Chapter 583 - Stay With Me! (1/2)
”Brother Yuan, do you think the divination is true? Or is this merely a coincidence?” Chu Liuxiang asked him when they returned.
”I want to believe it's merely a coincidence, but…” A bittersweet smile appeared on his face when he recalled what the handsome man in his dream told him.
”I don't know. I just have a bad feeling about the situation.”
Chu Liuxiang shrugged and said, ”Well, even if there is a calamity, I'm sure you'll protect us, Brother Yuan.”
Yuan smiled and said, ”Of course. That is my number one priority.”
The following day, Yuan woke up early in the morning again.
”You've been waking up early lately, Yuan.” Meixiu suddenly stopped cultivating and said to him.
”I'm meeting up with a friend that I made recently,” he said.
”The one who gave you the zither?”
”Yes.”
”I see… Have fun.”
Meixiu returned to cultivating the next moment.
After cleaning his face, Yuan grabbed his zither and went to meet up with Azure behind the immortal caves.
”Have you heard about the approaching calamity?” Yuan suddenly asked Azure at the end of their session.
”Yes, it's always a hot topic within the family, especially as of recently. Did something happen?”
”Well, the crystal is beginning to turn red, which means the calamity is near… really near.”
”Red? That's not good… I hope it's nothing too bad and that it goes away quickly.”
”Don't worry, if anything happens, I will do something about it.”
Azure chuckled and said, ”You sound very confident. It's called a calamity for a reason. If a single person can end it, that would make everyone feel silly for worrying so much about it.”
”But since you said that, I will rely on you to protect me when it happens, okay? I am not very strong when it comes to fighting. In fact, you can even call me a weakling.”
”Of course. You're my friend. I will do my best to protect you and everyone else— that's why I am trying to become stronger— so that I can protect those dear to me.”
”Then it's a promise, Yuan. If anything happens to me, I will haunt you for the rest of your life.” Azure spoke in a joking tone.
”I deserve it if that's the case.” Yuan laughed.
Sometime later, Yuan said his goodbyes to Azure before going to the training hall with the others, where he would spend the rest of the day training with Wang Ming and the others.
This routine would continue for the next four days, and during this time, Yuan would grow more friendly with Azure, even spending more time with her.
Whenever he was with Azure, his mind would feel at ease, almost like she had this magical aura around her.
”Hey, Yuan,” Azure suddenly spoke as she laid on the soft ground beside him.
”What is it?”
”Do you have a girlfriend?”
