Ah Dai walked back to Xuan Yue’s side, and Xuan Yue whispered, "What, is he still feeling bad?"
Ah Dai nodded, saying, "Yan Shi and his wife really love each other deeply! I’m afraid it will take so ti for him to recover. We need to take good care of him."
Xuan Yue handed a few stead buns to Ah Dai, saying, "Here, eat these. I just gave so to everyone."
Ah Dai was startled and asked, "When did you make these stead buns? How co I didn’t see you?"
Xuan Yue giggled and said, "Don’t you rember I was the last one to get off the wagon? Oh, that’s right! If there’s a chance, I’ll teach you the basic thods of using Dragon’s Blood. That way, you can carry stead buns yourself and won’t have to bother . However, when you use Dragon’s Blood, you should still avoid others; after all, it is a divine artifact." After coming out from the Pu Yan tribe, Xuan Yue had discarded the hierarchical views she once had towards Ah Dai. Whenever she thought of how Ah Dai protected her in the temple, a smile would inevitably appear on her face. She found that her fondness for the silly Ah Dai was growing deeper.
Ah Dai took a bite of the stead bun and said, "Great! I also want to know what Dragon’s Blood is used for. You can tell now."
Xuan Yue glanced at Moon Scar and the others resting nearby and whispered, "I can teach you, but you have to tell what that evil thing inside you is," as Pu Lin the Prophet had ntioned.
Ah Dai’s heart jolted, shaking his head with so difficulty, he said, "It’s better you don’t know about it. Maybe you’ll see it yourself soday."
Xuan Yue pouted and protested, "No, I want you to tell now. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone else. I promise."
Xuan Yue’s feigned anger was exceptionally charming, causing Ah Dai to be montarily entranced. He murmured, "Will you really not tell anyone? Including your father?"
Xuan Yue solemnly nodded and said, "Talk now, my words are always reliable. I know that thing you have is unspeakable. I promise not to tell anyone, including people within the church. Is that fine? Whisper it to ."
The experiences in Tilu Temple had profoundly changed Ah Dai’s impression of Xuan Yue; subconsciously, he had begun to consider her his best friend. He cautiously looked around and whispered, "This sword was passed down to by my uncle. He told not to tell anyone because it’s incredibly evil. It’s called the Sword of Hades."
Xuan Yue was shocked hearing about the Sword of Hades and exclaid loudly, "What? Hade—," but Ah Dai quickly covered her mouth. Anxiously, he said, "What are you doing? We agreed you wouldn’t say it."
The astonishnt in Xuan Yue’s eyes gradually faded; she pointed at the hand Ah Dai used to cover her mouth. Realizing the warmth and slipperiness beneath his hand, Ah Dai noticed how elastic Xuan Yue’s skin was, especially her rosy, delicate cheeks and moist lips. He blushed fiercely, quickly letting go and said awkwardly, "Sorry, Yue Yue."
Xuan Yue breathed heavily a few tis and complained, "How annoying, were you trying to suffocate ?"
Their commotion attracted attention. Miao Fei looked on with a tinge of jealousy and said, "Ah Dai, don’t bully Sister Xuan Yue, or we won’t let you off."
Yue Ji laughed and teased, "Miao Fei, what does their flirting have to do with you? Are you jealous?"
Xuan Yue’s cheeks flushed, and she thumped Ah Dai as she said, "It’s all your fault, they are making fun of us. You owe ; how are you going to compensate ?"
The naive Ah Dai looked at Xuan Yue wide-eyed, saying, "I, I’m already your follower, what more do you want to do?"
Wan Li laughed heartily and said, "You could just give yourself to her."
Xuan Yue’s face turned crimson, and she scolded Wan Li, "Look at you, making fun of ," while she waved her magic wand, and a small orb of light shot towards Wan Li like lightning. Wan Li was just about to defend himself when the orb exploded near him, creating a small crater in the ground and showering him with dirt and grass. Startled, Wan Li quickly tried to appease her with a grin, "Miss Mage, I was wrong, I won’t do it again. Ah Dai, you better make it up to her fast, or she might lose it."
Ah Dai gave a wry smile and said, "I really can’t help it! I don’t know what else I could offer."
Xuan Yue huffed and said, "If you don’t know now, just owe it to for now, and we’ll settle it when I think of sothing." After speaking, she pulled Ah Dai beside her and lowered her voice, "Was what you just told true? Do you really have the Sword of Hades?"
Ah Dai instinctively touched his chest and nodded, "Yes! It was left to by my uncle."
Although Xuan Yue was young, she had heard of the tales of Hades Sword Technique: Heaven Earth Shaker and Hades Sword Technique: Spirit Shock. Although the church had never encountered the legendary top assassin ’Nether King,’ the Pope had long decreed that if church personnel discovered the whereabouts of the ’Nether King’, information was to be reported imdiately to the church. Her father had once told her, the most terrifying thing in the Assassin’s Guild wasn’t the mysterious guild leader but the ’Nether King’ who wielded the Sword of Hades. The sword, discovered by the third generation Pope, contained such imnse evil power that it surpassed all other divine artifacts on the continent. The current Pope had ntioned that the Sword of Hades could be considered the foremost among all evils, incomparable even to ordinary divine artifacts. Xuan Yue could never have imagined that this legendary epito of evil would be in the posession of the simple-minded Ah Dai. On the surface, Ah Dai didn’t seem like a person capable of evil, yet how could he wield such a profoundly malevolent weapon as the Sword of Hades? Trying to suppress her astonishnt, Xuan Yue still spoke in a low voice, "So, this uncle who taught you the use of the Sword of Hades, he’s the top assassin ’Nether King’ of the continent? Where is he now? How did he co to give you the Sword of Hades?"
