dragon, dragon into blaze. Burn, Fla Dragon."
Olivia was taken aback, his laughter stopping abruptly. Although he often joked around with Kino, he had never used magic above level five. Their Magic Levels were similar, and with the Staff of Wind God’s assistance, Olivia’s strength was not much worse than Kino’s. Seeing Kino use the level six Fire System magic Fla Dragon, Olivia was shocked. After all, magic of any system, once beyond level six, beca very difficult to counter. Not daring to delay, Olivia hastily conjured a Space Barrier and took out his Staff of Wind God. With a flicker, nine blue Clones ford a semi-circle in front of Kino and began to rapidly retreat, creating so distance.
Ah Dai had grown accustod to Kino and Olivia’s bickering. With a helpless smile, he let out a soft white fighting spirit that enveloped Xuan Yue and Yue Ji as they floated back, landing tens of ters away. With the protection of the fighting spirit, they would not be hard by the aftereffects of Olivia and Kino’s magic. Since it was early morning and there were no pedestrians on the road, Ah Dai let them be.
A huge Red Fla Dragon erupted from Kino, spiraling above his head. The Fire Dragon’s size grew continuously. Kino glared at Olivia fiercely, just waiting for the Fla Dragon to fully form before launching an attack. Olivia, caught off guard by Kino’s enraged embarrassnt to this degree, had no choice but to chant the Wind Shield Spell with the help of the clone stacking technique granted by the Staff of Wind God. After all, it was his fault, so he felt ashad to counter Kino’s attack directly. "The breeze flies high, and the air solidifies into a shield. Oh great elent of wind! Protect." A light blue orb appeared in front of each clone, gradually taking shape into nine Wind Shields. Under Olivia’s control, the nine Wind Shields flew out from the clones, quickly joining together in front of Olivia’s images. With the power of the Staff of Wind God, the shields fused into one, and the Wind Energy in the atmosphere stirred continuously. The Magical Energy magnified through this stacking, growing larger and larger. By the ti Kino’s Fla Dragon had ford, the Wind Energy Shield had beco a massive two-ter tall shield, with small whirlwinds spinning on its surface. With the protection of this powerful Wind Shield, Olivia finally breathed a sigh of relief.
