Chapter 90 |
Luolin extended both hands and directly embraced Ailuka.
With warm jade in his arms, Luolin at this moment couldn't muster that kind of thought or idea. He closed his eyes, his body stiffening.
He waited quietly, waiting for Ailuka to directly push him away, but Ailuka didn't do that, nor did she do anything else.
Ailuka just became quiet like this, even quieter than her usual self.
This strange scene also made Luolin feel somewhat odd, as he thought something unexpected had happened to Ailuka.
'Ailuka?'
So Luolin called out, but he still didn't get a response from Ailuka, only silence.
Ailuka clutched Luolin's clothes, but gradually sank into calmness.
She bent down, burying her face in Luolin's embrace, and gradually became quiet like this.
Luolin called out again, but just like before, he received no response. After waiting like this for quite a while, Luolin finally couldn't endure it anymore. He tried to move his body, and this time, without being firmly suppressed by Ailuka's tremendous strength, Luolin could indeed get up.
It was just that Ailuka had fallen into his embrace, placing all her body weight on Luolin.
It seemed Ailuka had quieted down. At this moment, her breathing was very even, and she was in a deep sleep. Luolin breathed a sigh of relief while also feeling somewhat puzzled.
'Finally quieted down, but what's going on? I haven't even given her the sedative yet.'
Luolin said strangely, naturally hoping the system could answer him.
[It seems she suppressed the berserk power herself, but also exhausted her stamina as a result.]
'I see.'
After a thorough explanation, Luolin finally understood.
Looking at Ailuka at this moment, Luolin also felt somewhat emotional.
After going through so many things, Luolin naturally understood that Ailuka's body must contain quite a few secrets, and even she herself didn't know what secrets were hidden in her body.
However, Luolin didn't regret any of the previous events either. Moreover, regretting at this time would be completely useless.
Gazing at Ailuka lying in his arms, Luolin reached out to tidy up her disheveled hair a bit.
'Really, if this girl could always be this quiet, wouldn't she be much cuter?'
Luolin was also helpless.
From an external perspective, Ailuka was undoubtedly a beautiful young girl, but her personality was just too fiery. Ordinary people couldn't handle her. Didn't Luolin himself often get bullied by this girl, even accidentally injured?
The evening breeze blew around them, and Luolin felt somewhat cold. Only then did he remember that his clothes had been torn to shreds by Ailuka.
'Wasteful child, clothes also cost money to buy.'
Luolin tugged at the strips of cloth on his body, once again helpless. He stood up, holding Ailuka.
'Better go back first. If someone else sees us here, it would be impossible to explain.'
Luolin was also somewhat guilty. With such a scene, whoever saw it wouldn't believe a single word from Luolin's mouth, right?
There might even be some righteous partner who would jump out wanting to eliminate Luolin.
So Luolin slowly got up, carrying Ailuka back. His pace was neither hurried nor slow. He also tried to return as quickly as possible, hoping not to run into anyone, especially acquaintances.
Not long after Luolin left, this patch of grass had another reaction, with another figure appearing nearby.
He gazed in the direction where Luolin and Ailuka had left, watching intently.
If Luolin were here, he should be able to recognize this person, because he was the certain person Luolin had seen in the Xikaer City Mercenary Guild, the man who had 'released' Luna back.
'Hey hey hey, didn't expect this good show to end so quickly.'
Actually, he hadn't gotten too close, nor had he personally witnessed what had happened between Luolin and Ailuka just now. Everything was only obtained through 'sensing.'
But he knew roughly what had happened.
Ailuka had obviously gone berserk, but for some reason, had calmed down again.
"I thought I would need to lend a hand in the end, but what a pity—there wasn't even a chance for me to intervene?"
As he spoke, he gazed in the direction Luolin had left, revealing a somewhat sinister smile.
"It seems you're much more formidable than I imagined. However, this level of power may be far from enough."
He withdrew his gaze, reached up to pull his hat down a bit to cover his face, and quietly concealed his body in the darkness, as if he had never been there at all.
"Do you have the courage to continue the trial? Let's keep watching and see."
