Chapter 44: Quick Tempered (1)

Silence ensued since Luis didn’t answer right away. Only the rustling of the leaves and the distant noises of the animals are heard.

"Hoot. Hoot," the sound of an owl echoed nearby. It’s eerie song cut through the silence between the three moon elves.

’Are we going to die? Xagrien must offended the moon elf lord. This loud silence... We are going to die, right?’

Ilian is a trembling ss as his mind is playing countless scenarios where the moon elf lord killed them all because of his best friend’s impertinence.

’Xagrien! You are supposedly not that talkative, rember?!’ Ilian’s rant in silence.

It isn’t impossible for them to end like those root crawlers underground! He did his best to control his urge to look back. Ilian couldn’t help but envy the others who are relaxing under the shade of the trees far from here.

Xagrien on the other side is also bothered by the silence. ’What is wrong with this bearer?’ he wondered.

If it weren’t for the faint sound of scrubbing, then he would have thought the moon elf lord was taken away.

What they didn’t know was that the moon elf lord is deep in his calculations and was calmly considering the consequences of revealing what he had found out.

Thanks to their presence, Luis is approaching this calmly this ti. Setting aside his wrath and blood thirst. It can be seen in his slow but graceful movents speaks that he is taking his ti.

Luis finished cleaning his body and then dressed himself first. Once done, he crept to Xagrien’s side and raised a brow at him.

"Why should I tell you that, Xagrien?" Luis playfully asked the male. He thought of the possibility of being monitored so he decided to withhold his explanation for the an ti.

’The fact that they can suddenly change their controls over a root crawler to protect the stone proves that they must have eyes to oversee their plans.’

It’s best to discuss it once they are out of the woods. There is no reason to put that person on guard and hasten them to implent their sche early.

They should focus on killing root crawlers as much as they could. Hence, Luis decided to bullshit his way and it seems like soone’s not appreciating it at all.

"Forget it, moon elf lord." Xagrien’s face looks like he had eaten sothing sour.

"Quick-tempered." Luis laughed tauntingly then he poked Xagrien’s firm waist multiple tis. ’So hard!’

The moon elf lord then approached Ilian and properly give his thanks to this cute fellow.

"We will leave later so you better rest for now. Great job explaining what happened, Ilian."

Luis flashed a formulaic smile that should be enough to soothe the tenseness that Ilian is exhibiting.

"C-can I leave now, moon elf lord?"

"Uh hmm," Luis nodded in a light-hearted way.

"T-thank you, m-moon elf lord."

However, Luis’ approach failed miserably upon seeing how Ilian hurriedly go away. The chubby moon elf is more than willing to find a place to rest his trembling knees.

Luis sighed. The other moon elves that he t look at him with fervor but this ti, it seems like he will be a subject of fear to these new subordinates of his.

’Good thing there are only a few individuals who saw the carnage that I did.’ Luis thought, most of them were still on guard against him so it will be harder for Luis to integrate with them in the future if all of them are afraid of him. They must have felt like they willingly sent themselves to be eaten by a beast if that happens.

Luis was helpless thinking of this. ’Can’t they just focus on my face and not think of anything else?’

His back straightened upon realizing sothing essential.

Speaking of subordinates, he rembered the ones that he left. He missed Olyn and the others. There is sothing missing ever since he hasn’t felt their overprotectiion for quite a while.

"Ah, Xagrien." Luis called.

But there was nothing. The male who was standing in front of him sat under the tree as if he didn’t call him.

’So this is how you’re playing, huh?’ the moon elf lord’s pink lips involuntarily twitched.

Luis approached the sitting male god with an ominous smirk on his face.

"Xagrien!" Luis mischievously pinched Xagrien nipples. Yes, nipples. The moon elf lord used both of his hands to twist the male’s twin peaks through the leather armor.

"What are you doing?!" Xagrien almost jumped up after feeling the sudden sharp pain on his chest. His face was as red as a slapped buttocks.

Feeling satisfied with what he did, Luis smirked like the devil.

"That is for ignoring . Believe , starting today I will pinch that perky nipples of yours whenever you try to ignore my presence."

"What?!" Xagrien looked at Luis incredulously after hearing that. He cannot believe the lengths that this bearer can do! He had never t any bearer before that faithful night in the woods happened but he is certain that they do not act this way towards males!

Despite the strong feeling that his chest is suffering right now, he tried to calm himself after looking at the bearer’s face.

"Do you think that the phenonon Ilian described spread to the entire Shane Greenwoods?" Luis asked after seeing that Xagrien’s attention is on him.

"Why, you want your subordinates to follow you here?" The male’s expression plumted a little.

"That is indeed the plan in the first place." Luis reaffird. Upon seeing the darkness that veiled the handso face of Xagrien, he imdiately acquiesced.

"You don’t need to worry. You got

as your backer so they won’t be impolite with you and your friends. At least for now..."

Xagrien breathed a sigh then stared at the distance, "They must have felt it."

’How unfair. How co there are people who look gorgeous even with their side angle when there are others who’s nightmare is accidentally opening their front cara.’

"Really? Then you felt it too? The tugging feeling that Ilian explained. That doki-doki of your heart?" Luis excitedly asked with a hidden motive. Who knows maybe this will lead to confession?

However, the bubble that he made inside his head was rcilessly popped by this handso jerk.

"Moon elf lord, I don’t think that I am in a position to tell you this but I will divulge it for the sake of your leadership. Please speak in a language that we can understand or else we will ss up unknowingly because of your confusing word." Xagrien deadpanned. It was swift and without any pretensions that it directly crumpled Luis’ ego.

’Ahh, are your lungs okay? I didn’t expect that you could say such a long statent in a single breath... You’re supposedly a man of few words, you know?’ Luis ant to say that but he just swallowed it and threw it to the deepest part of his mind.

What a consistent anti-romantic. The only redeeming feature that this man has is absolutely just the face!

Well, the body too... And the thing down there...

~

Ti passed by just like that.

After the 30 minutes is done, Luis and his group of orcs and moon elves move to another section of tunnel that is nearby. He made it so that if ever Legland is tracking him through that phenonon that he caused then they can easily spot each other.

Most of them are putting down their things and preparing their weapons.

On the other hand, Luis and Xagrien is standing on a thick tree branch, they are scouting the entirety of the location.

Out of the blue, Xagrien pointed at a distance.

"That direction is where a clan resides. We are not sure what clan it is since we are not in a position to introduce ourselves to them."

Luis looked at the male, uninterested. ’Oh, is that so? Who asked in the first place?’ the moon elf lord’s unspoken thoughts.

Luis was about to instruct the group on what to do when he abruptly stopped.

He rembered sothing that he almost forgot. That damn little beast that threw him into sticky situations twice!

"Anyway, what happened to that little chick?" Luis crossed his arms and looked at Xagrien.

Honestly, he isn’t sure if he should feel grateful or annoyed with this flabby little bird.

Every ti he reunites with this chick, trouble always cos his way!

He honestly wants to grill that damned chick just thinking about it!

Luis amassed all of his available reasons to calm down.

He discovered the clues of conspiracy courtesy of this little bird so he should give the chick a little leeway.

"I left him in Nine’s care." Xagrien’s standardized answer. Now faithfully embodying the man of few words persona.

’Seems like he has reached the word threshold earlier, huh?’ Luis thought about how this male crushed his fantasy a while ago and he cannot help but roll his eyes at him.

"That bird spews poison at anyone as long as there is a chance to do so, you know?" Luis pointedly asked.

No matter how cute that chick was, it is obvious in its behavior that it is vicious in nature. He is of course worried about Sibal’s cute little brother.

However, Luis’ worries are apparently nothing to Xagrien.

"Don’t worry, it won’t. Even if it did attack Nine then it ans that you need to beco more intimidating in the future."

Luis’ right brow twitched twice. This guy is especially bold and irritating today!

’Is this his payback for telling "Why should I tell you that?" earlier?’

Xagrien is surprisingly petty!

The male who is oblivious of the frustration that he is causing to the bearer that caught his attention proceeded on calling the child to et the irritated moon elf lord.
