Chapter 78: Baby steps first!
"Ah, thank you, uh, Fellow Arcanist Chu Lin." Xiao Shen took the sigil and thanked her. Then he glanced at Tian Hua and asked. "Can I bring someone along?"
Tian Hua’s eyes brightened up upon hearing this.
"Sure." Senior Sister Chu Lin smiled and nodded her head. Then, she looked at the bodies of Zhao Xixi and Zhou Lan. Well, the corpse of Zhou Lan, as Zhao Xixi was still alive.
"Second Level True Arcanist rank Warlocks? Little Miao, you defeated them?!" Her eyes widened in shock.
"No, it was fellow arcanist Xiao Shen that took care of them. I bravely fought a dozen golems all by myself!" Chu Miao shook her head.
"Oh?" Senior Sister Chu Lin looked at Xiao Shen with a surprised expression.
She was a Third Level Greater Arcanist rank Witch and could not feel any mana at all in Xiao Shen’s body. Earlier, she had assumed him a mortal that had changed upon a fortuitous encounter and obtained a mana stone, but decided to give him face and still invite him over to the Chu Clan for helping Chu Miao get the high quality mana stone.
But now, her entire perception of him had been overturned!
She could also recognize the two Warlocks. They were notorious figures who had been doing vile deeds since the Warring States period!
The magic community of both Witches, Sorcerers, Mages, Wizards and Cultivators had been hunting for them for centuries, such that they even had a large bounty on their heads!
"Fellow Arcanist Xiao Shen, you wouldn’t mind if the Chu Clan cashed in the bounty of these two vile Warlocks, right? Of course, the all reward would go to you, while we keep the reputation. Surely we shall compensate you for it!" Senior Sister Chu Lin had an excited expression on her face.
If the Chu Clan cashed in the heads of these two wanted Warlocks of the Second Level True Arcanist rank, then they would rise in prestige!
It should be recalled that these two were as elusive as elusive could be. Today they could be spotted in the south, and one would hear that three peasant villages had vanished in the north.
"Hmm, no. I don’t mind." Xiao Shen shook his head. Actually, he had been wondering how he would manage to dispose of the bodies later. Luckily, Senior Sister Chu Lin had offered to take them away!
"Hey, I helped too! Would Chu Ancestor compensate me too?" Chu Miao said.
"Tsk," Senior Sister Chu Lin grabbed Chu Miao by the neck and laid her across the flying broom the same way an angry mom would toss a naughty kid over their knee for a good spanking. "Aiyah, Little Miao, you can ask the Chu Clan’s Ancestor yourself."
The broom was small and that was the only way that Chu Miao could get on.
Hanging over the broom in such an embarrassing manner made Chu Miao blush. "Senior Sister Chu Lin, why didn’t you bring another broom!!!"
"I forgot." Senior Sister Chu Lin shrugged her shoulders. "Well, it’s about time we get back to the Chu Clan."
Chu Miao smiled brightly and cupped her fists. "We shall meet again, Fellow Arcanist Xiao Shen! Little Sister Tian Hua, see you soon~"
Senior Sister Chu Lin also cupped her fists. "Let us meet again."
She then made a hand seal and the two bodies; that of Zhou Lan’s hole ridden corpse and Zhao Xixi’s listless eyes, rose in the air along with them.
"Bye~" Tian Hua and Xiao Shen both waved at them as the flying broom flew away with a pew!
Pew~
The two of them watched the flying sword get farther and farther into the sky until it disappeared into the cloud. After they were gone, Tian Hua turned to look at Xiao Shen. At the same time, Xiao Shen also turned to look at Tian Hua.
"What do we do now?" Tian Hua smiled cutely, showing her dimples.
Xiao Shen smiled back and waved the bank card in his hand. "I believe I owe you a proper date, no?"
He was aware that Tian Hua had feelings for him. Infact, he had been aware of it for the past two years since she had asked him out in highschool.
Till today, he could still recall that incident as though it was yesterday.
「"Shen-ge... I have something to ask you..."
"Oh? What’s up, Hua-jie?"
"Shen-ge... if you wanted to do naughty things... would you like to do them with me?"
"Pfffft!" *sound of choking on a drink and spurting it out of his nose* "Tian Hua, what are you saying?!"
"I am saying.... Shen-ge, would you like us to become, like, boyfriend and girlfriend? You know, the type that holds hands and kiss and stuff."
"Cough. Hua-jie, why did you suddenly think of this?"
"I... I like you very much Xiao Shen!"
"Ahem, Tian Hua, we are still young. Let me think about it, alright?"
"Oh... okay."」
He could remember the day after, how she smiled when he had said that he was not ready and was still too young.
「"Hua-jie... I’m actually not interested in becoming boyfriend and girlfriend. I’m much too young and must focus on important things first!"
"O-Oh. Ahaha, that... that is good..."
"Ahaha, it’s good that Hua-jie is okay with it. I feared that we would turn awkward like Yun Mei and Fei Guanbai."
"I... I’m fine." *sniff*」
Come to think of it, he was rather stupid back then. Well, considering the fact that she had stayed by his side all these years, Xiao Shen felt like it was not a good thing to keep pushing her away and delaying things.
"A... Date??" Tian Hua’s small face blushed in a shade of red. "Like... Like a real date where we go eat out and end up having sex...."
"Hua-jie, you’re moving way too fast!" Xiao Shen raised his hands. "Baby steps first!"
[Little Miss goes straight to the point!]
[Respect for little miss!]
[Baby steps first and making babies next~]
Various comments appeared in the bullet chat.
"Ahaha," Tian Hua chuckled melodiously. She then smiled at him. "Let’s go then. But don’t back off when I pick us a five star restaurant! You’re f*cking rich now!"
