"Miss Yun Xie...?" An old voice called her.
Yun Xie diverted her attention away from the Demon Dog and towards the man. In front of her, an old man wearing another unfamiliar black clothes was standing there respectfully. The man seemed to be rather old as wrinkles are appearing on his aged face. His grey hair was slicked back in a neat fashion. Although he is old, his full appearance is neat and dandy.
Way better than the old sect eggs in the Cultivation World with their long beards and hair.
How did he do his hair like that, though?
"You are Miss Yun Xie, correct?" The old man once again asked to ease his doubts. Yun Xie nodded at him with confusion and turned to look at the dog for answers. The dog didn't care about her and chose to ignore her, maintaining his lofty and dogly air.
The old man sighed in relief. His worried eyes finally easing up. He continued, "Young Miss was missing for 2 days. Young miss, what happened? Why are you in such a state?"
2 days? Was it something that long?
But, it seems that 2 days have passed when she meditated. Her sense of time is a little dull because once you gain an immortal body, time will not matter that much anymore.
But Miss... huh? She wasn't used to being called as such.
Yun Xie didn't answer him and just continued to transmit brain waves into the dog. 'What's happening? Should I say something?'
Since the dog didn't say anything, then don't blame her! She'll just take things as she wants!
"En. I have returned." Yun Xie nodded with a stern expression. "This deity is fine. You have done well in finding this deity. Expect good rewards in the future."
The old man opened his aged eyes in shock. He has been serving the Yun Family ever since he was a teen. He has watched this young miss grow up since she was a baby. When the young miss was a child, she was energetic and full of vigor. But, much to his dismay, the young miss took a sudden change and grew up to be a timid and shy girl. She was often bullied by her cousins and that took a hit to her personality, so she chose to seclude herself. He wants to protect this young miss, but he can't do anything either. He's nothing more than just an old bone now.
The young miss would always look down and mumble her words. But...
This very same young miss, after just going missing for 2 days and returning with a bloodied appearance, why is her tone right now so... confident?
Her voice is brimming with elegance and dignity too, contrary to the soft mumbles from before as if cursing someone!
Is it really his young miss? The voice is the same too, and the appearance... looks the same as well.
"Young... miss? Are you okay? You're covered in blood, should we get you treated? Did you have injuries? Hit your head?"
"Hn? No. I am now fine. Take me to a river and help me clean this blood."
...A river...?
Why would she choose a river to take a bath? And that blood, where did she get it? It doesn't seem like she has injuries though?
"Woof. (Tell him to take you home.)" After his long silence, Alderam finally spoke, much to Yun Xie's surprise. She thought that this damned dog would continue to pretend dead. Yun Xie nodded at the dog before turning back to the old man. The old man also glanced at the dog for a while before returning his gaze to his young miss.
"Bring me to my home."
Although the old man still wants to ask her questions, he obediently nodded. He walked up to a black car and opened its door, waiting for his young miss to enter it.
Yun Xie finally noticed that black thing behind the old man. He stared at that black thing with wide eyes. This... This is!
This is the legendary moving chunk of metal from the drawings she was reading!
Yun Xie's heart began to thump. Is she actually in that world? Does that mean that she can meet that darn handsome and strong man from the book?
Oh boy. She has to seduce him! She has been single for thousands of years already! She never met any man as powerful as that, and someone great can suit someone like her! Well, that is, if that man can defeat her. If he's weak than what she expected, then nevermind.
"Woof (Get in.)" Seeing Yun Xie flying off with her weird thoughts again, Alderam reminded her and walked on its paw and jumped into the car. The moment he tried to enter the car, the old man grabbed him by his neck.
The old man threw the dog away. 'What's this dog? Is this young miss's? But I don't think that would be the case. Young miss knows that the young master is allergic to dogs, and won't bring such thing.'
Yun Xie stopped staring at that metal and excitedly went inside. It was a good thing that she was somehow familiar with this stuff because of the drawings she has seen on that book. Now, what kind of magic would this thing do? How would this transfer them without magic?
When Yun Xie sat on the luxurious seat of the car, the old man bowed and was about to close the door when the dog on his feet started barking.
"Woof! Woof! (Darned idiot cultivator! Stop this old man!)" Alderam barked towards Yun Xie as the old man tried to shoo him away from entering the car.
Yun Xie stared at that once mighty Demon God barking outside. She grinned, "Little thing, why don't you start running now?"
