道罗邪皇子 (邪神之道 B5)

[...]

[...]

With Duo Tian have taken off with Yi Ye Gui Feng and the demonic self looks to the other from the corner of their eyes spawning an unusual tension.

[...]

Eventually it is the demonic self who chooses to look forward as his eyes met with Die Fei's and towards this silent gesture Die Fei whispers closely to Xiao Ju Hong's ear before walking forward.

Upon seeing Die Fei walking towards him the demonic self turns his body around and leaves for the doors.

[*Sigh*]

The moment those two vanished from sight Ye Gui Feng raises a sigh of exhaustion. At this time he really didn't know what to make of the demonic self's existence and the connection they share with each other.

At the same time Ye Gui Feng is also somewhat curious about the odd relationship between the demonic self and Die Fei.

"Is everything over?"

Walking forward Xiao Ju Hong raises this question to Ye Gui Feng to which the latter looks to both her and Xiao Lian.

[Everything should be over now however...]

Until these odd guests leave it's difficult to say for certain.

"I don't sense any ill intent from the two that left first."

[Duo Tian and Yi?]

As the spirit of the Dao Lotus Xiao Lian's words held a certain level of credibility to them.

[Hopefully that really is the case. Oh...]

Recalling a certain few Ye Gui Feng waves his hand causing a rift to split open by his side and emerging from within the rift are the figures of Bai Yuechu, Ming Xiao Luo, and Miao Xiao Lin.

Compared to Miao Xiao Lin who is obviously in a good mood Ming Xiao Luo had a rather sour look on her face whereas Bai Yuechu gave off a more carefree air.

[Repairing the sword won't be possible right now but I do have an alternative vessel for you.]

Knowing the reason behind Ming Xiao Luo's sour expression Ye Gui Feng brought this matter up quickly and hearing these words the former's eyes released a noticeable gleam.

"Tch."

Contrary to Ming Xiao Luo who showed joy Miao Xiao Lin clicks her tongue.

"Do you have something to say to me you cheap knock-off? Why don't you make it clear huh?"

"Heh... What's there to make clear of? The one whose vessel broke in that battle is obviously an inferior product. What was so difficult about enduring a weakened monarch's strength?"

"Oh?"

Obviously riled up by the other's provocation the two looked as if they'll begin a fight at any moment but-

"Well I suppose you're not really to blame for it. If anything it should be the one who was holding the vessel."

Changing topic in a flash Miao Xiao Lin directs a harsh glare at Ye Gui Feng and towards this the latter can only choose to acknowledge that it was indeed his fault in his lack of attention to detail.

[I'll be more careful in the future.]

"More careful?"

An intense flare erupts from Miao Xiao Lin's eyes as she snaps back at Ye Gui Feng with a harsher tone.

"How about making sure that it doesn't ever happen again? As weapon spirits we're tied to our vessels. Any damage the vessel takes can affect us as well."

While saying this Miao Xiao Lin lunges her right hand forward and unable to react to the former's abrupt change in attitude Ming Xiao Luo who is in an absent state of mind didn't think to even evade the former's hand that pries a portion of her white robes aside revealing an unsightly crack on her chest.

[...]

Seeing the damage on Ming Xiao Luo's body a heavy blow seemingly lands on Ye Gui Feng's chest while the former hid her injuries quickly.

[I'm sorry.]

"...It's fine. I'm still here aren't I?"

Hearing these words and seeing the genuine smile on Ming Xiao Luo's face a greater sense of fault manifests in Ye Gui Feng's heart. Had he been more careless would Ming Xiao Luo have perished in that battle?

[...]

Thinking of this the feeling of fault immediately turns to discomfort.

Having spent these past few years together as a family missing any single one of those that are currently present along with Die Fei who is elsewhere at this time-

"...*Sigh* so long as you understand."

Although she knew that by bringing this topic up will cause the atmosphere to feel strained Miao Xiao Lin still felt the needs to do so.

One is to remind Ye Gui Feng that on the battlefield he wasn't alone.

Two may be a bit more selfish but anyone who values their life would surely choose to voice their concerns when the one responsible for them has gone and behaved in such a reckless manner.

Sacrifices and the likes aren't uncommon on the battlefield and as weapon spirits that tend to be passed from one hand to another Miao Xiao Lin is instinctively accustomed to witnessing such events but that didn't mean such events always needed to happen for there is a fine line between what's considered a necessary sacrifice and an idiotic sacrifice that is the fault of one's own carelessness.

"Remember what you're holding and using to kill your enemies is another life."

[...No. It's not just a simple life. It's the life of a family member.]

Placing a hand on Ming Xiao Luo's head Ye Gui Feng-

[I'll never allow your vessel to break ever again.]

Makes a sincere oath.

"It's a promise then."

Seeing this exchange between the two Bai Yuechu smiles openly whereas Miao Xiao Lin turns the other way with an air of satisfaction in having gotten the chance to give the person she ranked at the top of her hate list a lecture.

*...!!!* just as the strained nature of the air begins to dissipate the earth gives off a slight tremor and following it dust clouds can be seen rising in the far distance.

[...?]

Alerted by this Ye Gui Feng directs his spirit senses in the direction the tremor had originated from and upon getting a clear view of the situation killing intent flashes in his eyes but just as he is about to take a step forward-

"Leave them be."

Xiao Ju Hong places her hand onto his shoulder while looking in the same direction.

"Those two... I suppose they have some personal grievances to settle amongst themselves."

[What sort of personal grievance would they even have?]

"She wouldn't say and I don't think we have the rights to know unless she's willing to tell us about it voluntarily."

"..."

Knowing what might be happening in the distance Xiao Lian can't help but recall the conversation she had with Die Fei in the past.
