Chapter 125: Previous (4)

In a distant mountain vary, the Peach Blossom Backyard was nestled inside.

Solely recognized to a choose few, it served because the residence of the Cheonma.

A servant, carrying pickled peaches, a pink elixir, and water, knocked on the entrance door of the Lesser Cheonmas chamber.

It’s time to your elixir.

The servant knelt, arms respectfully joined, bowing his head.

Subsequent to the door, a black-painted dragon carving glared with its lengthy, slit eyes.

Please, let every little thing go effectively.

This room was the resting place of the successor to the Cheonma.

Their identify and gender remained a thriller.

Nonetheless, based on servants who’ve witnessed his dragon-like demeanor, he’s fierce and temperamental. A misstep might result in extra than simply expulsion from Peach Blossom Backyard.

Consuming this costly elixir daily?

The servant, too, was a martial artist of appreciable talent.

He has earned a measure of belief inside Peach Blossom Backyard, and catching the successors eye now might pave his means ahead.

This chance can’t be missed.

-Thump.

A brief, boring sound emanated from inside.

The servant tensed his neck, bowing deeply, awaiting a response.

Are available in.

Gulp!

The authority within the voice almost shattered his composure.

Feeling as if a straw had been inserted into his head and vitality was being siphoned out, the servant barely managed to open the door and current what he had introduced.

It was a precept to by no means increase ones head contained in the room.

He sneaked a peek however might barely make out something wrapped within the quilt.

It’s possible you’ll go away now.

Sure, have a great evening.

The silk quilt snugly enveloped him.

From above the quilt, a physique giant sufficient for 2 individuals was seen. Simply as rumored, a outstanding particular person. Precisely as one would think about from the voice.

The servant left the room, bowing, his unique intention to showcase his expertise forgotten.

To comply with him, one have to be of that caliber.

Even a short encounter left his arms trembling.

An astonishing particular person.

Swallowing these phrases, the servant bitterly proceeded down the hallway.

Hes gone.

At Cheondos phrases, I hurriedly crawled out of the quilt.

Ah, I believed I used to be going to die of warmth.

Im sorry. My father at all times says to maintain heat When you want water, its right here.

Although it wasnt her fault, Cheondo frivolously apologized.

I felt awkward simply talking my thoughts.

I scratched the again of my head and requested Cheondo.

Why did you cover me?

Its pure to pay respects when assembly somebody of significance. And also you didnt appear to bear any in poor health will.

I used to be stunned when Cheondo hurriedly instructed me to crawl beneath the quilt on the knock.

So that you often cowl for any stranger? Anyway, thanks.

Its my first time experiencing one thing like this too.

The younger Cheondo gave a slight smile and handed me a glass of water.

Noticing her hair nonetheless damp, I carried out a easy magic to assist dry it.

-Woong!

A magic to evaporate a few of the water in her hair.

My magical energy brushed previous Cheondo like a breeze.

Whats this?

Magic.

Ah, so such magic exists these days.

Was it an period the place magic had but to be totally built-in into each day life?

As I drank water whereas observing Cheondo, she performed together with her fluffy hair, seemingly fascinated.

She regarded like a child seeing a helium balloon for the primary time.

Cheondo blushed, having fiddled together with her hair for a couple of minutes upon feeling my gaze.

Cough So, who’re you? And the way did you be taught my identify by such an odd spell?

Positive.

I can inform youre not an strange particular person. A face Ive by no means seen round right here.

That hurts a bit.

When you inform me every little thing you understand, Unwell contemplate reconsidering my ideas.

Protruding her tongue and laughing, Cheondo then flipped the blanket over herself and lay down.

I smiled bitterly at her youthful playfulness.

So, Cheondo was like this. Now shes virtually impassive. Even the latest playful incident concerned me getting kicked within the ribs for being cheeky.

The playful Cheondo was a curious sight to me.

However dont you might want to take your drugs?

Ah proper, I have to take my drugs Please give it to me.

After I handed over the elixir wrapped in tremendous rice paper, Cheondo swallowed it with none hesitation.

It was a technique of absorbing magic energy I had additionally skilled a number of occasions earlier than.

Forcing magic energy into the physique to increase its capability.

Eek.

Cheondo cutely caught out her tongue and popped a bit of pickled peach into her mouth.

Attempting to neutralize the bitterness with sweetness, she appeared aware of not consuming all of it by herself and slyly supplied me a bit of pickled peach on a toothpick.

Would you want some?

You eat rather a lot. That can make you develop tall.

What does peach should do with peak Youre shorter than our grasp, you understand. Actually.

Im fairly tall, you understand?

Males must be at the very least 2m tall.

Wasnt {that a} bit too tall?

Contemplating her dimension, it appeared believable that the Cheonma might certainly be that tall.

However this was the primary time I had been criticized about my peak since my look modified, so I opened my eyes vast in shock, and Cheondo giggled.

I didnt anticipate to have such a dialog with somebody I simply met.

Normally, you may say something to somebody you meet on the street, who has no relation to you. The nearer you might be to somebody, the extra you have a tendency to carry again.

That sounds believable. Right here, we at all times have to be solemn and dignified.

That have to be powerful.

Effectively its as a result of you understand all my secrets and techniques that I can converse brazenly. If this will get to the ears of my grasp, I is perhaps handled earlier than the moon even wanes.

Thats a bit horrifying.

Contemplating how robust Cheondo alone was, I questioned how robust her grasp have to be.

Cheondo glanced at me whereas fixing her gaze on the peach stew.

What’s going to you do after as we speak ends?

Who is aware of. Unwell give it some thought tomorrow.

Are you leaving immediately?

Its awkward to remain right here too lengthy, however Unwell come by sometimes.

Now that I had memorized the coordinates, I’d be capable of enter Cheondos room anytime I needed if I set my thoughts to it.

Unwell in all probability examine the state of affairs outdoors tomorrow earlier than returning.

Truthfully, simply watching Cheondos childhood might make time fly by.

So, youre not going to inform me why you got here right here till the tip.

I got here to see you. Ive appeared earlier than you twice already.

Thats absurd. Youre risking your life?

It appeared definitely worth the threat.

Cheondo, laughing like a baby on the absurdity, popped one other peach into her mouth.

Unwell consider you this time.

After ending the peaches, Cheondo crawled again beneath the blanket.

Go brush your tooth or your mouth will rot.

Dont deal with me like a baby.

Tonight, it appears Unwell be dozing off sitting up.

The World Tree of Time hasnt contacted me but.

Possibly its as a result of Ive used loads of magic, or its simply taking longer than earlier than.

Fortunately, Cheondo is lenient in any other case, individuals would have gathered, and it will have been chaos by now.

There may need even been a combat.

Had it been simply the soldiers delivering drugs or one thing of that kind, I may need managed. Nonetheless, if the Cheonma had appeared, I’d have been in actual bother.

It was extraordinarily lucky that Cheondo was favorably disposed in the direction of me, for some cause.

Lets simply sleep.

After ready for about half-hour, simply in case the World Tree of Time would reply, there was no response. Cheondo fell asleep shortly, as she did when she was younger, and never lengthy after, I additionally drifted off to sleep.
