The Journey to the East The Journey to the Future The Journey to the End

Chapter 36

Sorry I didn't update yesterday, very very sorry. Family affairs. ;-;

Ling's POV

The cheers and applause died down after a while, and we returned to awkward awkwardness. 

Uh, anyone going to continue to eat? I'm sure whoever he is, Yu Zhong is not a good guy, and not a good guy on the loose with Luo Yi is definitely no good news. After daydreaming about what could possibly happen, I picked up my chopsticks again and continued to eat my noodles. 

Okay... Awkward moment where everyone watches you slurp up your noodles.

Soon after, everyone continued with their meal. We made it quick, very quick. Why? You may ask. If the sky is darkening swiftly, and if some light shines in front of your store door all of a sudden, and it has that ooh I am Luo Yi and I'm here to kill you, little brother kind of vibe, you know it has to be her. 

So, we finished our food lickety-split, returned our trays, got the staff to hide somewhere, and got into our battle pose.

All in the time frame of twenty seconds.

"Nice to meet you again, weirdoes. Ha ha ha ha! You think we are going to fight here? My foot! Now, I need a cup of tea to wait for my CD to be over. Anyone?" Luo Yi blabbered one she appeared. Just as she pushed down the door to look for the staff to either strangle them to death, or nicely order a cup of tea. Chances are she'll pick option number one. If not, option two. There is no in-between.

Indeed she picked the first option.

She strangled those poor people to death, for a cup of tea.

Though Luo Yi is really that dumb. If you strangle the staff to death, who will make you tea? But the reason she wanted tea was to wait for her CD to be over, and strangling people to death will take some time, so I guess to her it's the same thing. Except to most of us who can't see it her way, it's just grisly.

"Okay, my CD is over, shall we get going?" She said, as she walked out of the kitchen, sweeping her blood-stained hands. Everyone watched her walk out with different expressions. Zilong's brows were furrowed, Chang'e was taking cover in Baxia's arms, and Baxia himself focused on Chang'e so he wouldn't get frightened either. Wanwan was running around as if some invisible thing was chasing her and threatening to eat her up. Me? I just stood there and watched her walk out, like it was some sort of normal phenomenon, which, it is. Oh yes, the Great Dragon. He disappeared. Okay, good. "Uh, Luo Yi, did you ever consider not killing people while waiting?" I asked, not wanting to address her as jiejie (Big sister). No one wants her for a sister. Unless you are those kinds of evil people who have evil intentions and want to do evil. "No one cares, baby brother. Now get over here or you shall die a sufferable death," she commanded. I'm not very sure why we all listened but anyways, we did. 

We huddled up together and waited for Luo Yi's whatever Yin Yang thingy thingy to teleport us to the battlefield.

Upon our arrival, I saw a guy in purple. A guy so in love with the colour purple he covered himself and Luo Yi head to toe in it. 

It had to be him. It had to be Mr Purple. 

"Now, I don't think a 2v5 is fair, is it now?" He asked, "Oh, and how rude of me to not introduce myself. This is Luo Yi, I'm sure you all know her, say hi Luo Yi. And I am Yu Zhong, or more commonly known as the Black Dragon. Anyways, let's pull three people away from the battlefield. Don't worry, you guys will just be waiting." 

Okay, this is oddly friendly of him.

Wanwan, Chang'e and Baxia were shoved to one side while Yu Zhong continued to speak, "Zilong, come with me. Ling, well, why not you put an end to your little brother-sister rivalry?" 

He then grabbed Zilong by the wrist and disappeared into the unknown. 

Meanwhile, Luo Yi and I stayed where we were, at the same purple, rocky place we fell into. We circled each other, readying our weapons. The inevitable fight was about to begin.
