Chereads / Devil's Collar / Chapter 19 - Jealousy

Chapter 19 - Jealousy

Julius entered Yui's room and took a seat for himself.

"Who was the person who saved me?" Yui asked.

"I can't tell you that," Julius replied.

"You can't?" Yui looked suspiciously towards Julius.

Julius shook his head, "If he ever wants to meet you. He would meet you."

"So, what are you doing here?"

"I am here to help you," Julius replied.

"Help! How?"

"I can help you in two ways."

Yui made a confused face, "Two ways?"

"Yes. One, I can help you with the cultivation resources you needed. Second, if I'm with you, no one would try to bully you," Julius answered Yui's doubt.

Yui thought a bit about it, "Does he told you to help me?"

"He only told me to check whether you are getting bullied or not," Julius replied.

Yui felt sad and happy at the same time.

"So, why are you giving me resources," Yui asked?

"I cannot look after you for the rest of your life. Once you reach the warrior-qi stage, you can apply for the inner sect, and my duty to look after you will also finish," Julius said.

"What is your relationship with him?"

"Sorry, I can't tell you that," Julius said.

After thinking about it for a while, Yui agreed.

"So, I will meet you every day in the morning at outer training yard," Julius said.

Yui nodded her head.

After that, Julius happily walked out of Yui's room.

At the same time, inside the room, Yui thought that this was her only chance to prove his father's innocence and remove the stigma from her father's name.

Julius, not knowing about Yui past and pain, happily walked to his room.

Julius spent the whole afternoon sleeping in his room.

After he woke up, the first thing he decided to was to eat some food. Once he ate his food, he decided to check up on Yura. As he was making his way towards Yura's room, he met Aki.

"Brother Julius, where were you. I was searching for you this whole morning," Aki said.

"What happened Aki, Why were you searching for me?"

"You know Brother Julius," Aki stuttered while talking.

Julius felt the situation was grave, so he seriously asked, "Aki tell me what happened? I will help you?"

"Brother Julius... It's like this that I had never practised after taking high-grade pills. So, I don't know what effect they will have on me, and my sister is also not present. So that I can take her advice," Aki started blushing once she told Julius the whole story.

She felt embarrassed asking such things.

Julius got a smile on his face, "Why are you getting all shy and embarrassed. It's normal if you don't know about it. I will help you."

"See, your face got all red," Julius said, patting Aki's head.

Aki started blushing even more once she felt Julius's pat.

Julius got a heartfelt laugh when he saw Aki blushing.

"Okay, let's go to the training yard, and I will check whether the pills affected you or not."

Both Julius and Aki went to the training yard. Julius started to check Aki's cultivation method and helped her to improve it whenever he could.

Even though Julius hadn't cultivated Qi, Misha was his teacher. Misha had taught him all the basics and tricks required to reach warrior-qi level. He slowly taught Aki the same thing that he had learned. By him, he meant the other Julius.

"Brother Julius, you are great at it," Aki praised Julius.

"Even I didn't know that I am this good," Julius started blushing once he heard the praise from Aki.

"Brother, why are you getting all red now," Aki said while patting his head.

Julius blushed even more, "Sister don't you getting too naughty. I think you need some punishment."

The moment Aki heard Julius, she started running. He also started chasing after Aki, as both of them were having fun, someone was watching them.

A few minutes before,

"Yura, you know that the saber warrior sect would be visiting us in 2 weeks."

"Yes, Father," Yura replied.

"We have to make sure that our sect shows them a great enthusiasm, plus you should be looking great on that day."

Yura nodded, but she felt wronged from inside.

"Master, how about we take a tour around the sect," A young man in his 20's said.

Lim nodded and said, "It's been a while since I walked around the sect."

"Let me change my clothes and wear some makeup so that no one recognises me."

Once Lim was done, he left with Yura and his personal disciple to walk around the sect.

As they were walking around the sect, they reached the training yard where Julius and Aki were. They watched both of them playing around.

"It's good that he had found someone else," Lim smirked.

The other guy also nodded.

Yura, on the other hand. She felt something burning in her chest when she saw Aki patting Julius's head and Julius blushing from it. Yura felt an intense amount of jealousy from it. It was the first time she had seen Julius happily smiling with someone other than her. Yura didn't know what was she feeling right now, but she hated this feeling. She felt a sense of insecurity when she watched Julius with Aki.

"Let's go somewhere else," Lim said.

Yura and the other guy followed behind Lim. Yura turned back one last time to check on Julius.
