Chapter 159 - Desire (1/2)
When I finish the man in front of me, I pull him to the side and hide him behind a fallen table. After they're sucked dry, they're much lighter! Hah... that should be a disturbing thought Nova... I shake myself as I watch a white streak fly back and forth in the room.
To my surprise, it doesn't seem like anyone notices him! He flies back to me and says ”Time for yummies Master!” I giggle and say ”Good job, Bun. I'll give you extra yummies later!” I feel him shiver in excitement as a slowly stand up.
Bai Lei blocks a powerful blow but he flies back, straight into Ren. Bai Lei slams his blade down into the wooden floor and uses it to come to a stop. He unleashes his power causing the pressure in the restaurant to grow as the table and chairs around him flies back.
I feel it become harder to breathe as he brings the blade up, clashing with the other man's blade. The fact that he's able to stand against them as long as he does says something about his strength but I feel like he's holding back...
I quickly shake myself and immediately pull the dark power in the room to me. The man fighting Bai Lei freezes with his blade in the air before being stabbed in the chest. Bai Lei looks just as shocked as the man before turning to look for me.
I quickly suck them dry, wasting no more time in killing them. After killing the first guy, only four remain so it isn't hard at all but when I feel a hand grab my shoulder, I quickly grab the hand, digging my nails in to pierce the skin before quickly spinning around.
Shock hits me as I look up to the man behind me. Guozhi's shock mirrors my own before slowly smiling and saying ”Funny meeting you here bunny. You seem to be doing... well?” I blink in surprise before quickly releasing his hand and saying ”I'm so sorry! Are you okay?”
He looks down at the small nail marks before lifting it to his mouth and licking it while giving me a knowing smirk. ”It's fine bunny, I shouldn't have snuck up on you but what are you doing here? It isn't safe. Do you want to get kidnapped again?” He says quickly losing his smirk.
A strong arm wraps around my waist before I'm lifted and place behind a strong back. I look up to Bai Lei as he glares at Guozhi and says ”What did I tell you? Stay away from her.” Guozhi's smirk is back as he says ”Bunny and I are just friends, isn't that right?”
He looks to me before looking back to Bai Lei and saying ”Plus, I was given to her as her new play toy back in the Under Realm before escaping to her world and then coming back here. So we became good friends.”
Bai Lei tenses as I feel like smacking Guozhi. Why does he always say the worst possible thing? I try to step forward but Bai Lei won't let me so I sigh and ask ”What are you doing here Guozhi?” He turns to me and smiles as he says ”I was just enjoying a meal when these guys came in. I decided to stay low, hoping they wouldn't catch me again.”
