Chapter 62: The mindset of a warlock, truly terrifying!
Xiao Shen hurried over to the restaurant in less than five minutes. Coming in, he was relieved to see that Tian Hua was still there.
"Fuu..." He breathed out a sigh of relief.
He really feared that someone who wanted to get back at him for something would decide to harm Tian Hua!
"Shen-ge!" Tian Hua’s face instantly brightened up upon seeing him.
For a second there I had begun to think that he abandoned me..
She thought to herself.
"Sorry I took long, Hua-jie." Xiao Shen said as he shook his head a d sat down.
"Mmn." Tian Hua nodded her head. Then, she squinted cutely behind her big round glasses and puffed up her cheeks. "Shen-ge... You don’t hate me, right?"
"...." Xiao Shen.
Tian Hua, what kind of question is that, out of the blue?!
He chuckled dryly and shook his head again. "Nonsense! How could I hate my Hua-jie?"
"Shen-ge doesn’t have a girlfriend, right?" Tian Hua asked with a light smile.
"Nope." Xiao Shen shook his head. Then, he looked at Tian Hua. "But why these questions all of a sudden?"
"Xiao Shen, you always leave me alone to wait in one place or the other!" Tian Hua pouted and folded her hands, looking exceedingly cute. "I thought we were supposed to hang out. You know, just you and I?"
"Oh? Then I’m very sorry, haha." Xiao Shen gave a hollow laugh. "The thing is that I’ve just been really, really busy. Stuff pop up here and there, requiring me to take care of them. There’s Fair—, I mean, Shan Ye’s matter, there is, well, the matter of another cousin of mine who came visiting, many things, haha."
He looked her in the eye and gave a reliable smile. "But, don’t worry. I’m not going anywhere anymore..."
[Anchor, there is an energy surge around the area!]
[Tsk, why did you tell him?!]
[Anchor, you and that young miss are not dating each other, right?!]
[Little young miss should know her boundaries! How dare she demand Anchor’s attention!]
Energy surge?!
Xiao Shen furrowed his brow.
F*ck, is it those Desolate Yin sect fellows again?!
"Good." Tian Hua smiled cutely, showing her dimples.
At the same time, he stood up and gave her an apologizing look. "Hua-jie..."
Tian Hua’s smile froze on her face as a foreboding feeling rose in her heart. "S...Shen-ge? What’s wrong?"
"Something came up and I’ll have to step outside for a bit..." Xiao Shen spread out his hands.
"....." Tian Hua was speechless. She was very aggrieved at this moment. "Shen-ge..."
"It would be best if you headed back to the dorms, I might take a while. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take you out for something good another day." Xiao Shen said with a forced smile.
"B... But Shen-ge! Did I do anything wrong? Why don’t you want me around anymore??" Tian Hua’s eyes took on a shade of red as tears welled up in them.
If Xiao Shen wanted to call it quits, then she should at least know what she did wrong so that she could apologize!
Ever since he rejected her confession back in middle school with a ’When we grow older’, she had been waiting and hoping for when the right age would reach.
Alas, it now seemed as though Xiao Shen despised her.
[Little miss just had her heart broken!]
[Ah~ rending a heart is one of the greatest joys of life~]
[That was mean, Anchor!]
[Anchor is cruel...]
[Excellent work, Anchor! No mortal girl is good enough for you! Only me!]
[@###, bullsh*t! You’re already dead, ■■■■! What, you want him to go down to ■■■■ mountain’s secret realm and f*ck your corpse instead of a hot human babe?]
[Aiyah, if I’d have known about this seven hundred years earlier! I’d have smashed!]
[@###, Sick Pervert!]
"...." Xiao Shen was speechless.
"Humph!" Meanwhile, Tian Hua received no answer and flew into a rage. She took up her bag and stomped her foot, throwing her glasses off her face before heading out the door. "You are mean, Xiao Shen! You’re the worst! You’re a terrible person and I regret ever meeting you!"
BANG!
Since her glasses had fallen off and she did not bother to pick them up, Tian Hua was unable to see properly and ended up hitting the edge of the door. The pain alongside her pent up feelings made the tears run freely down her cheeks. She clenched her small teeth and balled her small hands into fists. However, she did not cry. She steeled her resolve and left the restaurant directly.
"Haha..." Xiao Shen scratched the back of his neck. Several people in the restaurant were now giving him strange looks or were staring daggers at him.
Even the waiter back at the end of the room, who was busy serving people, by the way, stopped looking at the glass of water that he was pouring for a young couple and let it overflow as he gave Xiao Shen disapproving looks.
Even the young couple stopped what they were doing and dissaprovingly looked at him too.
Xiao Shen was at a loss for words. Thus, he quietly left the restaurant and headed outside. After all, he had wanted to see the source of that energy surge.
I wonder if it’s a Witch or a Cultivator...
He wondered as he opened the door.
Let’s just hope that it’s not that Desolate Yin sect’s people coming for me again....
***
Earlier, a man and his companion were casually passing by this area, when, suddenly, they felt the aura of a high quality mana stone.
"This aura..." The man widened his eyes.
"To think that we would chance upon a high quality mana stone!" The companion, a woman, said with a smile.
Mana stones were precious treasures to any Arcanist. They were melted into the base for potions, could be used to draw runes, could be grounded into power for different kinds of spells...
They could be used for almost anything!
Thus, he and his companion decided to follow the aura and trace the Fellow Arcanist who carried such a mana stone.
Naturally, their intention was to murder the fellow and take it by force, but, since they were currently in the midst of mortals, they would just ask ’politely’.
However, if the fellow Arcanist refused, then they would still murder them. Though, if the fellow Arcanist agreed, they would still kill them too.
The only difference was a death now and a death later.
This was the terrifying mindset of Warlocks.
