Chapter 1080 - Hard-Headed (1/2)

When Jiang Fei appeared in the game, Miluya was standing right in front of him, waiting.

“Big brother! You’re here! I’ve missed you so much!” cried the no-longer-little girl as she jumped to him and gave him a hug.

“Eh? How… Why… Did you waited for me here, all this time?” said Jiang Fei. The little girl had always been on her own and Jiang Fei would take some time before he could even find her. Today, oddly enough, she was waiting for him.

“Tch! It’s because of that little lion! He’s not fun to play with anymore!” Miluya vented.

“Oh no… what did you do…” said Jiang Fei nervously, thinking that she might have killed the Guardian Lion.

Miluya had the appearance of a young adult, perhaps the same age of Jiang Fei now, yet her mental age was still that of a child. With Jiang Fei, Miluya completely lowered her guard. She saw Jiang Fei as someone as close as her own brother. She then proceeded to tell everything about the Ten-Headed Guardian Lion and how he had managed to piss her off.

After she was done venting everything, Jiang Fei pitied the Guardian Lion. To think that the girl had actually learnt to be angry… Jiang Fei could empathize the Guardian Lion of what he had been through.

Jiang Fei knew that the girl might have grown physically while still behaving like a child, the Guardian Lion did not! Everything that the girl said or told was treated as the truth by the Guardian Lion. He was already scared stiff to how Miluya grew and when she started to lash out words when she was mad, the Guardian Lion, even as a High Celestial tier boss, was afraid to go against her. How could he still play around with the girl that had killed all of his underlings? The unfortunate part, besides being forever bound to Miluya, was his silence and stoic demeanor around Miluya. To more careful he was, the more Miluya felt he was boring. As such, Miluya could not stand to even look at him until the point where the girl would not want to play with him anymore. Which led to where Jiang Fei was now.

The Guardian Lion was still there, standing majestically by her side but not daring to stand too close. To become Miluya’s mount was a fate far more cruel than actual death. At least he would be spared from days of being in constant fear.

“Big brother! Where are we going to play today?” said the girl as she tugged his sleeves. The girl was not contented with playing with the Guardian Lion and wanted to play to her heart’s content with Jiang Fei.

“Let’s go to the altar!” said Jiang Fei.

“Oh yeah! To the altar!” Miluya cheered happily. She had been to the altar before but it was when she was only a little girl no taller than the base of a chair. She was chased away before she could even get close to the altar. Now that Jiang Fei was taking her there, her mood was immediately better.

“Oh yeah! Let’s go!” said Jiang Fei matching her enthusiasm. The Ten-Headed Guardian Lion remained quiet even when Jiang Fei was already there to lighten the mood. He was still afraid of Miluya and what she might do. In the end, as his servant, he needed to follow wherever she went.

After a short walk, Jiang Fei realized that he was being surrounded by Primodials. Not purposely but merely position. They were all unaware of his current position but if Jiang Fei tried to move forward, he would be stepping into their aggro range. There was no single open path for him to move.

Jiang Fei sighed heavily before he opened the bad news to Miluya.

“Miluya, we need to stop here. If we go any further, the bad guys will know and come and stop us.”

“What?! No! I don’t want to stop! It’s the same as the last time!” said Miluya disgruntledly. She clearly remembered what happened the last time she came.
