When Crossbow Meets Blade

Chapter 3

Chang'e 's POV

       "Huh? Where's my little bunny gone? Come backk, I have... carrots!" I said, searching for my bunny. Wow, this dude really loves to wander off without me.

     Bunny, bunny, bunny.... Where are you~?

     Around the corner, I spotted a fluffy white tail moving. "Hey! There you are! I've been searching everywhere!" I  said, picking up that little adorable troublemaker. I noticed he was staring out into the training field, so I took a look.

      There, I saw Big Bro Ling and Big Sis Wanwan sparring each other. Both look really focused.

     "Wow! Big Bro Zilong and Baxia should see this!" I said, sprinting down the hallway to the rooms. I slid open their bedroom doors.

     "Hey, you two need to see this! Quick, run!" I said, leaving the door open and running back to the field. They were following me, confused and curious about what I wanted to show them.

      When they saw the sparring happening. they both went speechless. No one said anything, we only watched intently. This was a good chance to see what Big Sis Wanwan is capable of doing.

Wanwan's POV

     Dammit, why did I challenge this dude?! My mouth wouldnt stop moving! Curse you!

    Ling was leaping from wall to wall, avoiding my darts. Damn, he's fast. But not fast enough for me!

    I threw my Fire Swallow towards him, stunning him and making him slip and fall from the wall. But being as alert as he is, he quickly got up and casted his Defiant Sword at me, making me lose some HP. I looked into his eyes. They told me that he is serious about fighting, and that he would never hold back.

     All of a sudden, he leaped up really high, summoning a lot of blades surrounding him. He pointed his finger at me, signalling his aiming. Then, he shouted,

     "May you soar upon my blade!"

    With that said, he stabbed the ground, cracking it. This must be the skill, Tempest of Blades, that once shook the land. I got knocked up, too stunned to comprehend what happened. Ling dashed to one of the four surrounding swords and casted Defiant Sword once again, making me fall onto the ground.

     "Okay, okay! Enough! I surrender!" I exclaimed, holding up one of my hands. Wow, I really regret challenging him... but that's my mouth's fault!

    Ling walked towards me, and for some reason, I felt fear. I know he's my comrade, but the aura he gave... was dreadful. Unlike my brave self, I started shivering. But then, he kneeled down and held out his hand.

    "Are you okay? Can you walk?" he asked.

    "H-huh? Oh, yea, I still am able to walk. Its just that my torso is kinda injured, and my arms are aching..." I replied

   I reached out to grab his hand. He took it and pulled me up. I looked up to him and stared at him. Wow, he is flawless. His face, it looks better up close. We stared into each other's eyes for what seemed like forever, until we heard clapping.

    "Wooh! Way  to go, Ling! As expected of the Great Assassin!" Zilong shouted, with his sister clapping along.

    "Oooh! Are we interrupting a session between you two?" Baxia said, trying to stiffle his giggles. Knowing what he meant, Ling and I immediately let go of each other and  turned our backs to each other. I blushed profusely, feeling heat rise up to my face.

   "Baxia! Stop it with these! You know I don't feel like that towards her!" Ling shouted.

    "Y-yea, he's right! I dont like him that way. A-anyway, you're nowhere near my type.." I said, getting nervous. Oh shit, why did I say that???
