Chapter 9 - 9 - Its nice to relax once in a while (1/2)

Indifferent amber eyes, glanced as a set of tea and snacks was place in front of him, glancing briefly at the middle age woman that has serve him, before nodding his head in a polite way and stayed silent after it.

Snow might be acting kind and easy to get along with base with his interaction with Li Chen but that was because of his own personality and not of the original Xen, since Xen has the pride and disposition of someone who was in current power in the Royal family, a Regent King, second only to the Young Emperor.

Even if Xen was a very kind person even when he belong and grown up into the royal family, there is always that callous way of him handing the life of other people beneath him, turning indifferent and ruthless when it comes to other people lives.

Xen has the disposition of leader, powerful and majestic, it didn't change the fact that Snow was also someone that has been leading people in his original life.

”Enjoy your tea and snacks, I'll leave you alone now.”

Autumn just smile, eyes brimming with kindness despite Snow indifferent attitude before quietly leaving the room in order to give Snow his peace of time.

Snow just silently stare at the tea for a second before lifting it with his hand and taking a small sip on it after checking out that nothing harmful was added into it.

Although he might trust Li Chen, it doesn't mean that Snow will trust anyone else, even if Autumn was someone that Li Chen can get along with.

Besides, as Snow place the tea cup down the table and reaching over the snacks that look like a donuts, Autumn has been acting quite suspicious after Li Chen has has helped heal him over the cold Poison on his body.

Oh Autumn was not acting dangerous or in a threatening way toward him but she has been acting extremely nice and well when it come toward him, she has been so nice to the point that the reason why she was acting that way was not because of Li Chen alone anymore.

She kept giving him glances that she thought she has hidden very well, which she was not and glancing from time to time to where his heart is, precisely toward the mark on his chest which happen to be the print image of Flake that look like a birthmark.

Snow couldn't help but wonder why she has been interested on it since he know for sure that the original Xen doesn't have that mark on his chest before and it only appeared because of his appearance, that is like Snow signature mark when doing his missions.

So he couldn't help but wonder why she was interested on it, anyway as long as it was not something that was against him then he will ignored it for now, but will always be in the back of his mind.

Taking a sip with his tea one more time, Snow stood up while conveniently checking over his appearance, another green garment again, his long ink black hair was tied low with a simple green ribbon and was place over his left shoulder.

Just a simple appearance, not overly luxurious but not poor looking at the same time.

Well, its been 9 days since he has been staying with Li Chen, and Snow knew that he will be so busy and troubled when he goes back to the Palace, so for now, he will try to relax in peace, besides Li Chen was out in the town at the moment, buying a very important items which Snow doesn't really know about.

It might be really important that Li Chen wasn't ordering Autumn to be the one to get the item he needed.

He is quite curious what it was but for now since he is currently free at the moment, its time to go relax and also exercise this body of his, since he needed to be entirely be in sync with his vessel.

So now, where was his sword again.

”Here you go Snow!” Flakes has given the sword to Snow by using his own spiritual energy causing Snow to smile. ”Thanks!”

Taking a step, Snow once more has gone out using the window before dashing deeply inside the forest that was a few distance away from where he has been staying at.

.

Roar

A large black bear use it huge paw to stamp toward a small figure wearing a green garment on its front him, which the small figure nimbly dodge as he step on the side before jumping up and running on the black bear long arm.

Snow just smile with a calm amber eyes as he run at the arm of the rampaging large black bear with ease before gripping tightly the sword on his hand, an internal energy wrapping around it before swinging his sword horizontally, cutting the large bear head as it flew high up in the air while large blood spew out from where it was cut down.

Amber eyes blink, before he quickly dodge away from the body of the large black bear since he doesn't want to get dirty from the blood.

Snow glance at the sword on his hand that remain spotless despite what he just did for a second before putting the sword back on its scabbard.

They said that a bear paw taste quite good, he wonder if Li Chen know how to cook one.

”There you are Little Xen!” a worried voice echoed out, huh, talk about the devil and he will appear.

Snow smile and blink his amber eyes before turning his head and seeing a slender tall figure wearing a simple and spotless white robe along with green bamboo design standing quite a few distance from where he was at.

”Oh... Welcome back Li Chen.”

”... Ah... I'm back little Xen...” Li Chen smiled happily before walking toward to where Snow was standing his black ink eyes glancing up and down on Xen deicate body checking for any injury before turning around and taking out a shorten knife over his waist before squatting down as he began to cut down the dead black bear before him, knowing that Xen has wanted to eat the bear without even being told about it.

A flash of appreciation on Snow amber eyes before disappearing quickly as he walk to the left side of Li Chen, squatting down beside him as Snow watch Li Chen process the large black bear that he has just killed for tonight dinner.

Humming a little bit, as they stayed quiet for a few minutes in a comfortable silence before Li Chen spoke, ”I was very worried when I didn't see you back at home after I came back from the town, so I was looking around for you.”

He explained while giving him a worried look from time to time causing Snow to blink his amber eyes before glancing side way, Snow kind of like the warm emotion he just felt, quite few people has been worrying about his well being on his original life after all while as Xen, he was a person that no longer was use about people worrying about his well being since it has only been the Young Emperor that only care about him anymore.

All the people that has love him already died, while he was betrayed by the remaining people that should have been caring about them.

Li Chen observe Xen reaction at the corner of his black ink eyes, as it narrowed down since he couldn't help but feel distress over Xen reaction while secretly making a vow that he will be looking after Xen well being now and in the future.

The two of them will definitely be together for a long time after all, and nothing will stop him from getting what he want.

Li Chen will removed anyone that get on his way.

Ah, such a wonderful feeling to experience, it felt bitter but felt so sweet at the same time.

After finishing taking all the delicious part of the black bear for tonight dinner, Li Chen conveniently stored the Black Bear Meats in a small bag on his waist, it was like those with a dimension space but it doesn't have large space on it, but it was still a very rare item to have and only those great nobles families and extremely wealthy people can afford it.

Xen couldn't help but narrow his amber eyes slightly on the small bag before glancing away, he knew that Li Chen was always watching and observing every action that he make, so showing a very rare item was Li Chen way of telling him that he was not a very simple person despite how he appear to be.

Well, he could understand Li Chen idea, it was not great to hide everything about himself toward him, and if Li Chen ever want Snow to be able to trust him without being suspicious and in doubt about him all the entire time then, it was a good strategy to start slow at the moment, especially in the long run of them being together as allies, for now.

Give a little bit of trust at the start, if they want to be able to work and, well, be together in a long run, a new start and beginning between the two of them.

And if he want their relationship to be strong and will last a very long time without any misunderstanding causing them problems, then Li Chen need to be trust by himself, at least Li Chen need to start showing what he is capable of and showing all about him slowly from now on is a good start.

Isn't that wonderful? Snow couldn't help but smile in excitement unconsciously.

Li Chen couldn't but sigh inwardly with how he is always handling and interacting with Xen, this will take a bit more longer than he thought, who told him that the one he was interested with are a very and extremely complicated person?

At least, for now, Li Chen doesn't want all the secrets that he has, specially his abilities, to be the one to get on his way with his pursue on the young boy beside him.

He will definitely go in rampage if it that ever happen.

So with a kind smile, Li Chen offer his hand toward the beautiful young boy, finding the confuse expression on Xen face to be so adorable before joy burst out his chest as Xen with a bit hesitation grab his larger hand with his own small hand.

Li Chen heart start beating as the small soft hand fit over his own large hand, he knew that the way he was acting is really sappy but well, he never knew how wonderful it was to have someone that can affect him.

He doesn't find it as a weakness the way he felt toward the young boy, it was a very wonderful and special to Li Chen to even experience.

This is something that he really want.

Deep within his soul, this was something that he has been yearning for.

So that's why as he carefully walk with Xen in the forest, holding hand in hand as they make way to the place he can finally feel and call his home, there was no way that he will be letting go of the hand on his grip.

Possessiveness and obsession glinting deeply over his darkening Black Ink Eyes for a few seconds before it disappear just as fast as it came, the kind and gentleman appearance he has outside not changing one bit.

This person was his, even if the young boy doesn't know it yet.

.

Snow couldn't help but let his amber eyes run up and down in secret on the man perfect body, the muscles not overly large along with that awesome abs of his, long and powerful leg with that handsome appearance that appeared kind and gentle all the time.

When it come to someone, Snow really doesn't have any preference over a person, as long as she or he doesn't betray him and stay true to himself then, Snow other half could be anything and anyone.

You could say that, he will start appreciating that person entire being, good or bad, when he decided who his other half will be.

And right now, as Snow soft looking tongue lick his lip, feeling his current body being more sensitive than his original one before, well it wasn't really that surprising, he was a fair after all, one who has a very delicate body with a charming and youthful appearance.

Snow couldn't help but wonder and imagine what kind of body he will be using for the next mission worlds.

Well, it will be interesting to find himself using a female body for once though, since he knew that the client gender is not destined to be entirely male type after all, look at what he currently residing, a male but not male with a female part added and mix into it.

Anyway, someone might be wondering what was Snow currently doing at the moment, well he is currently sitting behind Li Chen back which was currently n.a.k.e.d on his upper body, his small palm feeling the heat radiating on Li Chen skin despite the fact that he was not touching him at all.

He was currently awakening Li Chen Martial Art abilities using his own inner energy to awaken Li Chen current body potential since the Li Chen in the future memory has never awakened it, not only because Li Chen doesn't really need it from all the abilities that he already has, but because when awakening someone Martial Abilities, you have to trust that someone with your life and your entire well being or else it can be life threatening and dangerous with just one wrong move.

Specially when Li Chen has been the leader of the rebellion.

That is why, their parent or families was the one who awaken the martial abilities when they were still young.

Unfortunately, the original Chen was somehow taken away before he got the chance to awaken his Martial Art potential.

And in the future with the Earth Li Chen, he was not able to trust anyone that much, not enough to let someone awakened it.

Hiding to his trusted and loyal people about showing that he just not have the potential in Martial Art Internal Energy despite how talented he was in fighting.

Li Chen might have to use some type of item to help him with his System Store, but it was not guaranteed that nothing bad will happen since somehow Black system got more limitation when it come to awakening the abilities in this world.

So Li Chen didn't use the abilities of using the inner force energy to help him more easier during the civil rebellion before, and it was also the cause of reason why it also took Li Chen a bit longer to be victorious despite being much stronger, since he was after all fighting not only one person.

But now that Snow appeared, there was no way that he will letting it go, he will make sure to make Li Chen more stronger because its going to be more helpful and useful to his use.

Besides, it also part one of his test to see if Li Chen can trust him enough with his Life.

And well, seeing as he is currently awakening Li Chen Martial Art Abilities then yeah, Snow is liking Li Chen more and more now.

A pink tongue suddenly pass over his lip before licking his small pink lip as he stare deeply at the currently sweating Li Chen, a predatory glint appearing on his amber eyes and Snow was not hiding it since he knew perfectly well that Li Chen has to concentrate 100% during his awakening ability, so he couldn't see his current expression which was different from the Xen that he has been showing.
